Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 231

When I came back this time, basically everything in the begging army was on the right track. Almost 500 hectares of mountain fields and the land near Wutai Mountain were completely turned over. There are still many disaster-stricken lands in Dai County that were also taken by Scarface. Unfortunately, there were not enough seeds such as potatoes and corn, so in desperation, I went to the countryside and planted some wheat and sorghum.

The accommodation is also solved. Twenty villages have been built in the mountains, and the young and old beggars are placed on the edge of the nearest water source and field for easy care. Except for two villages, they are distributed on the plains. , the rest are all hidden in the mountains, and in the Lingfeng Valley where they camped before, Scarface organized more than 500 people to build a wall to seal the narrow valley mouth. After all, it is still a rebel peasant army. There is a stream in the back mountain here , and it is still in the most rugged part of Wutai Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is separated from the Buddhist holy place by a ridge, which has the effect of being dark under the lamp.

However, after walking on the newly pressed gravel road, when he reached the valley of the base camp where rocks were being quarried and repaired, Scarface scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Shuai Qu, I forgot to repair the house for you!"

That is to say, the begging army, if Luo Rucai's Cao Ying, with such a scarred face, would have been dragged out and dismantled, the tent when he set off, and the tent when he returned, Song Qingshu could only wave his hands twitching at the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay, as long as the soldiers live well!"

Then General Song, who loves soldiers like a son, inspected the barracks again, inspected the training of the musketeers and cavalry, and then, with his scarred face and anxious eyes, took his girl to Dai County leisurely in a carriage.

This trip back, Song Qingshu developed well. The Musketeer Team and the Cavalry Team, which were training hard, had more than 5000 horses. Each sent a roll of cotton cloth and went back to make clothes. Seeing the main force of the begging army happily chanting about Song Qingshu, the scarred face smiled helplessly. Shaking his head, he originally wanted to trick Song Qingshu, so that he would not give him a chance to fight, but now he has to live in a tent, and he has bought people's hearts. He has indeed experienced the city of being a leader.

…………

It's not that Song Qingshu couldn't stand the bitter cold of the tent when he entered Dai County, absolutely not!Although it is one thing to go to the shops he owns in the city to improve housing, it is definitely not the main purpose. Amidst the laughter of Caiwei and the two girls, they took a carriage and took advantage of the last post before sunset to enter the county seat. Dragging a few big boxes, Song Qingshu went straight to the business that he and Shi Tianfu opened.

The first trip to Xikou was quite successful, and a lot of cow and horse leather goods were exchanged. According to the standard set by Song Qingshu, the leather goods were sent to the Qihuo Army Garment Factory to make various types of local leather clothes, plus those harvested in Xinzhou. The spoils of war, Shi Tianfu, Cao Sanxi and other five merchants are really busy.

To rely on the sales channels of the Cao family, the Zhang family and other big Shanxi merchants, Song Qingshu generously promised them a [-]% share of their profits. The merchants were really excited and busy. As for Shi Tianfu, now that the business has picked up again, he can be regarded as After regaining some vitality, he replaced the Jiaduobao signboard on the top of his head with a large gold-letter signboard. When Song Qingshu came, he was still busy with the other four people, calculating the bill.

"Master!"

It's really an old shopkeeper. After reading Song Qingshu, Shi Tianfu immediately put down his calculations respectfully, stepped forward and bowed his hands, Cao Sanxi and the other four merchants hurriedly saluted and greeted Song Qingshu enthusiastically. The enthusiasm was much warmer than when they first met. How many times do you know, who made Song Qingshu their God of Wealth.

"Song Dong's family, you are here!"

"Hehe, you guys keep busy, Song came here to find something for Lao Shi."

"Oh? Laifu, find a clean room immediately, my master, please come here!"

Following Shi Tianfu, who was twisting all over his body, went up to the second floor, found a dark side in the back, and peeped towards the window. Below was the courtyard of his own business. The busy accountants didn't pay attention to it, Song Qingshu Only then did he wave his hand reassuringly, and asked Li Tiezhu to lift up the two boxes.

"Boss, this is?"

Do you want to reward yourself?Shi Tianfu asked curiously, while Song Qingshu lowered the window with a smile on his face, and waved to Shi Tianfu.

"Old Shi, I've prepared a big gift for you when you come back this trip, open it and have a look yourself!"

"By the way, don't scream out loud!"

Seeing Song Qingshu's mysterious appearance, Shi Tianfu didn't take it seriously. He is also a rich person. When he was in Xi'an, his worth was not 10 taels, but he had to have 8 or [-] taels. To be honest, he didn't see any good things. However, he was so shocked that he yelled out, but Song Qingshu had his heart, Shi Tianfu still turned the lock of the box respectfully, and just opened the box lid, but the thing staggered like a pig. After taking two steps back, the lid of the box closed again with a loud click.

"Shh!"

This is the county town of Dai, and there are quite a few big families with backgrounds. Song Qingshu didn't just cover the sky with one hand. Seeing his master's pen scribbled on his mouth, Shi Tianfu also hurriedly covered his mouth excitedly, but he opened the box again, and the inside suddenly There was a burst of whining sound.

