There are a total of seven soldiers registered in Baoningdun, and there are three female dependents, a total of ten people.

After He Yidou and the three came, Guo Fan and the two came.

There are currently nine people in total.

At this time, everyone gathered in the square, and after seeing Guo Fan, they began to unload the things on the donkey cart.

The guards have issued a notice that each soldier should wear four sets of clothes a year, including one winter suit.

On this northern border, there are five months of bitter winter in a year, and winter clothing is life-saving.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to distribute all these materials, and it is common for ordinary border troops to have a set of winter clothes for three years.

And on these two donkey carts, there are twenty sets of brand new winter clothes!

He Yidou was able to get so many supplies, he should have gone through the door of his uncle He Baihu.

But apparently, even if there were supplies, he did not distribute them.

"Hey...... , it seems that he is not the one who suffers from the cold. ”

Ma Chao pouted and instructed everyone to put the things on the donkey cart in the same order.

In addition to winter clothes, the most common thing here is naturally ordnance.

According to statistics, there are a total of 30 spears, 18 forged steel knives, and three bodies of cotton armor.

There is no armor.

Even if this kind of thing is a hundred households in the army, not everyone has it.

There were also a few other chests with some delicate daily necessities and some silver taels......

"More than a hundred taels!"

Ma Chao first looked ecstatic, and then his face was bitter.

Undoubtedly, this is a lot of money, even in the capital, you can buy a good house.

Here, it's even enough for a family of five to eat and drink for a lifetime!

Now that He Yidou has been robbed of so much silver for no reason, I am afraid that he will not give up even more.

Guo Fan focused his attention on another box.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of golden things from inside, his eyes puzzled.

"This is gold?"

"Lord Hui, this is golden sand, but it is not pure. ”

Among the dun soldiers, one of them bowed his head and explained: "Near Baoning Dun, there used to be a Jinsha River, in which gold could be mined. ”

"The guard sent people to pan for gold, but when they couldn't find it, the river slowly fell into disuse. ”

"And where did this golden sand come from?"

Ma Chao hurriedly asked.

"Although it is deserted, with some care, you can still find some. ”

Dun Bing replied: "When Chief He Wu was here, we spent most of our time panning there for gold. ”

"I could still find some the year before last, but in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer, and I can't get anything this year. ”

"I see. ”

Ma Chao's mind was smart, his eyes turned, and he said: "It seems that He Baihu arranged his relatives here for the purpose of panning for golden sand." ”

"Now there is no gold in the river, and Baoningdun is no longer safe, so He Yidou will go back. ”

It has to be said that his idea is quite logical.

The scattered golden sand is not taken into account by the guard, but it is enough to satisfy the appetite of a hundred households.

"Hmm. ”

Guo Fan nodded and flipped the box in his hand casually.

It is estimated that these golden sands are also privately collected by He Yidou, and in terms of value, they should not be less than more than 100 taels of silver.

Putting down the box, he looked at the soldier.

"What's your name?"

Dun Bing's knees weakened, and he knelt directly to the ground: "Villain Jiang Niu." ”

"Get up. ”

Guo Fan frowned slightly, his face was displeased, and said, "No need to kneel, I'm not used to it." ”

"This ...... Be. ”

Jiang Niu hesitated for a moment before slowly getting up.

"How much more food is left in the mound?"

"Back to my lord. ”

Jiang Niu thought for a moment and said: "The millet is less than ten stones, and there are three buckets of ground beans and a basket of wild vegetables. ”

Ground beans, which are what Guo Fan ate just now, taste a little bitter, but they can fill his stomach.

These things are not a problem to be used as a half-month's ration for the people in the dun in the past.

But now......

I'm afraid it's enough!

"Where's the meat?"

Guo Fan continued to ask.

"Meat ......"

The corners of Jiang Niu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Lord Hui, we usually can't eat meat here." ”

Not only usual, but being able to eat meat once during the New Year is already a gift from Shangguan.

"No meat?"

Guo Fan frowned.

For him to regain his strength, he must have a large amount of food supplements, and meat is indispensable.

Corn alone is not enough!

"Is there any way to get meat?"

"There are two ways. ”

Guo Fan just asked casually, not expecting a response, but he didn't want Jiang Niu to really have an idea.

His eyes lit up at the moment, and he said, "What way?"

"Bought from somewhere else. ”

Jiang Niu lowered his head and said, "Although the border is dangerous, there are still merchants who are willing to take the risk of coming over. ”

"In addition, some of the nearby piers will raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and the like, which can be bought from them for money. ”

"Not bad!"

Guo Fan looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said in an accentuated tone: "Jiang Niu, you are very good!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Jiang Niu lowered his head, so that people couldn't see his expression.

"How long do you think we can afford to spend all this money in our hands?"

Guo Fanchao got silver and golden sand around him.

Jiang Niu was stunned.

Is this adult joking?

If these things are only used for eating and drinking, everyone in the dun is afraid that they will not be able to use them up for a lifetime!

