Man: "I don't know, why don't I ask?" ”

Lu Xu gave the guy errand money: "It's troublesome." ”

It's a pity that Chen Lian and Wu Gang are not there this time, and He Chengye doesn't seem to be there.

The guy led a small soldier under Wu Gang over, and Lu Xu handed him three jars of good wine, "Hometown specialty, please transfer the trouble to Brother Chen." ”

Little Soldier: "Don't worry! ”

Lu Xu saw that it was difficult for him to walk alone with three jars of wine, so he borrowed a cart from a buddy, and put the three jars of wine into space, and Lu Xu added some meatloaf that he had just bought on the road.

It's noon, and I don't know if this young man can go back to catch up with dinner now.

Lu Xu rested in the city for supplies, and set off early the next morning, heading north along the villages and towns where he had left the Guanyang Alliance flag last time.

The people of Hong County and Yonggu County hesitated to transport all the grain to the county seat as usual after the autumn harvest, but there were intermittent military households heading north on the road, and they were a little hesitant.

Especially those who have started to do business, they are quite reluctant to do this small business.

dragged around, and it was late autumn and didn't enter the city.

A talkative family entertained Lu Xu, and directly took the key to open the neighbor's house, "My father and mother led the child to live in the county, and the neighbor's family also went, there is almost no one in the village at this time, the houses are empty, I will open it for you, you can live more spacious." ”

Lu Xu: "You don't go to the county?" ”

"Go! Wait until it snows! The fields have been cleaned up, and the cat in the county will celebrate the New Year in winter, and then come back when the snow melts in spring. ”

Lu Xu asked, "Is it snowing soon?" ”

"Soon, this year will be later, it should be down at this time in previous years."

Lu Xu was extremely happy.

If they were blocked in Yonggu County by heavy snow, he would have no place to cry.

At night, when they were about to fall asleep, two more military households came to the village.

Their accents are already very different from those in the north, and the villagers in Yonggu County can't understand them at all.

Lu Xu guessed that they were from Lanchuan County.

"Isn't Arashikawa in the south?" Lu Xu remembered hearing the shippers from the south mention that Lanchuan County was going to open to the sea, and it was very southern.

Junhu: "Yes." ”

Lu Xu: "I heard that Lanchuan County is very rich, why did you come all the way to Shuozhou?" ”

Military household: "Our ancestors also fled from the north, lived in Lanchuan for five generations, and were troubled by the locals. ”

Lu Xu: "I see. ”

He wondered again, "The imperial court has moved people from Lanchuan County?" Isn't that the whole of Daki moving people north? ”

The military household smiled: "How can anyone want to come, our Lanchuan government gives the road fee, and no one wants to come!" ”

Come to think of it.

Especially in the rich states and counties in the south, if it is not for the difficulties encountered in the local area and cannot survive, who would want to come to the north to be a military household.

Although the military households do not collect taxes, all the grain must be sold to the barracks, and the life in the camps is not as free as that of ordinary people, and the neighbors are still barbarians.

Others just want to change their lives, and they can choose other counties that are safer.

Population is one of the evaluation criteria for Daqi's political performance, and it is also an important productive force, and there is no place where there will be too many people.

Lu Xu asked the villagers: "Have you borrowed a lot of military households recently?" ”

Villager: "It's not much, I don't know if it's cold, or if it's all over, it's just you and them for the past two days." ”

If Lu Xu hadn't said that he would come back in the fall, they would have wanted to go to the county seat for the winter today.

This time, I was busy with the autumn harvest and busy entertaining the borrowed guests, and I was tired, but I did make money.

If it can be like this next year...... No, even if only half of them passed by, he was willing to continue to do this business.

He discussed with his neighbors, and the two of them worked together, each of them cleaned up two houses, and tried to do it for half a year next year, and if it worked, they added an earthen wall to the yard, and separated the place where they lived and the place where the travelers lived, and there would be no other things in those rooms in the future.

The villagers asked Lu Xu, "Will you come back next year?" ”

Lu Xu: "Come on! Year to come! ”

Villager: "Okay! There's nothing left at home this time, so let's go back, I'll give you a cheap price when you come in the future! ”

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yonggu County, Lu Xu did not delay his efforts, got up early and hurried in the dark, and entered the city in October.

There was a light snow on the sky this day, and it melted as soon as it landed, and such a little snow still made Lu Xu nervous for a while.

He went to leave some money and food for Luo Jiang and Luo Bei, who stayed in Yonggu County to deal with furs, and didn't even look at the newly bought shop, so he went to Qianjiaoling non-stop.