The box is interesting enough, a man and a woman were stripped, only the loincloths were left, and they were tied back to back. The binding time was long enough, and the delicate arms of the beautiful woman in her thirties were all tied up. Their thighs were still tied together, their eyes were blindfolded, their mouths were stuffed with stinky socks, and they couldn't move at all. Listening to the continuous opening and closing of the box, both of them whined non-stop.

Even though most of his face was covered and his mouth was deformed, Shi Tianfu would probably recognize these two even if they were turned into ashes. One was his wife, Zhang, and the other was his rival in love, the former county magistrate who almost killed him. The county magistrate, later Zhao Qing, the magistrate of Xinzhou.

The hatred of killing his life and taking his wife, Shi Tianfu thought that he would never be able to avenge this hatred in this life, but he never expected that now a pair of adulterers and mothers could appear in front of him in this form, Shi Tianfu Excited hands trembled.

"You don't need to thank me too much. This piece of lady was delivered to the door by herself when she was in Daxinzhou City, and the prefect Zhao's mansion is not expensive. It was exchanged for a donkey!"

The capture of these two people was really interesting. On the night when they attacked Xinzhou, Song Qingshu, who was thinking about this, immediately went straight to the government office with his own soldiers. It was that team of officers and soldiers who went into the city to plunder, relying on their uncle being the governor of Xuanda, they went up and ordered Song Qingshu and others to scold them. It happened that she got all the information right in the scolding, Song Qingshu waved his hand, and just A hemp rope was tied.

As for the prefect of Zhao, it was really a donkey exchange. Cao Cao is despicable, selfish, insidious, and perverted, but the only shining point is his jealousy. Respectfully let go, corrupt officials? Naturally, all the men were killed and the women were exiled to the army. This Zhifu Zhao is a standard corrupt official. He was sent to the door in Lubanzhai and was directly tied up by Cao Cao.

If Song Qingshu hadn't sent people there early, Luo Rucai would have chopped up this product for drinking. Hearing that he was Song Qingshu's enemy, Cao Cao sold the product to Song Qingshu with a donkey. It's cheap enough to give Jin Yiwei some execution knives.

The only risk for the two of them is to bring them back alive. If they escape, Song Qingshu will be completely exposed.

Fearing that Shi Tianfu would faint from excitement, Song Qingshu hurriedly laughed and joked, trying to make this guy relax, but who knew that Fatty Shi was trembling for a long time, but he hugged Song Qingshu.

"Boss, can I stay alone for the meeting?"

He was kicked out, Song Qingshu touched his nose in embarrassment, but he also understood this guy's mood, and walked out in a panic while talking.

"Old Shi, there are whips and candles in the drawer at the bottom of the box. Outside, I hired a master torturer from the yamen in Xinzhou. If you need anything else, feel free to mention it. You're welcome!"

Without saying a word, Shi Tianfu clasped his fists heavily at Song Qingshu and bowed down. This ceremony was extremely solemn, and everything was kept silent.

As soon as Song Qingshu walked to the corridor, furious curses could be heard from inside.

"Bitch! I treat you wholeheartedly, and you treat me like this! And you, Zhao, who killed a thousand knives, I trusted you so much back then, brothers are worthy of each other, and the family business depends on each other! Not to mention taking over my property, And abducted the old woman and aunt? I beat you pair of sluts to death!"

Hearing the loud slap in the face, Song Qingshu couldn't help shrugging his shoulders helplessly. There was still this part, and the manager cheated again. Fortunately, Zhao Qing's surname is not Song this time!
In the next few days, Song Qingshu’s life will be more nourishing. Although capitalism has sprouted these days, most of them are still small handicraft workshops. Like Song Qingshu, more than 2000 female workers have gathered. Such a large-scale garment factory is really unprecedented. More than 2000 pieces of juan cloth, silk, and more than [-] bundles of furs were brought back from the grassland. In less than half a month, [-] sets of various ready-made clothes and [-] exquisite fur coats have been piled up in the The Jiaduobao store was located in the storehouse outside Dai County.

Moreover, during this period of time, 3 or [-] refugees from Xinzhou flooded into Dai County, absorbing more than half of them, leaving enough agricultural population. Song Qingshu opened another spinning mill, which collected cotton and spun yarn, and then directly Entering a garment factory to make ready-made garments, his light industry is considered to be up.

On the other hand, Li Guer, a fashion designer, is really at the level of Milan. The ready-to-wear styles he makes are not only liked by wealthy families in the city, but also by poor people. Guangdai County sold more than 1000 pieces. This is a material. In the impoverished late Ming Dynasty, when the elder brother wore the clothes smaller for the younger brother and gave them to poor relatives when he was old, it was quite amazing that a small Dai County could have such sales in such a short period of time.

To Song Qingshu's delight, the suits and Chinese tunic suits he made became popular in Dai County. This set of clothes is refreshing, not as sloppy as Confucian scholars' robes and sleeves in the past. Huaxia has always admired the novelty of Hufu As a habit, more than 100 sets of custom-made suits have been sold, and now students in the county gather together, and they are embarrassed to go without wearing a suit.

Under the general environment, the Xinding Basin also became clean with the departure of Gezuo Wuying and Caoying. Except for another letter from Qiu Ming asking for 1 taels of silver, nothing major happened. Looking at the Powerpuff Girls, when this month is about to pass, on September 22, another accident came to Song Qingshu again...
