Chapter 2 The world is bustling
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, it seems that this ancient saying is so practical even if it is put in the other world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and as a modern person, Zhang Xiao understands the truth of "people die for money, birds die for food", taking advantage of the noisy time of the crowd, Zhang Xiao waved his hand to call the original young man: "What's your name?"
"If you go back to my lord, my name is Alonso and I live in the north of the village. "In this cold day, the young people are still ****, in fact, among the more than 50 young people present, there are not a few ****.
First, the village is located in a barren place, and there are many poor people among the villagers; second, the village is already a strong people, but everyone has not been very united, which is why they are often bullied by the next village.
"Alonso, does anyone in our village have mules or donkeys?" asked Zhang Xiao.
"Yes, sir, they have them in the north and west of the village. ”
"How many are there, and how many?"
Alonso bowed his head slightly and thought for a moment before replying, "There are only seven donkeys, do you want this, my lord?"
"Take ten men and bring me all seven donkeys, and if anyone refuses to get drunk, talk to them well, and say that I will call them together, and if not, tell them that I will buy their donkeys, and three copper coins for each donkey. Zhang Xiao pulled Alonso over and instructed, Zhang Xiao knew very well that most of the more than 50 young men who came today were from the east of the village, and only a dozen were from the more enthusiastic people in the village.
The rest of the village south is close to the woods, there are few people living in it, more are hunters, there are a lot of people in the north of the village this time, and none of them are in the west of the village, the people in the west of the village are relatively wealthy, and the people in the west of the village have always looked down on other families in the village, and most of the people who have donkeys are also from the west of the village, which is also the reason why Zhang Xiao asked Alonso to take ten people over, a group of people to do things is always more reliable than one person.
Soon Alonso called ten familiar strong men to run to the west of the village, at this time Zhang Xiao already had preliminary plans and ideas in his heart, looking at the crowd that had quieted down in the field, Zhang Xiao felt that something should be done.
"Usually there are people who often ride donkeys, stand up!" As soon as Zhang Xiao's words fell, eight people stood out from the crowd, Zhang Xiao picked it up, and let one of the thin ones return to the crowd, and the rest arranged to stand aside.
"Thirty to forty years old, stand up!" At first, Zhang Xiao's order worked, but this second order made the villagers a little confused, and the chatter began.
"Village chief, what are you doing here, shouldn't we have a fight with the grandchildren next door now!
"That's right, village chief, give the order quickly, we'll wait for that copper coin!"
"Yes, yes, village chief, don't talk nonsense!"
.。。 .
"Quiet!" Zhang Xiao shouted loudly: "Are you the village chief or am I the village chief?!"
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the crowd was quiet for a while, but soon began to discuss Suosuo, Zhang Xiao was very helpless, he didn't want to kill chickens and monkeys or the big stick and red date policy, but his prestige and strength were not worthy of these means, what Zhang Xiao has to do now is to establish his prestige and status, and today's weapon fight is an excellent opportunity.
"Thirty to forty-year-olds stand up! Otherwise, there will be no money to get!" At the mention of money, this group of people was happy, and soon 23 villagers stood up, they did not want to lose this good opportunity to make money in vain.
Zhang Xiao looked at the crowd, and the number of people was very clear, 23 villagers who had just stood up, 11 went out to lead donkeys, 7 stood on the side, and 15 people remained, all of whom were young and middle-aged men.
Zhang Xiao estimated that he touched it and shouted to the 23 people: "Hurry up and find a long stick, you must be between two arms and four arms long! Go quickly! Otherwise, I won't take you with me when I come back!"
As soon as they heard that they might be left behind, these 23 people immediately scattered around in a noisy to look for sticks, seeing that this group of people did not have the slightest discipline, Zhang Xiao shook his head, why are the peasant soldiers so poor? First, they have no knowledge, and second, they have no discipline.
But now he didn't have much time to rectify this, and Zhang Xiao instructed the remaining 15 people: "You go around and find some guys to take advantage of, but be careful not to take large items, and everyone takes a cloth bag, and the cloth bag is filled with some egg-sized stones, go quickly!"
After dismissing most of the people, Zhang Xiao said to the remaining seven villagers who could ride donkeys: "Go and bring your shovel, you just need to take the shovel." ”
Although these villagers were confused by Zhang Xiao, they still scattered to do their own tasks according to their words, looking at the crowd that had dispersed, Zhang Xiao's heart was actually not easy, there were hundreds of households in a village, it was really annoying, all the people were soldiers, three or four hundred people, and there were only 57 people on their side, so it was not easy to fight.
Just when Zhang Xiao was thinking nonsense, Alonso came back with ten villagers and seven donkeys, but it could be seen that a few people were disheveled, and there was obviously a dispute, but Alonso still brought all seven donkeys, which made Zhang Xiao feel that he had underestimated this kid's ability to do things.
"Alonso, you've done a good job, you can go out with these ten brothers to find a manhole cover and pot lid or something like that, it's not too big, you can block a piece of your body, and if you find a short stick for one person, you can't find it. Although Zhang Xiao had the heart to praise Alonso, the time was urgent, so he could only still command.
Looking at these seven donkeys, Zhang Xiao looked at them carefully, don't expect the donkeys to have any saddles or horseshoes like horses, these seven donkeys usually carry baskets, pull mills and the like, and don't need to run at all.
But now Zhang Xiao can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and soon the crowd will gather together again, looking at all kinds of guys in the crowd, although they are uneven, but they have all met Zhang Xiao's requirements, Zhang Xiao also feels that there is no need to pay too much attention to these for the time being, so he will ignore them.
"Okay, now that everyone is together, let's copy the guy and leave! But let's say it in advance! If someone doesn't listen to my orders later, then don't even think about getting any of this money, you know!"
Walking on the road, Zhang Xiao looked at the sparse crowd behind him, as well as the seven people holding the donkey around him, Zhang Xiao was a little bottomless about today's fight.
After walking for less than half an hour, Zhang Xiao saw the outline of the village next door, and Zhang Xiao waved his hand to stop the villagers: "Everyone rest in place for a while!
Hearing that it was time to rest, everyone sat on the ground without any scruples, and continued to walk for more than twenty minutes, they also felt tired, and Zhang Xiao called Alonso while everyone was resting, and the two of them each rode a donkey and left the crowd.
"Alonso, do you know this village?" asked Zhang Xiao as he walked down the road to Alonso.
"Sir, I came here last month to exchange goods, so I know a little bit about this village. ”
"Oh? ”
"If you go back to the old man, the name of this village is called Yi Village, because it is located at the throat of traffic, so it has always been relatively prosperous, and people often pass by. ”
"Located at the throat of traffic, that means that the roads in their village are very good?" Zhang Xiao asked rhetorically, you must know that most of the roads in the village are small alleys or just trails, and this kind of village located at the throat of traffic is generally said to be built in the village to facilitate the flow of people.
"Yes, sir, there is a main road in the village that runs directly through the village, and there are many side roads in the main road. Alonso replied honestly.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiao had an idea, and asked Alonso to come over and whisper... .
