Volume 15: The Winner is King Chapter 1140 Clever Trick to Steal Salt (II)
Being looked at by the craftsman with that kind of adoring gaze, Hu Wei was more or less uncomfortable. Although he said the renewal of these aspects, he did not come up with them. He's stealing other people's wisdom.
But no matter what, the problem of headaches in Hu Wei is finally temporarily solved. Now we need to worry about the specific implementation issues. However, Hu Wei believes that the problem should not be too big.
"Young marshal, you seem to be in a good mood today. When Leng Yuye saw Hu Wei, he immediately showed a smile.
Hu Wei smiled: "Yes, you don't have to make up your mind anymore, come with me, you can see for yourself, and you will understand everything." ”
Hu Wei shook his head helplessly, the cold and rainy nights have changed in the past few days, even if he knows how he wants to get those salts. Hu Wei was really a little afraid of her. You say that this woman's curiosity can be so strong.
The cold rainy night was finally a 'trick', and the smile on his face was like a flower. Busy following behind Hu Wei, this is something she has been thinking about for a few days and has not figured it out.
Thirty or forty mining and tomb robbers are tunnels, which is called a profession. In just a few days, they had dug a direct passage to the salt store, and now they were moving on to the other two. Because the main road has been dug through, the other two forks are relatively easier, and they can all be completed in a few days.
When Hu Wei and the cold rainy night came, the craftsmen were hurrying to install the water pipes, because the iron pipes had already been processed outside, and they came here just to assemble, and the speed was also very fast.
After listening to Cheng Yu's explanation of Hu Wei's plan, Leng Yuye understood all of Hu Wei's plans, but at the same time, she also had a question in her heart.
"Young marshal, wouldn't it be feasible for us to widen the tunnel and use manpower to move it?" asked Leng Yuye.
Hu Wei nodded and said, "Of course it's okay, but it will require more engineering." Let's not say it takes time, look at these dirt ......"
Hu Wei grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it in his hand, handed it to Leng Yuye, and said: "The soil in the imperial capital is loose, and it is very easy to collapse when you open a big tunnel. ”
"I see, you're afraid you're going to expose your target. Leng Yuye nodded.
"Not only that, the efficiency of using water is at least ten times that of manual labor, and we have to consider the treatment of salt when we use people to move it, and now we are directly integrated. ”
Hu Wei's overall idea, at first glance, seems to be nothing remarkable, but carefully analyze it from one aspect to another, you will find that Hu Wei's trick is all about skills from beginning to end, and it really makes the most of all the things that are advantageous.
"Young marshal, it's all complete. The craftsman reported to Hu Wei excitedly.
This time, they not only completed a task that Hu Wei had given them, but also learned a lot of knowledge from them. That's what matters most to them.
Hu Wei didn't know at this time that it was precisely because of his unintentional move that the Tianfeng Continent entered the tap water era in advance. Of course, this is all after the end of the war.
"Let's get started. Hu Wei confidently gave the order.
With the opening of the waterway, the river water was introduced into the salt storehouse, and the three salt stores have been cleverly used by craftsmen to seal the permeable mouth from the inside, and after a while, the three salt stores were filled with water at the same time, and as the water level rose, bags of salt were silently dissolved into the water. By the time the water returned to the river, it had turned into salt water.
It wasn't until this meeting on a cold rainy night that he knew the power of Hu Wei's move. She blushed at the method of employing people to carry salt just now. Because according to Hu Wei's method, he only needs to walk the river in the salt storehouse for a while, and the salt in the salt bank will be gone. It's ten times faster, it's just a god. ...,
"Okay, as long as the demons don't find out for twelve hours, we will be considered successful!"
Hu Wei showed a smug smile. Using your brain to solve a problem is really better than using your fists.
Lin Ma didn't know at this time that his three major warehouses totaled 50,000 catties of salt, which were being lost at a flying speed in silence. By the time he found it, all the three major reservoirs of salt had disappeared into the air, leaving him with nothing more than sacks.
Haematemesis?
