Two days later, the big pan pier.

In the early morning, the sun had just risen in the east, but the sky was not yet fully bright, and it was still gray all around. It was quiet in the big pan pier, after all, no one wanted to get up so early in the cold wind.

Suddenly, Liu Yan pushed open the door and walked out, at this time Liu Yan was already wearing a shabby mandarin duck battle jacket, and he was still holding his own spear in his hand.

Liu Yan looked around, saw Chen Xun and the others on the lookout, and couldn't help but nodded. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, which made Liu Yan can't help but beat a spirit, so he put the spear next to him, moved it, and began to practice martial arts.

The matter of Huangshandun has ended, it is said that the commander of Huangshandun was beheaded, and all the dun troops were severely punished. Liu Dayu was appointed as the head of the Huangshan Dunjia on the same day, which was a speed that Liu Yan could not have imagined.

After Liu Yan finished practicing, he simply cleaned up and began to patrol the pier.

At this time, Wang Yue was energetically beckoning several military households and dismantling the simple cattle pen in the pier. Then a few people came to the outside of the pier, found a relatively flat open space, and after demarcating the range, they began to get busy and build a new cattle pen.

Seeing that Wang Yue and the others were busy building a new cattle pen, Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction. A villain like Wang Yue is also advantageous, as long as he uses it in the right place, it is still very useful to do some chores.

Then Liu Yan came to the soap workshop, Chen Jiang was busy with a dozen strong women, because of a large amount of boiling plant ashes, so that the house was full of water vapor, and even the vision of the white flowers was a little blurred.

Due to the need to increase the output of the soap workshop, Liu Yan sent additional manpower to Chen Jiang's family, and selected a few honest and diligent strong women from the ten military households to supplement the soap workshop.

"It's Captain A."

Chen Jiang was stirring the ashes of the grass and wood in the iron pot with a wooden stick, and when he looked up and saw Liu Yan who was looking around, he handed the wooden stick to a woman beside him and instructed her to keep stirring evenly, and then he walked over with a smile and said, "What do you command?" ”

Liu Yan took a look, now that the soap workshop is on the right track, with the leadership of Chen Jiang's family, these women perform their duties, and this month's output will definitely rise sharply.

"It's nothing, I'm just here to see."

Liu Yan stood in front of an iron pot and looked at it, the boiled plant ash in it had been completely stirred, then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "But what's the problem?" ”

"Chief A rest assured, there is no problem in the workshop now, everyone is in a hurry, and the delivery date will not be delayed."

"That's good."

After the test of this time, Chen Jiang's ability is quite useful, he is also reliable, and he is Chen Xun's wife, Liu Yan considered that in another two months, he told Chen Jiang's that the soybean oil and plant ash were compatible, and Chen Jiang's was fully responsible for the soap workshop, after all, Liu Yan himself couldn't always devote himself to the soap workshop, and he still had a lot of things to do.

Liu Yan looked at it for a while, then came out of the soap workshop, and saw Wang Yue coming.

"Captain A's got someone outside."

"Who's coming?"

"It's the first chief of Shagou Dun, Huangshan Dun, and Fengshan Dun, and they all came over with some dun troops, saying that they wanted to deliver goods to the first chief."

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the promise made by Wang Weizhen, so he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Outside the Dapandun, the three armor chiefs of Shagou Dun, Huangshan Dun, and Fengshan Dun are talking about something in a whisper, and behind the three of them, there are more than a dozen ragged dun soldiers, who are looking around curiously.

These dun soldiers had a flat pole attached to it with two bulging cloth bags, and they didn't know what they contained.

After Liu Yan came out, Wang Yue stepped forward to introduce Shen Wenyun, the head of the Shagou pier, the new head of the Huangshan pier was Liu Dayu, and Liu Qunyi, the head of the wind volcano pier.

Liu Yan looked at the three of them, and Shen Wenyun was thin and tall, with a pair of triangular eyes that were shrewd and ruthless.

