Chapter 19 Dark Forest

"Shopkeeper, I followed you up and checked as you told me. The three of them lived in Chengdong Yuelai Inn. After returning from us, I took three boxes that were the same as the ones they loaded to the dock and took a boat to the dock!"

"Do you recognize that ship?"

"It's not like our Suzhou ship, we should have shipped when we came! But the ship is not big, it should be near Suzhou!"

"Well, it's not bad, I've read it very carefully. You can go down first and add a reward to you at the end of this month!"

Manager Xie turned around in the room: He only said that he was a Shandong scholar and fled south, so he asked his friend to get some scarce goods to make money to supplement his family's income! It is certain that he was cautious when dealing with him for the first time. If you don't believe me, you won't show your strength in the future! But the person you mentioned by the man is very important! Let the master come forward and ask if there are people from Shandong nearby, you will know!

Here, the shopkeeper Xie was busy writing letters to the master's house. Li Bin and the others were still floating on the water, but the wasteland in Pudong was already full of people!

"What are the people on the other side? What are the people doing in this wasteland?"

"I went to the other side to ask in the morning. It is said that a juren from Shandong bought the wasteland opposite and was planning to open up land here to build a village."

"A juren from Shandong? What is he doing here?"

"It was said to be from Teng County, Shandong, with the surname Li. The city was destroyed by the Tartars last year, and all the family members were lost. They just took two servants out alone!"

"It's a big deal! It's great that a juren who escaped can still have this family business!"

"Who knows, it's just a ignorant person from another place. It's not good to buy land in Nanzhili with this money! You might not know if you're washed by pirates one day!"

The two of them had a deep understanding and exchanged a meaningful look!

It turned out that the two people standing on the side of the river chatting were Peng Yongde, a thousand households under Nanhuizui, and a hundred households under him!

Thousands of households elsewhere rely on occupying the fields to drive military households to farm, and Peng Yongde's ancestors divided a good position near the sea.

Being close to the sea means salt, and the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. As long as you prepare some things, there is no shortage of people in your hands. Making salt can make money much faster than farming!

When doing salt business by the beach, you often have to deal with private salt dealers, and you may even have to meet pirates or something. All the things in Nanhui are not as corruption like the wards in other places.

Generally, military households are Peng Youde's target of crushing, and they cut reeds and boiled salt with him all year round. Among them, they picked two hundred strong and strong men and armed them every five days, and they looked decent!

On weekdays, I rely on these two hundred people to suppress private salt dealers and pirates who want to come to the nearby area to fight Qiufeng.

After staying alone in one place and doing whatever he wants for a long time, he will naturally lose his awe. He has done a lot of things to violate the law and discipline by these two hundred men. So he is very unfamiliar with this juren from Shandong!

What's wrong with Juren? You are a person from another place who is not honest and honest. You have made such a big scene and haven't come to say hello yet. Where can you get the courage?

After all, I knew that I was a martial artist and a literary man, so I didn’t dare to let someone come to visit me!

"From the future, pay attention to the movements on the other side, and report to me if you have any questions!"

After giving the instructions, Peng Yongde turned around and had a horse! Today we have to go to the salt-boiling venue to check it out!

It was getting dark and Li Bin and his group entered the house!

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Han came up: "Young master, I feel something is wrong!"

Li Bin's eyes shrank: "Where is wrong?"

"Someone may follow us to the dock in Suzhou!"

"I just felt something was wrong after entering Shanghai. When we came out in Suzhou, I always felt that people were following me. It was obvious that I didn't feel that way when I walked in Shanghai County!"

"It's okay, let's have a meal and rest first. Everyone is jealous of the business of making money! The Zhenbao Pavilion can open its branches all over the Ming Dynasty, and it's normal for them to start from scratch!"

Li Bin spoke easily, but still felt a little scared! He knew that one day he was mentally prepared! But he knew that it was one thing, and it was another thing that really happened to him!

Fortunately, the speed of message transmission in this era was extremely slow, so Chongzhen helped to cut off the only transmission channel. Information delivery and collection depends on his own people to run little by little. In this way, the other party wants to find out his background at least two months, and maybe half a year is possible.

Besides, he is basically in a sting-proof suit now. As long as he is not so dark that he is hit by a cannon, the other cold weapons and convex guns are basically helpless!

If you have confidence, you will naturally have confidence! If you are not afraid of death, come. There is a business faster than robbery in this world. Since you want to rob me, you will not blame me if you can rob me if you fail to rob me.

At this time, Guo Shaoan also came over: "I have seen you young master! Thank you for your kindness to save me. My wife has started to improve after taking the medicine for two days!"

"It's good to get better! By the way, if you have time at night, I'll tell you about my accounting methods. They are different from your previous methods. I'll teach you how to do it when you have time at night!"

"Yes, young master!"

After giving Guo Shao'an an accounting class to the evening, Li Bin returned to his room. Tuantuan now sleeps in his room every night! Li Bin takes care of himself! The motorcycle is placed next door, keeping the state of being able to run away at any time!

Li Bin is prepared for any trouble. If he can't stand it if he is attacked at night, he can run away with Tuan as fast as possible!

