Chapter 146: Asking for Debts

Why don't you say that all of Daqi are your relatives?

Everyone was silently slandering in their hearts, thinking that they were shaking this wit with King Cao Yan, isn't this looking for trouble?

Sure enough, when Cao Senjun heard him say this, he said, "Are they all your relatives?" If that is the case, you are not allowed to take money for the food you give them. ”

Qiu Hu was about to speak for Lu Xu, but Lu Xu had already said first: "Of course, but if they have to give me some special products, I will accept them." ”

Cao Senjun laughed, "Aren't you afraid that your relatives only need your food and don't give you special products?" ”

Lu Xu: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the exchange of gifts is all voluntary, how can there be any reason to force it." ”

Qiu Hu: "Your Excellency......"

Cao Senjun waved his hand, and he was in a very good mood, "That's it, since you are righteous and the official fulfills your righteousness, you can sell it here, I will give you half an hour, and all the remaining grain after half an hour will be transported to the camp." ”

Lu Xu: "Thank you, sir. ”

Cao Senjun: "Wait. ”

He looked at the wine cart that had already been sold, "Wine is also food." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

Zhang Baihu et al.: "......"

A bolt from the blue!! Why didn't you buy two jars of wine first?

Lu Xu: "...... Good. ”

Lu Xu scolded thanks to the fact that he and Tan Shishi had stolen a lot of wine last night, and he was busy shouting that Tan Shishi's other stalls should be suspended first and hurry up to sell food.

The wine they bought hurriedly hid the wine jar behind them and under their clothes, and quickly slipped away while Cao was not paying attention to the army.

Zhang Baihu was trying to secretly find someone to call the Zhangjiatun military household to come quickly, but Cao joined the army and ordered them to fence off the school field, and those who were not in the school field at this time were not allowed to go in to buy food and wine.

Zhang Baihu: "......"

Those who came from elsewhere to put their things home were dumbfounded.

Zhang Baihu looked into the crowd and saw that there were still many people from their village, and he was secretly happy.

Thanks to his cleverness, he not only asked Lu Xu to set up the stall in the school field, but also notified the people in the village to bring more money last night and come over early to grab things.

He stiffened his face and put on an iron-faced and selfless posture, "You guys, go over there, and follow me for the rest!" ”

He took the lead in leading the soldiers to surround the school field, and as soon as he ran out of Cao Senjun's sight, he turned his head and hid behind the crooked neck tree on the side of the school field.

Zhang Baihu took out his money bag and whistled into the school yard, and after a while, his son squeezed out of the crowd.

He secretly beckoned to his son: "Dabao, here, give the money to your aunt and grandfather, buy more!" ”

Zhang Dabao took the money bag and whispered like a thief: "Dad, I want to buy candy!" ”

Zhang Baihu: "Buy grain first!" After buying the food, Daddy will go home and get you the money. ”

Zhang Dabao said happily: "Talking counts!" ”

Zhang Baihu: "Calculate, go, hey, hey, wait!" Tell your mother to buy wine! Wine! ”

Zhang Dabao hummed and ran away.

When others saw this, they also secretly handed money inside.

Calling children, relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances, for a while, the crooked-necked tree was crowded and hurried.

Cao joins the army: "......"

When is he blind?

His subordinates hurriedly asked, "My lord, do you want ......?" ”

Cao joined the army: "No, how long is it?" ”

Subordinate: "Two more moments." ”

For two moments, it was too late to go home and get the money if it was far away.

Half an hour passed, and Cao's subordinates took over the grain truck.

Lu Xu didn't go too far, and sold one-third of the grain, many of which were coarse grains.

However, more than half of these one-third are people who are looking for by Tan Shishi, who first resists the grain back to the grocery store, and then quietly sells it when he goes back.

Cao Senjun saw it in his eyes, and didn't say much, let the grain be transported away, and invited Lu Xu to the camp to sell daily necessities and groceries.

Lu Xu: "It must arrive!" ”

Cao joined the army: "Qiu Hu, tomorrow you will send someone to escort them." ”

Qiu Hu: "Yes! ”

After Cao joined the army and left with people and food, Lu Xu grabbed Qiu Hu and asked worriedly: "Brother Hu, you who joined the army, you won't pay the bills, right?" ”

Qiu Hu: "...... No. ”

Zhang Baihu said: "That's hard to say. ”

His wife, father and son fought hard inside, not only grabbed rice and flour grains, but also grabbed three jars of wine, relying on being familiar with Qiu Hu, the wine was all on credit, get home first, and then slowly repay the money when you turn back.

At this time, he got all the food home, and gave his son twenty yuan pocket money for him to buy candy to eat, and his wife and his mother returned to the school to buy goods happily.

Zhang Baihu was satisfied, walked around the school yard, teased a few friends who didn't buy anything, and then walked back to tease Lu Xu: "Our northern army is notoriously poor, I don't think you can get any money." ”

Lu Xu wasn't scared at all, he was quite happy when he heard that they had no money.

"There's no money, so are there sheep? Fur is fine, you must have stocked up on a lot of loot in such a big barracks, right? ”

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, "I heard that there are still a lot of cattle in the military camp that carry grain and grass that have not been sold, and you owe me a debt when you join the army, I don't want money for cattle and sheep, can he count me cheaper?" ”

Zhang Baihu: "......? ”

He asked Qiu Hu in shock: "Brother, how did you two know each other and how did you get married?" ”

This kid and Qiu Hu are not all the way at all, right?!

