Xu Wei then raided the entire market. Regardless of the items, Xu Wei bought them at two to three times the price. The entire market was buzzing with rumors that rich people were raiding agricultural products, and the surrounding villagers were trying their best to tell them.
Relatives, let them come over to make a fortune, it takes decades to meet such a fool!
Then Xu Wei bought all the farmer's uncle's ox carts at twice the price, and said loudly: "Whoever has an ox cart, I will buy the cart at twice the price!"
When Xu Wei behaved like this, Old Man Wang and the others immediately ran over and tried to stop him: "Captain, although we have some money now, we still have to support more than 200,000 people. If you continue to waste your family like this, what should we do when we get to Yanmen County?"
live?"
Xu Weifan'er track: "Making money is my strongest ability! And if we can't escape the pursuit, no matter how much money we have, it will only be kept for the imperial court."
Old man Wang thought about the year he spent with Xu Wei, and found that they had never been short of money. Xu Wei always had a way to get money. Zhang Niujiao and the others confiscated the homes of the powerful nobles in Jizhou and exterminated them, and most of the money they got went into
It got into Xu Wei's pocket.
But Old Man Wang still said sadly: "But you can't spend it carelessly like this!"
Xu Weidao: "This is not a waste of money. Watch it, Mr. Wang. There will be more and more markets like this in the future, and our logistics will be taken care of by these people."
Then he said solemnly: "We have not escaped the pursuit of the Han army. The methods of the local people can save us a lot of time and increase the marching speed. Relatively speaking, spending this small amount of money is nothing."
After hearing Xu Wei's explanation, Old Man Wang and the others stopped talking.
And Xu Wei's method did work. When the people of Bingzhou knew that an enemy was passing by their place, they all looked forward to it. Everywhere they went, the people would spontaneously form a market and eat the food they couldn't bear to eat.
, all the good things that you can’t bear to drink are put on the table.
A large number of vegetables, fruits, grains, eggs, etc. were placed, waiting for Xu Wei and the others to arrive.
Xu Wei did not disappoint them. Every time he came here, he would buy their agricultural products at double the price.
The behavior of the people in Bingzhou helped Xu Wei and others save a lot of food and cooking time. Originally they could only march 20 miles a day, but since the formation of these bazaars, Xu Wei's large army can walk more than 30 miles a day.
Efficiency increased by more than 50%.
For these villagers, the arrival of Xu Wei and the others was like a holiday. At this time, the entire Bingzhou population was actually less than one million, and Taiyuan, the most populous city, only had about 200,000 people, which is equivalent to the number of Xu Wei's current subordinates.
.
And Xu Wei has 10,000 kilograms of gold in his hands, as well as a large amount of other gold and silver jewelry. It can be said that 10% of the wealth of the Jizhou clan is in Xu Wei's hands. The most important thing is that Xu Wei is also willing to spend the money.
For these villages from all over the country, there are more than 200,000 high-spending people. The money they make at the market is enough to cover their expenses for a year. The days will naturally be much better in the future, and the villagers will naturally be like
I am as happy as I am during the holidays. I don’t care whether the Yellow Turban thief is a Yellow Turban thief or not.
When Xu Wei's large army arrived in Taiyuan County, a village chief in the market showed his Shanxi businessman's mind and actually calculated the time when Xu Wei and others arrived and had all the meals ready for more than 200,000 people.
When we drove into this market, everyone could smell the aroma of hot rice.
"Lei Gongqushuai, our meals are large and delicious, and they are still hot. How about you let your subordinates finish their meals before leaving?"
Wang Lei and the others were all hungry, and Xu Wei could only say: "Bring me all your good food and rice."
Hou Zhi threw a piece of horseshoe gold directly to the village chief and said, "This is the deposit!"
The village chief, who had never seen gold before, was almost overjoyed.
He immediately assured Xu Wei: "The people in our village are the most honest from all over the country. I guarantee that Leigong Qushuai will not suffer any loss."
I don’t know where these villagers got the news. When they knew that there was a village that had earned several kilograms of gold just from food, it caused a sensation in all the villages. It was like a flowing river of gold.
!
The markets that followed followed suit, taking advantage of the time Xu Wei and the others came to cook. And Xu Wei did not disappoint them, basically leaving several pieces of horseshoe gold in every market!
Now it's better, Xu Wei and the others don't even need time to cook. They start eating when the time comes and leave after finishing.
When they got to the back, even Xu Wei's team didn't even need to set up camp. The villagers either gave up their houses directly, or offered help or set up simple tents, and even wooden houses came out in the back.
And Xu Wei didn't care about the size of these houses. One night's stay was only 100 yuan. This price drove the villagers crazy. In order to make money, they gave up all their houses. They were willing to let the whole family be eaten by mosquitoes in the wild to make money.
It can be said that in order to make money, there is nothing that Xu Wei can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do.
Moreover, after knowing that Xu Wei could make more than double the money here, the horse dealers in Bingzhou brought their own horses to trade with Xu Wei. Many of them were even Huns, bringing hundreds of horses with them at a time.
In just a few days, Xu Wei collected more than 2,000 horses, as well as a large number of horse carriages and ox carts from the villagers.
With these horses and carriages, and the logistics being contracted by the residents of Bingzhou, the marching speed once again surged to 40 miles a day, which is not much slower than the walking speed of the general army, and can be accommodated in the rooms of the common people.
Fatigue has also been reduced a lot.
At the same time, on the other side of Huguan Pass, Liu Yu brought his troops to Hukou Pass and found that Xu Wei had actually arranged for 3,000 people to be stationed.
He attacked several times, and each time crossbow arrows rained down, and rocks the size of human heads fell like hailstones. He attacked twice and lost 1,000 soldiers, which made Liu Yu understand that if he wanted to capture this pass
, it is impossible to break through in less than ten days and with tens of thousands of people dead.
Shen Pei once again suggested that Gongsun Zan lead the cavalry from Wei County across the Yellow River and go upstream. If Xu Wei's army really went south to Hanoi County, Gongsun Zan's cavalry could just stop Xu Wei. If Xu Wei went north, Gongsun Zan would lead the cavalry north to Bingzhou.
, go to Shangdang County to the west of Hukou Pass, and then attack Hukou Pass from two sides!
Liu Yu approved the strategy of judging and matching, and asked Gongsun Zan to lead 10,000 cavalry to rush to the Yellow River and go straight upstream to Hanoi County.
Although Gongsun Zan's cavalry was fast, the detour was thousands of miles long, and it had already been 10 days of galloping.
