Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 289

During the conversation between Gao Jingzong and Xie Daoyun, Fan Yong's subordinates surrounded him. This group of subordinates in green clothes and short shirts had been drinking in the lower courtyard before. When they heard the news that Fan Yong had been beaten, they swarmed come over.

In fact, with Fan Yong's identity and status, it's the same whether he has followers or not.As the well-known little overlord in Jiankang City, ordinary people can't afford to provoke him at all.As for those who can provoke Fan Yong, these subordinates dare not do anything.The leader of Fan Yong's retinue was seven points drunk at first, but seeing Fan Yong being beaten to the point of losing his shape, he was already eight points awake at the moment.

Looking at the subordinates behind him who were ready to move, and Gao Jingzong's confident appearance, he immediately shouted at the old bustard in a cold voice: "Who has the guts of a bear? Dare to beat up my son?"

The old bustard was sweating profusely and said: "This is His Royal Highness King Xia, the governor of the Beifu Army. His Highness King Xia and Mr. Fan did not know each other. The two nobles just collided occasionally, so don't hurt your friendship with your hands."

The head of Fan Yong's retinue had a cloudy face, but Hongxiu Tianxiang made a "choke" and drew out his sword. The bright steel sword cast a cold light on the hall.

When the old bustard saw this situation, she was frightened out of her wits and was about to step forward to stop the two sides from fighting each other, but saw that the leader of the retinue moved faster.The leader of the retinue suddenly knelt in front of Gao Jingzong, with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the governor Gao Dadu was in person, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It is really lucky to see you today!"

Gao Jingzong was taken aback, he really wanted to ask: "Which side are you on?" But the leader shouted at the other followers: "What are you doing? How can you be rude to the high governor?"

After the boss finished speaking, he directed other subordinates to lift Fan Yong up. The boss checked Fan Yong's injuries, and he was relieved when he found that there was nothing serious.Fortunately, it was only a skin injury.If Fan Yong is disabled or dead, even if he doesn't want to offend Gao Jingzong, he can only offend him.The leader bowed to Gao Jingzong and said, "Excuse me, Commander Gao. My son was drunk and accidentally ran into the tiger driving the governor. I hope that the governor will not be as knowledgeable as my son. Please ignore the villain's mistakes..."

However, Gao Jingzong also knew that he would not hit the smiling person with his hand. If he continued to pester him like this, it would be too obvious.He had no choice but to excuse himself from the stage: "Okay, let's forget about it..."

"Thank you, Lord Commander, for ignoring the faults of villains..."

……

Just after Fan Yong's master and servant left, Gao Jingzong and Xie Daoyun sat idle for a while, and suddenly a mellow female voice sounded: "Thank you, Governor Gao..."

With a flick of the bead curtain, a young girl flashed in.At this time, Gao Jingzong was able to glimpse her face, at a glance, this woman was born soft and charming, delicate and charming, she was indeed a rare beauty.When she entered the room, her full eyes turned slightly, her flirtatious charm made even Xie Daoyun feel refreshed.

"You're welcome, girl, it's just a matter of raising your hands!" Gao Jingzong stared blankly at this Liu Yanyan, suddenly felt a sudden pain in the soft flesh around his waist, and looked sideways at Xie Daoyun gnashing his teeth.

Gao Jingzong's face twitched from the pain, he quickly closed his eyes, and Xie Daoyun let go of his hand.

Liu Yanyan has read countless people, and it is easy to see that Xie Daoyun is a daughter.However, she didn't point it out rashly, and sat down slowly: "Does Governor Gao want to come to listen to the music today, or to listen to the piano?"

"I'm neither here to listen to music nor to listen to the piano!" Gao Jingzong showed a mysterious smile on his face, leaned slightly and said, "Hehe, Miss Liu, Gao is here, as long as you promise Gao a certain thing, Gao will help you." The girl became the queen of the world..."

Liu Yanyan's heart suddenly sank from her joy, and when she looked at Gao Jingzong again, the mysterious smile on his face seemed to have a hint of obscenity.So what does he want?He is courteous for nothing, rapes or steals, and he is a daughter's family, what is there for him to make up his mind?What he drew turned out to be the same as Fan Yong's.

It's no wonder that Liu Yanyan thinks too much, in fact, she has three greatest abilities, piano, music, and of course her own beauty.As a person in this circle, it is her bottom line to be a performer but not to sell herself.Unless it is absolutely necessary, he doesn't care about his innocence. Once he lowers his self-worth, he will be like a common prostitute in the future.

Is Gao Jingzong the same as Fan Yong, a disciple?Men, why are they all like this?A trace of sadness flashed in Liu Yanyan's heart, and she forced herself to laugh: "I don't know... what did the governor ask Yanyan to promise?"

Gao Jingzong looked at Xie Daoyun, and Xie Daoyun understood, so he took out a piece of paper full of words and handed it to Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan looked at the words on it seriously, and was suddenly very surprised.This is an agreement for the purchase of "Miaoyin Pavilion", and the purchase amount is left blank, obviously the price is negotiable.Looking at this agreement, Liu Yanyan was both enlightened and even more confused.She looked at Gao Jingzong with a questioning look: "Could it be that the governor... wants to..."

