Ma Cheng, who received the first venture capital, was in a good mood. When leaving his mother, Ma Cheng went to find the housekeeper Ma Gui and informed him that he would go outside the city to select some laborers tomorrow. Now there are chaos in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and there are 20,000 to 30,000 refugees outside Fengyang City. This is a good laborer. Just give you a bite of food and you can work for you.

At the same time, Ma Cheng had a little thought. The two Huaihei have always been a place for elite troops. The Huaisi general group that Zhu Yuanzhang relied on to start his business back then was all from Fengyang. Tomorrow it was called to select labor. In fact, Ma Cheng wanted to select suitable personnel for his first armed forces.

Ma Cheng found Ma Gui and conveyed his mother Gu's meaning to him. Ma Gui was also surprised. One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Mr. Huang Renyu made an estimate that one tael of silver in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to three hundred to four hundred yuan in the later generations. However, when Huang Renyu wrote about the fifteenth year of Wanli, it was the 1980s. Can the 300 yuan at that time be compared with 2019? So it is converted into one tael of silver in 2019. One tael of silver in 2019 is about one tael of silver.

One thousand taels of silver is one million, which is not a small amount in later generations. You may not be able to do a factory, but you can still do a sugar-making workshop.

When Ma Gui heard Ma Cheng say this, he quickly bowed and asked, "Second Young Master, I understand. I will go to find the Second Young Master tomorrow morning!"

Ma Cheng and Ma Gui explained a few words and turned around and prepared to go back to his yard. I wonder how Gu Changwei was doing.

Turning a few yards, Ma Cheng happened to see Aunt Zheng walking over from the opposite side. Aunt Zheng saw Ma Cheng and quickly avoided him, and then Yingying bowed and said, "I have met the Second Master!"

Although Aunt Zheng was Ma Shiying's concubine and Ma Cheng's mother, she was different from later generations in the Ming Dynasty. The mistress could openly compete with the family property with the main wife. The concubine in the Ming Dynasty had no status at all. If she had not given birth to a man and half a woman, she would be swept out of the house when she was old. However, Aunt Zheng did not have this worry. She was very determined and gave birth to a concubine son Ma Xiong.

The alleys of this kind of back house are narrow, and Aunt Zheng stood aside and left a short road. Ma Cheng came to Aunt Zheng and smelled the fragrance of flowers on her body. Naturally, there was no perfume from later generations in the Ming Dynasty, but it was still possible to make petals into fragrances.

Ma Cheng couldn't help feeling a little confused when he smelled Aunt Zheng's fragrance of osmanthus.

Ma Cheng looked at the front and back and laughed in a low voice: "Aunt Zheng smells so good! What perfume do you use?"

It is logical that Ma Cheng would be rude to say this. Although Aunt Zheng’s status is not as good as Ma Cheng’s, she is Ma Cheng’s concubine after all, and it is inappropriate for Ma Cheng to say this. However, Aunt Zheng is not a good person. After hearing Ma Cheng’s words, she smells fragrant on her body. Although she doesn’t understand what perfume is, she still knows the general meaning.

Aunt Zheng smiled and said, "The second master is really good at joking. It's just the fragrance of osmanthus made by his own home!"

Ma Cheng looked up and down at Aunt Zheng. Aunt Zheng was not tall, only about 1.5 meters tall, which was considered to be the medium height of a woman in the Ming Dynasty. However, because she was born in a prostitute in Datong, Aunt Zheng was specially trained to seduce men when she was a child. So although she is thirty-five now, her every move is still full of different styles.

"Aunt Zheng, why are you going to come out for not resting at home at this time?" Ma Cheng asked lustfully.

"Second Master, I heard from the servants that the second master made the best white sugar, so I wanted to ask for a bowl and prepare some Wenxi cooked cakes for the third master." Aunt Zheng has a low status and even her own son cannot be called Daming, but San Master, and Maxi's mother is Gu.

Unexpectedly, the news in the mansion spread quickly enough. Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Aunt Zheng is going to go to my place to ask for some sugar? But I think the sugar I cooked is not white, it is far from Aunt Zheng's breasts!"

If Ma Cheng had a little too much in the previous sentence, this sentence had been really overwhelmed. If it were Ma Shiying's other concubine, Aunt Zhao, she would definitely push Ma Cheng back seriously. However, Aunt Zheng was originally a firework woman. She was favored by Ma Shiying when she was in Shanxi ten years ago. However, in the past ten years, Ma Shiying was demoted and returned to Nanjing. Aunt Zheng was suppressed by her wife Gu, and she had no chance to be with Ma Shiying in the past few years.

As the saying goes, thirty years old is like a wolf, forty years old, and sucking soil on the ground at fifty years old! Aunt Zheng is the age of a tiger and wolf, and can withstand loneliness? But Gu's family is too strict, so Aunt Zheng dares not attract bees and butterflies, so she has no choice but to use Mr. Jiao to comfort her loneliness.

Although Ma Cheng is not good-looking, he is a hand-carryman after all, so when Aunt Zheng heard Ma Cheng's teasing, she glared at Ma Cheng with her watery eyes, and then laughed in a low voice: "How does the Second Master know? Have you seen it?"

When Ma Cheng heard this, he had a chance, and there was no one now, so it would be better to have a good deal with this slut.

