Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 244 God of Calamity
"Big, don't blame the handsome man, this is me, old man, cough cough cough..."

He was so shocked that his face turned pale. That Ji squire waved his hands and wanted to explain, but who knew it was another series of violent coughs, and blood was spraying out, so he hurriedly hid aside, Song Qingshu waved his hands in a panic: "Stop talking, get sick It's important, come quickly, pass on to the doctor!"

…………

After such an incident happened, the thank you meeting would naturally not be able to go on, but it was hard to win the hearts of the people, and it was rare to stage a show of loving the people like a son. The best doctor Liang from the Drum Tower was invited from Dai County for diagnosis and treatment. Song Qingshu led A large group of squires waited beside him, and after a long while, Dr. Liang shook his head and got his pulse, picked up a pen and prescribed a prescription, and just now he smiled and clasped his fists under the nervous gaze of everyone.

"Song Shuai, don't worry, members of the staff. Ji Yuanwai is just suffering from a sudden change in the weather. He has contracted a strong wind and cold. Go back and pay attention to warming up. Then take the medicine according to the prescription. After taking a few days, you will be fine."

"It's so good, it's so good! Come here, take 20 taels of silver, and thank God Doctor Zhang!"

"Oh, how dare you dare!"

Sending off the genius doctor who took the money and happily left, there were still a lot of staff members, and then sent someone to send the unlucky quarter staff back. Song Qingshu was relieved, and then returned to the barracks, looking at the Shuan Mashi full of black blood, Feeling bad luck again, he waved his hand quickly.

"Come on, clean this thing up!"

The first few soldiers rushed to get water and rags. For the time being, the thieves and frontier soldiers would not make any new moves in a short time. Song Qingshu, who was in a good mood, simply continued to watch the soldiers under his command move the food into the newly built warehouse, but While moving, Song Qingshu's face suddenly changed and he yelled.

"stop!"

"Marshal!" A few begging saber players who resisted the soldiers hurriedly put down their grain bags and kowtowed, ignoring them, Song Qingshu kicked the grain bags on the ground straight, a big ball of black blood was shocking appears below the grain bag.

The grain transportation came to a complete stop, and the whole cart of grain was thrown aside. Under the cart, the little soldier who resisted the grain easily jumped down with a large mass of rotten meat.

"Marshal, it's a nest of rats. They probably settled down in the granary outside the season member. They didn't run away when they moved the grain, and they were all crushed to death!"

Song Qingshu was disgusted by the bloody rat, and quickly waved his hand: "Hurry up and take it away! Throw it away!"

Looking back, Song Qingshu pointed to those food bags and shouted: "These few bags are stained with blood, and the ones that have been eaten by mice, pick them all out and throw them away!"

"Boss, handsome, this is high-quality wheat, what a pity to throw it away?"

"If you tell you to throw it away, you will throw it away!"

After such an incident happened, Song Qingshu was still concerned, and tossed through all the food that had been moved, and once again picked out twelve or three bags of food that had been bitten by mice, and watched the thirty or so beggars. Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief as the living saber carried the light soldier out of the barracks.

At this moment, Sun Chuanting found him again.

"Commander, there is a letter from the Hutong Zhi of Xinzhou Prefecture. The former county magistrate of Yuanping County died of a sudden illness. The court sent a new county magistrate. Unlike our county magistrate, who was still at the capital's appreciation banquet. It is said that he is already galloping fast. I rushed over, it seems that I am not a master who pays too much."

"We should be more careful!"

Listen, Song Qingshu snorted disdainfully: "County magistrates in the world are generally greedy. After all, they are our neighbors. We will ask Zhang Hao to prepare 500 taels of silver and some gifts. When he takes office, just say hello. Anyway, now that we have won the hearts of the people, we are not active in Yuanping County, and we are not afraid of him!"

"Yes, handsome!"

After agreeing, Sun Chuanting turned his head to continue his work with his ice face again, but Song Qingshu suddenly grabbed him again.

"There is one more thing, Mr. Boya, you can do it right away. Just after the autumn harvest, I immediately ordered people to inspect the warehouses. It is necessary to eliminate the rats. The rats near the granary must be killed! Keep more cats, and there are still rats that have been eaten by rats." The food is thrown away!"

"Is this too wasteful?"

It's not that he eats by himself, but Sun Chuanting still thinks like a scholar-bureaucrat, but he shook his head heavily when he listened to Song Qingshu.

"The army of beggars is the weapon for you and me to realize our ideals. We must protect them like protecting our eyes! Health matters must not be sloppy! We must do it!"

