Chapter 280 Food Handover
That night, at Fangxian Port Wharf, the waves hit the reefs on the shore. Qin Sheng and Qin Zhao led a team of men to prepare for the battle.
After the transaction between Lu Songli and Ji Wuyin was completed, Ji Wuyin gave them the exact location and time of delivery, and the confidant butler Liu Xiaohuai led Lu Songli's men to pick up and unload the goods.
"Here's here!"
Liu Xiaohuai took Qin Sheng and Wu Ren and others to board the ship first to meet Lin Shan, the person in charge of the fleet.
After the ship stopped, Lin Shan stretched his waist and said to his deputy beside him, "I finally had no danger and transported the batch of food from Ji Daxiu to Liaodong County."
The deputy laughed, "We are also lucky."
Lin Shan nodded and shouted loudly, "My sons, cheer up. After the goods are unloaded, I will ask someone to prepare the wine and have a good drink!"
Liu Xiaohuai happened to come and took the conversation immediately, "Deputy Gang Master Lin, we have invited this wine to reward you all brothers."
Lin Shan laughed, "Then we won't be polite to you, Butler Liu."
Time is urgent, and Liu Xiaohuai directly communicated with Linshan about stopping the ship and docking and unloading the goods.
Lin Shan saw a handsome and handsome young man following Liu Xiaohuai, but the other party had no intention of introducing him, and he didn't say much.
After Liu Xiaohuai and Lin Shan communicated, Qin Zhao and Qin Sheng and others were able to unload the food.
Ships carrying grain were lined up on the river to unload the goods by the docking and then carry out supply work.
Under the leadership of Qin Sheng and others, the soldiers began to board the ship, transport grain, and deliver grain.
Bags of grain were unloaded from the cabin and piled on the dock, but soon the grain piled on the dock was transported away immediately.
The crew members didn't need the crew's help at all, and the crew members watched from the side.
Those with vision can see some tricks, "Are these soldiers?"
The well-trained movement power and the evil spirit on them are not something that ordinary laborers can do on the dock.
"No wonder it's so fast."
Lin Shan asked Liu Xiaohuai curiously, "Who is the owner of Ji Daxiu's transaction this time? He actually used the army to transport grain."
Their local customs in the southern part of the country add a ten thousand words to the surname of the wealthy businessman to show respect and also means that this is the meaning of a rich man. In addition, there are also names such as Qiji, Langguan, and Xiu to distinguish the level of the wealthy businessman.
Among them, Xiu is the highest level, and the property that can reach Xiu must be more than ten thousand yuan. Ji Wuyin is the eldest in his family, so he is in the south and is respected as Ji Daxiu.
Liu Xiaohuai only said, "If you shouldn't ask, ask less."
Lin Shan said he understood.
Liu Xiaohuai asked him again, "It's okay for you to go north this way? Didn't you encounter any danger?"
Lin Shan: "There is no danger."
Liu Xiaohuai looked at him, and the deputy next to him answered, "It's true that he was in danger. He met two water bandits halfway. Fortunately, we brought enough people to the north this time. Both sides once had close contact, and the other party probably found an idea.
I couldn't eat it, and I wandered for half an hour before I left reluctantly."
It’s just that the goal of these 20,000 stones of grain is too big. I hope Ji Daxiu won’t mess with such big goods when he returns.
The other party gave up so easily because they found that these goods were all food. For the water bandits, they did not lack food now, so they naturally did not think that the food was precious. The food was too bulky, unlike valuable items such as jewelry, gold and silver.
Snatch it and run away.
The speaker has no intention, and the listener has his heart.
Qin Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Are there also water bandits on the water?
The Qin family has always lived in the inland world and occasionally heard of water bandits. At that time, their Qin family was responsible for guarding the northern border. Without this trouble, they just let it go.
After arriving in Liaodong County, Qin Sheng heard the word "Shui Bandits" again.
He was worried that after cleaning up the rest of the Liaodong County clans, where should he go to make money for his wife? Isn’t that the case?
