Chapter 1025 Prepare to go south

The deaths of these two people were not without suspicion on Wang Yue. After all, the whole of Jiangning knew that Nie Yunzhu was doing business in cooperation with Wang Yue.

And Nie Yunzhu was entangled by Song Xian and Gu Yanzhen. In order to save the business, it was possible that Wang Yue killed these two people in a rage.

But no matter what you say, there must be evidence. Without evidence, you can only doubt it. After all, Wang Yue played chess with Mr. Qin more than once, and all the dignitaries in Jiangning knew it.

Because of this speculation, no one dared to provoke Wang Yue anymore. You know, both Song Xian and Gu Yan frame brought many people with them at that time.

There are only two possibilities for Wang Yue to kill these two groups of people quietly, neither of which Jiangning officials are willing to offend.

First of all, the first possibility is that Song Xian was originally the enemy of Prime Minister Qin, and maybe Wang Yue was ordered to kill by Prime Minister Qin.

There is another possibility. Wang Yue was born in Niutoushan Taoist Temple. He is also a figure in the world. It is normal for him to know some gangsters who kill people and swindle goods.

Ordinary businessmen and Jiangning's powerful people don't want to provoke such people. After all, such people are cruel and ruthless and should not be offended.

For this reason, in the following days, the development of Nie Yunzhu's Bamboo Records was smooth sailing, and the income also increased a lot. After hearing the news, businessmen from other cities came to purchase goods, which brought a lot of extra income. .

Wang Yue also took the opportunity to launch a perfume. As expected, this luxury jewelry became popular again. Zhuji's income was also getting higher and higher. Every day he made money was an insult to Zhuji.

After getting money, Wang Yue continued to buy people and land to expand the scale of his secret guards and bodyguards.

At the same time, Wang Yue has also begun to open inns in other cities. The owners of the inns are all secret guards, and the trained guards have also begun to transport the soaps and perfumes produced to other cities.

By the way, we wiped out the blind bandits along the way and occupied their territories as strongholds for Wang Yue's forces.

The reason why Wang Yue did this was mainly because according to logic, it is now the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and bandits are too rampant. It is a good opportunity to develop the bandit alliance. Didn't you see that Liangshan grew up like this?

On this day, several guards at Wang Yue's home were taking turns riding the bicycle made by Wang Yue, and he turned the bicycle into a polishing stone and polished several lenses.

He was going to teach his men how to make lenses so that they could make telescopes for their subordinates to use. Of course, he himself would definitely need them.

While he was busy, Wang Qing suddenly ran over. After bowing and saluting, he hurriedly said, "Sir, your friends Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang are here to visit. They are already in the banquet hall."

Wang Yue was a little surprised. These two people rarely came to visit. He quickly got up, picked out a few lenses that were not good and installed them, then walked to the living room with the telescope.

Seeing Wang Yue coming over, Mr. Kang sighed and said, "Master Wang, you are busy making money and don't come to play chess with us. If I want to see you, I have to come to our door."

Of course Wang Yue knew that these two people must have come here for a purpose. He also wanted to have a good relationship with these two people, which would be beneficial to his development in the Wu Dynasty, so he smiled and greeted me, "You two have wronged me. I am doing something recently." A sharp weapon of the country, I didn’t expect you two to come to me for trouble. In fact, you just sent someone to inform me, and I just went to visit my house myself.”

Mr. Qin was looking at Wang Yue with a smile. Hearing what Wang Yue said, he was a little surprised and said, "Oh, what are you doing, Xiao Yue? I heard that you have obtained the legendary Luban inheritance and can do a lot." Bizarre stuff.”

Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead. He was sure that this must be because the auxiliary production equipment he made spread out, which aroused people's discussion.

Without making any excuses, he handed the telescope to Mr. Qin and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, look at this treasure. Can it be called a weapon of the country?"

Mr. Qin took the telescope in surprise and took a casual look at it. However, because the direction he was looking at was the ground, he felt dizzy.

Seeing Mr. Qin's reaction, Wang Yue quickly reminded him, "I named this thing a telescope. Mr. Qin would be better off looking at things in the distance."

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Mr. Qin raised his telescope and looked into the distance. He suddenly found that the scenery in the distance seemed to be right in front of him. Even the trembling of the down on the birds in the distance was extremely clear.

He put down the telescope and asked in shock, "Why is this thing so magical? It can actually bring things far away in front of you?"

Wang Yue originally made this thing just to send it through Mr. Qin. Regardless of whether there is a reward or not, he will be very stable in the Wu Dynasty in the near future.

Mr. Qin was shocked, so he explained patiently, and then said, "This is the magic of the telescope. Mr. Qin, think about it, if you have this thing, wouldn't it be much more convenient to march and fight?"

When Mr. Qin saw what Wang Yue said, he agreed with Wang Yue's idea. He had been an official for many years and understood what Wang Yue meant.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely want to get promoted and make a fortune, but in Wang Yue's case, he felt that he probably just wanted to use this thing to bring himself a safety net.