Gao Jingzong smiled lightly: "Yes, you guessed it when you think about it. Gao will live in Jiankang in the future. Living in Jiankang is not easy, and Gao also wants to buy a property. However, it is not easy to buy land outside Jiankang City. I don't like to take care of farming, so I want to buy Miaoyin Pavilion and manage it. Gao has some fantastic ideas in his mind. If they can be realized one by one, I am sure that people will be able to live in Jianjian City as soon as they come. Whether it's drinking, singing and dancing, Guanpu, Zaju, catering, entertainment, bathing, etc., you have to think of this, at that time, is the girl afraid that she will not be able to secure the position of the world's best oiran?"

Before Liu Yanyan opened her mouth, the old bustard on the side wailed: "Governor Gao, please take pity on the poor little man. There is an 80-year-old mother on the little man, and a child under the age of [-]. The whole family can count on this Miaoyin Pavilion for dinner." what.……"

Gao Jingzong ignored the bustard.Liu Yanyan showed a look of hesitation, but stared at Gao Jingzong in a daze: "Although the governor's idea is clever, I'm afraid..."

Liu Yanyan didn't say what she said later, and what she said might hurt someone a little bit.There are three bosses in Miaoyinfang, one is the Lu family of Wu County, the second is the Gu family of Wu County, and the third is Liu Yanyan's own stock.To say that Liu Yanyan's body shares are actually a symbolic share, and the biggest ones are Gu's and Lu's.

As the four great clans in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strength of Wu Jun Gu's and Wu Jun's Lu's might be a little weaker than Langya Wang's.As native Jiang Zuo people, Gu and Lu's connections and strength are beyond people's imagination.Although Gao Jingzong's status is prominent, if he wants to "buy" Miaoyin Pavilion from Gu Lu Ershi, it is undoubtedly a dream.

"Gao knows that this matter is a bit fanciful in the eyes of the girl!" Gao Jingzong paused and said: "Facts speak louder than words, girl, just wait and see."

Liu Yanyan smiled sweetly: "If you really can do it, Yanyan is willing to let you be driven by you from now on."

Gao Jingzong: "Hehe, that's good. Although I'm not afraid of the girl's repentance, but... Empty words are useless, so please use words as proof, so as not to hurt our friendship in the future."

Gao Jingzong immediately proposed to sign the contract, which was written by Xie Daoyun. After Gao Jingzong's acquisition of Miaoyin Pavilion, he discussed carefully for a long time how to cooperate with Liu Yanyan, how to share and other specific matters, and wrote a contract in duplicate. Put it in your arms.

Gao Jingzong did not plan to set up a business in Jiankang City, because no matter how hard he worked in this era, Chu Suanzi or the Eastern Jin Dynasty could make Gao Jingzong's efforts in vain with a single word.Gao Jingzong chose the entertainment industry.Its purpose is threefold,

First, being an entertainment tycoon in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, well-known in the business world, with a high reputation, this is an excellent protective layer, and you can get real and huge benefits.

Secondly, as Gao Jingzong's embarrassing status, doing business itself is an excellent layer of protection. Who would believe that a philistine businessman who spends all day in luxury clothes and spends time in the beauties' den has ambitions for the world?

The third is to build an intelligence channel.In later generations, erotic entertainment venues have always been an important source of information.Gao Jingzong had neither eyes and ears nor real allies in Jiankang City. Gao Jingzong needed a platform to find contacts between friends and court officials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie Daoyun suggested to Gao Jingzong that the way for the first-class prostitutes to make money is to communicate with the public, dignitaries, dignitaries, gentry, and celebrities, and build bridges for them to cooperate vertically and horizontally and cooperate secretly.With entertainment venues as the link, Gao Jingzong can be well-informed, and there is no news from the court or the market that can be hidden from him.

And you can build a wide network and a huge base without knowing it.Xie Daoyun's strategy for Gao Jingzong is: "Use both straight and straight, round the outside and square inside, in order to protect yourself."

Gao Jingzong's character is like a tenacious grass, no matter what kind of environment he is given, he will try his best to survive and survive.He is like a river, following the trend, but no matter where it flows, it will always surge out a bunch of waves that belong to him, and live out the splendor of his life.

After finalizing the cooperation intention with Liu Yanyan, Gao Jingzong handed over the matter to Xie Daoyun for operation.

At the same time, Gao Jingzong turned to the outside of the city, the [-] Qing fields sent by the Wang family of Langya.After a preliminary investigation, it was found that among the [-] plots of land, there were about [-] plots of upper fields and more than [-] plots of middle and lower fields, which were cultivated by more than [-] tenants.

