Chapter 6 The Profiteers Are in Charge
The next day, early in the morning, He Xing was woken up by the third uncle, "Little Brother He, are you okay?" ”
He Xing looked at the third uncle and said, "Third uncle, I'm fine." Why are you going up the mountain again?"
"Alas, the villagers are not worried about you two, so let me come and see you."
"Third uncle, thank you, I'm worried about you."
"If you're fine, then I'll go down the mountain and tell the villagers. Wait a moment and they'll be rushing up again. After speaking, the third uncle ran down the mountain.
looked at the back of the third uncle, and sighed that there are still many good people in the world
。
"Yes, no matter how poor they are, their hearts have not changed, unlike those high-ranking officials and nobles whose hearts have long been gone." Liu Ye patted He Xing's shoulder and said.
After a while, there were bandits who took their relatives up the mountain, and He Xing saw that there were still so many open spaces, so he called all the bandits together.
"Now that some of us have brought our relatives here, I think we should get some separate houses for these people who have relatives, and let's act together!"
"Thank you, benefactor" The bandits thanked He Xing.
"Wait, don't call me a benefactor in the future, just call me Brother Xing. Let's get to work. Wang Zhuang, you wait. ”
He Xing stopped Wang Zhuang, and Wang Zhuang said, "Brother Xing, is there something wrong?" ”
"Do we have any silver in the cottage?"
"There should be, I'll look for it" After speaking, Wang Zhuang walked to the room inside the lobby. He Xing went to help with the work.
After a while, Wang Zhuang came over with a money bag. handed it to He Xing, and He Xing counted the money.
"Let's exchange this silver for some food, don't have enough food when there are more people"
"Food is very expensive now, and we can't buy much food with this money," Liu Ye came over and said to He Xing.
"The population is going to increase soon, we have to get more food, let's use this money to buy some food first," He Xing looked at Liu Ye and said.
"Okay, so be it."
"Pack, pack. We're going to sell grain right away, where is there grain around here? He Xing looked at Wang Zhuang and said.
"Only the big river grain village in the county town has grain."
"Okay, then we'll go to the county seat."
He Xing, Liu Ye, and Wang Zhuang rode down the mountain with money, some dry food and water.
The three of them rode wildly all the way, and after three or two hours, the three thin horses were a little weak. So the three of them stopped their horses, let them eat and drink some water, and rest.
At this moment, a convoy of horses came from afar, and in front of him was a strong man, riding a tall horse, carrying a big axe, wearing a suit of armor, and he was like a great general, very majestic.
When I got closer, I saw that the clothes of the people in this team were uniform, and the word "river" was written on the clothes. At this time, the strong man in the lead said, "Brothers, work hard, you will be there soon." The host has already prepared food and drinks for us. ”
Wang Zhuang looked at the convoy that was slowly moving away and said enviously: "Alas! This is the grain transport team of Dahe Grain Farm."
"Wang Zhuang, do you envy them?" He Xing looked at Wang Zhuang and asked.
"Personally, I think that although the grain delivery team is sometimes dangerous, it is much better than being a bandit, and it is much better than starving to death. There will be some money for a trip. Liu Ye patted Wang Zhuang on the shoulder and said.
"Who's to say it isn't. This is much better than being a bandit and licking blood from the knife edge. Who doesn't want to live in peace and stability, but this grain transportation team is not easy to enter. At that time, I went to the assessment and failed to pass, and I fought with him for several times, and my feet slipped. was chopped off the ring by Xing Daorong's axe. Wang Zhuang shook his head and said.
"Xing Daorong's name is so familiar, is it a famous general?" He Xingxin thought silently.
"Let's hurry up when we're rested!" Liu Ye led the horse and said.
"Okay, let's go"
The trio continued on their way.
At noon when they arrived at the county seat, Wang Zhuang hurriedly led the two to Dahe Grain Village, because Dahe Grain Village did not sell grain in the afternoon. Food is also limited.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have any food?" Wang Zhuang asked the old man who was planning to make a plate.
"No, not in the last few days. Let's talk about it later. The old man said without raising his head.
"We saw that your food team came back with food, how can you say that there is no food. If you don't sell food, do you want us all to starve to death? Wang Zhuang said
"Hmph, your life is worth a few dollars, and it's not as expensive as my food. Get out of here. Otherwise, I'll have your dog's legs broken. The old man raised his head and said fiercely to Wang Zhuang.
Wang Zhuang still wanted to theorize, and was pulled out of the store of Dahe Grain Village by Liu Ye.
"Brother Liu, why don't you let me reason with him," Wang Zhuang said angrily to Liu Ye.
"Brother Wang, if you say that the sky is broken, they won't sell you." Liu Ye said with a smile.
"Why is this?" asked Wang Zhuang puzzled.
Liu Ye smiled and shook his head. He Xing smiled and patted the money bag and said, "They are too high in food prices, let's go." Let's go get something to eat. ”
Liu Ye smiled and nodded. Wang Zhuang touched his head and was still puzzled. In Wang Zhuang's impression, Dahe Grain Village is an honest and credible businessman.
The three of them came to a noodle stall,
"Let's eat noodles," He Xing said.
"Okay," Liu Ye and Wang Zhuang replied in unison.
"Boss, let's have three bowls of noodles."
"Okay, three, wait a minute."
He Xing and the three of them sat down in a place where there were few people. He Xing looked at Liu Ye and whispered, "Let's do a good thing tonight."
Liu Ye nodded, and Wang Zhuang looked at the two people who were talking inexplicably.
"Three, it's ready. "At this time, the noodles came, and the boss served them, and immediately went to make noodles again.
"Wang Zhuang, after eating noodles, you hurry back to the cottage and bring all the brothers. Be sure to get out of the county before dark. He Xing said.
"Okay, Brother Xing" Wang Zhuang is not afraid of being hot, and he eats it in two bites. He Xing and Liu Ye were stunned. He Xing wondered if this was the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
Wang Zhuang wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Stand up. "I'll go back, I'll be there before dark." After Wang Zhuang finished speaking, he rode his horse and left.
"Let's eat too. After eating, hurry up and check where the Dahe Grain Village put the grain" He Xing came back to his senses and said to Liu Ye.
Soon the noodles were finished. "How much does the boss cost?"
"15 copper plates" came over and said.
"Okay, can the boss ask you something?" Saying that, He Xing paid the money to the boss.
"Yes. If you know, you will tell you, and if you don't know, there is no way. The boss said politely.
"Boss, we are here to buy grain, and Dahe Grain Village said that their grain team has not come back yet, and there is no food. Let's wait a few days. You said that it would take a few days for this situation to happen," Liu Ye asked.
"Guest officer, I see that you are also real people, so I tell you that as long as you give him a high price, he will have food every day. Today his grain team came back and brought all the grain to his house. The boss whispered.
"Okay, thank you, boss," He Xing said.
"You're welcome, you'd better go to another county seat to have a look." The boss finished talking and left.
He Xing and Liu Ye nodded, and the two of them got up, led the horse, and went to find the residence of the owner of Dahe Grain Farm.
The two of them asked on the street about the residence of the owner of the Dahe Grain Farm. Boy. The biggest and most luxurious in the east is it.
