Since everyone in Dapandun ate a pork wonton together, all the Dunjun and their families feel a lot closer to each other, especially for Liu Yan, everyone feels that Liu Yan is their leader from the heart, and the hearts of Dapandun people have condensed a lot. This made Liu Dayu very dissatisfied, but he was helpless.

Early in the morning two days later, Liu Yan got up early as usual, and after getting fully dressed, he finished another set of punches. Then Liu Yan saw Liu Dayu staggering out of the room, and Wang Yue, who was pouring the night pot on the side, saw this, so he came up with a fart, and the two didn't know what they were talking about, and walked towards the lookout together.

Liu Yan wiped his sweat, and then stopped Liu Dayu and said: "Yesterday evening, I received a message from the official hall of 100 households, today is the day when rations are distributed in various chimneys and tunbao in Wangjiazhuang, you take someone to Wangjiazhuang to get back the rations of our Dapandun." ”

Liu Dayu was slightly stunned, he was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to get food, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to take the initiative to find him, so he agreed to come down and beckoned a few dun soldiers to go to the ox cart.

Seeing this, Wang Yue looked at Liu Yan thoughtfully, only to see Liu Yan go back to the house directly.

"Something's going to happen!"

Wang Yue's face was a little ugly, and he quickly chased to the gate, grabbed Liu Dayu, who was about to get into the ox cart, and said: "Be careful, I see that Captain A seems to have planned something, be careful not to be dealt with by him!" ”

Liu Dayu sneered while commanding the three dun soldiers to prepare the ox cart and said, "Then what can Liu Yan plan, isn't it just a reckless man?" Although Liu Yan now has the appreciation of Lord Wang, the officer of the management team, but I also have Mrs. Xu as the backstage, you can rest assured, nothing big will happen. ”

After speaking, Liu Dayu got on the ox cart, whipped the ox on the back, and the ox cart rattled forward, leaving Wang Yue standing at the door, but his face was very wonderful, and after a while, he went directly back to his house and did not come out.

Here Liu Yan returned to the house and checked the soap made last night, only to see that the soap had gradually solidified into a solid in the mold, but it was still very soft and could not be picked up at all, and it would take a few days to really set the shape. For these soaps to really take shape, it will take more than ten days, or even twenty days, to fully evaporate the water in the soap, which is urgent.

So Liu Yan found some rags to cover all the soap in case dust and dirt fell on it, and then Liu Yan went out to find Chen Xun.

At this time, Chen Xun was wiping a three-eyed gun in his house, and Chen Jiang was washing a few old clothes diligently.

In the cold weather, Chen Jiang's hands were red from the cold, and Liu Yan even saw two chilblains, which was very miserable. And the three-eyed gun in Chen Xun's hand is also very worn, and the three guns are even fixed together with thick hemp rope, Liu Yan is worried that once this three-eyed gun is fired, it will explode 100%.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh, this is the current situation of the Daming Dun Army at this time, it is the same all over the world, and he can only sigh at this stage. But fortunately, his plan to make money with soap has begun to be implemented, and once the soap is made, he will definitely be able to make money, which can not only improve the living standards of himself and his subordinates, but also allow Liu Yan to have the capital to further develop his strength.

"Captain A is here, sit down."

Chen Xun saw Liu Yan at the door, hurriedly put down the three-eyed gun, and beckoned Liu Yan to come in and sit down. Chen Jiang also smiled and got up to greet him, wiped his hands on his body, and then went to boil water.

Liu Yan was polite, then closed the door and said to Chen Xun: "Liu Dayu has brought people to Wangjiazhuang to get grain, and after a while, you will call a few reliable dun troops to get ready, if Liu Dayu comes back from transporting grain and listens to my orders, once the amount of rations transported back is not right, he will take it down." ”

Chen Xun nodded heavily with a solemn face, and said: "I'm a little worried about Wang Yue's side, he can also call a few dun soldiers, in case the two sides really tear their faces, we have a small number, and we will suffer." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said, "If I was really worried a few days ago, but now you can rest assured, no one in the pier will follow them, this matter is related to the self-interest of everyone in the pier, and most of them will wait and see." ”

"That's the best."

After Liu Yan instructed Chen Xun, he wrapped himself in a cotton coat and went to the lookout. Liu Yan sat on a wooden pier, and when he looked around, he saw that the area around the Dapandun was vast, and there were withered yellow weeds, white frost, and scattered dead trees.

"Alas!"

This is the Ming Dynasty at this time, almost every year there are decades-in-a-lifetime, or even once-in-a-century natural disasters, which can be said to be continuous year after year, not to mention the Ming Empire at this time, even if it is a modern red country in later generations, it is difficult to bear, it is really a heavenly injustice!

Just when Liu Yan's thoughts were drifting, Chen Xun had already arranged several dun soldiers, and at the same time, he had also arranged the rest of the dun army, and the family members in Dapandun were also ordered to stay in their respective houses and try not to come out.

At this time, Chen Xun climbed up the lookout along the soft ladder, came to Liu Yan's side and whispered, "Captain A, I'm ready." ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Listen to my orders, don't act rashly after Liu Dayu comes back." ”

"Yes."

"Also, where are the Wang Yue people now?"

Chen Xun said with a strange expression: "When I arranged the manpower, I saw Wang Yue, and he went back to his house directly and never came out. ”

"Humph! This dog's leg is really quick to see the opportunity. ”

Chen Xun asked, "What does Captain A mean by this?" ”

"I guess Wang Yue noticed something, so he chose to be none of his business."

