Chapter 141 Betting About (Fourth)

What measures will be taken!
In terms of scheming and cunning, these usurers are not as good as this terrible little second, but in terms of brutal methods, they are far more than this little second.Although this Wang Xiaoer drove them to a dead end, there was still a faint glimmer of life left behind.But those loan sharks knew that they were bankrupt, and all the land and kiln products had been pawned to Wang Hua, and they would skin them alive.

Wang Shen was still resisting, but Zhang Zhi couldn't hold on.His home is still several miles away. Now that Wang Hua brought so many people to the door, the news spread quickly. If he didn't prepare, he would not be able to leave later.

In fact, don't think about those usurers, just look at the servants of Wang Shen's family.If Wang Hua hadn't brought a lot of people over and suppressed them, they would probably have started to collude among themselves by now, and they were all grabbing things and preparing to escape.

"I write," he said.

It's good to have someone speak up.The truth was also revealed back then. Seeing Wang Yi's new porcelain technology, Wang Shen was a little moved, so he found Zhang Zhi, and the two discussed together, called Wang Yi to Zhang Zhi's house for a drink, and deliberately got him drunk. Then he strangled a maidservant of Zhang Zhi's family to death, put her on Wang Yi's bed, and carried the stolen goods of Wang Yi's work.As for Zheng Shisanlang, it just happened to be a meeting, and he didn't know the inside story.

In fact, when the two confessed, they were full of loopholes and had different opinions.Wang Hua knew in his heart that the two were helping the Zheng family get rid of their responsibilities because they were afraid that the Zheng family would trouble them in the future.In fact, it is possible that Zheng Shisanlang saw the profits generated by Gongxian porcelain kilns and wanted to get involved.It happened that Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen were making an idea of ​​Wang Yi's porcelain kiln, so they hit it off.Otherwise, they might have dared to kill someone, but they might not have the guts to have killed someone and put the stolen goods on Wang Yi's head.

Wang Hua understands, but he can't move the Zheng family now, so this matter is over.He didn't break it.

As for the sufferer, Zhang Zhi later told her family that the maid fell into the well and drowned while fetching water. She bought a property in Dengzhou and asked them to move there.So many years have passed, and there is no contact. They don't know how the family is doing now.

Hearing this, the people of the ethnic group were filled with righteous indignation and shouted one by one: "Send them to the officials."

Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "If you don't have faith, you won't stand. Now that you agree, let them go."

Now that they have written a confession, if they are sent to the government, they will be charged with serious crimes, such as conspiring to seize other people's property and murder.They might all be sentenced to death. After hearing the shouts of the people, Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi trembled. When they heard Wang Hua's words, their hearts were only half relieved.

Wang Hua is also helpless, so let's accept it when he sees it.This matter has also inspired me a little bit by some means. If it reaches Wu Zetian's ears, it won't be too good.Let it go now as soon as it is good, and make some compensations, and this phenomenon can be reversed.If he forced them to die again, he would no longer be that modest gentleman.

He didn't know, contrary to his thinking, Wu Zetian was looking at his means, and the more powerful his means were, the more he liked Wu Zetian.

One more thing, Wang Hua asked someone to come to Lizheng, and he had to sign the transfer contract before he could be released, otherwise if he ran away, all the creditors who demanded the debt would stretch their hands into the property of the two families.At that time, even the fields where the clansmen were arranged may not be available, and the three porcelain kilns may not be able to be taken back.

Li Zheng didn't understand why all the properties of the two families were transferred to Wang Hua.After reading the original contract, I had some understanding in my heart. I knew that the two families might have been fooled by Wang Xiaoer, but I dared not say it.After being a guarantor, Zhang Zhi rushed home, wanting to borrow a horse from Wang Shen, but Wang Shen didn't agree. With some horses.But to escape, you need a horse to escape in order to speed up.Horses are not enough, so how could they be lent to Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi cursed loudly.When human nature comes here, it has shown its ugliest side to the fullest.

It was Wang Hua who stopped him and said, "Stop scolding, go back quickly."

Ask Lu Ergou to take a dozen or so clansmen to accompany him back.By the way, to prevent the disturbance of Zhang's subordinates.

At this time Wang Yi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.Wang Hua also saw his expression, but didn't say anything.

