Chapter 196: New Problems
The dog pricked up his ears and stared at the two officials in front of him to see what he could say.
"Cough, dog, last night, a letter from the army came to the two of us, in addition to talking about the things of the front line for half a month, and urging the team to hurry earlier, I also issued two separate military orders, one is to raise money for the army, and the other is to use Chinese medicinal materials for the army, there are not many in Langzhong, and I ordered the two of us to find some medicinal materials and Langzhong."
The dog frowned and said: "Master Zhou, this Da Da city in Jiezhou City, is it very simple to find a few carts of medicinal materials, if it is really embarrassing, you can let Zhizhou find it, just now Brother Liu said, Wu Dashuai is in Lizhou West Road!" ”
Old man Zhou sighed and said, "Dog, you don't know, the errand of the two of us is to solve the military resources of Longzhou, and I really can't say anything about this state matter." ”
Gou'er said: "Then just move the military order to the Daizhou Yamen!" ”
"Alas, the two of us have already gone to Zhizhou this morning, and he also received a military order there, so he can't take care of this errand!"
The dog blurted out: "He doesn't help raise it, we can buy it ourselves!" Only then did he think that these two people looked majestic, but in fact they were poor.
If you don't have money, it's not easy to provoke people in Longzhou if you forcibly requisition medicinal materials, and it will be troublesome to cause trouble when the time comes.
So the dog sighed: "Then Master Zhou, what do you think the kid can do to help you?" ”
Old man Zhou patted the dog on the shoulder and said, "I heard that you transported a hundred pigs from Longzhou in one day and one night last time?" ”
The dog hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Zhou, I have a private matter, you have to inform the Longzhou Yamen for such an important errand and let them do it!" ”
Old man Zhou said with a smile: "Dog, although you are a small servant, you are also a member of the public family, you also know that they will definitely drag on for seven or eight days before such an errand is completed, and the deadline for us to receive is to send the medicine and Langzhong to the front line within three days." ”
Isn't it embarrassing to send things from Longzhou to the front line in three days? It would take two days to run on a fast horse, and you had to buy medicinal herbs, look for Lang Zhong, and then go back by boat, the dog shook his head neatly, "Zhou Ye also wants to help you, but you also know that these three days are too little, even if it is a smuggling path, it is far from enough!" It's better to buy it here. ”
Zhou Langzhong sighed and said, "I know, that's why I came to you, that, I heard that you have a good relationship with those businessmen?" ”
This weasel, sure enough, hit the attention of those businessmen again, and wanted to drag himself into the water, hehe, the master is not a fool, so he won't mix in it.
He arched his hand and said: "Those shopkeepers, they are all good and take good care of the kid, and some trivial things can help some people, but Master Zhou, this kind of big thing, they won't listen to what the kid says!" ”
After saying that, seeing that Old Man Zhou looked unhappy, he said silently in his heart, the dead Taoist friend is not a poor man, so he simply sold the three stewards neatly.
"Master Zhou, this caravan is headed by the three stewards, you can talk to him! Presumably they would be willing to help! ”
Old man Zhou sighed and said, "Alas, the matter of the silver has been entrusted to him." ”
Dogs: ......
Things are so embarrassing, no matter how fat the sheep is, they can't withstand such a vigorous fight!
The dog had no choice but to say: "What are you going to do when Master Zhou calls the boy?" ”
It is estimated that the next words are a little difficult to speak, so Old Man Zhou asked Liu Zhangfei to say.
Liu Zhangfei said directly to the dog: "Boy, don't you have a good relationship with them, you can tell them if you can lend us the money from this sale first." ”
The dog looked at Commander Liu, who had a big waist and a thick waist, in shock, and was directly stunned on the spot.
Now is not the time to lose the country and chaos, this is not the territory of the enemy country, there is a perfect government here, and there are strict laws, if they dare to do this kind of army to rob the caravan, their family Wu Dashuai will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Hey, hey, boy, what kind of eyes are you, grandpa is talking about borrowing, not robbing!"
The dog pouted and said: "There is no difference in this robbery, those caravans worked tirelessly, risking their lives to follow us here, just to sell the goods and get money home, you suddenly let them lend the money from the sale to the army, this matter is too unreliable, it is better to directly grab it!" ”
The straightforward words made Liu Zhangfei angry, and pointed at the dog and scolded: "You conscienceless little cub, have you forgotten who took care of you along the way?" ”
The dog pouted and said, "Brother Liu, Master Liu, Grandpa Liu!" How many pounds and taels does the kid have, can you know? If you think about it on your toes, you know they won't listen to me! ”
The reason why he was mixed up on the caravan side was that he had three stewards, second, he had the prestige of the people's side, and third, he had a good relationship with these two big officials, so these businessmen would give themselves some face.
