Chapter 67: Extensive Grain 2
Zhou Nan trembled inexplicably, and couldn't help but look at Gao Yun beside him.
Seeing that Gao Yun's pretty face beside him became as cold as frost, but Gao Yuan was still squeezing his eyebrows at Zhou Nan on the side, Zhou Nan was angry! This Gao Yuan, no matter who it is, just jokes around, and when he wants to explain it to Gao Yun, he feels as if it is a bit abrupt to explain this matter to a girl; When you want to stop Gao Yuan from continuing, it seems that his heart is weak; Ignore it, and I feel that I can't let Gao Yuan talk like this.
Zhou Nan had to guide Gao Yuan and said, "How about me and that princess?!" ”
Gao Yuan was still there writing and directing, pointing at Zhou Nan and saying, "Da Lang Xiu wants to stare at me like this." I don't say it. ”
Zhou Nan's mouthful of blood hadn't spurted out, and Gao Yun next to him didn't look at the two of them, passed by Zhou Nan, stomped his feet, and went out.
Zhou Nan, who was in pain, lifted his feet and rubbed them straight, leaving Gao Yuan to lie on the bed laughing and laughing.
It took Gao Yuan a long time to stop laughing, Zhou Nan looked at Gao Yuan with disdain, and said, "I've never seen a brother like you, how can I deliberately tease my sister?" ”
Gao Yuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Nan and said, "My sister, I understand best...... It's only you, you have a good heart, and I will obey you lofty, but it's just a thousand good, I'm afraid that you will ...... one day."
When Gao Yuan said this, his brows condensed, his face was full of worry, and Zhou Nan was even more confused, and said, "Big brother, let's get down to business." ”
Gao Yuan came back to his senses at this time, still smiling nonchalantly, and said, "You say." ”
Zhou Nan continued: "That woman once said that there was a war between the people of the Jin Kingdom and the people of the Liao Kingdom, and the people of the Jin Kingdom had already conquered the two capitals of the Liao State, and even the emperor had gone to the western capital. I'm afraid that this Youzhou area will also become a battlefield, and by then there will be chaos, not to mention the price of rice, not to mention expensive, I am afraid that no matter how high the price is, I will not have to buy it. Therefore we must intensify our training, and we must store more food to survive the famine. ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "When Da Lang said this, even I understood. Da Lang, I will do the training of the soldiers, but this matter of storing grain, I need to discuss with Lao Zheng Tou and Zhang Yi, and after the discussion, I will send someone to buy grain in Zuo Jinzhou County. As soon as you say it, I just hate that the days are short, and I can't sleep at night, so I start practicing. ”
Zhou Nan said helplessly: "Big brother, I will only practice the day after tomorrow." You also have to ask the craftsman to make wooden knives and wooden guns temporarily, so you can practice with peace of mind first. Tomorrow I will go to Lao Zheng Tou to discuss the purchase of grain. ”
After saying this, he finally calmed down his excitement, and after talking for a while, he rested.
On the second day, Gao Yuan went to practice; Zhou Nan found Lao Zhengtou, Zhang Yi, Gao Bingchang, and Liu Zongwang, and told them about the grain storage again, and said to the four people: "I specially invite the four of you to come here today to discuss the purchase of grain. ”
Zhang Yi, Liu Zongwang, and Gao Bingchang hurriedly stood up, waved their hands again and again, and said: "Master of the village, don't say that, wait for me to be killed." Zhang Yi deliberately said: "This cottage is the owner of the village and Gao Dalang, killing the thieves to take revenge, and capturing the property, and themselves pasted hundreds of stone grain and gold and silver cloth, so that they can build this worry-free village, Xiao Lao'er and a few other people, a few years old, willing to share the worries of the master of the village, so in the hands of the master of the village, the affairs of the village are all decided by the big lang, we will do our best." ”
Liu Zongwang and Gao Bingchang were busy and easy-going. Zhou Nan didn't force a few people to make democratic decisions like later generations, but he still said sincerely: "A few old men are well-informed, and they will have to work hard in the future, so as not to make any jokes between me and Gao Dalang." Zhang Yi and several people said with a smile: "The master of Dazhai is too modest." Xiao Laoer and others are willing to contribute to the cottage and share the worries of the owner of the village. "Lao Zheng Tou is the same as Zhou Nan, they are all cottages that come halfway, and they are also teachers and friends, but they don't take the tone, seeing that everyone has said politely, Zhou Nan sat down with a few people again, and then talked about food again.