If vomiting blood is useful, Lin Ma must have chosen to vomit blood.
solved Lin Ma's 50,000 catties of salt inventory, and Hu Wei's mood was really good. This will turn his head to look at the demons again, and he won't feel how powerful they are.
With the first batch of ordinary people entering the city at dawn, Hu Wei entered the imperial capital. He didn't know how many times he had been to this city, and each time he had a different feeling.
"Momiji, what's the situation? As soon as Hu Wei saw the red leaves, he immediately asked. The reason why he came here was because Hongye received the secret report of the golden phoenix, and 10,000 catties of salt on the market were missing. I don't know who it was, although they took a lot of salt.
10,000 catties is not too much, but for Lin Ma, it is a life-saving quantity. Once he gets it, his troops can hold out for reinforcements. Hu Wei is absolutely not allowed to happen in that situation.
"For details, you still ask Jin Feng, she will be there soon. ”
"Okay, then let's wait for Jin Feng to come over. ”
About ten minutes later, Huang Jinfeng and Yaya also arrived. It's all a family, there's nothing polite, and after seeing the ceremony, Huang Jinfeng immediately told Hu Wei about the information he had at hand.
"After many verifications, it has been found that it was made by the Mu family. ”
"Mu family?" Hu Wei was slightly stunned. This Mu family knows that the old-school family in the imperial capital. However, for so many years, they have been neutral, and I have not heard of any news that they have fallen to the side of the demons, why would they suddenly do this.
Yaya answered: "The Mu family has five thousand private soldiers in their hands, and their combat power is not strong. If you want to hit ......"
"Nope. Hu Wei waved his hand, interrupted Yaya's words, and said: "The imperial capital is now Lin Ma's territory, and once the fight starts, Lin Ma will receive the news immediately." This time, we can't come hard. Let me talk to them!"
"Young marshal, this is dangerous!"
The people present all changed color when they heard Hu Wei's words. The strength of the Mu family is not strong, but now no one dares to guarantee that they are not a demon clan. If they have already fallen to the side of the demons, then this is likely to be a Longtan tiger's den.
Hu Wei smiled: "You are all at ease." Even if it's a Trojan horse, it's okay for me to protect myself. ”
"Daddy, I'll go with you!" Yaya couldn't persuade Hu Wei, so she simply retreated.
"No, I have anything else to give you. Hu Wei touched Yaya's head. I have to admit that this daughter has grown up.
Baihualou. Even the current situation has not affected the business here. The lights are colorful, the laughter is loud, and the singing and dancing are leveling. This is a place where you can forget your troubles.
"Yo, uncle, you haven't been here for a while. The old bustard, whose face was full of powder, pounced when he saw Hu Wei from afar. Look at her bloody mouth, if it weren't for the shrill laughter, you would have thought she was going to bite.
"Mom's eyes are really good, my Lao Li has only been here once, you can remember it. Hu Wei said with a smile. The mother here is not the same as the mother of the red leaves in Yaya's mouth. Because the bustard always likes to call her girl her daughter, the guests who come to play also call the bustard her mother. Mom is here, just a title, nothing else.
"Li Gongzi is really good at laughing, we do this business, relying on this look. Don't say that Li Gongzi, you have been here once, even if you haven't been here, the slave family should know you. ”...,
The old bustard and the old man who forgot his own age, are forty or fifty years old, and they are really no worse than a teenage girl. The pretended sound is not afraid of the people next to him spitting.
Fortunately, Hu Wei is also a person who has been killed for a long time, and this little problem is not difficult for him. Se Mimi took a handful on the old bustard's chest, and laughed and said, "Mom is really good at talking, and this young master has tasted it." ”
When the old bustard withdrew his hand, he already felt something cold on his chest. She was also a veteran, and she didn't even need to take it out to look at it, and she could tell that it was a gold coin just by her chest.
The high-roller who rewarded the gold coins, this old bustard has not never seen it. However, the reward coin after just a few words is rare in the bustard's more than 30 years of experience.