Seeing that Song Qingshu was on the line, Sun Chuanting finally became serious and agreed.

As soon as Sun Chuanting was sent away, Shi Tianfu came to the city again, saying that Cao Sanxi and the others had returned from Taiyuan, and they had some new business opportunities. .

There are more than 4000 beggars stationed on the edge of the city, and more than 4 captives are being guarded. The camp is built in a wasteland in the south of Dai County. Song Qingshu's horses have just come out at this end, and at the other end, a few thrown The food soldiers also came back, more than 30 people looked at Song Qingshu's leaving back with a guilty conscience, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and patted the bulging bag in his waist...

…………

Regardless of the chaos, the commercial circulation was super developed at the end of Ming Dynasty, and the customs were closed with heavy snow in winter. Xinding has not seen snowflakes yet, and Datong has already been covered with goose feathers. However, merchants do not have the autumn harvest and winter storage of farmers. , there are tens of thousands of leather jackets in his hand, Cao Sanxi and Zhang Shiding hurried back and forth to Taiyuan again.

The reason why Shanxi merchants are successful is because they broke through geographical restrictions, cooperated with local merchants from all over the country, and opened up the earliest prototype of the company. They are similar to the form of first-level suppliers. They talked about several cloth villages in Taiyuan, but the details Who to cooperate with has to be decided by Song Qingshu, the major shareholder.

Several big merchants in Taiyuan are also like Shi Tianfu and Zhao Yuanwai back then, each with their own gods behind them, and one of them is said to be the eldest cousin who is the chief eunuch next to King Jin. After thinking about this for a few days, plus Xiaoluo and the others I went to Puzhou to help Qiu Ming marry Miss Zhang and came back. I had to put my heart and soul into helping Qiu Ming decorate his new house. In a blink of an eye, three or four days passed.

On this day, sitting in the carriage, Song Qingshu personally checked and approved the income reported by Shi Tianfu. On the other side, Li Gu'er was also sitting opposite to write and draw. Rich, a set of snow-white fox fur coat not only does not look bloated, but reveals a lazy and leisurely atmosphere.

After a while, it seemed that the design of a new set of clothes had been completed. Li Gu'er excitedly lifted up the drawings, and Song Qingshu raised his head with a smile, but before Li Gu'er could speak, the carriage suddenly After listening to the creak, Li Bao'er screamed in shock, and threw himself into Song Qingshu's arms.

The groom was still yelling at the horses outside, Song Qingshu helped Li Gu'er sit back in a little annoyance, pushed the carriage away and jumped out, Zhou Yuji had already checked and came back in a hurry.

"Marshal, it's Doctor Zhang from Gulou, who suddenly vomited blood and fell down in front of our car for some reason."

"Doctor Zhang?"

After hesitating for a while, Song Qingshu remembered that the doctor who saw Fatty Ji two days ago was said to be a famous doctor on behalf of the county. Since he was familiar with him, it was not easy to blame him, so Song Qingshu simply went forward to investigate.

A few young apprentices felt the pulse in a panic and helped, the kerchief on the miracle doctor's head fell off, he coughed violently and there was a large pool of black blood on the ground, seeing all this from a long distance, Song Qingshu suddenly trembled violently, froze in place for a few seconds, and then hurriedly walked towards the carriage.

"Officer, what's wrong?"

Li Bao'er also jumped out of the car, and walked towards here with her skirt in hand, Song Qingshu panicked and stretched out his hand again: "Stop and don't come back?"

"Official?" Thinking that he had done something wrong, Li Bao'er jumped up and lowered his head timidly.

"I'll explain the matter to you when I go back, Bao'er, listen to me, you go back immediately to pick up Caiwei, go back to the cottage, and then sprinkle the car and the whole house with lime, and clean it immediately when you go back, take care of the whole family , you must not eat unclean food, and you have to boil the water before drinking! Go now!"

After all, she was also the woman of the general of the Peasant Army. Seeing what Song Qingshu said anxiously, she knew that something terrible had happened. Li Gu'er nodded obediently, turned around and went back to the car.

Watching the carriage rush out, Zhou Yuji cupped his fists at Song Qingshu in some astonishment: "Marshal, are you still going to shopkeeper Shi?"

"Let Shi Tianfu prepare a large amount of Coptis chinensis immediately! Uh..."

After thinking for a while, Song Qingshu gritted his teeth and said, "Also ask him to prepare a batch of moldy noodles and steamed buns for me. If he doesn't have them, he will forcefully release the moldy ones! Send someone to deliver the message immediately!"

"Come on, prepare your horse! This commander is going to Jijiazhuang in the east of the city!"