In this case, Mr. Qin felt that he could do it by himself, he only needed to give the order, so he said seriously, "I already understand Xiao Yue's idea, but when Lao Kang and I come here this time, there are Ask for anything else.”

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion, "You two are big shots, what else can you ask of me?"

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Mr. Kang smiled and explained, "Xiao Yue, you should also know that disasters have occurred all over the Wu Dynasty this year. Mr. Qin's staff thought they could call on businessmen from all over the country to raise funds. Considering that you are not only a member of the Wang family, The person in charge is still related to the Su family, so I want you to call on me."

Seeing Mr. Kang's implicit words, Wang Yue understood what was going on. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Qin, I don't think you really want to agree to this idea. There is no problem with raising donations, but It is easy for local officials to start apportioning money to businessmen at first. In fact, I think it is not just businessmen who are really rich, but the big families who own a lot of land, and the food needed for disaster relief is also controlled by each family. In your hands. Mr. Qin asked businessmen to pay these big families to buy food for the victims. It will ruin your own reputation to some extent. "

Mr. Qin sighed after hearing what Wang Yue said. Isn't the largest of the families Wang Yue mentioned the noble family?

However, anyone who wants to be an official for a long time does not want to offend these people. He still has great ambitions to realize, so he does not want to offend these people too much.

Therefore, he felt a little ashamed, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's discuss this later, Xiao Yue, what do you think about this disaster relief?"

Wang Yue was very familiar with this, and he easily explained many feasible disaster relief plans, which not only involved health care, but also advocated work-for-relief, which made Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang listen very seriously.

Mr. Kang saw that Mr. Qin didn't speak after listening, so he asked the doubts in his heart, "Those victims are already hungry, and they have to work to support themselves. Can they be healthy? It won't cause trouble." Bar?"

Wang Yue had no choice but to explain to Mr. Kang the benefits of working-for-relief. After he finished speaking, he emphasized, "Only by giving these victims something to do will they feel at ease and not cause trouble."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Mr. Qin immediately asked again, "Xiao Yue, I know about your health care, but what about health care? Seeing as you have issued so many regulations, it is not good to torment the victims like this. Bar."

Wang Yue was helpless, so he brought over a bowl of water, then took the telescope from Mr. Qin's hand, adjusted it towards the water, and then handed the telescope back.

He made a gesture of invitation, and then said to Mr. Qin, "Mr. Qin, this water looks very clean. You can observe the situation in the water through our telescope."

Mr. Qin didn't know what Wang Yue was trying to do, but he still got up and took a look through the telescope. He was now somewhat familiar with the telescope and was relatively proficient in using it. When his vision was blurry, he raised his head slightly. , it became clearer.

Through the telescope lens, I found that there were many tiny particles in the extremely clear water, which were invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Mr. Qin frowned in thought. After a while, he asked seriously, "Is this the legendary One Flower World?"

There were many subjects involved, and Wang Yue didn't have time to explain them to Mr. Qin one by one, so he simply went straight to the topic and said, "The things that cause illness are actually caused by things that are invisible to the naked eye. We can only drink boiled water." , maintain hygiene, this can keep most people healthy.”

Mr. Qin is also a knowledgeable person. Although he does not understand medical skills, he roughly understands what Wang Yue means.

He nodded in agreement, sighed and said, "The disaster relief measures you mentioned are very practical. If you are an official, you will also be a capable minister. You must take part in the next imperial examination and take the exam well. "

Wang Yue twitched his mouth. He didn't want to offend Mr. Qin's kindness, so he casually said, "I will definitely think about it, but this time the imperial examination has just ended, and I don't know how many years it will be next time. At best, I will take the exams for young scholars next year. As for the subsequent exams, we will talk about it later."

When Mr. Kang saw that Wang Yue was not afraid of being seen by the imperial examination at all, and thought that Wang Yue had been prepared for a long time, he couldn't help laughing. He said with admiration, "It seems that Xiao Yue has already got it in his head. There is no need for me and Lao Qin to do anything about it." You plan."

Mr. Qin also nodded, sighed and said, "Even if you missed this imperial examination, it will take a few years to pass the imperial examination. Are you interested, Xiaoyue, and let me recommend you for an official position? You have a telescope and this disaster relief strategy. There is no problem in keeping you as county magistrate."

Now Wang Yue is still developing his Niutoushan, and of course he can't leave now. He looked at Mr. Qin and pretended to be helpless and said, "Let's wait until I pass the imperial examination next year. In our Wu Dynasty, we don't have to go through the imperial examination." If you are an official, you will be looked down upon."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Mr. Kang and Mr. Qin admired Wang Yue even more. Originally, Mr. Qin was a little unhappy because Wang Yue refused to organize a fundraiser, but now he heard that Wang Yue was interested in entering an official career. Understand, after all, this kind of offending thing is really not suitable for a helpless person like Wang Yue to do.