But they don't have a ship...
Qin Sheng looked at the big ships on the river with longing eyes, wanting to...
As soon as the grain was transported back, Wu Ren came to report the news, "Mrs. Qin Liu, the grain has been transported back, a full 20,000 stones!"
Lu Songli ordered, "Storage 10,000 of them for emergencies, and give another 10,000 stones to Houcheng three thousand stones and another seven thousand stones to Wangping, Wuwu County, Liaoyang County, Gao Xian
county."
Wu Ren quickly calculated that Houcheng occupied 3,000 stones of grain, and the other four counties could get about 2,000 stones.
As the new central city of Liaodong County, Houcheng has a poor foundation and needs them to provide more preferential and support to help it establish its status in Liaodong County.
The other four counties surround Houcheng and are closest to Houcheng. The bandits in the county were removed (Gaoxian County is eliminating bandits). The people bought grain and were not worried about being robbed.
For the people in Houcheng and the rural areas of nearby counties and towns, this day was an ordinary but unusual day.
Qingshui Village in Gaoxian County
Many of the villagers worked in the field, killing crops and catching insects.
At this time, an old man walked from the entrance of the village with his back hunched over.
Someone recognized the old man's identity and greeted him, "Uncle Hu, I'm back in the county. Has the price of grain in the county been reduced?"
The rest of the people caught the sensitive word "food prices" and stopped their work and looked at them.
Uncle Hu shook his head and sighed, "What's the price cut? A bucket of grain has been sold for 300 cents. I can't afford it. This is still ordinary grain, and good grain is more than this price."
His words made the listener feel heavy.
"I think the price of grain will rise. Let's save some food at home. If you have money, you can buy some more." After Uncle Hu said, he put his hands behind his back and prepared to walk home.
"Uncle Hu said this, where is the remaining money at home?"
"This grain can no longer be saved. Every meal is made thin and you can count the rice grains."
"Oh, when will such a day end?"
"I heard that Houcheng, Wangping and Wuwu County are recruiting people to serve. During the service, the government provides free good soup."
"Is this true?"
"It's true, two meals a day, one bowl per person, sometimes stewed with meat and bones, and sometimes seaweed egg flower soup. I heard it tastes very good."
"I heard about it too. I don't know when it will be our turn in Gaomin County?"
The villagers all showed their yearning expressions.
In previous years, the people avoided the service. Now, in order to save some food for two bowls of free soup a day, they want to go to serve early in order to save some food for their families.
At this moment, a young man came from outside and greeted everyone, "Hurry, everyone, go to the town! There is cheap grain in the grain and oil store of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce in the town! It is on sale at the time, so hurry up."
"Cheap food? How cheap?"
"One dou, one hundred words."
Someone muttered, "This price is the same as before."
Uncle Hu scolded the other party with a stern face, "Don't behave like a cheap person, it used to be the past, when is it now? People are willing to sell a hundred yuan per bucket, which is eighty yuan cheaper than the current grain store! You still want to
How about it? Give it to you for free?"
"It's not moldy food so cheap, right?"
The young man said, "No, I have seen it. Food is good. If you want to buy grain, remember to bring your household registration book! Those who don't bring your household registration book will not be allowed to buy food."
"Is the one that the government asked to handle when the population was counted a while ago?"
"Yes, that's that."
"Okay, I'll get it."
"It's broken. My family thinks it's troublesome and can't do it. What should I do next?"
At that time, the government counted the population and applied for household registration, but the Yang family thought they were smart and hid out and couldn't do it.
"Go to the government office to re-issue it. Otherwise, you won't be able to buy food!"
"Uncle Hu, I have to go to inform the next village, so I won't tell you more. Everyone notifies each other in the village, and those who have purchased a household registration book are limited to three kilograms of grain each person."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Go back and buy food with your household registration book!"
"Don't be too slow, go quickly. Everyone is limited to purchasing three kilograms of grain, and the designated number will be sold out soon. I don't know when the food will come again in the future."
Chapter completed!
