Chapter 146: Some Cruel Night Talk
Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are exchanged for cakes and pickled vegetables, and the price is so cheap, even if the family is reluctant to eat meat, they can make money by reselling it.
"Do you want to sell the people in exchange for cakes and pickles?"
"How is it possible, the people will make their own if they want to eat, who is willing to buy a cake, and when a guest comes to the house, they have to drink and buy meat, and buy cakes and pickles."
Yamen six rooms and three shifts, from the officials to the errand servants, many people are paying attention to what Zhu Da does, these goods are looted by everyone, but they are sold at a discount, before this, everyone can't think of too good ideas except for equal sharing, and they are all curious about what Zhu Da will do after buying it at a low price.
Everyone's mentality is very subtle, on the one hand, they are curious and want to learn a few hands, on the other hand, they are looking forward to Zhu Da smashing in their hands, and the old official business of the household has said that although it is bought at a price of 20%, most of the things can't be sold at all, there are not so many business opportunities in this Huairen County, and they don't move in their hands, and sooner or later they have to sell at a discount.
After knowing this, many people have a plan, you Zhu Da want to sell it in Huairen County, and we will buy it back with half or even lower than the original price, for the people in the Yamen, it is easy to do such a thing on the ground in the county seat.
In addition to the cakes and pickles, Zhu Da bought the house every day without extinguishing the smoke, and the fuel from the sale of firewood and coal was constantly sold, and the news was also passed on, saying that the stove in the house was used to cook chicken and duck eggs, and all the chicken and duck eggs bought were disposed of in this way.
“...... Isn't this still the same as the new village by the river? ”
“...... I heard that this kid has hired a few big trucks to pull these goods out and sell them......"
“...... It's hard to want to go to the business road to sell, it's not bad, but it's just such a plate of loose sand, led by two and a half children, isn't it just a dish after going out? ”
In this Huairen County, there is no news that can be hidden from the people in the yamen, no one is a fool, what kind of preparation you have made, what kind of way you use, so what kind of result you want to get, you can deduce it, especially Zhu Da's past experience is very legendary, there are many people who know, and a comprehensive inference can be drawn.
“...... Second master, do you want to find someone from outside the city......
“...... Do you still need to this? Inside and outside the yamen, inside and outside the city, how many people have already made this idea, let's not do it in a hurry, others can't do it, and if we do it, we can't miss our benefits......"
“...... I heard that this kid also got dozens of wooden guns, and after roasting the pointed ends hard, they were stained with feces and urine, and let those young people practice every day, which is still a bit of a trick......"
“...... The old way of preventing thieves in the countryside, you see who has suffered this loss in the green forest, if you really want to see blood, you still have to have a knife and a horse, and get a few sticks to use ......"
can deduce Zhu Da's intentions, and can also deduce what other people want to do, everyone has their own judgment and plan.
In just a few days, Zhu Da has become a joke among decent people in Huairen County, and it is said that even the magistrate will say a few words when chatting with the master.
From the beginning of the collection of goods to the present, the original variety has become a simple kind, cloth, leather goods, horns, medicinal herbs, flour cakes, pickled vegetables and cooked eggs, in order to package the food received, but also bought some additional jars and cans and oil paper, this extra cost was ridiculed by the people in the county.
Not to mention anything else, even the twenty young people recruited by Zhu Da were impetuous, if they hadn't been able to eat enough every day, I'm afraid they would have run away long ago.
"They have nowhere to go now, the time for farming has not arrived, and a lot of things have been destroyed, no one needs to help with labor, there are not so many industrial and commercial industries in the county, and no one hires them, as for the cultivation of wasteland, they don't have seeds and tools, we can give us food, and others don't have this kindness."
On the eve of departure, Zhu Da called Qin Qin to his room, not even Zhou Qingyun was there, Li He was supervising the young laborers to load the car, the girl had doubts about Zhu Da's actions, and Zhu Da answered without reservation.
After saying this, Zhu Da lowered his voice and said: "I have thought about everything completely, but there is nothing perfect in the world, the business of Hebian New Village and Zheng Jiaji is so good, who would have thought that it would be ruined by the Tartars who suddenly rushed over, this time we went out, it is very likely that we will not be able to come back, you have to make a few preparations." ”
Hearing the words "can't come back", the girl under the light widened her eyes and was violently excited, but Qin Qin did not lose her temper, but continued to listen with a pale face.
"I left Li Degui here, this person is his duty, he deliberately dropped silver money twice a few days ago, and no one fell it anywhere, Li Degui picked it up and returned it, and let him go out to buy without any deductions, if we can't come back, he can still serve with peace of mind in a short time, but you have to pay enough wages and buy people's hearts, do you understand these?"
"My dad said something, I'll try to do it." Qin Qin didn't panic, but nodded in response, but his face was still ugly.
