Chapter 583: Eyeliner
The guys opened the warehouse and began to load grain bags onto the cart parked on the side of the street. The boss approached the officer's side and accosted, "Master Jun, why did you suddenly come to the city to buy food?" The officer said: "Miss Ruoxue's 250,000 soldiers and horses are here, and the reserves in the barracks are not enough, and the grain in stock has to be transported from the grain fields, so the general sent me to the city to buy grain..."
The boss asked in surprise: "Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses came?" ”
The officer nodded.
The boss touched his chin and thought: "No wonder many people today said that they saw a large group of soldiers and horses outside the city in the morning, and there were so many soldiers and horses?" Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry about it now... I heard that Jiangxia was broken by Cao's army before, and we were all very worried..."The officer sneered: "What is there to worry about... With 50,000 soldiers and horses of our Tiger Wing Legion, the Cao army doesn't want to land on the east coast..."
"Yes, yes, yes... But with these 250,000 soldiers and horses, it's safer, isn't it..."
The officer didn't say anything.
The boss asked curiously, "Who is Miss Ruoxue that the military master just said?" How can you lead so many armies? ”
The officer said: "This is all changed by the surrender of the army... Miss Ruoxue, it should be the general's room..."The boss suddenly realized.
After the loading of 1,000 loads of grain, the officer said goodbye to his boss and led the convoy to the barracks outside the city. The boss turned around and returned to the store and asked Xiao Er, "There are still more than 1,000 quintals in stock, right?" Xiao Er hurriedly said: "If you go back to the master, there are more than 1,700 loads." ”
The boss stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If they come two more times, we will be able to rest early this year..."Xiao Er said depressedly: "The master is happy, but those of us who are buddies are miserable..."The boss didn't understand for a while, "What did you say?" Xiao Er said: "The grain has been sold, and the master has made a lot of money, but there is nothing to do, and those of us who are buddies will have nothing to eat, so it will be bitter..." Anyway, since the business is good, you can't lose the big guys, and no one will reward you with a month's wages..."The guys present were very happy when they heard this, and they thanked the boss one after another.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman led a man in.
Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly pointed to the guest and reminded the boss: "The tourist has arrived." ”
The boss hurriedly turned around, saw the two guests coming in, hurriedly greeted him, bowed with a smile, and asked, "The guest officer buys rice?" ”
The middle-aged and lai-year-olds said: "Three hundred catties of good rice." ”
The boss hurriedly responded, turned his head and said to Xiao Er: "Take 300 catties of good rice immediately." Xiao Er answered and beckoned the other guys to go down.
The boss turned around and asked the middle-aged man: "Where does the guest officer live, we can send it to the house." The middle-aged man said, "I brought the carriage over, you just need to carry the carriage." The boss was eager and answered.
The middle-aged man asked curiously, "I saw many sergeants carrying rice from the boss just now, could it be that the boss still supplies food to the army?" The boss smiled, "How can it?" I'd like to, but the army is not open to us businessmen at all... They just came here to buy some food for emergencies..."
The middle-aged man showed surprise, "Could it be that the army is actually short of food?" ”
The boss said: "That's not it, it's just that 250,000 troops were suddenly transferred, and the food in the barracks is not enough, so they temporarily came to our place to buy food for emergencies..."
The middle-aged man showed a shocked expression, "Two hundred and fifty thousand troops came? …”
The boss nodded and glanced at the middle-aged man, "Yes... Why was the guest officer so shocked? ”
The middle-aged man realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly restrained his expression and explained: "I just, just felt very surprised, because I heard that the main forces of the general are in Yanzhou and Huainan, but I didn't expect that I could still mobilize 250,000 troops here..."
The grain was loaded into the car, and Xiao Er came in to inform the boss. The boss said to the middle-aged man: "The guest officer wants to check it?" The middle-aged man said absentmindedly: "Oh, no need...", then paid the money and left in a hurry.
The boss weighed the silver nugget in his hand, and suddenly said to Xiao Er next to him: "Look at the store for me, I want to go out." So saying, he walked out the door. Xiao Er hurriedly asked, "Where is the master going?" "Thorn Mansion." So saying, the man had already left the gate. Xiao Er heard that the boss was going to the Assassin Mansion and was very confused.
……
In the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Lang was gossiping with several big businessmen in Jingzhou, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhang Lang sat at the top, Dong Ying stood beside him with his sword as always, and the left and right heads sat Mrs. Cai of the Cai family and Ma Bochang, the eldest brother of the Ma family, respectively.
Wang Yi hurriedly walked in, and a big businessman who was talking saw this and quickly stopped talking.
Wang Yi clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "General, there is a boss outside who wants to see the general." ”
Zhang Lang asked, "What kind of boss is it?" ”
"He said he was the owner of Zhou's rice shop."
Mrs. Cai said in her sexy voice: "The scale of the Zhou family's rice shop is not small, and its ancestors have been running a rice shop business in Xiangyang for a hundred years. ”
Zhang Lang said to Wang Yi: "Bring him in." ”
Wang Yi answered, went down, and after a while, led the owner of the Zhou family's rice shop to the lobby. The boss was taken aback when he saw that the leaders of Jingzhou businessmen were gathered here, and then saw Zhang Lang sitting at the top, and his temperament of not being angry and powerful made him plop down and kneel, kowtow and said: "Villain, villain Zhou Bing to meet the general..."
Zhang Lang smiled: "Get up and speak." ”
Zhou Bing hurriedly thanked him, stood up, and stood with his hands bowed, with a hesitant look on his face. Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with Boss Zhou coming to see me?" ”
Zhou Bing hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The villain does have something, it's just that I'm just a little scared, afraid that if I say something wrong, I will be punished." ”
Zhang Lang said with a smile: "It's okay to say anything, as long as you don't break the law, no one will punish you." ”
Zhou Bing felt a lot more relieved, and hugged his fists and said: "The villain just met a guest who came to the store to sell grain, and the villain felt that this person, this person was a little inappropriate.........
Zhang Lang showed curiosity and waited for the following.
Zhou Bing continued: "That person, that person always uses the words of the villain, and the words are all about the situation of our army in the hall, but when he heard the news that our army has 250,000 troops coming, he was extremely shocked, that kind of shocked look, the villain, the villain feels that it is really not what ordinary people should be..."
