Corning wondered what treasures the fellow traveler had stockpiled in his warehouse that gave him the confidence to face the worsening drought.

However, before satisfying your curiosity, you should still play a trick to get away with it.

"The eldest brother showed the family background to the younger brother so quickly, so he was not afraid that the younger brother would be confused for a while and go out to the government to denounce you."

"Haha, Brother Xian still can't believe my sincerity." Xu Hongru was not angry at all, and said with a smile, "It was wrong for the foolish brother to give such a severe test task to the virtuous brother at the beginning, but at this moment, the foolish brother has already cultivated you as a think tank." There are some things that you can't help but tell you, otherwise, it's inconvenient for you to think about it, you say yes. ”

Kang Ning hurriedly criticized himself: "It's the little brother who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"There's no need for Brother Xian's words. Let's take a walk and take a look at the treasures in my warehouse. ”

After that, everyone went out of the villa together under his leadership.

Kang Ning noticed the expressions of Yu Jiuxu and the others in the middle of the road, and found that they were all curious. Obviously, Xu Hongru just took his arrival as an opportunity to show everyone the material accumulation he had made for the next plan. In other words, whether he arrives or not, his next plan will be carried out.

Or, he was originally going to show his plan to everyone in a few days, but he didn't want Kang Ning's thoughts today to coincide with him, so he simply took it out, so it caused Yu Jiuxu and the others to be equally curious.

Which of these two speculations is close to the truth, Corning is really a little unsure. But no matter what, you can see what cards Xu Hongru has in his hand.

Of course, he must always remind himself now that he is facing a time-traveler, and he needs to put on the surprise that a native should have.

After adjusting many times on the way, Kangning felt that his mentality had not yet been adjusted in place, but when he arrived at the place, he was stunned to find that in fact, it was enough to put on a perfect surprised expression without adjustment.

In a mountain col, dense warehouses are lined up. Just by glancing at the style, Corning knew that it was an imitation of the warehouse of later generations. And it's a concrete building, which means that this colleague has already begun to climb the tech tree on his own plane.

At the same time, Corning also noticed that there were many people with knives and guns patrolling back and forth. It shows that this is also a key area for heavy protection.

Xu Hongru triumphantly saw Kang Ning's expression. The group of warehouses in front of you. It was not much in scale in later generations, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it was almost like an ordinary town. A hidden mountain col, which is neither a place where peddlers and pawns must pass through, nor a place that has much significance to the imperial court, suddenly appears a small town. When any natives see it, they will have a surprised expression.

Corning was surprised, but his surprise was not the same as that of the natives. Perhaps the natives would be surprised by the strangeness of the style of the warehouse, the scale of the warehouse group, the concealment of the location, and then think that Xu Hongru must have some ulterior secret, but Kang Ning could only think that if this peer was the protagonist of a certain farming text, then his story must have begun more than one or two volumes.

Of course, Xu Hongru would not have guessed Kangning's expression. All the while, when his cronies saw this warehouse complex. The expression was like this, which made Xu Hongru a little paralyzed, thinking that Kangning's behavior was nothing different.

"Come with me, everybody. I'm going to show you what we're going to do to win hearts and minds in the coming months. ”

Xu Hongru walked in the front alone. The private soldiers in charge of guarding the warehouse saw that it was their respected Brother Xu, so they immediately let him go.

Xu Hongru greeted them, and during the period, there were constantly affectionate names such as dog eggs and cat, and it was obvious that everyone here was a tried and tested traverser.

Everyone followed behind Xu Hongru, and the guards of the receiver looked at him vigilantly. Obviously, even a high-ranking patriarch like Yu Jiuxu. I don't know these people very well.

As for newcomers like Corning, they are even more regarded as the object of their care, scanning and scanning over and over again.

Fortunately, there was no radioactive contamination in their eyes, otherwise Corning would not be far from getting a strange disease like cancer.

Xu Hongru picked a warehouse at random. He took Corning's arm and walked in.

As Corning's eyes adjusted to the darkness within, his expression became surprised again.

