Chapter 96
Chapter 096: Wealth and honor are in danger, it is indeed good
The housekeeper quickly said goodbye and left. After he returned to the Lin family caravan, the Lin family caravan slowly set off. Xu Xingxia and Yu Lijun stood on the side of the road, quietly watching the Lin family caravan move. The black caravan slowly drove by about thirty feet in front of Xu Xingxia. From beginning to end, the curtain of the caravan had never been opened. It seemed that he didn't know that there were other people outside.
It was not until the caravan went far away that Xu Xingxia opened the brocade box, but found that the brocade box contained a total of fifty gold ingots, each with about five taels of weight, totaling two hundred and fifty taels. In the late Wanli period, a large amount of silver poured in, causing the price of silver to continue to fall. One tael of gold can be exchanged for about thirteen taels of silver. Two hundred and fifty taels of gold, which was exchanged for silver, was 3,250 taels of silver.
"It's really good to be rich and noble."
Xu Xingxia put away the gold with satisfaction. He was still very satisfied with this thank-you gift. More than three thousand taels of silver can do a lot of things. Of course, these more than three thousand taels of silver have some other special meanings. If it were a general thank-you gift, it would not be so heavy. This fully shows that the Lin family would be so generous to win him over.
Xu Xingxia naturally had no intention of refusing the Lin family. He suddenly ran out and rescued the Lin family, which was originally for the Lin family's money. Xu Xingxia didn't care much about the beauty of the Lin family. What he needs now is the wealth of the Lin family. To strengthen his own strength, expand his army, build weapons and equipment, and study rifled rifles, no matter which one, it requires a lot of money.
More importantly, the Lin family is engaged in business, and in Ningxia Town and even the entire Ming Dynasty, there is a complete commercial network. This is also very important for Xu Xingxia. If he has any profitable business in the future, he can also operate it through the Lin family's commercial network. He needs the help of the Lin family, and the Lin family also needs his help, which is a perfect match made by nature.
Of course, with his current status and power, his status and power are indeed too small, and the Lin family cannot reach him at all. If you want to truly cooperate with the Lin family, you must also find ways to improve your status and expand your strength. To put it more bluntly, it is to expand your army and your territory.
"Da da da da!"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came again.
Xu Xingxia looked back and found that it was Zhang Quanfu who had arrived.
Zhang Quanfu looked a little weird, and even a little embarrassed. There were bruises on his face, as if he had been beaten up. He rode his horse to Xu Xingxia and whispered: "Sir, Wang Shoulu and Chen Hai are here."
Xu Xingxia frowned casually and said casually: "What are they here to do?"
Zhang Quanfu whispered: "They were both stationed in Niujiaoduan. Not only did they come, but they also brought more than a dozen people, saying that they would station in Niujiaoduan, and we would also divide the beds for them. As soon as they met, they snatched our things. The brothers had a conflict with them and fought, and several brothers were injured."
Xu Xingxia was slightly stunned, reached out and touched the scars on Zhang Quanfu's face, and said in disbelief: "The bruises on your face were they beaten?"
Zhang Quanfu nodded and whispered in a low voice: "Yes. Wang Shoulu brought a very capable servant. We are not his opponents. Both subordinates and Gao Meng were beaten. There are five or six other brothers who were beaten."
Xu Xingxia couldn't help laughing, and then shook her head gently.
It seems that when I brought people to make money, the boss was unhappy and wanted to undermine himself. I sent Wang Shoulu and Chen Hai to Niujiaoduan, obviously to differentiate the small group Niujiaoduan. The best result is to undermine himself, make himself a lonely person, and then slowly clean up. Okay, let's take a look and see what tricks you have above! Isn't it just beating people? I have time to accompany me!
"Walk!"
"Go back to Niujiao Dun!"
Xu Xingxia swung the horse's belly and rushed towards the ox horn pier.
Zhang Quanfu and Yu Lijun hurriedly followed and followed closely behind Xu Xingxia.
The atmosphere of Niujiao Dun, which used to be calm and busy, looks a bit weird today. Outside the pier door of Niujiao Dun, there were a lot of miscellaneous items, all of which were the daily tools of the soldiers in the white-clothed army. The soldiers of the white-clothed army stood outside Niujiao Dun with grief and anger, standing around Gao Meng, staring at the front with hatred.
In front of them were more than a dozen armed servants in black uniforms, who also stared at the soldiers of the White Army with hatred. Whether it was the White Army or the Black Army, there were people who were injured and bleeding, and it was obvious that both sides had taken action. On the other side of the Black Army, someone was lying on the ground and kept moaning. On the other side of the White Army, the injured people were struggling to support and refused to lie down.
The two piglets that were stocked in Niujiao Dun were shot and killed by Tartars before, but later they caught them back. As a result, the two piglets have been killed again. Both piglets were cut off from the middle by sharp blades, and blood spilled all over the floor, and all the internal organs and other things were rolled out. The bird house next to them was also smashed, and all the chickens, ducks, geese, etc. ran out.
"Play!"
"Play!"
There was a constant sound of something being smashed.
Wang Shoulu and a few servants were wandering around the kitchen. Beside him, there was a tall and big servant, who was furry all over, like a gorilla. His expression seemed very arrogant, as if nothing was placed in his eyes. He scattered the white rice, white flour, coarse grains and other things in the kitchen on the ground. In this way, he still had to step on it a few feet, turn it up all the soil, mix all the white rice, white flour and other flour.
Lao Yangtou, who was responsible for managing the kitchen, sat weakly on the ground, with a bitter face, trying to say something, but he didn't dare to say it. There were two clear finger marks on his cheek, which were obviously beaten. There were obviously multiple sole marks on his military uniform on his waist, which were obviously kicked. Perhaps because of internal injuries, a trace of blood flowed out from time to time on the corner of Lao Yangtou's mouth.
"Crash!"
Suddenly, the tall and big servant poured a large bucket of vegetable oil on the mud. The barrel of vegetable oil was full of more than ten pounds, and it was poured down, and a large piece of it was sprinkled. The vegetable oil bubbled and continued to penetrate into the soil. After a while, it disappeared, leaving only a light layer of oil stains.
"Crash!"
Suddenly, another bucket of peanut oil was poured down. The smell of peanut oil was much richer than that of vegetable oil. After being poured down, the whole kitchen was immediately filled with the rich fragrance of peanut oil. The soil that had been poured down by vegetable oil may have been saturated and could not absorb so much peanut oil for the time being. Therefore, on the surface of the soil, the remaining peanut oil formed oil sinks, which were very bright.
"No! You guys are ruining!"
Lao Yang was heartbroken and hurriedly threw himself to the ground, holding a spoon, trying to collect the peanut oil. However, Gao Jiading kicked Lao Yang's waist and kicked him down directly. Lao Yang's spoon in Lao Yang's hand flew to the point. However, Gao Jiading still couldn't relieve his anger, so he chased after him and continued to kick Lao Yang's head.
Gao Meng hurried forward, pulled Lao Yang away, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Erlong, what are you doing?"
