This letter was written by Cui Shuang to Chen Mo.

The letter explained that with his continuous efforts, Chen Mo was able to buy red copper at a price lower than 40% of the market value per catty.

But the coarse salt had to be solved by Chen Mo himself, and Cui Shuang did not say anything about Yuan Youchun.

"Forty percent lower than the market price, yes, this money is not spent in vain" Chen Mo muttered, thinking that Cui Shuang was okay, at least he could do things with money.

Of course, if Chen Mo knew that Yang Minggui promised to sell it to himself at half the price lower than the market price, after Cui Shuang was greedy for a percent, he wouldn't think so.

Chen Mo called Zhang He and asked Wang Ping to send two scribes, and then led a team of people to Xialin immediately to buy 30,000 catties of red copper.

That's right, Chen Mo was afraid that Yang Minggui would regret it during the period, so he hurriedly bought the red copper back.

30,000 catties of red copper, if you use it well, you can create a thousand pieces of Mingguang armor.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also took a thousand catties of refined salt and thirty bottles of perfume made in the past two days to Jiangnan.

Because it is the first cooperation, the amount cannot be large, after all, if it is swallowed by the other party, the sunk cost is too great.

According to the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce's sixty-four cents, this thousand catties of refined salt, Chen Mo's heart price can recover six hundred yuan.

After all, according to the meaning of the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce, you have to sell it before you can share the money, and the operability in this middle is too great.

Therefore, Chen Mo must have his own price in his heart, which can also be said to be the bottom line, if this bottom line price cannot be recovered by six hundred yuan, then it means that the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce does not want to cooperate with him.

If there are thirty bottles of perfume, the price of Chen Mo's heart is one hundred.

……

On the other side, Qingting County.

As soon as Bai Qi came back, before he could catch his breath, Yuan Youchun called him over and asked impatiently about Xia Lin: "Can Qu Shuai agree to make the decision for me?" ”

Bai Qian shook his head, his face was calm, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Qu Shuai said, He is in charge of this matter, he is at fault first, don't blame Chen Mo, let General Yuan give up on this matter, besides."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Youchun couldn't help frowning slightly, and said angrily: "How can this be, Jinwu is my righteous son, and he can be regarded as Qu Shuai's righteous grandson, how can I stop there." ”

After finishing speaking, he realized that Bai Qian's words were not finished, and he hurriedly asked, "What else?"

"In addition, Qu Shuai has found out that the amount of coarse salt tax paid by the general is wrong, and there is a concealment, far more than 5,000 catties, so the general will be punished from receiving the news, within 10 days, he will pay 10,000 catties of coarse salt tax to Xia Lin, and pay a fine of 55,000 yuan." After finishing speaking, Bai Qi immediately lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Ahh

Sure enough, Yuan Youchun shouted in the next second.

This loud shout, like a flood bell and a big Lu, rolled in the lobby.

The vases, teacups, teapots and other objects placed in the lobby were all shattered in response to the sound.

Bai Qi felt the stinging pain in his eardrums, and hurriedly covered his ears.

How could Yuan Youchun not be angry, not to mention that the benefits were not caught, this trip, and a sum of money had to be put in, his eyes narrowed slightly, exuding coldness, he turned his head to look at Bai Qi, and said: "What the hell is going on, how could Qu Shuai suddenly check our tax amount?" ”

"The subordinates inquired, it was Cui Shuang's complaint, and the news provided by Chen Mo said that there were tens of thousands of catties of coarse salt to buy us, so." Bai Qi whispered.

"Bastard." Yuan Youchun's face was gloomy as water, and he immediately thought of something, and said sharply: "How is the matter with fine salt?" But what benefits did Chen Mo's kid give Cui Shuang, otherwise how could Cui Shuang help that kid get ahead. ”

"It is said that the fine salt is extracted by Chen Mo from coarse salt, and Chen Mo has already told Qu Shuai the method of refining." Bai Yan said.

"I see, a group of rats and moths, it turned out that they had this great benefit, so I let this matter stop."

“……”

Bai Qi didn't know how to answer this.

Yuan Youchun calmed down, paced around the lobby twice, and then said in a low voice: "This matter can't be just settled, this matter is already a big problem, if it is just like that, where to put my face, a stinky boy who has not dried up can ride on my head and." ”

"But Qu Shuai has already given an order, saying that this matter will be stopped, general, you act rashly, if you annoy Qu Shuai, then." Bai Qian frowned, although he also had hatred for Chen Mo, but Qu Shuai had already given the order, and if he made another move, it would be a violation of the order.

Yuan Youchun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't Chen Mo say before that their identities were fake and thieves when they entered the martial arts?" Then let's be thieves. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't the rice outside Pingting County almost ripe? If you take someone with you, you disguise yourself as a thief and harvest it first at night, so that you can take a bad breath and make up for our losses, and the other party will not be able to catch us. Yuan Youchun said.

"No."

Until nightfall, the moon rises in the middle of the sky.

Bai Qi was dressed in black, with a black cloth on his face, taking advantage of the night, with more than 200 people, sneaked out of Qingting County, and even the weapon he carried became a firewood knife, which can be used as a weapon and a sickle to harvest rice.