The property is located in Mufu Mountain in Jiankang.It is said that when Emperor Jin and Yuan crossed the river, Dao Wang set up a shogunate (staff department) here, hence the name.Also known as Mofu Mountain.Because the mountain is rocky, it was once called Shihui Mountain and Baishi Mountain in ancient times.

The land that Wang Huizhi gave to Gao Jingzong was close to Shogunate Mountain. If Wang Huizhi's purpose was pure, Gao Jingzong would not believe it.Since the time of Emperor Sima Rui of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Mufu Mountain has always been a military important place in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is a strategic place to station troops to defend the Yangtze River.To give such a property to Gao Jingzong, if it is said that his purpose is pure, it is a lie.

According to the usual practice, Gao Jingzong inspected his own property as the master.

Before arriving at Mufu Mountain, Gao Jingzong saw Shen Qi leading an old man in rough clothes with white beard and hair over.When he got close, Shen Qi said: "Your Highness, Lizheng of Shogun Mountain here, I want to meet His Highness!"

The rough-clothed old man hurriedly made a big salute: "The little old man has met His Highness King Xia, and greeted His Highness King Xia!"

Gao Jingzong looked at an old man who could be his grandfather kneeling in front of him, stepped forward to help the old man up and said: "Please hurry up, old man... please hurry up, you can't be such a big gift!"

"I can afford it, I can afford it. If Your Highness can afford it, who in this world can afford it?" The old man said, "I have lived for a year, and I fled here with my relatives 50 years ago. I dream of going home." Ah...it's all right now..."

Gao Jingzong sighed secretly, it seems that this old man and the nearby tenants are a group of poor people.

Shen Qi interjected at the right time: "Just now Guanshi Wang has done the delivery, and Wang Lizheng heard that the new master's family is His Highness, so he wanted to come and see him."

"Don't come to see me. This is because our ancestors accumulated virtues and sent His Highness to Mount Mushan. The prince is a man of great virtue. He will definitely make us richer and better every day."

"The old man's words are serious!"

This old man is pretty good at talking, and he can't stop talking.

Gao Jingzong lived at the bottom in later generations, and he was very familiar with poor people like Wang Lizheng.If you want to say that the peasants are simple or ignorant, you must be someone who does not understand the peasants.Farmers have both the bold and simple side of farmers, and the cunning of farmers.For example, Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", in fact, he is a typical peasant-style "cunning", and it can also be said to be the wisdom of peasants.

As Gao Jingzong's two generations, he naturally knew what farmers were most concerned about.They don't mind changing a few new owners. What they care about most is the land rent, which is their most important issue.

Before Wang Lizheng could open his mouth to ask, Gao Jingzong tried to ask: "Old man, how many people are there in our Momo Mountain? As the new year is approaching, is there any food for the family? Can we have a good year?"

Wang Lizheng was embarrassed, he hesitated for a long time, he wanted to say something but dared not say it, it was really depressing.

A group of people walked forward slowly, unknowingly walking in the village.This village is slightly different from the rural areas of later generations. To be precise, this village is also like a small city in a remote area.Surrounded by ditches, there are also suspension bridges and human-high earth walls, just like a small town.

The difference is that the wall here is too thin, and it looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time.However, the people in the village did not relax completely about the safety precautions. The whole village is located in a stone valley next to Mushan Mountain, and there are also simple arrow towers and watchtowers.

Entering the village not only made Gao Jingzong feel a sore nose.

There is not a single decent house in the whole village, all are mud adobe thatched huts that are not more than one person tall, and it is lunch time, but it is rare for people to smoke.

Gao Jingzong was even more surprised why there were not many children in the village. It is said that if Gao Jingzong came as the new owner, they should be greeted by all the men, women and children in the village, so that they looked familiar.

Gao Jingzong asked: "There are not only so many people in the village!"

Looking at the scattered two or three hundred people, Gao Jingzong really couldn't figure out that the entire village of more than 300 households was just these people.

Wang Lizheng hesitated for a long time before choking out a word: "No clothes to wear!"

Gao Jingzong randomly pushed away a family with only two adobe houses. The two adobe houses looked old, and the cracked earth walls could fit a fist in. Zhang Yukuan, a quilt of almost no color, revealing five heads of men and women, big and small.

Cotton has not yet been popularized. In this era, rich people use furs as quilts to keep out the cold, while the poor cannot afford furs, but the poor have their own solutions.It is to use straw in the linen to act as a quilt.

Gao Jingzong didn't say a word, and checked a few more families one after another, and the situation was almost the same.A half-grown kid with a bare buttocks.Girls aged thirteen or fourteen were only wearing small clothes and dared not leave the house at all.

Wang Lizheng looked at Gao Jingzong's unkind expression, and asked timidly: "I... want to ask the old and the young in the village how the new owner's house will charge the rent!"

Gao Jingzong asked: "How did you collect it before?"

Wang Lizheng had a bitter expression on his face: "The old master has a good heart, four out of ten!"

"40.00%!" Gao Jingzong almost vomited blood: "Nimma, is this a good idea? Huang Shiren is not so black!"
