Boss Wei was listening to Old Man Han when he suddenly saw a figure flickering in the darkness in the distance. In a trance, www.biquge.info Boss Wei seemed to see hundreds of figures groping towards him in the dark.

It was so late that it was impossible for the hungry people to dare to approach the company's station. Old man Han, the company commander sitting on the grain cart, stood up abruptly and shouted loudly:

"There are thieves! Everybody up! ”

Boss Wei's eyes widened, and he was about to raise his gun, but the steamed bun next to him had already taken the lead in raising the rifle. The muzzle spark flashed, only a crisp "pop" was heard, and a scream was heard in the darkness.

Mantou was also a little surprised after shooting this shot, he was just shooting a shot indiscriminately, but he didn't expect to hit someone. A single shot shot into the darkness can hit the target, which shows the density of thieves.

One by one, the other soldiers who had fallen asleep got up. Amid the roars of officers of all ranks, the soldiers quickly entered the combat state. They stood guard on all sides of the grain cart with rifles, and pointed their guns at the shadows that were scurrying in the darkness.

Charge, loaded. Although the thieves in the darkness had not yet appeared, and although the campfire that illuminated the nearby eighty meters did not yet show the shape of the thief, the soldiers had begun to shoot at the figures in the darkness. Crackling gunshots rang out incessantly, and from time to time screams rang out.

But the battle was soon over. These thieves are not big thieves like Li Zicheng, and it is impossible to confront the two hundred tiger army head-on. Seeing that the fire on this side was so fierce, the thieves lost the confidence to plunder and gradually retreated.

Boss Wei kept holding a gun to aim in the dark, but he never found the target and shot. He waited for a while, and found that the shadows were gradually fleeing into the distance.

Boss Wei snorted coldly and put down his rifle. He touched the notch on the butt with his hand, as if regretting that he had not been able to shoot a few thieves.

In the afternoon of the next day, the grain transport team arrived at the county seat of Tangyin County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province.

I heard that some people transported grain to the county seat through the chaotic disaster area to sell, and the small county seat of Tangyin County was empty. The people all crowded out of the city. Obviously, this small county town has been plagued by the problem of food shortage for a long time.

Although Zhangde Province is located north of the Yellow River, it has also experienced the great drought in Henan Province in previous years, and the situation after the disaster is as complicated as other prefectures and counties to the south of the Yellow River. The only good thing is that the thieves have not yet reached the north of the Yellow River, so the county town is still safe, and the gentry are still the local ruling class.

In the crowded crowd, the company commander Han looked at the surrounding Henan people, waved his hand at Boss Wei, and sat down on the grain cart, lit his dry tobacco pipe and smoked it.

This old man Han is a smoker, not only has cigarettes on his body, but also has a pipe and dry tobacco, and he doesn't know how many cigarettes he has to smoke in a day.

Boss Wei knew that Old Man Han was asking him to organize the sale of grain, so he took a breath.

He cleared his throat and jumped onto a grain cart. He is accustomed to being in the limelight, and he has no stage fright in front of thousands of people.

Boss Wei stretched out his hand and waved it forward, looking like an official shouting to the people: "People, we are the grain transportation team of the Duke of Jinguo, and this time we have brought cheap grain to the people of Zhangde Mansion." What we sell is cheap grain, two taels and five dollars and one stone, which is a good thing that the Duke of Jin Guogong has done to the people of Zhangde Mansion..."

Before Boss Wei finished speaking, a merchant dressed in silk shouted loudly: "Three taels and one stone, I will buy two hundred stones!" ”

Before the merchant could finish speaking, another old gentleman with a white beard shouted: "Three taels and five dollars and one stone, I will buy four hundred stones!" ”

A middle-aged gentleman wearing a scarf snorted coldly and shouted: "Four taels and one stone, I bought all these eight hundred stone rice noodles!" ”

People kept jumping out to increase the size and want to eat the 800 stone rice noodles.

Boss Wei frowned as he watched the gentry and wealthy businessmen around him keep raising the price of grain.

The rich people in Tangyin County don't look like they're buying rice noodles, but like they're grabbing rice noodles. Soon, the price of grain was raised to five taels and one stone by the gentry and merchants.

In this time of famine, food is everything.

In fact, Boss Wei didn't know that the rice noodles in Tangyin City had been sold for six taels and one stone. If these gentry and merchants bought grain from Boss Wei, they would earn as much as they bought.

The small citizens in the county seat of Tangyin County are all yellow-skinned and thin, and they are looking at the grain trucks guarded by the Tiger Ben Army, looking at the bags of rice and noodles, and their eyes are straight. They don't have the financial resources to raise the price with these gentry and lords, and it is obvious that these eight hundred stone grain will be bought by the gentry and lords in the granary without any suspense.

When these grains are sold by the gentry and old men, I don't know what the price is.

Boss Wei was a little annoyed, looked at the gentry who raised the price and shouted: "What price, did I let you raise the price?" This grain is not just for you lords! ”

The gentry standing in front of the grain cart looked at each other when they heard Boss Wei's scolding. They are well-dressed people in Tangyin City, and they can't imagine that they will be scolded by a small squad leader of the Tiger Ben Army now.

But at this time, for the sake of food, even if they were scolded, they couldn't do anything, and they were still reluctant to leave by the grain truck.

Boss Wei no longer bothered with the gentry, but shouted to the surrounding citizens: "The people of Tangyin, our Jinguo Gong did not come to Henan to make a fortune. There was a drought in Henan, and the Duke of Jin only hated that he could not save the people of Henan Province because of his lack of ability. But the grain transported to Henan by the Jinguo Gong will never be sold at a sky-high price! ”

"Our rice noodles sell for two taels and five yuan and one stone, that is, thirteen yuan a catty, and each person can only buy thirty catties, and those who want to buy rice and noodles come up and line up."

Hearing Boss Wei's words, the people of Tangyin County had their eyes shining one by one and their eyebrows were overjoyed.

Rice noodles cost two or five dollars a stone, which is almost the price before the disaster. At such a price, even the most ordinary citizens can afford it.

Jin Guogong really came to save the people of Henan.

However, those powerful gentry still gathered at the front of the grain cart, and the people of Tangyin County did not dare to push these gentry away, and only looked at Boss Wei.

The gentry in front of the grain truck looked at Boss Wei in surprise, not understanding what Li Zhi's Tiger Benjun was doing. If you don't make money with the money you spend, you want to sell the grain cheaply to the people?

Boss Wei is not afraid of things, and he has always been able to control the scene. Seeing that the gentry did not listen to his words and lined up, he glared and put his hand on the handle of the handcuff: "Didn't you lords hear me?" If you want to buy food, start queuing, and if you don't buy it, get out! ”

The gentry looked at the handcuff on Boss Wei's waist, and they were a little frightened. Some of the gentry thought that thirty pounds was useless and turned away. Some small landlords pondered that the legs of flies were also meat, and began to line up, ready to buy thirty catties and go back.

Boss Wei nodded and shouted loudly: "Steamed buns!" ”

Mantou and several subordinates of Boss Wei ran over with weighing rods and began to sell grain to the Henan people in the queue.