After seeing off Mr. Kang and Mr. Qin, Wang Yue went back to continue his work. He made several mirrors and prepared to give them to several women.

I happened to see Xiao Chan standing outside, so I picked out one of the small mirrors and called to Chan'er, "Chan'er, come here quickly, I have something good for you."

After Chan'er came over, she was not as interested as before. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Only then did Wang Yue realize that Xiao Chan was not in the right mood. He handed the mirror over and then said with a smile, "I'm giving you a mirror. Your face turns into a bitter melon when I look at it. What happened? Tell me." one time."

Chan'er took the mirror from Wang Yue's hand and thought it was a bronze mirror, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, after she took it and took a look, she found that the mirror was extremely clear. Then her attention was diverted and she asked in shock, "Uncle, where did you get such a good treasure? Or give it to the lady?" Well, the lady will definitely be very happy after getting it."

Wang Yue touched Xiaochan's little head helplessly. This girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was still in high school at that time, and she got married very early here.

He also knew in his heart that this girl was probably his first-in-law, and she could also be considered his woman, so of course he couldn't treat her badly.

So, he smiled and said comfortingly, "I've prepared for your lady, so don't worry, this mirror is for you. Now can I tell my uncle, has anything happened to you?"

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Xiaochan remembered his own matter, and he said in a tangled tone, "Actually, it's not a big deal. My father is sick, and I don't know whether I should go back to see him."

Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead. In ancient times, was it not a big deal for his parents to get sick?

Seemingly seeing Wang Yue's doubts, Xiao Chan was afraid that Wang Yue would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I was sold to the Su family when I was 4 years old. Although he is my biological father, I really don't have a good impression of him. Shen, I only met him a few times when I grew up, and we rarely keep in touch with him."

Of course Wang Yue knew what this little girl meant. It probably meant that when her father sold it, the family relationship had actually been severed, so she felt a little helpless when her father was ill.

He thought about it for a moment, then quickly comforted him and said, "Uncle, I understand how you feel, but I think you should not do anything that will make you regret. Although your family sold you for money, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not for your own good. of."

Xiaochan looked at Wang Yue with her big cute eyes, and said with some confusion, "They have sold me and don't want me anymore. Is this still for me?"

Wang Yue thought about the various situations he encountered when buying people recently. He sighed and explained helplessly, "You also go out often. There are many people selling children and girls in Suzhou. Most of them are passing by." They couldn't go on anymore, and most wealthy families didn't accept adults, so they had no choice but to sell the children. But Xiaochan, you have to know that you are pretty and pretty now, and you were pretty cute when you were a child. If your parents were If I don't feel sorry for you at all, I will sell you into those brothels and brothels, and I will get more money in the future. Of course, in the eyes of your parents, you are indeed not as good as your brother, so you just need to listen to your instincts. Just divide it up. But there is nothing we can do about the issue of favoring sons over daughters, because in the eyes of the world, men are the ones who carry on the family line, and women are more at home caring for their husbands and raising children. Misses like yours have the opportunity to go out at will. , it’s really not much.”

Xiaochan understood what her uncle meant. She was afraid that she would not go back to visit her now that she knew about her illness, and would regret not seeing him for the last time in the future.

She was just a little slave, but Wang Yue comforted her so patiently. When she looked at Wang Yue again, there was something different in her eyes.

Just thinking of what Wang Yue once said, that after their young lady gave birth to a baby, she would not touch other women, she gave up that idea.

Xiaochan now felt that her uncle was so perfect, so she looked at Wang Yue with some fascination, and said with great reluctance, "Uncle, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow. I won't be able to serve my uncle these days. I need to take care of myself." "

Wang Yue looked at Xiaochan's reluctance to leave you. His heart moved and he thought about Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang coming to visit. He thought it would be better to go out of the city to escape, so he tentatively asked, "Xiaochan, your family Where are you from?"

Xiaochan didn't know why her uncle asked, and she didn't hide anything. She told the truth, "My home is in a small mountain village called Nanting below Runzhou. Why do you ask me this?"

Wang Yue recalled the Kan map drawn by his subordinates and immediately found the location of Nanting Village, which happened to be the intermediate station in the direction of Taihu Lake.

He escorted them all the way south. He had already wiped out and occupied some water bandits' lairs in Taihu Lake, and even bought the islands in the lake from the local government.

Originally, banditry was rampant there, and the local government had cracked down several times, but with little success. Now I see that someone is stupid enough to buy the island there with a lot of money, or it is a businessman from Jiangning. He agreed without even thinking about it. He was even worried that the buyer would regret it, so the process went very quickly.

Now that he has a territory, Wang Yue plans to use it as another base where he can not only train his navy but also hide a large number of his men.

The place is ready, but your men don't know how to build a ship. If you hire a craftsman, you will miss traces. The best way is for him to teach a group of people and then let them make it according to his requirements.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue coaxed Xiaochan and said, "Your uncle, I will accompany you back to your hometown. You also know that your uncle has very good medical skills, and I guarantee that he can cure the disease in person."
