In mid-February, when the morning sun rises, the glow falls on the earth. Coming is the breath of spring, a new day, a new beginning.

For Li Hu, the warden of Huazhou Soldiers and Horses, and all the officers, today is a good day, and they have paid the ransom one after another, and they are finally free.

Only when you have truly lost your freedom can you know its preciousness.

Although there is no worry about eating and drinking in Shaohua Mountain, although there is no need to engage in manual labor. Although he has been pampered for a few days, his face is ruddy and he has gained a lot of weight. Despite having a single-door suite, the treatment was among the best among the captives.

But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and preferential treatment will breed bad attitudes. The officers of the Huazhou Forbidden Army were still not satisfied, looking left and right, hoping that the government would come forward to deliver money and food to the place, looking forward to growing their necks, and hoping to get out of the cage as soon as possible.

In fact, the money and food of these people with status were in place three or two days ago, but they were considered by the cottage to be unspecialized, and they have been delayed until now on the grounds that a piece is sent down the mountain.

Since ancient times, the rich have been in the minority.

Among the captured prisoners, except for Li Dujian and other officers, children of the family, and some soldiers of the forbidden army from well-to-do families, most of them did not have good family conditions, and even said that they were poor, and they joined the army just to make ends meet.

The family has no money to ransom people, and it is impossible for Huazhou Taishou to pay out of his own pocket. So more than sixty percent of the captives remained in the mountains, and no one cared about them.

In other words, it has been abandoned by the government and the powerful.

This is also why Shaohuashan is well treated and has a high pension.

The reason why the native soldiers, the guards were willing to risk losing their heads, and voluntarily defected to the cottage. Just for Bo Yibo, I can live a good life from now on. If you don't work hard, you can send more money back home.

Anyway, this time the population is in sale, and Shaohuashan is making a lot of money!

The Huazhou government provided a batch of equipment, built more than 10 new cottage granaries, hoarded more than 100,000 stone of grain, and piled up more than 200,000 yuan of gold and silver. Plus herds of cattle and sheep, pig iron, cloth and other miscellaneous things.

Its value is no less than the harvest of robbing the Qian family!

This is a knock on the stick, the money and food are sufficient, and the bottom of my heart is not panicked!

In private, all walks of life worked carefully to promote that Shaohua Mountain had money, food, and could be full. The displaced people who had fled from all over the country were found in need, and the poor people rushed up the mountain when they heard the news.

But while extortion opened a precedent for trading, it also offended the magnates of Huazhou City.

Before going down the mountain, Li Hu, the capital eunuch of the soldiers and horses, was stopped by Li San and instructed: "Lord Metropolitan Eunuch, our leader asks you to bring a message, Shaohuashan does not want to be an enemy of others, and I hope that the Huazhou government will consider it carefully and not come to cause trouble again." ”

After descending the mountain, the old boy sat in the carriage and looked at Shaohua Mountain, which was getting farther and farther away, and remembered the humiliation of being arrested and the treatment of being under house arrest like a prisoner. The heart is resentful, and the face is full of hideous muttering the name of Wang Jin.

When he returned to Huazhou City, Li Du couldn't care about the shame and anger caused by the people on the street, and he didn't care about going home, so he looked for Liu Taishou in Huazhou City as soon as possible. Fell to his knees and cried, reporting the defeat in the war.

As a result, it's not hard to guess!

As soon as Shaohuashan released the officers and seven or eight hundred prisoners, the Huazhou Mansion reported to the imperial court that the strongmen of Shaohuashan had done a lot of evil, did evil, used shameless means to defeat the imperial court to suppress the bandit army, and killed the imperial court officials. All kinds of crimes were listed in detail, and the imperial court was asked to increase troops to encircle and suppress them.

The fine work under the command of Ma Ling, the god of the horse, has not been able to enter the government for the time being, and the specific content of the report is not clear. However, some people have been monitoring the officers and the Huazhou government, and they are well aware of Li Dujian's anti-bone performance.

Wang Jin thought with his toes that he knew that this group of corrupt officials didn't hold back their farts. must shirk responsibility, avoid the important and light, reduce their own responsibilities, and smear Shaohua Mountain one by one, and all the bad things of the old rotten grain are buckled.

