Huo Bao hurried away, and the light car was simple, and he only brought one person over; The water came in with it fifty people.

The 600 county soldiers before Binjiang, as well as the 400 new soldiers recruited in the past few days, are now under the name of Shuijin.

The 50 people brought this time were all county soldiers with families in the county seat.

The sixty men were temporarily housed in the barn.

Xue Xiao had the heart to do his job, and went out for half a day the next day, and negotiated the grain business with the official warehouse.

"Grain can be shipped out tomorrow, and the first batch can release 8,000 stones...... But the side refused to take credit, our master had already said that he would put it on first, and Brother Bao would slowly count it. ”

Huo Bao rejoiced in his heart.

Eight thousand stones, that is, nine hundred and sixty thousand grains.

There is no need to sell out, more than 20,000 people in Chuzhou can swallow it.

Save some, the more than 20,000 people chewed enough before the summer harvest.

"Let Brother Xiao suffer! If there is no official warehouse, it is time-consuming and laborious to collect grain in a scattered manner, where is it so cheap! Huo Bao sincerely thanked.

Xue Xiao waved his hand and said, "I'm just running errands, it's all our master's favor...... It's just that this is just the first batch, listen to the wind over there...... This time, the official warehouse is going to be replaced, and the total amount of old grain that wants to be sold is 24,000 stones...... I want to get out of the warehouse before the summer grain enters the warehouse......" Speaking of this, he seemed to smile: "Brother Bao doesn't have to be reluctant, you can ask for as much as you want." ”

Huo Bao smiled.

In this year, who would be afraid of more food?

There is still a month and a half for the summer grain to be put into the warehouse, and 24,000 stone of grain is transported in a month and a half, plus the 3,000 stone before the grain shop, 600 stone a day, which is indeed difficult, but there are difficulties to overcome.

Now Huo Bao lacks everything, but there is no shortage of manpower.

"Both! Toss left and right, less is also a toss, more is also a toss. Huo Bao said casually.

“……”

Xue Xiao was speechless.

"Mobilize all the Quyang child soldiers to transport food...... Don't save money, the carriages and mules are all in place, and the grain will be transported across the river one day sooner, which is a great achievement! Huo Bao privately instructed Huo Bao and Zhu Qiang.

Huo Bao was hungry and precious, knowing that food was precious, and said: "Uncle Bao, don't worry, the scouts are not enough, and there is still Uncle Cousin...... Uncle Bao uses Quyang soldiers, and Uncle Cousin only has a happy ......"

Huo Bao nodded and said, "Li Qianhu is good at general affairs, if he is free, you can ask him to help with the construction of the granary...... Wang Qianhu is a land-sitting household in Quyang, if you have a nephew to recommend, you can pick two similar ones to lift. Nowadays, if you are not afraid of many people, you are afraid of few people. ”

Huo Bao listened at first, but then blushed and nodded.

Neither uncle nor nephew lifted the stone.

They are a little more strapped here, but they can still call for help; Huo Wu here, there seem to be a lot of people around him, but there are few who can really believe it, and the stone is just used.

Shui Jin is older than Huo Bao and Zhu Qiang, and he thinks a lot, so he said to Huo Bao: "Where does the little Guancang ambassador dare to release so much grain?" This must have been commanded from above! Even if Xue Qiye has face, he will not be the only one, and he may sell a few of them. One is more than 20,000 stones, if there are a few more, I am afraid that the Jinling official warehouse will be sold short! ”

"It's not unusual to be empty, it's strange if it's not empty!" Huo Bao Dao.

The new prefect came for money, and in order to find more reasons to collect money, even the stepmother married his father, and it was not uncommon to stretch out his hand to the official warehouse.

Nowadays, the corruption of officialdom can be seen.

handed over the errand of transporting grain, Huo Bao and his entourage left Jinling and went to Changzhou.

Because it was still under the guise of a grain store, twenty mule carts were used, and more than 100 "guys" followed the carts.

These "guys" are the sixty people led by Xue Xiao (ten familiar guys, fifty Binjiang soldiers), fifty people from the Shuijin belt, and fifty scouts.

plus the three of them, and that's one hundred and sixty-three.

Scout fifty, the new tun chief mentioned is none other than Li Qianhu's younger brother Li Yuan.

The eldest of the short, fifteen this year, acts similarly to his eldest brother Li Qianhu, and is a person who can look at the eyes.

Knowing that Huo Bao respected the rules, Li Yuan restrained the scouts and ordered them to be banned along the way.

Huo Bao's training and Huo Wu's training are originally of the same origin, but they are different.

Huo Bao is a half-grown teenager here, but it is easier to teach new rules; In contrast, Xue Xiao's fifty percent is a ding, and there are many deficiencies in this rule.

When it came to the fifty soldiers in the water, they just didn't see it.

"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black".

Xue Xiao loves face again, and reprimands his subordinates in private, so that they can be on par with the boy soldiers.