Wang Shen's family started to get busy.In fact, in order to buy land, the remaining liquidity of the two families is not much, but they still have a lot of gold and silver jewelry.Wang Hua didn't stop her and asked them to pack up and take them away.After tidying up, the family cried and cried, and the two of them fled together on the same horse.

In fact, these two families are now different from Wang Yi at that time. Because they are charged with crimes, they dare not show up in public. If they want to maintain the life of a large family with some small things, they will not last long.Since their escape, the end of the two families has been announced.

The affair did not end there.Now that there are fields, the first thing is to distribute the land.There is another biggest problem, which is easier for tenants. There are many big landlords in the Tang Dynasty, some of which have thousands of acres of land. customers, or dealers.There are many restrictions on the personal freedom of these people, but it is not difficult.The most critical is the latter type, trilogy, slaves, and Hakka women.These people have explained that they are the slaves of the major owners, and their private property is goods.

Tang law expressly stipulates that the identity of Hakka women in Buqu is hereditary.This generation is a trilogy, and the next generation is still a trilogy of others.Even if it is good, the parents must write in handwriting, and the eldest son and below should jointly sign and report to the government to be effective.If people don't want it, even if Wang Hua takes the first place in the imperial examination immediately, there is nothing he can do.Agreed, the procedures are also very troublesome. First of all, to buy these people back, they need to go through strict "excessive" procedures according to the regulations, that is, "Buying and selling slaves and maidservants must issue a public certificate from the West City Office. Still through the county magistrate, Introduce the test to rectify the body, call it too low, and ask the parents to see it, punish them, clearly establish a certificate, and shut down the Taifu."Then go through the release procedure.

Although the number of this group of people is very small, about ten families, they are the ones that Wang Hua must save.

Among all social classes in the Tang Dynasty, these people were the most pitiful.

These people are no longer humans, they are a kind of property, and the owner can dispose of them at will except that they are not allowed to kill them at will.If you flee, you will be given sixty sticks for one day, and one level will be added for three days. The 120 rods came down, and it is estimated that no one was killed.Even the marriage must be approved by the master, otherwise the stick will be one hundred.If you marry a lover's daughter, you will live for one and a half years, and you will travel three thousand miles. If you marry a lover as a wife, you will be cut in half.All labor property belongs to the owner.If the owner is guilty, except for the ten heinous crimes, he must not report it, otherwise he will be hanged, and even if he hurts the owner, he will also be hanged.But the master mistakenly killed the servants of the trilogy, and only had one hundred sticks.

In fact, judging from these laws, slaves in the Tang Dynasty were not as good as those in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At least the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty strictly stipulated that those who killed slaves could not be reduced to crimes.

Most people still appreciate Wang Hua's approach, but a few of them were very happy when they found out about it, and took a lot of money.In one family in particular, Wang Hua spent three hundred coins to redeem one of his "nephews".Li Hong's face turned pale with anger, and said, "You grab it!"

What a steal, the money can probably be redeemed for a pink head in Luoyang.

But the initiative was in his hands, so Wang Hua had no choice but to stick out his head and let him kill him severely.Just like he killed Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi.

The two families have a lot of land, but it is barely enough for so many poor people to divide it up.After all, the tax is heavy now, and the land yield is very low. If there are not many fields, it is better to be a tenant.

This matter is being arranged by Wang Yi and his wife, Li Hong and Xiang Tiao, and Wang Hua is still studying.There are still many things that Wang Yi has to do. For example, the three porcelain kilns have been taken back, and Wang Shen has not completely remodeled them, so they have to remodel them.But once the five porcelain kilns are opened, the profits generated are equally astonishing.

Another example is that Wang Hua has gained a lot this time.In addition to seizing the family properties of the two families, they also got a large sum of money, about [-] guan.For some big families, it wasn't much, but for the Wang family, it was a huge sum of money.The money is basically the working capital of Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi's family, as well as the usury they borrowed, and the five hundred gold from Yu Du's family.As for the money given by the workshop elders of Baolinzhai, it was actually Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi who gave it. They just went through a few procedures. They borrowed it from others and transferred it to Hebei, and from Hebei to Wang Hua. Then it flows from Wang Hua's hand to the elder's hand, then back to Zhang Zhi and Wang Shen's hands, and then back again.

