Chapter 236 See Through

The doubtful look in Huang An's eyes seemed to Luo Feiyao like a kind of contempt.

I despise her for being so stupid.

This made Luo Feiyao want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

She felt that Huang An was wondering why she asked such a stupid question.

As Luo Feiyao was immersed, no one spoke anymore.

Huang Anjing drank tea quietly and watched the blue sky gradually reveal itself in the distance.

The dark clouds are about to dissipate and the sun is about to appear.

When tomorrow passes, the entire Feng'an City will completely change!

Huang An's thoughts drifted outside the city, to the big locust tree village where he was busy doing some work.

As a fiefdom of Huang'an, Dahuaishuzhuang inevitably fell into decline after a population migration.

However, there are still four to five hundred people living in the village today.

The production model of the small-scale farmer economy allows their family to store enough food for the whole family to eat and drink for one year, or even two and a half years.

After all, Huang An had never collected grain at Dahuaishu Village.

What Huang An didn't know was that before he came, the grain reserves of Dahuaishu Village had not been confiscated.

In fact, this Zhuangzi already had an owner, but he had his beard cut off.

But now, the food collection team has finally arrived.

After Zhang Rang passed the news on, the entire Dahuaishu Village was in chaos.

This day has come, and these officials will not let them go.

Fortunately, along with the news about the requisition of grain, there was also news about spending money to buy grain.

As the village head with the highest status in the entire Dahuaishuzhuang, Zhang Rang took out the silver given to him by Huang An and a large bag of scattered copper coins in front of his father and fellow villagers.

Then, in front of the real villagers, he directly announced the news of buying grain from the villagers at market prices.

In this way, the comments, cries, and screams were replaced by laughter and laughter before they could spread far.

Spend money to buy?

Is there such a great thing?!

Many people in the family moved away before, leaving a lot of food rations for no one to eat. Seeing that the harvest season is approaching this year, the family's remaining food has not been used up yet.

They also plan to organize people before the end of the year, when the price of food is good, to transport the food to the city and sell it in exchange for some money to subsidize the family.

Who would have thought that Master Huang An would actually solve this problem for them.

In the village, the food was collected right in front of them.

There are weighing tools in the village. Zhang Rang and Meng Yun organized the young and old in the village to collect grain from each household in the relatively empty grain drying ground.

These grains will be temporarily stored in this grain drying ground. When the unified collection is completed, they will be transported to the city at an appropriate opportunity.

The villagers in Dahuaishuzhuang were very excited. They pulled out the remaining grain one by one and queued up to wait for the weighing.

Zhang Rang is responsible for organizing manpower and maintaining order.

And with the help of Wang Lung's brothers, he checked the quality of the grain to prevent these unscrupulous people from committing fraud.

What they checked was to put sand and stones in the grain bags to increase the weight, or to replace the new grain with moldy old grain.

Meng Yun weighed the food in person, kept accounts in person, and settled the money for selling the grain in person.

Some people can pull out two to three hundred kilograms, and some can even pull out two thousand kilograms.

Zhang Rang's family is the most prosperous in Dahuaishu Village. It can be said that his family is the landlord of Dahuaishu Village.

Many people in his family moved away, so there was more food left, weighing three thousand kilograms.

According to the market price and the quality of each store's grain, Meng Yun made the decision and gave the villagers a relatively fair price.

A pound of grain costs 1.5 cents. If the quality of the grain is very good, you can get 2 cents per pound.

Anyone who dares to commit fraud will be hung up and beaten, and their food will be confiscated.

A villager with a small number can get more than 300 Wen, and a villager with a large number can even get 4 or 5 taels of silver.

As for those who were beaten, no one would sympathize with them.

If he can even deceive his own village chief and his own people, he deserves to be beaten to death.

Zhang Rang and Meng Yun are both busy, not to mention the rest of the people who are responsible for collecting grain. They are just here to work.

Under the arrangement of these two people, they organized the warehouse, dehumidified and dehumidified it, or helped carry food.

Some were even arranged to settle rented horses and livestock, and even cut grass.

Now, the only ones left with free time are Wang Long, Liu Hai and Tang Shi, three bronze-skin realm warriors.

The three of them were squatting under the shade of a tree, eating fruits picked in the village and chatting.

Liu Hai noticed the behavior of Zhang Rang and Meng Yun. The more he looked at it, the weirder it became. The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.

"Brother Wang, this is wrong."

"How to say?

Wang Long was smiling, with no strange expression on his face.

"Brother Huang said, didn't you ask us to transport the grain? Why now that we have bought all the grain, we need to organize the warehouse."

"Shouldn't we go back as soon as it gets dark? There will be a banquet tomorrow, and we need all the food! If we continue to delay like this, we won't be able to get back before dark."

Zhang Shi's question is also Yao Liang's question.

The two of them and Wang Lung were close friends, and their lives depended on each other. Seeing that Wang Lung didn't answer for a long time, when he saw the expression on his face, he immediately realized that there was a secret that the two of them didn't know about in this matter.

Wang Long glanced sideways at the two brothers, then suddenly let out a groan, sat down on the grass, leaned his back against the big tree, stretched his legs straight, and lay down.

After lying down, he patted his thigh and twisted his neck, with a painful expression on his face, and he frowned in pain and pretended to be in pain.