When the water entered here, there were fifty soldiers, and they were not angry that Huo Wu occupied the riverside, but they only felt that they had taken advantage of the number of people by virtue of the large number of soldiers; But seeing the rules of the Scout march with his own eyes, these people have also stopped a lot.

From Jinling to Changzhou, all the way is an official road, two hundred and forty miles, passing through Changning County and Qu'a County under Zhenjiang Prefecture in the middle.

The people traveled forty miles a day, and on the third day they arrived at Changning County.

The night before, I stayed in the wilderness, and the dry food I ate was not allowed to enter the county seat to replenish my supplies on this day.

A city gate tax was set up at the gate of the county seat, and Xue Xiao took the road guide stamped with the official seal of Jinling Prefecture, and the convoy entered the city smoothly.

At the gate of the city, there will be a foot shop for the convoy to settle down, and the convoy will be placed here.

The ten acquaintances were used to this road, so they borrowed two stoves directly from the foot shop and brought their own food.

This is also the rule of running a business, for fear of "unclean diet".

Huo Bao used the name of tasting food to pull water in and Xue Xiao out.

This Changning County is not big, but there are two famous mountains here, one is the Maoshan Mountain of Taoism's "First Blessed Land, the Eighth Cave Heaven", and the other is Baohua Mountain, which is known as the "First Mountain of the Vinaya".

Taoism and Buddhism have a long history in the local area, and there seems to be no room for the development of Maitreya.

Actually, is that really the case?

The three of them went to a local time-honored restaurant with a vegetarian name, and witnessed a lot of good shows on the way.

A few naughty children ran around the street, holding candy men in their hands, shouting "King Kong descends to the world, the world is peaceful", "King Kong is born, the world is peaceful".

The meaning of this sentence is similar to the meaning of "King Ming descends to the world, and the world is peaceful".

Because the "Ming King" in "King Ming descends into the world, the world is peaceful" refers to the future Buddha - Maitreya Buddha's "incarnation" of the Great Wheel Ming King, also known as the Great Wheel King Kong.

Huo Bao paused and looked at the candy man in the child's hand.

"Brother Bao wants to eat? There's one ahead, let's buy it! Xue Xiao said when he saw this.

Huo Bao nodded: "Okay, go buy it." ”

The candy man stall was just around the corner, and the three of them walked over.

In front of the sugar man stall, a circle of children gathered around a middle-aged Confucian student.

"Mr. Song, I want that big sugar man!"

"Good!"

"Mr. Song, are you still here tomorrow?"

"Come!"

"Mr. Song, I'll call my brother, don't go."

"If you don't go, you won't go."

"Just those two sentences? Why don't you eat two sugar people and say a few words? ”

"One sentence is enough!"

Huo Bao and Shui Jin all paid attention to the Confucianism.

This Confucian was dressed shabby, so thin that he looked like he was like a skeleton, and he stood there and shook.

This man asked the children to spread proverbs, which was obviously ill-intentioned, but it looked like child's play.

This person is a Maitreya disciple?

This is Changning, the place where Taoism and Buddhism flourish, and if you engage in these "cults" in broad daylight, you are not afraid that Taoism and Buddhism will not tolerate it?

Isn't it stupid to be so undisguised?

Xue Xiao waited impatiently, took out the silver beans, and handed them to the candy maker: "Make us two first!" ”

"We're here first!"

"It's our turn!"

The two children were not angry, and hid behind the Confucian and muttered.

The Confucian looked at Xue Xiao and said disapprovingly: "This son should know what 'first come, first come' is!" ”

Xue Xiao looked at the faded robe on the Confucian student's body, his eyes fell on the fluttering purse, and said softly: "Mr. should also know what 'doing what he can'!" ”

The Confucian blushed and was speechless.

The old man who was a candy man took Xue Xiao's silver beans and said to the Confucian student: "Mr. Song...... The money was bought for Mr. by everyone, and Mr. was scattered, and he was hungry, what is this...... The old man doesn't know what 'King Kong' is or isn't 'King Kong', but he doesn't dare to sell it to Mr. Sugar Man anymore......"

"King Kong descends into the world, and the world is peaceful!" The Confucian student's eyes straightened, and he muttered to himself.

A few children who didn't get the candy man quit and pulled the Confucian sleeve.

"Sir, I want to eat candy!"

"I've been waiting for a while."

The Confucian scholar picked up the fluttering purse, poured it into the palm of his hand, and dropped five or six copper coins.

Confucius walked to the pastry shop next to the candy man's stall, bought two white rice cakes, broke a few pieces, and one for each child.

Several children happily took it.

"King Kong descends into the world, and the world is peaceful!"

"King Kong is here!"

"The world is peaceful!"

A crisp child's voice followed.

The Confucian had a puzzled smile on his face and walked away.

Huo Bao and his entourage saw it in their eyes.

Xue Xiao was surprised: "This person, is there something wrong?" ”
