Chapter 136: Money
The head of the Kou Kingdom really completed the deal with the "Spider Man". And he was not the only one who made a transaction, in the entire Shaxian County, almost all the tun chiefs in the tun area made a transaction. The "Spider Man" himself did not show up at the trading site, and it was the former secretary of the Shaxian County Yali who came to talk to them.
When the clerk appeared, all the chiefs who had come to the negotiations were at ease at the same time. Everyone is the end of the world, since the entire Shaxian County is like this, they can't help it, after all, this "spider hero" has hands and eyes all over the sky, and even the people in the county government can make it move, right?
This effect was something Xu Wenshan did not expect. However, the result is good, this clerk seems to have become a well-known straw that crushed the last psychological defense line of the commanders, and everyone simply paid the money. However, the clerk pointed out that Xu Wenshan also prepared a sum of money for them called "anti-pressure fee".
"The hero has a saying, you are all loyal ministers of the court, and you all want to protect the country and the people, but people are not strong enough to deal with the situation, and there is pressure from top to bottom, so I have prepared a pressure resistance fee for you to comfort your hard work. By the way, this money is available every month, as long as you can ensure that you don't harass the hero. ”
Chief, you look at me, I look at you, thinking to myself, isn't this pressure all brought to us by you? No one knows which medicine this hero's gourd sells.
Yitun said: "Your hero is a little ridiculous, we paid him money to buy peace in the front, and he returned the money to us later, isn't it the same?" ”
The clerk showed a slightly surprised expression: "Are you the 'peace money' that you paid for yourself?" …… Well, nothing. ”
The clerk said so softly, as if pouring a bucket of milk on the head of the chief: yes, why should I advance the money myself?
……
After the clerk returned to Xu Wenshan's station, he exhaled a breath and seemed to have unloaded his burden.
"How?" In the shadows deep in the room, Xu Wenshan's voice came.
"Good." Liang Dong replied, "According to what you said, I gave them 'ingredients', and they all happily ate them." ”
Xu Wenshan appeared from the shadows with a smile on his face: "Now that we have a firm foothold in Shaxian, go back and write the account book, these are all the handles of these tun chiefs." ”
Liang Dong said: "I just don't understand a lot of things......
Xu Wenshan seemed to be in a good mood today, willing to answer his question, and said, "What do you not understand?" ”
"Why did you spend a lot of money after you worked so hard to rob it?" Liang Dong keenly pointed out, "You don't come here for the money. ”
"Uh-huh." Xu Wenshan was very agitated and noncommittal.
"You buy slaves so that the slaves can make money for themselves, but the money you spend for these slaves has far exceeded the amount of money they can earn for you, why?"
Xu Wenshan said: "Because for me, these slaves can be more valuable in my hands than in the hands of others." ”
Liang Dong thought about it, but didn't figure out what else these slaves could do, so he skipped this link and said, "With your strength, you can get many slaves in other ways." You can now take all the captives, the peasants, to your place as slaves, and they will not be able to resist. ”
"That's different." Xu Wenshan said, "What I need is a group of pure, clean slaves, and they don't need me to do anything, they already have only one rotten life left." Instead of this bunch of normal people, I turn them into slaves, it's different. ”
Liang Dong thought about it, but didn't feel anything different, but felt that it was because Xu Wenshan was soft-hearted.
Xu Wenshan didn't explain to him either. It is feasible to catch slaves back like a strong man, but first, there are not many people who can be caught, and secondly, these slaves who are captured back already have families and businesses, and their hometown is still in Cai Guo, and they think about escaping back every day, so what is the use of such slaves?
What he needs is a group of "pure" slaves whose hearts are like ashes, and who have nothing but a rotten life.
Xu Wenshan said to Liang Dong: "After the next task, you can go back and continue to be your secretary." ”
Liang Dong said miserably: "Everyone already knows that I have done something with you, if the things you committed are discovered by the imperial court in the future, I am sentenced to be a collaborator is light, how can I go back to be an official?" ”
"It seems that you still don't understand the essence of being an official," Xu Wenshan said, "It is precisely because everyone knows that you have done something to me that your official can become bigger and bigger." ”
……
When the morning light was faint, the eastern sky had just brightened, and there were only a dozen stars left in the sky, the soldiers of Luhegou set out from Wuli Village and quietly marched in the southeast direction.
Xu Wenshan told them that there was another task. And let them bring the rest of the Molotov cocktails.
In the past few days, they have almost robbed all the military stations around Shaxian, before they were only wearing single clothes and straw sandals, but now they are all wearing leather helmets and leather armor, shiny military boots under their feet, some people still have iron armor, and several pairs of pants are changed.
However, since they negotiated with the tun chiefs here, Xu Wenshan rarely took them out to "do tasks". It's more about taking them to do activities with local villagers.
Because Xu Wenshan is generous, their soldiers are also of high quality, now the local villagers see the Luhegou team, than see their relatives are happier, when the Luhegou team enters the village, they will hand over tea and water, greet them with a smile, and even many young people in the village also claim to join the "Spider Man" command, chivalrous and righteous, do men's things.
For these new soldiers, Xu Wenshan scattered them into the existing two squads, with an average of two veterans leading one recruit, and now, his troops have expanded to forty or fifty people.
The group set out in the early morning light and did not reach their destination until noon. It is already far away from Shaxian County, and it is closer to Guixian County downstream of Shaxian County.
After the Shajiang River flows through Shaxian, it first flows southward, and then abruptly turns northward. After crossing the river from the south bank of the Shajiang River to the north, if you don't take Shaxian, this road is the closest road.
However, this area is hilly and wooded. Fortunately, the people in Luhegou grew up in the mountains, but they didn't feel that the road was not difficult to walk. After lighting a fire and cooking at noon, Xu Wenshan instructed the soldiers to completely extinguish the fire, and then let them sit in a circle and announce their next course of action to them.
After the soldiers all sat down, Xu Wenshan whispered to them: "The target this time is different from the past, our enemy will not be the garrison army, but the front-line troops of Cai Guo. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
"Moreover, the number of enemies will far exceed ours, so everyone must do a good job in this battle...... Get ready. Xu Wenshan wanted to say that he was ready to "sacrifice", but he didn't know what to do, so he didn't say it.
Li Dazhuang couldn't help but ask out loud: "Chief, the previous battles were all about 'attacking the enemy's weak links' as you said, but why did you pick the opponent's regular army to fight this time?" ”
Xu Wenshan said solemnly: "Because this army is transporting the salaries of the front-line troops of Cai State. ”10
