Chapter 45: Go to the City
Chapter 46
Three days later, Blackstone City sent someone to send a down payment for the ransom, including 10,000 copper coins and some salt, iron and grain. The person responsible for delivering the ransom turned out to be Lu Hu. In general, the handover process was very smooth, and after getting the birthday gift, Lu Hum did not go back to Black Rock City, but directly took the birthday gift to Youzhou City, which shows Xue Banchuan's anxiety.
During the handover process, Cheng Dalei could hear Lu Hum gritting his teeth creaking, and there was no doubt that as long as he had his hands free, Lu Hum would clean up the toad village as soon as possible.
This period of time is the development opportunity of Toad Village.
Maybe it's the last chance.
In the afternoon of the same day, Cheng Dalei erected a bulletin board made of wooden planks at the foot of the slope of Toad Village. There is a contract signed and stamped by Xue Banchuan on it, which states that anyone who passes by in Toad Village must hand over 20% interest to Toad Village, and what they get is to be escorted by Toad Village to leave Qingniu Mountain safely.
On the same day, Cheng Dalei asked Xu Shenji and Lin Shaoyu to ride horses and struck a circle of gongs in Qingniu Mountain to ensure that every cottage could hear it.
Bang Bang!
Bang Bang!
When this voice came from the bottom of the mountain, Gao Feihu was driving the donkey to grind, and his heart was excited, and the dustpan in his hand smashed to the ground.
"Good news again!"
This kind of thing happened several times in a row, Gao Feihu already has a psychological shadow, what kind of moth is the toad village doing this time.
"What are they posting this time?" Gao Feihu asked his brother.
"They didn't post it this time...... said that it was all posted outside the toad village, and if you want to know, you have to go where to look. "Goofy Leopard has just come back from outside.
"Send a brother to see, or you should go yourself, and go back as soon as possible." Gao Feihu knew that it was not a good thing, but he still wanted to know what Toad Village was tossing.
In the past few days, Gao Feihu has made a fortune in Toad Village, looking at it in his eyes, greedy in his heart. But there is no way to do it, ask yourself, he doesn't dare to rob Lu Hu, and he will definitely not be able to rob it. But Cheng Dalei did it, not only did it, but also did not have any casualties.
In any case, Gao Feihu has to give Cheng Dalei a word of service, what you can't do, if others can do it, you have to obey. I haven't heard of Boss Cheng's son before, it seems that he is a wine bag and rice bag that can't do anything, and what he eats, but he didn't expect Boss Cheng to die, and when everyone thought that the toad village was about to end, he showed it. Two battles in a row, well done......
Gao Feihu was also greedy when he looked at Cheng Dalei's harvest, and sometimes he wanted to rob the toad village, but he still remembered Lu Hu's tragic situation. No matter how you say it, Lu Hum shouldn't be so miserable, but he just said it, if Feihu Village wants to make a move on Toad Village, can he escape this fate......
So now it's just thinking about it and seeing if there's a chance in the future.
When he thought about this, a long time had passed, and Gao Feihu frowned: Why did he go for so long and not come back......
When Gao Feibao arrived at Toad Ridge, he saw a lot of people gathered under a wooden plank, all of them were bandits from various mountains and villages, and they were discussing something.
"Chili pepper...... What is a chili pepper, is it the same as a pepper?"
"After harvesting, each catty of chili peppers will be exchanged for one catty of grain, how much will this chili pepper yield ......?"
"It is said that it is at least more than 1,000 catties, and a pound of chili peppers for a pound of grain, that is, thousands of yields per mu, impossible!"
Goofy listened for a moment, then glanced at the plank again. He barely reads, so he can read what is written on it.
It means that if you want to plant chili peppers, you can go to Toad Village to get chili seedlings, and when the chili peppers are harvested, Toad Village will buy them at the price of one pound of chili peppers and one catty of grain.
This...... It's a bit of a!
Usually, cottage farming, that is, planting some wheat, soybeans, millet ...... Plant some sorghum in the field, and the yield per mu is 300 catties, which is considered a high yield.
"Sophomore in high school, what do you think of this, is it reliable?"
"Reliable, why not reliable, I think everyone should believe in the toad village, an acre of land is a thousand catties, there are a few acres, and a cottage will be fed. β
"Then I'll listen to the second master, go get some pepper seedlings. β
"Come back, I didn't hear the sophomore master laughing at you. β
"Haha, this baby belongs to that family, so naΓ―ve. Goofy Leopard smiled happily.
"It's from the boar forest. Someone said: "I don't think it's true, I've seen this kind of thing in my dreams, but I haven't seen it happen once." β
"By the way, does anyone believe them?" asked Goofy Leopard.
"Yes, why not. The little white wolf in Xinghualing took some, as well as the bald slope...... In fact, if it weren't for what the second master said, a few of us would have wanted to try it. β
"Go, why don't you go, there's pie in the sky, and you don't open your mouth to borrow it. β
"Don't laugh at the second master, while the weather is not cold, we still want to plant soybeans, but we can't delay the good fields. β
"It's good to understand that. We are small households, we can't follow the toad village to toss, as for Xinghualing and Bald Slope, we wish them a fortune. β
Everyone laughed, and gradually the crowd dispersed, and in the end, only a few families took some chili seedlings, and Gao Feibao himself took some, not to plant, but to see what this chili seedling was.
returned to Feihu Village and told Gao Feihu what happened.
"Big brother, I went to half an acre of seedlings, do you want to find a place to plant them?"
Gao Feihu shook his head: "Isn't this nonsense, you can plant another crop of beans this year, but there is no free land for you to toss." β
"Why don't I give me a piece of land, and I'll see what grows?"
Gao Feihu glanced at him and said impatiently: "There is a vacant lot in front of the hall, you can clean up where to plant it." β
Cheng Dalei didn't expect today's incident, he thought that according to the purchase price of one pound of grain and one pound of chili peppers, pepper seedlings would definitely be in short supply. As a result, only a few people took chili noodles from themselves, which disappointed Cheng Dalei.
Although there was no news from Deciduous Leaf City, Cheng Dalei felt that the effect of chili peppers would not be wrong, otherwise, it would not have swept the country in a short period of time.
And the question is, why hasn't there been any news from Su Ying's side? Cheng Dalei felt that it was time for him to go to Fallen Leaf City. First, it's to look at the situation on Su Ying's side, and second, it's that now that the cottage has money, you can find a way to spend money to buy some slaves and expand the population of the cottage......
I have been in this world for a while, and I have been in this poor ravine since the beginning, and I have never taken a step out of it, and I want to see with my own eyes what this city is like.
On a sunny morning, Cheng Dalei changed into the scribe's uniform rewarded by the system, carried a waist knife, rode a thin horse, and summoned Xu Shenji.
He's gone to town!