And Liu Qunyi is a burly man, with a scar on the left side of his face, and he looks like a fierce fighter.

At this time, the three of them gave up their hands one after another, Liu Yan also smiled and returned the salute, and then said: "The three of them are here, and they are not welcomed, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

As he spoke, Liu Yan looked at the dun army brought by the three of them, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Shen Wenyun, the head of Shagou Dunjia, was the leader among the three, and said with a smile at this time: "Liu Zongqi is so courageous, take the initiative to stand up in Tuntian, I will wait for a good student to admire." ”

"Hehe, where, where, it's just to share the worries of the management team."

Shen Wenyun smiled ruefully, his voice was so ugly that Liu Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, and then asked again: "What advice do the three of you have?" ”

Shen Wenyun said: "That's the case, the master of the management team sent someone to tell us, saying that Liu Zongqi needs a large amount of grass and wood ash here, and ordered me to send it regularly every month, and I can send as much as I can." No, the three of us made an appointment today and sent 3,000 catties of fine plant ash to Liu Zongqi, and asked Liu Zongqi to accept it. ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "There are three Laos." ”

After speaking, Liu Yan asked Wang Yue to collect the goods, Wang Yue took his four dun soldiers, and called a few young soldiers to start checking bag by bag.

At this moment, Liu Qunyi said angrily: "I said Liu Zongqi, we have also sent this plant ash, when will we settle the bill?" ”

Liu Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, when Wang Weizhen told him about this, he was talking about support, but he didn't mention spending money to buy it.

Liu Yan glanced at Shen Wenyun, and saw that Shen Wenyun was smiling sideways, and he understood a little in his heart, so he said with a smile: "Okay, when the inspection is completed, let's talk." ”

"That's pretty much it."

Liu Qunyi walked to Shen Wenyun and Liu Dayu again, and the three of them whispered something. When the two of them were talking to Liu Yan before, Liu Dayu was standing next to him, always watching coldly.

"Humph! If you want to come to me to fight the autumn breeze, I think you have miscalculated! ”

Liu Yan quietly found a place to sit down, and his eyes swept over the dozen or so dun soldiers who were carrying burdens, only to see that most of those dun soldiers were looking intently at the inside and outside of the big plate, and their eyes were full of yearning.

It's no wonder that although the people in Dapandun are not very rich, they have hope in their hearts, and their hands are full of energy.

On the other hand, those dun soldiers brought by Shen Wenyun and others were numb and thin, and Liu Yan was even worried that a slightly stronger wind would blow them down, where was this Ming guard's soldiers, even beggars were not as good! It can be seen that Shen Wenyun, Liu Qunyi, and Liu Dayu are heavy on their subordinates on weekdays.

"Since you took the initiative to knock on the bamboo, then don't blame me for doing it!"

Liu Yan already had a countermeasure to fight back in his heart, and it happened that Wang Yue's side had already finished the experience. I have to say that although the conduct of Shen Wenyun and the others is not very good, the ashes brought by these plants and trees are still good, and there are not many impurities, which can be regarded as superior.

At this time, Shen Wenyun, Liu Dayu, and Liu Qunyi also came over, and Shen Wenyun said with a smile: "What's the matter, the grass and wood ash we brought is good, right?" ”

"Well, it's clean."

Liu Qunyi asked loudly: "How to calculate the price!" ”

Although Liu Dayu didn't speak, he also looked at Liu Yan with a sneer, which made Liu Yan very uncomfortable.

"In this way, how about I give you a penny for every ten catties of plant ash?"

According to the price given by Liu Yan, three thousand catties of grass and wood ash were priced at thirty taels of silver. Liu Dayu was already full of joy when he heard this, Liu Qunyi also grinned at the corners of his mouth, only Shen Wenyun sneered and said: "Liu Zongqi has done a good business, I have also heard of it, this plant ash is used to make that soap thing, soap is now a good commodity everywhere in Lingshanwei, presumably Liu Zongqi has made a lot of money." Is it reasonable to give us so little money now? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qunyi and Liu Dayu both looked at it, and the two obviously felt that the price was low.

