Chapter 206 Doing evil in secret

 More than ten years ago, Jiangcheng was originally just three major families.

The Hu family, the Yu family, and the Jiang family have thrived in Jiangcheng for generations, and the family's industries are all concentrated in various industries in Jiangcheng.

Plant trees, breed, open restaurants, open shops for business...

The three major families have become a tripartite force, restricting each other and competing for balance, but it doesn't matter.

Who would have thought that one day, a Mo family would appear, that boy Mo Yu.

Not long after he arrived in Jiangcheng, many restaurants, teahouses, and clothing stores popped up on the main street...

With the passage of time and the accumulation of capital, the Mohist family's assets began to stand side by side with the three major families.

The remaining three companies naturally have a sense of crisis.

Therefore, at the clothing exhibition held not long ago, Hu Tang worked hard, hoping to get the opportunity to donate cloth clothing to the capital.

Unexpectedly, in the competition, he lost to Mo Yu, and he lost miserably.

If it hadn't been for the news from the capital and the addition of candidates to the list, Hu Mansion's reputation would have been ruined this time and it would have been stagnant for a long time.

The most important industry of their Jiang family is the silkworm industry.

Luo Hong is right.

Moyu is actively developing the cotton industry. Once successful, there will be a lot of cotton near Jiangcheng. With cotton, there will be more choices.

Various cotton fabrics are bound to replace his silkworm fabrics, so his business may be threatened as never before.

Seeing Jiang Chengyun's silence, Luo Hong knew that his words had an effect, so he said, "Since you know the possible consequences of some things, why not prevent them in advance and end them in advance? Don't you think so?"

"You mean, you want me to destroy the seeds?" Jiang Chengyun asked back.

Luo Hong waved his hand, "Young Master, it's not me who gives in, but what do you want?"

Standing up casually, Luo Hong flicked his wide sleeves and said casually: "I want us to meet each other. I just got the news and I'm just letting you know in advance!"

Jiang Chengyun didn't think Luo Hong had such a good heart, "Master Luo tried his best to tell me, what do you want?"

"Speak clearly," Luo Hong turned around and looked at Jiang Chengyun, "I can't stand Mo Yu, let alone him walking around next to Lord Cao."

He was a soldier with a simple status, and he was married to the daughter of an academician of the Hanlin Academy. In the capital, he was always pointed at the back of his spine by others, mocking him as a soft-boiled son-in-law.

That kind of humiliation was simply unbearable for a tough-minded man.

Therefore, he came to Jiangcheng and was willing to be Cao Ran's deputy general and chief of bodyguards.

Cao Ran has guarded Jiangcheng for many years. He is the brother-in-law of the Marquis and is highly appreciated by the emperor.

He was working beside Cao Ran, so he naturally wanted to be valued by him, so that when he returned to the capital one day, he would not be looked down upon by others.

Who would have thought that since Cao Ran was injured in the woods last time, he would actually hang out with a merchant.

Not only does Mo Yu often come in and out of the General's Mansion, but he can also come and go at will in such an important place as the company's training camp.

But Luo Hong can’t go.

Even Xia Qianqian, a farm girl who walks beside Mo Yu, can put him in danger again and again.

Luo Hong decided not to accommodate him in the future.

After explaining to Jiang Chengyun, he rode back to Luofu. In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door.

The housekeeper opened the door, and the man ran straight to the backyard. Through the door of the wing, he called softly: "Sir, I have something important to report."

Luo Hong glanced at Luo Miao, who was sleeping beside him, got up, put on his clothes and opened the door.

The two came to the corridor.

The night was pitch dark, and the bamboos in the courtyard made a rustling sound when blown by a gust of breeze.

The man said, "Sir, Jiang Meng is dead."

"He and Zhang Dakui fought each other in prison, and Zhang Dakui strangled him to death with an iron chain. Zhang Dakui only had half his life left, and he may not live long."

Luo Hong was silent for a while and said coldly: "Spread the news of his death secretly..."

He lowered his voice and warned, and the man nodded repeatedly and turned around.

……

The next day, at dawn, a group of people gathered at the gate of Xia's house.

Led by the village chief Xu Jiang, they all waited early for Xia Qianqian to give orders.

In the weather in mid-May, there was a refreshing coolness in the air, and everyone lowered their heads and whispered.

Li Yunniang is hospitable.

On the row of pots and stoves in the courtyard, milky white and slightly yellow soy milk was boiling in a large pot. She invited the villagers to come into the yard and everyone drank a free bowl of soy milk.

A bowl of soybean milk with a strong taste can sweep away the sleepiness of last night and make people feel energetic.

Xia Qianqian spread out a piece of white paper on another desktop.

On the white paper, all the leased land is drawn.

Xia Qianqian divided the land into areas, drew the areas of responsibility one by one, pointed at each area, and asked the village chief to dispatch people to dry the land first.

The land in Fu'an Village is used to grow some commonly used crops throughout the year.

Wheat, jade flour, potatoes, peas...etc.

The land here is too barren. Planting these common and easy-to-live crop seedlings will easily reduce the yield, let alone such precious cotton.

Everyone has doubts in their minds, but since she prophetically pointed out the high tide of Fu'an River last time, everyone has made further speculations about her identity.

She is probably a messenger sent by the water god.

Now, seeing that she can rent land and is highly appreciated by Mr. Mo, he wants to start planting cotton in Fu'an Village, which makes him admire her from the bottom of his heart.

The land is leased by Xia Qianqian, and the seeds are hers. The villagers go to work and receive copper coins every day.

For them, whether these cotton seeds can successfully emerge and grow cotton does not threaten their interests, so there is no conflict.

After arranging the farm work in the field, Xu Jiang led a group of people and left in a hurry, getting to work in a hurry.

Xia Qianqian turned around, came to Uncle Wang who had been waiting for a long time, and took out another piece of paper from her sleeve.

This is the design drawing of a small shop.

The shop is not small, and she put a lot of thought into its structural design.

Some cabinets, tables, etc. need to be specially made, so I drew them all.

"Uncle Wang, take these drawings and help me find some carpenters to build some furniture and cabinets according to the designs on the drawings. The price is fine as long as it is not out of price. What I need is speed. I want to open as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

Uncle Wang took the drawing and looked at it a few times.

When he was young, he often worked part-time jobs.

He has done common tasks such as masonry, carpentry, blacksmithing, planting crops, etc., so when he got the drawing, his heart trembled even more.

Lifting his eyes and looking at the calm-looking girl in front of him, Uncle Wang couldn't help but sigh.

This girl will definitely not last long.

After being together for a long time, you will find that she is a treasure trove, and she actually knows more than him, an old man.

What is the reason? It is far from just a sentence. She learned it by herself.

Uncle Wang is a smart man. He listened to Xia Qianqian's instructions, put the drawing in his sleeve, turned around, got on the ox cart, and headed for Jiangcheng.

Everything was finally arranged.

Xia Qianqian took a break to drink a bowl of soy milk and eat a big bun, then she remembered why Geng Zhong and the others were not here for dinner today.
