Chapter 002 Four Hundred Thousand Stones

A ferocious kick struck, heading straight for the gray-shirted boy's left side of the abdomen, the boy did not dodge or dodge, and his left hand was hammered back, barely blocking this sharp kick. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gray-shirted boy had a tough encounter this time, although he suffered a small loss, but it was really unexpected by his opponent, and this seemed to be exactly what he hoped for.

I saw that after he took this move, his right foot took a step forward suddenly, and he was bullied closely, and his right hand fist, which had been stored for a long time, suddenly burst out at this moment, smashing into the heart of the young man in white, and the castration was extremely fast.

The young man in white couldn't regain his momentum, and he was about to be punched, but at this critical moment, he didn't see any movement from the young man in white, so his body moved half a step and retreated. With such a gap, the left palm of the young man in white had already met him, just enough to hold the opponent's punch with all his strength.

Although it couldn't completely block this punch, it also removed seventy percent of the opponent's strength. And at the same time that his left palm was smashed into his shoulder by the opponent's fist, the right knee of the young man in white had already risen and crashed into the crook of the arm of the gray-shirted young man.

Bang, bang, bang made several muffled sounds in a row, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already fought fiercely several times.

"Young master, the big butler is back." A sturdy middle-aged man walked quickly to the martial arts training ground and said respectfully.

"Well, well, it looks like everything is going well." On the martial arts training ground, a young master who was only twelve or thirteen years old sat in the center, and on the left and right sides of this young master, there were more than a dozen young men who had finished their strong suits, and they were all nervously watching the competition between the two in the field at this time.

In the field, the white-clothed young man made a false move, slashing the opponent's neck with one palm, and the castration was so fast that it was unavoidable. The gray-shirted boy was also ruthless, not dodging or dodging, and punched the opponent's heart.

"Uncle Tiger, do you think their kung fu is still improving?" While watching the competition in the field, the little young master asked the middle-aged man with bulging muscles.

"Little Eleven is getting better and better, Ah Da is not bad, compared to a month ago, he has made a lot of progress." The middle-aged man Zhao Hu is sturdy and sharp-eyed, and obviously has good skills.

"Uncle Tiger, do you think Ah Da has such a fierce way of playing today?"

"Ah Da, this kid is really good today, but if you want to win Eleven, it's still difficult." Zhao Hu's kung fu is not bad, and his eyesight is also good, and he can see that although the two of them are fighting fiercely, they are actually about to tell the winner.

Looking at these later generations, Zhao Hu was actually very envious. These poor boys are all from farmers and tenants, and they were originally shaving their lives from the ground to eat, and they can't see a head in their lives.

But since they have been valued by the young master, they have not had to worry about food and clothing for a few years, and now they have laid a good foundation at a young age, and they have good skills, and they will surpass him Zhao Hu in the future, I am afraid that it will not be difficult.

Although he Zhao Hu was born from the Zhao family, his status was low, and he didn't get such a good training from them since he was a child, but he just practiced some boxing and kicking in addition to doing some miscellaneous labor. Later, because he entered the army with his master, he practiced hard kung fu after a few years.

Zhao Hu was thinking about it, only to see the white-clothed young man in the field kick the opponent with his left fist, and followed by a stride, which was the same as the previous gray-shirted young man's move, which was interesting. It's just that when his right fist followed, the gray-shirted boy who was short of breath was already powerless to dodge and didn't have time to fight back.

With a pop, the gray-shirted young man flew out, fell heavily to the ground, pressed his hands to his chest, and kept panting, but he fell out of the circle, and he still lost in the end.

The young man in white hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "How is it?" Although the gray-shirted young man's heart was still painful, he still smiled and hammered him: "In the end, you kid is still amazing!" ”

"Good! Today is the first place of eleven, and Ah Da is not bad today, everyone has benefited. It just so happens that Uncle Tiger is back, so please ask Uncle Tiger to give you a few hands. "The little young master is only twelve or thirteen years old, standing up, he is still a head shorter than Zhao Hu, but his eyebrows are delicate, and he is ninety percent similar to Zhao Ning in the third year of high school." Uncle Tiger, let the thirteen of them go together? ”

Zhao Hu was originally a fighting man who had been in the battle array, and he couldn't ask for the competition, "Okay, thirteen is thirteen, let me see how much they have benefited." ”

"Listen, everyone, let go of your hands and feet, if you can put down Uncle Tiger, I will add you ten catties of beef for dinner."

These boys already have inexhaustible strength, and after hearing the young master's words, they became even more energetic, and their eyes began to shine.

Soon, the thirteen boys surrounded Zhao Hutuan, who was pulling out the stance, but no one dared to make a rash move.