He also considered that the Huazhou government would report to the imperial court and ask for reinforcements to encircle and suppress this group of strongmen who were beating the bones and sucking the marrow, in order to repay the humiliation he suffered this time.

But so what?

In ancient times, unlike the later generations, the transportation was not as convenient, from Huazhou, Shaanxi to Kaifeng, Henan at least more than a month, and the process of sending the report to the capital through the process was cumbersome, even if it was simple. The military system of the Northern Song Dynasty ate, and then drew troops and horses from all over the country, and then selected suitable generals, not counting the time for running-in training, the imperial army reinforcements arrived in Huazhou, at least in March or even longer.

You can't even catch up with the hot.

Wang Jin took this into consideration, so he took the opportunity to knock the stick. Pay close attention to the Huazhou government, and spread some rumors in the city by the way. His main focus was on training the army and following a strategic approach.

Although Shaohuashan is only over-made and will not stay for a long time, it does not prevent the transformation of the cottage model. This time the officers and soldiers were exterminated, and the second master of the Qian family never returned. Several wealthy families in Shuanghengling secretly sent people to the mountains to contact their feelings.

expressed willingness to do long-term business with the cottage. Three months ago, there was no land to buy or sell, but this time I came to the mountains to make contact, and each sent a thousand stones of grain and ten thousand pieces of gold and silver. Mixed in with the queue that sent money and food, swaggering.

In view of the fact that these old foxes were very interested, Wang Jin took his minions to escort a few carts of white sugar and excellent wine to a secluded place to meet and reach a cooperation.

The sugar and liquor are handed over to them.

For example, white sugar, the rich buy price of 200 wen a catty, 250 wen into the market, according to the market fluctuations shall not exceed 300 wen, the profit is huge.

Not to mention the wine, the purchase price of 50 wen per catty, the rich can sell it for 100 wen. You can't blindly raise the price, otherwise you will be banned from acting as an agent.

White sugar, wine is a violent business!

A hundred catties of beets have more than half a dollar on their heads, but they can boil about twenty-five catties of sugar. The wine is purchased and purified and sold, and the profit is calculated.

With these two businesses, as long as it is stable, the cottage can not steal or rob. Of course, according to the information gathered, whoever is a bully will rob whomever he wants.

Wang Jin thought of the bright future, and a smile appeared on his face. I was disturbed.

"Wang Dutou, food!" Shang Guihua's mouth is crooked and her eyes are slanted.

Wang Jin came back to his senses, looked at the woman's somewhat unkind eyes, and was very speechless: "Don't make trouble, no chili peppers, no seasoning, I'll be a fart." ”

In the past few days, when the other party meets, he will muttered in his ear about this king's head. If the seasoning is complete, he can still cook a few dishes, but in ancient times, there was nothing, with his skills, at most a barbecue, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

"I don't care, what you say, you should do it." Shang Guihua is obviously the master who will not give up easily, staring at someone word by word.

Wang Jin was so confused by this little girl's film that he wanted to cover up this lie with other lies, but suddenly there seemed to be a toon tree on the side of the road, leaned over and pinched a young bud and smelled it, and a smile appeared on his face.

At dusk, the team rushed back to Shaohua Mountain, and Wang Jin went straight to the canteen to work. Use wild toon trees picked on the road and mix eggs to make a home-cooked meal.

Shaohua Mountain, canteen.

A large iron pot in front of the door wafted the enticing aroma of eggs.

Wang Jin personally took the spatula and stir-fried, and the egg cake mixed with the young shoots of plants deepened in color. Shang Guihua, who was holding a rice bowl next to her, had green eyes glowing. Yang Chun and several big and small leaders drooled and looked at it with blank eyes.

Stay until the omelette is golden brown on both sides.

Wang Jin took a spatula and shoveled several pieces of egg cakes into Shang Guihua's bowl, and said undoubtedly: "This is called toon egg cake, it must be delicious." Let's say okay, after eating this, we can't bring up the old things again in the future. ”

"Uh-huh......" Shang Guihua nodded again and again after tasting the toon egg cake. Uh-huh, I just don't speak, I really look like a dumb person.

"These belong to you, it's best not to make mistakes, otherwise, it's not good to eat." Wang Jin also shoveled a few pieces, all of which were left to Chen Da, Yang Chun and others, but the cruel words he left behind attracted the bitter ghosts to cheer and rush up.
