Chapter 33: BMW for Food!
Liu Lang's brows suddenly furrowed.
I didn't expect him to say it so clearly, Xu Changqing actually came to drill this bull's horn!
However, he also understood Xu Changqing's temperament a little at this time, once this kid recognized something, it was really difficult for others to persuade him.
I had to say: "Brother, don't worry about the formalities, I can make up for you, brother." But if you want to take them away tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult. How many steps can they walk? ”
“……”
Xu Changqing fell into a deep silence for a while!
At this time, he only had less than fifty taels of silver on him, which was enough for a camp of two or three hundred households and more than a thousand people, which must be a drop in the bucket, not to mention, the grain and rice store had already closed at this time, and it was difficult to make food with silver.
Xu Changqing looked around for a while, and he had already made a decision in his heart, and said to Liu Lang with a smile: "Old brother, what do you think of my black lion?" ”
"Huh?"
Liu Lang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the black horse not far from Xu Changqing's side, which was being led by his relatives.
This is the mount of the old Tartar Muzi, much better than the mount with the blue flag and white armor, not only tall and strong, but also the hair is as black as satin, very miraculous.
This is definitely a good horse!
"Brother, you, are you trying to ......"
Liu Lang had already understood what Xu Changqing meant, but he was a little undecided for a while, after all, he didn't know what price Xu Changqing would ask.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Old brother, our brothers, that is closer than flesh and blood, how can a younger brother pit his brother." So, old brother, I give you this horse. I just ask my brother to allocate some food for me from the baggage camp, and I can send it now. The affection between our brothers will last a long time in the future! ”
How could Liu Lang not understand Xu Changqing's thoughts at this time, this was to give him this black BMW for nothing.
If this black BMW is put on the market, it will be in this condition, let alone five hundred taels, I'm afraid even if it is one thousand taels, it is normal.
If it is changed to Guannai, I'm afraid, two thousand, two or three thousand taels may not be impossible!
Xu Changqing, this black boy, is really good enough......
After thinking for a moment, Liu Lang stopped squirming, "Okay!" Brother, you can afford to look up to my brother, and I will be willful too! However, you are my brother, and I have to advise you as an elder brother, it is right for people to have good intentions, but you can't come with kindness in everything. It's hard to go far if you do this. ”
Xu Changqing smiled one by one, accepting Liu Lang's already sincere suggestions.
…
Xu Changqing and Liu Lang reached a compromise, and these pig-like craftsmen naturally became Xu Changqing's bag.
Soon, Liu Lang brought a lot of food, and called for his own soldiers to help, prop up a big pot to boil porridge, and first raise the bodies of these craftsmen and their families.
For the common people, the most nourishing thing is millet and eggs.
But at this time, Xu Changqing really can't take out the eggs, so it can only be these millet porridge.
After receiving such a great gift from Xu Changqing, Liu Lang also worked very hard tonight, constantly preaching to these craftsmen how righteous Xu Changqing is, and how righteous he is.
It was also made that these craftsmen were grateful to Dade, knelt down one by one, and kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately.
Looking at these excited but yellow-muscled faces, Xu Changqing's heart was full of flavors for a while.
In Daming, the species of craftsmen, this profession, is really miserable to an indescribable degree.
In a way, they are really harder than the lowliest of prostitutes.
Even if the prostitutes are slaves and women are prostitutes, they are extremely low, but to put it bluntly, they are still the playthings of the rich after all, and at least they can still get some protection for eating and drinking.
But the craftsmen not only have to undertake many large-scale engineering works, but also have to bear the quality problems, which are often killed and buried, and the descendants can never be changed!
The key is a lot of things, can these bitter craftsmen do the master?
No wonder it's still the official lord above!
This makes this a vicious circle that can no longer be bad, and it is really a day of eternal life!
Having said that, when the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang set up these systems, he really had a genius-like idea, not wasting a grain of grain and rice for the people, and feeding a million troops!
But at this time, the world has changed, and everything is not like that.
With Liu Lang's help, in the midst of this hustle and bustle, Xu Changqing asked Liu Lang to find two scribes to come over and help register and make a book.
The group was busy for most of the night, and finally put things in order.
And with the help of this official clerk, Xu Changqing also has a more thorough understanding of the details of these craftsmen at this time.
Although he took over such a mess without vain, this business is really not a loss, and there are many old craftsmen!
Not only are there more than 20 households that are full-time building armor weapons, but there are also dozens of households that are building firearms, which is exactly the talent that Xu Changqing needs most at this time!
Including other construction workers, carpenters, bricklayers, etc., are also talents that Xu Changqing needs very much.
Although this will add thousands of mouths to himself, and there are mostly old and weak women and children, this makes Xu Changqing directly pull up a super large construction team.
…
I didn't think about it all night.
Early the next morning, the fragrant and hot millet porridge had already been boiled in more than a dozen large pots.
With the experience of migrating the Liao people before, Xu Changqing is also very experienced in this, and he personally commanded the craftsmen to eat their morning meals well to ensure that they have the strength to go to the Green Snake Forest.
On the other hand, Xu Changqing also sent someone to contact Li Hongyun and tell him about the affairs here.
Li Hongyun is not happy, but at this time, Xu Changqing is the master, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
It's a pity that at this time, the manpower is limited, and the craftsmen have to carry a lot of broken bowls with their families, plus the 200 spears, even if the materials on Liu Lang's side can be allocated, they can't be transported back to Shark Island.
Xu Changqing could only give up these materials first, and then find a way later.
