Chapter 890

Nie Dingnan was silent as he listened to the old man's words.

Li Qiufeng hid under the bed in the inner room, thinking to himself that this old man was indeed a great person. He led the Nie family for no apparent reason. He hid behind the three families of Lu, Zhao and Du. He not only controlled the four families in Fengmen Village,

The real power of the family has used the other three families as a shield to block arrows. Nie Laowu and others cannot see the stakes, and they are really stupid.

While he was thinking about it, he heard the old man continue to say: "Although we, the Nie family's children, have worked hard over the years, firstly, there is no fear of our lives, and secondly, we have never owed anyone money. Fifth, you every year

The example of the silver is twelve thousand taels? In addition, there are two houses in Kaifeng. I teach, drink tea, and travel around every day. How leisurely. I am afraid that the governor of Henan who is in charge of Kaifeng is not as good as you.

So carefree."

Nie Laowu laughed and said, "Uncle Nie is right. You take care of my nephew and add four thousand taels of silver to him every year."

The old man said: "Money is still a small matter. For example, the fifth child became a private school teacher, the sixth child sold peanuts, the seventh child healed horses, the eighth child opened a brick kiln, the ninth child sold livestock outside the customs, and the eleventh child opened a carpentry shop in Fenglingdu.

Lao Twelve opened a dye house in Ruyang. The other descendants of Dingzi generation also had a job. Because of this, when we sent people to various places to inquire about the whereabouts of the Xu family in the past few years, all the nephews and nephews of Dingzi generation avoided

In the past, the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du could not find any faults. When it came to the decisive battle in Haizhou, although our Nie family sent the largest number of people, they were all descendants of distant relatives. The three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du were elites.

Come on. Lao Wu, Lao Liu, Lao Seven, you might as well think about it, if you don’t show off your skills and just do a small business on weekdays, but you become an official and make a fortune, all of you will have unlimited glory, Haizhou

Can you not participate in the battle?"

Nie Laowu and others remained silent, obviously having no objection to what the old man said.

The old man continued: "Each of you has more than 10,000 taels of silver per year, and if you have a son at home, you will get an additional 3,000 taels. In a few years, each of you will have a fortune, and you will be able to enjoy everything you want.

Look at the three families of Lu, Zhao, and Du. Although there are forty or fifty of their descendants who want to be officials and get rich, the remaining one or two thousand people still have to work hard to make a living? Their average amount of money is 1,000 yuan per person per year.

It only costs a few hundred taels, and they have to fight life and death with the Xu family all the time. If they could trade with a few of you, I don’t know how happy they would be. Even if Hu Kun, Han Qusi and others are in high positions, they look good. But

The annual silver they pay to Qianyin Cave each year is 30,000 taels and 20,000 taels respectively, and the silver they have left in their hands is probably not much more than yours. Old Five, what else can’t you think of?"

Nie Laowu smiled and said: "Uncle Nie's lesson is right, my nephew will remember your old man's teachings. But my nephew didn't have any dissatisfaction at first. He just couldn't get used to the domineering appearance of the three children of Lu, Zhao and Du. Last year we closed the door.

During the village meeting, in addition to the Du family being respectful and courteous to our Nie family, Uncle Lu, Hu Kun and others all showed a sense of arrogance when they spoke. My nephew thought that our four families have been prosperous these years.

This situation is possible only because of Uncle Nie's foresight and good planning. Among other things, Uncle Nie purchased land and mulberry fields in the south of the Yangtze River more than 20 years ago. Nowadays, the annual land rent alone is worth 20 yuan.

We have an income of more than ten thousand taels of silver, not to mention mulberry fields and weaving factories. In the past hundreds of years, the five of us have been in confrontation with the Xu family and bribed comrades from all walks of life to work for us. The children of the five families were born, old, sick, and died, and most of their daily food and clothing depended on

With the money from Qianyin Cave. Although the ancestors of the past dynasties purchased land and set up pawn shops and silk and satin shops for the sake of the livelihood of their descendants, the descendants of the five families multiplied and more and more places used money. By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, only Qianyin

The gold, silver and jewelry in Qianyin Cave were actually unable to make ends meet, so we had to sell off some jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. After Uncle Nie took charge, not only did we make up for the deficit over the years, Qianyin Cave also accumulated tens of millions of silver. This time in the battle of Haizhou, of course,

It was Brother Dingzhong’s clever plan, but if Uncle Nie hadn’t spent 500,000 taels of silver to bribe the pirates to help, how could he have wiped out the Xu family in one fell swoop?”

