Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Thief Who Cannot Be Killed
Stone coal is not a rare thing in the Great Song Dynasty, not even a valuable thing, I can't see that this thing can be compared with precious war horses, this thing is a lot in Huanzhou, really a lot, some places as long as the soil skin is endless this thing, he did not steal joy, on the contrary, there is a feeling of humiliation, although Qingjian City needs war horses, but the backbone is the foundation that supports the soldiers in these years of hard work, he does not allow this to have any loosening.
"The pearl is covered with dust! The people of the world are ignorant, thinking that this thing is useless except for burning fire, and as far as burning is concerned, in addition to the advantage of burning resistance, there is no benefit, and people who burn too much are also easy to be injured by charcoal, so they abandon this thing as if it were a shoe.
As everyone knows, there are countless ways to use this thing, as long as it goes through a certain process, it will become coke, with coke, you can make steel, you can make more high-quality swords, and those crushed coal ashes are also treasures, as long as they are processed by secret methods, they will immediately become very good fuel.
Everyone knows that firewood and grass are wet after heavy rains, and every household will burn wet reeds at this time, but they don't know that charcoal can burn even if it is wet, and the price of firewood in Tokyo is expensive, and the surrounding mountains have long become cow mountains, a city of millions of people, you calculate how much firewood is needed to satisfy, I heard that in Bianliang City, Tokyo, water can become a commodity, and the coal made by my secret method, if it can't be sold at a good price, it will never be a business again. ”
Suspiciously, he took the piece of coal from Yun Zheng's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Is that really the case?" ”
Yun Zheng sat down with Erlang's legs crossed and said with a smile: "Of course, five hundred war horses can be sold for a sky-high price in Bianliang City, Tokyo, but no amount of money can compare to finding a safe source of eternal wealth for children and grandchildren, so I can exchange five hundred war horses for five miles of land?" I will build a village on that land, and form a caravan, Fuzun, how about you prepare to enclose land in the Qingyang area? It is less than 500 miles away from Jingzhao Mansion and thousands of miles away from Bianliang Castle in Tokyo. And because of the border troubles, in order to be able to quickly send troops, the imperial court built a wide avenue here, which is the reason why I fancy Huanzhou. Otherwise, although the smokeless coal in Huanzhou is excellent, it is not as good as Taiyuan Mansion, and the distance between the two places is about the same, so I prefer Huanzhou. ”
Hearing what Yun Zheng said with a nose and eyes, it seems that he had premeditated a long time ago, but Wugou didn't believe that Yun Zheng had thought about doing a charcoal business a long time ago, it must have been a temporary idea, this guy must have a reason, it's just that it's inconvenient to say it.
"Since you really have this plan. The official gives you ten miles of land, as you said, as long as you don't encroach on the fertile land, you can do whatever you want, and the government will never ask, at the same time. Your caravan is not taxed in Huanzhou, this is the greatest help that the official can do within his authority, if you really make money, the official swears, as long as the farmer is still in Huanzhou, he will keep you safe for a day. ”
Yun Zheng laughed and stretched out his palm. Happy and high-fived, even if this matter was settled, Chong Yu went to choose a war horse, Wugou looked at Yun Zheng, who had nothing to do, and asked with a smile: "What did you do again?" ”
"If I go back this time, I may be promoted, and the biggest possibility is to divide the Yongxing Army to me. Zhang Fangping probably thought so a long time ago, you can just look at the defensive place of the Yongxing Army, next to Huanzhou, Jingzhao Mansion is in their sphere of influence, to be honest. The governor of the Yongxing army is in Bianliang City, and he probably doesn't know where the six armies under his command are, and the Yongxing army that enters the middle of Sichuan will return to Jingzhao Mansion sooner or later, and our greatest possibility is to return to Jingzhao Mansion.
When you come back here, it's a big trouble, you know what the situation of the army is, as a general, you not only have to manage the army, but also manage the food, drink and Lazar of the army's families, otherwise you will have no motivation and no one will help you.
We are all way officers, not only to build a strong army, but also to get rich all the way to the army, his grandmother, if Lao Tzu's ability is almost good, he can't cope with it at all. ”
Listening to Yun Zheng's scolding and scolding, Wugou nodded and said: "This is in line with your character, people are cunning rabbits, you are counting things everywhere, so Shi Tan is a way for you to find a way to live for the Yongxing Army?" ”
"It's not that I was forced by Zhang Fangping, the last time an errand of the general of the Jiazi battalion almost knocked me out with a stick, and now Huang Zhou is dead, who do you say I won't be the prisoner of the broken capital? Huang Zhou offended Gao Tansheng and let the family kill the whole family, now that position is still vacant, everyone on weekdays has sharpened their heads and wants to be officials, now everyone can't avoid this official position, if Zhang Fangping doesn't prepare this official hat for me after I go back, he won't be Zhang Fangping! ”
After a sleep, the shrewd Yun Zheng came back, and from the attitude of the kind of person towards himself, as well as Zhang Fangping's temperament and actions, he quickly deduced such a result.
