Chapter 307: Head Pan Ming
I asked Ming to be a local big family in Wuqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, Zhili, Northern Zhili. His grandfather 4" served as a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue and bought a very large family business. The family's land was tens of thousands of acres, and they all went to Shenzhou and Raoyang. There were more than a dozen shops in Shenzhou and Wuqiang. They were really powerful.
However, the next few generations were not successful. Pan Ming's grandfather was a juren, and his father was a scholar. Pan Ming, who was born until he was 22 years old, did not get into the scholar.
Only with fame and official status can the family prosper. Without this, you cannot protect your own property. If other families prosper, you will come and take it over.
There is only so much land in the world. If you occupy more people, there will be fewer people in other families. Your family is just a scholar. If we have a Jinshi or know the magistrate of the Pai County, we will naturally have to take action against you.
When Pan Ming was born, his family only had thousands of acres of land left, and the shops and other things could be sold. However, his father had a juren status, which was also a matter of fame. Thousands of acres of land, as usual, did not pay taxes, and his family was still a big family in Wuqiang County, and he still lived a prosperous life.
Wealth is only three generations, and this cannot be said to be a universal truth, but it is accurate to use it in the Pan family. When Pan Ming was twenty-two years old, someone took a fancy to his family's hundreds of acres of irrigated land and bought it for two taels of silver per mu.
Land is something passed down from generation to generation. No one can buy and sell it easily. Moreover, the market price of water-water land in Beizhili is 40% higher than that, so the Pan family will certainly not sell it.
However, this buyer is a relative of the father-in-law in charge of the Wine, Vinegar and Noodle Bureau of the 24th Yamen in the inner court. The Wine, Vinegar and Noodle Bureau is one of the first-class Yamen in the 24th Yamen, which is a third-class Yamen with oil and water but no status. However, outside the palace, especially on the grounds of Wuqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, it is like a high place.
The other party was not in a dilemma, but just greeted the magistrate of Wuqiang County. The magistrate of Wuqiang County panicked first, and it was very easy to make trouble. Especially a powerful family like the Pan family, who had not spent much effort, found an accident where a maid was hanging.
This is not a big deal for the Pan family. Pan Ming's man forced himself to sleep with the maid at home, and the maid couldn't think of it for a moment and hung it. The Pan family compensated the grocery store for that family, and the matter was settled.
This is a common thing for wealthy families. When the idle people in Wuqiang County talked about it, they all said that the maid was ignorant and Mr. Pan was willing to pay even a shop. If you were happy, you still don’t know how to be rich in the future!
However, the Ming Dynasty law clearly states that killing raped slaves is a serious crime, and this is enough to eliminate fame and fortune. The Pan family has no control over the wording field, so fame and fortune are naturally unretainable.
Then the crime of bullying the weak and occupying the people's property and other crimes came up, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. The trees were scattered, and they saw that the Pan family had a advantage. For a moment, those who complained and cheated came to their door.
Pan Ming's father is a young man. He has been spoiled since childhood, and he has grown up without any scruples when he grows up. At this time, he was hit by a blow and couldn't stand this anger for a while, so he couldn't think of taking a rope and hanging it.
Once his father died, Pan Ming didn't even have a fame and fortune to protect his family business. Now, it is no longer a disaster for the eunuch relatives to buy water. Even the magistrate stared at this part of the naked eye.
Pan Ming's mother died early, and many relatives at home did not interact. Now they take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. In just one year, the family was ruined.
The matter was too big, and many people who took care of it also felt scared. The Pan family was just the only one. Wouldn't it be a waste of everything if they were killed?
After all, someone in the yamen was greedy for a small advantage. He sold the news to Pan Ming for a price of 100 taels. Pan Ming knew that he could not stay in Wuqiang County, so he simply left the house with the money at night. He was confused and left the city early in the morning.
He had an uncle from afar living in Tianjin Acropolis and went to join him with the money. If someone was unlucky, it would be really bad all the way. After Pan Ming arrived at Tianjin Wei, he realized that he, the uncle from afar, died of illness.
Pan Ming himself didn't care about his family. He had not lived his life, and he spent almost the same amount of money in less than a year. Seeing that every living situation in the future, he thought about it and took the remaining silver and gave a bow of the bow fragrance and threw it into the bow fragrance.
The benefit of taking his head, not to mention that Pan Ming was a literate person, so he arranged some leisurely guys for him, without having to work hard, just keeping accounts or something.
Pan Ming has become a dilapidated house. After experiencing one thing, he is a person who reads and reads. He has grown up and died than before. After only a few months of hard work, he has been attracted by him, and everyone praises him for his goodness.
After working for about a year, the errand of the incense burner was distributed to him by the errand of the incense burner. This was not a fat man. There was a pork slaughter shop in that place. He relied on his own to raise five, knife hands, and more than twenty apprentices who helped him never paid for burning incense.
