Liu Xian saw that Lin Yi finally got the point, and he said casually: "The goods we are trafficking are just some ordinary and ordinary things. In such a world, where are the valuable goods and commodities for us to run the business? These are the people of Liulin Village, who collected cotton from nearby villages that even thieves wouldn't want, and then spun cloth and made clothes. After the winter, the people ran out of food and could not farm, so I relieved those people, so that they could have a bite to eat, and at the same time, I mobilized them to make these clothes, which saw that I was about to run out of food, so I organized these women to go on this business trip in the name of my Liu Fu caravan, and its main purpose was to sell these clothes, so that they could have money to exchange for some rice and grain. ”

"Clothes? You say that the great baggage that the women carried was full of ready-to-wear garments? ”

Lin Yihuo stood up, overjoyed, and said with some surprise: "Is it really all clothes?" ”

"Nature is all clothes." Liu Xian said without a trace: "There are more than 100,000 pieces in it, and about one-third of them are cotton clothes. ”

"Cotton clothes? And padded clothes? It's—that's really great! Lin Yi walked around excitedly, clasped his hands and rubbed each other's hands, and said: "Little Master Liu, do you know, our teams that were left by General Huangfu to garrison in the local area have some other tasks, and we are responsible for collecting materials for the troops on the front line, such as food, clothing, and so on. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? That...... What do you mean? Liu Xian guided Lin Yi: "Do you want to beat me with this batch of clothes?" This one...... Lin Dubo, we plan to traffic these clothes further north, such as to Beiping Land in Youzhou. ”

"Youzhou Beiping? So far, huh? Liu Xiaogongzi, why do you want to go far and near? What's more, from here to Youzhou Beiping, not to mention this thousands of miles, it is said that it is not safe on this road. How about we discuss? You will give me a portion of your clothes, so that the share of the preparation I am responsible for can complete the task. For the other clothes, I can introduce you to other people, and I think they need them now. Lin Yi looked at the snowflakes outside and said, "It's all to blame on this thief, it suddenly snowed so much, and the weather suddenly became much colder." At this moment, the imperial court did not send the clothes for our officers and soldiers to keep warm in time. Therefore, now General Huangfu is in a hurry, almost a death order, and we must collect enough clothes for the soldiers in the army to keep them warm within these two days. ”

Lin Yi may have seen that he had a large number of ready-to-wear clothes in front of him, and he could take them to keep the officers and soldiers warm. This is exactly what he is worried about, and this is where someone is sending charcoal in the snow, so he seems a little anxious and tells some of the orders given to them by Huangfu Song.

"So? That...... Lin Dubo, I want to explain first, our batch of clothes must be exchanged for money, and then use the money to buy a batch of grain back. Therefore, I can't give it to you for nothing, and it's not impossible to give you a part of the profit, but you have to buy it with money. ”

"Of course, do you think I'm going to ask for your clothes for nothing? We, General Huangfu, were very strict in administering the army, and we were not allowed to collect money, grain, or other materials from the people at will. Lin Yi puffed out his chest and said.

"That's fine, though, I have a suggestion." Liu Xian said to him: "I don't think you need to bother any more, let other colleagues buy these clothes from me, you can take us directly to Quyang, let me go directly to trade with General Huangfu Song." Now your court officers and soldiers may be suffering from the cold, so this batch of clothes can also be distributed to those officers and soldiers as soon as possible, do you think this is the truth? ”

"Hmm......" When Lin Yi heard it, he felt that what Liu Xian said made some sense.

In fact, he is only responsible for getting hundreds of clothes to keep out the cold. If you can't get it, it's okay to have a hundred or dozens of pieces. Now there is a shortage of supplies everywhere, and although there are orders from above, they really can't get them.

Therefore, he can only buy a few hundred pieces from Liu Xian at most, and even if he wants more, it is estimated that he will not have enough money. He really wanted to requisition, but Liu Xian said it first, and he couldn't open this mouth now.

In addition, he wants to introduce other local officers and soldiers for Liu Xian, which has to be discussed, and there are so many officers and soldiers, coming and going, and I really don't know when this batch of clothes will be sent to Quyang.

