Chapter Twelve

Since he wanted to make a good relationship for his personal soldiers, Liu Chang brought a few personal soldiers to arrange them. He used the stone hotpot method to find people to beg for alms everywhere.

The first person I found was Qu Zhenhan. Liu Chang asked eagerly: "Ship Qu, it's not easy for you to follow you for the New Year. Now I can't even solve the problem of food and clothing. I'll say a fair sentence for him, and ask the Grandmaster to give me these fifty brothers fifty taels of silver."

At noon today, Qu Zhenhan had just collected tens of thousands of liang of white and sea-carrying supplies through Liu Chang's relationship, but the food and salary have not been fully in place yet. He is a little rich man in the countryside: "What is Liu Jian's saying? Qu treats his brothers badly!"

"But now I'm very nervous. In this way, you go to the Jin County Magistrate to receive twenty taels of silver and arrange for your brothers!"

Fifty taels of silver turned into twenty taels, and some people have already said strange things: "Ship Qu is not worth it. I heard that at noon today, Liu Jiandian won tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of stones of grain for him. Why can't he even bear this little money now!"

Qu Jie was defending Qu Zhenhan: "Uncle Zhenhai has his own plans, what do you know!"

"It's okay!" Liu Chang was very open-minded: "This is a good start. I have to take care of my brothers, so I naturally have to make good relationships everywhere, and don't have to focus on Qu Shuai."

Not only did he get twenty taels of silver from Qu Zhenhan, he then looked for people to beg for alms everywhere, Ni Tingmo also gave ten taels of silver, Jin Peiquan gave half a stone of rice in the name of the magistrate of Yueqing County, and then he found wealthy families in Yueqing County to raise funds.

Originally, several personal soldiers thought that Liu Chang had at most dozens of taels of silver and stones of rice, but these wealthy families were particularly enthusiastic about Liu Jiandian, who was very capable: "Although Liu Jiandian was a little tired at home, he said that he would not have to grit his teeth and squeeze it out for you even two hundred taels of silver. Don't be polite, this is eighty taels of silver!"

"Liu Jiandian is so polite. How dare you refuse a small trumpet when you come to your door? There is nothing else. This cloth is ready-made. I'll pull you a few more feet of cloth to make clothes for your brothers!"

"No other meaning, please make sure to give your brothers some tea!"

"Liu Jiandian, I have nothing to help here. Every brother can afford a pair of military shoes!"

"If you don't accept my five stones, you look down on your brother, so you must accept it!"

After only half an hour of traveling, the personal soldiers were already surprised. Liu Jiandian's face was indeed great.

After just a while, Liu Changguang gained more than 400 taels of silver, and it was distributed to everyone, almost 8 taels. Usually, everyone worked hard for a month, just two or three taels of silver.

In addition to silver, the material harvest was even more abundant. The rice was nearly twenty stones. Everyone changed into new shoes on their feet and pulled a few feet of new cloth around their waists. In addition to making a new outfit for themselves, it was also enough to pull a new outfit for the baby at home.

As for other scattered harvests, there are quite a few. There are two big pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Now even Qu Jie is saying strange things: "Uncle Zhenhai is not good enough, only the wealthy families in the city are good enough!"

What's the point of saying it's so interesting? Liu Chang opened his mouth to borrow ten taels, but these wealthy families often took out a hundred and eighty taels directly. Even if they couldn't get the real money and silver, they would take out enough military supplies and labor.

After returning to the temporary barracks stationed by the sentry, Liu Chang had already asked: "Who knows how to keep accounts? Who can keep accounts? Let's help me divide the money!"

Immediately someone raised his hand and helped Liu Chang divide the food and salary. Each of them first distributed five taels of silver, and then the military shoes and cloth were also distributed to the brothers. Liu Chang said again: "Tomorrow, everyone will have good food and drinks, and then make a new dress, so today, brothers, give me some face and go and wash it!"

The sanitation conditions in the Qing Dynasty were very bad, and these personal soldiers had a stinking smell. Now they were laughing. Qu Jie smiled and said, "From today, I am also decent!"

The soldiers were already yelling: "Liu Jiandian gives us face, and we also give us face. Whatever you say, we will do whatever we want!"

As he was talking, he had already knocked on the door: "Is it Liu Changliu's inspection?"

Liu Chang felt that the voice was a little familiar, and immediately waved his hand, and a personal soldier opened the door. The person who came was beaten like a pig's head, and his whole body was trembling. As soon as he saw Liu Chang, he knelt down: "The criminal Huo Qiu had seen Master Liu Jiandian, and the criminal knew his mistake. He begged the master to spare the lives of the common people!"

Liu Chang had already remembered that this person was the rich man in Xixiang who was beaten up by the imperial palace. He was very brave and kept saying that he was a "demon" and "demonic art". He also wanted to mobilize everyone to break Liu Chang's demonic art, but he was beaten to the point of being as if he was beaten to the head.

But Liu Chang didn't expect that this person came to the door now, but this person was quite knowledgeable. Liu Chang immediately asked, "Did you know you're wrong?"