After hearing this, He Chen said, "Two poor babies."

Wang Hua found the magistrate of Suo County and said: "Now my clan has been arranged properly, and I still have a lot of money in my hand. I want to use it to buy more fields and distribute them to poor families in Gong County. I also hope that Minggong will Let's cooperate."

This is a good thing, the county magistrate Suo was overjoyed when he heard it.Officials now want to show their political achievements and do superficial work, and it was the same at that time.There is no time limit for this matter, and some wealthy households in Gongxian County are not asking for prices as much as they did in spring.In fact, many people regret it now. At that time, the price of Wang's paintings was already very high, but they still pushed forward.As a result, the accidents of Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi's family came, and the land price plummeted.

For this matter, many people secretly blamed Du Peng and the other two.

Now that I heard about this, some people who wanted to sell their fields obediently sold them at a fair price.So this matter was carried out in an orderly manner with the cooperation of the government.

Of course, this also brought great fame to Wang Hua.Although the ideal he said is lofty and cannot be realized, what is happening now proves that he is working hard towards this goal step by step.

It's just that Wang Yi is a little unhappy.

This is not the hundreds of pennies that were given out before New Year's Day, but tens of thousands of pennies, which means that the Wang family will stop working hard and it will be enough for them to live on for several lifetimes.

Wang Hua persuaded: "Father, this is ill-gotten wealth. If it is not handled properly, it will be condemned by God. Do good deeds and return it to the people."

Scourge?Wang Yi didn't believe it, he also experienced it from a wealthy family, but he knew what those wealthy households in the village did, and he didn't see them being punished by heaven.As for the results of Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi's family, I just blamed them for being blind and underestimating my son, who was as wise as a monster.

During this time, Wang Yi did many things for Wang Hua.Porcelain kilns need to be managed, and these chores need to be run around.These efforts are gradually changing Wang Hua's response to him.So he explained again and said: "Father, don't forget that there is still one person who is paying attention to what happened to me."

After speaking, he pointed to the sky.

Wang Yi was still a little confused at first, what does the kid mean? Could it be that God is watching you.Thinking of it suddenly, I also broke into a cold sweat, well, my life is more important.

Wang Hua saw that he was enlightened, and patted him on the shoulder of this cheap old man and said, "Father, please do it well, let the child study with peace of mind, and find an official job for the Wang family, so that you can boast of being a good man all day long." The gentry became the real gentry."

Wang Yi made him dumbfounded.Are you my son, me or your son?
Many people were not happy with the Du family, and many people were not happy with the Wang family.

Wang Hua let Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi escape, their loan sharks!Where do you want to go back to.No, so I made an appointment to go to Wang's house together and ask Wang Yi for it. You have to hand over the property of the two families to repay the usury owed by Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi.

In the end, Wang Hua was so noisy that he couldn't read the book in the study.

He came out and said: "The grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. The two of them owed you a debt. Why should I ask my family to pay it back? And these two families obviously want to bring my family down again. You still lend him money." Money! I didn’t settle accounts with you, but now you are here to bully me. Well, it’s up to you to use any tricks, open or dark, I will accept it, and you can go to court. See if you are the second Wang Shen, or me It's the second Wang Shen! Get lost!"

Wang Yi still dared to quarrel with him, but after Wang painted it and said something, no one dared to say anything.

That is the master who dared to fight bulls even the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang, so people like himself may not be in his eyes.Moreover, Wang Er and Zhang Da's families were ruined this time, which was beyond everyone's expectation, and this little guy killed the two big families in a silent manner.It's chilling to think about.Or see an official, but they have more reasons, and they may have a bright future, and they also occupy the righteousness of helping the poor in the world. They can't win their own lawsuits, and in the end they get frustrated.

One by one, they left the Wang family with incomparable resentment and incomparable resentment.

It wasn't until this time that the Wang family really settled down.

Wang Yi also cleaned up the three porcelain kilns and started firing new porcelain.

Wang Hua sometimes does some experiments, but he takes chances.Because he was experimenting with the Jun kiln porcelain in Yuxian County in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the monochrome color-changing porcelain, which mainly added copper dioxide produced by high-temperature oxidation of copper to form a purple-red glaze.There is also a color-changing blue and a color-changing blue, which are also the most difficult to imitate famous porcelains in Song Dynasty.