"Hehe, if Aunt Zheng doesn't believe me, you can let me see it. It would be better if I touch it!" After Ma Cheng said that, he put his hands deep into Aunt Zheng's arms and stroked it carefully.

Although Aunt Zheng is thirty-five, she is well maintained. Her chest is a little drooping, but it does not destroy the feel. Aunt Zheng is touched by Ma Cheng and said in a low voice: "Go to my house, there is no one there!"

Ma Cheng was also impatient and was about to pull Aunt Zheng to her house to accomplish a good thing, but he knew that a scream suddenly came from the other side of the wall.

This scream scared Aunt Zheng. If she seduced the second young master and was discovered, she would definitely be sold. Aunt Zheng was trained to please men when she was a child, without any life skills. She had to re-scan the old business after leaving the Ma family, but she was too old to be beautiful. No one wanted her in the big yard, so she could only go to the lowest prostitute village to make a living. When she thought that she was going to be pressed under the mud legs that were carrying life, Aunt Zheng was so scared that her face turned pale.

At this time, Aunt Zheng didn't care about her breasts being leaky, and quickly whispered to Ma Cheng: "Second Master, go and see who it is?"

Ma Cheng was also shocked when he heard the exclamation. If someone saw his concubine who was molesting his father, it would be over. He would still rely on Ma Shiying's own power to develop. What's going on now! Ma Shiying knew that he would definitely kill his relatives for justice!

The courtyard wall that made a sound was not high, only one meter high, and was planted with bamboo. I couldn't see the situation inside clearly, and I could only hear someone running inside. Ma Cheng didn't care about Aunt Zheng at this time, and he flipped over the courtyard wall with both hands and chased him down the sound. Aunt Zheng saw Ma Cheng chasing the man, and was so scared that he cleaned up and returned to his room and waited for the news nervously.

After Ma Cheng entered the bamboo forest, he found a figure shaking in front of him. He knew that this was the one who screamed. Ma Cheng quickly chased after him and captured the man when he was about to leave the bamboo forest.

At this time, Ma Cheng realized that the person who exclaimed was not an outsider, but his sister-in-law Zhang.

It turned out that Zhang came out of her mother-in-law Gu's house and returned to her house. She was very annoyed. For nothing else, it was because her mother-in-law was partial to handing over the property of her family to her uncle Ma Cheng.

Ma Shiying's family now has some wealth, but most of them are Gu's dowry, and the seven or eight shops in Nanjing are a considerable sum of money. Not to mention that Ma Shiying used his power to join Gu Congxin's industry to sell private salt. Zhang estimated that the Ma family earned at least about 5,000 taels of silver every year.

Zhang is the eldest daughter-in-law. Logically speaking, after Zhang's family, the mother-in-law should hand over the housekeeper's rights to Zhang. However, the mother-in-law had no good impression of Zhang. In addition, Zhang had only given birth to one daughter for almost ten years, which made the mother-in-law even more dissatisfied, so naturally the housekeeper's rights were gone.

Zhang was born in the Zhang family in Ningbo. Although he was not the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family's parents' house, Zhang Xinfang, the father of Zhang, was also a dignified juren. Therefore, Zhang received the most complete family education when he was a child and knew that the most important thing for a family was money, and it would never be possible without money.

However, Zhang's husband Ma Luan was obsessed with the imperial examinations and did not value these money and family property. In addition, Ma Luan is the eldest son. If Gu really is gone in the future, her dowry will definitely be Ma Luan's big head, so Zhang was not in a hurry before.

But today is different. Zhang knew that sugar is a big profit. Fengyang is a poor place. The price of sugar is low. However, in the wealthy Suzhou and Hangzhou, the sugar that Ma Cheng brought can definitely be sold at a good price.

Zhang saw that his mother-in-law Gu did not take the sugar-making technology into the public, but gave his uncle Ma Cheng a sum of money to develop himself. Will not all the profits of sugar be Ma Cheng alone in the future?

Zhang wanted to object, but she couldn't speak in front of her mother-in-law Gu, so she had no choice but to go back to her house to sulk. It just so happened that the weather was good today, so Zhang didn't bring a maid after leaving the house, and went to the small bamboo forest in the yard to relax alone.

But Zhang walked deep into the bamboo forest and heard something outside the wall. Zhang became curious and went to the wall to watch what was going on. But he saw Ma Cheng stroking Aunt Zheng’s chest.

This scared Zhang to death. Zhang adhered to Confucian education. Such a dirty thing happened before him. Zhang couldn't control himself and let out a scream, but he didn't expect that Ma Cheng could hear it.

Zhang knew that something was wrong, so he quickly ran back to the house, but Zhang was unable to walk with his feet and was caught by Ma Cheng before running twenty meters.

Ma Cheng didn't expect that such a person was his sister-in-law. Ma Cheng grabbed Zhang's arm and asked, "Why are you? What have you seen?"

Although Zhang's heart was beating wildly, he did not lose. Zhang scolded viciously: "What do you see? It is better to tease your father's concubine than to see you beast!"

"You... don't talk nonsense, she seduced me first!" Ma Cheng was definitely the ruthless guy who pulled the birds. Just now, he was obviously harassed Aunt Zheng, but now he wants to turn the tables.
