Speaking of this, Ge Lao is a little angry, they are sure that there are many young men in the navy, and they live overseas all the year round, and rarely see women, although most of these old and weak women and children are married, but Ge Lao still noticed that because of the appearance of these women and children, these soldiers under his command are full of energy, as if they are competing to please, it is really ...... It's so tight.

Could this be the calculation of Namuajiu?

Ge Lao thought secretly, but felt that his idea was ridiculous.

"You said these old ladies, I heard that all the victims of the levee disaster, they said that when Mu Ajiu bought them, it was given priority to them, the old and weak women and children bought, and afterwards Mu Ajiu thought about returning the deed of sale, but they were afraid that they would starve to death when they went back, so they refused to leave, Mu Ajiu was also to feed them, so they had to come up with a way to plant in greenhouses, and then this sweet potato was also because of the price of rice and grain rose a few days ago, in order to cope with the problem of insufficient food, she came up with it."

Hearing Yan Hongxin's words, Ge Lao suddenly realized why he always felt that there were a lot of old and weak women and children here, so it turned out that this was the case.

"Old man Ge! Old man Ge! So you're here. Mu Chonglan walked over, and his feet were like a wind, and he came directly to Ge Lao and Yan Hongxin.

Ge Lao and Yan Hongxin were both taken aback by Mu Chonglan's degree, and Ge Lao hurriedly put away the sweet potatoes.

"Mrs. Xiao is looking for old decay, what advice do you have?" Maybe it's because he just told Yan Hongxin about Mu Chonglan's deeds, and when he saw Mu Chonglan at first glance, Ge Lao actually had a feeling of weakness.

Mu Chonglan didn't notice his abnormality at all, and said with a big grin: "I don't have any advice, I just asked you to find a few people who can fight with me to guard the city gate." ”

"Guarding the gates?" Ge Lao and Yan Hongxin looked at each other, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"Xiao Xiaoxian ordered Mrs. Xiao to guard the city gate?"

Mu Chonglan nodded seriously: "That's right." ”

Xiao Xiaoxian ordered his little lady, but he loved him so much, why would he let her do such things?

Ge Lao and Yan Hongxin looked at each other again, and they both felt confused, but the confusion was confused, Ge Lao still ordered more than 20 soldiers, and asked Yan Hongxin to take the more than 20 soldiers and follow Mu Chonglan to guard the city gate.

Mu Chonglan took those soldiers and came to the city gate with great dignity, Yan Hongxin followed Mu Chonglan, seeing Mu Chonglan so excited, he was confused, because he couldn't understand what was there to be excited about.

"Listen to me, wait a minute, but whoever passes by here, ordinary merchants will receive one tael of silver, and big merchants with goods will be ten taels of silver for a cart, and if they are businessmen hiding their heads and tails, then they will be thirty taels of silver for a cart, and a cart of goods will be deducted, and if anyone refuses to give the silver obediently, they will be arrested directly and thrown into prison to eat prison food." As soon as Mu Chonglan arrived at the place, he said like this.

When Yan Hongxin heard Mu Chonglan's words, their eyes almost didn't pop out, they thought they were here to guard the city gate before they came, but at this time, listening to Mu Chonglan's meaning, they felt that they were here to collect "protection money"!

"Ahem, Mrs. Xiao, I'm afraid there's something wrong with that." When Yan Hongxin said this, he was still a little hot, although Ding Haijun has also received some "filial piety" over the years, but most of them are "filial piety" sent by some people, where will it be as strong as Mu Chonglan's "filial piety".

"Wrong?" Mu Chonglan hugged her arms and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"......" Yan Hong said confidently, it was completely inappropriate, and what kind of expression Mu Chonglan was, as if she didn't realize that there was something wrong with her approach.

"Ahem, I'm afraid it's insulting to Sven to do this." Yan Hongxin said euphemistically.

Mu Chonglan frowned: "Master said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, you are not at home, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, it was difficult for me to feed those women and children, now there are more than 3,000 of you who eat rice, and if you don't guard the city gate and ask for silver, how can you eat?" ”

Yan Hongxin's face was strange, although he didn't read much, he also knew the meaning of "villain" in "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", not children...... This Mu Ajiu seems to be a woman from an official family, or the daughter of a prefect who is a serious child, how can she be like this?

"But ......"

"Don't be, Xiao Xiantang has said that the big husband is not informal, and at the moment, except for robbery, there seems to be no more profitable business than guarding the city gate." Mu Chonglan said depressedly.

"......" Yan Hongxin thought secretly, aren't you just robbing, and you are talking so high-sounding!

"Actually, I have plans to buy a batch of horses, in a few days you will be annoyed by guarding the door, it's a big deal that let's pretend to be horse bandits and rob pirates, Xiao Xiantang said, there are not many in this Yanzhou, there are many fake pirates and sanctimonious hypocrites, let's rob the rich and help the poor, after all, we are so poor." When Mu Chonglan said that later, he began to be jubilant.

The corners of Yan Hongxin's mouth twitched, wanting to say that robbing the rich and helping the poor is not used in this way, but after thinking about it, if he can rob those fake pirates, it seems to be quite good.

"I don't know, what are Mrs. Xiao's plans?" Yan Hongxin asked tentatively, he was afraid that Mu Chonglan would be on a whim and had no plan at all.

As soon as Mu Chonglan saw Yan Hongxin so "on the road", he hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back: "Xiao Xiantang said that there is a navy behind the group of old things in the state capital, and it is not easy to provoke them for the time being, so let's guard this city gate, and see which county has the most oil and water to fight here, and we will go to rob which county." ”

Yan Hongxin: "......"

In other words, this person has no plan at all......

Yan Hongxin coughed, and when he wanted to say something, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his calf, and before he could figure out what was going on, he knelt down with weak legs, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Xiantang with a black face standing behind the two of them with his hands on his back, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Is it good that he was forced to hook his shoulders and back, this Xiao Xiaoxian order is unreasonable.

"How?" Xiao Xiantang walked over and asked Mu Chonglan.

Mu Chonglan grinned: "I haven't opened it yet." ”

After speaking, Mu Chonglan scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "When the grain I planted is harvested, I will have silver, and at that time, I will no longer have to occupy this city gate." ”

"I don't have to be short of this bit of silver, and you don't have to show up and guard here, let them guard it." When Xiao Xiantang said this, he glanced at Yan Hongxin who was pestle on the side, and there was a hint of complaint.

Mu Chonglan smiled stupidly: "Actually, I don't have much business now, and it's not a farming job, I'm not too tired, and it's okay to keep it, but it's you, I see that you haven't had a good rest for several days." ”
