On the way back, Zhu Yixi kept thinking, how can he control the craftsman camp?
The benefits of taking control of a craftsmanship camp are many.
Apart from anything else, it is still possible to secretly accumulate some firecrackers and then raise the standards to improve the Qin army's firearms technology.
However, having just taken control of the General Medical Office and now wanting to take control of the craftsman's camp, it gives people the impression of being greedy for power.
Are you thinking that this is how you can take over the craftsman camp decently and reasonably?
"metropolitan--"
"uncle!"
"granduncle--"
Along the way, the clan members shouted enthusiastically, and Zhu Yixi nodded slightly.
As his status becomes higher and higher, the value of the status of the sect leader becomes higher and higher.
To put it bluntly, after his prestige increased, it was no more than before. Now the weddings and funerals of everyone in the entire King Heyang lineage have to go through his hands and be submitted to the Prince of Qin's palace, including Xijue.
King Heyang has been passed down for two hundred and twenty years. Including him, there are ten generations in total, including five generations of kings and five generations of worshipers.
Unlike the King of Qin who had only a few descendants, the number of descendants of King Heyang, including his son-in-law, exceeded a hundred households.
The influence is incomparable.
Back at the house, there were only a few people.
Today, Jinyiwei Qianhu Residence lives with him, Zhu Mou, Zhu Meng, Zhu Jing, and ten adopted clan orphans.
"Where have everyone gone?"
Zhu Yixi was quite confused.
"Sect Master, you are back."
When Zhu Mou saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, then entered the house and said eagerly: "Sect Master, let's find out more about it."
"There are about thirty grain merchants in Chang'an County, and only five are the richest. The one who is the most greedy, stingy, and evil is Wan Zongyi of Wanyong Grain Company, who has the most aggressive price increases.
.”
Listening to his muttering, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Wan Zongyi, you really deserve to die, how much is his family fortune?"
"There are more than thirty grain shops, silk and satin shops, vinegar shops, and sauce shops. I heard that his family also engages in private salt business and is known as a wealthy man in Chang'an."
"So rich?" Zhu Yixi immediately became confused: "This fat pig has been alive and well for such a long time. What is his family's background?"
"I heard that it is his father-in-law, who has the sixth grade experience of the Chief Secretary Yamen."
Zhu Mou didn't think so.
"Hey, I was still afraid of it in the past, but in these days, let's cut some flesh!"
Putting the craftsman camp aside, Zhu Yixi's heart immediately became excited when she thought of money.
This profiteer has made a lot of money from the rise in food prices. To give him some face this time, just blackmail him for a hundred thousand taels!
…
In Chunxiang Tower, the banquet was in full swing. Feng Youcai hugged him from left to right, looked at Wan Zongyi who was alone, and said with some humor:
"Thousands of people are out there, and your wife is not around, so what are you afraid of?"
Wan Zongyi was a fat man. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That tigress is very jealous. If she smells rouge on me, she might deal with me when she gets home!"
As he said that, he looked at the beautiful woman with heavy makeup and light makeup beside him, swallowed his saliva, and resolutely refused.
"Manager Feng, why are you looking for me if you have something? Is the farm's grain about to be sold? Don't worry, I've decided to give you a good price."
"That's one thing!"
Feng Youcai waved his hand and asked the two women to leave. Then he said with a sad expression: "Not long ago, I was robbed of most of my fortune by robbers. Do you know that?"
"I've heard of it!" Wan Zongyi nodded and said sympathetically: "He's called a bandit, right? He's so cruel."
"I reported it to the government, but there was no trace of it for half a month. I still have some wisdom in my humble wife, so I specially gave him a lot of jewels. When they were sold, they were stolen and taken away. Who knows, there is still no news."
The more Feng Youcai thought about it, the angrier he became. This was not only ten thousand taels, it was worth almost fifteen thousand.
"You stomped your feet and shook Chang'an County three times. Who dares not to give you face? So you always help me look for it. If you find it, I will give you a big courtesy and thank you."
Wan Zongyi took a bite of the food and then said: "With the relationship between you and me, isn't it a piece of cake?"
"Don't worry, what's the big deal? If I say something, I'll find it for you immediately, within three to five days."
As the steward of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Feng Youcai was in charge of more than a dozen farms and thousands of hectares of fertile land, and he was also a big customer of the grain store.
Wan Zongyi patted his chest and promised: "When the time comes, I will personally capture him to vent your hatred."
"Okay!" Feng Youcai was overjoyed. Wan Zongyi, a man with great hands and eyes in Chang'an County, was designated to handle it well.
After a few more drinks, they dispersed.
"Thousands of people are out, be careful on the road."
Looking at Wan Zongyi leaving, Feng Youcai couldn't help but remind him.
"It's okay, I have a dozen servants here!"
Wan Zongyi doesn't care about Tao.
Since Feng Youcai's incident happened, the city of Xi'an has become less stable, and the wealthy people are more panicked.
Looking at Wan Zongyi who got into the car and left, Feng Youcai breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists: "Now, bandit, I'll see how you escape."
"Madam, bring me two of the best girls!"
…
At night, the city of Xi'an became increasingly quiet, with few lights.
Wan Zongyi got on the carriage and shook his head: "Who dares to rob my carriage? Don't risk your life?"
"Bang, bang, bang—" Suddenly, the carriage began to shake.
"what happened?"
"Master, the ground seems to be so slippery that the horses can't even stand on their hooves——"
"Boom -" The horse tripped over the rope and the carriage fell down.
The servant following on horseback also fell to the ground.
Immediately, his throat was cut by a dozen masked men.
Only the coachman and Wan Zongyi, who was in pieces in the carriage, were left behind.
"Go, hand over one hundred thousand taels, and give you half an hour. Once it is discovered that you have gone to the government, your life will be dead."
The groom was frightened by the robber who was covered with a cylindrical cloth. He nodded quickly and received the master's jade ring from the robber.
"There is a small door in your backyard. Put your things there. After receiving the goods, I will return it to you."
Wanfu.
"This guy who killed a thousand swords just went out to drink wine and got kidnapped. He deserved it!"
"How much less will it cost?"
Mrs. Wan cursed fiercely for half a quarter of an hour, but this time she stopped, and then ordered people to collect the money and goods.
She is also a little clever and specializes in choosing jewelry that is identifiable, so that it can be easily traced in the future.
I have also heard about the bandits who want wealth rather than their lives.
Immediately, ten large boxes were placed on the street in the backyard.
"Crash-"
Immediately, three flatbed trucks arrived and within half a quarter of an hour, they were all transported away.
Wan's family was shocked: "Where is my master?"
After a while, a stone wrapped in paper was thrown over: "It's in your dog's hole."
"My dog hole? There are several dog holes in my house, which one is it?"
Mrs. Wan hurriedly cursed.
"Madam, with my size, this should be the dog hole in the left courtyard!"
The steward said.
"Let me look for them all, including several dog holes, and then report to the Yamen. The damn gangster dared to kidnap my husband. My father has the experience of being the Chief Secretary——"
