"It's amazing." Xi Yazhou was eye-opening as he looked at the items being moved out of the mansion, "How come he has so many things?"
"The owner of the nest." Wu De answered his question briefly. Although Hainan is located at the heart of China's ocean trade, it has never been famous for its ocean trade. Instead, it is a place frequented by pirates who use it as a hunting ground and supply place.
And a place to hide stolen goods. Because the people here are poor, the population is sparse, and the administrative capabilities of the government are very weak. As the owner of the pirates' nest and the person who handles the stolen goods, it is normal for the Gou family to have so many things at home. Just look at the fact that the Gou family is beyond the ordinary.
The military equipment of the regiment training can be seen. There are six small cannons on the wall of the village, and more than 20 carrying guns. The number of various shotguns and fire blunderbuss is simply more than that of the Xiangyong servants. There are five pieces of black powder in the warehouse.
Six thousand kilograms, as well as a large number of arrows, swords, guns, and iron - it seems that he also has a business of buying and storing weapons and equipment for pirates.
"Normal people, except for super corrupt officials like He Shen, would store tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain at home." Wu De pointed to the porcelain being moved out of the warehouse and cleaned, "These should be from the sea.
It was stolen from a merchant's ship."
"No wonder he has everything here, just like Alibaba's cave." Xi Yazhou sighed, "Let's just talk about these porcelain and hardwood. How many RMB are they worth?"
"If you can't exchange it for RMB, you will make a fortune now." Wu De's unhappy mood has faded a lot at this time. After this victory, the Chuangzong team can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Lingao. With enough food,
Controlled the salt field. Everyone's combat effectiveness has also been verified. He knew very well from the beginning that without such a big eater, the time traveler would not be able to start smoothly. Even if this was the American continent that landed in the wilderness, it would not be possible.
You have to start by killing the Indians.
"That's right, Yanchang Village can provide more relief now. The people are very miserable. They are half hungry and half full. If they don't have enough food, their labor productivity will not increase. But Wang Gong has designed a new concentrated brine equipment.
, it should be able to improve a lot.”
"Gong Wang is really an all-rounder. With so much cloth, my production team can completely change their clothes. In the past, I always felt that there was not enough cloth, so I used it all. Now I can help them purchase underwear and outerwear."
, and two more can be replaced.”
"Will your production team members come back?"
"We have fought this battle. Not only will everyone come back, but we may even bring a lot of people here." Wu De's worries and unhappiness have been wiped away. He burst out laughing, laughing so heartily that it seemed like he had
Money means courage.
"Let's set up a clothing factory. Not only will we build a production team, but we will also build a new army in the future. We also need to replace our own clothes."
"There are women in your village. Can you mobilize them to do side business?"
"This is a good idea -" Xi Yazhou had just finished his words when he suddenly heard a commotion nearby. He saw Zhang Xingjiao dragging a stick and chasing and beating an old man who was in a state of embarrassment. He was wearing a silk shirt and quilt.
It was torn, covered in mud, and in a miserable state. Several time-travelling beings were pulling desperately, but they could not overpower this frail scholar.
Just as Xi Yazhou was about to stop him, Wu De shook his head: "Forget it, Zhang Xingjiao's family will be destroyed in the hands of the Gou family. This old man is probably not a good person."
"No wonder he had to come today." Xi Yazhou thought that he had no intention of asking him to come, but when he heard that he was going to Goujiazhuang, he had to come and couldn't stop him - it turned out that he was here to avenge himself.
This old man is a guest of the Gou family, and it was he who came up with the idea of occupying the Zhang family's cemetery. What is the "Feng Shui" saying? In any case, this "Feng Shui" is obviously seriously detrimental to the Gou family, and it is also not good for the Gou family.
He, the old man, received countless blows with sticks. If Zhang Xingjiao had not been weak and weak, his head would have been blown open long ago.
After a while of fussing, Zhang Xingjiao finally suppressed him, crying and laughing, seemingly crazy, wandering around the Gou family's house. Wu De was worried that he would get angry and burn the Gou family's house, which would cause a big trouble.
He quickly asked two people to follow him and arrest him.
Xi Yazhou visited the Gou family's house again, and went with Wu De to inspect various places, especially to inspect the situation of inspections. This Zhuangzi was so rich in supplies that if the inspections were messed up, it would be serious.
Dai Xie, who was sent by the Planning Commission, was responsible for all the inspection work. I don’t know if this is considered to be the expertise of this person who majored in computing and statistics. He was carrying a beloved saber bow, and he didn’t even get a chance to shoot an arrow today.
Now that he is fully manned, he is sitting behind his laptop, constantly processing the newly added data. There are also some helpers around, and they are all very busy.
After a preliminary inspection of the situation in the warehouse and the house, Dai Xie divided the inspection personnel into various groups. One group was dedicated to copying grain and cloth, one group was dedicated to copying money, and one group was dedicated to copying various valuables, including jewelry.
