Salt Courtyard, front courtyard.
Jia Qiang held a stack of drawings in his hand and talked to three honest men with dark and rough skin.
I don’t know what I said, but I communicated for two or three hours.
At first, the three men were still frightened and dared not speak.
But when he saw the nobles just asking them about the blacksmith's skills and there was nothing else, he gradually relaxed his guard and started discussing.
It's interesting to say that if Jia Qiang planned it was a heavy industry, then most of the craftsmen in Yangzhou would not be able to match it.
But what he asked was crude and simple, and the only thing that was sophisticated was that he put some skill in the fine joints.
This is not a difficult task for Yangzhou blacksmiths, who have always done fine work for rich salt merchants.
At the end of his breath, Jia Qiang said warmly: In terms of craftsmanship, it should not be too difficult.The key tasks need to be carefully done, and you must follow my drawings, which is almost the same.
Even if a civilian boiler has problems with pressure, it will explode.
But just pay attention to several details and don’t burn the water dry, and it’s basically safe.
Jia Qiang even made a transformation in his previous life, and he should use it when drying cloth in a civilized way, so remember to be detailed.
The three old blacksmiths nodded repeatedly and said: I must not delay the affairs of the uncle!
Jia Qiang nodded and said: First, withdraw fifty taels of silver, if not enough, then take it.No matter what you need or any troubles, you can come to your door.I have used you a lot in the future, so don’t be polite.Butler Wang...
Mr. Wang is an old man from the Salt Government Office. He followed the Lin family twenty years ago. However, the Lin family is in a clean and upright manner, so it is not as rampant as the Lai family in the Jia family.
Besides, I have seen Jia Qiang turn against him, so I hurriedly said: Since my brother has given orders, there is no problem.
The three old blacksmiths were naturally overjoyed when they heard this and hugged the thighs of the Salt Courtyard, so that life would be better in the future.
After the three of them left, Jia Qiang was about to return to the small study when he saw Li Jing coming in from the side door, with two Jinsha Gang members behind him.
However, seeing Jia Qiang was in the vestibule, Li Jing's solemn and cold expression immediately melted, and she stepped forward and smiled: Why are you here?
Jia Qiang smiled and said: I just agreed on some small matters... I patted her on the shoulder with some dust stained on her shoulder, and said: You have been working hard all these days, why bother like this?I'm not in a hurry.
The two of them walked in while talking.
Li Jing laughed softly and said: We have just come to Yangzhou. If we only travel for one trip, we will naturally not be in a hurry.But I have great ambitions in my heart, so I can't help, unlike Miss Lin.I just want to collect more reliable people and be a witness for me.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: That's all, it's a great help.But what are the results?
Speaking of serious matters, Li Jing lowered her smile and said seriously: I have visited many old friends of my father these days, but unfortunately some of them are no longer as loyal as my father said, and have become thugs raised by other families.Some are already old and some are still dying of old age, while others are still quitting their hands and quit... Fortunately, they finally met two.They are all good friends my father made when he ran to Jiangnan twelve years ago. One is a nickname, a white-tie Zhang Shun, and the other is a nickname, a dwarf of Yangzhou, Sun Yan...
etc!
Jia Qiang had a black thread and said: I will recognize the white strips in this wave. Another one is called the Drum Flea. Just think they are fascinated by Water Margin. Why are they still called the Drum Flea in Yangzhou?
Li Jing giggled: If they weren't for such a lonely temperament, they would have been coaxed away by the salt merchants.Now Uncle Zhang and his two apprentices are taking advantage of a boat to make a living in the river, and no one will be asked to do so.When he encountered a black householder who robbed merchants on the waterway, he took action with justice.If he hadn't had his high-quality skills and his experience in the world, he would have been hurt by others in recent years.It was only because my father accidentally saved his mother back then that he became a brother who would not change his head.In his early years, his father invited him to Beijing to join the Jinsha Gang, but he was worried that he would not adapt to the local conditions, so he was delayed.Later, I saw his mother off, but I had no face to go to Beijing to bother my father.Now that I heard that my father came to Jiangnan, he still wanted him to help, how could he be irresponsible?
Jia Qiang heard that he really had a bit of loyalty among the wild animals and asked with a smile: What about the white stripes in this wave?
Li Jing's expression changed slightly, and she sighed: This man from the martial arts world still doesn't want to enter the official school.He said that when my father lived alone in the villa, he immediately came to visit him.
Seeing Li Jing looking at him carefully, Jia Qiang was not annoyed and said with a smile: You are really a stubborn person... If you go and tell him, you will say that your father was too seriously injured and could not be moved for the time being.Secondly, the court will abolish the Salt Administration Office.No, the emperor's decree has been issued. Although the salt administration order is temporarily implemented here, it is no longer considered a yamen.If he still refuses to come, then forget it.As long as you are willing to obey your orders, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not.What about the fleas on the drum in Yangzhou?
When talking about this person, Li Jing couldn't help but smile and said: I must not guess that this Yangzhou Drum Flea is actually a woman.
woman?
Jia Qiang was really surprised because the flea on the drum was a thief!
Li Jing smiled happily, but she pulled the corners of her mouth again, lowered her head and said softly: She is the madam in a brothel in Nancheng, Yangzhou. My father and she were back then...
