Now Wu Shigong is very interested in all ways to make money. So Wu Shigong immediately asked with shining eyes: "Tell me about it?"
"Uncle, didn't you give a brothel to Mrs. Ling's mother this time? When I was young, I thought that there must be some room for us in this brothel. Moreover, when my uncle was in the capital, the gambling shop was also doing well. Now
If we open some gambling houses or something like that, we will be familiar with the people."
"The most important thing is that this thing makes money really quickly. If you agree, if you need manpower, our Shanchuan Division's business has it ready. If you need money, our Shanchuan Division can also squeeze out some. I'm so grateful.
It’s not bad, I just need to split it 50-50, and the rest will belong to you.”
This time Wu Shigong brought Man Ling and her madam back to Runing Mansion. After taking Man Ling's house, he did not treat the old madam badly and gave the old madam a sum of money as Man Ling's ransom fee.
But I don’t know what the old madam was thinking. Maybe she needed Wu Shigong’s protection. She took this money, plus the money she asked someone to sell her in a brothel in Guide Mansion. In Ru
Ning Mansion bought a small building and several girls, and resumed his old business in Runing Mansion. In the process, Wu Shigong also told Xue Zhinong to go to the old madam to help out.
Not to mention, since the Madam was able to bring out Man Ling as an courtesan in the past, she must be a professional in the brothel business, so her newly opened brothel is also doing a very prosperous business. And all this is because of Xue Zhinong
In his eyes, he had his current thoughts.
But when Wu Shigong heard that Xue Zhinong had this idea, he immediately shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is absolutely not possible. You have to know that I am just laying the foundation for the future. I mainly do two things: use force;
Captivating.”
"So everything I do now must be fair and aboveboard, and I must not touch the kind of side business. Otherwise, how can those literati and gentlemen be willing to be with us."
"Although your Shanchuan Division has more opportunities to deal with three religions and nine schools, you are still my subordinates no matter what. If you get involved in this kind of business, if someone with a heart knows about it, the impact on our foundation will be far greater.
For the money obtained.”
"But uncle, if I have to say something unpleasant, until now, you have not had any literati to seek refuge with you! Besides, what use are literati in troubled times? At that time, you will not have to rely on the swords and guns in the hands of us warriors.
!Isn’t what you are doing now a little too worrying?” After hearing that his idea was rejected by Wu Shigong, Xue Zhinong was also a little anxious, so what he said was a little irritable.
"If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Needless to say, this issue is completely non-negotiable. However, you can also use some flexible methods to take advantage of those elements who are making side business. That will never work, but
Charging them some protection fees for depending on us is still negotiable."
"Remember, don't charge too much for those protection fees, just give it a thought. The main purpose is that your Shanchuan Division should arrange manpower to those places. There are many people in the mountains and rivers there, and they are well-informed. For
Your Shanchuan Division is very useful in inquiring about information."
Cao Wenzhao slapped the dust on his armor vigorously, and his throat felt a little dry. From the black land of Liaodong to the yellow Shaanxi, Cao Wenzhao always felt a little uncomfortable.
So when he finished patting his armor and saw the condition of his soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. So he ordered the soldiers around him: "Go and gather up those little bastards. This elephant
Does it look like a fight? If the rioters come back and attack us, we will all be left with nothing to eat."
Just now, Cao Wenzhao led the more than 3,000 Guanning cavalry he brought from Liaodong to catch up with a group of tens of thousands of Shaanxi rebels. But as soon as they saw Cao Wenzhao's flag, the rebels fled in all directions
, but how can a man run faster than a horse? Cao Wenzhao led his soldiers to kill without hesitation.
However, those rebels were already very experienced in dealing with Cao Wenzhao's officers and soldiers. They immediately threw away a large amount of gold, silver, cloth and women they had snatched from wealthy households. This action took effect immediately, causing Cao Wenzhao's soldiers to immediately
The formation was disrupted, and the soldiers robbed the gold, silver, cloth and women one after another. Therefore, most of the rebels fled.
