"Needless to say, General Ben has already decided, each group will sell at this price, the price of all goods will be doubled, it doesn't matter if you sell less, but the price can't be less, and if you can't sell out, you will pull it back."

Yang Xin made the final decision, and everyone did not dare to object, so they had to agree.

"Daniel Zhang and the rest of the soldiers stayed, and the rest formed fifteen caravans, each team of ten people, let's go now!"

Yang Xin was already a little uneasy in his heart, in the troubled times, the most valuable thing is always force, without force, no matter how much silver he earns, he is waiting for others to rob it, not to mention that from yesterday's sales, he and Daniel Zhang are not too good at being a seller, rather than this, it is better to divide labor and cooperate, and leave the guards to practice in the camp.

Daniel Zhang and the other guards saw that everyone had gone out to sell goods, and asked, "General, I don't know what you left us in the barracks for?" ”

In the past two days, the normal drills of the guards have been disrupted, there is no drill at all, and they themselves have forgotten that they are still soldiers.

"Hehe, I see that you have eaten very well in the past two days, every day white flour cakes, gnawing chicken legs, your body has become a lot stronger, it's time to increase the intensity of the exercise, first give General Ben a ten-mile run!"

Yang Xin said calmly.

"Huh? No way? Why don't you ask us to sell something? ”

The guards suddenly had a bitter face.

Yang Xin didn't give them a chance to refute, and said loudly: "All of them, stand up...... Turn right...... Jogging...... Walk! ”

Yang Xin personally took the lead and ran at the front of the team, he was tall, he was an athlete at school, running a five-kilometer run, it was easy, like playing.

Eleven people lined up in a neat queue and ran fast on the long street, attracting pedestrians to avoid one after another, but in fact, there were not too many pedestrians, sparsely pulling, and kept looking at this group of teenagers and pointing.

……

Today, all the caravans did not return in advance, they all returned to the camp at about the same time, and they all returned to the camp at about the same time, and they all had more or less some goods left, even the group of Tian Laobo, who could sell the most.

The princess had already sent for supper to be prepared, and was in the courtyard, and every time a team returned, they would report to the princess, and hand over the money and the rest of the goods.

When the last team had finished paying the bill, the princess breathed a sigh of relief.

"How? What's going on today? ”

Yang Xin asked, helping on the side.

"Less than half of the goods have not been sold, but because of the price increase, the silver recovered is slightly more than yesterday, a little more than yesterday, a little more than a thousand taels."

The princess was very excited, which meant that although the goods were sold less, she made more money.

Yang Xin silently calculated, in this way, he had more than 200 taels more than he originally expected, and he had more than 1,400 taels of cash in his hand, which was more than enough to pay for tonight's robbery.

……

At night, there was a robbery incident in Longcheng Lane, where the third small flag was located, the house of the grain merchant boss Gao was robbed, and the two hundred stone grain hidden in the cellar was robbed by thieves, and the cellar was set on fire.

The next day, two officials came to the scene of the incident, and the shopkeeper Gao and his family cried.

"Two adults, you have to be the master of the little one! Be sure to catch the robbers! ”

The shopkeeper cried loudly, tears flying.

The two officials looked at it casually, and one said, "Hey...... Poor thing, there were eight robberies in the jurisdiction yesterday, and there was another one early this morning, and we couldn't keep it busy! ”

He knew in his heart that it must have been done by the recruits of the Beida Battalion, they didn't dare to care at all, the capital government Yin surrendered to the Dashun army when the city was broken, and most of the servants under his command ran away, and they were already short of manpower, they received similar robberies that is, they came to take a look, went back to report, prepared the case, there was no follow-up, and they didn't dare to investigate the case at all, because it must have been done by the Dashun army, and others couldn't do it.

These recruits of the Beida Battalion generally don't dare to kill people when they rob, they are all sneaky and rob everything, and now there are veterans patrolling during the day, and they have changed to robbing at night.

Generally, it's not too much trouble, Li Yan doesn't care, he can't manage it, there are more than 500 veterans in the east gate, and there are only more than 2,000 veterans of the Li family army in the entire capital, not to mention that Liu Zongmin hasn't left yet, robbing everywhere near the palace from time to time, Li Yan's energy is focused on comparing the law with Liu Zongmin, thinking about the law every day to urge Liu Zongmin to carry out the will of the king and leave quickly, but he just doesn't move under various excuses, Li Yan is already anxious these days.

What's more, he also has a bigger hidden danger, now there are signs of food shortage in the capital, all grain stores are not open, and he can't guarantee the grain and grass of 50,000 recruits now, that is, when he was just recruited, each person sent more than ten catties of grains, and now it has been more than ten days, King Chuang is according to a bucket of grain per person per month, leaving three months of grain and grass for his recruits, but such a small amount of food, basically to ensure that these soldiers do not starve to death, can not train them at all, because a drill will consume a lot of physical strength, That's why he had to every ten days.

In short, now that he has a lot of big things, he can't afford to take care of the small fights that occur from time to time among the recruits, for fear that if he is too strict, these soldiers who are short of food will mutiny.

Ordinary people don't know these things, and when they returned to the shopkeeper's house, listening to the words of the servant, the shopkeeper Gao pretended to cry louder, and said: "How is this good, isn't this trying to force my Gao family to death?" ”

Another official scolded: "You deserve it, who told you not to sell your grain, this time it was robbed by thieves, and in the end it was empty!" ”

The two didn't care about the Gao family's crying, and left directly.

……

Since that day, Yang Xin and the guards have not participated in the sale of grain, but buried themselves in the drills of the guards, and began to strengthen the training in accordance with the way of military training in the university, so as to enhance the physique of these guards.

Now Yang Xin has two meetings a day, when he goes out to sell goods in the morning, he has a meeting, and when he comes back in the evening, he will have a meeting to summarize after calculating the accounts and having a meal.

"Brother Yang, we sold more than 1,500 taels of silver today, 500 taels more than yesterday, at this rate, the grain in our hands will be sold out in four days!"

The princess flipped through the ledger and said worriedly.

Although everyone was tired for a day, they all cheered when they heard that they had made so much money, and these poor ghosts saw so much silver for the first time, thousands of taels, how much did it cost?

Uncle Tian said: "General, then we have to quickly find a way to get some food." ”

Yang Xin is also at a loss, and now at this time, the grain is in the hands of the four major grain merchants, where can he get it? It is estimated that the four major grain merchants are not so easy to provoke, even if they rob, they may not be able to rob others.

So I had to say: "This can't be done, the food is consumed too quickly, tomorrow you will double the price of grain and sell it for 400 wen a catty!" ”

"Four hundred?"

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this.

The usual price of grain is about 50 Wen, but now it has risen directly to 400 Wen, which is an eightfold increase!

"At this price, however, you have to sell 1,500 taels of silver to General Ben tomorrow!"

Yang Xin's words could not be questioned, and everyone agreed one after another.
