Because tens of thousands of troops gathered in Xuzhou, a few miles outside the city of Xuzhou, in addition to the barracks are still barracks. Occasionally, between those big camps, in a few villages where the Qing army entered the south and slaughtered, this will have a little popularity, and there is a miasma of black smoke everywhere, the same everywhere is piled with charcoal and muddy grain carts, donkeys, mules, and even camels all over the street, and the dung of livestock is trampled in the mud by carts and boots, and gruel flows like porridge in this village.

In the muddy water of the Yellow River, there are hundreds of boats, which are also boats for transporting grain, these villages with life, as well as this boat, are all employed by the caravan of the Jin merchants, the Jin merchants have always been the first loyal servants of my Qing Dynasty, before they entered the customs, there were eight imperial merchants to run military supplies for them, and after the Qing army entered the customs, the reason why they could go all the way to the south without worry, thanks to thousands of Jin merchants driving donkey carts, carriages, camels, in order to handle military grain and grass, so that it can go all the way south, and these years, the Qing army has been all the way south to the west, These Jin businessmen who have long been accustomed to accompanying the army.

Tens of thousands of boatmen, laborers, and some small traders who were employed by dozens of merchants, and some small merchants who ran the gang gathered in this large camp, either living in dead villages where human bones remained, or setting up tents, but many of them just set up dense shacks in the open field, and then began to trade, which was naturally done with the Qing soldiers.

But everyone knows that this business is just the beginning. Before the time of attacking the city and plundering the land, this business was not a business, so that almost everyone was there looking forward to it, thinking about when the general would go south.

Looking at the continuous shacks in the distance, looking at the guys and people walking through the mud, Lu Chuanfeng couldn't help but think of his father, thinking that when he came more than ten years ago, he was like them, all the way south to Yangzhou with the army of the imperial court, and finally settled in Yangzhou.

It was really not easy for my father to be an old man back then!

Yu sighed in his heart, looking at those guys and people who spoke the words of his hometown, Lu Chuanfeng's heart was suddenly cordial, and even thought that if they were in need, they could help one or two in the future.

It's all local to the hometown, so if you can help, you can help it!

"Fu Er, you go back and see, if these foot traders, if they are willing, let them sell the goods to us Fucheng, so that the villagers can put aside this hardship ...... again."

As soon as Lu Chuanfeng's words fell, Fu Er, who was driving the carriage, said.

"Master, you are kind, but this kindness, I'm afraid no one wants to take it!"

"Oh? Why is that? Isn't it all business? Who is it not to sell to? ”

Lu Chuanfeng, who originally wanted to help his fellow villagers, naturally didn't know why Fu Er said that these people were unwilling to receive this kindness.

"Master, you don't know, these foot traders, but they all point to the goods brought here to make a fortune!"

Fu Er, who is nearly forty years old, has followed the master for more than 20 years, and has also come south with the army, so he naturally knows some of these transactions.

"This soldier's business is not as simple as selling goods, how much money can they sell for this pack of goods? At most, it is a dozen taels of silver, and they first sell these goods on hand to the soldiers for silver, but this is only one of them, the real business, when the city is sieged! ”

"Oh? Besiege? What else could it be? ”

Lu Chuanfeng asked puzzledly, although he was already thirty-five, but when the Qing army went south, he was in his hometown in Shanxi, so he naturally didn't know how to do business along the way.

"The lord doesn't know, this Qing Dynasty marching and fighting, has always been based on military merits, as for the rest of the slightest scruples, in order to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy, after the city is broken, the soldiers are all robbed of money and goods, silver money can be directly put into the arms, but from the people's homes to rob clothes, jewelry, silk or something, must be sold, when the time comes, one or two silver can buy dozens of taels of silver, as for the women and children are also like that white pick-up, a woman sometimes only a few dollars of silver......"

The words of the subordinate made Lu Chuanfeng's surprised half salary speechless, which made him seem to understand that when he left Yangzhou, Zhang Yuanping would say that the Qing army relied on more than just soldiers to fight.

Wrong!

Isn't this still relying on soldiers?

Don't you still encourage soldiers by plundering? How can it be that it does not rely on soldiers?

Although he didn't know the reason yet, Lu Chuanfeng looked at these guys and people and seemed to understand why they didn't go out with the army thousands of miles away, for the sake of dozens or even a hundred times the profits?

"Master, you don't know what happened back then, let's look at this city, but in the eyes of the imperial army, it is not one, it is silver, silver with white flowers, after the city is broken, not to mention the general, even the soldiers can make a windfall, but the old lady later said ,......"

Only halfway through the words, Fukuji bit it.

"This silver is too hurtful, so after arriving in Yangzhou, I no longer follow the army, and concentrate on Yangzhou to do business......"

Is it hurtful to the heavens?

Fu Er doesn't know, but Fu Er knows that this is the case with the army, once he earns enough silver, no one wants to risk the army again, after all, there are many people who sleep in the open along the way, and I don't know how many people will die in the wilderness, not to mention, if the army is defeated, these merchants will often be killed by the Ming army as traitors.

The words of the subordinate fell on Lu Chuanfeng's ears, which made his mind sink, although he knew that the Lu family's family business was not very clean, but he never thought that it would be obtained in this way, the Lu family's family business, I don't know how many people's blood is stained!

Yes, yes...... Change of dynasty, probably the same!

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Chuanfeng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the Chinese army camp in the distance, he came to Xuzhou this time to meet Dasu, in order to protect ...... It's not to keep the Lu family, it's to keep the family business of 100,000 people in Yangzhou!

Right!

That's right, that's exactly the case, the business done by his father and his old man back then may have hurt the heavens and the peace, but today, isn't he Lu Chuanfeng saving the people of Yangzhou?

For the imperial army, the 100,000 people inside and outside Yangzhou are rebellious thieves, the original army should have been killed, and now they have not only saved Yangzhou, but also saved their lives! Isn't this a great blessing for the people of Yangzhou?

"Dad, this is a deal that hurts the heavens and the peace, the child will not do it, if you are old in the sky and have a spirit, you will bless the court army to successfully defeat the thief, bless the child to be appreciated by adults, and protect 100,000 fathers and elders ......in Yangzhou."

Lu Chuanfeng muttered silently in his heart, and there was even a sense of responsibility that he had never felt before......
