Chapter 40, the most powerful golden finger of the traversers
Wang Lei said with a smile: "The noble families in Bingzhou are as cowardly as mice. I haven't planned to attack their Wubao yet. Instead, they sent money and food. They just asked us not to attack their Wubao."
Xu Wei said with a smile: "It is their nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. If we are stronger than them, they will naturally be afraid. But now we have no time to deal with them. We will deal with them when we become stronger."
Wang Lei said: "Captain, although Shangdang County is not as prosperous as Jizhou, it is still a good place, and the terrain is relatively dangerous. As long as we occupy a few passes, the Han army will not be able to get in. We might as well occupy this place and forget about the whole situation."
There are not even 3,000 people in Shangdang County, so it is not difficult to occupy it."
Compared with Yanmen County, a remote frontier place, Wang Lei felt that although Shangdang was also poor, it was still bearable. However, when Yanmen County thought about facing the Huns and Xianbei people, he felt worried. They were really not a good people.
place!
Not only Wang Lei thinks like this, but Niu Gui, Wang Laohan, and Niu Laohan also think like this. After all, they are people from the prosperous Jizhou and do not want to go to the desolate frontier. They all look at Xu Wei expectantly, hoping that Xu Wei will let them stay.
here.
But Xu Wei shook his head firmly and said: "We can't stay here. Shangdang County is still too close to Luoyang. It is impossible for the court to let us occupy this place. We have to continue to Yanmen County! We can only go to Yanmen
Only then will we disappear from the court's sight and have time to develop and grow."
At this stage, the military power of the Han Dynasty is still strong. Unless the refugees in his hands escape to the mountains, they will not be the opponents of the Han army. However, it will be difficult to develop and grow if they go to the mountains. Xu Wei, who has modern knowledge, lacks
It is just a piece of land, and the border land is obviously a place that cannot be taken into account by the current strength of the Han Dynasty. This is the reason why Xu Wei chose Yanmen County. The cold and desolation is nothing, because he is confident to build it no matter where it is.
Xu Wei also knew that Wang Lei and the others despised the cold and bitter conditions in the frontier areas and said: "We have hands and feet. As long as we are not exploited by corrupt officials, we can build a prosperous city even in cold and hard places. We were hiding in Zhongshan County
The small valley is not the same as the barren mountains, but through the efforts of a few hundred of us, the small upper valley is different and prosperous, and now that we have hundreds of thousands of people, we will definitely be able to build a paradise that is not inferior to Jizhou."
The small valley of Zhongshan Kingdom was a rare happy moment in Wang Lei's life. When Xu Wei said this, they all looked nostalgic. They thought that the original town was created under Xu Wei's command.
"I believe in the captain!" They have seen Xu Wei's abilities before, and they don't think Xu Wei can't do all this.
After unifying everyone's thoughts, Xu Wei began to spend a lot of money to purchase horses, carriages, ox carts and other supplies in Tunliu County.
After all, there were 30,000 troops chasing them behind them, and he wanted to use these transportation tools to speed up their march.
Because Xu Wei and the others traded fairly and did not do anything wrong to the people, the people of Tunliu County soon lost their fear of Xu Wei and the others.
Many people even started doing business with them. People who owned carriages and horses found that Xu Wei actually bought their carriages and horses at double the price. The high profits made them sell their second-hand carriages and oxen carts to Xu Wei.
Great them.
In Bingzhou, carriages and horses were not only plentiful, but also very cheap. Xu Wei purchased hundreds of broken carriages and thousands of horses in Tunliu.
Then a large army of 200,000 people dragged these belongings and continued to set off north, but the speed was very slow. The team was as majestic as a long dragon, and it only marched about 20 miles in a day.
Xu Wei worriedly said: "This won't work. There are still 30,000 Han troops chasing us behind us. At this speed, we will definitely be overtaken."
Xu Wei remembers the story of leading people across the river in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Liu Bei was once again killed by Cao Cao and his entire army was annihilated. Although their speed is now faster than in the romance, it is only 200 miles in 10 days. With Gongsun Zan's cavalry
The speed is the speed that can be caught up in one day. He asked the Hukou Pass soldiers to guard for 10 days, and he couldn't waste them all here. He had to find a way to increase the marching speed.
Old man Wang next to Xu Wei looked at the long queue and said: "After all, there are 200,000 people, so we can't go any faster! Unless we can get 20,000 carriages!"
The current speed is all because there are a large number of wheelbarrows, horse-drawn carriages, and ox-carts in Xu Wei's team. The elderly, weak, women, and children can sit on the horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts!
Niu Gui came over and reported to Xu Weihui: "Captain, there is a market in front of us. Should we repair it in front?"
Xu Wei nodded!
Not long after, Xu Wei saw this market. It should have been established spontaneously by the villagers here, and this market was established not long ago. Xu Wei could see that the open ground was full of weeds.
Xu Wei walked to an old man's fruit stall, bought his fruit, and then asked: "Uncle, we are the Yellow Turban Army passing by here, why didn't you hide?"
The old man smiled and said: "The Yellow Turban Army trades fairly and will not bully the people. That's why we come here. And the reason why this market was established is because we know you are coming. This is a team of hundreds of thousands of people. The entire Bingzhou
Even the largest cities don’t have this many people. If we build a market where you pass by, nothing will be sold out!”
Xu Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He could only give a thumbs up. He didn't know whether he agreed with the old man's vision or his boldness.
But perhaps because of the example of the old man and others, and because Xu Wei and others quickly wiped out everything in the market, more and more villagers are transporting their own fruits and vegetables to the market for sale.
Seeing such a strange scene, Xu Wei frowned and said, "How come you seem to have encountered such a plot before?"
After he thought about it for a long time, he finally recalled that it seemed that there was such a plot in the film. He had also forgotten the protagonist, but he remembered that in order to save marching time, the protagonist seemed to have asked the people around him to help him replenish supplies and act as a logistics force.
"It seems like I can do this too!" Xu Wei said with a little excitement.
He seemed to have found a way to speed up his march.
"Sure enough, for time travellers, the knowledge in their heads is the most powerful golden finger!"
"Auntie, how much do your eggs cost?"
The aunt said: "Three for five baht each!"
Xu Wei threw down a handful of five baht coins and said, "I bought them all for five baht coins each!"
After speaking, he handed the aunt's basket of eggs to the soldier behind him and said: "The extra money is considered a basket of money!"
The aunt looked at Xu Wei's proud look and didn't know what to say.
