Chapter 258: Another Origin

Zhu Da has no objection to Qin Juren's arrangement, after getting Zhu Da's reply, Zhou Qingyun is going back to the city, according to him, Qin Juren told him to bring back Zhu Da's reply as soon as possible, if Zhu Da has any other ideas here, Qin Juren should deploy and deal with it in time in the county, this move made Zhu Da laugh, Zhu Da didn't think that the sale of stolen goods was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be so important up and down.

When Zhou Qingyun was about to go out, he was stopped by Zhu Da, and Zhu Da asked him to send a message to Qin Juren, saying that he would arrange for someone to repair and clean several houses in his own hands in the city, store as much grain and firewood and grass as possible, and use the county government to levy and mobilize people when necessary.

Zhu Da's several mansions in the city are not small, they are all the property of the Fang family and the Yang family, but the Qin family in the city is not satisfied, and everyone else lives in the grange outside the city, what do these mansions do.

"Some people say that it is snowing here for us, and it is also snowing on the Tartar side, and it is even heavier, and there must be a disaster on such a large snowy grassland, but I am afraid that in a few days I will be able to see the beacon smoke in the sky again." Zhu Da answered Zhou Qingyun's question, and Zhou Qingyun also understood, and left with a solemn face.

Half an hour after Zhou Qingyun left, Chang Kai came with a few carts, but these carts were only loaded with the materials needed by the Grange, and Zhu Da thought that Chang Kai would bring those "stolen goods" with them.

"Brother Zhu, your sister-in-law is just tossing, she doesn't want to think about wool weaving, but last time she asked for cotton, do you want this wool and cotton to be the same thing, I don't know what she wants cotton to do, since my brother and I became a good errand, she has left the spinning and weaving business behind......" A face Changkai first complained a few words and pulled the home.

"Want cotton? If your sister-in-law asks for cotton, you will give it to her. Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and replied quite seriously.

Originally, he was chatting with his family, but he didn't expect Zhu Da to be so solemn, but it made Chang Kai a little stunned, and then he noticed that Zhu Da was inexplicably excited, which made him even more puzzled.

Different paths lead to the same end, the wisdom of the people, the strength of the masses...... A few words flashed in Zhu Da's mind, Liu Yue, Zhou's and Chang Kai's mother-in-law, the three of them were all busy separately, it was impossible for them to get angry, and it was impossible to know each other's progress, but they all started to ask for cotton, and it seemed that the matter of wool weaving had made great progress.

However, Zhu Da didn't stay excited for long, and his attention was drawn to Chang Kai's narrative.

“...... Those goods are not the stolen goods in our county, but the goods of a big man in Datong, who suffered a military disaster, and these goods have become the benefits of Huairen County by mistake......"

“...... However, there are still some shady things in the hands of several team leaders and masters, and they will be sold this time, Lao Lin has already sworn to me, saying that these things cannot be found out, and they will never implicate Brother Zhu......"

“...... Those goods are stored in the county treasury, and they are so worried about hiding, and the outside is piled up with broken grain bags, you say that if you change the county master, when the time comes, the county treasury will be a letter, these goods will really become the public property in the county treasury, what if you can't take it out, when I went out of the city, they were in full swing to count and move, and it was estimated that it would take the afternoon to send it over......"

What Chang Kai said is not much different from what Zhou Qingyun brought, and they corroborate each other, but what Zhu Da is most concerned about now is the progress of several women asking for cotton, which is more important than reselling stolen goods to make a fortune. Chang Kai hasn't gone out yet, but Li He has led Li Cheng over, these days Li Cheng has been very friendly with Li and the same surname, and has proposed to worship and kiss, but Li He politely refused.

"Brother Zhu, if there is no return goods, there is no need to force it, this time the Li family knows that Brother Zhu is their own family, we don't need to be in a hurry, my Li family's caravan is dozens of mouthfuls, and every day people eat horses and chew all they consume Brother Zhu's money and food, so why bother, why don't you say goodbye today?" Li Yuan said very solemnly.

These words really regarded Zhu Da as his own person, and Zhu Da, who heard this, laughed out loud, this reaction made Li Cheng angry, in his opinion, his own sincerity was treated so lightly, did he missee this Zhu Da before.

"Don't worry, the goods will come in the afternoon." Zhu Da said with a smile.

Since Zhu Da said that there are goods to come, Li Jian can only agree first, but he can't help but mutter, if he goes to a place other than Huairen, he can buy some profitable goods, and what Huairen can put together is nothing more than some heavy goods such as grain and homespun cloth, and he can't make any money, and he has to paste some of them, but this Li Yuan adjusted quickly, and when he returned to his residence, he was already self-deprecating and greedy, and this time he made money no matter what he said.

