"Idiot, we're going, how are we going to receive the goods in the future?" The old village chief was furious, "What's all that money for?"
Qian Henian was scolded so much that he dared not say a word.
The old village chief knew that the situation was over and it was no longer possible for more than a dozen fishing villages to stand on the same line.
In the past, everyone was equally poor and couldn't survive. If there was someone who took the lead, everyone would naturally respect him.
Now it’s no longer possible. The imperial court is throwing away a lot of money, and the poor are taking the money and becoming rich in one day. Who will take risks with them?
"How many people are still guarding and refusing to leave?"
"There are only five households left in our village!" Qian Henian said awkwardly.
These five families all have relatives who are pirates. In fact, there were originally more than thirty families in the village, but those remaining people couldn't resist the temptation and went to the city.
If you want to blackmail them, you can't do anything to them even if they fight to the death.
Human life is like a piece of grass, this money is enough to buy a life.
"Where are the other villages?"
"One yuan added is less than fifty households." Qian Henian said: "Dad, if we fight to the death, there will be no benefit, so we might as well take the money first and keep the benefits.
Then think of other ways. Now that the situation is over, it will not be so easy if we want to encourage others.
It's better to go to Yinzi and go find your elder brother! "
The old village chief remained silent. He was actually afraid of revenge. After all, he had offended the prefect. How could it be so easy?
Now that everyone has been dispersed, what right does he, the village chief, have to speak?
No one listens to him anymore.
"That's all, let's make some arrangements, get the benefits first, and then find a way to sell the allocated fields and houses to get more money.
In a few days, your eldest brother's ship will arrive. Let's leave. "
The old village chief's heart is as high as the sky, his life is as thin as paper, and he still wants to become a king.
As a result, the imperial court defeated his ambition by waving money.
"Yes, Dad!" Qian Henian was so happy that he hurriedly went to make arrangements. In fact, the people who insisted on it were also very difficult. They all wanted to get the benefits first. With money, the world is huge, where can I go?
Everyone is a weakling. Even if some people become leaders of pirates, life at sea is so hard. They don't have to worry about food and drink, but it's not their turn to make money.
Therefore, the families of these people are better than ordinary people, but not much better.
Seeing the ruined households in the village, even the widow's family was given money, and they turned into phoenixes and lived in the houses assigned by the yamen, who wouldn't be jealous?
But now, the old village chief has spoken, and they dare not stand up due to Qian Hegao's majesty.
After all, this master is the tyrannical king of the sea.
However, once he entered the city, he was not afraid of them. No matter how powerful the king was, he would not be able to attack the city, and he was not afraid of their revenge.
With money, who would risk their lives in the sea?
After a few days like this, the old village chief divided the money with his family, disposed of the land and houses, and used the prestige he had accumulated in the past to grab a few good houses, so he quickly took action.
I also saved several hundred taels of silver.
Grabbing more than 20 close friends, the group came to the place where they usually met the ships.
"Has the Wang family been notified?" the old village chief suddenly asked.
"I've informed you that we should avoid the limelight and wait until the prefect forgets about us!" Qian Henian said.
If he hadn't offended Deng Chushan, he wouldn't have run away. He could have stayed in the city to provide support. With the connections he had accumulated over the years, he could have continued to influence the situation.
"I'm talking about money. Have you paid for this extreme errand fee?" The old village chief glared at his son.
"I said I'll give it to you when the goods arrive!"
"Idiot, we are all gone, can we give this money to us?" The old village chief was very angry, but then he thought about it, if the Wang family wants to continue to make a living at sea, they must give money, otherwise, his eldest son Can take care of him.
"Dad, if we can run away from the monk but cannot run away from the temple, it's not like we won't come back." Qian Henian said: "When eldest brother gets into trouble, we can just kill him and come back. When the time comes, we will make the Wang family kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"
He knew what his father liked to hear most, and sure enough, after hearing this, his father's face actually showed a smile.
"Everyone, I will definitely take care of you this time when you go to sea. As long as you follow my footsteps, you may be able to create a hegemonic career in the future!" said the old village chief.
Everyone else looked flattering, "Don't worry, we'll fight wherever you point us when we get into the sea!"
The old village chief nodded with satisfaction.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Qian Henian became a little anxious, "Why haven't you come yet? On weekdays, this hour has already arrived!"
"You must calm down when big things happen. Why are you anxious?" The old village chief sat on the wooden box, which was filled with money.
"Dad, there's not even a shadow of a ship on the sea. Could it be that the sea is very rough and you didn't come today?" Qian Henian said: "The wind is so strong today, we can't postpone it. How about we go back to the village and make do for one night tomorrow?" Coming over?"
"No, just wait here!" The old village chief waved his hand, "If you are hungry, just eat some solid food."
He stared at the sea. At this moment, a mast appeared on the sea, followed by a large ship with thousands of materials. "Here it comes!"
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally here!"
After another half an hour, the boat gradually docked.
They waited until the people on the boat showed up and confirmed that they were acquaintances, then they went over.
"Why are you so late today?" the old village chief asked with a frown.
The leader on the ship said: "Don't mention it, something happened in Ningbo recently, the news is very tight, hurry up and help unload the cargo, this is all the best fine salt!"
There is no shortage of salt at the seaside. Boiling seawater to obtain salt has been around since ancient times, so there is no shortage of salt at the seaside. However, smuggling salt is still a huge profit.
The old village chief frowned, "We won't be accepting goods in the future. Something happened here. All the people from the tidal flat have entered the city. You should be careful in the future. Although they may not find this place, I heard that, They want to develop the entire tidal flat.”
The leader was stunned. After hearing the old village chief's explanation, he was also shocked. "Is this court stupid? So much money was given to these mud-legged people for nothing? These saline-alkali lands can neither grow food nor build houses. They are used for very?"
"Who knows." The old village chief sighed and asked about his son again.
Just as the leader was about to speak, those carrying the private salt screamed, followed by countless knife-wielding men in black rushing down from above.
The leader was shocked, "No, retreat quickly!"
Qian Henian was also in a state of confusion. He pulled his father and ran to the boat, "Dad, get on the boat quickly!"
The old village chief's brain was shut down, he slapped his thigh and started walking as fast as flying.
He couldn't figure out where these people came from, but he knew very well that if he was caught, he would die!
As for his ambition, he has long forgotten it. Living is the most important thing!