There is another one, if he got more than 100,000 pieces of clothing at once and sent them to Huangfu Song, this would also be a great achievement. This is a credit for nothing, and when he heard Liu Xian say this, he felt that he really didn't need to share the credit with others.

His eyes couldn't help but light up at this time, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, although you are young, Liu Xiaogongzi, you are a business person after all, and your brain is flexible." That's right, do as you say. In this way, you will stay in this demon town first, and I will rush to Quyang right now, and it is estimated that I will arrive in Quyang when it gets dark. Then immediately report to General Huangfu. If there is no problem, I will rush back overnight, and tomorrow morning, you can also go. ”

"Good! Lin Dubai was resolute, and it would be best if he could report to General Huangfu as soon as possible. Liu Xian also hopes that the sooner he solves this batch of goods, the better.

"Then it's decided, Lin will rush to Quyang immediately."

"Okay, then there's work. Lin Dubo, in fact, when you report to General Huangfu Song, you can also put it another way. Liu Xian stood up.

"In other words?" Lin Yi didn't react for a while.

"Well, do you know Wen Shen and Wang Bao?"

"Huh? Wen Shen, Wang Bao? This is naturally recognized, we are all serving under the account of General Huangfu Song. However, we didn't know each other, we didn't even talk together, we just knew that there were such people. ”

"Well, that's fine, you know it's just the two of them."

Under Huangfu Song's account, there will be hundreds of civil and military generals of all sizes, not to mention hundreds of them, and there must be more than 50 captains like them. Also, Huang Fu Song will not only lead troops to fight in one place, Wen Shen and Wang Bao should be Huang Fu Song's descendants, this Lin Yi may have followed Huang Fu Song later or was transferred to Huang Fu Song's army officers and soldiers.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lin Yi said that he was not familiar.

Liu Xian continued: "Now, Wen Shen is the acting county commander of Yang's County, and Wang Bao is the county lieutenant of Yang's County. I have a good fellowship with the two of them. You can report to General Huangfu Song that you are familiar with Wen Shen and Wang Bao, and you have been in correspondence with them, and then after you received the task order to prepare military funds, you asked them for help, and after that, you introduced Liu to transport this batch of clothes. In this way, this time the problem of keeping the sergeants of General Huangfu Song's army warm can be solved, and it is Lin Dubo's initiative to solve the problem for General Huangfu Song. In this way, the size of the credit is different. Of course, maybe Wen Shen and Wang Bao will also have some benefits, but these are secondary. Come to think of it, if Lin Dubo wants to be a county lieutenant in a place, it should be enough to take this credit. ”

"This ...... Is it okay for Lin to report like this? Lin Yi couldn't help but hesitate.

Liu Xian wanted to send him a great merit camp and a future to him, and he couldn't help but be moved.

The war with the Yellow Turban Army will be fought sooner or later. And what about after this war? Where are they, the soldiers, going from here? The imperial court will definitely reward meritorious deeds, but what reward will he, a little Dubo, get at that time? In the future, do you still have to go back to the same place to be a small troop leader?

"There's nothing you can't do, and General Huangfu Song won't verify the details. What's more, even if it is verified, there is a person to help speak. As for Wen Shen and Wang Bao, I will naturally say hello to them. ”

"That's right...... I'll think about it. It's okay Liu Xiaogongzi, you can go and rest first, I have to leave immediately. ”

"Have a nice trip, I'm waiting for your news." Liu Xian didn't say anything more, but Lin Yi hugged his fists and retreated.

It's called a no-brainer.

Of course, this is also what Liu Xian expected. It's just that this heavy snow has indeed helped a little, and as for Lin Yi, who met the officers and soldiers left behind here, these are just trivial things. Because Liu Xian knows very well that if he didn't meet Lin Yi, he would definitely be able to meet Li Yi and Zhang Yi. Anyway, his caravan of more than 2,000 people is too big, as long as he approaches Quyang and reaches the vicinity of this Quyang battlefield, then he will definitely meet the officers and soldiers sent by Huangfu Song. or officers and soldiers who stay in the area, or officers and soldiers who patrol.

Anyway, as long as you run into Huangfu Song's people, then it will be easy to do.