Zhang Baihu thought that Lu Xu was just talking nonsense, and he was addicted to it, but he didn't want him to be really bold and resolute, so he repacked the goods early the next morning, and looked for Qiu Hu to lead the way to the camp non-stop.

Not only that, but he also gave all the money he earned yesterday to Tan Shishi, and asked Tan Shishi to bring the money and some goods to the barbarians to buy sheep for exchange.

Lu Xu sat on the military horse he was thinking about: "Brother Zhang, when I come back to you for a drink, let's go first!" ”

Zhang Baihu: "......"

He really wanted to go to the camp to see Cao Senjun's expression, but unfortunately Qiu Hu was gone, and he had to stay to patrol the camp.

The camp is two days away from Qiu Hu's camp, if it is a fast horse, it can be reached in half a day, Lu Xu's caravan is mainly manpower, and there are patrolling soldiers on this official road from time to time, safe and worry-free, so he seeks stability and does not seek speed, and spends two days walking slowly.

The land here is vast and flat, the altitude is also low, the vegetation is more abundant than the grassland that Lu Xu imagined, and the wild grass is vigorous in the deep summer, and some tall wild grasses can grow to more than a meter high.

But according to Qiu Hu, it will snow here as late as October, and if the weather is bad, it may start snowing in September.

So they were worried about the crops in the field.

"It's cold here, and the crops grow slower than Guanyang." Qiu Hu rode parallel to him, and from time to time he wanted to see if Lu Xu was sitting in the right position, and whether there was any danger of falling off the horse.

Lu Xu: "I see that the people of Hongxian and Yonggu all grow barley, buckwheat, wheat, beans and so on. ”

"I also planted, these are cold-resistant, but the yield is low." Qiu Hu was worried, "It's still hard to have a good time this winter, but fortunately you brought food over." ”

Lu Xu sighed: "That little bit of food is not enough to eat, right?" ”

He originally planned to give all the food to Qiu Hu and them, but the plan could not catch up with the change, first left twenty cars in Dengzhou, and then Datou was pulled to the camp by Cao Shenjun, they consumed a lot on the way, and left food all the way to the tea shed, although he made up buckwheat, wheat, and beans elsewhere, but it was still a lot less than when he set off.

Qiu Hu: "It's okay, dry more wild vegetables, make some jerky, don't go out much in winter, and don't have to eat staple food." ”

Lu Xu was silent, he asked a few children yesterday what they usually eat, and learned that they usually eat wild vegetable soup, not even a mixed noodle steamed bun, and most of the hunting meat is also made into salted meat and dried meat to be stored in case there is no food in winter.

Lu Xu said: "After selling it today, I will go back if I get cattle and sheep." ”

Qiu Hu was surprised: "So fast? "He also wants to take Lu Xu to the barbarians to have a look, and take him to hunt near Qianjiao Ridge.

Lu Xu: "Well, go back early, and then bring the grain." ”

Qiu Hu: "Come again?" ”

Lu Xu: "I originally planned to come again, but now I will go back in time, just in time to harvest the autumn grain, walk quickly on the road, and I should be able to send it before the snow." When it's cold, I can open a shop and sell mutton. ”

The food he left behind may be enough for Yishan Village to eat, but with Qiu Hu's temper, he will definitely not eat enough to watch others starve. Even if Qiu Hu is ruthless, only their village has food, and others see that even if they dare not do anything because of the military might, they will inevitably be excluded in the future. When the time comes, Qiu Hu and them are afraid that they will also be targeted in the military camp.

Lu Xu didn't want to see that kind of situation.

What he wants to see is that Qiu Hu can show his ambitions in the army, and the villagers of Yishan Village live and work in peace and contentment in the north, and will never regret going down the mountain with Qiu Hu.

Lu Xu said with a smile: "In the future, when everyone grows crops and grows experience, the trade route will almost be smooth, and then I won't bring so much food, I will come a few more times a year, and bring my younger brothers and sisters to escape the summer in the summer!" ”

Qiu Hu smiled and sighed.

In my heart, I felt sorry for Lu Xu.

"My brother-in-law didn't do well, at least he should entertain you for a few more days."

Lu Xu didn't care: "Then let's see each other, we're sworn brothers!" ”

When he arrived at the camp, Lu Xu swept away his melancholy and ran energetically to find Cao to join the army to ask for an account.

Cao Shenjun really couldn't come up with the money, and was blocked by Lu Xu, but he didn't panic at all, obviously he was ready to deal with it, as soon as Lu Xu asked for money, he said calmly: "I haven't paid my salary yet, I don't have money for the time being, I'll give it to you when I get paid." ”

The accompanying grain officer said with a smile: "This is our practice, I don't believe you ask everywhere, and you will pay and then settle the bill." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

Lu Xu pretended to be shocked and injured, and shouted helplessly, dazedly, and miserably at Cao Shenjun: "My lord, I trusted you to let you transport so much grain without saying a word!" I don't even ask for a deposit! My net worth and life have been brought to you! ”

He was at a loss for words, and said anxiously: "You, you, why are you like this!?" ”

Cao joined the army and didn't react, and sang to the end with a black face.

The grain official's face turned red: "The court has paid you, and I will definitely give it to you first." ”

Lu Xu said: "Then when will I be paid?" ”

Food Officer: "Uh...... This ......"

Cao joined the army: "How do we know about the affairs of the imperial court, we will give it to you in a few days." ”