When Li Qiufeng heard this, he was shocked. He thought that in order to deal with the Xu family, the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du spent huge sums of money to bribe pirates to help them. When he was on duty in the Jinyi Guards, he heard that he was sent to

Jin Yiwei, who was investigating the military situation on the southeast coast, mentioned that most of the pirates along the coast secretly colluded with the Japanese pirates and accepted their orders. No wonder the Japanese pirates would sneak into the Central Plains. In all likelihood, it was related to the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families who bribed pirates to encircle and suppress the Xu family.

.But what is the hatred between these five families and the Xu family, and they are not willing to collude with the Japanese pirates? There must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this matter.

The old man sighed, and then said: "Lao Wu's words are on point. Whether it's a river, a lake, or a temple, in fact, the principles of dealing with people are the same. Our five families are fighting with the Xu family.

Five or six hundred years ago, it was no different from the war between the two countries. Not only did you have to face the enemy openly on the battlefield, but you also had to use means such as spying, assassination, and bribery. And all these things, if there is no money, are you thinking?

Don’t even think about it. When we fight on the battlefield, we fight for money. When we fight with the Xu family, we also rely on money. The Xu family is sinister, vicious and extremely cunning. Since our Nie family became the leader of the five families, we have beaten the Xu family to shame.

Their armor was discarded and they were in dire straits. After these thugs were at the end of their rope, they actually colluded with the Japanese pirates and did not hesitate to become traitors to destroy our five families. I ask myself that in order to destroy the Xu family, I have indeed done some things against my will, but in this life

, there is one thing that you must not do. Do you know what it is?"

Nie Laowu said: "I would like to listen to Uncle Nie's teachings."

Just listen to the old man say word for word: "You must not be a traitor!"

Nie Dingnan and others said in unison: "Yes, we will follow the instructions carefully."

Li Qiufeng didn't have a good impression of the old man at first, but he was quite shocked when he heard what he said so righteously. He thought to himself that although the old man was cunning, he had not forgotten that he was a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and he had no fault in important matters.

.But when he thought about this, he suddenly remembered that Nie Laowu had just said that the old man spent five hundred thousand taels of silver to bribe pirates to deal with the Xu family, and he couldn't help but doubt the old man again.

Just listen to the old man say: "After we found out that the Xu family colluded with the Japanese pirates, we knew that we had reached a critical moment of life and death. Although we and the Xu family have hundreds of years of hatred, we are all Han people after all. No matter how much we say, we cannot take advantage of the Japanese pirates. Once

The Xu family introduced Japanese pirates into the Central Plains, and both sides cooperated internally and externally. It was not only our five families who suffered, but I was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to live in peace from now on. After discussing with Dingzhong, I decided to use the Japanese pirates to deal with the Xu family. Those Japanese pirates were extremely greedy, and not only wanted

I had my hands on the Ming Dynasty, and I wanted to plunder the money of the Han people. So I spent 500,000 taels of silver to persuade the Japanese pirate leader to strike back at the critical moment. The Xu family did not expect that the Japanese pirates would suddenly turn against each other and panic.

, then he fell into our trap and ended up being exterminated.

"Now that the Xu family has been destroyed, the Japanese pirates are so heartless that they not only took our five hundred thousand taels of silver, but also wanted to expand their power to Henan. Hey, it's just that although their Qingqiu Dream is good, they don't know

We have long thought of ways to deal with them. This time the Japanese pirates rushed to Henan in large numbers, thinking that they would be successful. We had already laid the trap, but because the leader of the Japanese pirates had not yet arrived, we hid it.

These Japanese pirates are too vicious. They don’t know where Wujiguan, Xiaoyaoguan, and Kongming Temple offended them, but they were burned to ashes by the Japanese pirates. At present, the Japanese pirates have gathered inside and outside Xiuwu County, although they are already under our surveillance.

, but we need to beware that these Japanese pirates have other plans, and we cannot be careless for a moment. After the Japanese pirate leader arrives, we will wipe out all these Japanese pirates. Only then can we sit back and relax."

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more frightened he became, and he finally understood why the Japanese pirates would sneak into the Central Plains. It turned out that these Fusang people wanted to use the opportunity of helping the five families in Fengmen Village to eliminate the Xu family to enter the Central Plains in large numbers. If this conspiracy was realized, these Japanese pirates would sneak into the Central Plains and the Southeast

The coastal areas are in chaos at the same time, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. Fortunately, the Nie family does not really want to cooperate with the Japanese pirates, and is preparing to eliminate them in one fell swoop. From this point of view, no matter what hatred the Nie family has against the Xu family, they must help

The Nie family will lend a helping hand to get rid of the Japanese pirates first.
