Chapter 10: Salt Transport
The three of them glanced at each other, did not dare to slack off, and came to Su Poman tremblingly, looking at the ground with their eyes, and did not dare to look directly into Su Poman's eyes.
"What kind of masters do you Haihe Gang have?" Su Poman asked in a lazy tone.
The tall and thin man hurriedly said loudly: "Lord Hui, our blue-clothed disciples are only one level higher than the red-clothed disciples on the periphery, and most of their strength is the last nine-rank martial artist, above is the deacon of Tsing Yi, and the strength is the eight-rank martial artist, basically every rudder will have a deacon in Tsing Yi; Further up are five purple-clothed elders, whose strength is a seventh-rank martial artist, sitting in various counties where the Haihe Gang is entrenched, and the highest strength is the leader of our Haihe Gang, who is a sixth-rank martial artist! ”
When he mentioned his helper, the thin and tall man's eyes couldn't help but show admiration.
Su Poman nodded, now he doesn't know much about the strength of martial artists, but judging from these three nine-rank martial artists, although their strength is better than that of ordinary people, it is still much worse than him.
If you speculate like this, the probability that the gang leader who is a six-rank martial artist can defeat him is not very high.
In this way, his plan can be implemented.
"Can you introduce me, I am Su Poman, I have admired your gang leader for a long time, I don't know if I want to join your gang?" Although Su Poman was asking, there was an unquestionable toughness in his tone.
The blue-clothed fat man's little eyes turned, his eyes showed essence, and he took a step forward and said: "I, Sun Wei, am willing to introduce seniors, if a master like you wants to join our Haihe Gang, our gang leader will definitely welcome it very much, at least give the purple-clothed elder treatment!" ”
The tall and thin man on the side looked nervous when he heard this, but he didn't expect this credit to be snatched away by Sun Wei, so he hurriedly followed: "I, Changpeng, am also willing to introduce seniors!" ”
"Former ...... Seniors, I, Wu Santong, am also willing to introduce seniors, so it's better for the three of us to return to the helm and report this matter to the helper together! Wu Santong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suggested.
Su Poman nodded, his body moved, and as soon as he grabbed it, the money bag on Wu Santong's waist was caught in his hand.
"You just offended me, this is your atonement!"
Wu Santong covered his chest, his hanging heart finally landed, it doesn't matter if he loses some money, this shows that the senior in front of him will no longer punish himself for his previous recklessness, and he will not be in danger of his life, and he was relieved for a while, and hurriedly smiled and said: "It should be, it should be, this is the villain's apology!" The predecessors can accept it, and the villain also feels very honored! ”
"Hmmm......"
Su Poman bowed slightly, opened the money bag and looked at it, and found that there were forty or fifty silver crescent coins inside, the material was made of silver, which was more valuable than copper coins.
The coins circulating in Pu are this kind of crescent coins, shaped like a crescent moon, a gold crescent coin can be exchanged for 100 silver crescent coins, and a silver crescent coin can be exchanged for 100 copper crescent coins.
Ordinary people living in the county town, if there is no big income, the family's annual expenses are only more than ten silver coins, and if they live in the township, they will spend less. This short and stout man carried forty or fifty silver coins with him, which showed that the warrior was far superior to ordinary people in terms of making money.
"The three of you will go in first and wait, prepare the green salt to be escorted, and I will return to the helmsman of the Haihe Gang with you and the others later!" Su Poman said slowly after carrying the money bag into his arms.
"Yes, sir!"
The three respectfully obeyed the order and led the horses into the stockade.
Yao Dashan stood not far away, his face was full of complicated colors, and he suddenly felt that the Su brothers in front of him were a little unfamiliar.
Su Poman walked up to Yao Dashan and said with a smile: "Brother Yao, this is for you, when I go to the Haihe Gang to settle down, I will take the three of you to live in the county seat, and then your Huzi can also go to school in the school in the county seat, and he can learn some real skills, if he wants to learn martial arts, I can find him a martial arts teacher in the Haihe Gang." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the money bag in his arms into Yao Dashan's hand.
"Su ...... Brother Su, I can't ask for this! Yao Dashan hurriedly refused, his face was a little panicked, and his hand hurriedly pushed and blocked.
Su Poman grabbed Yao Dashan's shoulder, looked directly into his eyes and said seriously: "Brother Yao, you are kind to me, these crescent coins are insignificant things to me, with my strength, it is easy to get more money, besides, you also have to think about your Huzi, if you go to live in the county, Huzi can get in touch with the wider world, and the chance of getting ahead in the future will be greater, don't you always want to glorify your ancestors, listen to me, take it quickly, just take it for Huzi!" ”
It seemed that it was because of the mention of Huzi, Yao Dashan's dark face hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and accepted it with some shame, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Su, this is what I borrowed from you, and I will pay you back when I have the money in the future!" ”
"Haha, Brother Yao, what is the relationship between the two of us, you are so good to me, this is nothing, you don't have to go to work during this time, use this money to live first, wait for my news, I will settle down and pick you up!" Su Poman smiled and hooked Yao Dashan's shoulder, eliminating a lot of the raw points just now.
A trace of unnatural red tide appeared on Yao Dashan's dark face, although he was shocked by Su Poman's strength before, now that he has made friends with such a powerful martial artist, he will definitely be very prosperous in the future.
"Then thank you, Brother Su, Huzi's business, I have to worry about it more!"
"Don't be so polite, it's too outward, Huzi is my nephew, and it will definitely be arranged properly in the future!"
"Brother Su, are you a martial artist?"
"Sort of!"
……
After the two talked for a while, Yao Dashan went home, and Su Poman walked into the stockade under the fearful gaze of the two strong men in red.
Walking along the main road, Su Poman came to a huge martial arts arena.
At this time, there were one hundred and ten red-clothed disciples standing on the martial arts arena, and at the front were the three blue-clothed martial artists of Sun Wei.
"I've seen Master Su!"
"I've seen Lord Su~~~"
It seemed to be a rehearsal, and after the leader Changpeng shouted, the hundreds of red-clothed disciples behind him shouted in unison, which was quite imposing.
Su Poman waved his hand, and then walked in front of Sun Wei and the others, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Hui Yu Master Su, everything is ready, the green salt has been loaded, just waiting for you to set off together!" Chang Peng said respectfully.
Selling salt is a lucrative industry in Puguo, not only ordinary people need to eat salt, but those warriors also consume a lot of salt, and the Haihe Gang is in charge of the salt pits in the five nearby counties, using the profits from selling green salt to support the cultivation of the warriors in the gang. Each county has a rudder, under which several local salt farms are in charge, and at the beginning of each month, people are sent to collect the green salt from the salt works.
"Then let's go, it's still early, by the way, which county is your helm located, and how long do you need to walk?" Su Poman then asked.
Sun Wei stepped forward at this time and said respectfully: "The helm is in Qinglin County, and it will only take half a day to ride the ink scale horse to rush with all your might, but if you bring the ox cart that escorts Qingyan in the rear, it will be slow, and it will take about two to three days!" Master Su, we have prepared a banquet for them in the village, why don't you finish your meal before leaving? ”
Su Poman looked at the sun in the sky and felt that it would be noon if he delayed eating any longer, so he shook his head and said, "Let's go directly!" ”
"Yes!"
The three of them did not dare to object to Su Poman's intentions, and gave an order to the rear, and five ox carts loaded with green salt slowly drove out from the rear under the control of the coachman.
