Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 15

In troubled times, businesses with industries are the most insecure group.

And when hungry people are everywhere, jewelry, jade, silk and satin are useless things, they can only bring disasters to themselves.

"Then shall we just sit and eat?" Shen Zheng said after being silent for a while, Shen Zheng was really reluctant to give up such a large family business.

Li Jing shook his head: "There is one business that must be done."

"What business?" The Shen brothers asked in unison.

"Food!" Li Jing said.

Li Jing naturally knew about the phenomenon of small glaciers around the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to stockpile more grain while the situation was not severe.The so-called food in hand, don't panic, but to store food, you have to rely on the financial resources of the Shen family.

Li Jing smiled and said: "As long as there is food in hand, with the talents of the three, you don't need me to tell you how to do it, right?"

Anyone who is not a fool can guess what Li Jing means.

Using food as a bargaining chip, a large number of refugees can be recruited in an instant. With the help of the refugees, the government has to re-examine the strength of the Shen family.

At that time, let alone small shrimps like the Xu family, even a governor had to consider the weight of the Shen family.

"It makes sense, then we will transfer all other industries, leaving only the rice business."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zheng stood up, took a deep look at Li Jing, nodded slightly, and took the two brothers to leave.

Early the next morning, Ma Wushou came down to report that officers and soldiers had appeared near Xiaomazhuang, and later found the abandoned temple, searched around and turned back.

After hearing the news, the Shen brothers, Li Jing and the others were all secretly rejoicing.

Although the officers and soldiers left temporarily, the Shen family did not dare to act rashly. After all, the Shen family had a large population and the goal was too big.

But there were some things that had to be dealt with immediately, so Shen Zheng gathered his family members and sent them out one by one, including Shen Yi and Shen Qing.These people are all spread out so that they don't attract attention.

The Shen family has a lot of business, and it is impossible to do everything by themselves, so they hired many shopkeepers to take care of the business for them.

These people will rush to various places to notify the shopkeepers everywhere to end the business.

Some things can't be rushed, so many businesses can't be stopped just by stopping, you have to find a buyer, otherwise the loss will be huge, even a behemoth like the Shen family can't afford it.It will take at least a few months for these industries to be processed, and this is not considered a business in a distant place.

While the Shen family was dealing with family affairs, Li Jing was also discussing the future with Old Man Chen and others.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry that I have caused your family and me to suffer." Li Jing said.

"Stop talking nonsense, just say what you want to say!" Old man Chen said with a glare at Li Jing.

"Hey!" Li Jing scratched his head and smiled, and after a while he said seriously: "Uncle, we live with Ma Wu and the others now, we are either bandits or bandits. If you don't want to bear the name of a bandit, I will Try to get some money for you, take your two brothers and go somewhere else, you can't live near Lin County."

Hearing this, old man Chen sighed and said, "Good boy! Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I can tell that you are a character! Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about your martial arts. When I was young, I was also a After a few years in the army, I haven’t seen the big officials, but I have seen a few of the Bai Zong, Qian Zong and even guerrillas. Compared with your martial arts, they are as good as the sky. The old man knows that you are doing it for us. But the old man has been useless all his life, and he doesn't want his two sons to be the same as the old man, so I bet you will have a great future, and I have two sons who will follow you in the future."

Li Jing got up and said solemnly: "Uncle, in the future, if I, Li Jing, eat everything, I will never let you and the two brothers go hungry. From now on, you will be my uncle, and Dahu and Erhu will be my brothers. "

"Old man, I can have a nephew like you because there is smoke from the ancestral grave." Old man Chen hurriedly pulled Li Jing, looked back at Dahu and said, "Dahu, kneel down for your brother, and I will listen to your brother in everything from now on." Yes, you have to do whatever he asks you to do!"

"Are you still my real father?" Du Hu muttered, but he still kowtowed to Li Jing honestly.

Old man Chen turned his head to look at Da Zhuang and the others and said, "There are still a few of you, if you want to have a peaceful life, the old man will give you all the money you have on your body, and you go home, if you don't want to go back, you will be just like a big tiger. You have to listen to him!"

"When I was leaving, my father and mother said that I should learn from Brother Li, and I will follow Brother Li from now on." After Zhuzi finished speaking, he knelt down for Li Jing and kowtowed three times: " Brother Li, you can teach me more in the future."

"And I!"

"me too!"

The four of them also knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

"Get up, you will hug each other like brothers in the future, understand?" Old Man Chen said.

"Yes!" Li Jing and the others responded in unison.

"Sit down! Tell me about your plan." Old Man Chen said.

Just as Li Jing was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of someone poking his head at the door, but it was Ma Wu. Li Jing waved his hand: "Brother Ma Wu, come in."

Ma Wu smiled and entered the room.

Li Jing asked Ma Wu to sit down and said, "Ma Wu brother, I will borrow Guibao to eat in the future!"

When Ma Wu heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said: "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, my brother wants to join the team, I will give you this position."

Li Jing smiled and said: "Give me this position, and all your brothers will have to listen to me in the future."

"Of course, all the brothers are terribly afraid of you now." Ma Wupei said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then you invite the brothers, and I'll say a few words to the brothers." Li Jing thought for a while.

The so-called doing my part, Li Jing would not be polite to these people, let alone be a minion on the mountain.

"Follow me!" Ma Wu said hastily.

