Chapter 102: Find officers and soldiers for quilts
The officers and soldiers snorted coldly, and stretched out their hands very impatiently, "This place is desolate, there are neither mines nor fields, everything has to rely on your self-reliance, and the imperial court has not taken down your dog's head, which is already a blessing, and you are still so ignorant." ”
After that, the officer and soldier also spat fiercely.
Although Zhang Xiu'e was dissatisfied, it was not good to clash with him face to face, after all, in this place, it was better to offend people less.
"What the official said is that there are still more children among us, and it is natural for adults to suffer some hardships, so they are afraid of suffering children."
The officers and soldiers were not moved at all, but only glanced at Brother Huan who was holding him in his arms, and then continued to reply angrily: "If you want something, you have to exchange this for this, do you know what it is?" ”
With that, the officers and soldiers shook the piece of silver cake in their hands.
Song He'er knew that these dogs would definitely fill their pockets, relying on the silver taels squeezed from the hands of these prisoners, they ate and drank here, and they didn't give out half of their strength, it seems that there is no fairness in this world.
"See? Whatever you want, you have to have this white money, and you can't do anything without it! ”
Song He'er saw his scoundrel appearance, and couldn't wait to go up and punch him.
"That'..... Where do we sleep? Qin Xiaoniang asked.
"Grass pits, caves, you can't sleep, you are exiles, it's best not to think about how noble you are, when you come here, you have to have points in your heart, you are not here to enjoy happiness at all!" The tone of the officers and soldiers is getting worse and worse, as if they want to blast them out now.
However, there is one thing, Song He'er still knows in his heart that the court will generally not care about the life or death of the prisoners who are exiled here, and let them fend for themselves here, so even if these officers and soldiers accidentally harm someone, the upper authorities will not hold them accountable.
"We need a quilt, and a pot for cooking, you don't need to prepare the rest, this money is enough." As he spoke, Song He'er took out a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to the officers and soldiers who saw the money.
These jades were still given to her by Jiang Huai in the palace, and now they can be regarded as coming in handy.
The officers and soldiers put the jade under the light, looked left and right, and after thinking for a long time, they stuffed the jade into their arms.
"There are quilts, but it depends on what quality you want, those defective products, of course, they are dirty and smelly, others have covered them, and they want those high-end ones, these are obviously not enough!"
Zhang Xiu'e couldn't bear it anymore, so she stepped forward directly to argue with the officers and soldiers, "You guys are robbing money!" A few torn quilts are so expensive! ”
"Yo, you have a big temper, tell you, love or not, get out if you don't!"
Song He'er knows the temperament of this group of people, they are used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, in this barren mountain, even if someone pays them to buy something, they may not come up with the price of a piece of jade, and now Song He'er has given a lot, but they have some inches in and will never be satisfied.
"In that case, we don't want the quilt either, please return the jade to me." Song He'er replied unhurriedly.
Where are the officers and soldiers willing to let their beaked ducks fly, they must be holding on to the jade and refusing to return it.
"How can you go back what you sent out?"
Song He'er smiled coldly, "This is an item from the General's Mansion, if you don't want to do this business with us, then you can take this money for nothing, but I'll put it here." ”
"If we don't have a quilt to spend the night, we will definitely gather to make trouble, and when the time comes, let the people above know, I will say that you accepted bribes and embezzled the property of the General's Mansion, you know, this is not ordinary silver and copper coins, when the General's Mansion was raided, a lot of property has been confiscated by the imperial court, but impartially, some things have fallen into your hands, what do you think the imperial court will do with you?"
The officer and soldier were speechless by these words, he looked down at the jade, and sweated in his palms.
What Song He'er said is indeed right, if the money is collected, then there is no account, even if they make trouble, the court will not be able to catch any tricks, but this piece of jade is indeed something only owned by rich and noble families, maybe it is really from the general's mansion, and it is not a capital crime to swallow such a thing privately?
"Give it back to you, I almost killed Lao Tzu!"
The officers and soldiers threw the jade back to Song He'er.
"I'll give you a choice, we have copper coins here, a total of three dollars left, we can all honor you, but you have to give us something to live, sir, this is real money, you have to think clearly." Song He'er began to tempt him with money.
After all, the silver has no name, and there is nothing to check down, so they can rest assured that they can receive it.
The officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, finally recognized their heads, and ordered their men to fetch quilts and cooking pots.
"When I meet you today, it's my bad luck, take these things and leave, there are six quilts in total, although they are not silk quilts, but they are also worthy of your daily use, and there is a small iron pot, a fire fold, and a kerosene lamp, which can make you live, as for what to eat and drink, what to use, it all depends on your own creation!"
After that, his officers and soldiers threw all these things to Zhang Xiu'e.
"If that's the case, why bother?"
The officers and soldiers sneered and said lightly: "The most indispensable thing for people is salt, you know, our salt here is very expensive, and it is impossible to sell salt without the salt issued by the imperial court, so the price of these private salts we eat is higher than that of ginseng, if one day you can't survive, you can come to me, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can do things for us, such as doing some manual work." ”
Song He'er was a little surprised, this place is so desolate, where can the craftsmanship be sold?
Mo is not Xizhou?
This is the border of the three countries, Xizhou is sparsely populated, and the material needs are also small, so there is no need for the handmade objects made by these prisoners, so in this case, who are they going to sell to?
"What do you do?" Song He'er followed his words and asked.
The officers and soldiers raised their heads and looked at her with a look of contempt, "Clothes, hats, straw sandals, kiln ceramics, what will be done." ”
Sandals.......
Song He'er suddenly understood something, straw sandals are sandals that are only worn in summer, and now the weather in the north is extremely cold, where will this kind of shoes be needed.
Therefore, a large number of people who need this kind of thing must be the southern country of Xinzhou, Nanzhao.
These officers and soldiers are really bold enough! Dare to have private dealings with Nanzhao people!
