Chapter 6: Who is the real person?

Today's weather is sunny, there are more than a dozen people gathered at the stone mill at the south end of Dark Zhuang Fort, Han Niu'er hangs his arms, sits on the stone mill, and talks the story of that night endlessly.

"Niu'er, what did you think at the beginning? Gu Tou asked you to stay, and you stayed? ”

"Phew, Gu Tou? The Tartar hasn't seen the shadow yet, he instigated it first, but he ordered it to be withdrawn, and it was Brother Tie who insisted on staying, and he almost didn't fight because of this matter! ”

"Huh? Blind? Why did I hear that Gu Tou asked you to stay? ”

"It must have been Yang Dazui's muddy ball, right? I was busy withdrawing before, but now when I see that the Tartar has planted a heel, I want to share the credit, what is it? ”

"Huh, dare to stay and fight with the Tartars, that is, Tiemo, this fool!"

"What are you talking about, Brother Tie is not silly at all!"

"He's not stupid, where did he come from to be so bold?"

"He ....."

Li Jiasheng leaned against an old tree, listened for a while, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was listening with relish, Gu Chengliang walked over with Yang Dayong. Regarding Li Jiasheng's arrival, Gu Chengliang still has some drumming in his heart, because he has never dealt with Li Jiasheng.

"Mr. Li Qian, the family has prepared wine and food, let's go to the house to eat and chat!"

Li Jiasheng smiled and arched his hand, "I'm tired of Gu Zongqi..... No, I should be calling you Gu Baihu soon...... Haha, I heard that I got a lot of Mongolian war horses this time, and I would have been very itchy, and I had to go to Tie Hanxiong to ask about the war horses, so I won't bother Brother Gu for the time being! ”

"This ......"

Gu Chengliang had mixed feelings in his heart, and Li Jiasheng was secretly sarcastic in his words, but he could still hear it. But in fact, it's no wonder that people are sarcastic, and he Gu Chengliang is a little weak in his own food for the battle exploits of Huolingpo.

It's just that now he Gu someone is still the person who talks about Dark Zhuang Castle, Li Jiasheng doesn't look for him Gu someone when he has something, but goes to Tiemo to discuss, which is really shocking.

was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to shake his face with Li Jiasheng.

After Li Jiasheng left, Gu Chengliang stared at his back and spat fiercely, "Niangdi, it's too much of a deception!" ”

Yang Dayong felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he had a feeling that Tie Han Xiong seemed to be about to develop. On weekdays, he has always been at odds with Tie Han Xiong, if the foolish thing is developed, and he Yang has a good life?

"Gu Tou, what now? Do you want to find Wei Baihu? ”

"What's the use of looking for him? The direct command department surnamed Li, Wei Xiang can't talk to others! ”

Gu Chengliang stared angrily, listening to the conversation of Han Niuer and others in the distance, his heart was even more angry.

......

In the dilapidated courtyard, Tiemo sat on the wall, looking at the rows of adobe houses, pondering this very important thing.

There are more than 400 households in Dark Zhuang Fort, that is, more than 300 military households with combat power, as long as these military households are concentrated, it will be a large force. Relying on this strength, you can slowly grow your own power.

It's just that it's not so easy to build a team of more than 300 people into elite soldiers.

Firearms, knives and guns, armor and clothing, food and grass, training, all are indispensable!

Except for training, everything else has to be paid!

It's not that I don't know, but I'm annoyed!

The windfall looted from the Tartars before was simply not enough, and raising an elite army of 300 people was at least 10,000 taels of silver a year, and this little money in his hand was a drop in the bucket.

After all the calculations, there is still a lack of money!

"Yo, why does Brother Tie like to sit on the wall and watch the scenery?"

A bold voice sounded, Tie Mo turned his head to look, quickly jumped down from the wall, and bowed.

"Mr. Li Qian, why are you here?"

"Why don't you come? Brother, you have made a great contribution this time, not to mention anything else, those war horses and camels alone are a lot of money! ”

Li Jiasheng was begging, affectionately hugged Tiemo's shoulder, and said as he walked, "Brother, I am a straight person, I don't know how to turn, brother, you got more than 20 war horses this time, and so many war horses are not of much use in your hands." It just so happens that Brother Hou, General Soldier Xu, I will get a cavalry, and there is a shortage of good horses under my hands, do you think you can divide some of my brother? ”

"Li Qian always wants to divide some war horses? This matter, it's easy to say, there are ten horses left here in Dark Village Fort, and the rest of the thousands are taken away, but those camels have to be kept! ”

Li Jiasheng's face was in a daze, and his eyes almost fell to the ground. I had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but when I came, I found that Bai was ready. Tiemo's promise was too refreshing, so refreshing that people couldn't believe it.

