In Cobb City, although the owner has changed, but the lively and chaotic appearance has not changed, the Indians are very kind, speaking of which, it should be very amicable to the strong, seeing this group of Chinese such a melon and cutting vegetables to solve the British soldiers in the city, they have long been obedient, and when they saw the native soldiers holding their heads in their hands and being guarded by two or three yellow-skinned people with muskets on the side of the road, they were suddenly very docile.

This is a typical Tianzhu style city, the whole city is built with mud, everywhere is gray, occasionally there are some so-called big families with a little bit of local power, hearing the sound of shouting and killing outside the city, it has long been Du Men who can't count on those thieves outside who want to attack Cobb City, oh, no, it's those heroes and heroes who don't come to harass us white people, I heard that there are already many people in the west of New Delhi who are rebelling, I hope it won't infect this place, It is also hoped that those who attack and enter the city will better loot the British-run treasury.

Unfortunately, after this group of strange people attacked Cobb City, on the second day, the doors of several large families in the city were knocked on the doors, and a group of people who looked very strong, armed with knives and guns, politely invited the heads of various families to meet at the place where the British were stationed.

When they arrived here, it was indeed a group of orientals, the leader of whom was dressed in a blue robe and had a strange bun on his head, and there were often foreign merchants passing by in Cobb City, so everyone knew that these people were from the far east, and of course these people would not be as amiable as those merchants who carried fine handicrafts, porcelain, and cloth, and the people at the head said very unceremoniously that they were asked for food.

"Of course, we will pay," Lu Lianshan said indifferently, "but you must take out all your food, except for what you eat." ”

Everyone thought that these robbers were going to raid the house, and they wanted all the food, didn't they want the lives of the big guys? One by one, the ghosts cried wolf, "Honorable lord," a dark-skinned Indian man with a white cloth turban on his head and a snow-white beard under his chin nodded towards Lu Lianshan, "The only difference between us people and those lowly people underground is this food, if you deprive us of the only things we rely on, then we will not be able to live any longer, please raise your noble hand, in return," he turned his head to look at the landlords and rich people with very sad faces, "Every one of our families, He was willing to give ten loads of food to the adults. ”

"What nonsense!" Li Shaopu on the side said impatiently, he blew his beard and glared at everyone, "I asked you to sell grain, and I didn't want to ask you to send grain for free, we are the righteous teachers of the Dayue Dynasty, how can we make a reason to ask for food from the masses in vain?" We will not take a stitch from the masses! ”

Li Shaopu couldn't help but secretly slander why the head of the class confessed his words so strangely? And it seems to be very upright to say, but seeing the expressions of these Indians on the other side shows that they don't believe what Li Shaopu said, "What the head of the squad said is right," Li Shaopu shook his head, he turned his head to Lu Lianshan and said, "The consciousness of these Indian people is still lower." ”

Lu Lianshan waved his hand, and some soldiers moved several boxes out of it, and the soldiers who carried them had heavy footsteps, and the boxes smashed on the ground, stirring up dust, obviously there were very heavy things in this box, Lu Lianshan ordered people to open them, and there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, as well as many copper coins and silver coins, "These are for you, and we will ask for food." ”

Lu Lianshan opened his mouth indifferently, he looked at these rich people who were still crying a minute ago in front of him, and a golden light flashed in his eyes at this time, "My lord," the white-bearded old man was obviously a representative of the wealthy merchants in the city, he looked at the gold and silver, and hurriedly asked Lu Lianshan, "Are these the fees to be paid to us?" ”

"Of course," Lu Lianshan nodded, "that's what we pay for food." ”

"We completely obey the orders of the adults," Seeing Lu Lianshan take the silver out, the faces of these people immediately changed, I thought that these Chinese wanted empty gloves and white wolves, but I didn't expect that they were really rich! If you have money, you can say anything, and everyone is rushing to speak, "Your Excellency, I have good soybeans here, which can be eaten by your horses, and ensure that they will walk like a fly after eating!" ”

"I have very good rice here, I know that the respected Chinese adults don't like to eat wheat, we have very good rice here, all of them are excellent rice produced on both sides of the Ganges, and I hope it can be provided to the army of the adults!"

Everyone hurriedly said that they wanted Lu Lianshan to buy their own food, and at this time, no one said that there was no surplus food at home, Li Shaopu sneered slightly, and disdained the flattery of these people, but Lu Lianshan did not have such a high level, he nodded, "But there is one thing, I still have to explain it to you." ”

"All these gold and silver coins were taken out of the storehouses of the British in your city."

For a while, everyone fell silent again, the big guys looked at each other silently, their expressions were different, but their hearts were bitter, no wonder these Chinese were so rich, it turned out that they all robbed the British treasury in Cobb City! Now that they have taken the payment from the Chinese, in the future the British will come to the door, and the Chinese will pat their ass and leave, and these locals will face the anger of the British, if they demand that they hand over the payment of the Chinese, what will happen then? It can probably only be said that he has run out of food and money.

The white-bearded old man took a few steps back, and the people behind him followed suit, "Honorable lord, I dare not guarantee that the British will not trouble me when they come back, the villain must tell the truth, if they come back, and the adults are gone, we will be as weak and helpless as carp in the dry bed of the Ganges River in the dry season, and we dare not bear such a burden......"

Lu Lianshan didn't seem to hear the difficulties of these people, and just said to himself, "I will pay twice the price of the market to buy all of you." ”

"We hope that you can be consider......ate of our difficulties," the white-bearded old man said to himself, but the people behind him completely heard Lu Lianshan's price, and hurriedly pushed away the white-bearded old man, with a green light in his eyes, "Honorable lord," all the people rushed to surround Lu Lianshan and Li Shaopu, "We are willing to help our distinguished guests!" I'm willing to sell any grain! ”