Anyway, with Liu Lang here, and even more so with the big Buddha of Hong Chengchou, Xu Changqing is not afraid that this account will not come back.
And there is still some stock on Shark Island, and it is not a big problem to maintain everyone's livelihood if they can keep fishing and earn money.
…
In the middle of the hour, it was not yet six o'clock, and Xu Changqing personally guided the team out of the city.
At this time, Li Hongyun and Li Feng outside the city were already ready, with six or seven hundred elite horsemen, which was not weaker than Hong Chengchou's standard supervision battalion, and even more sophisticated.
Xu Changqing was also secretly speechless.
In the magical land of Liaodi, even a veteran court official like Hong Chengchou may be difficult to fight with these local snakes.
It's no wonder that Hong Chengchou has to bow his head to these people many times.
The Li family, which has been out of gas for many years, is still like this, what about the ancestral family and the Wu family who are at their peak?
Although Li Hongyun was very unhappy with Xu Changqing's 'holding chicken feathers as an arrow', Xu Changqing firmly stood on the righteousness, and there was Miss Li's affairs pinching him, so he could only pinch his nose again and endure it.
But Li Feng, the chief general of the guard this time, was in a good mood, and he admired Xu Changqing a lot, and kept secretly giving Xu Changqing a thumbs up.
At this time, the matter of Xu Changqing's 'BMW for food' last night had already spread among the craftsmen, and Li Feng naturally knew about it.
He is also from a poor family, although he has been promoted to an official and made a fortune over the years, he has already gotten rid of this poor life, but ~, the relationship of his background makes him always have a sympathetic attitude towards these poor people.
Like Xu Changqing, he would definitely not dare to do it, after all, although he is honest, he is not stupid, who dares to break this kind of rule?
However, he really admires Xu Changqing!
This Xu Ye is such a good man!
Xu Changqing was a little speechless about this, because he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Li Feng was willing to work hard, which made things a lot more stable, and Xu Changqing's heartstrings, which had been tense, were also able to relax a little.
However, what Xu Changqing didn't expect was that their large group of people was already eye-catching, and somehow, the matter of last night's 'BMW for food' quickly spread among many camps outside the south gate, causing a restless and noisy crowd.
"Master Xu, what a good man!"
"Xu Ye is mighty!"
"Master Xu, brother, this is nothing good, please drink this bowl of wine!"
"Master Xu, my brothers are just fine, I am willing to escort Master Xu!"
"Xu Ye ......"
Originally, he could walk out of the South Gate camp in more than a quarter of an hour, but Xu Changqing walked for more than half an hour, and countless bright red figures who didn't know each other came over to greet Xu Changqing one after another, and expressed their respect for Xu Changqing in their way.
Xu Changqing didn't expect this situation at all.
But in this state, everyone greeted them with a warm smile, and Xu Changqing couldn't turn them away, so he could only accompany them one by one and smile to agree.
But although Xu Changqing had a smile on his face, his heart was burning!
If they can't get out of camp until after nine o'clock, the Tartar rangers must have noticed, in case they have a ghost mind, how can this thing be played?
Will it be delayed for another day?
But what Xu Changqing didn't expect was that when the group left the camp, the bright red cavalry figures around them might be able to break through fifteen or six hundred!
There are thousands of majestic war horses, carrying a good man with great momentum, escorting Xu Changqing and his party without any conditions!
Although Xu Changqing's mind has long been as solid as a rock, at this moment, he really can't stop crying!
These sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty may have such and such shortcomings, and even have many unforgivable sins, but~, at least these men who came to escort today always have such a truly pure pure land in their hearts!
With a formation of this scale, unless the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came over, it would no longer be able to pose any threat to Xu Changqing's team!
And Xu Changqing's journey has also attracted the attention of many big people.
At this time, the camp of Cao Bianjiao, which was at the outermost end of the security zone.
Cao Bianjiao yawned with dark circles under his eyes and full of alcohol, frowned at Xu Changqing and their enthusiastic crowd, and said to the soldiers around him: "Donkey ball, what's going on?" What are these people going to do? ”
He drank with Wang Tingchen, Tang Tong, Ma Ke and several other generals last night, and stayed up until it was not early, and he was still a little unconscious.
What he doesn't like the most is this kind of social occasion, but there is no way, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to coordinate the various departments in the future war, he can only pinch his nose.
was already unhappy, but he just wanted to sleep in the morning but was woken up by this noise again, Cao Bianjiao's mood can be imagined.
The soldiers hurriedly said respectfully: "Shuai Ye, it is the new garrison of the Hongdu Biao Battalion, the desperate San Lang Xu Changqing Xu Ye." Xu Ye saw the suffering of a group of artisan households in the city yesterday, and he couldn't bear to see them suffer, so he immediately exchanged the BMW for food, and used the BMW he seized from the hands of a Tartar royal family Baijia to exchange a lot of food with the people of the Supervising Battalion, not only to let these artisan households eat a few meals, but also to support them in the future! ”
That's the rumor.
Everyone will add something to it, show their own cow, be different.
At this time, the news of Xu Changqing's BMW exchanging food reached Cao Bianjiao's personal soldiers, which had already changed its flavor and was a bit mythologized.
"Xu Changqing?"
"Xu Ye?"
"Why does this name sound so familiar...? Donkey balls, I must have heard it somewhere. ”
Cao Bianjiao's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and most of the alcohol of the whole person had dissipated, and he hurriedly looked at the soldiers and said, "What is the identity of this Xu Changqing, and he has such a big name?" ”