Huo Qiu kowtowed his head on the bluestone slab as if he was pounding garlic: "The people who sinned know that they were wrong, and the people who sinned know that they were wrong. The people who sinned should not violate the power of the great master. Now the people who sinned only want to make merits and atone for their sins, and ask the great master to spare the lives of the common people!"

Liu Chang pondered and said, "What are your achievements?"

As a rich man in Xixiang, Huo Qiu did have some knowledge: "A villain has little property and heard that the military pay and food in the inspection team are still short of military wages and food, and he is willing to destroy his family and relieve the difficulties!"

Liu Chang shook his head and said, "You should talk to Qu Shuai about this matter. I am just a idle person under Qu Shuai and I can't care about this matter!"

He was not in a hurry, and Qu Jie was already in a hurry for him: "Check, you don't know the inside story. This Huo Qiu is a well-known big family in our Yueqing county!"

Huo Qiu is willing to invest in the benefits, but the property he has taken out is not as high as four or five hundred taels. How can such a huge benefit be given? He wished he could decide for Liu Chang: "Precaution, don't miss the opportunity!"

"The small people not only have little property, but also do some private salt business, which can usually attract thirty or fifty people!" Huo Qiu had already revealed his bottom line: "I came here this time, just to go all out to inspect!"

"Hmm?" Liu Chang changed the statement: "Okay! Get up first, who asked you to join me!"

Huo Qiu's forehead was covered with blood, but he still knelt on the ground: "Please take it in by sir."

"Who asked you to vote for me?" Liu Chang asked this sentence: "Say it!"

"The examination point is indeed a god-like man, and it is Sun Huzi who directed the sinner to serve the Lord."

Sun Huzi? Liu Chang had already remembered the bearded man who killed an outsourcing member and regarded the general as a lie: "He has some knowledge!"

If we talk about Liu Chang's understanding, no one is better than Sun Huzi. Before coming here, Sun Huzi and Huo Qiu had a close relationship.

Sun Huzi said it very clearly: "You just go to Liu Jiandian! What kind of person is Qu Zhenhai? You are also very bright in your heart. But today when you entered the city, you suddenly had the method of reaching the sky. Qu Zhenhai would definitely not be able to play with this method. It must be Liu Jiandian's ability!"

Huo Qiu also saw the miracle in Liu Chang's hands with his own eyes, and deeply agreed that he was usually a powerful man who was comparable to Qu Zhenhan, but today the various methods of the Red Turban Army made him feel refreshed, so he made up his mind to come and join Liu Chang.

He knew very well that if he could not find a backer in the Red Turban Army, he would not be able to keep his peace by making a good show at the Niangniang Temple.

Seeing that Liu Chang was a little moved, he continued, "The villain can do something for the Master of Inspection. As long as the Master of Inspection explains it, no matter how hard or difficult it is, the villain will do it with all his might!"

When Liu Chang heard this, she finally nodded: "Get up, I just happened to have something to leave to you!"

Huo Qiu was full of burdens and was relieved immediately, but he kowtowed to Liu Chang three times: "The sinners thanked the master for their merits, please examine the master for their confession of the crimes."

Liu Chang personally helped Huo Qiu up: "It's a big deal. Since you can pull up thirty or fifty people on weekdays, you always know how to get weapons. Look at me, the whistleman!"

Qu Jie interrupted and said, "Brother Huo, we will be a family in the future, so let's tell the truth. It's fine if our brothers lack food and clothing. The inspection has already gotten food and clothing for us begging for alms everywhere, but weapons are a big problem!"

Among the fifty people, there were only twelve quick knives and a bow. There was not a single most critical bird gun on the military formation. Such a combination was shabby to participate in a folk fight, so don't even mention pulling it up to fight in front of the formation.

As a qualified salt dealer, Huo Qiu was naturally not just "pulling up thirty or fifty people". He immediately replied: "Please rest assured. In order to prevent bandits from defending themselves, the villain usually put more than a dozen self-defense weapons in his barn, and was willing to offer them and inspect them."

It was only after opening Huo Qiu's barn that Huo Qiu's intention was not to defend himself. There were nineteen weapons hidden in the barn, all of which were sharp weapons that were used to drive the edge, which was better than the standard weapons of the Green Camp.

The quick knife and short bow on the hand of Qu Jie, compared with the nineteen sharp weapons of Huo Qiu, could almost be said to be broken copper and iron, and even Liu Chang's eyes lit up: "Brother Huo Qiu, you have helped Liu a lot!"

Huo Qiu knelt down to Liu Chang again: "You are too polite. The villain offended the villain and deserves to be killed. I hope the villain is quite straightforward, so I will spare the villain!"

"Where are you talking, what are you talking about!" Liu Chang asked again: "With your help, it's like a tiger with wings. I'll ask you if you can get some more weapons, especially bird guns, gunpowder, and lead, which is particularly important!"

Huo Qiuying said: "The villain hid a few bird guns in the countryside. Because of the powerful weapons of military and nationality, he dared not bring them into the city. If it was a quick knife and spear, the villain had a blacksmith shop in the city. These nineteen weapons were made privately by the villain's blacksmith shop."

Liu Chang was overjoyed: "Blacksmith shop? Let me ask you, can you build such a spear?"

As he said that, Liu Chang had already made a detailed look of the spear.