"Brother Tie, are you going to agree? To be honest, I don't have much money for you, brother! ”

"Don't want money, Mr. Li Qian will take it away!" Tie Mo patted his chest with a bold face, looking extremely serious.

Li Jiasheng let go of Tiemo's shoulders and looked at the other party with a solemn expression, "Brother, this is not a joke, why are you doing this?" Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage by that? ”

"Don't suffer" Tie Mo scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders honestly, "Mr. Qian doesn't know, these big horses are too edible, and they have to eat good forage and beans, which are better than what I eat, where can I afford it, I don't know how to get it." ”

"Ahem....."

Li Jiasheng twitched irregularly, he looked carefully and found that Tiemo was serious.

Is this Iron Brother stupid, or is it real?

It should be too realistic, but the more this is the case, the more embarrassed Li Jiasheng feels. Although Li Jiasheng is not a righteous man who is upright, he is also a man with affection and righteousness.

He really can't do the things of honest people. That's it, these war horses are taken away, and in the future, I will find a way to help Brother Tie in other places.

"Okay, your brother, my Lao Li has taken it. If you want to recognize me, then don't talk about it, listen to it! ”

"Huh..... Brother Li....."

"That's right" Li Jiasheng laughed, patted Tiemo's shoulder, and stepped into the house.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, broken tables and chairs, a broken bed in the room, in short, a broken one.

"Brother, what are you doing with those camels? Farming and pulling carts, that thing is not as good as cows, horses and mules, my brother has some ways, I promise to exchange more than a dozen camels for more than 20 cattle to come back, you will definitely not lose! ”

Li Jiasheng was kind-hearted, who would have thought that Tiemo frowned, and waved his hand busily.

"No, no, these camels have to be kept!"

"Why? Just because camels are easy to feed? But brother, the point is that it's useless for you to ask for these camels! ”

Tiemo hurriedly said: "It's useful, the little brother wants to use these camels to pull goods!" ”

"Pulling goods?"

"Yes, the younger brother wants to do business, these camels are the best livestock, I have heard of the border trade in the north, you can do without horses, but if you don't have camels, you will definitely not survive."

"Poof" Li Jiasheng just drank a sip of water, and it was all sprayed on the ground. He plucked his ears in disbelief and saw a sincere face.

"You're going to do business? This...... Brother shouldn't know about this, don't tell anyone else in the future, it's okay to do business, come secretly! ”

Li Jiasheng felt a little headache, maybe his previous judgment was a little wrong. This iron brother is not only real, but he is really a bit stupid, can he say such a thing as doing business clearly?

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has formulated a strict household registration system. Salt households make salt, military households fight in the fields, and craftsmen work. Each is responsible for his own affairs and cannot do anything else.

Emperor Taizu's original intention at that time was good, in order to have a clear division of labor and perform their duties. But as time went on, the hukou system went terribly wrong.

Life is not easy, coupled with the restrictions of the household registration system, life will only get more and more difficult.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially at the border of the Northland, many military households had secretly poured up goods, and some even escorted goods for those wealthy merchants.

Military households are also forced out by life when they do business, but they are often very low-key when doing this kind of thing, and even if someone asks, no one will admit it. I know this kind of thing, but it's all blind and blind.

The military households can find a way to make some money, and if they have food and drink, they will not make trouble, and the capital department will also save their worries.

Like Tiemo, it is the first time that he has taken the initiative to admit that he wants to do business.

After thinking about it, Li Jiasheng felt the need to mention this little brother. Closing the door, he said earnestly: "Brother, if you want to do business and sell goods, my brother will not object." But you have to know that this road is not easy to walk, Zhangjiakou to the north, half of the ten lost all their money. ”

"Well, but the little brother still wants to try!"

Tie Mo nodded, but he didn't change his original intention!

Li Jiasheng couldn't help but grin when he cried, he found that no matter how much he said, he was playing the piano to the cow.

"Come on, you're the king of the eight who eat scales and have an iron heart!"

At noon, Li Jiasheng stayed at Tiemo's house to drink some wine, because he was in a hurry to go back, and before the end of the day, he led the horse and left the Dark Village Fort.

After sending Li Jiasheng away, Tiemo touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Brother Li is a real person, worth befriending!"

At this time, Li Jiasheng looked at more than a dozen excellent Mongolian war horses in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

"Hey, Brother Tie is a rare real person, since he wants to take the goods, he can help a little in the future!"

The cold wind blew through the treetops, and a crow landed on a branch with a dazed expression.
