With Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng to help, the speed of counting was much faster, and within a few days, the money and grain borrowed from the rich gentry, as well as the materials left by Liu Liangzuo, were counted.

A total of 34,500 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of grain, of which 500 taels were originally owned by the second brother, and another 1,000 taels were left, except for Zhao Yingyuan, the mighty general who was ready to deal with Shangqiu, the rest were divided between the second brother Gao and Liu Heizi.

Among them, the second brother got 20,300 taels of silver and 6,000 stones of grain. At present, the second brother has nearly 800 people, and if all of them are paid, he will need more than 1,000 taels a month, and more than 20,000 taels of silver will be enough for him for a year and a half, and the food will be enough for these soldiers and their families to eat for two years.

If he farms honestly, it is impossible for the second brother to solve the problem of food and salary at once, and sure enough, only by getting rich can his strength grow rapidly.

At this time, the second brother is equivalent to completing the first round of financing, and the development of strength has entered a fast lane, but he will definitely not put all this money and food there, he will leave half of it for his subordinates to spend, and the other half will resell materials between the army and the Ming Dynasty to continue to accumulate wealth.

This time, Liu Heizi also got a lot of benefits, 13,200 taels of silver, and 4,000 stones of grain, but he borrowed a lot of people from several other captains, and he must give others some benefits, as for how to divide it, it is not a matter of the second brother.

In addition to money and food, the battlefield and the city also seized a set of iron armor, 300 sets of cotton armor, Miao knives, spears, rattan cards, fire guns are nearly 100 pounds, 100 catties of gunpowder, and two war horses.

For these things, the second brother wanted the fire gun, Liu Heizi wanted the cotton armor to support the scene, and after the two discussed for a while, the second brother finally asked for the iron armor, moved a yellow horse, and a hundred sets of cotton armor and all the fire guns and gunpowder, and the remaining two hundred sets of cotton armor, as well as all the Miao knives and spears were returned to Liu Heizi.

In addition, the sixty or seventy officers and soldiers who were captured were also divided according to the ratio of June Fourth. When the second brother was assigned this time, he thought carefully, he took all the people whose families were in Bozhou, and if they were not, they were distributed to Liu Heizi.

In the east city of Bozhou, more than 1,000 people and horses of Liu Heizi, driving vehicles full of grain and silver money, gathered at the city gate, ready to return to Yongcheng.

Gao Yihuan led a group of people to see Liu Heizi off, he pulled Liu Heizi to the side of the road, and suddenly said: "Brother Liu, we have a happy cooperation this time, how about I give you another way to make money?"

Liu Heizi was worried that the official army would come back to fight Bozhou, so he was in a hurry to evacuate, he looked at the team that had been loaded and ready to go, and said a little absent-mindedly: "What other way to make money?" Brother Gao, I'll be honest, this trip is enough for my brother for a while, and after I go back, I'm going to train my people and horses, and I don't want to fight in the near future. ”

This time, Liu Heizi saw the gap between himself and Gao Yihuan, and he decided to train his troops well, and he didn't plan to send troops to fight again.

It's not that he has any benefits, but Bozhou is just sandwiched between Luyi and Yongcheng, and the officers and soldiers are afraid of being dumplings, so there are not many garrisons, and others such as Suzhou, Mengcheng, and Xiaoxian are places where the officers and soldiers are heavily stationed.

Gao Yihuan knew that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly smiled: "It's not to fight the city." ”

"What is the way to make money if you don't fight the city?" Liu Heizi was a little puzzled.

Gao Yihuan despised him in his heart, this reckless man didn't know any other way to make money except for robbery.

Gao Yihuan immediately explained, "There is coal near Yongcheng, oh, there is charcoal, you ask people to find it, if you find it, I will give you silver, you let my people mine it, or you mine it and sell it to me, it will be done!" ”

Liu Heizi still knows about the charcoal, and the big families in Chen Liucheng use it to heat their homes in winter.

"How do you buy and sell this?" Liu Heizi's eyes narrowed, and the light flickered.

