Chapter 71: Move
Everyone held Wu Nian and did not offend him, so they stayed away from him. The banquet was quite delicious. Everyone exchanged cups and the wind blew the clouds, so they ate the dishes at the banquet.
Although Wu Nian did not collect money, he ate the most. People who practice martial arts consumed a lot.
Especially as his body becomes stronger and stronger, Wu Nian's appetite increases and has the potential to become a bucket of rice.
After Wu Nian put down his chopsticks, Chen Jinshi stood up and smiled and said, "Come on, brothers, come with me to the main hall to have a tea."
"Okay."
Li Kun and Zhu Xiaoqi responded together, and followed Chen Jinshi to the main hall to sit down. Soon after, a maid came in with a teacup and placed it on the coffee table one by one.
Wu Nian picked up the teacup and took a sip, raised his eyebrows and said, the tea was OK.
"This is before the rain. Lord General Banner really enjoys it." Wu Dangkoo's eyes lit up. After drinking a few more sips, he put it down, looking like a rich and wealthy countryside.
Before the rain, Longjing is common in the south of the Yangtze River, but not in the north. Even fewer people transported to Liaodong. There are not many people who can afford this small tea.
Li Kun smiled slightly, and drank tea with his posture. The other small flags couldn't wait to taste it, looking the same as Wu Dangkoo.
Chen Jinshi showed a look of pride on his face, but he said modestly: "It was before the rain. It was just before the rain last year. I bought a pound to fill the storefront."
"Even before the rain last year, it was before the rain. I don't drink it a few times a year." Wu Dangkoo shook his head and said sincerely.
After everyone finished the cup of tea, Chen Jinshi asked the maid to come in and rinse the hot water again.
"Brothers, I'll tell you something." Chen Jinshi looked up at everyone, put down the teacup in his hand, and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter?" Li Kun asked curiously.
There is no need to be an opposition between the general flag and the general flag. He and Cheng Gao have mostly personal grudges, and there is no grudge with Chen Jinshi, and both sides are harmonious.
Everyone, including Wu Nian, also raised their ears and waited for the following text.
"I got some news. The situation in Liaodong is not very optimistic at the moment. The Mongolian and Yuan people are getting stronger and stronger. If they go south this year, they may hit us."
Chen Jinshi shook his head and sighed.
"Beishan Fort is so far behind. If the Mongols and Yuan people attacked us, wouldn't Liaodong be almost going to fall?"
"Does more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong have vegetarian food?" Wu Dangkou said in surprise.
"Yes. The situation ahead is really so miserable?"
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. We have to prepare early."
The little flags' faces became serious and they whispered to each other.
"We are right. We need to prepare early. If the Mongols and Yuan people really break through Liaodong, we can only run south, run into Shanhaiguan, and live near Jingji."
"People can leave, but property can leave. But the land and houses cannot leave. I have already started selling the land of the Chen family in Beishan Fort and the county town."
"Today, I'm going to remind you of my brothers."
Chen Jinshi showed a look of pride on his face, he picked up the teacup and started drinking it.
During this period, he quietly sold a lot of the land at home one after another.
He got a bargain for this matter.
After these small bannermen returned, they began to sell land and shops in large quantities, which would lead to a drop in prices and a lot of property.
After listening to Chen Jinshi's analysis, the little flags were a little panicked. Everyone is an official and is good at land annexation. Who doesn't have a land of one or two hundred acres?
If this land is worthless, wouldn’t it take their lives?
Li Kun picked up the teacup, looked at Chen Jinshi's face while drinking tea, and said in his heart: "This guy is betting that Liaodong will definitely be over. He has made up his mind to retire from Shanhaiguan and live again."
"At that time, all the defeated soldiers retreated. After the Mongols and Yuan people occupied Liaodong, their troops would be stronger. The court had to recruit soldiers. This guy was a military household for generations and a general bannerman. He could use his strength to get a hundred households and a thousand households. He was really a scheming and conspiring person."
“Should I sell it?”
Li Kun hesitated in his heart. If everyone was sure that Liaodong would be defeated by the Mongols, then he could only sell the land at a low price.
But on the other hand, if the imperial court defended Liaodong by more than 100,000 troops, then the land would still be very valuable.
This is a gamble.
Li Kun looked up at Wu Nian. This brother was not only fierce, but also had many ghost ideas. He was slightly stunned. Wu Nian drank in small sips with a teacup. He was as stable as Mount Tai, calm and composed.
"He must have an idea in his heart, so he will ask him later." Li Kun calmed down, raised his right leg and placed it on his left leg, crossing his legs and swinging leisurely.
In fact, he was also a little afraid of Wu Nian.
This brother is really fierce.
But this brother is really reliable.
Following this brother, you won’t suffer a big loss.
Chen Jinshi looked at the expressions of fear or worry and smiled slightly. This was also a kind of show of power. It proved that there was someone above him and was well-informed.
Chen Jinshi soon noticed Wu Nian's expression, and his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
This guy is so calm.
Wu Nian and Li Kun conspired to swallow up five hundred acres of land in Beishan Fort. This is an open secret. As one of the few landlords in Beishan Fort, Wu Nian should be worried and afraid.
but.
Why is he not worried, why is he not afraid?
Chen Jinshi was very unhappy, but he quickly calmed down. He was going to find fault with Wu Nian today.
He paused for a moment, watched, and listened to the little flags whispering about the land, and after the topic faded.
Chen Jinshi suddenly turned around and asked Wu Nian: "Wu Xiaoqi. I heard that you have recruited Zhang Jin from Phoenix Mountain as your family soldier?"
Wu Nian was a little confused. Isn’t this a matter that has been made public?
Wu Nian glanced at Chen Jinshi and smelled a little danger. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"It is rumored that Zhang Jin killed someone for his friend and was a capable and loyal person. Can Wu Xiaoqi send someone to call him up to open our eyes."
Chen Jinshi smiled and said without a smile.
He had never thought about killing Wu Nian, but just wanted to hit Wu Nian's arrogance and establish his prestige as a small banner.
This time he was prepared for a long time, just to knock Zhang Jinhui down.
Wu Nian frowned slightly, but soon stretched out and said happily: "What's the matter? Zhang Jin is outside, and Mr. Chen asked the butler to take him in."
He didn't know what Chen Jinshi was going to do, but he had nothing to be afraid of.
