Chapter 10 Agreed
"Shopkeeper, bring the best wine and food to a table." Sun Yu didn't hesitate. He didn't know how to order, so he just put the best food on the table.
"Hey, okay, your distinguished guest will be here soon, please sit down." The shopkeeper was delighted. This is a big order, and the income is good today.
In a short time, the food and wine were served, and Sun Sandao hurriedly got up to pour the wine.
"Brother Sun, please be cool. I, Old Cheng, would like to toast you a drink." Cheng Zhenbei was familiar with Sun Yu. Since he regarded Sun Yu as a friend, he naturally let it go and drank a lot in no time.
"Brother Cheng, you are skilled in martial arts, but what are your plans for the future?" In Sun Yu's opinion, this Cheng Zhenbei, a solid general-type talent, also has some connections in his family, so how come he hangs out in the market all day long.
"Hey, the world is difficult. I, Old Cheng, also want to make contributions and achieve great achievements, but I can't stand the dirty atmosphere." Old Cheng looked up to the sky and drank it all in one gulp, saying angrily. Since the six states in Jiangbei were lost, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the
There has been peace in the north for many years, but the army has also deteriorated greatly.
Cheng Zhenbei used to be a captain of the guards, but the military camp was severely corrupt and various supplies were severely deducted. For this reason, Cheng Zhenbei led his brothers to make trouble many times, and was disliked by the military envoys. He found an opportunity to give him
It was idle. Cheng Zhenbei was so angry that he went home and wandered around all day long. Because of their overwhelming fighting power, the green-skinned gangsters in the south of the city were much more honest.
"Brother Sun, please don't look down on me, Old Cheng." Old Cheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Cheng, if it's just like this all day long, it probably won't be a problem. I'd like to give Brother Cheng a suggestion. You might as well set up a gang to maintain order, clean up the streets, and then find businesses to collect some tribute. Firstly, you can supplement your family income, and secondly, you can also
Find a decent job for those people to avoid chaos." At this time, there is no urban management in Jiangning Mansion, so Sun Yu wants to instigate Lao Cheng to come out. If this is done well, it is another matter whether it is money or not. Jiangning Mansion
The big and small movements will definitely not be hidden from my own ears and eyes, but I am afraid it will be a little difficult for the government.
"Brother Sun, this method seems feasible, but this Jiangning Mansion is the property of the powerful. For example, the Sun Ji Pawn in the east of the city is the property of your Duke of Lu's Mansion. I, Old Cheng, dare to go and collect filial piety?" Jiang Ning
There are so many powerful people in the government, how can an idle person stand up? He can only fight, but if he really offends the powerful people, his family connections cannot protect him.
Seeing that Lao Cheng was a little moved, Sun Yu put together his thoughts. If he really came to collect fees, would he be willing to do so?
It will definitely not work. But if you open the door to do business, if there are green skins, beggars and other people lingering at the door, or there is garbage on the ground in front of the door, then your business will definitely be affected. It is not worth reporting these things to the official, and it may cost money.
How much. But if you pay a small fee to Lao Cheng, it is guaranteed that this will not happen, and there must be many merchants who are willing to do so. As for the government, although the Duke of Lu has no real power, after all, he is still a first-class dignitary, as long as he does not go too far.
, I guess it won’t be too difficult.
"Brother Sun, this is inappropriate. Although my brother is not very promising at the moment, he can't really do this for the rest of his life." In Xiaoya's opinion, dealing with green-skinned people all day long will make him useless sooner or later, and his ambition is nothing.
The enemy's general.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoya. As long as you stay on the right track, you can just pick someone to manage you. I am also determined to join the army, but Brother Cheng must also know that I can't do anything without money. In less than two years, I will be in the army.
Stand firm. If Brother Cheng is determined, you might as well join us." He is determined to enter the military camp. With his background, two years is enough to become a military envoy. If it is done properly, the commander is not delusional. This is not a delusion.
If you have a strong general type of talent, you will naturally have many subordinates and be good at it. Take advantage of them when they are at their lowest point and win over their hearts.
