Chapter 36: Alliances

It was an extremely unquiet night, with crowds running and crying on the streets, and several fires soaring into the sky.

A group of about ten people, armed with torches and led by a gray-haired old man, hurried to the courtyard of the largest house on the street, where the First Little Banner was stationed.

The more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate suddenly became nervous.

"What people!"

One of the leading men shouted.

"Is it Brother Du Sandu in front? My own people, the old Tiantou of the third small flag, look carefully! Ha ha! ”

It wasn't until they got closer, and they could see the old man's kind smile by the light of the torches, and the soldiers guarding the door were immediately relieved.

"It turned out to be Lao Tiantou! Scared me, what's the matter with running here so late? ”

Du San was relieved, now, they are very familiar with the Third Little Banner, these people have already sold two batches of grain to them, and every day there are people from the Third Little Banner selling grain to the people on their streets.

"Good thing, big thing, I want to find you in charge, I don't know where he is now?"

Uncle Tian knew that this Du Baihu would never stay in the camp at this time, and he must have taken people out to rob him.

Du San smiled and said, "Oh? What's the good thing? Our big brother is in front! ”

Uncle Tian hurriedly said: "Well, take me to see him, our general has something important to look for him, but it is a great joy." ”

……

Du Datou was leading more than 60 soldiers under his command and rushed into a private house on the street.

"Big brother, I just found three taels of silver!"

A soldier walked up to Du Datou, he was sitting in the lobby at this time, there were five people kneeling on the ground, and an old man pleaded bitterly, saying: "Soldiers, let go of the little family, there is really no silver in the family!" ”

Du Datou glanced at it and said: "Lao Zhangtou, they are all neighbors, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to kill people, but you are too fucking dishonest, raising such a big family, just three taels of fucking silver, you tell Lao Tzu brothers to drink the northwest wind?" ”

The old man wailed: "Du Ye, this year the army is in chaos, now the grain has risen to four hundred wen a catty, and I can't buy it, only the third small flag of the old field brings people to sell every day, this two pieces of silver can't buy three catties of white noodles, you say, my family of five, where is there any silver, these three taels of silver Du Ye you took away, tomorrow our family will only go out to dig wild vegetables to survive." ”

A person next to him said ruthlessly: "Big brother, I think this old man is not honest, he must have hidden the silver, it seems that if he doesn't kill someone, he won't be honest!" ”

Du Datou was a little undecided, although he grabbed this street from time to time, but so far he had not killed anyone, otherwise the people on this street would have run out long ago.

At this moment, there was a laugh outside the door.

"Du Dangjia, it turns out that you are here."

Outside the door, Du San walked in with Uncle Tian.

Du Datou looked at Uncle Tian and smiled slightly, and said: "Old Tiantou, you are too hard in business, do you see that we are fighting the autumn wind, thinking that we have money in our hands, and can't help but come over to sell grain at night?" Tell you, you're going to be disappointed, you've been busy for a day, and the brothers only asked for more than 20 taels of silver, all of them are fucking like sending Huazi, no, this old man is such a big house, and the gate is big, so she found out three taels of silver, and she was really angry! ”

Uncle Tian laughed and said: "Du Dangjia, I came to give you money, what kind of thing is this twenty taels of broken silver, after taking the old man's work, Du Dangjia can earn at least four thousand taels!" ”

Uncle Tian said as he gestured with four fingers.

Boss Du was moved, stood up suddenly, and said, "Really? It's a big night, don't Tian Lao come to entertain the brothers? ”

At this time, even the title has changed, from Lao Tian Tou to Tian Lao.

The minions were also very excited, and they all got closer.

"Tian Lao, hurry up and listen to it?"

Someone can't wait to ask.

Uncle Tian said with a smile: "Du Dangjia, you also know that now the grain stores are not open, they are all in the food shortage, and the grain has been sold to 400 wen a catty, if the master has a batch of grain in his hand and only sells 200 wen, will it be robbed in an instant?" ”

"That's a must!"

Without waiting for Boss Du to speak, all the minions replied in unison.

Uncle Tian smiled and said: "Now our general is going to transfer a large amount of grain to the big boss Du for a hundred wen, and what about you, boss Du, you have to sell it for two hundred wen, so is it considered to be a gift to the big boss?" ”

Boss Du was moved, pondered for a moment, and said, "Such a good thing, why don't you sell it yourself, but you want to find us?" ”

Uncle Tian maintained his usual smile and said: "This batch of goods is very large, we have earned too much, it is inevitable that the head will be red, rather than cheap, it is better to be cheap than your own brother, our general said, this is called the alliance, ants bite the elephant to death, as long as we all wear a pair of pants, the Dashun army has no way to take our brothers, right?" ”

"Wonderful!"

Boss Du hurriedly stood up and personally greeted Uncle Tian to sit down, Uncle Tian sat down while unfolding his tongue like a spring, and said: "The so-called law does not blame the public, like today, everyone came out to rob, and the top did not dare to track it down, right?" ”

Boss Du nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason, I don't know how much food General Yang is going to give my brother and me?" ”

Uncle Tian compared three fingers again, "Three hundred stones!" ”

"My mother!"

Everyone exclaimed.

When have they seen so much silver, robbery is not so easy to fight, the city has been robbed by the Dashun army, the rest of the people naturally try to hide the silver, they don't dare to make things too big, dare not kill, at most it is threatening, intimidation and scolding, and there are even fewer things that can be grabbed, robbery is a technical job in this era, and it is not just a random killing person to rob other people's homes.

Boss Du calculated, the capital of one hundred wen and one catty, three hundred stones is enough to cost more than four thousand taels, so he said: "Tian Lao, so much grain, the capital alone will cost more than four thousand taels, brother, I am not as rich as your third little banner, and the cash in this hand is less than one hundred taels!" ”

"Big brother, I still have ten taels here!"

"I have it too, I have eight taels!"

All the minions cheered in unison, this profitable business, out of the money, the old nature wants to give himself a little more.

Uncle Tian said with a smile: "In charge, it doesn't matter if the capital is insufficient, you can get the silver after selling it and then pick up the goods, but our general said that it must be sold for two hundred wen a catty, which cannot be lower than this price, since everyone is an alliance, this price must be the same!" ”

Boss Du was immediately overjoyed, laughed, and said, "Okay, a word is a deal, brothers, let's go back and make up the money!" ”

A minion said, "Big brother, what about this old Zhang Tou family?" ”

"What to do? This kind of small business Lao Tzu is not interested in now, and helping General Yang sell grain must be much faster than grabbing it! ”

"That's it?"

"Let it go!"
