Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

It was night, at the port of Fang County, the waves were beating against the rocks on the shore, and Qin Sheng and Qin Zhao led a team of troops to stand ready.

After the transaction between Lu Songli and Ji Wuyin was completed, Ji Wuyin gave them the exact place and time to pick up the goods, and the confidant housekeeper Liu Xiaohuai led Lu Songli's people to pick up and unload the goods.

"I'm coming!"

Liu Xiaohuai took Qin Sheng, Wu Ren and several others to board the ship first to meet Lin Shan, the person in charge of the fleet.

Lin Shan stretched himself after the boat came to a stop, and said to his deputy, "Finally, there is no danger, and this batch of grain from Ji Daxiu was transported to Liaodong County."

The deputy said with a smile, "We are also lucky."

Lin Shan nodded and yelled loudly, "Guys, cheer up, after the unloading is over, I'll have someone prepare appetizers and have a good drink!"

Liu Xiaohuai arrived just in time, and immediately took the conversation, "Vice Chief Lin, we've invited you to drink this meal, and reward you brothers."

Lin Shan laughed, "Then we won't be polite to you, Mr. Liu."

Time was urgent, so Liu Xiaohuai directly communicated with Lin Shan about stopping the ship and docking to unload the cargo.

Lin Shan saw that Liu Xiaohuai was following a handsome and handsome young gentleman, but the other party didn't intend to introduce him, and he didn't say much.

After Liu Xiaohuai communicated with Lin Shan, Qin Zhao, Qin Sheng and others could unload the food.

Ships full of grain are lined up on the river, waiting to be unloaded on the shore, and then resupply.

Under the leadership of Qin Sheng and others, the soldiers began to board the ship, transport and deliver food.

Bags of grain were unloaded from the cabin and piled up on the pier, but soon, the grain piled up on the pier was immediately transported away.

This group of people didn't need the help of the crew at all, and the crew just watched from the side.

Those with eyesight can see the way, "These are all soldiers?"

The well-trained mobility and the evil spirit on them are not what ordinary laborers on the dock can have.

"No wonder it's so fast."

Lin Shan asked Liu Xiaohuai curiously, "Who is the owner of the goods that Ji Daxiu traded this time? He even used the army to transport the grain."

It is a local custom in the Southland to add a ten thousand character to the surname of a rich businessman to show respect and also to mean a rich man.In addition, there are titles such as Qi Ji, Lang Guan, and Xiu to distinguish the level of wealthy businessmen. Among them, Xiu is the highest level, and the family property that can reach the level of Xiu must be above Wanguan.Ji Wuyin is the eldest in his family, so he is honored as Ji Daxiu in the south.

Liu Xiaohuai only said, "If you shouldn't inquire, don't inquire."

Lin Shan expressed his understanding.

Liu Xiaohuai asked him again, "Is your journey northward okay? Did you encounter any danger?"

Lin Shan: "There is no danger."

Liu Xiaohuai looked over at him, and the assistant next to him answered, "It's true that there was no danger. I encountered water bandits twice on the way. Fortunately, we brought enough people to go north this time. The two sides fought hand-to-hand for a while, and the other party probably found an idea. Unable to bear it, he lingered for half an hour before reluctantly leaving."

It's just that the [-] shi grain target is too big, and I hope Ji Daxiu won't make such a big deal when he returns.

And the other party gave up so easily because they found that these goods were all food.As far as the water bandits are concerned, they are not short of food now, so naturally they don't think the food is precious.This food is too bulky, unlike precious items such as jewelry, gold and silver, which can be snatched and run away.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Qin Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard it. There are also water bandits on the water?

The Qin family has always lived in the interior, and occasionally heard of water bandits. At that time, the Qin family was in charge of guarding the northern border. If there was no trouble in this regard, they just listened to it.

After arriving in Liaodong County, Qin Sheng heard the word "water bandit" again.

He was worrying, after cleaning up the rest of the cottages in Liaodong County, where would he go to get money for his wife?

It's just that they don't have a boat...

Qin Sheng looked at the big boats on the river with longing eyes, wanting to...