"Okay, since Brother Sun thinks highly of me, I, Old Cheng, will take a gamble." Cheng Zhenbei was in a period of confusion when Sun Yu suddenly appeared and pointed out a broad road. There was no reason to refuse. In Old Cheng's view, this
Brother Sun is of noble birth and has outstanding martial arts skills. If he really joins the army, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes famous. He, his father, has been demoted. If he is still in the Ministry of Revenue, he will not dare to deprive himself if he gives those people some courage.
Sun Yu is a high-ranking official, and when he enters the military camp, who dares to deduct his military pay?
"Okay, Brother Cheng, let's drink this cup to the full." Sun Yu was quite happy. The gang has done it. It is also a force that cannot be ignored in Jiangning Mansion.
"Now that you have entered the Young Master's family, just call me Lao Cheng from now on." Although Lao Cheng looks rough and arrogant, he also has a careful side. Since he has decided to board the ship of the Duke's Palace, it would be inappropriate to call him brother-in-law with Sun Yu.
, it’s better to decide on your name early.
"Okay, Lao Cheng, just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just ask." Sun Yu liked Lao Cheng more and more as he looked at him. He was brave and straightforward, rough in detail.
"Well, in the early stage, we have to find some brothers to support the facade. I'm afraid it will cost a lot." Cheng Zhenbei felt a little embarrassed, but since he was starting a gang, he had to have a venue and brothers.
It's all money. Since he is seeking refuge with the Duke's government, he can't pay for it himself, and besides, he doesn't have that much money.
Sun Yu agreed and promised five thousand taels of silver, and he would come to the house to pick it up tomorrow. After everything was agreed upon, the next step was to exchange cups for cups, which was very lively. Xiaoya also raised her glasses frequently, her brother would have a good future.
, more important than anything else.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Sun Yu returned to the mansion. When he walked near the east courtyard, a melodious sound of the piano came. Although he did not understand the instrument, he could still hear the artistic conception. Sun Yu stopped the maid who was about to go in to report, and walked straight into the courtyard.
We walked over. As expected, it was girl Qing'er who was sitting in the pavilion playing music. She looked like a fairy in a long green dress under the moonlight.
"Qing'er has met your husband, but have you made trouble with him?" When Qing'er saw Sun Yu approaching, she stopped her fingers and stood up to salute.
"I never thought that you, Qing'er, could be so good at playing the piano. It's a pity that I don't know the music, so I can't play a piece with you." Sun Yu was a little regretful. He studied literature when he was young, and later practiced martial arts with his master. However, he didn't know anything about the music.
"My husband is a man who does great things, and his music is no better than trivial music. If your husband likes it, he will come here to listen to me playing in your free time, and I will... be so happy." Hearing Lang Jun's praise, Qing'er said to herself
I am happy. If he can come and listen to me play often, what else can I ask for?
"As a husband... Well, if you don't know the music, let's talk about something else. How does Qing'er view the general trend of the world?" You have to find something to talk about. Since you don't know the music, let's change to something you are good at.
"I am a first-class female, how dare I say these things? All I have to do is do my duty." Qing'er nodded and replied. Most of her childhood memories were in Wenxiang Pavilion, and she had no contact with anyone except the women in the building.
Although I have heard a little about this important national event, how can I compare it with Lang Jun?
"It doesn't matter. You and I are just chatting at home. It doesn't matter."
"Although our dynasty is now singing and dancing, the north is watching with eager eyes. If war breaks out again, I'm afraid..." A few years ago, the Northern Zhou Dynasty defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty and ceded the entire Jiangbei in exchange for a short-term peace. Although the dynasty has changed now, the Northern Song Dynasty emperor is also
Born as a soldier, he will definitely be a difficult person to deal with.
"Yes, it seems that the world is peaceful, but wars can come at any time. People in troubled times are not as good as dogs. If you want to protect yourself in troubled times, you have to do something yourself." Since Qing'er also knows that the world is not really peaceful.
