As for the wooden chips in the wooden box, I have long heard that Xu Jiajun does not use five baht money, but only uses chips to trade.

Because it is difficult to settle in person with large amounts of money, a special commodity exchange has also been set up, and businessmen can complete transactions with only a piece of paper.

Xujia salt and Xujia sugar are very famous, white as snow fine frosting, one stone only 1,400 Xujia chips, converted into a pound of less than 12 Xujia chips.

And this pound of sugar can be exchanged for five catties of good grain in Hejian County, which is enough for a family of three to boil porridge for three days.

The wooden chips in the wooden box are divided, and each officer and soldier has 300 sticks, which can buy 25 catties of Xujia sugar, which is 125 catties when converted into grain!

They only have less than 60 catties of grain a month, and a family of four or five people will not be able to eat for a month, and they will have to be accompanied by wild vegetables and other coarse grains to survive.

This meager monthly salary, if you don't rely on this idea in your hand to earn some extra money, how can you afford to support the whole family?

Xu Yue said: "You have never attended a literacy class, and your education level is not enough, so you can only calculate the salary with the lowest workers, ten chips a day, but if you go to a literacy class in the future, and have a primary class graduation certificate, the salary can be doubled, and so on, the higher the education level, the higher the salary." ”

"Brother Zhao, you are literate, I will give you five more chips a day, because you can be literate and more useful to us."

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Zhao Jian was stunned, he didn't expect that the salary that they were already very satisfied with would be able to rise in the future, or double it!

The officers and men looked at each other, holding the rice in the bamboo tube, the small piece of meat they had been distributed, and the more than 100 chips, and their eyes burst with scorching brilliance.

In the future, whoever tells them that reading is useless, they will fight hard with whom!

Zhao Jian was also very excited in his heart, it turned out that the extra 150 chips he had just calculated were given to him extra.

In this way, he has 450 Xujia chips in January, and he can buy 37 catties of Xujia sugar, not counting extra rice and meat.

In front of the rich moon, Zhao Jian did not hesitate at all, put away the money, and immediately led the way in front.

Before setting off again, he personally checked the hemp rope tied to Wen Qing and others, and said while pulling:

"After the previous encounter, there are many officers and soldiers, which inevitably makes people suspicious, and the appearance of what should be done is still to be done."

After the inspection, he nodded at Xu Yue again, and when he saw her bow, he led the team towards Hejian County.

On the way, unlike the officers and soldiers who were holding the moon and were silly happy, Zhao Jian was not immersed in this joy, he thought of the level of workers mentioned by Xu Yue earlier, and the merger of the border army into the Xu family army that Xu Da said.

Since ancient times, soldiers' salaries are much higher than those of ordinary laborers, they are originally sergeants in the barracks, they have experience on the battlefield, if they can be a regular Xu family army, I am afraid that the welfare will be better than being a worker.

What's more, for Zhao Jian, he has a specialization in the art industry, he has the ability to kill the enemy, and by virtue of his military merits, he can be promoted faster.

Everyone knows that a big battle between Gongsun Jun and Xu Jiajun is coming, and Zhao Jian doesn't want to miss such a big opportunity to build military achievements!

Judging from the benefits of Xu Jialiang today, if he can make a great contribution this time, the benefits are definitely unexpected to him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jian decided to go out, planning to find a suitable time to mention to Xu Yue the two uncles who were officials.

......

There were more people on the road, officers and soldiers, officials, displaced people, and wealthy businessmen who had fled, one after another.

When encountering the officers and soldiers, Zhao Jian will come forward to solve the problem, generally the number of people on the other side is not as large as Zhao Jian's side, even if he vaguely guessed the identity of Xu Yue and the others who escorted him, he did not dare to grab the credit, but secretly envied.

If he encounters an unfamiliar official, Zhao Jian directly acts as a sergeant, using the name of his boss to suppress people, and generally passes smoothly without any entanglement.

It was the rich businessmen they met on the road that made Xu Yue and the others frown.

They all fled from the county town of Hejian, because the rebels in the city picked the rich to clean up, and they were afraid of endangering their lives, so they tried to escape with their families.

Although Xu Yue was not surprised that such a situation would happen, it was still not good to see that the rich businessman could escape from the city.

The irregulars revolt was like that, chaotic, chaotic, mixed, with everyone and unmanageable.

As soon as a part of the population gets out of control, there will be chaos in the city.

At this time, it has been three days since the last communication with Sun Ashan, and in the past three days, there must have been many accidents in Hejian County, and I don't know if Sun Ashan can control it.

Xu Yue was a little worried, and she wanted to hurry up to Hejian County to see what the situation was.

If someone makes a mess and A-Niang hasn't arrived yet, Hejian County is afraid that it will be lost.

The loss of Hejian County is a small matter, and if the internal problems that broke out because of Hejian County are not solved well, when A-Niang leads the troops south, I am afraid that the battle situation will change unpredictably.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue and the others had gloomy faces, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly directly into Hejian County.

But not yet, they still have to prepare food, grass and armaments, and only with full preparation can they have the confidence to change the current situation of confrontation between the two sides.

In any case, the county seat of Hejian County cannot be lost at the moment!

When the rich businessmen saw the officers and soldiers, they were eager to shrink themselves into the grass, and it was best if the officers and soldiers could not see themselves.

Otherwise, a round of filial piety is indispensable.

If it is a wealthy businessman with some faces, it is indispensable to stand up and give some money for drinks and inquire with the officers and soldiers about the current situation.

Zhao Jian and the others really wanted some money for drinks, but unfortunately now that they have entered the camp of the Xu family's army, they have to abide by the rules over there, Xu Yue said no, and they could only ask those rich merchants about the situation in the city, and let them go.

There is no need to give away any money, the rich businessmen were flattered, watching Zhao Jian and the others walk away, and standing in place and sighing, the sun came out in the west.

Xu Yue and others also knew from the mouths of the wealthy businessmen that the rebel army in Hejian County was now divided into two groups, one of which took the weapons snatched from the arsenal and singled out the rich merchants and gentry to "live for money".

This money, as little as tens of thousands of dollars, and most directly raided the house, and if they were disobedient, they would kill people.

The wealthy merchants and gentry want to go around everywhere, so they naturally know what the rules of the Xu family army over there in Youzhou are.

Xu Jiajun will not die if he receives the money, and if he does not give the money, he can also use his labor to make money to repay.

Originally, I heard that the leader of the rebel army was the Xu family, and the rich merchants and gentry still held hope, thinking that no matter what, they would not die.

Unexpectedly, this group of rebels began to loot on the third day after entering the city.

Originally, as long as money, they actually killed people later, and the merchants were so frightened that they spent a lot of money to buy off the rebels guarding the gate and fled with their families.

Now, the ordinary people in the city are also going to start paying for their lives, and everyone in the city is in danger, and those who have a way have escaped.
