Chapter 69: Water Irrigates the Beams

Outside Kaifeng City, the military camp is still spreading, but the scale seems to be smaller.

At noon, Gao Yihuan, who came from Shangqiu, came to the outside of the Zhongquan camp, and the leader of the camp knew him and greeted him with a smile, "Yo, isn't this Captain Gaodu?" ”

When Zhao Daxian returned to Kaifeng to take away his family, he came to the Zhongquan camp to look for the old man, so the people guarding the door knew that he had been promoted to lieutenant.

Gao Yihuan knew the leader in front of him, who was a department chief under Zhou Ronghua, surnamed Chen, and he didn't know his real name, but he knew that his nickname was Sandao.

"It's Brother Chen!" The second brother asked with a smile: "You are in charge of the brigade, what about my brother Zhou?"

Chen Sandao didn't answer immediately, he smiled, "Captain Gao doesn't know yet, Zhou Tou has also been promoted, and now he has also become a captain, so he has long stopped guarding the door." ”

Gao Yihuan was slightly stunned, but then reacted, when he went north from Shangqiu, he had already heard the news of the defeat of the official army in Zhuxian Town, presumably Zhou Ronghua made some contributions, so he was promoted to one level.

Thinking of this, Gao Yihuan immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhou has been promoted, and Brother Chen has also been promoted to one level now." Congratulations! ”

Chen Sandao said with a smile on his face: "Tongxi, Tongxi, Gao Duwei is here to find Zhou Tou."

Gao Yihuan nodded, "Please also ask Brother Chen to report it." ”

Chen Sandao bowed slightly, turned his head and ordered a soldier, and chatted with Gao Yihuan.

Not long after, Zhou Ronghua, who was wearing a mountain pattern armor, walked over laughing, looking high-spirited.

Gao Yihuan saw that he was dressed in a uniform and was very powerful and domineering, and he knew that the Chuang army had indeed won a big victory this time.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Zhou Ronghua laughed and punched Gao Yihuan on the shoulder, how could Gao Yihuan let him take advantage of him, and also punched him in the shoulder, the two laughed and hugged each other, "Brother Zhou, congratulations to Gao Sheng!" ”

Zhou Ronghua hugged Gao Yihuan, then pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, didn't my brother tell you, there is really no food now, but this time the king won a big victory, and a lot of seizures were captured, if you want to get some weapons and armor, the old brother still has a little in his hand, and the price is easy to discuss."

Gao Yihuan sent people over a few times before, wanting to get some food from Zhou Ronghua, but when he saw Gao Yihuan coming, he thought he was coming to buy food again.

The two brothers and brothers called, but Zhou Ronghua knew that Gao Yihuan wanted to find him, and there was only one thing, that is, to resell materials, and he was willing to see Gao Yihuan, and there was also only one reason, that is, to make a deal.

Gao Yihuan listened to Zhou Ronghua's words, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, the army had no food, he could just pull the grain to sell at a high price, and as for the weapons and armor, it was exactly what he needed.

"Brother Zhou, is there really no food in the camp again?" Gao Yihuan asked in a low voice.

Zhou Ronghua sighed, "I lied to you." As he spoke, he looked left and right, then lowered his voice and continued: "Just a few days ago, Cao Ying's food ran out, and Luo Ru was about to leave the camp. There are nearly one million people in the Kaifeng battalion, although Li Guo, the general of the post-battalion system, has returned with a lot of grain in Guide, but he can't bear to open a million mouths, the camp really has no food, you are twenty taels and one stone, and I can't sell you. ”

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard it, he didn't bargain, and Zhou Ronghua himself showed his hole cards.

After he finished speaking, the second brother was not in a hurry to mention the matter of food, but asked: "Brother Zhou, this time Zhu Xianzhen has won a big victory, and a lot of armor and weapons have been seized, right?"

Zhou Ronghua's face was suddenly covered with a smile, "What, the eldest brother is interested?" Brother, I can tell you that this time, King Chuang broke through 30,000 officers and soldiers, but the seizures were piled up, and there were nearly 10,000 mules and horses. ”

Zhou Ronghua looked at Gao Yihuan with some excitement, "Big brother, what do you want, tell your brother." ”

"Brother Zhou, cotton armor, fire guns, spears, war knives, mules and horses, medicine, what is the price?" Gao Yihuan didn't find a blacksmith, so his armor and equipment still needed to be purchased with money.

