Although Qin Chuan was more knowledgeable than those stunned people, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart, strode forward, and stabbed one of the hemp bags with a knife.

As soon as the knife was drawn, golden wheat flowed out of the breach.

"Ouch, this is food, we have to rely on it to survive, we can't waste it." Lao Huang hurriedly covered the hole.

Qin Chuan grinned, walked to the next room, and poked another sack.

This time, it was millet that flowed out of the sack.

Not long after, Qin Chuan walked through a few rooms and found that in addition to wheat, millet, and soft and hard millet, there was actually a small amount of rice in these grains.

Meng Guiming didn't lie, Qin Chuan and Song Zhiting roughly counted, there were about five thousand hemp bags in total, and each sack could hold about one stone of grain, that is, five thousand stone of grain.

One stone of grain in the Ming Dynasty was about a little more than 0.1 cubic meters in later generations, and one cubic meter of unpeeled wheat was about 1,500 catties, which was converted into a large catty in the Ming Dynasty, and one stone of grain was about 120 catties, and about 100 catties after removing the bran.

That is to say, after removing the bran, there are 500,000 catties of grain here, and without oil and water, an adult can be full of one catty of grain every day, and the grain here is enough for more than 1,000 people to eat for a whole year.

The big chests were filled with white silver, fifty taels of horseshoe silver, seven thousand taels.

Since the severe drought for many years, the price of grain has also risen again and again, and now it has reached two taels of silver and one stone, and these 7,000 taels of silver can only buy more than 3,000 stones of grain.

This large gain was a windfall, and Qin Chuan's original plan was just to get rid of Bashanhu and occupy Mengjiazhuang.

Now the livestock, money, grain and even farm tools in the Zhuangzi have been robbed by Bashan Hu, and this large amount of money and grain is simply a charcoal in the snow.

After counting all the money and grain, Qin Chuan asked Luo Da Niu and Lao Huang to carry back the two sacks of grain, and when the rations for the past few days, he and Song Zhiting moved out twenty silver ingots.

Outside, the entrance to the chamber was sealed again, and covered with hay.

The place is still a nondescript hay house.

The three members of the Fan family had been cut down to human shape, and Meng Guiming was whimpering and crying while placing the corpses of his family one by one.

Qin Chuan walked up to him and said, "Master Mengzhuang, I will let people get some coffins, so that you can bury your family well, but now, you have to go back to the gatehouse with us first, from now on, without my permission, you can't go anywhere, but don't worry, I will keep my promise, let you inherit the Meng family, and spend your old age in peace." ”

Meng Guiming looked up at him, and then at the bright knives and guns of the other Jiuji Mountain bandits, and finally reluctantly got up and walked out of the courtyard.

After Qin Chuan confirmed that there was no living mouth nearby, he took people back to the gatehouse and summoned everyone to convene the first Jiujishan Political Consultative Conference.

In fact, there is no negotiation, and only Qin Chuan has the final say.

After everyone arrived, Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, our good days have come, there are five thousand stone grain and seven thousand taels of silver hidden in that secret room, and this transaction is worth it." ”

The thirty or so old bandits of Jiuji Mountain were in an uproar, some of them were waving their knives excitedly, and some of them were jumping around like crazy.

Luo Da Niu slapped his chest with a bang, and said angrily: "I have said a long time ago, as long as we follow the big boss, one day we will always be able to make a comeback, wine and meat women are indispensable, I am not wrong." ”

"The three masters are right, as long as we follow the big masters, we can have a good life."

"I'm going to be in charge of it all my life."

"Phew! You pickled goods, don't you follow the big boss after a good day? What did you say when you first burned yellow paper? There are difficulties and blessings to share, even if there is no good life, Lao Tzu is also determined to follow the big boss all the way to the black. ”

"That's right, I also want to learn from the second master of Naguan, who is loyal to the liver and courage, and righteous and thin."

"Alright, alright."

Seeing that these old bandits were about to quarrel, Qin Chuan waved his hand in time to interrupt them and said: "The brothers are all loyal and courageous, otherwise they would not follow me to fight hard to get out of Jiuji Mountain, my heart is open, from now on, if I have a bite to eat, your share will be indispensable." ”

"Let the brothers come today, the main reason is to say something, from now on, we are going to wash our hands and go ashore, Mengjiazhuang is our territory, I am the chief steward of Mengjiazhuang, and I am also a distant relative of the owner of Mengzhuang, the military advisor is the second steward, the third steward is the third steward, and the other brothers will be temporarily wronged, and they will be the guardian for a while."