Antiques and ornaments, a group of people specializes in copying various goods. After taking out the things, they immediately register and pack them. These boxes were made by Bobu's woodwork factory for this "hunt" and are specially used to hold gold, silver, soft goods, and jewelry.
Copper coins, after being filled with silver, usually weigh about a hundred kilograms including the skin, which is convenient for loading, unloading and transportation. This thing is indeed useful. A large number of jewelry and other items are easy to scatter. Such centralized placement is reliable and safe, and it is also convenient for inspection.
, many of the copper coins in the warehouse are scattered, so it is more convenient to pack them directly into boxes.
For bulky and heavy goods such as porcelain and wood that cannot be shipped at the moment, only the numerical items are checked and are not shipped out of the warehouse. They are directly sealed and wait for transportation to be moved later.
The cleaning work also gradually moved into the soft things in the house. Compared with the huge amount of goods, the gold and silver money was not too much, only more than 3,000 taels of silver of various qualities and more than a hundred taels of gold. Various.
There were more than 4,000 copper coins with year marks. What was a bit surprising was that thousands of silver coins of different styles from various countries were also seized, with the largest number of Spanish silver coins minted in Manila, as well as some small gold coins. Countless gold and silver jewelry of various types were also seized.
Xi Yazhou knew very well that the consciousness of the people was not that high, so the villagers he brought were only responsible for carrying the items and were not allowed to take them privately. He sent people to supervise the entry and exit of the house. The place here is big, and there are many things to check. He even counted the porcelain in one warehouse.
It's enough to keep people busy for a while. When things get busy, a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable things will fall into private hands. Food will be thrown around randomly, and a lot of fragile things will be smashed - sometimes
People are just venting their desire to destroy, especially the villagers of Yanchang Village who are full of hatred for the Gou family. They don't like anything they see and want to take advantage of everything they see. When they first entered the village, someone tried to smash the village.
Several houses were smashed, and even the water tanks outside the houses were smashed. If Xi Yazhou hadn't asked Tan Chengqing to lead people to stop him, many people would have started a bloodbath in Goujiazhuang on the spot.
"If something like this happens again, behead him immediately!" Xi Yazhou said unceremoniously to Tan Chengqing, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. I tell you, no!"
"Everyone is so depressed. The Gou family has harmed us for so many years-"
"You are harmed by the Gou family, not the common people of the Gou family!" Xi Yazhou reprimanded, "They are also common people who are responsible for their duties. They are oppressed and driven by the Gou family, and their lives are only harder than yours. You are better off, the Gou family is stronger.
At that time, I didn’t even dare to fart, and now that the Gou family is finished, I want to be a hero to the poor people!"
Tan Chengqing blushed and quickly promised that he would restrain the villagers. Xi Yazhou softened his expression and said, "The village chief and several elders in the village have been rescued. You should take good care of the elderly first - they all ate a lot.
bitter."
In the busy time, it was already noon in the blink of an eye, and the rubble and corpses were almost cleared. Reports from various places also came out. The total casualties of the time-travelers were nineteen people, except for the one who fell and was injured.
Serious. In the end, nearly half of the more than 200 men, women, and children who gathered in the mansion died. Many women committed suicide. There were no less than 20 or 30 people who jumped over the village wall to escape, but most of them fell to snipers along the way.
Among them, only three or four people escaped. In addition, almost no one of the more than 200 heroic servants from the countryside survived. Most were killed and a few were captured alive.
The most critical thing, the two Gou brothers did not notice. A servant confessed that after Gou Xunli was attacked on the road that day, he went to the manor to talk with the owner of the manor for a night and left early the next morning. But there was no one where Gou Xunyi was.
You know, the bodies have been identified one by one, and none of them are him. However, the whereabouts of most of his wives, concubines, and children have been found. Some were killed or committed suicide, and some were caught. In addition, many Gou family members were arrested.
Wu De has not yet thought about how to deal with the family members and Qingke. This may have to be decided by the executive committee.
Although the two main family heads were not caught, Wu De and Xi Yazhou didn't take it to heart - they were vulnerable when they were rich and powerful, not to mention that they are now destitute.
Order was stable. Wu De called Zhang Xingjiao to come forward and called out several important figures in the village. They then went to beat the gongs to notify each household to gather in front of Gou's house for a meeting. The meeting was held firstly to calm the people and secondly for the sake of peace.
Check for any missing fish or other clues of hidden property.
To put it bluntly, this is preparation for a struggle meeting. It is a tried and tested method in the history of our party to mobilize the masses to make revolution. Because Zhang Xingjiao is from the village, they know the details of each family. He made a list, who is Gou?
Who is the loser in the family, who is the eldest son, who is the eldest son, who is the carpenter, who is the blacksmith, who is the carpenter... and so on, all can be explained clearly. Of course, there are also personal grudges among them. For example, he once scolded him that he "deserves to starve to death"
Someone on the list becomes the Gou family's lackey.