Zhou Ronghua saw that he was really interested, and his attitude became more affectionate, "Big brother, with our relationship, my brother doesn't earn much from you, cotton armor and fire guns are three taels, war knives and spears are five dollars of silver, and one pound of medicine is one tael, and mules and horses are not easy to handle, at least sixty taels and one horses." What do you think? ”

Cotton armor and fire guns can be made in one or two, Zhou Ronghua said that it was a discount, but in fact, he earned more than three times, and the price of mules and horses is close to that of war horses.

However, considering the purchasing power of Henan silver, it is far inferior to Jiangnan, so this is acceptable.

Gao Yihuan groaned slightly, and then said: "Brother Zhou, I want 600 sets of cotton armor, 200 fire guns, war knives, spears, and rattan cards, 500 catties of medicine, and 50 mules and horses."

Zhou Ronghua listened to his words, his eyes popped out, and he couldn't help but glance Gao Yihuan up and down, "Big brother, how rich are you?" ”

Zhou Ronghua didn't expect Gao Yihuan to ask for such a large amount, which adds up to at least about six thousand taels, where did he get so much silver?

At this time, Gao Yihuan was also looking at Zhou Ronghua, staring at the mountain pattern armor on his body and said, "Brother Zhou, do you sell this armor?"

Zhou Ronghua's face was a little stunned, why is this kid so crazy now, how much silver does he have, and he doesn't even let go of the armor on his body.

"This is expensive, at least one hundred taels to get the goods~" Zhou Ronghua said, but his eyes glanced behind the second brother Gao, and when he saw that Zhao Zhuzi and the others were coming empty-handed, he couldn't help frowning: "Big brother, aren't you making fun of your brother?" Where is your silver? ”

This feeling of buying and buying made Gao Yihuan very comfortable in his heart, and when he heard Zhou Ronghua ask him about the silver, he couldn't help but smile mysteriously on his face, "How dare I make fun of my brother?" ”

Gao Yihuan paused, and then said: "Don't hide it from my brother, I really don't have much silver~"

What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be without silver? The expression on Zhou Ronghua's face immediately collapsed, and he was a little unhappy, "Big brother, brother, I don't have to pay on credit~"

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan hurriedly said, "Where does Brother Zhou want to go?" Isn't the camp short of food, and I'm going to exchange it for you. How about giving you 3,000 stone first? The price, according to what my brother said, twenty taels per stone! ”

When Zhou Ronghua heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Do you have food?"

"I just got a lot of food in Bozhou." Saying that, Gao Yihuan's voice was lowered, "I also found a channel to trade with the south, these three thousand stones are just the beginning, and there is still grain coming from behind." ”

Zhou Ronghua was shocked, three thousand stones of grain had already shocked him, Gao Yihuan still had a channel to trade with the south to buy grain, wasn't that a chicken who could only lay golden eggs?

"Big brother, this joke can't be made!" Zhou Ronghua still didn't believe it, after all, the gentry in the southeast were the sworn enemies of the army, and the two sides couldn't go with Ben, and a few rich gentry dared to trade with murderous thieves.

"Brother Zhou, how could I lie to you about this." Gao Yihuan said: "I came to Kaifeng this time to find you to see if you can eat this food." If you don't believe me, I'll tell you that I'll bring the grain in a few days, but you'll have to give me twenty taels and one stone!" ”

Zhou Ronghua saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and he regretted it in his heart, he had nothing to mention about the lack of food, and what did he mention about twenty taels and one stone?

His clothes and armor, weapons, Gao Yihuan didn't return the bargain, he said that he was short of food, and he didn't have to sell twenty taels, but now it's not easy to change his words, he really can't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

Zhou Ronghua regretted for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, if you really have 3,000 stone of grain and a channel to get enough grain from the south, then this first batch of grain, I will give you 20 taels per stone to eat, but the later transaction can't be at this price, brother, I also have to earn some, right~"

Gao Yihuan laughed when he heard this, and took Zhou Ronghua's hand, "Brother Zhou, there is no problem, let's discuss the next batch~"