There is also Song Ru Porcelain, which was fired for a very short time. The incense ash body and sunny weather in this kind of porcelain are one of Wang Hua's favorites in his previous life.

The difficulty of making these two kinds of porcelain is not small.As for the other two famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty, the ruins of the official porcelain cannot be determined, and the Ge kiln is too far away, so the requirements for soil quality are stricter.Compared with the sound of gold and stone knocked by other porcelain bodies, Geyao porcelain has a sound similar to broken "porphyrin", that is, soft porcelain in terminology.More local soil is needed.These have become the reasons for Wang Hua to give up temporarily.

Wang Hua is still marching towards over-glaze and under-glaze colors.

Underglaze colors appeared in Changsha kilns of Tang Dynasty and Cizhou kilns of Song Dynasty (white ground with black flowers), and overglaze colors also appeared in Changye kilns of Song Dynasty and Cizhou kilns.

There is also sauce-colored porcelain, which is also a series of Ding porcelain.

However, after Wang Hua did several experiments, he found that the fired porcelain pieces did not look like Dingjiang porcelain, and the single-color color-changing porcelain did not look like Jun porcelain, but seemed a bit like Qing sauce porcelain and Qing furnace Jun glaze porcelain.But not as elegant as the latter.Once, I almost fired glazed porcelain similar to Ming and Qing tea powder.But this time it was even more different.Wang Hua was a little angry. In order to burn out these kinds of porcelain, under his instruction, he almost destroyed the two furnaces of porcelain, but the effect was not great.

Finally settled down.

Only when you come slowly, it is like Edison inventing the light bulb. After countless trials, you can finally master the correct formula.There is another reason, and it is also possible that he did not find the real raw materials during his last trip.

Therefore, these porcelain furnaces are still firing Dingbai and Dinghei porcelains.

The weather seems to be entering May.

On this day, Zheng Shisanlang suddenly came to the door again.

Wang Yi sincerely invited him to sit down.And also called Wang Hua out of the study, and had to deal with these nobles and his own son.

Zheng Shisanlang was not polite, and said straight to the point: "I remember that when I visited your house last winter, you said a word that our two families are neither friends nor enemies. You take back those three porcelain kilns. Is it allowed? You must know that I account for half of the shares in it!"

Get started first.Why are you embezzling my property if you can keep the water in the well without violating the water in the river?

Wang Hua smiled slightly: "Thirteen Lang, I don't want to mention the past. We all know the true ownership of these three porcelain kilns. Now I just used a peaceful means to take them back to our Wang family. .Your mansion is a wealthy family with great emphasis on public opinion, the boy thinks, this kind of ill-gotten wealth, your mansion will definitely look down on it."

Use voice to crush Zheng Shisanlang to death, and prevent him from having an attack.

This is Wang Hua forbearance, he was just taking advantage of it.There are also the confessions of Wang Shen and Zhang Zhi, except that one was handed over to the government of Gong County, and he kept the other.

Zheng Shisanlang sneered: "It is also reasonable for you to say that it is your porcelain kiln, and it is also reasonable for me to say that half of my shares are in it. I believe you can't deny it. Now, there are two ways to solve it. The first way, The agreement signed with Wang Er remains the same, and I still have half of the harvest from these three porcelain kilns. Or there is another way, let's make a bet to determine their ownership."

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands, and his servant brought in a person. Wang Hua couldn't help being stunned when he saw it. This person was the arrogant and domineering Miss Du Rui.

What did he mean by bringing this young lady here?
Zheng Shisanyi clapped his hands and continued: "If you win, the ownership of these three porcelain kilns will belong to your Wang family. And our Zheng family will continue to be your friend in the future. Of course, if you think our Zheng family is not qualified to be yours That's fine, friend."

Wang Yi sweated when he heard this, the big hat was pressed hard enough.

Either you be friends, or you look down on our Zheng family!
Zheng Shisan said again: "And I will give you a reward. This young lady of the Du family will be yours from now on. Whether you want her to be a concubine or a slave, if you are happy, you can continue to return Make an appointment with her before, and you can make her your wife. I'll let you dispose of her."

Wang Hua was stunned again, is that okay?

He couldn't help turning his eyes to this proud little lady of the Du family out of curiosity.