Gao Bingchang is in charge of the warehouse, the number of rice grains spent every day, the number of remaining grain is the most clear, these days I can see only out, not in, the rice grain stored is getting less and less, there are only 400 stone grain left in the warehouse, or Gao Yuan filled the number of 200 stone grain in his own home. Seeing that when it came to storing grain, Gao Bingchang said: "The Family Protection Society, there are also male animals to take care of it, and there are eleven craftsmen, and they have to receive nearly two stones of grain for cooking every day. Before and after the year and year, the walled wall was built, and the most grain was used, and more than half was used. I also have to take care of the lonely widows and lonely people in the village, and now there are 400 stone grains in the warehouse. Zhou Nan said to the four of them: "This is still the case in normal times, if there are continuous military disasters, I am afraid it will be difficult." Last time, the Liao princess said, I am afraid that the war will not affect Yanjing. This time, we sent people down the mountain, first, to buy food, and second, to inquire about the news from various places. ”
After listening to Zhou Nan's thoughts, the four of them were also deeply afraid that they would have nowhere to buy food under the chaos of the army. In the spring of previous years, there was no green and yellow, although this year is better than in previous years, but there are 17 or 80 people in the family care club, and they have more food every day. In this way, it is indeed necessary to send people down the mountain to buy grain as soon as possible.
"There's a third thing." Zhou Nan paused, and seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Zhou Nan said to everyone with a smile: "A few days ago, Dr. Zheng and I, using the wine brewed by Dr. Zheng, steamed out seven jars of steamed wine. Look at how this wine sells, if it sells well, it is also the way for my cottage to make money in the future. After speaking, Zhou Nan asked Lao Zheng Tou to pour some wine for everyone.
Lao Zheng Tou went to the wine room, filled half a cup for each person with a tea cup, and brought it over. Liu Zongwang is also a person who loves wine, and he also makes wine and eats it on weekdays, seeing Lao Zheng Tou using a tea cup to hold wine out, receiving it in his hand, seeing that it is still half a cup, he was about to scold Lao Zheng Tou for being stingy, and suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine in the tea cup, Liu Zongwang hurriedly took it to his nose and smelled it, it was indeed the aroma of this wine, just looking at the pure and translucent wine in this tea cup, cold and jade-like wine, it was a kind of enjoyment, I don't know how many times stronger than the wine he brewed on weekdays, Liu Zongwang held the tea cup, knew that this wine was extraordinary, and did not dare to drink more, so he took a small sip first, I only felt a warm heat flowing down my throat into my stomach, and the aftertaste in my mouth was soft and dry, and there was a fragrance of nectar in it.
Not only Liu Zongwang, but also Zhang Yi and Gao Bingchang are also general expressions of enjoyment. This kind of expression has been used to by Lao Zheng Tou these days.
After a few people finished drinking, Lao Zheng Tou said that he would not even serve any more wine to a few people. Liu Zongwang praised several people, and Zhou Nan listened to a few people praising this steamed wine, and he felt a little more confident in his heart.
The five of them decided that Liu Zongwang, Zhang Yi, and Gao Bingchang would each select two people from the Family Protection Society, and then withdraw two taels of silver from the treasury, and divide them into three routes: north, south, and middle to find and buy grain. The goal of the north road is Yanjing, after all, Yanjing City is Nanjing, Liaoguo, and there is always grain to buy; The middle road goes straight to Yizhou, which is the closest, and you can buy grain near the left of Yizhou; The south road is Bennan Chaoxiongzhou and Baozhou. It's just that Xiongzhou and Baozhou are already the boundaries of the Song Kingdom, and they are only near the left, but they can buy grain. Zhang Yi and the other three responded, so they went back to explain the good things to the people in charge of each other, withdrew the silver taels, and found Gao Yuan, each selected two people, did not bring swords, guns, bows and arrows, dressed as a banker, and went separately. Zhou Nan knew that Gao Bingchang was taking people to Yanjing, so he deliberately asked Zhou Fu and Zuo Xiaosi to follow Gao Bingchang, a group of three people, two horses, carrying five jars of steamed wine, and went straight to Yanjing.
Lao Zheng Tou chased Gao Bingchang all the way, and said after a while, "Take care of it, Hugh is going to break the jar." After a while, he said, "Hugh wants to drink it secretly", and sent it to the door of the cottage, Gao Bingchang and the three of them walked away, and Lao Zheng Tou still stood on the wall of the wall and shouted: "If you sell cheaply, you will carry it back." ”
