Seven days later, I went to Shenhe Village in Gusu.
Murong Fu did not take the water route when he returned, but used Qinggong all the way, so the time spent on the return trip was directly reduced by half. Su Xinghe carefully selected the mute servants for him and asked them to follow him. Anyway, with these
People's loyalty cannot lead to such things as deserting halfway. If that's the case, there is no need to keep these people. Let them follow on their own, which can be regarded as a small test of their loyalty.
All the things that happened along the way made Murong Fu feel that the time of relying on foresight to get by was probably gone forever. He didn't know what would happen in the future. What was worth celebrating was that his current martial arts skills were sufficient.
To protect yourself, you no longer have to look forward and backward, or be timid.
The reason why he rushed back in a hurry was very simple: there were still two prisoners in the house!
I can't imitate Linghu Chong or Dongfang Bubai and imprison people in the West Lake Water Prison. Although there is a group of experts at home to help watch and can't cause any trouble, but delaying it for one more day will eventually lead to trouble. In order to avoid long nights and dreams,
It's better to throw these two hot potatoes to others.
Before leaving, he made an agreement with Wu Yazi to take Wang Yuyan to Leigu Mountain in half a year so that he and his grandson could meet each other. In the past six months, he had completed the practice of all thirty-six meridians of Beiming Divine Art.
, Wu Yazi then taught him the profound method of Beiming Divine Skill.
Abi and A'zhu were very happy to see Murong Fu return. Murong Fu had already become wary of the two maids to a certain extent because of Murong Bo's inference that Murong Bo had killed Ke Baisui.
I just dealt with it in a nonchalant manner.
"My lord, you asked me to purchase minerals, and I have already completed it."
In the hall, Deng Baichuan was explaining the affairs of this period to Murong Fu.
Murong Fu glanced at Deng Baichuan approvingly: I have to say that although Deng Baichuan is difficult to control, he is still very efficient in doing things. This kind of person is a figure like Cao Cao. If everything is peaceful, he will be Xiao He and Cao Shen.
If the building is about to collapse, he doesn't mind giving you a hard push. How he uses it depends on how capable he is, the contemporary head of the Murong family.
"What's the specific situation?"
The two were overjoyed. This reward was much more valuable to martial artists than gold and silver. The two of them had good talents, but due to various reasons they were not allowed to practice advanced techniques and secrets. This gift from Murong Fu would definitely make their martial arts even better.
Next level.
That was not what Murong Fu was thinking about.
Murong Fu took a closer look and saw that it was a handful of banknotes, all worth one hundred taels each.
"Young Master, Xiang Wanghai's 128 men have been dismissed in accordance with the Master's instructions. The loot accumulated by his rampage in Chuzhou has been notified to the local officials in accordance with the instructions, except for what is needed to disband his troops.
Accept it and deposit it into the treasury."
Then, the two of them happily went to find Baotong.
First of all, miners are no better than sharecroppers. In this era, an army composed of yeoman farmers may collapse the moment it comes into contact with the enemy. But a team composed of miners can maintain good coordination and show a stronger will to fight.
Then he called Brother Yi Dabiao. The two of them were still dressed as plainly as before, and they did not change their true colors at all because of the generous treatment given by the Murong family. This made Murong Fu appreciate it very much.
Then Murong Fu looked at the boss of the ship, Wang Jinbao. Just as he was thinking about how to reward him, he saw the other party looking around mysteriously. After confirming that Yi Dabiao and Yi Dabiao were gone, he walked up to Murong Fu and touched him from his arms.
He took out a handful of things and presented them to Murong Fu like a treasure.
He looked at the iron chains around their waists and said slowly: "The 'Spirit Snake Whip Technique' that you two have practiced, and the advanced 'White Python Whip Technique' in Shi Shui Pavilion. You two can go find it."
The package is different, ask him to take you to get it."
And what about the rich? They cherish their lives very carefully and would rather spend more money to buy good charcoal than use highly toxic charcoal. Therefore, charcoal is in a rather embarrassing situation in the south.
Coal, which is coal in the popular sense, is just that there is no anthracite process in this era, and no sulfur is added to it.
Yi Dabiao reported to Murong Fuhui respectfully.
If so, it would not be taken over by Deng Baichuan. After all, in this era, heating supplies such as coal and charcoal are basically luxuries. A pound of high-quality charcoal can be sold for six cents, which is equivalent to two pounds of brown rice. Ordinarily,
, which is mostly profitable. But the problem is that this is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and the winter is actually not that cold. Although people in later generations often joke about the winter in the south, for the poor of this era, it will be over if they endure it.
Next to the two of them stood Wang Jinbao, the former boss of the ship. It was with him that he was able to deal with such a mess.
The famous anti-Japanese general in history, Qi Jiguang, built his Qi family army based on miners, which was famous for future generations and made Japanese pirates frightened.
Murong Fu nodded: "You have done a good job. Now, listen, this is your reward."
So Deng Baichuan told the specific situation one by one. After hearing this, Murong Fu immediately understood that what Deng Baichuan had captured was a coal mine.
"Yi Dabiao, Yi Dayong!"
Therefore, if you want to sell well, you can only transport pebbles to the Bianjing area. This can also be very profitable. However, to get to Bianjing, the most efficient and low-cost way is water transportation. But in order to ensure the transportation of water grains,
Generally, only official ships can travel on the Bianhe River. If other ships want to travel, they have to pay a large toll, so the gain outweighs the loss.
As for why there must be such a force? Think about Zhujiazhuang, which was borrowed food from Liangshan.
The Murong family owns 8,000 hectares of land. How many people care about such a family property? Otherwise, do you think the Shaolin monks practice martial arts just to strengthen their bodies?
No matter what his plans for the future are, he can only feel at ease if he has a part of his own power. Counting the time, Fang La should still be a child now. But there is no guarantee that a mediocre official like Zhu Meng will not come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future, causing a stir.
When trouble comes, it's always good to be prepared for a rainy day.
Deng Baichuan originally did not want to eat such a useless thing, but he thought that Murong Fu's move might be a plan for the Murong family's restoration of the country - after all, charcoal can also be used for weapon forging, although the cost is much higher than firewood.
Murong Fu was slightly startled: "Guanshi Wang, what does this mean?"
"My subordinate is here!"
The two of them knelt down and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you for your gift. From now on, I will destroy you to pieces, and I will not give up even if you die!"
In this case, the mine owner had no choice but to give up.
Murong Fu was very satisfied with Deng Baichuan's performance and let him go after a few instructions.
The mine is located in Xunwu and is small in scale, employing only a few dozen people.
Wang Jinbao chuckled: "Master, you asked me to pay off the property of the Haisha Gang earlier. I only handed over part of it to the government. There are still 20,000 taels left, which I have exchanged for silver notes and they are all here."
As if he was afraid that Murong Fu would blame him, he quickly added: "Master, I am thinking about our Murong family. You gave the money to those corrupt officials in the government. In the end, you gave them an advantage. This money is in your hands."
Only then can it play its due role! You are too kind-hearted and always reward others, how can you do this? There will be many places where you can use your money in the future!"
He was slobbering as he spoke, dancing with joy, and looked like an old woman.
Murong Fu couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of treasure had he brought back?