This time, the scenery of Qianjiaoling has changed greatly.

The original green mountains turned yellow and red, the broad-leaved trees began to wither, and only the coniferous pines and cypresses remained.

In summer, the grass is also withered and yellow, and the mountain path is wider than last time.

This time, Lu Qing was still cautious, especially at night, but after passing through Qianjiao Ridge, they did not encounter barbarian herdsmen for two or three days.

Lu Xu didn't know if it was past their grazing season, and by this time they had already driven their cattle and sheep back to the camp for the winter.

On the afternoon of the third day, they encountered a patrol of Daqi cavalry.

There were only ten people in this team, all of whom knew Lu Xu, and they began to shout "Lu Merchants" and "Boss Lu" from afar.

Lu Xu was hurriedly pulling out the Northern Army token, and when he got closer, he didn't know anyone!

Lu Xu carefully flipped through the people in his mind, and he really didn't have an impression, "...... are you?" ”

"We are from the big battalion."

"We bought your stuff last time you came to the camp!"

Lu Xu: "Oh! ”

It's no wonder, on the day he sold the goods, he patronized and had a relationship with Cao to join the army and the grain officer.

The patrolman looked at the convoy that he couldn't count at a glance, and his saliva was about to be released, "Are you going to the big camp?" ”

"Let's send you there!"

Lu Xu: "Don't you need to patrol?" ”

"The patrol is over!"

Lu Xu: "......"

He saw that they had only come from the north, and that there was not much dust on their clothes, and that the horses' hooves were quite clean, so the devil believed that they had finished their patrol.

"Let's go, let's go to the camp first!"

"Joining the army has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Xu: "I want to go to Yishan Village first to see my brother-in-law and their ......"

"Qiu Baihu? We're cooked! Go to the camp and rest, and we'll call for you. ”

"We'll send you there in two days!"

Lu Xu: "......"

The patrolmen scattered around their convoy, leading them in the direction of the camp.

Cao Senjun and Jia Liangguan can say that they met the Guanyang caravan on the way, and they intercepted it back to the camp first without saying a word!

The author has something to say:

Grain Officer: It's all on our territory, can we still let you run?

Chapter 165: Trading

Lu Xu was "kidnapped" by them and taken to the camp, but he was warmly received.

When they entered the camp, from the gate to the camp, the eyes of the soldiers on duty were warm, welcoming, and happy.

That look at him is like looking at a big ingot.

The guards didn't even check before quickly letting them into the camp.

After the baptism of the last time, Lu Xu subconsciously thought that this time the grain officer was thinking about the debt again?

Lu Xu was suddenly a spirit.

This time he could bring 120 wagons of goods, 90 of which were grain.

He was frugal on the road, and he didn't leave much for the tea shed along the way, and now there are eighty carts of original fine grain, from Guanyang to Daying, untouched.

In addition, the ten carts consumed were also replenished with barley, buckwheat and other miscellaneous grains in Qinglong City and Hong County.

He hasn't sent a single car to Qiu Hu and Tan Shishi, so the camp won't be fully deducted, right?

Lu Xu saw the smiling grain officer, his expression was unusually vigilant and creepy. It's like watching a goblin that eats human flesh and sucks human blood.

Unexpectedly, when the grain officer saw him, he seemed to have seen a relative, and as soon as he came up, he grabbed him and asked for warmth, and Lu Xu had goosebumps on the ground, "Brother Lu has worked hard!" After a few months, I missed my brother very much, and I didn't encounter any trouble on the way. ”

Lu Xu said in his heart, who is your brother, "Smooth and smooth, the blessings of Brother Tojia and General Li are all smooth." ”

After that, he still couldn't help complaining, "If you get into trouble, you won't be able to get there now." ”

The grain officer just didn't hear it, and his enthusiasm remained the same: "That's good, that's good."

Then his eyes fell on the convoy with no end in sight, "There must be hundreds of cars, right?" ”

Lu Xu: "One hundred and twenty!" ”

The grain officer lit up: "How many cars are grain?" ”

Lu Xu: "Fifty carts of wheat, thirty carts of rice, ten carts of buckwheat barley and miscellaneous grains." ”

The grain officer's eyes became brighter, and his mouth became even bigger, "Brother Lu is really a trustworthy person!" ”

Lu Xu: "Don't dare to live up to the general's trust, I came at full speed." ”

The grain officer nodded in satisfaction and looked into the convoy, "I see it's all mule carts?" ”
