Chapter 174: Chen Cha

When he saw Zhang Biao in the Xiaocai military camp, Lu Xu was a little lucky, thanks to the fact that he had three big meat buns. Zhang Piao's clear soup here is low water, two coarse grain steamed buns, a bowl of wild vegetable soup, one meat, one vegetarian and two dishes, the vegetarian is cabbage stewed tofu, and there are a few slices of meat in the meat, which is made of a big pot of rice in the military camp at a glance, Lu Xu guessed that there is no difference between him and the ordinary soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army, and the only special treatment is probably those slices of meat.

Zhang Biao didn't know that he would come hungry, and he hadn't prepared his meal before, but when he arrived, he generously invited Lu Xu to eat together.

Lu Xu hurriedly refused, just such a little thing, he will divide Zhang Yu in half?

Will the Xiao Cavalry think that he wants to starve their Lord Zhang to death?

Zhang Piao: "But you can't get used to eating these?" Whatever you like to eat, I'll ask them to cook it for you, we have a small kitchen in the General's Mansion. ”

Lu Xuwaner.

Zhang Biao eats a big pot of rice, and he eats a small kitchen?

Lu Xu guessed that the small kitchen of the General's Mansion was probably similar to the good tea in the mouths of the soldiers who invited him to drink tea, and it was specially reserved for entertaining guests.

Lu Xu thought that he was a small businessman of ordinary people and was not a distinguished guest, and he was not worthy of the small kitchen of the General's Mansion.

However, he really didn't expect Zhang Biao to eat so plainly. The Northern Army, which is under difficult conditions, can still put a table of meat on his shoulders.

Lu Xu: "Before I came, I gnawed on three big meat buns, and I wasn't hungry at all, but I was a little thirsty, and I didn't know if I could ask Master Zhang for a bowl of water." ”

Zhang Xiao smiled and asked someone to prepare tea.

When the tea was served, Lu Xu was not polite, and the cow drank three cups with a bang.

He was really thirsty.

I didn't drink any water for a day, and I chewed three big buns dryly, and I almost choked to death.

Zhang Piao finished his meal quickly and elegantly, asked someone to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and drank tea with Lu Xu, "How about this tea?" ”

Lu Xu: "Uh...... It should be good tea, but the villain was born in the late winter, and he has never drunk any good tea, so he can't taste it, and he wastes the adult's tea. ”

Zhang Xiao smiled: "How can it be considered a waste when you drink it in your stomach?" ”

He pointed to the teapot, "This is the good tea I sent you in exchange for the general, speaking of which, in terms of grade, it is not as good as the tea you sent, but this is brought from Beijing by the general before coming to Shuozhou, and the general is not willing to drink it in addition to hospitality." ”

Although he understood that Zhang Biao was expressing his attention to him, and seemed to be telling him that he had already put a number in the ears of General Xiaocai, Lu Xu's first reaction was: Chen Cha!

How many years has Zhang Chang been in Shuozhou, can this tea still be drunk?

He was too puzzled, he didn't control his expression for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly put away his disgust, and said uncontrollably: "The tea that the general brought from Beijing is naturally incomparable to ordinary tea, this tea, it is stained with the nobility of Beijing, the general's ambition, and it ...... to drink."

Zhang Biao continued: "A taste of old tea? ”

"Uh......"

Lu Xu said in his heart, this is what you said, I didn't say anything!

Zhang Biao smiled and refilled another cup of tea, not disgusted that this was old tea, Lu Xu also poured a cup and drank it slowly.

Before, he was thirsty and drank too fast, and he didn't taste it well, but now he tastes it, and it's really old tea, and it's not light!

But I'm afraid that the whole Shuozhou will dislike this tea is not good, and there are few people.

Lu Xu expressed his flattery, but with his previous performance as a foreshadowing, he said that no matter how much he was, he was like a sycophant in fear of the power of the general's mansion.

After saying two sentences, Lu Xu himself felt quite bored, so he simply stopped talking.

Zhang Biao looked like a real person, and he also said something real: "There are still some high-quality teas in my shop that are not sold, or I will have someone send them." ”

Don't entertain people with Chen tea, others say it's an honor, who knows if they will laugh at their general's mansion for treating guests with Chen tea, stingy.