Zhu Da did not question the answer of the ten-year-old girl in front of him, he knew that Qin Xiucai had really told Qin Qin, and Qin Qin had really applied what he had learned.
"But people's hearts are unpredictable, you can't treat Li Degui as a good person, you must always be vigilant, I am not at home, the short knife on your body must be with you at all times, the method I taught you to deal with it cannot be broken, the golden beans on your cuffs and belt cannot be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary, it is not to sell your life at a critical moment, but to please at a critical moment." Zhu Da stared at Qin Qin and said, he said that these are no longer within the scope of a ten-year-old girl, but at this juncture, I have to say that Zhu Da also believes that Qin Qin will work hard to understand and do it.
"If you feel that there is something going on, your last trick is to run towards the county government, find a place with many people and ask the lord to call the shots for you, you must report who your father is a showman, and you must say that your father will share half of the family property when he comes back, no matter who tells you to leave, only when you enter the yamen, do you understand?"
"Brother Zhu, can't I go out of the city with you?"
"In case of a mistake, you will be dead, you still have a chance to live in the city, your father came back from Taiyuan, he will enter the city no matter what, Qin Qin, you are a girl, if you really suffer, it will be miserable, but you must live, as long as you live, everything is possible, do you understand?"
There are some things that Zhu Da still refuses to explain, it is too cruel to say so clearly to a child, but when it comes to this point, it is already very cruel, and Qin Qin can understand most of them.
The girl was silent for a while, stared at Zhu Da and said, "Brother Zhu, is my father still alive?" Will he definitely come back? Or are you coaxing me. ”
"When the Tartars were in turmoil, your father should be in Taiyuan, I don't know his life and death, it is very likely that he is alive, he will definitely come back, I will not coax you."
"Brother Zhu, you should coax me."
Zhu Da felt very tired after chatting with the girl, Qin Qin knew a lot, Zhu Da had a judgment, the most transparent among these companions at present were Qin Qin and Li He, and the others didn't understand as much as they did.
After coming out of the house, Zhu Dan could hear the twenty young laborers disperse, and Li He's shouting, "Everyone come early tomorrow, we will go out as soon as the city gate opens", and everyone responded loudly.
Zhu Da went directly to the stable, he and Zhou Qingyun's mounts were raised over there, these days there is a lot of material, the horses are fully recuperated, the fur is shiny, full of spirit, when he went, Zhou Qingyun was there to wash the horses, check the harness, this is a necessary homework before the departure, but also Yuan Biao has strictly requested, if the preparation is not sufficient, if there is a problem in the battle, it is a matter of life and death, for this requirement, the two of them have been implementing it very well.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Qingyun said, "Actually, we can also go out of the city later." ”
Zhu Da didn't answer immediately, and after a quiet while, he said: "You won't be able to make money in a few days, and if you want to be rich, you have to take risks." ”
"You take this wealth too seriously, you didn't look like this when you were in the duck egg business in the past." There was no emotion in Zhou Qingyun's words.
"If you don't get rich, you can't keep anything, so I want to be rich." Zhu Da replied in a deep voice, in his heart, "wealth" and "strength" in this era mean the same thing.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun slept very late this night, they were used to using four bows, this time they brought together, two Pu knives, two Yanling knives, and more than a hundred arrows.
If there is no way to have so many arrows in stock outside the border towns, and they are still used in the military bow, thanks to the border towns of Datong, no matter how much they are armed and wasted, they are much stronger than the mainland, and the storage of this bow and arrow is one of the manifestations.
When he set off the next day, Qin Qin led the little red out to deliver it, but it stopped at the door of the inner courtyard, Li Degui was a little reluctant to stay, and Zhang Jinbei got a knife, and his face glowed with joy.
I thought that after saying so many things last night, Qin Qin might have some irrational behavior, but I didn't expect the girl to be very quiet today, but the words were much less than usual, and she only said "Have a good trip" and "Come back early".
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun got on the horse, Zhang Jinbei trotted behind, as for Li He had already gone to the city gate, the bulk of the goods were still there, and they should be busy loading the car at this time, sure enough, when they arrived at the city gate, several carts were already full, and they were tied firmly with ropes and tarpaulins, and the twenty young people were all here, they were well fed these days, but they felt powerful with a simple wooden gun in their hands, and they were very elated.
The sky has already dawned, there is still half an hour before the city gate is opened, and the refugees who have entered the city in the past few days are still returning to their hometowns, and there are already many people waiting here.
"Brother Zhu!" The voice of greeting was very hoarse, Zhu Da didn't hear who it was, and looked in the direction of the voice, it was actually Chang Kai, he was cating in an inconspicuous place, but his clothes were very tattered, and he had a straw hat on his head, which was unrecognizable at first glance.