Gao Yihuan said: "I can tell you that I have a great need for this charcoal, and this can only be discussed after you find it, Brother Liu." ”

Hearing Gao Yihuan say this, Liu Heizi took this matter to heart, after all, he can train in Yongcheng at the same time, and he can have an extra way to make money, which is also a good thing for him.

"Okay, then after I return to Yongcheng, I'll find Brother Gao." Liu Heizi nodded and said arrogantly.

Gao Yihuan saw that he agreed, so he immediately hugged a fist and said goodbye: "Then it's decided." Good brother, have a safe journey! ”

Liu Heizi also hugged his fists and said: "Good brother, let's meet again!" ”

At that moment, Liu Heizi limped into a big car and led the people to look at Yongcheng, Gao Yihuan saw them go away, so he led his subordinates to turn around and return to the city.

"Daxian, Xinghao, Liu Heizi is gone, we should also retreat." Gao Yihuan said to the people around him as he walked: "Wait a while, the two of you will prepare, and then escort Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng to take the money, food and materials back to Luyi." ”

The two nodded, but Xinghao asked, "Second brother, what about you?" Don't you come with us? ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "I stayed with Shizhao and Zhuzi, and there is still something to do." ”

On that day, Zhao Daxian and others loaded the money and grain into the vehicle, escorted nearly 2,000 people, and transported the supplies north to Luyi.

In the hall of the Bozhou County Government, Gao Yihuan sat on the main seat, and the cramped and restless half of the horseman sat on the side.

The second brother looked at him and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't dare to speak, so he smiled and said: "Did Ma Yuanwai want to ask me, others can go back after paying money and grain, why did I leave you in the county office?" ”

Ma Yuanwai was told about the central matter, and said with a sad face: "King, I have explained everything that should be explained, and the old child has nothing to hide!" ”

"Don't be nervous outside the horse, I didn't want to do anything to you when I left you, and you don't want to call me any king, just call me Gao Duwei." Gao Yihuan stretched out his hand and flicked the dust on his chest, "I believe you can also see that I am different from the black carbon, I don't want to be a rogue." ”

Ma Yuanwai also felt that the person in front of him seemed to have a problem with his brain, he really had never seen a thief who robbed and gave people an IOU.

Ma Yuanwai was a little confused about the way of the second brother Gao, but he felt that the second brother was indeed better talking than the black charcoal head, he hesitated for a while, and asked boldly: "What does it mean that Gao ~ Gao Duwei left the old child behind?" If there is anything that can be used by the old boy, the old boy will never refuse. ”

A smile leaked from Gao Yihuan's face, "It's just waiting for the horseman." Saying that, Gao Yihuan paused, leaned forward a little, and said: "This time I have lost a lot of money outside the horse, and I am a little reluctant not to go, so I want to give the horseman a way to make money." ”

The horseman's heart was tight, and he was a little nervous, and he said in his heart, don't give any money.

Gao Yihuan continued: "Ma Yuan is outside Bozhou, close to Henan, should know that the price of grain in Henan is very expensive now, and it has risen to more than ten taels and one stone early, but the price of grain in Jiangnan is at most three taels." Gao Yihuan smiled and said, "Didn't the horsemen find the huge business opportunities in this?"

Such an obvious price surprise, Ma Yuanwai naturally knew, and immediately said a little surprised: "The king~Duwei means to let me resell the grain~"

Gao Yihuan nodded, "How about we work together?" ”

Ma Yuanwai shook his head with some fear and said: "King, this matter is strictly investigated by the government, and it will be over if the old child is caught by the official army, the king should spare the old child."

The Jiangnan gentry and Li Chuang are naturally opposed in terms of position and class attributes, and the anti-thieves in various places are still very powerful.

Gao Yihuan didn't give up, and continued: "I know that the official army is very good at investigating, so before doing this, I want to ask you to go and see Liu Liangzuo first, and say that I am willing to give up Bozhou and let him do it conveniently, or he can also participate~"
