Invincible son

Chapter 149 148 [Department of Punishment]

The progress of the honeycomb was so smooth that Pei Yue felt that it was God's compensation for him.

When they got together at the Tianqinglou in Kyoto, under the witness of Gu Liang, he signed a contract with those powerful children and received 30 taels of bank notes from Taiping Bank.As the first batch of angel investors he met in this world, Pei Yue naturally wanted to express his goodwill, so he agreed to pay dividends for the first time in early March next year, and then settle it every year.

After the guests and hosts had a good time, Pei Yue privately wanted to return the 5 taels of silver note that Gu Fan brought back to Gu Liang, because the Gu family had always helped him a lot.Even in the briquette business, without the names of Gu Liang and Gu Fan, it would be impossible for him to make such a big deal by himself.Due to emotion and reason, he couldn't even collect money, and the [-]% of the shares were originally intended to be given to Gu Fan.

However, Gu Liang firmly refused.

Pei Yue refused to agree no matter what, until Gu Liang said something like this: "Your elder brother can't save money, and you can spend whatever you give him. Over the years, I have also saved some money by relying on military achievements and property. , but it is impossible for him to lose alone. He and his three elder brothers have 5 taels of silver each, so don’t come to me even if you starve to death in the future, and the rest of the family’s property is Zhen’er’s dowry.”

"If you still recognize him as your elder brother, then accept the money and make more money in the future to distribute dividends, so that he will not starve to death."

Speaking of this, Pei Yue could only accept it, and then quietly gave Gu Fan a look, meaning that I will keep the money first and give it to you later.

He still remembered that when he got 5000 taels from Li Zijun, he did not refuse to give Gu Fan 1000 taels.Think about it too, since Gu Fan claims to be the number one ranger in Daliang, he must have a lot of socializing and entertainment, and he is the kind of character who likes to pay, so he must not have a lot of money in his pocket.

But at this moment, Gu Fan grinned and said: "You have just opened this stall, and you need a large sum of money, so you can just keep it. Don't underestimate your elder brother, I am the kind of person with shallow eyes? Put 5 taels here, and get 10 taels every year in the future, and feel at ease that there is no burden at all, so I don’t know how to settle accounts?”

Pei Yue sighed in admiration: "My brother is right, he is smarter than yesterday."

"Hey!" Gu Fan wanted to make a move.

"Okay." Gu Liang said two words lightly, and then said to Pei Yue: "I'll accompany you to the Ministry of Accounts."

With Gu Liang personally accompanying them, the land of Shouyang Mountain was negotiated very quickly without wasting much saliva.Pei Yue spent 3 taels of silver to buy the piece of wasteland with a radius of more than ten miles including Shouyang Mountain, and has since transformed himself into a super landlord.

The Secretary of the Household Department drank tea and chatted with Gu Liang, while Pei Yue followed a principal to handle the paperwork.

The matter went so smoothly and the price was so cheap. Apart from Gu Liang's face, what was more important was that the land was uncultivated wasteland.Even though the household officials knew that Shouyang Mountain had a large area of ​​natural coal mines, no one cared about it. They probably still regarded Pei Yue as a stubborn prodigal son.

Everyone knows that these days coarse coal is put on the ground and no one picks it up. It is nothing compared to charcoal, and it will produce thick smoke when it is used to burn fire.

After finishing the most important thing, Pei Yue did not return to Lvliuzhuang, but called all eighteen teenagers to the capital to start the preliminary preparations.

The first is the facade of Xiangyun Company. After the on-the-spot investigation, Pei Yue selected a shop with a street-facing facade on Qingshui Street in Xicheng. This place is relatively quiet and not as noisy and lively as Miaohou Street.

Then there is the preliminary planning of Shouyang Mountain, including the construction of houses, the resettlement of various areas and the construction of straight roads.

