People in the world need gold to make friends. If you don’t have a lot of gold, you won’t be able to make deep friends!
This is a sentence that Huang Zhi, the head of the Huang family in Fengyi, often talks about and always believes in.
For decades, Huang Shi has led his family in shopping malls. With his superior business talent, his Huang family's foundation has continued to grow like a snowball in Huaxing County, especially Fengyi County. Everyone firmly believes that as long as Huang Shi is given more In twenty years time, he will definitely become the richest man in Quzhou.
Huang Zhi believed that the temples were deep and the rivers and lakes were dangerous, and he also believed that money was omnipotent. He thought that with a piece of gold in his hand, he could own the world. Therefore, Huang Zhi never allowed his tribesmen to enter officialdom, the military field, or the rivers and lakes, only allowing them to Focus on business.
While leading the Huang family to grow and develop, if they were blocked by officials, they would use money to smooth things over; if they were blocked by bandits, they would use money to clear the way. Huang Zhi believes that no matter who you are, you cannot withstand the temptation of money. If you can withstand the temptation, it only means that the money is not enough and not enough. As long as the money is in place, the road ahead will be smooth.
This is the rule that has been passed down by the Huang family for decades. This is also the important reason why the Huang family has been going smoothly for decades.
For this reason, Huang Zhi led the Huang family to avoid the troubles in the temple and the swords and swords of the world. With his excellent business acumen, he accumulated money like a snowball. Regardless of the number of shops in Fengyi County, nine out of ten, it was all Huang. If the Huang family is to close down for three days, then 80% of the entire Fengyi County will have to eat wild vegetables for three days.
More than ten years ago, after accumulating a fortune that was unparalleled, Huang Shi suddenly changed his mind. From asking people to do things for him, to now asking people to do things for him, whenever the small sect's business was not good, Fengyi would not be able to do it. When the county government needs money, or when a member of a wealthy family encounters difficulties on the road, the heads of the family, big or small, need to submit greeting cards three days in advance, and the elders of the Huang family will agree on a time before they can enter the Huangmen.
Whether to give money or not depends on Huang Zhi's mood.
Even if it is given, it is still usury.
No, Huang Zhi at the beginning of this year was very proud of the spring breeze.
Just because after the five counties were leveled, the number of fields in the hands of the common people suddenly increased. Some farm men were weak and could not manage many fields, which was a waste. There were also orphans and widows who could not fully take care of the dozens of acres of land. In Huang Shi's view, this was simply a waste of natural resources.
Then, Huang Zhi's mind changed, and he came up with an idea. Since the "Five Grain Civil Order" stipulated that the fields could be rented or not sold, then he would just hire strong men, pay the people commission, and rent the fields for farming openly. In this way, the people We also have money, the land is not vacant, and everyone is divided according to the profits. Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
So, this spring, Huang Zhu divided the accounts according to the *** and distributed land rental subsidies widely.
People think that by renting out their fields, they can not only get a rent without working hard, but also allow themselves to continue to find a job outside, which is a sure way to make money without losing money.
Therefore, without waiting for Huang Zhi to publicize it, they all responded enthusiastically.
Huang Zhi didn't care about the quality or location of the land. As long as he came to ask for rent, he would take it all. He rented nearly 300 hectares of fertile land here and there. After that, Huang Zhi hired people everywhere. The wanderers in the fields and the idle young men take care of the land, while they themselves just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
It has to be said that the Huang family is born to do business. Even Pingtian can find opportunities to make money. He is really a master who can pluck his hair.
But things in the world are not static. Huang Shi calculated everything, but he didn't take into account that the hired wanderers were not good at and disdained field work. They spent three days fishing and two days drying the nets, and did not take care of the land diligently. The withered grass in the house grew taller than the crops, but he didn't care. For these people, Huang Zhi couldn't beat or scold them. This made Huang Zhi very sad.
If this continues, Huang Zhi will definitely lose all his money and will definitely lose money.
The businessman was too profit-seeking. After much deliberation, Huang Zhu decided to tear up the contract and ask the people to return the rent. But the contract written in black and white has already come into effect. If it is torn up now, the people will naturally not obey. For a while, Fengyi County was in a state of chaos and it was difficult to calm down.
No, this commotion attracted General Pingtian and Liu Yi who went south to Xuanhuai County and passed through Fengyi County.
...
Back to the story, Liu Yi saw him off at the foot of Laotou Mountain that day
Zhao Jian was captured, and then, without any delay, he immediately organized his army and headed south. With the dangers of the Yanshan Mountains the year before, Liu Yi could be said to have made a complete plan this time. Two days before departure, he sent two teams of 100 elite troops. Explore the way for the army to move out.
On the official road, Pingtian Army messengers shuttled back and forth, and the horses were inspected and reported back and forth for an hour. Liu Yi led Pingtian Sergeant to make steady progress, marching eight miles in an hour, advancing towards Fengyi County with full energy and neat steps.
Liu Yi did not go out in full force to visit old Zhao Yao this time. He only brought with him two generals, Zhou Fu and Chailing, and more than 3,000 Chinese troops. Wang Dali was left at the foot of Lingyuan Mountain to look after his family. hospital in case of emergencies.
Along the way, Liu Yi was worried and looked solemn.
Although the Fanggu Zhao family has a profound foundation, they cannot stand the more powerful Jiang family. The stalemate between the two is expected to be broken soon. If after the five counties of Fanggu have leveled the fields, the emperor issues an edict to level the fields of Quzhou, using his own I am afraid that my strength and ability are not enough to support the overall situation. I need to find helpers as soon as possible to accumulate strength and recruit talents.
