Chapter 156: Bandits
Chen Zhang nodded slightly
"Okay, since this is the case, then we will form a caravan, Qian Ruxue, you will distribute the materials, divide the goods into 5 caravans, and everyone will enter the Antarctic Mansion, sell them when the time comes, and then replenish them."
"It would be nice to be able to leave safely in the name of a businessman, but if something happens, it seems that we will only be able to attack by force."
When Zhao Dachun and the others heard this, they took a deep breath, and their expressions became quite solemn.
Attacking Antarctic Province is definitely not as simple as attacking Antai County.
Antai County is a county seat, and Antarctic Prefecture is more than dozens of times stronger than Antai County in terms of military strength and strength.
If you really fight, it's absolutely dangerous.
But even so, Zhao Dachun and the others did not have any fear, and their eyes showed a dazzling light.
"Lord, we will do what you say"
"To my lord, we will do what you say we will do"
When the rest of the soldiers heard this, they also expressed their loyalty one by one.
"Okay, in that case, then let's go through this Antarctic Mansion. Come and meet me in the Antarctic Mansion for a while,"
Chen Zhang was also infected by their momentum, and his eyes were shining.
The barbarian army totaled 250 people, and they were all scattered. They were divided into 5 caravans in groups of 50 people.
Qian Ruxue even broke up the 50 Burning Phoenix Battalions into various caravans."
After all, the caravan was made up of women, and it was impossible to pass through at all, making people notice that something was wrong at a glance.
meanwhile
The various materials harvested in Antai County were also divided into five categories, which were carried by the commercial houses."
Among them, they are grain, weapons, ordnance, antiques, calligraphy and painting, and cloth. vegetables, etc.
After all, the barbarian army is from a rogue background, everyone is poor and scared, and when there is a chance, when they can grab something, they will naturally grab something, and even the bench with a missing leg will be snatched over.
It can only be said that I am afraid of poverty.
Nowadays, these things are divided into different grades according to the different levels of value.
The 50 people in the caravan led by Chen Zhang were all elite soldiers, and Qian Ruxue also followed them.
Part of the food they carry, and the other part is antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are a more expensive part.
It's understandable to think about it, even if Chen Zhang doesn't care about resources, but in terms of resource allocation, Chen Zhang, as the lord, is naturally allocated the best and best quality, and everyone will not think that there is anything wrong with this.
Soon Chen Zhang disguised himself as a shopkeeper, and Qian Ruxue was wearing a decent dress, so she naturally became the shopkeeper's wife.
Originally, Chen Zhang was a little hesitant, but looking at Qian Ruxue's original appearance, no one believes him if you want to say that he is a maid or something.
And the two are of the same age, and it is impossible to say that they are father and daughter, even if they are father and daughter, a single woman is in chaos here, in case someone takes a fancy to take it by force, he has no way,
Thinking about it, I still have to become Mrs. Chen Zhang, no. The shopkeeper is the safest."
After all, although some people are good wives, they still have to have some faces, and they can't rob them openly.
Zhao Dachun originally wanted him to lead a caravan alone, but Zhao Dachun was unwilling
He thinks he's stupid, it's no problem to protect his lord, he really wants to do business, and he probably doesn't know what's going on when he is sold.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhang didn't force it
Don't say it, it's because of the existence of Qian Ruxue that this caravan is still decently formed
Soon the five caravans were assigned and divided into three days to enter the Antarctic Province."
One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and the last car on the third day, so that they can be separated and attract unattractive attention
After all, if you had five caravans entering at once on the same day, it would be suspicious.
But if it's staggered, even if it's doubtful, it will take a while, and when it is discovered. It is estimated that they have already left Antarctica.
At the gates of the Antarctic Mansion, a large number of soldiers were waiting for the battle, their eyes were like torches, they were wearing full armor, holding weapons, and their eyes were scanning the bodies of people who came in and out like scanners.
Guarding the city gate was originally a very hard job, and no one wanted to do it, but since the Liukou besieged the capital, the Antarctic Mansion ushered in the stationing of major officers and soldiers and the comings and goings of major merchant caravans
The gate of the city also changed from a clear water yamen to an oil and water rush all of a sudden.
Ordinary people let go, once a caravan comes, or some generals passing by and want to resupply, then it will be time for them to get oil and water.
Of course
For the generals, they did not dare. But for businessmen, that's not for them to feast.
It can be said that the guards at the city gate have been flying fat one by one in the past few days
The capital is under siege, and many people outside have been displaced. The people are not happy, but the officers and soldiers who defend the city in this Antarctic Mansion can eat smooth noodles one by one, and their stomachs are huge.