Whenever bandits and bandits gather together, there seems to be something like a gathering hall, and Jinniuling is no exception.

It's just because the number of people in Jinniuling is too small, the Juyi Hall is a little bit shabby, but there is no problem in accommodating four or five people.

Li Jing was now brought to such a room by Ma Wu.

After a while, Ma Wu gathered all the active people on the mountain.Shen Zheng didn't know what happened on the mountain, so he also came to find out.

Li Jing and Ma Wu stood in the middle, while Du Hu and the others separated from each other.

Watching the bandits enter the house one by one, Li Jing shook his head secretly.

Some of these people had oily faces and wore silk and satin clothes, obviously reaping the benefits and living a good life.

Some of them were green-faced, wearing common clothes with a lot of patches, and some were even barefoot in the cold weather. These people obviously just joined the group not long ago.

"Brothers!" Ma Wu and the bandits said after entering the house! "Today we have a few new heroes in Jinniuling! You have already met last night, so I won't say much. Ma Wu is not talented, and he is willing to give up his position as the head of the family and call the brothers here, just to let everyone meet us The new boss."

As he spoke, Ma Wu pointed to Li Jing.

Li Jing clasped his fists and said: "I'm Li Jing, I'm new here, and I'm so ashamed to be loved by my fifth brother. I can't talk about being the head of the family. I am willing to share the blessings with my brothers and share the difficulties."

"Pay homage to the master!" Ma Wu shouted.

"Wait a minute! Brother Ma, this kid is going up the mountain for the first time, why should you let him be the head of the family?" One person said suddenly.

Li Jing took a cold look and saw a tall and strong man in the crowd separated from the crowd and came forward.

"Idiot Liu, what the hell are you doing? Don't you even listen to me?" Ma Wu shouted.

"Of course brothers listen to Fifth Brother's words, but I just don't agree with him what ability he has to take the position of head of the family." Liu Er yelled, poking his neck.

Seeing that Ma Wu wanted to say more, Li Jing waved to him, stepped forward and said, "How can you be convinced?"

"You only showed your archery skills last night. It's nothing. A horse can kill anyone. If you really have the skills, you can compete with me." Liu Er, the fool, shouted.

"How do you want to compete?" Li Jing smiled.

"If you can knock me down, I will obey you!" Liu Er yelled.

"Let me give you a hand, come on." Li Jing smiled.

Seeing Li Jing's relaxed look, Liu Er gave a tiger roar and punched Li Jing in the face.

Li Jing took half a step back, grabbed Liu Erlian's fist with his right hand like lightning, and moved back, his body turned sharply, and went straight into Liu Erlian's arms.

With his right arm slightly bent, an elbow hammer hit Liu Erlianzi hard in the ribs, knocking him out.

Li Jing's movements were extremely fast. It took less than two seconds from putting hands together to knocking Liu Erlian down. Everyone didn't even understand how Liu Erlian fell down.

Even Liu Er's fool himself didn't know what was going on.

"Are you okay?" Li Jing asked Liu Erlian, pulling him up. He controlled his strength just enough to hit Liu Erlian, but did not hurt him.

Liu Er rubbed his waist in a daze, straightened his back for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"Damn it! Are you ready now?" Ma Wu scolded.

"I'm convinced! I'm convinced!" Liu Er stunned his head, not daring to look at Li Jing, and walked back with his head down!
"Then why don't you pay homage to the head of the family?" Ma Wu shouted.

After finishing speaking, Ma Wu turned around and came to Li Jing, knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "See you!"

Seeing Ma Wu kneeling down, all the bandits quickly followed him to the ground, and shouted in unison: "See you!"

Du Hu, Da Zhuang and others stood behind Li Jing. Seeing the bandits kneeling down, they didn't dare to receive the gift behind Li Jing, so they also knelt down, imitating the bandits, and kowtowed a few times.

"Get up, brothers." Li Jing helped Ma Wu up.

When the bandits saw Ma Wu get up, they got up.

"Since all the brothers favored me to take this position, then I have to lead my brothers to live a good life. Brothers, do you want to live a good life?" Li Jing said loudly.

"Think!" All the bandits responded in unison.

"Yes! We all want to live a good life, but can you live a good life like you?" Li Jing suddenly said sharply: "You never plan for the future, you only think about being happy day by day."

"You, you, you, and you stand up!" Li Jing pointed to the bandits with injured legs and shouted: "Yesterday you held bows and arrows, but none of you shot through the window. What did you usually do? It was me that you met yesterday, I knew from your clothes that you also came from poor people, so I showed mercy, otherwise you would have met the king of Hades by now."

"Brother! It's my fault that I didn't train them, but I don't know how to train them either. We are all farmers, how could this happen?" Ma Wu said in a low voice.

Li Jing patted him on the shoulder lightly, indicating that he understood.

"Before you didn't know it because no one taught you, I don't blame it, but from today onwards, if you still want to live a good life, you have to train with me!" Li Jing shouted.

"Yes!" All the bandits responded in unison.

"Okay, let's leave first, everyone. When I go back, prepare all the weapons you can handle. The guns are rusted, and the knives are not fast. Grind them all out for me. Gather in front of the hall at [-]:[-] noon." Li Jing said.

Seeing the bandits scattered sparsely, Li Jing shook his head, wondering if he could train these gangsters well.However, it was a good start to suppress this gang of bandits today.