Zhang Biao laughed, "Forget about tea, I can't drink much every year, and if I don't have it, let the general pay for it himself, and what I need is food at the moment." ”

Zhang Biao asked: "I heard that today's customer flow in your store is endless, and you have sold thousands of taels of goods in just one day?" ”

Lu Xu was surprised, he didn't even count how much money he sold, how did Zhang Yu know?

Isn't it possible to send someone to keep an eye on him?

Lu Xu said honestly: "The details haven't been counted yet, but it should be more than one thousand taels." ”

A children's cashmere suit and hat is more than ten taels, and today he sold several sets.

There are also embroidery scrolls that he quoted at sky-high prices, and many people buy them.

In addition, there are silk cloths, some people buy them in pieces, I don't know whether they are purchased by large families, or the garment shops in the city choose materials.

Just count these large pieces, and they all cost a thousand taels.

Lu Xu knew that Qinglong City was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.

After more than ten years of fighting, the rich people have not been beaten poor, and it is worthy of being the first city in Shuobei, and it is worthy of being the entrenched place of the great family in the mouth of the inn guys.

He is also familiar with Shuozhou after these trips, even if he ties up all the small counties along the way such as Dengzhou, Yonggu County, Hongxian County, etc., he can't reach half of Qinglong City's wealth.

Lu Xu didn't know if this was normal, but compared with Longxing County, the gap between the capital of Longxing County and other counties was far less exaggerated than that between Qinglong City and other counties in Shuozhou.

Lu Xu said: "But in the first few days of the opening, everyone has fresh pictures, cheap pictures, and there are also picture giveaways, which will always be more lively, and it will tend to be normal in the future." Lu Xu estimated based on his experience in Guanyang, "But it shouldn't be difficult to sell a thousand taels a month." ”

With such a big Qinglong City, not counting those behemoths with a lot of wealth, ordinary people consume a lot every day.

In particular, the people of Shuozhou are accustomed to living in the city during the slack time, and when it comes to the New Year's Festival, the city is overcrowded.

This sounds like it makes the businessmen excited, consumption power, this is all consumption power!

He wants to go back quickly, and send two more trips before the New Year, the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are all good seasons to make money!

Seeing that he said so confidently, Zhang Biao asked with a smile: "Then my dividends should be enough to buy food." ”

Lu Xu: "Naturally, it's enough!" You don't know about the grain, I asked Xue Liangguan before and asked him if he wanted it, but Xue Liangguan didn't want it, so I sold it in the shop. ”

Lu Xu took the opportunity to sue Xue Liangguan, "I came to find an adult this time, just to ask you, do you have to exchange this year's dividends for grain?" ”

He had a few cars left, and threw them into the Xiaocai military camp, a drop in the bucket, if Zhang Biao still wanted it, he would have to plan the caravan configuration next year when he went back.

Zhang Piao: "Let's change it to grain for the past three years." ”

Lu Xu smiled bitterly: "Okay." ”

It is too difficult to transport grain by land, it is already the limit that he can transport so much, and no matter how much Guanyang's livestock and animal power are not enough, relying on manpower to transport it is tiring, slow, and too hard.

When he took the first trip, he mainly relied on manpower, light goods, only one or two people in a car, and four to five people in the grain truck.

Even so, on the first trip back, many people are reluctant to come back.

If Shuozhou no longer lacks grain, in addition to the grain itself, it also needs to be supported by transportation capacity, but the entire Daqi is short of cattle and horses.

Lu Xu can't help but miss trains and trucks, or how to say that science and technology are the primary productive forces?

He is a scumbag, and he doesn't have the dream of innovating productivity, but he still wants to be practical and ask Zhang Biao if he can solve the problem of livestock for him.

He doesn't want to be a horse, a cow, a mule, a donkey, or something, it has to be a little, right? They are such a big cavalry army, and they can't rely on manpower to transport grain and grass when they are fighting!

Zhang Biao thought about it and brought in the grain officer and the quartermaster.

After all, he is no longer in the army, and he has rarely asked about these, and he doesn't know if there is any idle animal power in the army now.

The grain officer and the quartermaster officer are embarrassed, their cavalry is the Shuozhou garrison, even if they have it, they can't lend it to Lu Xu, a Longxing person, across the county, isn't this nothing to trouble the general and find a ginseng?