These officers and soldiers looked around proudly, and suddenly
Seeing the arrival of a group of caravans, his eyes instantly brightened, and his breathing became quite rapid
"One by one, cheer me up, see if you don't see it, come to live, everyone come to live"
As he spoke, the officers and soldiers who were still lazy jumped up one after another, looked at the approaching caravan, and licked their lips, revealing a bloodthirsty light.
Chen Zhang sat in the simple carriage and moved forward slowly.
It is inappropriate to march with a carriage, but as a logistics department, there are especially some women, after all, it is not very convenient to go to the toilet.
As a result, these carriages were sometimes used as makeshift latrines.
Now it's really inappropriate to take it and convert it into a carriage
But there are also carriages that were used for goods, and are now simply converted into a carriage for carrying people.
Chen Zhang and Qian Ruxue sat in it, watching the carriage move slowly, bumping endlessly, and his old waist was about to be broken.
"This carriage is really uncomfortable to sit in, it's better to come on horseback."
Chen Zhangloulou's own old waist, he felt that it was useless and would be wasted if it was turned upside down.
Qian Ruxue smiled secretly, she was graceful and luxurious in silk and satin
"Boss, why are you so uncomfortable? Are you not used to riding in a carriage? The carriage is already quite good, and it's even more uncomfortable if you ride a horse."
"You're used to riding horses, that's why you don't feel comfortable riding in a carriage."
Boss.
These three words slowly spit out from Qian Ruxue's mouth, and Chen Zhang, who heard it, had goosebumps all over his body, and even shivered.
It's not disgusting, it's a comforting feeling."
Looking at the charming and moving Qian Ruxue, I understand why many people only love beauties and don't love the country"
If some women are really coquettish, it is even more refreshing than smoking something.
"The reason why this carriage is bumpy is not because I am not used to it, but because it is not equipped with a suspension system at all"
Chen Zhang gritted his teeth and said
If nothing else, let's just say that in reality, no matter how garbage cars are, they also have a suspension system.
But then again, in reality, the roads are relatively smooth, where it is like ancient times, the roads are potholes, and there is no shock absorption system, which simply makes people's butts sit upside down. "Suspension system"
Qian Ruxue was slightly stunned
I never knew what this suspension system was, so I asked curiously
"Boss, what is this suspension system?"
Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to blurt out modern words, but this is not a great thing, after all, in reality, the shock suspension system is very widely used, and it is not impossible to make it with the current level of science and technology, but it can only be said that the cost is extremely high, and he paused
"The so-called suspension system is a decompression system, and the suspension system is installed on the axle wheels, which can reduce the bumpiness of the carriage even if the road is bumpy, making people feel like they are walking on the ground."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Qian Ruxue's commercial cells were activated instantly, and her eyes lit up
"Then, you, who are in charge, will you do this?"
"Won't"
Chen Zhang clapped his hands.
Joke
He wasn't mechanically mechanical, and the hell knows how to make it.
Qian Ruxue was suddenly depressed, and her eyes seemed to say that you won't say a hammer, won't you fool me?
This obviously skeptical look made Chen Zhang angry.
Is there a way that I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run?
Cough twice
"I don't, but I know what it looks like, and it's basically like a spring."
"What is a spring?"
Chen Zhang immediately turned bitter
He suddenly discovered a problem, that is, modern industry is one ring after another.
To solve this problem with the ancients is not to say that the ancients could not understand, but it is really very troublesome."
Thinking of this, he could only explain it head-on.
Finally waiting for Qian Ruxue to seem to understand a little, he immediately spread the topic and wiped the sweat from his forehead
In the future, you must not say some modern terms again at every turn, it is too troublesome to explain.
There is a saying that the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, but Qian Ruxue seems to have it in mind.
Soon the carriage came to a halt in front of the city gate of Antarctic Province.
Zhao Dachun had a simple look on his face, changed into ordinary clothes, and looked like an honest man.
Take a step forward
"A few officials"
As he spoke, he took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it over, "We are the Liu family's business group, and we came to the Antarctic Mansion to sell some things, and I hope to ask for a convenience."
The officers and soldiers took the silver in their hands and weighed it, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The amount of broken silver is quite sufficient.
In normal times, they would naturally be let go, but now is a special time.
It is possible to slaughter one head, and the prefect gave the order to die.
Take a deep breath at the thought of this
"You should know that there is chaos outside, and your merchant group now wants to enter the Antarctic Mansion and go to the capital, are you gangsters?"
"Come on, arrest them all"
Between words. A large number of officers and soldiers have long been eager to surround them."
There were even some people watching on the side, and they hurriedly hid to the side. Looking at the caravan with unusually complex and compassionate eyes, whispering
"Well, another caravan has been caught, and they will still be put in prison"
"Isn't it? The first few caravans were all locked in, but they were all released later."
"Of course they were released, but all their goods were sold to the government."
"Say it is to prevent them from colluding with bandits"