As long as the person runs out, whether to change the place and start over with anonymity, or take revenge, killing people so hard that they dare not attack him, it will be up to his will!

He and Zhang Geun-shuo also repeatedly explained that if there are thieves coming to the door, they will hide if they can, and run away if they can. Everything is mainly about safety!

As for Guo Shaoan and his gang entering the house, he still needs to observe it carefully!

The Ming Dynasty society is now a dark forest. The powerful and powerful gentry used power and money as hunting rifles; the pirates and pirates and military heads used force as hunting rifles, and everyone hunted in this forest.

When a strong man encounters a weak man, he swallows it in one mouthful. When the weak man is exposed to the strong man, he will die without a complete corpse!

Li Bin He Shang is not involved in this game! If you want to be safe, you can only become stronger quickly!

Well, this little guy doesn’t think about anything all day long, eats and sleeps all day long! As expected, ignorant people are the happiest!

"Is this donkey OK? Is it so thin and so small, why don't I just sit down as soon as I sit on it?"

Li Bin is here to pick up a mount in the cattle and horse market! There is no need to think about horses. The lack of horses in the south of the Ming Dynasty was so scarce, and it was not something that people like him could buy!

When the boss comes home, he always has to go to his construction site to check it out. He can’t ride a motorcycle casually. He took Wang Han and Long Changsheng to pick up donkeys early in the morning!

To be honest, Li Bin saw this thing twice when he was a child, but he really doesn't understand it.

Judging from his perspective, I don’t know if he is heavy, so I’m afraid that I will sit on it and press it down!

"Don't worry, my guy, I'm very careful in selecting the goods here. I'll walk like this for a long time without taking a break!"

I believe you! That's just this little body!

There is no way if you don’t believe it. You can’t walk over thirty or forty kilometers by yourself: “Forget it, Wang Han, you can pick six heads. I’m afraid that this thing will not be able to stand it. Change it on the road by one person or two heads!"

Six donkeys cost 90 taels. It’s okay, but when donkey gelatin was crazy in later generations, a donkey sold for more than 10,000!

Dadada rode the little donkey on the road, leaving at around 6 in the morning, and it was already ten o'clock when he arrived in Pudong.

The construction site is full of energy and people come and go!

It seems that the signature bank and the Implementation Bank issued have good results!

When Zhang Geun-soo was found, he was patrolling with two followers!

"How is it, are there any problems?"

"The young master paid so much money to them first. If they still have problems, they should be damned! They are working very hard!"

"Apart from these workmanship? Is there anyone nearby who came to inquire or harass me?"

"There are some inquiries. The opposite garrison sent someone to ask the day the construction started. There are no other ones yet!"

"What's the attitude in the ward?"

"I didn't say anything, so I asked, I haven't come here after that!"

"How is the progress?"

"It's faster than we expected. Now there are people everywhere who have no work to do. They are afraid of missing the construction period, so they have recruited more people!"

"Well, let them try to get as fast as possible and give them rewards at that time!"

While chatting and watching, when he walked to the dock, Old Sun was leading a group of people to level the ground. There was also a small boat by the river unloading materials.

"Master Sun, how about it? Is the contractor easy to do it?"

Old Man Sun understood what Li Bin meant by the contractor: "That is, Mr. Li Renyi, I paid 20% of the work to do it first. We would not dare to do it in other places!"

"Okay, as long as you are motivated, money is not a problem! Get some time, there are still a lot of work to do later, and you can't finish it this year!"

Lao Sun and the few craftsmen behind him smiled after hearing Li Bin's words: "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Bin waved his hand and turned around and asked Zhang Geunshuo: "How did they solve the problem when they sleep? Where are they eating?"

"There are reeds everywhere. Cut a little to lay the ground, then build a shed on it and you can sleep. The river goes westwards and is Songjiang Mansion. Lao Sun and others ask for their boats to be sent over every day, bringing the pots themselves, and cooking the reeds!"

"Is this OK?"

"Of course there is no problem. This is much more comfortable than giving labor to the government. There is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and I eat enough for three meals a day. This is what the young master specifically asked. It is okay to eat two meals a day and give me some wages as they said!

"This is not possible. Digging soil is a heavy physical work, and two meals are not enough! You should pay attention to it here and remember the best and worst foods given to workers!"

"I understand, my son!"

Li Bin walked to the bank of the river facing the garrison, took out his telescope from his backpack and looked over!

Looking at the soldiers in the ward station with neat armor and full of energy, he was a little confused!

Doesn’t it mean that the beggars in the garrison are not even as good as those in the garrison? How come this garrison is so excellent? This is a lot of pressure, and I don’t know how many such soldiers are.

Li Bin made a wishful thinking to bully the beggar army, but he never thought he would play with elite soldiers!

"Who knows how many soldiers the guards on the opposite side?"

"Young Master, I counted it yesterday, two hundred!"

Li Bin turned around and saw that the answer was Ma Fei: "Yes, you are very attentive! All the two hundred people are such neatly-armed servants?"

"Yes, the thousand households on the opposite side are really willing to support two hundred clans!"

"He is not willing to give up, but salt makes too much money. If he doesn't raise soldiers, he will raise thieves!"
