Chapter 124: The Blood of the Merchant

Lao Zhang retracted his gaze: "I need you to raise 50,000 gold coins, 300,000 silver coins and 500,000 catties of grain for me." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's very difficult for Donghai City to raise so much gold, silver, and food at once." Lao Yanfei said, looking at Lao Zhang with dead eyes.

"What's the difficulty, it's all vampires, misers, if the White Turban Army invades the city, they will lose everything, even their lives, if there is such a little thing, they will have difficulties," Lao Zhang couldn't help but scold, after all, he was young and not old enough, "It's not for nothing, not only give them titles, but also let them earn it back in the future." ”

"Businessmen are only interested in profit, after all, they only want immediate benefits, let alone such a large amount of money and grain." Lao Ye explained in due course.

"I was also forced to be helpless, so I made this decision, although Wolf Mountain County did not open his mouth to ask for money and food, but if he didn't take out some real things, they wouldn't act at all, and you know the financial situation of Donghai County," Lao Zhang said excitedly, "When the White Turban Army didn't rebel, it could only barely survive, and now only this Donghai City is left, the situation is so bad that what else can be done, if you want the sergeants to work hard, you must ensure their pensions and salaries, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the sergeants." ”

Lao Zhang paused for a while and continued: "The conscription army on the Jidong Pass has not sent military salaries and food for more than half a month, and if it is not delivered, something will happen sooner or later, this matter can not be delayed, and the news that I have released the recruitment of mercenary groups in Wolf Mountain County and other counties must have already responded to the mercenaries, and when the mercenaries arrive, but a large amount of expenses, I have to prepare in advance, I hope you can understand." ”

"Understood." Lao Yanfei hurriedly replied.

Labor is not willing to lag behind.

"Don't worry, as long as you complete the mission I gave you, I guarantee that your family will return to your side safe and sound, that is, in the future, you will repel the White Turban Army and completely destroy it, you will still be your county and lord, I will not move your position, you can rest assured." Lao Zhang said it very lightly.

Lao Ye became uneasy, and hurriedly explained: "Young master, I didn't expect that the guest next to me turned out to be a spy of the White Turban Army, and I have absolutely no connection with the White Turban Army. ”

Yesterday, Lao Ye actually received the news that one of the doormen in his house had become a spy of the White Turban Army, and he was mixed in the carriage procession out of the city, and he had confessed, and his doorman appeared as a spy of the White Turban Army, so wouldn't he be the master who could not get rid of suspicion, maybe he really secretly colluded with the White Turban Army, if Lao Zhang grasped this matter and did not let go, it would be very easy to kill his labor industry, and Lao Ye was not afraid, but now Lao Zhang is in the military power, although there are not many troops.

"There is such a spy in your house, and you, Lord Bo, don't even know it, this is your dereliction of duty, don't recruit anyone in the house." Lao Zhang asked.

"Yes, yes, it's my dereliction of duty, and I will strictly investigate it when I go back." Lao Ye has lost his former spirit, and the fear in his heart is increasing day by day.

"You don't need to meddle in the affairs of the treacherous, you have your own defense battalion and the lieutenant to take care of it, you just need to appease your relatives and rich people, what I promised them will definitely be fulfilled, just let them settle down with 10,000 hearts, and wait quietly at home for the good news, don't go to the streets to make trouble." Lao Zhang admonished.

Lao Yanfei and Lao Ye hurriedly replied that they would not, they were very sensible, and they were willing to give everything for Donghai County, and what they said was high-sounding and righteous.

A few days ago, Lao Zhang personally visited him at Lao Yanfei's mansion and asked Lao Yanfei to raise money and grain in Donghai City.

Although Lao Zhang was very surprised when he received the money and grain, he didn't say anything, at that time, Lao Yanfei wrote a big book about the poverty situation in Donghai County, saying that the merchants were not doing well, only breaking even, and it was already the limit to be able to take out the money and grain.

As a result, a few days later, Lao Yanfei wanted to send his family out of Donghai City, but he was detained before he could leave the city gate. This is an obvious revenge, but Lao Zhang stands at the height of Donghai County's regulations, and Lao Yanfei has nothing to do, so he can only eat this dumb loss, obediently take out the money and food, and block Lao Zhang's lion's mouth, in order to release his family.

Lao Yanfei and Lao Ye parted ways from the Taishou Mansion, Lao Yanfei did not return home, but went to the mansion of Gangchong, the richest man in Donghai City, Gangchong controlled the grain trading of the entire Donghai County, as well as a foundry, a caravan with no less than twenty transport ships, and a horse fleet of hundreds of horses, other industries could not be carefully estimated, but it would definitely not be just that.

Lao Zhang's ability to provide a large number of spears was largely due to the fact that Gangchong's foundry worked overtime day and night to make them, and that order made Gangchong make a lot of money, and Lao Yanfei knew very well, even if the price of each spear was very low at that time.

Because the price is very low, Lao Zhang paid so simply, not only paid the deposit in advance, but also paid the balance in one breath when the delivery was delivered, which was very in line with his young master's courage and measurement, Lao Zhang thought it was a good deal, and he thought that Gang Chong wanted to convince him, the future Taishou Lord, to do so.

In fact, he didn't know that Gangchong only needed to pay some food to produce these spears, and the people who did things for him were all slaves bought by Gangchong everywhere, and they didn't need to pay for their work, they only needed to give food and clothing.

Lao Yanfei is going slower than usual, he needs to think carefully about how to convince those merchants, this time he can't do things sloppily, it is a matter of the safety of his family, walking on the street, Lao Yanfei thought about the problem all the way, and unconsciously came to the Gangchong Mansion.

The richest man's mansion is not all like other people who love to show off, magnificent, extremely luxurious, the door of the mansion that just rushed is not magnificent, even a little simple, a bit of an illusion that is not worthy of the name, this is exactly the place where the gang chong is clever, not to those vain things, only pay attention to the real, therefore, in the mansion he specially raised hundreds of samurai disciples, if you add the foundry and other industry guys, you can form an army.

The road from the Taishou Mansion to the Mansion of Gangchong can not be said to be not far, the legs and feet of Gangchong who walked straight are a little sore, since all the carriages were sent to escort the family out of the city, all were seized, and now the carriage is gone, and can only walk on foot.

Although there was no carriage escort, but the guard still opened the road in front, to the gate, he would knock on the door, not long after, the door was opened, showing a face that is not much older, at a glance saw that it was Lao Yanfei, quickly nodded his head, and said with a smile like a flower: "Uncle." ”

"Father-in-law is at home." It turned out that Lao Yanfei was still Gangchong's son-in-law, and he actually had this in-law relationship in it.

"I'm in the fifth lady's room, teasing the little master." The gatekeeper said briskly.

"And this leisure, my father-in-law is not worried." Lao Yanfei couldn't help but say.

Lao Yanfei did not go to the fifth aunt's room to see his father-in-law, but went to the big living room to wait, and after waiting for a long time, he just came to the living room, for this third powerful person in Donghai County, few people in Donghai County dared to slack off, even if Lao Yanfei was his son-in-law.

Gangchong walked in slowly and greeted Lao Yanfei who was sitting, "Yanfei, you're here." ”
