Yue Qingshan glanced at the silly nephew meaningfully: "I dare not say anything else. At least I am very familiar with Jinhua Wutang. Do you think that when we separated, we just broke up? That's all It is necessary to keep the twister, as long as you catch the twister, you will most likely find it."
As the old saying goes, there is no banquet that never ends, and this applies to both kings and ministers in the temple or brothers in the martial arts world. Regardless of whether it is a gang of gangsters or an escort, as long as there are people gathering together, they will eventually go their separate ways.
After these Jianghu people broke up, it was very difficult to contact each other because of the inconvenience of letters and the uncertainty of their whereabouts. The world was so vast that it was often difficult to see each other again.
If you really don’t want to lose contact, you can only rely on staying in touch.
Nuanzi is like today's telephone number and contact address. Even though the Republic of China already has telephones, telegraphs and mailboxes, people in the world still rely on Nuanzi if they want to find old friends.
So, how to keep the twist? How to use it?
When people in the Jianghu break up, they will find that person alone and leave a set of incisions, such as the King of Heaven, the Earth Tiger, the Pagoda River Demon, or the shaving of the head, the beard and the horse. In short, they must be mutually known and suitable for the incision.
From now on, if you see such cuts in the world, there is a high probability that that person is recruiting old friends, or looking for old friends.
, as long as your incisions match up, you have found each other.
After the Golden Rat Club broke up, Chao Bingzhong divided all the money he had saved into equal parts. If anyone wanted to keep the money, they would make separate incisions for future contact. No matter the relationship, we can go wherever we want to the ends of the earth and the sea.
"Second uncle, you and Jinhua Wutang left a knot?"
Yue Guanchao knew about Nianzi. Seeing how he was able to do it with such ease, he probably had already found Jinhua Wutang's Nianzi, otherwise he wouldn't be so skillful.
Yue Qingshan coughed a few times and said slightly embarrassed: "That's not true. Only Miss Luo left a knot with us."
There was clearly something behind his words. Seeing the look on his second uncle's face, Yue Guanchao knew what was going on. He chewed his teeth and said, "Hey, it turns out we are in love."
"Hey, you kid, you can become a sweetheart just like that."
A slightly unnatural look appeared on Yue Qingshan's old face.
Yue Guanchao winked and deliberately teased: "Then why can't we be considered good friends? The fact that you can call her a girl means that she was still an unmarried woman at that time. You also said she was old just now. You wanted to stay in touch because you wanted to be able to contact her in the future. You Think about it, when a girl doesn't want to cut off contact with you when she is young, it means she is interested in you, why isn't this called a good relationship?"
"Sun Daqiao, what is the relationship between Luo Shiniang and my second uncle? Why didn't it work out at that time?"
Yue Guanchao became more and more curious about Luo Shiniang of Jinhuatang.
Sun Daqiao, who was watching the excitement, didn't take it too seriously, and said with malicious intent, "Don't tell me, Miss Luo was thirty-five years old at the time, and she had pretty face, and her skin was so tender that you could lick it. Children of the world have never been taboo about talking about life-long events, so everyone in the Golden Rat Club knows very well what Miss Luo is thinking, and I even set up a match between your second uncle and her."
"Hey, what a pity?"
"What's a pity? People don't like him?" Yue Guanchao Yahuazi grinned almost to the back of his head, his eyes widened, and he insisted on finding out this gossip.
"If this is the case, Miss Luo will have to go to his bed in person. It's your second uncle who doesn't want him."
"why?"
Sun Daqiao became more and more suspicious and teased: "This has something to do with Miss Luo's life experience. Speaking of which, she is also a poor woman..."
There are powerful and high-ranking officials in the world, and there are also three religions and nine schools. Just like people have joys and sorrows, and things have misfortune and misfortune. They are all people who eat grains. No one dares to say that his life will be smooth.
The matter of a dragon in the sky and earth underfoot only exists in drama excerpts!
Most poor people are like animals when they are born. If they plunge into the mud and spend their whole life standing on the shore and shake off the mud from their legs, it is already a sign of their ancestors' merit. Raising a high-rise building to entertain guests, then I don't even dare to think about it.
Although Miss Luo was born in Jinhuamen, she only took refuge in trouble after her family fell into decline. As for before her fall, she was born into a wealthy family in Yangzhou.
At that time, Yangzhou City was the front station for Western trade with China, and many foreign merchants and foreign goods circulated prosperously. Although the Luo family did not do business directly with foreigners, they were engaged in shipbuilding. When they were at their peak, the Yangzhou port was full of cargo ships. Six of the ten ships are merchant ships produced by their family, which can be regarded as the most famous shipbuilding family in Yangzhou.
With a big business and a far-reaching reputation, the risks the Luo family faces will inevitably increase. Not to mention the jealous colleagues who are ruthless and ruthless, the Luo family is enough to suffer from the government level alone.
At the time of the chaos in the last years, the Luo family's shipyard was naturally targeted by some people. The Westernization faction launched a government-business joint venture in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to train new soldiers, they decided to open a shipyard to manufacture warships, weapons and modern merchant ships.
These officials are accustomed to patting themselves on the back. Since it is a joint venture between government and businessmen, they must find the largest shipyard. After going back and forth, the Luo family will come into the eyes of the government.
What is a joint venture between government and businessmen?
It was nothing more than officials taking shares in the factories of Jiangnan merchants. From then on, the merchants continued to operate the factories, but the factories took on the official surnames, and they could only share part of the profits thereafter.
Since the Luo family was a Yangzhou shipbuilding family, how could it be that they were just embroidered pillows with pewter spearheads? Of course they knew the twists and turns, and they also understood that this was just the Westernization faction embezzling people's assets under the banner of revitalizing national industry and seeking wealth and strength.
Now that they know what the Westernizationists are planning, the Luo family naturally chooses to push it forward, either delaying or complaining about poverty, and is always unwilling to cooperate with government and businessmen.
The official master is the sleeping dragon, so no one can dare to offend him. The Luo family is also a big family in Yangzhou. If everyone resists the government-business joint venture, how can I continue to run this Western business? If it can't go on, Lafayette will blame him. No, my black gauze hat is no longer guaranteed.
A pat on the thigh, hey, I have an idea!
Since your Luo family is doing business with foreigners, this can be considered a violation of this dynasty's prohibition. The Holy Ancestor Emperor has said that moving borders and sea bans, and opening up trade. Only the imperial court can do business with foreigners. Your shipyard builds huge ships for merchants. Forget it, you even sell the boat to foreigners who want to buy it? This is a perfect way to connect with foreign countries.
Lafayette has just signed an aggrieved treaty with foreigners in exchange for hundreds of millions of silver dollars, and you continue to sell ships to foreigners. From my point of view, you have a disobedient heart, want to unite foreigners to rebel against Muni, and deliberately make Lafayette unhappy.
I see, you should be arrested.
In this way, the Luo family was seized by the government on the grounds that they were "connected to foreign countries and had bad intentions." After that, all their properties were directly taken over for official use in the name of "going against the industry."
Although the locals in Yangzhou were angry about what happened to their family, they also knew that their arms could not hold their thighs. After this incident, they had to give up the confrontation and accept the cooperation between government and business. However, they pitied the Luo family. All the men who were taller than the wheel were beheaded, and the female family members and Young children are given Ninggu Pagoda.
After that, the Luojia Shipyard became the private property of Westernization and entered the pockets of the Prime Minister's Yamen.
Some people died, but not completely...