Compared with the troubles in the future, there are still more troublesome things at present. According to the report of the tiger scolders, Jiang Ruisheng, who has entered the realm of immortality, has gone north to Xuanhuai County. Anyone who knows something about the Liu family knows that Jiang Ruisheng There is probably no better explanation for Liu Yi's intention of going north when he went south, except to kill him to vent his anger.
As for Liu Yi, through his understanding of the Jiang family in the past six months, the confidence he had in establishing the Pingtian Army to compete with Jiang Feng was gradually wasted away in the real time.
However, even though he knew that the road ahead was dangerous and difficult, Liu Yi still mustered up his courage and prepared for a showdown.
Although the road ahead is dangerous, I will go on my way!
Qiao Miaoqing rode her horse closer, her face was full of flowers and moonlight, and she was smiling. She gently tapped Liu Yi's forehead with the riding whip in her hand, and said with a smile, "Damn, what are you thinking about? Xiao Yinglong!"
Liu Yi's eyes were deep and he didn't smile at all. "It's nothing. I was thinking! How many people are needed to keep a scholar in the realm of immortality?"
"You mean, Jiang Ruisheng?" Qiao Miaoqing, the commander of the Tiger Clan, naturally knew the current situation very clearly and asked.
"Yeah." Liu Yi lowered his head and groaned, frowning.
"Oh, why do you want to do this?" The little girl slapped Liu Yi with a pony whip and said softly, "There must be a road to the mountain!"
Liu Yi was not in the mood to joke at all. After hearing what Qiao Miaoqing said, he said helplessly, "Then tell me, where is the road? As long as there is a bright road, I will not find my own unhappiness."
"The road is..." Qiao Miaoqing was speechless for a moment. She knew that even if all the masters of the Pingtian Army were put together, Jiang Ruisheng might not be able to stay. However, as soon as she saw Liu Yi frowning, the little girl felt inexplicable. Feeling distressed.
Thinking of this, the little girl pointed the little riding crop in her hand and smiled heartily, "No, this is the way!"
Liu Yi looked up, Fengyi City was already in front of him.
Qiao Miaoqing chuckled, "It's hard to pass through a pass, and it's hard to walk through a city. Go through this city first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
Liu Yi had no idea and could only nod in agreement.
After entering the city, Liu Yi saw the lively crowds coming and going. His dull mood felt better. He couldn't help but think to himself: Forget it, let's beat the dishonest Huang Zhi first, and we can figure out the rest later. .
Liu Yi did not let the army swagger into the city, and ordered Chai Rong, Chai Ling, and Zhou Fu to bypass Fengyi City and camp in the south of the city. After waiting for the incident to be completed, Liu Yi went out of the city to join Pingtian's army and immediately left his house and headed south.
Liu Yi walked on the street with Qiao Miaoqing, Li Erniu and Guo Yizhi, and soon found out the location of the Huang Mansion.
The four of them were in a hurry and didn't waste any time. They immediately left in search of the trace and arrived at the gate of the Huang Mansion. Before they even reported their names, the housekeeper arrogantly turned the four of them away with a look of contempt on his face. He scolded sternly, "Four unruly things want to enter the Huang Mansion. Don't you know how to submit a greeting card three days in advance?"
"There are no rules!" Guo Yizhi immediately retorted, "Don't you know to ask the visitor's name before discussing the matter? The Huang family's dog really doesn't understand any rules."
"Name? Rules? Hahaha!"
The housekeeper seemed to have heard this
The biggest joke of the year, he opened his mouth wide and burst into laughter, and then continued to say with contempt, "I'm sorry, this butler only recognizes invitations, not people's names! Besides, these wild kids without all their teeth, Are you worthy of Grandpa asking me your name?"
"Arrogant!" Li Erniu, who was both civil and martial arts master, lost his temper. He walked up to the housekeeper in three steps and slapped the housekeeper backwards. The housekeeper immediately fell to the ground and howled in pain. Even two front teeth were missing.
Upon seeing this, several servants of the Huang family stepped forward to ask for an explanation, but before the two sides could argue, Huang Zhu had already reached the door of the house. The servants immediately retreated behind Huang Zhu and stared at him eagerly.
Li Erniu glared at Huang Zhu angrily and stepped back behind Liu Yi knowingly.
We haven't talked about the matter yet, but there is already a lot of smoke. It seems that it is rare to be kind today!
Huang Zhu didn't even ask the steward why he was beaten. He took out a large piece of gold from his arms and threw it to Liu Yi, then turned and left.
Liu Yi didn't pick it up, and when the gold was about to hit his chest, Qiao Miaoqing held the scabbard in her hand, found the right opportunity, flicked the gold nugget to the side of the door, and embedded it in the stone.
Before Huang Zhi could say anything, Liu Yi took a step forward, narrowed his eyes to a slit, and said to Huang Zhi with a sarcastic face, "Money depends on human relationships, and money will destroy human relationships. It seems that the Huang family really cares about money." You are very determined!"
"What a joke!" Huang Zhi was not angry because of Liu Yi's ridicule. Instead, he was very happy and said, "I wonder which family your little friend is from?"
"General Hirata, Liu Yi, pay your respects to Patriarch Huang!"
Huang Zhi's face turned pale.
This enemy is here to collect debts!