"Thank you for Young Master Li's reward. The slave family will definitely find you two good girls in a while. Does the young marshal like tenderness, or does he like kung fu well?"
The old bustard's face was already smiling like a chrysanthemum, if it weren't for the fear that Hu Wei would not look down on her, she would have wanted to play in person.
Hu Wei tried his best not to let the bustard's face, which had lost more than a pound of powder, touch it, slapped the bustard's big fat buttocks, and said, "Next time, I made an appointment with Mu Sangongzi today." ”
"Yo, it turned out to be a guest of Mu San Gongzi. With the third son of Mu here, I don't have to worry about it. The old bustard was a little disappointed that he couldn't catch this big amount, but he didn't dare to show it. You must know that Mu Mu, the third son of Mu, is a veteran here.
Speaking of this Mu Mu, in other industries, there may not be many people who know him. But in this Fengyue world, there is not a single bustard who does not know him.
Mu Mu was born in the imperial capital Mu family, ranked third, and people with status can call him Mu San, but in the imperial capital, there are not too many people who dare to call him so. The young people of the Mu family, because of their neutral countermeasures, are very unpopular, but they don't have much of a blow. The family's power is neither advancing nor retreating, almost the same as it was ten years ago.
In recent years, the Mu family has been very low-key, but only one Mu Mu is not low-key. Seven years ago, he suddenly entered the Qinglou industry, and it was the kind that was public.
There are not a few major families who have a relationship with Qinglou, but they are basically operating behind the scenes, and there has never been a person like Mu Mu who has come out publicly.
It was precisely because he didn't have it that Mu Mu was so sudden that he became popular all of a sudden. In the past seven years, with the help of his family and his personal strength, he can be regarded as a hegemon-level figure in the Qinglou world. There is almost no one in the Qinglou world who does not know him.
Hu Wei came to find Mu Mu today. Others don't know, Hu Wei knows very well, don't look at Mu Mu's long-term mixed green building, there is no positive shape, in fact, the things of the Mu family have already been handed over to him. Compared to his eldest brother, Mu Mu is the real helmsman.
Hu Wei didn't make an appointment with Mu Mu, but with Hu Wei's identity, he didn't need to make an appointment with Mu Mu. Although the imperial capital is now controlled by the demon people, Mu Mu does not dare to pose in front of Hu Wei.
The old bustard received Hu Wei's gold coins, and knew that Hu Wei was here to find Mu Mu, so he quickly sent someone to lead Hu Wei. She is just a little bustard, selling meat, a person like Mu Mu, she can't afford to offend, Mu Mu's friends, too.
When he came to Mu Mu's room, Hu Wei sent the one who led the way. I didn't knock on the door, I just pushed the door and entered the room. Mu Mu was fighting with a red card when he was suddenly bumped in and startled.
"Third Young Master Mu, I'm so interested. After shaking off Mu Mu's two guards who were about to make a move, Hu Wei sat directly opposite Mu Mu.
"Stand down. Mu Mu hurriedly drank back from the guards who were angry and wanted to pounce. Although he doesn't have much contact with Hu Wei, he knows who Hu Wei is.
"Less...... Brother Hu, why are you here? Mu Mugang wanted to call the young marshal, but when he thought that this could not be called, he hurriedly changed his mouth. ...,
"I'm idle, come and have a little wine, I heard that you are also here, just come and have a look, don't disturb your Yaxing." Hu Wei said slowly.
The moment he entered the door, Hu Wei had already seen clearly, there were two guards in this room, two goddesses, and then Mu Mu. No one else, no danger.
"Don't bother, don't bother, I'm welcome to come in no hurry. Xiaohong, go and pour wine for Brother Hu. Mu Mu patted the woman next to him and said hurriedly.
Xiaohong didn't know who Hu Wei was, but looking at Mu Mu's appearance, she knew that the person in front of her was not something she could afford to offend, and she didn't dare to have any neglect.
"Young Master Hu, your wine. "Xiaohong doesn't dare to call her brother like Mu Mu.