Pan Ming led the people several times, but they were beaten and scolded back. Everyone was watching the joke about this matter, and there were other incense heads waiting for Pan Ming to do it.
As a result, one day Pan Ming came to the door. The butcher shop looked at Pan Ming alone. He ignored him and still did his own business.
Pan Ming took out a kitchen knife from his arms. There were more than twenty knives and axes in the butcher shop, and he would care about his house. He laughed for a while but no one paid attention to it.
Then Pan Ming cut off his little finger on his left hand, and the butcher shop was stunned. The shopkeeper cursed, "If you have the guts, you can try another one." Pan Ming cut off his ring finger again. The people in the butcher shop were silent, and the people who came to buy meat were scared. When Pan Ming raised his knife to cut off his middle finger, the butcher shop became soft.
This person is so cruel to him, and he doesn't know how cruel he can be to others. The butcher shop almost begged Pan Ming to stop, saying that he would never pay less money for burning incense in the future.
At this time, Pan Ming had cut off half of his left middle finger, his face turned pale, and then he threw the kitchen knife to the ground, took out a piece of cloth and covered his hands and went out.
Seeing Pan Ming staggeringly going out, none of the big and thick men in the butcher shop dared to step forward.
After this incident, Pan Ming became famous outside Tianjin Acropolis. The three fingers known as "Seven and a half fingers" were respectfully sent back by the butcher shop. Pan Ming found someone to make them nitrogen and hung them in his own room.
With such a ruthless act, he never delayed a day when the incense burning money he was responsible for collecting. Even the servants in the yamen were polite when they saw him.
The few on the bow Xiang. Xiang Tou learned about this and checked the accounts. Pan Ming had basically never taken action in the middle and thought that this man was a capable person.
After Pan Ming came to Chuantou Xiang for a year, he was promoted to a head, and he was trusted by the top of the head. He was considered a person in the core circle of Chuantou Xiang.
After making a move, I had more than 300 people under my jurisdiction. I managed a large area and collected incense money every month. I collected a lot of money every day and received a lot of oil and water.
The money you get is used to buy industries, invest and pay dividends, or use usury to earn interest. Pan Ming has studied and is easy to use. Even if he is greedy, he can do it without any leakage. After five years of sitting down with a head of the bow, he actually has a net worth of more than 1,000 taels.
Nowadays, Pan Ming is not the thin literati boy who used to be. He is strong and tall, and his face is darkened by the sun and wind. However, he has a habit that he likes to wear long gowns of scholars. Perhaps this can show his unique identity, showing that he has read and written characters, but the five years of scenery has now disappeared.
Wang Tong, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was newly to Tianjin, was cruel and ruthless. The Chuantou Xiang was suppressed by him. The money for burning incense could not be collected, and the money earned by the Xiangsong had been working for a day could not be taken. The price used to be high, so he would be drawn. Now, if you draw a penny of Xiangsong, you might not be able to eat enough, so why should you draw?
Pan Ming was not panicked. Anyway, he had already purchased the property and would not have any worries for the rest of his life. He bought an honest daughter as his wife and was already pregnant. If he didn't treat this incense, he wouldn't be a good person.
Not everyone can see it like Pan Ming. The boat head is a bachelor who spends a lot of money. Now he has no income and can't help but work and make money. What he does is to get together every day to curse Wang Tong and scold the young Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Pan Ming was too lazy to get involved with them. He had experienced many things and was open-minded. At this point, at least there was no hope of turning the tables in the short term. Why bother to cause trouble? It is legitimate to live a life of honesty and support yourself.
The shops on the banks of the Haihe River were full of golden eggs. Pan Ming could see clearly that after raising 500 taels, he went there and took a good place. He would make money when the shop was built.
While he was preparing for the past, several incense heads who had disappeared for a while sent people to contact him. The person who came brought silver and told them what to do.
Pan Ming estimated that many people should have encountered the same thing, at least the few people who come to him every day have disappeared these days.
The bow incense was defeated, but Pan Ming would never dare to refuse the tasks ordered by the fragrant heads. The bow incense said that the boat workers and laborers burned incense and became a charity, but in the final analysis it was the industry of these incense heads. Several incense heads were somewhat desperate, and now it was such a very critical moment. If they didn't agree, they would die.
Ma Dafu's death is normal, but Sha Erbao's death is just around Pan Ming's footage, and he can guess one or two.
In addition to being chilled, he could only buy food, wine and meat with silver. He walked around the family of various fragrant families.
"Even the honest children are forced to hang the hanger, we have no way to survive!"
"The current declining sun is all done by the dog official and king. Are we the fragrant people just suffering this way!?"
Thank you everyone