"So what do you say?" The puffed Liu Zhangfei pointed to the dog and said: "If this errand can't be done, the two of us will definitely eat and hang Luo, Wu Shuai has always only looked at the result in his eyes, and he doesn't talk about half of his feelings, if he doesn't do it, the two of us will have to be dismissed from office, you think about the tens of thousands of people in the army, if there are no two of us to take care of you, you guys will be able to go back in what year and month, and if you don't do it, you will be pulled by the army to carry the soil and fill the trench." ”
Looking at Liu Zhangfei with an angry face, the dog snorted coldly in his heart, and scared people, he was not a three-year-old child, how could he be fooled, and immediately hugged his fist and said: "Brother Liu, I am really powerless in this matter, if the caravan is mine, and my brother takes care of me all the way, it is naturally what you say, but you also know that in the entire caravan, I don't even have a hair!" ”
Cough, seeing that the dog is not so easy to deceive, the weasel on the side spoke: "Little dog, Commander Liu doesn't mean that, he just wants you to help, go to those businessmen to find out, if this matter is feasible, then we will naturally find them and say, you see if it works." ”
The dog sighed, these two people are really difficult, they are only twelve years old, how can they always embarrass themselves.
"Master Zhou, the kid can help ask them, but I can't guarantee that he will agree!"
Old man Zhou waved his hand: "Go, go, try your best to say, if it is feasible, the two of us will definitely be indispensable to your benefits, and when the time comes, I will praise you well in front of Wu Shuai!" ”
The dog thanked him, and the two of them went back to the barracks.
This unfortunate errand was spread on himself for no reason.
In the early morning, I only cared about talking to the two of them, and I didn't have time to go to the room to eat, so I had to go back to the barracks first and tell them that I was going out to eat, a group of people didn't sleep enough last night, and they just went into the bed to make up for sleep and no one took care of themselves, so the dog had to go out alone, thinking that people outside were more aggressive, so he went to the barracks where the Huazhai people stayed and called Hua Fourteen to go out together.
Hua Fourteen was practicing archery, and he didn't have time to go out with the dogs, so he had to go out by himself.
As they walked, they wondered, why did they say it now? Wait until the army directly detains the goods, and then make some tricks and articles, so that these businessmen will not recognize the established facts.
Looking up at a vendor selling bean curd on the side of the road after finishing a business, he directly carried a wheelbarrow and shouted and walked away, the dog slapped his head on the skull, drilling the horns of the bull Isn't it, these days have been together on the road, I always feel that people are the same as my own group of people who are going to the front line, forgetting that people are just businessmen.
People only need to enter Xihe Prefecture, they can sell while walking, and they don't even need to go into the state, didn't the senior official of Jiezhou say that the border between the two states in front of him has already set up a checkpoint, and the fleeing Xihe Prefecture people have gathered at the official road crossing, and these businessmen can completely sell their goods nearby and return, there is no need to follow the army to continue to go down.
No wonder Old Man Zhou and the others were anxious today, and they probably noticed something.
Something was in his mind, so the dog ate something at will, and went to a place called "Big Stone Carriage and Horse Shop" not far from the camp to find the three stewards.
Coincidentally, other merchants were also discussing things around him here, and when they talked about it carefully, Dog was one of the initiators of this caravan, but he was under the Su Tong Judgment, and everything was in charge of the three stewards, and his reputation was not obvious, and he couldn't intervene if he had something, but he was not an outsider, so the matter discussed by a group of people was not hidden from Gou'er.
This time, there were twenty or thirty shopkeepers and stewards, and a group of people packed the room to the brim, and the old and senior ones sat in the front, and the few and young ones stood in the back and listened.
The dog also stood in a corner, holding a teacup in his hand and obediently listening to them.
With a bang, a fat shopkeeper slapped the table and said: "We can't make a few profits this time, and we have to be exploited by these soldiers, first to help the army silver, and then to 5,000 yuan of escort fees, and now even the money errand from the state and county is looking for us, it's really insatiable!" ”
"Brother Liu, don't be impatient, the crows in the world are as black as this, and these soldiers are even blacker, we are gathered here today to discuss this matter, big guy, let's talk about it, will we take it or not?"
This was said calmly, and the dog hurriedly looked over and saw that it was a tall and thin old man.
"What to pick up, 10,000 yuan, throw away the capital of all of us on this trip, and only earn 10,000 yuan!"
This is a businessman with a mustache.
"Third master, what do you think?"
The person who asked the question was a young man who was only in his thirties, but the dog saw that he was sitting quite high on the stool, and it seemed that he must have some great ability or background.
Sure enough, the third steward said: "Lu San, don't worry, let me think about it first!" ”
The young man said: "What do you think, let me say that we will pull the goods directly to the Kazikou tomorrow, I inquired where there are no more than 10,000 people, the rich people in the villages of Xihezhou live there, our goods are not worried, I think it can be sold out in two days at most, and then we will go back directly after taking the money." ”
Speaking of this, the man named Lu San stood up and hugged his fists at the group of people around him and said: "Everyone, we are businessmen, this adventure is here to make money, please take care of them on the way, we have already returned it to them, so we don't owe them, we will pull the goods tomorrow, what do you brothers think!" ”
Most of the group was nodding, and even the three stewards were touching their beards and nodding.
An elderly shopkeeper in front of the table said: "Lu San, if we do this, we will sweep away the feelings of Zhou Junjian, I'm afraid it will ......."
Lu San waved his hand and said, "It's okay, next time we have our own escort soldiers!" ”
The third steward sent a table and said, "Yes, we don't need them, just do it!" ”
After saying that, he saw the dog frowning and asked, "Little dog, what do you think?" ”