"Good wine. Hu Wei took the wine, sniffed it and said: "Ten years of osmanthus dew, the third young master enjoys it." ”
"Brother Hu, in front of you, I can't afford to be this young master. You can call me San'er or Xiaosan. ”
"Well, I also think it's nice to be called San'er. San'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a good chat today?" Hu Wei was not polite at all. Called San'er, he can afford to call it.
When Mu Mu heard Hu Wei's words, how could he not understand that Hu Wei meant to talk to him alone. I almost didn't think about it, so I drove out all the few around me.
Joke, if Hu Wei really wants to take his life, just these masters, ten times more, will not be able to save him. There is no difference between keeping and not keeping.
After confessing that there was no order, no one was allowed to enter the house, so Mu Mu lowered his voice and asked Hu Wei: "Young marshal, I don't know if you came here today, what is the matter with me?"
Mu Mu is an understanding person, he knows that Hu Wei is coming for him today. It's already here, it's useless to say anything, it's better to inquire clearly, and your heart will be put down.
Mu Mu was not afraid of what Hu Wei would do to him, because he asked himself if there was anything to be sorry for Hu Wei.
"You're also a cheerful person, so I won't beat around the bush. I heard that your Mu family has collected 10,000 catties of salt in the past few days. Hu Wei got straight to the point.
Seeing Mu Mu's hesitation, Hu Wei said in a low voice: "San'er, in front of me, do you still dare to play tricks?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mu Mu really wanted to admit it just now, he was so worried by Hu Wei, he also knew that if Hu Wei didn't have evidence, he wouldn't dare to directly identify it as his.
Mu Mu replied: "The young marshal said yes, my Mu family has indeed collected salt recently. I didn't mean to go against the young marshal, it was all a coincidence, a coincidence. ”
There was suddenly no news of salt sales in the imperial capital, and Mu Mu, a sitting tiger, also knew about it. But he didn't know that this thing was caused by Hu Wei, and he was still guessing who it was before.
"Tell me, what do you want so much salt for?" Hu Wei snorted.
"That, I'm ......" Mu Muyi gritted his teeth and said: "This is a mystery of my family, since you asked, young marshal, I don't dare to hide anything." The reason why the Mu family wants so much salt is because we have a special body nature, and every winter, we must take a bath in salt water, otherwise the skin will crack and be painful. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Hu Wei didn't know much about this before. It is said that salt is dehydrated, and this Mu family actually wants to use salt to retain water. However, Hu Wei believed that Mu Mu did not dare to lie to him. If Mu Mu really wanted to deceive him, then he should also find other more plausible reasons, why bother talking about himself.
"Young marshal, it's true, I don't dare to lie to you. Mu Mu said hurriedly. He didn't know the importance of salt to the demons, he just thought that Hu Wei swept the salt in order to raise the price and fry the salt.
"Well, did you use this batch of salt?"
"Not yet. ”
"Give them to me. Hu Wei said directly: "I will give you the money at the market price." ”
Mu Mu's face changed, and he said, "Young marshal, this can't be done." Without this salt, our Mu family would have a miserable winter. Young marshal, I can assure you that we must use this batch of salt for our own use, and not a single one of them will flow to the market. ”
Hu Wei knew that Mu Mu had misunderstood that he was going to fry salt, but he was not prepared to explain this matter. The operation of collecting salt in various places is still continuing, and Hu Wei is not enough to let the demons react so quickly.
"Give it to me, that's for the good of your Mu family. I'm still in a hurry now, I'm afraid you'll die later. Hu Wei said very seriously.
"Young marshal, you ......" The clay figure also has three points of earthiness, and Mu Mu is also the head of the family, although it is much worse than Hu Wei, but he is also a character in the imperial capital. repeatedly forced him, but let Hu Wei step on it like this, and he was also angry.
"I'm sorry, young marshal, I won't give you this batch of salt. ”
"I advise you to think clearly before answering!" Hu Wei said lightly.
Mu Mu put away his smile and said, "Don't think about it anymore, this is my decision, and it is also the decision of the Mu family." ”
"Oh well. ”
