When the second brother came to the middle camp, he was immediately stopped by the soldiers of the middle power camp guarding the camp, and a small character like him could not enter the camp if he wanted to.

Although there are not many rules for the people attached to the army, and there are often small leaders who lead their subordinates to leave the team and find another way, but Li Zicheng's five battalions still have relatively strict military regulations.

In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty turned its attention to Guanwai, so that Li Zicheng had time to breathe, and when the Ming Dynasty turned its attention again, Li Zicheng had a million troops, including 60,000 elite old camps, and more than 20,000 mules and horses.

After Gao Zurong came to the Zhongquan Camp to be Li Yan's staff, Gao Yihuan once came to the Zhongquan Camp and obtained two military books through his old man, namely "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Records of Military Training", which are two of the top ten military books in ancient China.

Although the rules of the Zhongquan camp are stricter, people are alive. The second brother skillfully took out a bag of salt from his arms, stuffed it to Zhou Ronghua, the leader of the guards, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou still remembers me?" My father is Gao Zurong, a staff member of Li Gongzi, and I will trouble my eldest brother to help spread the word again. ”

When the leader saw him, he was a little impatient, unwilling to pick up his cloth bag, last time he didn't see it, thinking it was something good, his heart fluttered in his arms, and he went to report it, and when he opened it in private, he didn't get angry, and the cloth was actually a piece of bread.

"Who the hell is your brother, go away, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu on duty, is the Zhongquan camp a place where you can come." Zhou Ronghua looked unhappy.

He is a person in charge of the brigade and a person in the Zhongquan battalion, and in the future, Li Zicheng will win the world, they are all heroes of Conglong, and they are much more valuable than the second brother Gao's subordinates.

He glanced at the second brother angrily, and wanted to push the second brother aside, but the second brother grabbed his hand, stuffed the cloth bag into his hand, and said again and again: "Big brother, big brother, you take a look first, take a look first, don't be in a hurry to refuse......"

The two turned their backs to everyone, Gao Yihuan was plugged, Zhou Ronghua pushed, and the two were pulling around, as if they were fighting.

Zhou Guorong was a little impatient by the second brother, holding the cloth bag in his hand, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, not the feel of the cake.

"Brother, it's salt." Gao Yihuan laughed.

Zhou Ronghua was slightly stunned, hurriedly opened it and looked at it, stretched out his hand and licked it in his mouth, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and then he asked in surprise: "Where did you get it?"

Gao Yihuan said with a smile: "The little brother went out to do something, and he got some by luck."

Because of the turmoil in Zhongzhou, the merchants were cut off, and the grain from the south of the Yangtze River and the salt from the two Huai could not be transported to Kaifeng, resulting in the price of grain and salt.

The cakes Gao Yihuan ate in the camp were basically not salty, and the Zhongquan camp was not much better, and the soldiers' mouths faded out of the birds.

When supplies are scarce, silver is often not as good as the physical goods.

"Since it's the brother's meaning, then the brother will accept it." Zhou Ronghua's expression took a big turn, he carefully put the cloth bag in his arms, and complained: "It's all my own brothers, don't be so polite next time!"

Gao Yiqi was selling criticism in his heart, but he smiled on his face and said, "Big brother, then my business~"

"You wait, my brother will let someone inform you now." Saying that, he turned his head to a subordinate and commanded loudly: "Ma Wu, you go to Li Gongzi's side to find Mr. Gao, and just say~ Just say that his son is here."

The soldier, named Ma Wu, said yes, and went to the camp.

At this time, Zhou Guorong suddenly pulled Gao Yihuan aside again, and asked mysteriously: "Brother, my brother asked you something, do you still have this salt?"