"Commander Bai, if we go to Pingting County this time, will it not be enough to bring only such a few people?" One of his subordinates said.

"We just take advantage of the night to harvest rice, not to fight, there are too many people and too much movement, you just follow orders and do things, what so much nonsense."

“……”

A group of people took advantage of the night to come to the territory of Pingting County, passing by the Dadong Lake in the area under the jurisdiction of Pingting County, a man who was squatting under the dam poked his head out, and by the moonlight, he saw many sneaky figures walking towards Liucun.

The man's name is Zhang Fusheng, and he is still a brave guard, and he is not on duty tonight, so he took advantage of the rest time to go out for night fishing.

Not only him, but many Shen Yongwei like night fishing, because it is easier to load goods at night, and they can also touch yellow eels and catch field frogs in the field.

If you are lucky, you can earn back a month's worth of income after a night's harvest.

However, with the increasing number of night fishers, the harvest is naturally less and less, and now, there are many fewer night fishers than in May.

Out of the sensitivity of his identity, Zhang Fusheng recognized at a glance that these sneaky people must not be good people, so he immediately squatted by the lake, scrubbed his buttocks a few times, put on his pants, and ran towards the village.

As a native of Pingting County, he is very familiar with the local terrain, and even if he runs with his eyes closed, he will not fall.

Soon, Zhang Fusheng surpassed Bai Qi's group.

……

The harvest is imminent, and Shen Yongwei has set up sentry posts in Liucun, Xiaogao Village, and Wangjiazhuang, and arranged patrols.

However, the area of several villages is too large, and all the Shen Yongwei are scattered, and there are places where the photos cannot be seen, and the Shen Yongwei also has to change shifts and rest, so it is impossible to stay up all night, so there are fewer people.

Liucun is actually not big, but it has a lot of fields, and before that, these fields were all owned by the lords in the city, and they were only recently divided into households.

At the entrance of Liucun Village, Su Qi, who led the team on duty, told everyone a meat joke that he didn't know where he heard it.

What is the next door in a certain county, which member picks up ashes, and the concubine of the rich businessman Xinna has an affair with her son.

These things are true and false, but everyone likes to listen to them and listen to them with relish.

What's more, it's a pillar of optimus.

At this point, the topic is completely crooked.

What kind of night pick eight women, King Kong does not fall, all come.

At that moment, there was a sound from the sentry in front of me.

"Password."

"Fifth Brother Li, it's me."

"Password."

"Odd and even don't change."

"Symbols look at quadrants. The password is correct, let's go. ”

“.”

Hearing the voice, Su Qi and the others, who were talking about the woman, suddenly quieted down and hurriedly walked over.

The training of Shen Yongwei during this period of time has been quite effective, although it has not reached the level of the Qingzhou Army, but it is also much stronger than the previous garrison, and the things encountered are absolutely not ambiguous.

"Zhang Fusheng, why are you, didn't you go night fishing, why did you come back empty-handed?"

Between the gods and guards, they all know each other, Su Qi said with a smile.

"Captain Su, something happened, when I was fishing at night just now, I found a lot of sneaky people coming towards Liucun, and I took the path and rushed back first." Zhang Fusheng hurriedly told Su Qi what he saw.

Su Qi, as the squadron leader, knew about the conflict between the county magistrate and Yuan Youchun, and when he heard Zhang Fusheng's words, he immediately thought that the other party had launched a night attack.

"It's not good, prepare for war. Zhang Fusheng, you hurry up and go to Xiaogao Village and Wangjiazhuang to inform Captain Hu that they come over to support, and then you go back to the county seat, tonight Chen Xianshi is in the cottage, go back to the cottage and tell Chen Xianshi. Su Qi immediately ordered.

"No."

When Hu Qiang and Han Wu arrived with their Shen Yongwei, the fire in Liucun had been extinguished, and Su Qi and his team were ambushed in the dark, waiting for the thieves to attack.

However, when Hu Qiang and Han Wu both came over and didn't see the enemy yet, Su Qi realized that something was wrong.

It is unlikely that Zhang Fusheng lied about the enemy's situation, so it is

"Rice."

Su Qi, Hu Qiang, and Han Wu glanced at each other, and they all thought of going together, and immediately hurriedly led people towards the field.

Bai Qi's side.

After seeing the field, Bai Qi did not cut it immediately, but led people to the field halfway up the mountainside, which was quiet and quiet, there was no one in the four fields, and there was still a road far from the village, buried in the field, even if the piece was cut, no one would find it.

"Title." Bai Qi ordered.

Two hundred Tiger Jie soldiers took out a small wooden stick and put it in their mouths, so that there would not be a sound at all.

"Cut." Bai Qi said again.

Everyone poured into the field, their bodies were swift, their hands were up and down, and the Hujie army was all from farmers, and they were very good at doing farm work.

In just a few moments, several acres of fields were harvested, ears of rice were bundled, and they were put on donkey carts.

At this moment, a fire lit up not far away.

"Goo-goo-goo"

Then the bamboo whistle was blown and a burst of screams like night owls were made.

"There are thieves stealing rice, kill it!"

"Don't let them go, kill them all."

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing also sounded, and the silence under the night sky was completely broken.