When you go abroad to work, you go to work at home, really, Yun Zheng stomped his feet hatefully and went to Kui Ming to study what to eat at noon, and it was much better to stay with simple-minded people than to think about those old foxes.
Kui Ming, who had changed into a Song costume, was learning how to dress up from Ge Qiuyan, and the hairstyle of the grandmother in a Chinese ghost story made Yun Zheng panic, and his opinions have been raised several times, and now, not only Kui Ming and the maid began to change their outfits, but even Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi are slowly changing their inherent behavior, don't let people see at a glance that these people are from Western Xia.
"Brother Yun, is my ring bun combed well?" A bright Han girl's outfit made Kui Ming lively, twisted the soles of his feet, and stood in front of Yun Zheng with a spin, asking him to evaluate his outfit.
"Very good, the little girl should be dressed like this, in the future, you don't have to think about bad things all day long, live your life well, how to be happy, how to come, tell you a good news, I sold five hundred war horses, the money received belongs to you, and the land in exchange belongs to me, I estimate that when you arrive in Jingzhao Mansion, you can collect all the horse money for your five hundred war horses, you are already a very rich woman, anyway, you can't do anything, when you learn, take some money to do business, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes."
Kui Ming didn't seem to hear Yun Zheng talk about money, and still happily fiddled with his dress, turning around, but unfortunately Ge Qiuyan didn't have any good jewelry, and Kui Ming's head was missing a lively golden step.
Yun Zheng's heart moved, he took out the four hairpins purchased from Xixia from his arms, selected a golden step with a pearl inlaid in the middle, and put his hand in Kui Ming's hair, the best thing is that there is a small silver bell on the golden step, and there will be a subtle sound of jingle bells when he takes a step, Yun Zheng stubbornly classifies these sounds as the liberation of the original owner after his revenge.
It turned out that Kui Ming didn't have anything good himself, but now he was very happy to have such a hairpin, and kept walking around on the ground, just to listen to the ringing of the silver bell.
Looking at the current Kui Ming, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think of Kui Ming, who survived by relying on himself, and when he saw that his hands were cold, he didn't hesitate to stuff a man's hand into his belly to keep warm, at that time, how miserable and helpless she should be, no matter what kind of woman she was, unless that person was her beloved.
Seeing that others were happy, Yun Zheng himself became happy, and suddenly decided to have a happy meal of braised pork with all the soldiers at noon today, and finally came back alive, which is indeed worth congratulating.
Liang Ji, Peng Jiu now has a very good prestige, the things in the military camp basically don't need Yun Zheng to go out by himself, they can solve it very well, Jiazi Camp is still the old rule, no matter what happens every day, the practice will never stop, especially in the Xixia military camp for three months, in the ridicule of the Xixia people, their progress is rapid, although they were beaten by others when they asked the Xixia people for advice, but when they left, they put the big bag of oleander powder of the lord into the flour, Feeding it to the Tangut people, it's a pity that the amount of medicine is too small to die, but it still needs to lie in bed for several days to recover, which itself is an arrangement made by the Lord in order to prevent accidents.
He looked sideways at Jiaziying cooking, and wondered for a long time before asking Yun Zheng: "Have you Jiaziying always eaten like this?" I don't understand where your wealth comes from, I came back from Shuzhong and followed your example to exterminate some horse bandits, but the result was not very big,'
Yun Zheng took a shovel and stirred the oily braised pork and said with a smile: "This is inevitable, Huanzhou is too poor, and if those horse bandits have a little money, they will use it to buy armor and blades, the people of Huanzhou are fierce, and the people dare to fight with the robbers for a penny, so the robbers are not careful, you have wasted your strength, and the bandits have not gained a lot of money, if you dare to cross the border to Jingzhao Mansion to suppress the bandits, I guarantee that you will gain a lot." ”
He thought about it and said: "It's also reasonable, but this time, I want to borrow you as a rich man to use it, you swaggered through the market along the way, I asked Ma Jinhu to take five hundred elite soldiers to pretend to be a box army, and wait for those robbers to rob, and then we copied the bandits' lair, so that the rich minister of Jingzhao Mansion will not blame me for crossing the border, and I also have the money to pay you, what do you think?" ”
Yun Zheng couldn't straighten up with a smile, pointed at it and said with a smile: "I can be regarded as self-inflicted, but this is also a good way, you must have a goal to say this, dare to rob the horse team and convoy escorted by seven or eight hundred van troops, it must not be a nameless, who are you going to deal with?" ”