Although they are not very old, they all have good strength. It's just that the Zhao Hu in front of him is by no means ordinary.

He, Wang Long, Li San, and Li Si were all guards sent by the Zhao Family's Sect to the little young master Zhao Ning. More than ten years ago, when they went out with their previous master to release horses, they already had the strength of a warrior, and later they were sent to Zhao Ning.

It is important to know that the warrior is not an ordinary soldier, but a name from the name of the soldier saint Wu Zi.

In order to train an elite soldier, Wu Zi had strict selection criteria, and the selected soldiers had to be able to wear three layers of heavy armor, hold a halberd, hang a sword at the waist, carry a large oar, bring a strong crossbow and fifty crossbow arrows, plus three days of military rations, and march hundreds of miles in half a day.

After such a rigorous selection of soldiers, can be called a martial soldier, Wu Zi because of the training of a tens of thousands of soldiers, so that can win a hundred battles, rampant in the world, by later generations known as a generation of soldiers.

Although today's Great Xia is at the peak of its national strength, it can't find an army composed of pure warriors and strong men.

And among the four guards sent by the Zhao family to Zhao Ning, Zhao Hu is the strongest one, and now looking at the entire Dune County, I am afraid it is difficult to find a character who can match it.

In the face of such an opponent, even if the teenagers fight one by a dozen, they don't dare to have any contempt for it.

And Zhao Hu didn't dare to take it lightly in the face of these dozen boys. Although he was conceited, he also knew that two fists were invincible to four hands, and if he was embraced by these boys, it would be difficult for him to show it, so he shot first.

I saw that after he made a false move, he attacked Eleven, the strongest of these boys.

When Zhao Hu was finally restrained, the teenagers had already paid a considerable price, and several of the boys' faces were already bruised and swollen, but they still showed bright smiles.

Zhao Ning knew that the teenagers were actually invincible, after all, in such a competition, the teenagers could give full play to their numerical advantages, but Zhao Hu couldn't really come up with ten successful husbands, at least in terms of strength, there were still reservations. Otherwise, if he punches with all his strength, no matter which teenager will inevitably break his tendons and fractures.

However, Zhao Ning is still very happy to see the progress of these teenagers, and he believes that one day, they will grow into a force to be reckoned with.

When Zhao Ning returned to the study after watching the competition, a housekeeper in his forties was already waiting there. "Young master, it seems that we have calculated correctly, and the first step has been successfully completed."

"Uncle Lian has worked hard, and he has almost finished harvesting?"

"Yes, young master. So far, we have collected a total of 400,000 stone of grain, and spent 1,500 taels of gold (one tael of gold can be exchanged for 10,000 copper coins), and the surplus grain on the sand dune ground has basically been collected by us. The price of grain has also risen to 150 cents per stone. Seeing the young master ask, the housekeeper Uncle Lian added.

"Very good, Uncle Lian really has a calculation, and the time is not bad every day. My plan can only be carried out so smoothly in the hands of you, Uncle Lian. Wang County Lieutenant them? ”

"Lord Wang's men and horses are also about to arrive at our village at this time, and the things to greet them have been arranged, so the young master can rest assured."

"Okay, then you are always open, with you, what else do I have to worry about?"

Zhao Ning really admires this Uncle Lian, so he can rest assured that many things will be handed over to Uncle Lian, and Uncle Lian has never let him down.

The chief housekeeper, Uncle Lian, like Zhao Hu, was sent to Zhao Ning by the Zhao family's sect. They are all born from the Zhao family, and these people's abilities are trustworthy, and their loyalty is even more trustworthy. They all thought that Zhao Ning didn't know what happened that night, but in fact he knew everything.

It was twelve years ago, just a few days after Zhao Ning was born, he and his mother, escorted by Uncle Lian and others, came to this small county of sand dunes on the border for thousands of miles.

On a dark and windy night, a group of black-clothed people attacked Zhao Ning and his party. Uncle Lian and others fought to protect each other, and Zhao Ning's mother and son were able to save their lives, and the huge scar on Zhao Hu's chest was left that night.

According to Zhao Ning's memory, when they set off from the place where he was born, there were more than a dozen people in Uncle Tiger. Now there were only four of them left, because everyone else had died that night. Zhao Ning will not forget that bloody night, nor will he forget these people who fought desperately for him.

He hadn't brought up that night in years, only because his instincts had told him that pretending not to know about it would make everyone safer.

Although he wanted to know who wanted to kill him, and even more so who the other group of men in black who saved them were, he never asked.