"Isn't he just a sycophant, so smart?"

"Don't underestimate those sycophants, they are all human spirits, and they are the best at observing words and feelings."

After speaking, Liu Yan also felt that it was a little cold here, so he got up and prepared to go back to the house to rest, just waiting for Liu Dayu to come back: "Arrange someone to keep an eye here, and Liu Dayu will tell me in advance when he comes back." ”

"Okay, don't worry."

Half a day later, Liu Dayu and his entourage returned to Dapandun with rations. The dun army on the lookout informed Liu Yan in advance, and when Liu Dayu and the others entered the Dapan dun, Liu Yan and Chen Xun had already brought six dun soldiers to the open space at the door.

Seeing this, Liu Dayu secretly screamed in his heart, and looked around to find Wang Yue's figure, but found that only Liu Yan and others were in the dun, and the rest of the dunjun and family members were nowhere to be seen.

"A, Chief, what's wrong?"

Liu Yan looked at Liu Dayu expressionlessly and said, "Chen Xun! ”

"In!"

"Take someone to count the rations."

"Order!"

Chen Xun took the six dun soldiers and began to count, Liu Dayu stood aside, although he had already thought of his words, but he was still a little nervous in his heart.

After a while, Chen Xun looked at Liu Yan with a strange face, and then clenched his fists and said, "Qi Yu Jia, the amount of rations is correct!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Yan couldn't help but sneer, it seems that Mrs. Xu and Liu Dayu are not too greedy, although Liu Yan understands in his heart that these rations must have been swallowed, but the amount that has been swallowed is also the practice of previous years, even if the accounts are checked, they can't be found, because the total number of rations calculated by Liu Yan is the number after deducting the conventions of previous years.

"The current Daming has rotted from the roots, not one person can change it, it is still important to make money now, since Liu Dayu is still interesting, there is no need to tear his face with it this time."

Liu Yan thought in his heart, so he said to Liu Dayu: "This errand is good, you and Chen Xun will work together to distribute all these rations." ”

Liu Dayu breathed a sigh of relief, just agreed, and beckoned his subordinates to unload the car, but Liu Dayu's mood was not very good, and he was very depressed.

Liu Yan naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to Liu Dayu's mood, and went back to the house to cook the soap blanks, and at the same time, Liu Yan also had to think about the details of the cooperation with Wang Weizhen, the officer of the management team, after the soap was made.

A moment later, Wang Yue, who heard the movement outside, came out of his house, and saw that everyone in the pier was distributing rations, and everyone's faces were filled with joy, so he found an opportunity to pull Liu Dayu aside.

Wang Yue asked in a low voice, "How is this trip?" I heard in the house just now that the rations this time were distributed according to the truth, and Mrs. Xu still deducted 30% as usual? ”

Liu Dayu nodded in affirmation of Wang Yue's inquiry, then sighed and said: "Huangshandun made a fuss because the gentry withheld more rations, and Wang Weizhen, the officer in charge of the team, was furious because of this, and specially informed the old lady Xu, saying that the rations of the chimneys everywhere must not be deducted, there is no way, this time it can only be like this." ”

Wang Yue was taken aback, and began to think about it in his heart, but he still asked, "Then what are your plans?" ”

Liu Dayu snorted coldly and said: "The matter of Huangshandun is estimated to be not good, the first chief there will definitely be taken down, I have already told the old lady Xu that when the matter of Huangshandun is over, I will be transferred to serve as the chief flag officer." ”

Wang Yue was completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Wang Yue said with a flattering smile again: "After Brother Liu arrives at Huangshandun, can you please ask Old Lady Xu to transfer me over, I still want to be in Brother Liu, oh, no!" It's Liu Jiachang's subordinates on an errand! ”

Liu Dayu glanced at Wang Yue, and said expressionlessly: "Forget about this matter, just getting me over alone, it has already made Mrs. Xu spend a lot of effort, Huangshandun is fat and lacking, how many people are staring at it, do you think it's so easy to get someone over!" ”

After speaking, Liu Dayu ignored Wang Yue and went back to the house directly with his own rations.

Wang Yue looked at Liu Dayu who pushed the door into the house, lost, aggrieved, angry, unwilling, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and finally looked at the direction of Liu Dayu's house, and said angrily: "Okay! Since you Liu Dayu are not emotional, then I also have to think about my own future. From now on, let's cut it in two! ”

On the same day, all the rations of the people in Dapandun were distributed, and everyone was like the New Year, every household was talking and laughing, and even the faces of those lonely Dunjun were filled with joy and smiles.

Liu Yan came to Chen Xun's house with a pot of bad wine and some food, Chen Xun and his family were very happy, Chen Jiang's family was busy making a few snacks, although there was no meat, but it was delicious, and the two immediately ate and drank.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yan said: "In a few days, you will go to Wangjiazhuang with me." ”

Chen Xun asked, "Is Chief A going to buy something?" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "I'm already poor now, what else can I buy?" ”

Chen Xun is different from Liu Dayu and Wang Yue, and is Liu Yan's absolute confidant, so Liu Yan did not hide it from Chen Xun, so he explained the matter of making soap to make money.

Chen Xun's eyes widened and he said, "Captain A still makes these things?" Is that soap really so good, can it really make money? ”

"Trust me, for sure."

"What is the chief going to do when he goes to Wangjiazhuang has something to do with this soap?"

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Of course." After we have soap, we have to find a market, as well as a protective ~ umbrella that can shelter us from the wind and rain! ”
