Chapter 180: Yunyang on the Move

The sunny slope in the night was silent, and Chen Ming had already slept. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't know that his baby son was just crying and shouting, and he didn't know that his cheap dad was in the study with a sad face.

He didn't know that hundreds of miles away in Yunxi, a place called Fanzigou, a small group of people were tiptoeing towards the compound in front of them in the dark.

A young man at the head wore a pigtail as thin as a rat's tail on the back of his head, and whispered to the people around him: "Be careful, let's touch it from the northwest corner." It is relatively loose there, and the front door and backyard of the rich man Kong are very strict. I won't talk about it during the day, I also came last night, and there are more people guarding the front and back doors. This foreigner surnamed Kong can be ruthless. Let's go in from the northwest corner, and the cellar is not far away. Be careful. ”

The group walked while talking, and when they reached the northwest corner of the courtyard, they did not encounter any guards. I have to say that the luck of these little thieves is quite good. Their actions happened to be chosen in the place where Chen Bao's vast mansion under the pseudonym Kong Lingren was most slack, and the eve of dawn was also the time when the spirit of the night guards here was the most sluggish.

Since beating Wang Qingjiang, an internal traitor, Chen Baoguang was not discouraged, but chose to go incognito and reopen the country. No longer take the grassroots route, but under the pseudonym Kong Lingren Kong, the rich man opened a wooden factory in Yunxi.

Wood mills are very common in Yunyang Province, because it is full of high mountains and dense forests, and the logging industry and the paper industry that extends with the logging industry have always been the two major products of Yunyang Province. Although there are few outsiders in Yunxi, a broken place, to open a factory, it is not the first column in the world, and Chen Baoguang easily opened up the relationship between Yunxi County and the government.

The recruitment of manpower in the woodyard was easier, and Chen Baoguang gave a good salary, and soon recruited two or three hundred people from the mountains of Yunxi. Well, some of them are dragged with their families.

Under the guise of opening a carpentry factory, Chen Baoguang also purchased a lot of grain from outside, mainly coarse grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and naturally brought a large number of weapons and armor during transportation.

As long as he gives food and takes care of food, Chen Baoguang's 'downline' development speed is amazing, which makes him want to slap himself when he recalls his previous practice. So much time wasted. Although the few people who survived at that time were already the backbone of his subordinates.

Yunyang Prefecture is in the midst of a food crisis, and Chen Baoguang sees this phenomenon very clearly. In the past, the price of a bucket of fine grain in Yunyang Mansion was about two cents of silver, and the price of coarse grain was six cents to one dollar and two cents of silver, depending on the different types. There are also cheaper multigrains.

But with the entry of the army into Henan, first of all, Henan's grain could not be transported to Nanyang, and the Xiangyang grain market was already in short supply, although it was not the main force. However, the local collection of military rations will lead to the life of the Xiangyang grain market, which has directly affected the livelihood of the people in Yunyang Prefecture, and the price of grain in Yunyang has risen all the way, whether it is fine grain, coarse grain or miscellaneous grain, it is all double the price. When Chen Ming led the army to Xiangyang, the price of grain in Yunyang Mansion completely collapsed.

Chen Baoguang took the opportunity to recruit manpower, and now there are five or six hundred people in his wood factory, deducting more than 200 women, children, old and weak, not to mention being able to pull out 300 men. And the loyalty of these 300 people is quite high, in the current Yunyang Mansion, a good proprietor like Chen Baoguang is difficult to find in thousands of miles, and he has food in his hands, so he has the loyalty of these displaced refugees.

The grain depot of the wood mill is located in this large courtyard, which not only has a grain depot, but also a cellar for storing sweet potatoes, potatoes and other miscellaneous grains. The grain depot is generally difficult to enter, but in the cellar, Chen Baoguang himself didn't pay much attention to it, which attracted the peeps of this group of little thieves.

Chen Baoguang is very busy these days, the Chen family's soldiers have entered Yunyang Mansion, and their latent chess pieces are naturally about to emerge, taking advantage of the stall where Yunyang Mansion's attention is all attracted by Chen Ming, the chess pieces in the dark camp ambushed in Yunyang are connected with each other, and they are already planning when to burst out of their strength.

Chen Baoguang's task was to raise the flag and shout in response to Chen Jiajun when Chen Jiajun was approaching Yunxi, and stab them in the back of Yunxi County. If you can cooperate with Chen Jiajun to conquer Yunxi County, it will be better.

Therefore, some of the manpower in the compound has been assigned, and Chen Baoguang wants to take the opportunity to recruit more people and contact more people. Every shack in the Yunxi Mountains and Forests must be contacted one or two, shouting twice, no matter whether anyone comes to follow them, whether there are dates or not.

Otherwise, the thief leader at the head would not easily find the hole in the northwest corner after visiting the compound. If the time had been changed to half a month ago, it would have been impossible for these thieves to touch the corner of the compound, and they had already been discovered by the secret sentinel on the road.

What does it taste like to have dirt in potato skins?

Chen Baoguang said with certainty that he had not tasted it.

But the thieves in front of them were like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, grabbing potatoes, and without wiping the mud on the outside, they stuffed them directly into their mouths. These people have long been extremely hungry, and the potatoes standing on the soil are also supreme treasures in their eyes. These people's eyes lit up one by one, picked up the potatoes and wiped them casually on their bodies, and directly stuffed the potatoes into their mouths and chewed them.

Potatoes that are mixed with the taste of earth and potato skin are certainly not tasty, but 'hunger' is a very spiritual phenomenon that can transform decay into magic. It makes people directly ignore the smell of the earth and potato skin, and infinitely magnify the dryness of the raw potatoes, so that they can have a medium-sweet taste.

All the thieves had a happy look on their faces, as if they were not eating potatoes at all, but a full banquet of the Manchurians.

Only the thief looked at them with disdain, he didn't eat raw potatoes, and there were sweet potatoes in the cellar two steps away. He jumped down from the cellar neatly, climbed up with five large sweet potatoes in his clothes, and then went down to the cellar where the potatoes were, and carried seven or eight potatoes of no small size, "You guys can hurry up." The thief shouted in a low voice as he busied himself.

Chen Baoguang, who was a spy himself, was touched into his cellar by a group of thieves, and he didn't know that he had been living comfortably enough recently. No matter how short of manpower there is in the compound, he doesn't know that he was touched to the cellar by a group of thieves, which proves that his vigilance is zero.

Of course, this is absolutely related to Chen Ming's entry into Yunyang Mansion before he saw it, but no matter what, this is Chen Baoguang's own unqualified quality. The Chen family's secret camp, which has expanded rapidly in a short period of time, is very worrying about the quality of its people.

It's just that thieves are thieves after all, these hungry boys, after seeing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, can't help their greed at all, and pull the sweet potatoes and potatoes into the bag one by one, and don't look at the weight of the things in the bag.

The last group of people dropped their chains while escaping, and were caught by the night guards in the compound, and then they were all caught......
