Chapter Twenty-Six: The Barbarian Army's Zero-Yuan Purchase Plan

In the six-door prison, Fu Donglai's body was missing his left leg.

Mu Tianming, as the head of an idle post in Maying County outside the city, is not qualified to stay at the scene for long.

Later, several waves of officials from the Criminal Department and the Governor's Mansion arrived, and Mu Tianming left first.

This thing is strange and weird, but Mu Tianming is not so curious.

When I returned home, I still read books, practiced knives, ate and slept in the same way.

It's just that others sleep just to sleep, and Mu Tianming sleeps but has attribute points to take.

Harvest two points from the two concubines every day, and it is impossible to shake it. In addition, all the points obtained are added to the [Jing Yuan], and there is no backache.

The service of the two concubines is also gentle and thoughtful, cleaning up or something, and there is never any need to bother.

Regarding reading books at night, in terms of lighting, Mu Tianming is prepared tomorrow morning.

Gu Yun people "pick up the lamp and read at night", this lamp refers to the kerosene lamp.

This thing is also a night lighting tool in this ancient world, after lighting a little bean big light, not only the brightness is low, but also the smoke is big, read a book next to it for a while, and the nostrils are black kerosene.

As for candles, in the current period, they are still a rarity, and ordinary people can only light kerosene lamps at home, which is cheap. Candles are very expensive, and only dignitaries or wealthy families can afford to use them.

If a kerosene lamp is lit overnight, it costs only four or five cents.

Candles, on the other hand, cost seventy or eighty yuan, which is more than the daily income of an ordinary craftsman.

And the candle making process here is not good, there are a lot of impurities, and there is a lot of smoke when burning.

In Mu Tianming's "Portable Space", there are "horse lanterns" and "portable lanterns" purchased from the modern world, which are made with modern craftsmanship and have exquisite glass protective covers on the outside. The fuel used is a mixture of kerosene, diesel and ghee, which is fully burned and can be basically smokeless.

As for the brightness of the lighting, it is brighter than ten ordinary kerosene lamps, and it is no problem to read at night.

In terms of heating, due to the cold weather, the fire wall in the house was used.

Coal is burned in a tunnel outside the house, and the heat is sent through underground pipes to the ground and walls of the house.

To put it simply, this is the ancient "floor heating", but it is coal burning. Moreover, the combustion pit is outside the house, so there is no risk of soot poisoning.

The downside is that someone needs to be in charge of burning coal outside, adding it every hour or two.

These few nights, when Mu Tianming was reading in the study, it was Qiu Fu who was burning coal outside.

This woman is really capable, good-looking, in good shape, with very warped buttocks, and full of energy, serious work, and with a critical eye, she can't find any shortcomings. In contrast, that Shangguan Rou is a lot worse, not to mention delicate and frail, she still likes to sleep lazy, her mouth is still greedy, and the last time she ate ice cream, she begged to eat another one.

That night, it was Shangguan Rou who came to the study to deliver fruit.

Mu Tianming took the opportunity to talk to her, she stood with her head down, her hands twisting a handkerchief, her fingers were white due to too much force, and she looked a little nervous.

Mu Tianming said more heavily, let her do more work.

She said: "It's because I have a sister who was arrested by the main family and locked up in the main house in Yunzhou, and I miss my sister and worry about her safety, so I don't seem to be so reluctant on weekdays, and I don't care so much about things, and I will change it in the future." ”

Mu Tianming hugged her to the desk and gave her a hard lesson.

She was still crying when it was over.

Seeing her crying and crying, Mu Tianming planned to give her a set of diving suits and let her go to the bottom of Qingshan Lake at a depth of 200 meters to pick [Qingshan Lake Xuanzhu]. But then I thought that she was slender and had no strength, and she could not move in a diving suit.

Wait for Shangguan Rou to clean up the floor on the desk in the study before exiting. Before leaving, he stood at the door and said, "Master, I'll go back to the house and wait for you." ”

It seems that the lesson just given is not harsh enough.

The next few days.

Mu Tianming went to the martial arts hall a few times, listened to the martial artist explain the knowledge of martial arts, and took a [Seven Veins Overlord Body Pill].

This elixir is a bestseller, one thousand taels and one piece, and it is best for martial artists to take it when they impact the "innate nature", which can help impact the seven veins and double the width of the meridians throughout the body.

Mu Tianming is rich, plus this [Seven Veins Overlord Pill] was taken from the Shangguan Demon Girl, so he can eat it if he wants.

After eating, the body was like a fire, the severe pain made people breathless, and the body had fine beads of sweat, which lasted for half an hour, and Mu Tianming, who was in pain, almost fainted. It is also not known if the meridians have doubled.

In terms of making money, Mu Tianming did two things.