Liu Yan laughed, and then deliberately said loudly: "The three of you don't know, I did earn some silver, but now I want to tuntian, I have divided the arable land for all the military households and dun troops under my command, and the cattle, seeds, and farm tools are all counted as mine, and even the rations of everyone are counted on my head now, not only can I eat enough every day, but I also have meat every five days, and there is wine every ten days, this silver is like a waterfall, and the water flows out generally, and now I am also shy in my pocket!" ”

Shen Wenyun, Liu Dayu, and Liu Qunyi didn't know whether Liu Yan's words were true or false for a while, but the faces of more than a dozen dun soldiers under the three of them changed greatly, and everyone was no longer yearning and envy at this time, but their eyes were fiery looking at everything in Dapandun, not only some people whispered, but even two people walked two steps towards Dapandun without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and they were glared at fiercely by Liu Qunyi, and the two retreated in fear.

"Humph!"

Shen Wenyun said: "Even so, our three thousand catties of grass and wood ash have taken a lot of effort, and Liu Zongqi should not reduce the price too low." Otherwise, we won't be able to deliver it again next month. ”

Liu Yan smiled secretly in his heart: "Even if you send it in the future, I won't be too lazy to ask for it, the soap business is so profitable, I don't want too many people to get involved!" ”

So Liu Yan pretended to be embarrassed and said to Wang Yue: "Since the three of them have said so, then you go and see how much silver we have, and I can raise it appropriately." ”

Wang Yue looked at Liu Yan's expression, and immediately understood, and ran into the pier after agreeing.

After a while, Wang Yue came back with a depressed face and said in a low voice: "Captain Jia, we only have more than fifty taels of silver left." ”

Liu Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "There are so few left!" ”

Then Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said to Shen Wenyun: "Since this is the case, I can't treat the three of them badly, so let's do it, every ten catties of grass and wood ash is one and a half, how about it?" ”

Shen Wenyun and the three of them looked at each other, and then agreed.

Liu Yan asked Wang Yue to take forty-five taels of silver, and counted it twice in front of Shen Wenyun and the three of them before handing over the silver to Shen Wenyun.

After receiving the money, Shen Wenyun and the three of them were about to leave, but they saw that the dozen or so dun soldiers they brought were looking at the inside and outside of Dapandun with envy, and there were two dun soldiers talking to the people of Dapandun.

At this moment, Shen Wenyun and the three of them were immediately annoyed, Shen Wenyun and Liu Dayu were still standing aside and scolding loudly, but Liu Qunyi had already picked up the whip and started to whip people.

"Bastard, you're embarrassing to me here!"

After a period of beating and scolding, the dozen or so dun soldiers were taken away, leaving only the Dapandun people stunned.

Liu Yan smiled and said to Wang Yue: "Okay, you can understand what I mean with one look, this play is good!" ”

Wang Yue said excitedly: "It's all led by the first chief, and now the three of them are still in the dark." ”

"This is not necessarily the case, I think Shen Wenyun will understand in a short time, this grass ash is estimated to be gone next month."

Liu Yan said, and began to calculate in his heart, during this time, part of the east was spent, part of the west was spent, and now there were more than fifty taels of silver left in his hand, Liu Yan suddenly sighed that the silver could not help but be spent.

Suddenly, Liu Yan heard Wang Yue say loudly on the side: "You all saw it, right?" What is the situation of other chimneys, and what are the days of those dun soldiers? Compared with them, you have lived a fairy-like life in Dapandun, and in the future, you must follow Captain A to work hard, and you must not be lazy! ”

A group of dun soldiers and military households also saw the appearance of the dozen dun soldiers, and at this time they listened to Wang Yue's words and thought it was true. So everyone agreed, and many women and old people even knelt down and bowed to Liu Yan.

Seeing this, Liu Yan smiled slightly: "This Wang Yue is really empathetic and has some use. ”
