The arrival of Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe opened up another way of making money for Wang Hengyue.
If you don’t make money, you won’t make it in vain!
After thinking about it, I decided to let Deng Xia and Peter's armed guards allocate some personnel to be responsible for the escort. Deng Xia, who repeatedly resisted the escort personally, must be cautious. Once you encounter bandits, you don't need to be polite.
He's a bitch!
Everyone can see that these days, Wang Bangdai has become red-eyed for money. Before the salt well can successfully extract salt, it will be the most difficult period for Wang Bangdai.
The top priority now is to open the arsenal as soon as possible. The cymbal top that Zhao Xi chose is indeed a pretty good place.
Zhao Xi not only provided money, but also had the reputation of being the leader of the Wang Gang. The craftsmen he summoned did not dare to neglect for a moment and rushed to build the factory day and night.
Although Du Charlie is a fake foreign devil, according to Qin Guangcheng, he has an excellent reputation when doing business, especially when dealing with people he thinks he can cooperate with, and he will not be negligent. I don't think there will be any big problems with the machine. But the machine
Even if it arrives, the technician is still a problem.
After much deliberation, I can only rely on Kleiman for the time being.
Counting the time, it was almost time for the second batch of weapons ordered by Clayman to be shipped. He called Peter and asked him to go to Chengdu. In addition to urging the weapons to be shipped as soon as possible, he also asked Clayman to find ways to help him find some weapons.
A technician comes back.
Peter agreed immediately, but said that this was some kind of extra work and that he had to be paid separately. Wang Hengyue couldn't help but laugh. These damn foreign devils didn't understand the world at all, and they only talked about money. He had no choice but to agree to Peter, and Peter was happy.
Rush to Chengdu.
"Sir, good news, good news!"
Just after finishing these things, I saw Chen Qifeng running over happily.
Wang Hengyue's eyes lit up: "Are you ready to produce salt?"
Seeing Chen Qifeng nodding excitedly, Wang Hengyue pulled Chen Qifeng and ran towards the salt well without saying a word.
Upon arriving at the scene, I saw Deng Yong waiting there with the salt workers.
Not only that, but the three "partners" Li Shenchun, Li Qizhang, and Long Dengjie also arrived.
As soon as he saw these three people, Wang Hengyue's good mood dropped a lot. I worked hard to raise money, buy machines, and open salt wells. I was very busy. These three people couldn't give out even one tael of silver, but they wanted more.
Divide half of my money?
But right now, the lifeline is in the hands of others, and my own power is not strong, so I can only hold back my anger for the time being.
"Sir!" Deng Yong came over: "The well was successfully opened, and we are going to draw brine today, so I invite you, sir, to come to Li County to draw the lottery!"
This lottery is also a ribbon cutting. Wang Hengyue was very excited. When he saw the machine covered with red cloth, he bowed his hand to Li Shenchun: "The Lord of Li County, please open the lottery in Li County!"
Li Shenchun was not polite. As soon as the machine started ringing, wealth was rolling in. Being an official for thousands of miles was just for money. Who would be an official if there was no money? Even though Wang Hengyue was just a soldier, he was really comfortable doing things. He immediately handed over his hand:
"How shameless!"
"When the red cloth is lifted, wealth will abound!"
Following Deng Yong's voice, Li Shenchun lifted the red cloth from the machine, and suddenly firecrackers exploded nearby.
Then Deng Yong arrived again: "Please give me some blessings from Director Li Qizhang!"
Li Qizhang also came over happily, picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and wrote a big word "财" on the machine.
"Please invite Mr. Long Dengjie Long to invite the God of Wealth!"
The God of Wealth is divided into civil and military gods. The Wen God of Wealth is Caibo Xingjun, which is used by ordinary people; the Wu God of Wealth, Guan Shengdijun, is the famous Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, and is mostly used by merchants.
Long Dengjie invited the statue of Wu Caishen, and another burst of firecrackers went off.
Wang Hengyue watched from the side and wondered, where did there come from so many rules for opening a salt well?
In fact, lifting the red cloth and writing the word "wealth" to invite the God of Wealth means "bonus is rolling in, eyes for wealth are wide open, and the God of Wealth is coming", which is essential for anyone who opens a salt well.
At this moment, Deng Yong called Wang Hengyue’s name again:
"The dividends are rolling in, your eyes for wealth are wide open, the God of Wealth is coming, please help Wang Hengyue to turn on the phone!"
This was what Wang Hengyue was most happy to hear. Under the leadership of Deng Yong, he came to the machine, pressed a switch in his hand, adjusted his breathing, and the machine began to rumble.
In an instant, all the firecrackers went off together, and the "cracking" sound was deafening.
With the completion of these ceremonies, the salt well was officially opened.
Deng Yong and Chen Qifeng had already prepared a banquet at the salt well. The cooks were specially invited from the best restaurants in Rong County.
A pavilion was set up next to it, with a table of wine inside, which was specially prepared for people like Wang Hengyue and Li Shenchun. The salt workers stayed far away and drank and ate beside it.
There were a lot of congratulations at the banquet. Li Shenchun and Li Qizhang were smiling happily. They toasted everyone and they became drunk after a while.
Long Dengjie seemed to have something on his mind. When someone came to propose a toast, he would barely raise his glass and sigh from time to time.
Wang Hengyue noticed these expressions, and while everyone was busy persuading people to drink, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Long seems to have something on his mind."
Long Dengjie winked, Wang Hengyue understood, and walked out on the pretext of relieving himself.
After a while, Long Dengjie also came out. Looking around and seeing no one around, he said, "Master Wang, there was a small misunderstanding with Master Wang earlier. Master Wang, please don't take it to heart."
Wang Hengyue was confused when he said such a sentence out of nowhere. Who would have thought that Long Dengjie's following words would surprise Wang Hengyue:
"Long Dengjie is here to thank Mr. Wang for saving Mr. Xiong Kewu's life!"
You Xiong Kewu, I should have known better than to save you! Wang Hengyue cursed in his heart. I saved your life with good intentions, but who would have thought that you would publicize this matter and make even Long Dengjie know about it?
, I must be in big trouble one day!
How could Long Dengjie have thought of Wang Hengyue's thoughts, and solemnly said: "Mr. Xiong is safe now. I have repeatedly asked Long Dengjie to thank Mr. Wang for saving his life. Mr. Wang, before, Long Dengjie didn't know that you are a human being, and his words were offensive.
This is the place where I can apologize to you again."
Wang Hengyue forced a smile.
"It's just that you can save Mr. Xiong, but you can't save Wang Songting."
It turned out that after the failure of the Guang'an Uprising, Wang Songting was defeated in eastern Sichuan. He was very unconvinced by this failure and planned to lie dormant for a period of time, sneak back to Leshan, regain his strength, and fight again.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Wanxian County, he was reported by a traitor and was arrested by the Wanxian County Police Station. He was severely tortured and died unyieldingly at the age of thirty.
Wang Hengyue put away his displeasure and sighed: "Brother, our abilities are really limited. We can save this one but not that one!"