The first thing: let the Xingling Ancestor's trading house secretly sell illicit salt, take the goods from him, and he took out 1 million packets to sell at one time, and collected 50,000 taels of silver from the Xingling Trading.

Because the salt he purchased from the modern world was calculated by the package, a package sold for 50 yuan, 1 million bags for 50 million yuan, and a total of 50,000 taels of silver.

There are also 30,000 tons of white sugar in the [carry-on space], and here, the price of sugar is expensive, and only those who are wealthy can buy some maltose to taste. White sugar, which is as white as a snowflake, is even more rare. As for the reason, it is because there is no "sugarcane" crop here, so it is naturally impossible to produce cane sugar and white sugar in large quantities.

Mu Tianming's white sugar is a pack of one catty, and he plans to sell it for 500 wen a pack. The 30,000 tons of space is 60 million catties, and I don't understand how much silver can be sold if all of them are sold.

Anyway, he gave 100,000 bags to the Star Spirit Trading House first and charged them 50,000 taels of silver.

The second thing: let the Shangguan Demon Girl go to the big city of the barbarians "Ayangmutu City" to buy grain. Because the Shangguan family took refuge in the barbarians, they could freely enter and leave the barbarian realm.

The 100,000 taels of silver obtained from selling illicit salt and white sugar were used to buy grain.

According to the price of good local rice, 1 tael of silver can buy about 100 catties of rice, and 100,000 taels of silver can buy 10 million catties of grain.

The local units of measurement for bulk commodities are buckets, quintals, and tons. 2000 catties is 1 ton. 10 million catties is 5,000 tons.

These two people happened to work for Mu Tianming, one sold and the other bought.

Mu Tianming's idea is that so many ancient scarce materials in the [Portable Space] should be exchanged for "resources".

This "resource" does not have to be silver and gold. Because if there is a chance to cultivate the truth in the future, then the currency of gold and silver is not the same.

But what this "resource" is at present, Mu Tianming has not yet researched it, and everything that is good for his cultivation and body is good.

It can only be replaced by materials that will be scarce in the world after the super cold wave comes, such as food or coal.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, Mu Tianming wants to do something for the Dali Dynasty.

That's what it is...... Before the super cold wave arrives, buy as much food as you can from the barbarians!

Mu Tianming named this plan the "Bottom of the Cauldron Salary" plan!

Grain and grass are needed to march and fight.

If you buy barbarian grain and grass in large quantities, when the super cold wave comes, the barbarian army will be short of food, and the army will be withdrawn at that time!

Retreating from the army is very beneficial to Mu Tianming!

Here's the benefit...... You can safely worship the "Wensheng Temple" in the territory of the Dali Dynasty to obtain the "Dao Fruit".

The barbarians burned, killed, looted, and captured a dynasty city, which would destroy the "Wensheng Temple" in the city.

Therefore, to keep the land of the Dali Dynasty is to keep the "Wensheng Temple", that is, to keep the "Daoguo".

From this point of view, Mu Tianming is tied to the Dali Dynasty! One is prosperous, and one is lost.

What if you can't get enough grain to threaten the food security of the barbarian army by relying on normal purchases?

Mu Tianming has another trick, that is, "zero yuan purchase".

Grain was considered a super strategic material during the war years, and it may not be possible to purchase it across borders in large quantities, but it doesn't matter, when necessary, Mu Tianming will follow Shangguan Demon Girl into the hinterland of the barbarian army, find the location of the granary, empty the granary for them, and put it all into the [Portable Space], giving them a little golden finger shock.

In February of the seventeenth year of the dynasty, it passed in the cold.

In March, it is supposed to be spring, but the cold weather is still raging.

On the second day of the first month of March.

Mu Tianming connected with the official demon girl.

On this day, it is a major festival of the barbarians - Baturu Festival, Baturu is the meaning of "tiger" in the barbarian language, translated into the language of the Dali Dynasty is "Tiger Festival", the barbarians have a saying called "March 2, the tiger raises its head".

On this day, in the 40 million square kilometers of the barbarian territory, both the military and the people are all on the streets to celebrate, sing and dance around the torches, eat meat and drink wine, and hold all kinds of wrestling, martial arts, horse races and other entertainment competitions.

In order to keep the Wensheng Temple in the territory of the Dali Dynasty, Mu Tianming decided to step out of his comfort zone and be brave once!

Let the Shangguan Demon Girl lead the way, enter the barbarian army camp, and make a zero-yuan purchase!

One of the direct reasons that prompted Mu Tianming to go to the territory of the barbarians to carry out the zero-yuan purchase plan was the battle on the front line a few days ago, and the dynasty army was defeated.

I don't know how many casualties there were, and it didn't come out, but there were four lines of defense outside Qingshan City, and the outermost first line of defense was breached!

You know, these four lines of defense have been firmly defended for more than a year! It has never been breached.

Just a few days ago, the first line of defense was breached!