Jia Qiang tsk and said, "Well, her ability, could she be stealing peaches in a brothel?"
Li Jing heard Jia Qiang's contempt and displeasure and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong. If she is really a madam who harms people in an ordinary brothel, how dare I mention her to dirty my ears?"
Jia Qiang said curiously: In addition to beating and scolding women to pick up customers, this madam has other skills?
Li Jing smiled and said: Others run brothels, but most of the buildings are beautiful girls.But the brothel she runs is all forty years old and is extremely ugly.As expected, Sun Yan accepted it.But as far as I inquired, I have not taken over a single deal since the brothel opened.
Jia Qiang said with a strange expression: Then, how do they live?
Li Jing giggled and said: This Yangzhou Prefecture is the most strange place. Other places hold beauty pageants. Yangzhou Prefecture is tired of beauty pageants. It has started to hold ugly competitions a few years ago. Those who win the championship can win a hundred taels of gold.Sun Yan's men are the top three every year!However... As she said that, the smile on her face gradually faded away, showing a touch of tragic look, which made Jia Qiang new, and then she heard her slowly say: This two hundred taels of gold is not enough for so many of them to eat and use medicine.
Jia Qiang frowned and said: So many people, use medicine for meals?
Li Jing said: I thought my father was not so good back then, but after learning about Sun Yan, I realized why his father was still thinking about her good deeds. She was obviously just a common person... You don’t know that Sun Yan runs a brothel, but the girls he picked up were either disabled or abandoned babies, or some ugly and extremely homeless ugly women.How can you choose ugly gold with just that little bit of money?So, Sun Yan picked some smart girls and taught them the trick of stealing.But there are also rules that are to never steal from poor people, and the amount of stealing at one time is not allowed to exceed one hundred taels, so as not to cause a major disaster.They just want to survive, not to make money.It is thanks to this rule that they have lived safely for so many years.However, I can't continue to be happy...
When Jia Qiang heard this, he calmed down his face and said: Why is this?Could it be that I often walk by the river and finally meet a water ghost?
Li Jing smiled bitterly and nodded: Sun Yan... Now I call her Aunt Sun. When she heard that my father was coming, she recognized this relative... Aunt Sun had a proud disciple named Sun Qin. Because she was robbed by the eldest son of the Qi family in Yangzhou Prefecture during the stealing, she was taken down by a good man around him on the spot.Originally, she wanted to send her official position, but the eldest son of the Qi family recognized her makeup.After washing, she fell in love with her at first sight and forced her to be a roommate.Aunt Sun has asked for many ways but she can't open the golden mouth of the eldest son of the Qi family. Now she learned that my father and I are in the Salt Administration Office, she recognizes our relatives on the spot.He also said that as long as we don’t dislike it, she will be the witness of us in Yangzhou Prefecture, and she can inquire about any information, just ask us to rescue the person from the eldest son of the Qi family.
Jia Qiang asked: What's the name?
Li Jing hurriedly said: Call me Sun Qin!Master, look...
Jia Qiang nodded and said: I understand this. You go see your father first and talk to him about these two people.I'm going to go to the banquet tonight, and it seems that there are people from the Bai family in the host.Then I will ask.
Li Jing was overjoyed, but before she could say anything, Xueyan ran over panting and said to Jia Qiang: Mr. Qiang, our girl is calling you to talk!
……
Zhongluan, Ziming, Zixun and Yuan Cheng, don’t bring out the courtesans you invited.Since we want to give the visitors to the capital a little decent, it’s better to go to Mingyue Boat.I have sent someone to take this boat, and after half an hour, I will go there together.I invited some other famous scholars to come, and there must be plenty of scenes.
In Pingshan Hall, a young man sitting in the main seat, who was obviously a few years older than Xu Zhen and the other four, suddenly spoke.
Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and said, "Brother Qi, that Jia Qiang is a noble child from the capital. Like us, he has no fame."The courtesan of Mingyuefang, Liu Mingyue, has always been with famous poets like Brother Qi. For example, Ziming and I, even if I give 10,000 taels of silver, she may not be willing to pay attention to it.If she is here to accompany her tonight, what if Jia Qiang sees her beautiful appearance and touches her and kisses her, then Miss Mingyue spits on him again, wouldn’t it be a bad thing?
The eldest brother Qi that Xu Zhen mentioned was Qi Yun, the eldest son of Qi Wanmin, the head of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.His commoner Qi Yan is Xu Zhen's good friend Ziming.
After hearing Xu Zhen’s words, Qi Yun said unhappily: Zhongluan, although this host is to welcome Jia Qiang, who will Miss Mingyue sit with? Of course, she will be the leader of the poem.Furthermore, Miss Mingyue is a pure servant, so don’t use those dirty words to mess with her.Could it be that people like me who are still going to commit the crime of forcing women?
When Xu Zhen heard this, his expression was playful. He blinked and said with a smile: Since Brother Qi has spoken, how dare I refuse to obey?Today, Brother Qi will be the main focus.Ziming and I will just fight back.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun looked at his incompetent concubine brother with contempt and shouted: "You're not going to disperse all the hard-working ghosts you invited!"