"Don't worry, big guy, although we have landed, we still have to do business, from now on, we will not only do the business of large households, but also do the business of rogues, and even, we will do the business of building slaves."

Hearing his words, a group of old bandits excitedly brandished their knives and shouted.

They don't care about their identity, they only care about who they are with, whether they have wine and meat women, and whether they buy and sell.

Meng Guiming, who was on the side, raised his head, glanced at Qin Chuan, and quickly pulled his head in frustration.

He knew that this person surnamed Qin was different from other bandits, extraordinary people, he could always do extraordinary things, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the other party, unless he was not afraid of death.

As for the family property, there is no difference between handing over and not handing over, as long as he is still in the hands of the surnamed Qin, the other party can wear his skin, eat his Meng family, live in his Meng family, and go to the bandit business under the banner of his Meng family.

Now, the Meng family has no heirs, and there is no point in keeping this huge family property, and if he dies, it will be even more meaningless.

It's better to die than to live, maybe the surnamed Qin will fulfill his promise and really marry him and have children, and pass on the family to live out his old age in peace?

What's more, he still has a glimmer of hope, and that is the people in the mine.

Qin Chuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Master Meng, you can rest assured, I, Qin Chuan, have spoken a word, saying that I will never kill you in your old age, and besides, I plan to make a big deal, if it happens, your glory and wealth are indispensable." ”

"Thank you, boss."

Meng Guiming learned the name of the bandits, and thanked him, but secretly said in his heart You just said that you spared the lives of the Fan family, and as soon as others came out, they would kill them all, and they were all fart.

Qin Chuan didn't pay any attention to him, and only continued to his subordinates: "Listen to the big guys, from today onwards, our title in front of outsiders will have to be changed, but you can't call me the big boss in front of others, you have to call me the big steward." ”

"There is also the style of the big guy, in front of outsiders, try to change it as much as possible, we are already serious people, don't shout and kill the whole family at every turn in the future, and don't keep teasing people's little daughters-in-law and daughters."

"Don't worry, we know."

"Alright, now we have a few important things to do, and the big guys have listened."

Then, Qin Chuan assigned work to a group of subordinates who were excited.

Tying up Meng Guiming does not mean that they will be able to occupy Mengjiazhuang, let alone that they will be able to gain a firm foothold in Lou Fu.

Qin Chuan had already foreseen that he would soon face many enemies of all kinds.

The first thing to deal with may be the Jiexiu Fan family, or it can be said that the Zhangjiakou Fort Fan family.

The Fan family, who folded a few clansmen and dozens of nursing homes in Mengjiazhuang, and also folded 5,000 stone grain and 7,000 taels of silver, will never give up.

He also has to deal with the government, from the small Lou Fu County Order, to the Taiyuan Prefect and even the Shanxi Governor, who will have doubts about his identity, as well as the officers and soldiers of the guard, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao's army, etc., the latter two are not easy to deal with.

Then there are Bashan Hu, Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu, these three people will know sooner or later that he has settled in Mengjiazhuang, and they will definitely come to find trouble when the time comes.

Bashan Tiger is the closest to Lou Fu, and it will be a day's journey, and Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu are the generals under Leopard Five, if the thousands of people from Leopard Five are pulled over, it will be over.

Qin Chuan had already roughly figured out how to deal with these people.

The best way is to buy an official, and use the heads of those thieves who died in Mengjiazhuang to buy an official position to sit on.

With an official position, you can really wash your hands and go ashore, you can avoid being dealt with by the government, and you can avoid the Fan family from making trouble.

No matter how doubtful you are, how to guess, even if you invite Oriental Sherlock Holmes, Lao Tzu just won't admit it, you can bite Lao Tzu or not.

Give Fan Yongdou a hundred guts, and he didn't dare to bite the Ming officials before Jiannu entered the Central Plains.

As for dealing with Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng and others...... There is nothing to be clever about, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, there are only two ways to go.