There is an official road in the north of Kyoto, connecting Xingliang Mansion and Huazhou, but Shouyang Mountain is still two or three miles away from the official road, so a straight road must be built, otherwise the briquette cannot be transported to Kyoto.

The recruitment of personnel is also in progress at the same time, mainly various craftsmen and shopkeepers.

These complicated things made Gu Fan, who had been following Pei Yue, a headache, but for Pei Yue, everything was in order.He only sleeps two or three hours a day these days, and spends the rest of the time constantly assigning tasks.

On October 21, a group of craftsmen and peasants went to Shouyang Mountain to start building straight roads.

On the 22nd, a larger number of craftsmen and civilian husbands began to build the buildings in the Shouyangshan Camp.

With the cards of the Guangping Hou Mansion and the extremely reasonable price given by Pei Yue, these basic tasks did not encounter any trouble.

Wang Yong led seven teenagers and 56 men from Green Willow Village, all armed, stationed in Shouyang Mountain to take charge of supervision and security issues.Although it looked like there were only a few dozen people, these were eight groups of mandarin duck formations that had been practiced very familiarly and had seen blood, and ordinary thieves were no match at all.

Under the banner of Guangping Marquis Mansion, Feng Yi and Gai Ju invited more than 20 skilled blacksmiths to Lvliuzhuang to make a very peculiar ironware according to the blueprint given by Pei Yue.

These days, Gu Fan only feels that his vision has been broadened again and again, especially when he accompanied Pei Yue to Shouyang Mountain, and watched this kid tell those 50-[-]-year-old craftsmen how to build a house with his own eyes. Some sullen.

"What's the matter?" Pei Yue looked at his bitter face while eating, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Gu Fan touched the rice grains with his chopsticks, and sighed: "Sometimes I can't help but suspect that you are not a real person at all."

Pei Yue's heart tightened, and he said with a smile: "I'm not a human, can I be a ghost?"

Gu Fan shook his head and said, "Ghosts can't understand so many things, how old are you? How can you know everything?"

Pei Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "At least you are much better than me in martial arts, don't be too inferior."

"Bah!" Gu Fan scolded with a smile, and then said, "I'll give you two years, and then we'll have a good fight, don't say I bullied you."

Pei Yue was noncommittal, the most important thing for him now was briquette, 30 taels of start-up capital, and the green light from the North Korea and China. It can be said that he had never fought such a rich battle in his previous life, and he did not allow himself to make any mistakes.

But if he doesn't look for trouble, trouble will naturally come to him.

On October 25, Gu Fan brought a bad news.

"Let me go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice tomorrow?" Pei Yue looked at him puzzled.

Gu Fan frowned and said: "The case of Li Zijun was transferred from the Taishitai Pavilion to the Jingdu Prefecture. The governor of the Yao Prefecture saw that the prisoner was the eldest grandson of Marquis Fengcheng, so he sent it directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After a few rounds of arguing, His Majesty asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to handle the case. , according to our Daliang law, you must be present as the plaintiff."

Pei Yue wanted to curse a little bit.

This case is so simple that it can be seen through at a glance. Taishitai Pavilion has already grasped the complete chain of evidence. Even if the emperor does not want to chop Li Zijun because of Li Bingzhong's face, he should at least be sentenced to exile for three thousand miles, right?Otherwise, if the court fights together in the future and directly sends people to assassinate the other party, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

The instigator has no descendants?
The case was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, and the first trial was delayed. If Taishitai Pavilion did not support Pei Yue, maybe Li Zijun would be able to escape completely in the end.It was obvious that the emperor bullied him as a young man, and he was about to be rewarded with a viscount soon. He decided that he would not dare to make trouble at this time, and wanted him to suffer this boring loss.

Seeing Pei Yue's solemn expression, Gu Fan couldn't help but said worriedly: "Brother Yue, don't be impulsive."

Pei Yue took two deep breaths, shook his head and said, "It's okay, isn't it the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? I also really want to see the demeanor of our official Liang Qiu."