"My legs are sore and my arms hurt after walking for a long time!"

Zhang Shi and Yao Liang were immediately speechless, but from Wang Long's reaction, they also knew that Brother Wang really knew more than them.

They immediately laughed, one pinched his arm, and the other rubbed his thigh. The two of them had fawning expressions on their faces, and at this moment, they reached an agreement.

"Hey, Brother Wang, can you tell me?"

Wang Long looked away and saw that Zhang Rang and Meng Yun didn't notice the three of them. He looked left and right again, and then whispered:

"Do you think we need three warriors from the Bronze Skin Realm to come together to pull food outside the city?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shi and Yao Liang froze.

Zhang Shi frowned and said tentatively: "Maybe there are thieves blocking the road outside Feng'an City and robbing, and Brother Huang is worried about being in danger!"

Wang Long chuckled and shook his head.

"There are only a few copper-skin-level warriors in the entire Feng'an City. Now, except for Ding Zhi, the manager of the Martial Arts Department, they are all dead. As long as they are warriors, they can run rampant in and outside the city. Haha."

"You two think that the thieves outside the city are all desperate guys who dare to rob our border troops of more than fifty people?"

His words stunned Zhang Shi and Yao Liang.

Zhang Shi reacted quickly and said with a surprised look on his face:

"That's right, even without the three of us. With Zhang Rang and Meng Yun leading the team, they can resist any force. Even warriors in the Bronze Skin Realm are unlikely to offend the army because of these grains.

Wu people."

Both of them reacted.

I didn't think much about it before arriving at Dahuaishuzhuang, thinking that they were just here to collect grain and transport it back.

But after Wang Long's reminder, they were horrified to think about it now.

Fortunately, there are still smart people around them who can help them answer their questions.

"Brother Wang, tell me, what is going on? Is it possible that Brother Huang sent us out of the city for another mission?"

Wang Long suddenly laughed out loud and joked: "Hey, you're not too stupid."

He pursed his lips towards Zhang Rang and Meng Yun who were busy in the distance and said:

"Both of them are the direct descendants of Brother Huang. Although I am the leader of the team, in fact, this is just a false name given to me by my brother to take care of the face of our three brothers. What is the team going to do?

, it all depends on the two of them, and the three of us must also obey the orders coming from their mouths."

Zhang Shi and Yao Liang thought for a while and nodded in approval.

"Brother Huang is very attentive and takes care of our face, haha! To be honest, Brother Huang is really nice."

"Zhang Rang and Meng Yun should have received other orders from Brother Huang. The three of us are just waiting. They can't get around the three of us when doing things."

The reactions of Zhang Shi and Yao Liang made Wang Long smile bitterly in his heart.

These two guys didn't get angry because they were looked down upon. Instead, they defended Huang An and spoke for Huang An in every word.

This was almost unimaginable before.

Huang An was just a warrior in the Six Fu realm, a close relative they had always looked down upon before.

Zhang Rang and Meng Yun are just warriors in the Six Fu realm, little guys they can kill with one slap.

But what now?

These two guys immediately started to defend Huang An.

He even recognized from the bottom of his heart the fact that Meng Yun and Zhang Rang were directing them to do things.

Brother Huang's influence and appeal are indeed terrifying.

"Brother Huang's character is really hard to say."

Wang Long looked at the two brothers beside him and praised them casually.

As for the unwillingness and sadness in his heart, only he himself knows.

In the past, he thought that all the people he had connections with were incompetent and their abilities were definitely not as good as those of people like him, but now, Huang An directly shattered his perception.

It turns out that, apart from not being as good as Huang An in terms of relationship and background, the gap in ability between him and Huang An is still very obvious.

Compared with the high-minded connections I have encountered in the past, a big brother like Huang An can't even be found holding a lantern.

They don't need to flatter themselves, which sounds disgusting to them, and they don't need to give up their dignity as Bronze-skin realm martial arts masters.

As long as they follow Huang An's orders carefully, they can get what they want - money, as well as the luxurious respect and recognition of the superiors.

In the past, they were skeptical about the possibility of the existence of connections like Huang An.

But now, I am convinced.

"We probably won't be able to go back today, so let's have a good rest. Zhang Rang and Meng Yun should be able to tell us what to do. They are pretty good, just listen to them."

Wang Long made the final decision, which reassured the two brothers.

Sure enough, it wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that they all put all the grain in the Big Sophora Tree Village into the warehouse.

The brothers each found a shade of a tree, squatted or stood, and ate their late lunch.

It took nearly five hours of work to collect a Zhuangzi's grain. Even the slowest person could react.

I definitely won't be able to go back to the city tonight.

After all, there are still two villages to run, and there will definitely be no time.

I don’t know what the leading brothers are thinking. Aren’t they afraid of being punished by Brother Huang An if they are late?

However, this matter should not be their concern. Since the superiors above are not in a hurry, then they are not in a hurry either.

After lunch, everyone took a short rest. Fortunately, there was no bright sun today, otherwise they would be too lazy to move now.

Zhang Rang and Meng Yun, who had received Huang An's secret order, naturally knew many of its secrets, and harvesting grain was just a cover.

However, this pretense still needs to be more realistic.

Therefore, after communicating with Wang Long and the others for a while, he announced the second order.