Naturally, this is also Huangfu Song as the main general, if Dong Zhuo is still the commander of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, Liu Xian will definitely not dare to let those women come with goods so rashly. If this is Dong Zhuo, don't say that he wants to exchange these things for money and food, then it will be difficult for even these women to return safely.

With Dong Zhuo's wolf and thief character, it must be money and food, and women too.

Liu Xian returned to a house cleared by the guards, and Huang Zhong also happened to return.

When he arrived in the Demon Town, Huang Zhong immediately took the men and horses of the dark camp to reconnoiter around to confirm whether it was safe in this town.

This area is indeed relatively remote, and there are few ordinary small villages nearby. Except for the two or three hundred surviving civilians in this town and Lin Yi's fifty or so officers and soldiers, the people in the dark camp did not find anyone else. It is estimated that there may not be any more people within a radius of tens of miles.

Liu Xian also considered that this place was remote and did not want to cause trouble, so he suggested that Lin Yi go directly to report to Huangfu.

Liu Xian was worried that if officers and soldiers like Lin Yi let too many officers and soldiers know at once, if one of them had any crooked ideas, he would unite with some people. They could have dealt with this caravan of their own here.

Well, at least in their hearts, there are no people in this radius of dozens of miles, and I'm afraid no one will know what they are doing here.

This is not only a batch of clothes that they urgently need, but also more than 2,000 women.

Liu Xian naturally won't worry, with Huang Zhong here, they can't turn the sky upside down, but Liu Xian really doesn't want to make trouble.

Huang Zhong reported the situation to Liu Xian and retreated.

There was nothing to do this night, and there were no lonely ghosts and ghosts in the middle of the night, but some night crows made people feel panicked.

"Little boy Liu Xian!"

It was just dawn on this day, and Lin Yi came to find it in a simple way.

When he saw Liu Xian, he seemed a little excited, and his face was red and simple.

He said a little excitedly: "General Huangfu has an order, let Liu Xiaogongzi and your caravan immediately carry these clothes to the Quyang officer and soldier camp." Then, General Huangfu will meet you and talk to you about the handover of money and silver. ”

"Good! My caravan will be ready to leave in no time. Liu Xian knew that it was done, as long as he saw General Huangfu, then this time the business would definitely have a complete result.

It's nothing, it's just that Liu Xian can trust Huangfu Song's character, and his own batch of clothes can just solve his urgent needs. As long as you don't go too far and don't open your mouth, then everything will be easy.

What's more, Liu Xian doesn't just want money. In the current world, money can't buy anything, what Liu Xian wants is food.

Yangshi County plus Liulin Village, there are a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and as the news of his soup giving to the people in Yangshi County spreads, there will definitely be people in other places who will stop hearing about it and want to ask for a mouthful of life-saving porridge. In this way, Yangshi County will definitely attract more people to come.

With so many people, how much food is needed to tide them over?

Based on the original basis, 500,000 catties of grain can only barely support two months, so it will have to take about four months, that is, at least more than one million catties of grain must be obtained.

But in this world, who has so much food? Except for some unaffected big landlords and tyrants, I am afraid that only the officers and soldiers of the imperial court can get it.

Therefore, Liu Xian's business trip was actually fighting Huangfu Song's idea from the beginning, and Liu Xian wanted to get this batch of grain through Huangfu Song.

In fact, it is really easy for Huangfu Song to get this batch of grain, which is a matter of one sentence.

He can ask the imperial court, and in his name, he can buy from other states and counties. Moreover, after purchasing, there was no need for Liu Xian to transport it, and naturally there were court officers and soldiers escorting it.

Also, Liu Xian personally wants to see what kind of person this famous general in the early Three Kingdoms is.

The best thing is to be able to make friends with him.

Lin Yi was a little embarrassed to tell Liu Xian, he reported to General Huangfu Song according to Liu Xian's suggestion, so he wanted to ask Liu Xian to say hello to Wen Shen and Wang Bao, so as not to be honest in the future.

Naturally, there was no problem with this, Liu Xian immediately wrote a letter in front of him, and asked him to send the letter back to Yangshi County first and hand it over to Wenshen and Wang Bao.

After that, Liu Xian's caravan could set off.