Gao Yihuan thought that this guy was going to knock him on the bamboo pole, his face couldn't help but change, Zhou Ronghua looked at his expression, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't get me wrong, my brother is not so greedy, my brother will exchange the silver with you." You also know that people don't eat salt, their mouths are tasteless, and they don't have energy, and my brother wants to get some for my brothers. ”

Gao Yihuan listened, his eyes rolled, "Don't hide it from my brother, brother, I still have some money, but I don't lack silver!" ”

Zhou Ronghua was a little excited when he heard that he still had salt, "I don't want silver, I can exchange food." As for the bread you gave to your brother, can you eat it every day, my brother will give you some good face, and you can ask for meat. ”

Hearing the previous cake, Gao Yihuan's face couldn't help but blush slightly, but he was worried about how to change food, and he couldn't help but whisper when he heard it: "Brother has a way to get food?"

Zhou Ronghua smiled mysteriously, "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother-in-law is in charge of thousands of people's military supplies, and the brothers in the other battalions, as long as they bring good things, they can get some food." He whispered, "We often do this, as long as you have salt, my brother can exchange it for food."

Gao Yihuan was a little surprised, he may have met a corrupt gang that specializes in reselling military funds inside the army.

However, when I thought that Li Zicheng's wife in charge of logistics could run away with his subordinate general Gao Jie, it was not surprising to encounter this kind of thing.

Damn, Li Zicheng hasn't won the world yet, the team is so chaotic, it seems that he should have gone ashore earlier.

Gao Yihuan hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Okay, I still have some salt, just ask the eldest brother for some of you, can you exchange the silver for food?" ”

Zhou Ronghua was overjoyed when he saw him agree, salt is a good thing, better than silver, and these things pass through his hands, he naturally wants to make a profit, he immediately nodded, "Salt is no problem, but the price of silver for grain may be more expensive." ”

Under normal circumstances, salt is only five cents of silver per catty, but it is too scarce, and when there is really no need to eat, the folk also have the saying of "three quintals of rice and one catty of salt", but now food is also scarce.

The grain of about two taels and one stone in the south of the Yangtze River has reached eight taels in Fengqiu, and the closer to Kaifeng, the more expensive the price of grain will become, so it is unlikely that the second brother wants to "three loads of rice and one pound of salt".

"What's the price?" Gao Yihuan asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Ronghua smiled brightly on his face, stretched out a hand, the second brother knew at a glance that this guy was a veteran, but he didn't know how to do this, so he pretended to be bold and said: "Big brother, you just say it, little brother, I don't have anything to say."

"Okay, Brother Gao, I've made a friend." Zhou Ronghua pondered for a moment, "Since my brother is so refreshing, then your brother Zhou will not take advantage of you, the grain will be sixteen taels and one stone, and if you exchange it for salt, it will be ten catties and one stone, how about it?" ”

Gao Yihuan frowned, this is a big more expensive than him in Fengqiu, "Then I'll change the four stones first, and then I'll find Brother Zhou to change it when I have salt in the future." ”

It's so expensive, and the second brother's family background is not thick, so it's better to keep some of it first and see if you can change it from other channels.

Zhou Ronghua was a little anxious when he heard that only four stones were exchanged, he felt that Gao Yihuan still had it in his hand, and was about to say more, when Gao Zurong had already come to the camp gate.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan set aside Zhou Ronghua and hurriedly greeted him, "Dad! ”

It can be seen that unlike Gao Yihuan, the old man in the Zhongquan camp should be very moisturized in life, his body is very healthy, and his complexion is also very ruddy.

"Why, what about the last two books I went to?" Gao Zurong smiled, "Is there something I don't understand, although my father has never read a military book, he knows a little bit." ”

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "Dad, I'm not asking you about the military book, I want to see Li Gongzi, Dad, can you help?" ”

"All the nonsense, Li Gongzi is what you can see when you say it?" Gao Zurong straightened his face, but in the end he said softly: "What are you going to do when you see Li Gongzi?"

Gao Yihuan pointed to Fan Dongling, who was being escorted on the side, and whispered in Gao Zurong's ear......
