Chapter 190: Deng Wei's Meaning
Outside the west gate of Biancheng County, in the face of Deng Wei's blame, Zhang Tie replied with a smile: "Oh, didn't I know that there was still Uncle Deng?" ”
"Do you know I have food here? You, you. ”
Deng Wei shook his head, and didn't say much on this topic, just say it once, and hold on to this topic, it will be a little offensive.
"This time I brought you thirty wagons of grain, each of which was loaded with thirty stones (Song: one stone and fifty-nine catties), a total of nine hundred stones."
"Nine hundred stones!"
Zhang Tie was taken aback at first, and then his face was overjoyed, he didn't expect Deng Wei to be able to transport so much grain this time.
Nine hundred stone of grain, plus systematic food, combined with air-dried meat and horse meat porridge, is enough for the border city county to survive this winter, as for the spring, you have to find another way.
"Uncle Deng, I don't know how much silver taels and one stone this grain is?"
Of course, the grain brought by others has to be settled, and others are not blown by strong winds, but are obtained through hard work.
There is a saying that the bigger the family business, the more rigorous it must be, the dripping water becomes a river, the dripping water wears through the stones, and the wealth is accumulated little by little, not by the wind.
Now, although there have been more than two years of armistice, the national strength of Yan has not recovered, and the big cities are better, and three hundred to four hundred copper coins can buy a stone of grain, but in some remote places, grain is ridiculously expensive, and one stone of grain can be sold for more than four hundred copper coins, usually five hundred copper coins a stone, and in the famine years (when the harvest is low), it is even higher.
With the current situation in Border City, because of the existence of grocery stores, the price of grain is not very high, but it still costs 400 copper coins a stone.
Faced with Zhang Tie's inquiry, Deng Wei didn't think about it, and waved his hand directly, "Needless to say, the money is all given to you this time, and I won't charge you a copper, so I can be regarded as contributing a little to the people of the border counties." ”
Deng Wei's approach really surprised Zhang Tie, four coins and one stone, nine hundred stones, that is three hundred and sixty amounts of silver, this money is a lot, with the Deng family's family business, it is also a lot of finance.
Although he knew that Deng Wei did this because he wanted to get closer to him, no matter what, the Deng family did him a great favor this time.
You know, if you have money, you may not be able to buy so much grain, and if you can have so much grain, you won't sell so much grain at once, and you usually pile it up, and when you have a special time, you can sit on the ground and start the price, these things are common, whether it is Yan or other countries, grain stores do this.
"Good! Uncle Deng is really raining in time! So much food is enough for the people to tide over this difficult time, and here I thank you for the people. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Tie bowed to Deng Wei, and his movements were so fast that Deng Wei didn't have time to stop them.
"Okay, okay, let's find a place to put this grain first, don't be hypocritical."
"Okay."
Zhang Tie also knew that Deng Wei came in person this time to trade abroad, and he didn't delay much, so he immediately took thirty carriages full of grain into the border city and county, and went to the warehouse.
At present, the place that can hold so much grain is only a warehouse in the border city and county.
The remaining carriages were left in place, and some of the guards had already begun to cook on the fire, and it seemed that they were in a hurry along the way, and none of the convoy had eaten lunch.
……
After putting all the 900 stone grain into the warehouse, Zhang Tie took Deng Wei to his own courtyard, and the carriage was naturally driven out of the city by the people of the Deng family and stayed with the others.
When he returned home, Zhang Tie's father, Zhang Sanmad, had been waiting at home for a long time, dressed in armor, and it seemed that he had also heard the news and had just arrived from the barracks.
Since the recruits began to take over the city defense, Zhang Tie's father Zhang Sanmad began to stay with his 100 recruits often, and he didn't go home until dark every day, because of this incident, Zhang Tie's father Zhang Sanmad was scolded by Zhang Tie's mother.
"Huh!"
The moment he saw Zhang Sanmad, Deng Wei let out a shocked voice.
Deng Wei was so surprised, not for anything else, it was because Zhang Sanmad actually wore a suit of armor.
You must know that a set of armor is worn and calculated, at least there are twenty or thirty catties, and Zhang Sanmad's armor is not an ordinary product at first glance, it is a good thing at a glance, the workmanship is fine, and it is still made of pure iron, not to mention that there are fifty or sixty catties.
In Deng Wei's memory, Zhang Sanmad is a person with crippled meridians, not to mention these fifty or sixty catties of armor, even if it is one or twenty catties of goods, Zhang Sanmad can't mention it for a long time, how not to surprise Deng Wei.
"Your meridians are not ......."
Zhang San was also stunned, only then did he realize that he was wearing a suit and came over, and secretly said badly, and he didn't know how to answer his question for a while.
But Zhang Tie on the side had already been prepared, and said directly: "My father's meridians, after years of recuperation, have now been completely restored. ”
Sooner or later, some things will be exposed, but now is not the time, and if you can hide it for a while, you can hide it for one more day.
"Hey, yes. I didn't think of it myself, haha, hahaha! ”
Zhang Sanmad touched his forehead and laughed, but no matter how he looked at it, he was very embarrassed.
"That's right."
Deng Wei nodded, and he didn't want to ask much, but obviously, he didn't believe much in Zhang Tie's explanation, from ancient times to the present, he had never heard of people whose meridians had been abolished, and there were still good ones.
"Then congratulations to my brother, hey, I think back then, the two of us ......."
Deng Wei and Zhang Sanmad sat on the chairs, sighing about the past, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time seemed to have endless topics.
Zhang Tie served them tea and water beside him, and sat on the side and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
Deng Wei and Zhang Sanmad have played since childhood, and their relationship is naturally there, but with the passage of time, this love has slowly faded.
However, human beings are strange creatures, and their deepest feelings are often when they are young and innocent.
At that time, the feelings and memories are the most nostalgic, and only at that time is friendship the most innocent and unforgettable.
Just like people nowadays, junior high school and high school, you have made friends, and no matter how many years have passed, you will still miss the time you played together.
Of course, it's not that other time periods don't make people nostalgic and have no friends, but in comparison, in other time periods, there is no time when people are young and simple.
After all, at that time, everyone was very simple, without too many constraints, and was not affected by the outside world.
When the two chatted, it was as if they had forgotten the time, laughing and laughing about the unbearable past.
ps: Ahem, everyone, the knife is cheeky again to ask for a monthly pass, although I know that I have been recently, ahem. However, today, it is a double monthly pass, and I hope you will vote for some dog food.
Wang, Wang! Woof!