The entire warehouse is full of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

This high-yield crop, even if it appeared in the Ming Dynasty, may not have attracted enough attention. Otherwise, Xu Guangqi, who was still trying to grow rice in Tianjin, would not have promoted the cultivation of these things in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" to be published in the future.

But after all, this is a traverser's warehouse, and it is natural that these things appear.

Corning slowly put away his expression. This time, he faked his surprise. Under the dim light, Xu Hongru couldn't see the flaws in a short time, but it was not necessarily after a long time.

What he was going to do next was what every indigenous person had to do.

I only heard his voice tremble slightly and asked, "These...... Can you eat it? ”

"Of course you can eat it." Xu Hongru has long known that someone will ask this, when he was planting in his own field before, and someone once asked, "This is called a potato, that is called a sweet potato, or a sweet potato." Ordinary people's land can have a few hundred catties per acre. ”

Corning knew that under ideal conditions, potatoes could yield three to four tons per acre. But what he was going to do now was to make a look of surprise and ask, "Impossible?" ”

Xu Hongru laughed and said, "I know you don't believe it." I'll take you to my field. None of them planted wheat this year, it was all these things. Looking at it like this, the average yield per mu has to be a few hundred catties. You think, how many people can be fed by this acre of land? What is the current drought? ”

Kang Ning nodded in agreement: "If that's the case, then the idea of the little brother just now is really achievable." With the bread in our hands, we will be generous and gracious, and we will not worry that the believers will not be faithful to us and teach us to smell incense. ”

"Yes." Xu Hongru nodded, "They can't finish eating, so I'm going to sell it to the state capital outside." I am afraid that the foolish men and women in the countryside will not know the preciousness of this thing, and they will spoil it for me. That's not good. ”

Kang Ning didn't expect that the storage was exhausted, and he was overjoyed at the moment: "The younger brother is willing to return to Qingzhou Mansion to help the eldest brother sell." ”

"I think so, too." Xu Hongru took Kang Ning out of the warehouse, and then motioned for the others to walk into the warehouse to have a look. But he turned around and continued to say to Kang Ning, "Brother Xian, you don't know, originally we didn't worry about the wealth of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. There is a maritime group called the Black Coat Society, which often cooperates with us. Let's sell some overseas goods. Their behind-the-scenes boss, Huang Lin, is my fellow countryman. I also trust me very much on weekdays. ”

Kang Ning knew that the Black Clothes Society was related to Xu Hongru, but he didn't expect Xu Hongru to mention to him the confidential matter about financial resources so quickly, and the Huang Lin he mentioned had not received his real name from Jinyiwei before. But Xu Hongru said that it was his fellow countryman. It is likely that the fellow villagers of the traverser are not in the concept of geography, but in the concept of time. Then Huang Lin, the behind-the-scenes boss, is very likely to be a traverser.

At this time, I heard Xu Hongru continue: "Huanglin Road is very wide, and you can get a lot of rare things from your hometown, and some of them will be handed over to me for sale." After all, it is a fellow countryman, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

Kangning was stunned when he heard this. What does it mean to be able to get rare things from your hometown, the hometown of the traverser, that's not ......

No way. This is a complicated situation.

However, this can also explain why the last time I looked at the goods with Wang Sen and others. You can see a lighter with a plastic case.

Xu Hongru didn't notice Kang Ning's strange expression, and continued: "But then all this changed. I exposed Wang Sen's accumulation of money, and then I was retaliated against. He sent men everywhere to cut off my trade routes. Later, it caused Huanglin's products to be unsalable. Huang Lin was very dissatisfied with this, he felt that I couldn't hold my breath, and I didn't have enough strength to turn my face with Wang Sen. Actually, I can't help but admit that he is right. Later, our cooperation gradually diminished. Now, even if Wang Sen lets go of my business route, I have no way to buy goods. Therefore, we can only rely on some grain to get some gold and silver. ”

Corning listened carefully. Although Wang Sen never mentioned how to counterattack Xu Hongru, it was too ruthless to cut off the trade route. At this moment, even upstream suppliers do not cooperate with Xu Hongru. Presumably, this is the reason why the Black Coat Society was able to make a deal with Wang Sen and others.

But whatever the original reason, the current situation. Xu Hongru and Wang Sen are the same. Even Xu Hongru's is worse, that is, he is even hungrier.

Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for him.

"Big brother, don't worry about this. Wang Sen had secretly contacted the Black Clothes Society and wanted to buy goods from them. According to the method of the eldest brother, he gathered money. And I'm the one in charge of that. ”

Xu Hongru's eyes lit up: "This Wang Sen." It's cunning enough. He knew that the Black Coat Society needed a stable mainland consignment group. After running me out, he actually got on his own. Fortunately, there is a virtuous brother, and now, we can do something from it and continue our trade. ”

"That's right." Kang Ning laughed, "It's just that Wang Sen and his gang are extremely strict with me. The type and quantity of the goods were told to me after I sent someone else to discuss them. To put it bluntly, I'm just an escort for silver taels and commodities. ”

"Wang Sen is really not kind enough. But don't worry, brother. I leave this matter to you. I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and you can find a way to get the goods, if you can find a channel to sell, we will share the profits equally. Even if I sponsor your missionary work in Qingzhou Prefecture. But you'll have to send someone to study our teachings here. ”

"Okay, that's it." Kangning took the opportunity to glance at the grain in the warehouse, "But I still have to buy some grain from my eldest brother." ”

"For you." Xu Hongru suddenly said this, which obviously startled Kang Ning, "How much profit can grain make." Or those rare seafood can make more money. Besides, Brother Xian, you are preaching in Qingzhou Mansion, don't you also need these things to win people's hearts? Here in our Yanzhou Mansion, in fact, many people have already followed me to fall for these things. This year, they won't go hungry, if not bad. In fact, there is not much we can exploit. It's your Qingzhou Mansion, if you can stand firm. So for Wang Sen, it is a big blow. ”

Corning nodded in understanding.

"Then I'll take people back to Qingzhou Mansion. Prepare for the relevant matters. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to get the silver ticket. The two cities will then send someone to send you to Qingzhou Mansion. ”

Xu Hongru, who was originally going to keep Kang Ning by his side, finally had to let Kang Ning go. However, Kangning really wanted to observe the every move of this peer in the core area of Xu Hongru.

Instead of crossing the river by feeling the stones, it is better to copy the teacher's work in the original text, so as to save yourself from taking detours.

But what he needs right now is money and food. And Xu Hongru has it all here. It's just that the premise is that he wants to get the rare seafood of the Black Clothes Society.

But this is not a difficult task for him. After all, his father, Kang Zhuang, is in charge of the business in the Denglai area and the area around Qingzhou Mansion.

So Kang Ning took everyone back to Qingzhou Mansion.

But before his plan began, a piece of news that he had been waiting for for a long time entered his ears.

"Yuan Fang is back."

Corning quickly found the distance he had returned, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Did you find what I was looking for?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and looked at Liu Rengong, who took out a bone.

Corning nodded in satisfaction. This is the bone of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and I hope to find the corresponding gene from it.

If you want to resurrect the ancient famous generals, Xiang Yu is naturally one of the best candidates. But there is no gene in the big box. That's why Corning came up with the idea of tomb robbing.

Of course, Yuanfang's task is not limited to this.

"Is there an answer to the letter I sent to my father?"

"There it is." Yuan Fang replied, "A group of tomb robbers have followed us to Qingzhou Mansion. Kang Miao, a housekeeper who is familiar with the trade situation of Xingchen Trading Company, also followed us. ”

"Good!" They are the two groups that Corning needs most right now.

Tomb robbing also requires manpower, and it is definitely not enough to rely on Liu Rengong and Yuan Fang, who does not know how to do it. Therefore, it is necessary for Kang Zhuang to find his old subordinates.

In addition, the Star Trading Company is a branch of the Black Coat Society. Corning is now facing a huge purchase task, so it is necessary to do it as soon as possible, and it is convenient for him to exploit loopholes and so on. After all, it is unlikely that it will be possible to gather 200,000 taels in a short period of time. His only recourse was to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Of course, there is another way. It's the kind of money that pins its hopes on loans from the dead, and there is no return.

Anyway, for the sake of some people's genes, he has already started tomb robbing work. So, just borrow some money from them. (To be continued.) )