As soon as the food was shipped back, Wu Ren came to report, "Mrs. Qin Liu, the food has been shipped back, a total of [-] shi!"

Lu Songli ordered, "Store [-] stones for emergencies, the other [-] stones will be given to Houcheng for [-] stones, and the other [-] stones will be distributed to Wangping, Wuli County, Liaoyang County, Gaoxian County, etc. county."

Wu Ren quickly calculated that for the [-] shi of grain, Hou Cheng took up [-] shi, and the remaining four counties probably got less than [-] shi.

As the new central city of Liaodong County, Houcheng's foundation is too poor, and they need more preferential treatment and support to help it establish its position in Liaodong County.

The other four counties surround Houcheng and are the closest to Houcheng. The bandits in the county have all been eradicated (Gaoxian County is eliminating bandits), and the common people have bought food without worrying about being robbed.

For the people in Houcheng and the rural people in nearby counties and towns, this day is an ordinary but extraordinary day.

Gaoxian County, Qingshui Village

Many villagers work in the fields, weeding the crops and catching insects.

At this time, an old man came from the entrance of the village with his back bent.

Someone recognized the old man's identity and greeted him, "Uncle Hu, you're back from the county. Has the price of food in the county been reduced?"

The rest of the people caught the sensitive word of food price and stopped what they were doing to look at them.

Uncle Hu shook his head, sighed and said, "What's the price reduction? A bucket of grain is sold for three hundred yuan, which is unbearable. This is ordinary grain, and good grain is more than this price."

His words made the listeners feel heavy.

"I think the price of food will continue to rise. Let's save some food for the family. If you have money, you can buy some more." Uncle Hu said, with his hands behind his back, ready to go home.

"Uncle Hu, what do you say, where is the money left at home?"

"This food has been saved so much that it can't be saved anymore. Every meal is made thin, and the rice grains can be counted."

"Oh, when will such a day end?"

"I heard that Houcheng, Wangping, and Wuli counties are recruiting people to serve in the army. During the service, the government will provide free good soup."

"is this real?"

"It's true. Two meals a day, one bowl for each person. Sometimes it's stewed kelp with meat and bones, and sometimes it's seaweed egg drop soup. I heard it tastes very good."

"I've heard that too. I wonder when it's our Gaomin county's turn?"

The villagers showed longing looks one by one.

In the past years, the common people avoided serving in the military. Now, because of the free two bowls of soup a day, and in order to save some rations for the family, they can't wait to go to the army early.

At this moment, a young man came running from outside and greeted everyone, "Hurry up, everyone, go to the town! The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store in the town has cheap grain for sale! It will be sold soon, everyone hurry up."

"Cheap food? How cheap?"

"A bucket of one hundred words."

Someone muttered, "This price is the same as before."

Uncle Hu reprimanded the other party with a straight face, "Don't be cheap and behave like a good boy. It used to be the past, but when is it now? People are willing to sell it for [-] yuan a bucket, which is [-] yuan cheaper than the current grain store! Do you still want to buy it?" How? Give it to you for nothing? "

"It's so cheap, it can't be moldy food, right?"

The young man said, "No, I've read it, and the food is good food. Everyone who wants to buy food, remember to bring your household registration book! If you don't bring your household registration book, you won't be allowed to buy food."

"Household registration book? Is it the one given by the government when the population was counted a while ago?"

"Yes, that's the one."

"Okay, I'll get it."

"It's broken, my family thinks it's troublesome, so I can't do it. What should I do next?"

At that time, the government counted the population and did household registration, but the Yang family thought they were smart and hid away.

"Go to the government office to make up for it. Otherwise, you won't be able to buy food!"

"Uncle Hu, I'm going to inform the next-door village, so I won't tell you more. Let's inform each other in the village. Those who have a household registration book are restricted, and each person is limited to three catties of grain."

"Okay, I won't say anything, go back and get your household registration book to buy food!"

"Everyone, don't dawdle, hurry up. Each person is limited to buy three catties of grain, and it will be sold out soon. I don't know when the grain will come again."

Countless people flocked to the town, and the same situation happened in several counties, towns and villages centered on Houcheng.