The county's convoy came earlier than expected, and arrived at the Grange half an hour after lunch, a total of twelve carts, all loaded with goods, the carts and goods are okay, what really attracts people's attention is the people and horses escorting the convoy, in addition to the people who drive the carts and carts, there are nearly 100 good people and horses to escort.

At a glance, there were more than 50 of them who were errand officers in the third class, all of whom were young and strong men, while the other thirty or forty people were fresh-faced, but they were all young and strong, and all of them had a fierce spirit.

Zhu Da can deduce that the people who select escorts in the yamen must be able to fight, and those veterans and slippery heads who know how to stand up for a long time are not useful here, but what really makes Zhu Da care is the remaining thirty or forty people, which force are these people in the city?

Fortunately, there are people around him who can ask, and Chang Kai naturally has to follow when he receives the goods, and when he heard Zhu Da's question, he immediately replied: "You see that those dozen or so are the family members of several masters in the city, and those who are dressed in tatters are prisoners in the prison." ”

Zhu Da immediately understood, and then his heart was awe-inspiring, the powerful family in the city said that these prisoners in the prison were what he didn't expect, it was not that he had never heard of it before, the prisoners who committed serious crimes and capital crimes in this prison were actually equal to the slaves of the cell head, and these prisoners wanted to live better in the prison, and even seek a way to survive, so they naturally had to obey the cell boss, and of course it was not a problem to fight hard.

This force is not calculated, Zhu Da blamed himself a little for his negligence, but he didn't worry too much, Huairen County is a small county, and there will not be so many prisoners in the big prison.

Jin Guan Nian and Lin Bantou are here again, Lin Bantou is naturally in command of the team, and Jin Guan Nian also brought eleven officials wearing long robes, these people must be acting as clerical and bookkeepers.

The convoy was led to the cleared clearing, and after the people from the county were settled, the people from the Li family's caravan were also invited.

Li Cheng and the stewards below him were all taken aback when they saw the messengers and prisoners in the open space, some of them were quite calm, some of them had changed their faces, and some people shouted out nonsense like "I said they were going to kill for money", but this reaction was not excessive, and anyone who saw the sudden extra nearly 100 fierce young men with guns and sticks would think of smashing the cup as the number, and the knife and axe hand rushed out of the murderous bridge.

"Your goods have arrived." Zhu Da said with a smile, the reaction and nonsense of the Li family's caravan made him feel funny.

Hearing this, the talents of the Li family caravan calmed down, but everyone from Li Building to the guys below had doubts on their faces, some people muttered in a low voice, "It seems that you can't buy it", and some people whispered a warning, "Don't say a word, how can we make money this time", but there is a lesson when they came over, everyone said very quietly, the people in the caravan are well-informed, and when they saw more than a dozen carts, they felt that it must be the kind of goods that occupy space and are not high.

Li Cheng and the old steward beside him all sternly turned their heads and glanced at everyone, warning everyone not to make the master angry, and the old steward also told the young owner seriously, "Master Zhu took the trouble to get these goods for us for a few days, and it took so much manpower, we can't live up to this friendship."

"Uncle Fu, I understand this truth." Li Gong responded with a smile.

Zhu Da arranged for the refugees to spread the hay on the ground, and commanded the county's convoy to unload the goods on the hay.

"This kid really has a bit of a way, we people are not easy to manage, and this is just a stick of incense." Lin Bantou saw this scene and sighed two sentences to Jin Guannian.

"It's not a ...... old man who taught him," Jin Guannian said disdainfully, he had his own judgment.

When the tarpaulin of the cart was lifted and the goods were moved down one by one, the people of the Li family caravan who were originally unconcerned and forced to smile were all wide-eyed, as a person in the caravan, of course, they were familiar with all kinds of goods, whether it was before or after unpacking, although the goods unloaded on the car were still wrapped in straw bales, oiled paper bales, and even wrapped in cages.

They know very well what specialties Huairen County has, but these unloaded products are definitely not the native products of Huairen County, and even in this small county town, it is impossible to have such a large stock, is it a fraud? But this speculation was quickly overturned by himself, why should the cost be so bothered and solemn.

"Come up and inspect the goods." Zhu Da's words interrupted the Li family's caravan's thoughts.

Li Lou and the old steward and the rest of the caravan exchanged glances, and they all noticed that they were a little confused when they saw each other, but they did not lose their temper for a long time, Li Lou and the old steward pointed the names of seven people and stepped forward together, these stewards and men who were named were all reliable veterans.

Only ten people in the county town stayed on the side of the goods, and the rest were driven to the side of the open space by Zhu Da, otherwise dozens of fierce men with knives and sticks stared at the transaction, no matter how it looked like a fair deal, the reason why the poor men and the prisoners were obedient and obedient was that on the one hand, Zhu Da's Wei Min, on the other hand, the family members and refugees in the grange were patrolling in line with spears, and what made the errand officers uncomfortable was that the young poor people in the grange were more like those in the grange than in the yamen.