However, thinking of Guo Fan's terrifying appetite, he hesitated a little.

"Yes, it can last a lot of time. ”

"Heh......"

Guo Fan sighed lightly and did not continue to ask.

Based on his estimation from the meal just now, if he could maintain the current progress, it would be enough to restore the strength of Tiger Mountain for about a month or two.

And now that he has internal strength, as long as there is enough time, it is easy to surpass the original strength.

After silently calculating, Guo Fan has already made a decision.

Just stay here for a while until your strength recovers, and then it's not too late to leave!

"Jiang Niu, are you an old man here?"

"Not really. ”

Jiang Niu shook his head: "My brother and I came here last year, and we have been here for less than a year. ”

"Your brother?"

Guo Fan glanced at the young man behind him, and Jiang Niu subconsciously stopped in front of the young man.

Guo Fan smiled, picked up a piece of broken silver and threw it to him: "You also said the method, I will leave the matter of going out to buy to you." ”

"Don't worry, as long as things are done properly, I won't treat you badly!"

It depends on the situation, with his brother here, there is no need to worry about this person smuggling away with money.

"Yes. ”

Jiang Niu didn't know what Guo Fan was thinking, so he nodded yes.

"Ma Chao. ”

"In, in. ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.

"Jiang Niu is in charge of the purchase, and the big and small affairs in the pier will be handed over to you. ”

He looked at Ma Chao and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about He Yidou taking revenge, everything is with me." ”

Guo Fan stood with his hands in his hands, although his voice was flat, he naturally had a convincing majesty.

"Yes. ”

Ma Chao's face stretched, and he bowed down.

"That's good. ”

Guo Fan nodded, and glanced at the armor on the ground: "Send out the clothes and weapons first, one set per person." ”

He didn't keep any of these things.

Even if it is a cotton armor, in fact, his defense is limited, which will affect his flexibility.

It's better to distribute it, so that even if the Beirong people come, the people in the pier can resist one or two.

"Yes. ”

Ma Chao should be.

"Kill the donkey!"

Guo Fan waved his hand and said, "I came to office for the first time today, and I should celebrate, meat, everyone has a share!"

In an instant, the breath of everyone in the field was heavy.

"Also. ”

Guo Fan swept the audience and added another heavy blow.

"Don't worry, as long as you are honest and obedient in the future, and I have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry!"

"I have a share of the meat I bought, and so do you!"

“……”

There was silence in the field.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ma Chao reacted the fastest, immediately roared, and led everyone to their knees.

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the thin bodies of these dun soldiers actually erupted into a loud roar.

The voice trembled slightly.

…………

Time flies.

Unconsciously, a full month has passed since Guo Fan came to Baoningdun.

Morning.

The sky has just cleared.

The people of Boryeongdun have already started to get busy.

Cleaning and cleaning equipment, everyone is full of energy, which is completely different from a month ago.

With plenty of food and meat, these soldiers became stronger.

Especially Jiang Niu's younger brother Jiang Hu, when he was developing, he was looking up in size.

At this time, Guo Fan was standing in the square, his feet moving slowly and stretching his muscles.

His eyes seemed to be squinting, and his ten fingers were slightly arched into a claw shape, obviously moving slowly, but giving people a feeling of full strength.

Especially when his body leaned forward, his spine was moving steadily, like a tiger descending the mountain, making people dare not approach.

"Peng!"

I didn't see how he exerted his strength, but there was just a light under his feet, and a shallow pit immediately appeared on the hard ground.

In the whole process, there were a total of 7749 footprints, and the footprints turned out to be a strange shape.

"Liu Tou!"

Ma Chao finished counting the things in the backyard, walked over with a bitter face, and said, "In the future, I'm afraid we will have to save some time." ”

"How?"

Guo Fan's movements remain unchanged.

"It's been a month, and it stands to reason that the guard should have come twice to deliver grain and grass, but now they haven't come once. ”

Ma Chao sighed and said, "I guess this is what He Yidou did in Wei." ”

Guo Fan was silent.

It's obvious.

"Also. ”

Ma Chao continued: "The last time Jiang Niu went out, he said that the pigs and sheep raised in the nearby pier had been almost bought by us. ”

"After a while, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of meat. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Fan frowned, and finally stopped moving.

"What's the situation with the merchant? Didn't you order a batch of pigs, sheep, and bacon from him last time, and when will he arrive?"

"That's what I'm talking about!"

Ma Chao's voice sank, and he said, "It stands to reason that there should have been merchants coming over the day before yesterday, but there has been no one until now." ”

"If that man doesn't come, we really won't get enough meat for a short time. ”

"Of course. ”

He smiled flatteringly at Guo Fan and said, "The corn grain I bought is enough for us to eat." ”

"No Meat ......"

Guo Fan ignored him, just shook his head lightly: "That's not good." ”

"Your Excellency!"

At this moment, a shout came from the hanging tower above: "Brother Jiang Niu is outside, there seems to be a chasing soldier behind him." ”