Lu Xu listened to it for a while, and couldn't help but wonder, why did the Xiao Cavalry Army sound more afraid of being read by ginseng than the Northern Army?

Didn't you say that General Daqi, only Li Xiu himself didn't have a backstage?

Could it be that Zhang Chang's backstage is not hard enough?

Lu Xu really wanted livestock power, and after riding a mule cart once, he no longer wanted to cross the two counties on his feet.

Lu Xu asked with a bitter face: "Isn't it okay to idle livestock?" I'm transporting food for the cavalry, not for personal gain? The northern army also borrowed twenty of my oxen. ”

Everyone dares to have a northern army, what's going on with you cavalry troops?

Zhang Piao, the food officer, and the quartermaster officer all had a trace of embarrassment.

Of course the northern army dares, the northern army is far away from the emperor in the north of Qianjiaoling, and no one is staring at them every day, and they will go to the court to join them at every turn, and it is almost the same to say that it is the emperor of the soil.

They are not the same cavalry.

When Zhang Chang was in danger, Qinglong City saw that it was about to be broken, and in order to win the battle, he forcibly expropriated and extorted violently, and offended everyone in Qinglong City.

It's okay to say in wartime, they can't bear it if they don't want to, they can only twist their noses and endure it, whoever dares to say a word, Zhang Chang dares to throw their whole family to the front line.

However, the wealthy families of Qinglong City have been suffering for a long time, and now that the barbarians have run away and the world is peaceful, they have also begun to fight back against the Xiao cavalry.

Those who have connections are looking for relationships, those who have a way to go to the door, and those who don't have them will pool money and stuff money, and find people in Beijing every once in a while to participate in the cavalry army and Zhang Chang, and strive to get this ancestor away as soon as possible, and replace it with a moderate like the former general Xin Xinghuai.

They hated Zhang Chang, and Zhang Chang hated them.

The two brothers came to Qinglong City at the beginning of that year, and Zhang Biao had a higher military rank than Zhang Chang, and was personally recommended by the general to join the army.

If it weren't for Xin Xinghuai, who was a fool who colluded with local families to be corrupt and take bribes, and was at the mercy of the Qinglong City family, he should not attack, he should not defend, and he would delay the military aircraft, how could he have killed his own soldiers almost completely, and his brother almost lost his life, and his future was ruined.

Zhang Chang still hates Xin Xinghuai very much, if he hadn't died on the battlefield and didn't come back, Zhang Chang would have wanted to slaughter that stupid pig himself to vent his anger.

Xin Xinghuai died, and Zhang Chang transferred his hatred to the heads of these families in Qinglong City, they participated in Zhang Chang, and Zhang Chang also repaired them.

They wanted to replace Zhang Chang, and Zhang Chang also wanted to replace the county guard who was close to them.

The secret fight on both sides finally escalated to a bright fight, and even the county guard was involved, and the mutual reference book snowflakes were handed to the capital, and it was a lot of trouble.

Seeing that they were all fighting to the appointment of a county guard, the imperial court was furious - who had the final say in Shuozhou in Daqi?

The emperor was furious, and in the end, the general came forward and demanded that Zhang Chang be severely punished as a warning, but he was loyal to the monarch for generations in his family, and he had meritorious service in protecting the city, so he only punished Zhang Chang for half a year as a punishment, and sent an overseer to Shuozhou in a high-profile manner.

He Chengye, the overseer, was beating Zhang Chang on the surface, but in fact he was supporting Zhang Chang.

After all, He Chengye came in the name of supervising the northward migration of military households, he was not only trusted by the emperor, but also the son-in-law of the general, and he and the two brothers Zhang Chang knew each other in their early years. It is basically telling the big and small forces in Qinglong City that they are making waves, and there are people in the Zhang family brothers in the court.

Chapter 175: It's All Done!

After such a commotion, the two sides were afraid of each other, and they each settled down a lot.

Zhang Chang can no longer be his overlord like before, he will be recruited if he wants to, he will rob if he wants to, and he will not dare to make trouble anymore.

He Chengye told him privately that His Majesty meant that if the court received another copy of his excerpts, Zhang Chang would pack up his things and get out of the house as soon as possible.

A few of the Qinglong City couldn't hit hard, and they only dared to stare at Zhang Chang secretly and make mistakes.