However, Cao Wenzhao's order did not receive a response from his soldiers. The captain of Cao Wenzhao's soldiers was his brother. He said to Cao Wenzhao with a playful smile: "Brothers have arrived in Shaanxi, a place where birds can't shit.
, we have been working hard for so long, it’s time for the brothers to make some money. Later, the younger one will come down below to take care of me. Third brother, your share is indispensable."
"I've told you so many times, don't call me Third Brother, call me General Cao or Master Cao." Cao Wenzhao glared at the captain of the personal army, "Everyone has some potential, okay? Just pick some.
Damn, let those bandit leaders escape every time. If this continues, we will go back to our hometown in Liaodong in the Year of the Monkey! I don’t want to stop the brothers from getting rich, but it’s better to chop off more heads of the gangsters in exchange for some silver rewards.
Okay?"
"Come on, third brother!" The captain of the soldiers and Cao Wenzhao were not used to each other, and they did not take Cao Wenzhao's order to call Cao Wenzhao to heart. However, Cao Wenzhao also always
He took the lead and loved his soldiers very much, so these soldiers always regarded Cao Wenzhao as their elder brother and were willing to sacrifice their lives for Cao Wenzhao.
"Don't mention those silver rewards. We have chopped off the heads of so many rioters, but until now, we have never smelled the fishy smell of those silver rewards. We were stupid before, we only knew how to kill rioters, not
You know how to steal money and silk. Third brother, you don’t know. Last time, after I had a drink with the captain of the personal soldiers of Madman He (He Renlong), I found out that Madman He had made a fortune for the boss! They told me
, just waiting for the rioters to rob the big households. After the rioters rob, they will drive the rioters away. After the rioters throw away their money and silk, they will cut off a few heads to explain, and then wait for the rioters to rob the big households. They
Tell the little one, this is called slow water and long flow."
"Stop talking nonsense." Cao Wenzhao immediately stopped the captain of the personal soldiers from foaming at the mouth, "Okay! Okay! Give you bunch of bastards one more hour. You all go down, this army is gone."
It's so noisy and out of shape, you go and tighten it up, you also need to put some spies around the perimeter."
Seeing Cao Wenzhao agreeing, the soldiers all smiled and agreed, and then they all rode away and gathered their troops.
After the soldiers dispersed, Cao Wenzhao thought to himself: "This man's life is to be promoted and make a fortune. I am already a general soldier, and my official position will not be promoted much. It would be good to have a way to make a fortune."
Besides, the brothers bleed and sweat along with themselves, and they can only keep their eyes open if they gain a little on the battlefield."
At that time, the three thousand Guanning cavalry brought to Shaanxi by Cao Wenzhao wiped out many groups of rebels in the early stage of the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi. What is somewhat ridiculous is that the reason why they achieved such a great feat is because on the one hand
The combat effectiveness of the Guan Ning cavalry is indeed strong, but on the other hand, it is because of the language barrier between them, the Liaodong generals, and the Shaanxi rebels.
Because the Shaanxi rebels all spoke Shaanxi dialect, when the Shaanxi rebels were surrounded by Cao Wenzhao's army and they asked Cao Wenzhao's Guan Ning cavalry to use money and silk to buy an escape route, Cao Wenzhao's Guan Ning cavalry
But because he didn't understand, he continued to kill, causing huge casualties to the mob. As a local general in Shaanxi, He Renlong did not have this problem. This makes people really sigh: We need to promote Mandarin!
After suppressing the bandits for such a long time, Cao Wenzhao's Guan Ning cavalry finally understood this truth, so they quickly joined forces with other Ming troops.
In fact, this is also a standard way of raising bandits to show self-respect. However, the Ming Dynasty generals at that time did not take it seriously, because in their eyes, the rebellious people were at best puppies that could only bark "bark bark". But those soldiers
What Jiang never expected was that even a puppy would grow into a pack of vicious wolves after many battles in the field of life and death.
