I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The generals went down to prepare, while Wang Dafu took some letters and handed them over to Wu Changqing.

After simply reading these letters, Wu Changqing was a little scared.

Fortunately, the war ended quickly, otherwise these businessmen who wanted to please the Qing court would make some small moves behind their backs, which would be quite disgusting. Not to mention a big move like attacking the city gate, even setting a few fires in the city to create riots can bring great trouble to the Ming army.

But now, these letters are treasures to Wu Changqing.

After the expansion of the army, he was worrying about the army's pay for the next month. As a result, the wealthy businessmen presented this gift. If the homes of these five wealthy businessmen were seized, at least three or four million taels of silver could be obtained, which was enough for the army to spend two or three months.

"Don't worry, wait for the people from my hometown to come over."

Wu Changqing arranged that these people's homes must be copied, but what happens after they are copied?

The business of these five merchants involved cloth, pawnshops, grain and oil and other daily necessities, and they copied their homes at one time, and they had to find someone to take over these industries immediately.

Only by maintaining the normal operation of these industries can people's lives not be affected.

It is impossible for Wu Changqing to hand over so many industries to Chen Daolin, lest his family become bigger and become a monopoly.

Therefore, Wu Changqing is waiting for people from his hometown in Shaoxing to come and take over these businesses.

After he promised Chen Daolin's marriage, he sent someone to Shaoxing to inform his mother and clan.

It's a bit inappropriate for him to make his own decisions about marriage matters. However, in a chaotic world, there is no way to do this. You can't have a family because your parents and elders are not around.

If you count the days, there should be people coming from your hometown.

The next day, Wu Changqing met his uncle Wu Zhiyue and others.

In fact, the Wu family had already arrived in Suzhou, but at that time it happened that Liu Liangzuo's army was besieging Suzhou, and Wu Zhiyue and his party could not get in, so they stayed in Wujiang County.

It wasn't until yesterday that they heard the news of the Ming army's great victory that their team set off again and came to Suzhou in a mighty manner.

After all, it was a major event like Wu Changqing's marriage, and the Wu family brought many items and personnel.

Originally, Mrs. Liao, Wu Changqing's mother, wanted to come to Suzhou in person, but because of the war, her family was very dangerous on the road, so she had to give up.

"Second uncle."

Wu Changqing recognized Wu Zhiyue according to his original memory.

"Risheng, you have grown taller and stronger, and you have become a famous general. It's amazing."

Wu Zhiyue patted Wu Changqing on the shoulder and said with relief.

Now Wu Changqing is amazing. Not only has he won the battles one after another, but because he did not shoot and kill people on the battlefield, he was proclaimed by the surviving people as a good general and a great hero who loves his people like a son.

This kind of reputation has almost spread to the surrounding areas of Suzhou.

Wu Zhiyue was both surprised and happy that Wu Changqing could achieve such an achievement.

"Is my mother all right now?"

Wu Changqing asked.

Wu Zhiyue sighed when he heard the words, and said, "When I heard that my eldest brother died for the country, my sister-in-law cried bitterly for two days, and then she worried about your safety every day. Until King Lu sent someone to his home to reward his sister-in-law, we Only then did I know that you were safer for the time being after winning the battle, and my sister-in-law was a little relieved.

Later, when you sent someone to your home to tell you about your marriage, your sister-in-law was both happy and angry, blaming you for not discussing such a big matter with her. Originally, she wanted to find one for you in Shaoxing, but she had no choice but to do so. "

"I am also helpless. I am alone here and have no helpers. I must get some outsiders' support through marriage."

Wu Changqing said.

"We naturally understand this, so this time I brought some young talents from the clan to help you."

"Are there any people who are good at doing business? I need to copy the homes of a few wealthy businessmen now, and then I need people to take over their business, maintain normal operations, and prevent chaos in the market."

"Of course there is."

The Wu family is both a landlord and a businessman in Shaoxing. Many members of the family are involved in the business of cloth and tea.

While they were still negotiating, the housekeeper came over and reported that it was Tang Yu who asked to see him.

What is Tang Yu coming to do?

Wu Changqing was a little curious, this guy was also the one who had written letters with Liu Liangzuo, and he was about to use this guy for an operation.

"Bring him here."

Wu Changqing said.

Later, Tang Yu came to the hall, and there was a veiled woman with him. As soon as he entered the door, Tang Yu knelt down to Wu Changqing and shouted that he should be damned.

The reason why Tang Yu would take the initiative to come to confess his guilt was because of his intricate network of relationships, that he learned that Wu Changqing had obtained those letters and was planning an action.

Tang Yu, who got this news, knew that he was finished, and I was afraid that he would be stopped even when he left the city.

In desperation, he chose to take the initiative to plead guilty and ask for forgiveness.

"Oh, what is the shopkeeper Tang doing? What's your fault?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"I was confused at the next moment and was afraid of the power of the Qing court. So I wrote a letter to Liu Liangzuo before the war, trying to unite Liu Liangzuo to do evil.

Caomin is willing to offer all his family property, and also offer my niece to serve the general, hoping that the general will be generous and spare the next family. "

Tang Yu said and lifted the veil of the woman, revealing a delicate face.

The woman looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looks pretty

Liang, but she was trembling a little at this time, and seemed to be very nervous.

Wu Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he learned of Tang Yu's intention.

He didn't expect Tang Yu to come over and confess his guilt actively, which disrupted his plan a bit. However, this is not a bad thing for Wu Changqing.

At this stage, the stability of the ruling area is the most important thing, and it is easy to make other businessmen panic.

Tang Yu took the initiative to donate his family property, so he could copy one less family, anyway, all he wanted was money. As for Tang Yuzhong's infidelity, this Wu Changqing really doesn't care much.

Just a small businessman with a little money, he can't turn the sky even if he jumps around. Just like this battle with Liu Liangzuo, even if Tang Yu wanted to help the Qing army, he didn't have the strength.

What's more, after he donated his property, he was even more incapable of resisting.

"You should be familiar with Liu Shizao, Wang Langning and others. Do they have other assets besides the shops on the bright side?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"This grasshopper knows that he will definitely assist the general to check, and he will never miss a penny or a tael."

Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said, this is an opportunity for him to sell his friends for life.

After all, Wu Changqing's meaning was already obvious. If he cooperated with his house raiding work, he would be given a way to live. If he didn't cooperate, he would have to die.

Seeing such a wealthy businessman with a wealth of wealth in front of Wu Changqing, Wu Zhiyue felt that his nephew was no longer the nephew he used to be.

The current Wu Changqing is a general with tens of thousands of troops and control of countless lives and deaths.

Wu Changqing's joy and anger directly determined Tang Yu's life and death.

Later, Wu Changqing explained that Tang Yu fully cooperated with Wu Zhiyue in the search of the other four houses. As for Tang Yu's niece, Wu Changqing didn't want it.

Although this woman is very beautiful, she is Tang Yu's relative after all. God knows if Tang Yu will be disgruntled and instruct her to poison him or something.

Although this possibility is very remote, Wu Changqing does not need to take such a risk. With his current status, there is no shortage of women at all.
