Chapter 40 It is populated with people outside the mountain
Guo Xin's mind was in a mess, and before he could figure out what it meant, Xu Wenshan shouted at the little guy to come and go home with Guo Xin and go to his house to carry food.
Guo Xin returned home in a daze, measured the surplus grain in a daze, and watched the Xu family empty the food at home in a daze. When I was sitting at home, I hadn't figured out what contract I had signed with Xu Wenshan.
He called his smartest fourth son over and asked, "Four dogs, did I make or lose money in this business today?" ”
After the fourth son did the math, he said: "In terms of money and goods, my family's field produced 5 buckets of grain per mu last year, if it is like this every year, the interest that his family wants is 2 yuan, that is to say, our family borrowed 20 yuan, but only need to repay 2 yuan of interest, and I have earned a lot." At the same time, he bought my family's surplus grain at a price higher than the market price, and my family still made money. ”
The Guo family had 56 buckets of surplus grain, which was sold to the Xu family at 42 wen per bucket, and the money from the sale was naturally written by Xu Wenshan on the "shopping book", and now the Guo family has 22 yuan and 352 wen money in the "shopping book".
Guo Xin thought about it, it was true, and said: "But my family's surplus food is gone, and I haven't seen the money?" ”
The fourth son said: "But in the next five years of my family, the Xu family will have to take care of the food and meat that my family eats, isn't it good?" ”
Guo Xin was relieved, and when he went to bed at night, he suddenly thought: "The son of the Xu family bought my family's grain according to 42 Wen per bucket, and my family can buy his family's grain according to 40 Wen per bucket, so I made a net profit of 112 Wen, and at the same time, the Xu family lent me 20 yuan, 20 yuan is enough to buy ten acres of land, and ten acres of land can produce 50 buckets of grain per year, that is, 2 yuan, and their family only needs a little interest, which means that my family still earns a lot of money...... But where does the money go? ”
Thinking about it, he entered the realm of mystery.
……
After settling the Guo family, the dead soldiers of the Xu family all looked at Xu Wenshan with reverent eyes. When Xu Wenshan saw them off, some of the dead soldiers bowed deeply to Xu Wenshan.
These people are Xu Changshui's dead soldiers, not Xu Wenshan's dead soldiers, if Xu Changshui dies one day, they will also wipe their necks and commit suicide. However, this does not prevent them from having respect for the next generation of family heads.
For the time being, the Guo family has stabilized the Guo family with the "shopping book" strategy, which can ensure that the Guo family will not make waves again in the short term. When the Guo family wakes up, they will definitely regret being a white wolf by the Xu family's empty gloves, and they will definitely make trouble again, but they should have come back by then.
It's time to go.
This time, Xu Wenshan's target was the county government.
He learned from the Taoist priest that his location was a small remote ravine in the country of Chen. And the place where Chen Guo is really rich is in the Zifu Plain, where there is a basin in the mountains, fertile fields, fertile soil, rivers and rivers, it is a god-sent anointed soil.
It is said that the rice is fragrant, the fish is fatty, and I have heard that there is a food called "noodles" that has been popular recently.
It is said that it is a vast and densely populated area, with a population of one million in any state capital and everything in the city.
It is said that there are many merchants and vendors, and everything is sold in the market.
It is said that there were also merchants from the Western Regions, who brought strange food and new fruits and melons.
In the early morning, Xu Wenshan took Lu Ze, and a cart of leather goods and dried meat, and drove the ox cart to the mountain.
This time I went outside, not only to sell the goods in my hand, but also to bring back new things and technologies in this world, at least to make Luhegou's technical level on par with the whole world.
Except for the two little guys, Xu Wenshan did not tell anyone else about his departure from the mountain. He only took Lu Ze with him, and the two drove the ox cart into the mountain before dawn.
There is only one path for Luhe to communicate with the county government, and the two ...... No, a man and a demon tossed and turned along this path in the mountains, eating dry food with dried meat, drinking mountain stream water when thirsty, and setting up a bonfire when he was tired, and meditating and cultivating on the spot.
Once you cultivate, the surroundings will be full of demonic energy, and the fierce beasts and poisonous insects on the mountain have a keen sense of smell, and they will not come to harass them if they know that these two people are not good. Occasionally, there are unsightly ones, and in the end, it just becomes a meal for the two.
In order to seize the time to cultivate, Xu Wenshan deliberately compressed his sleep time. Because once you get out of the mountain and arrive at the county government, you must restrain your breath and not show a trace of demonic energy. Therefore, he must step up his efforts to improve himself before entering the county government.
The two of them traveled for about seven or eight days, and when they were pushing the ox cart on the road slowly, Xu Wenshan suddenly saw an old man on the road ahead.
The old man had a kind face, a gourd pinned to his waist, and a cane in his hand, and when he saw Xu Wenshan and Lu Ze, he bowed and said, "Those two descendants, do you have water?" ”
Xu Wenshan said: "Yes." You want? ”
The old man smiled and said, "Can you give me a drink?" I haven't had water in days. ”
Xu Wenshan gave the old man some water, and the old man was very grateful, talked with the two for a while, happily inquired about where the two came from, and asked where they went.
The old man looked very harmless, and he didn't show any danger, so Xu Wenshan relaxed his guard a little. However, he simply said that he was a person from the mountains and went to the county government to meet some small relatives.
When the old man left, he patted the ox cart and asked, "What's in here?" ”
Xu Wenshan's leather goods were packed in an ox cart, covered with a rag and tied tightly with hemp rope around it.
Xu Wenshan said: "It's just some hay and dry food." ”
The old man nodded, and left after a while.
This old man didn't show anything special, Xu Wenshan quickly left him behind, and walked for a while, suddenly his ears heard the sound of a bowstring, and he turned over, and when he looked again, a feather arrow was nailed to the position where he was standing just now.
When I looked up, I saw seven or eight men in short clothes popping up on the mountain, holding bows and swords and short swords in their hands.
Xu Wenshan understood when he came to understand that he had met a bandit, and the old man was also a gang, and he came to step on the plate just now.
"Boy, you are very vigilant, but unfortunately you met the old man and me. You and I can't tell you the rut marks, can't you guess what you're dragging in the car? You've got leather in your car, right? It just so happened that my brothers were going to change their clothes. The old man shouted at Xu Wenshan.
The other leader looked unruly and said, "Boy, hand over your goods, I ask you to leave, if you don't pay, hand over your life here!" ”
Xu Wenshan's face was expressionless, and he took out the bow he usually used from under the ox cart.