"Brother Tiger, do you think there will be anything wrong with this time? These days, our young master has collected the surplus grain from the entire Dune County, and forcibly pushed the grain price of 30 yuan per stone to 150 yuan per stone, how much gold does this cost? You said that if something went wrong on the buyer's side......" Looking at the food in front of him, which was enough for 20,000 troops to eat for a year, Wang Lung was always a little uneasy in his heart.

"Don't talk nonsense! After so many years, when did you see Lian Ye do a discounted business? With Lian Ye here, what are you doing there? "Zhao Hu and the others have all played from childhood to adulthood, and they have fought together on the battlefield, and they have deep feelings for each other, and he is the biggest of these people, and he is not polite when he speaks." Take the time to check it again and do your job! ”

"That's it, let's just do our part well, those brain-consuming work, naturally the young master and Lian Ye are worried about, when will you be used?" Li San also echoed on the side.

"Yes, yes. Look at our young master, but he gave 10,000 stone of grain to the imperial court, so he transferred the county lieutenant Wang and the entire 100-person team of officers and soldiers to us as guards, with the imperial qi to protect the body, let him Baihe Village, Baitou Mountain or Chizui Peak, no matter how powerful the bandit is, he would not dare to come to fight our idea of hundreds of thousands of stone grain, such a method, knock the head can you think of it? Seeing that everyone was joking about squeezing Wang Lung, even Li Si, who was used to being silent, came up to help.

"Gotta get it, I'm just asking casually, look at a few of you who said this time, you came up with the idea? Did you come out? It's like your head is better than mine! Hurry up and help me look around, finish the work early, and let's go in and have a drink. Wang Lung's words made the boss bored, and shouted and retorted.

That night everyone dispersed happily.

Because of the officers and soldiers accompanying them, the journey from Zhaozhuang to the county seat of Shadune on the second day was naturally safe. Although 400,000 stone grain is very tempting, no gang of bandits has dared to challenge the official army head-on.

After all, this is still the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the thieves are just some people who have no way to live, and they have not yet risen up to challenge the ability of the imperial court.

"Zhao Gongzi is really good this time, this large amount of grain, there must already be a buyer, right?" Looking at the huge convoy, County Lieutenant Wang couldn't help but ask.

He Wang County Lieutenant is not a fool, looking at the 400,000 stone grain in front of him, of course he knows that although he is nominally here to receive Zhao Ning's contribution, he is actually here to be a cheap bodyguard for others, but he is not annoyed at all, and even looks forward to finding himself with more such things.

Zhao Ning gave 10,000 stone of grain to the imperial court this time, although it was not a large amount, but it was reported as the county order and his achievements as a county lieutenant, which showed that their local governance was good and the people were well educated. Under their rule, the common people not only had enough food and clothing, but also were willing to contribute so much food to the imperial court, what a beautiful political achievement.

Moreover, although this Zhao Gongzi is only twelve years old, he knows the rules very well, and he did not let him run this trip in vain.

"At this moment, I am not afraid to say that with Lord Wang, the 400,000 stone grains in the late birth do already have buyers. The buyer will arrange a dinner party in Tianxiangju in the county seat tonight, where he will deliver this batch of grain with Wansheng. If you don't give up, I hope that Lord Wang can also go with you and testify for your later life. ”

County Lieutenant Wang thought to himself, "Of course you are not afraid to tell me at this time, the grain in the county has been harvested for you, who else can rob you of this big business?" ”

"In that case, it would be disrespectful to be a brother," County Lieutenant Wang agreed with a smile, lowered his body again, and asked in a low voice, "What is the price of this large amount of grain for Brother Xian?" I heard that Zhao Gongzi received these grains in the end, but they came out at a high price of one hundred and fifty yuan per stone, so this selling price? ”

Zhao Ning also bowed slightly forward immediately, but did not speak, but stretched out two fingers.

"Two, two hundred?"

This can frighten County Lieutenant Wang, this year's Dune County is smooth and rainy, and it is a rare harvest year. When the new grain first came down, the price of grain was already as low as 30 yuan per stone, far lower than the market price of about 100 yuan in an ordinary year.

Although in the past month, due to Zhao Ning's continuous purchases, the price of grain has continued to rise, and finally reached the current level of 150 yuan per stone, but Wang County Lieutenant also thought that Zhao Ning was trying to make up the amount, and the tens of thousands of stones collected at a high price in the end might be a loss when he sold it.

After all, in the end, if you can sell the 400,000 stone grain at a price of one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan per stone, you will already make a lot of money.

I don't want Zhao Ning to say that the selling price of these grains is two hundred yuan per stone, which is too appalling.

This also made him more curious about the buyer, and at the same time, he began to mumble in his heart, "This little son of the Zhao family, shouldn't he be deceived?" ”
