Chapter 3: Staying Green Mountains Don't Be Afraid of No Money
Soon, Luo Mazi led a group of people into the city. Their men were already guarding the city gate, and there were also people who climbed onto the top of the city.
After seeing Luo Mazi and others ascending to the city without any accidents, Lin Ziran waved his hand and started leading people into the city!
As he approached the city gate on horseback, Lin Ziran was still cautious.
Just waiting for him to enter the city, all the expected accidents did not happen, which made him initially relieved.
No matter what the officials of Qingshan Town think, now that they have entered the city, they are no longer up to them.
He immediately led the people forward and soon met a group of officials from Qingshan Town!
At this time, Wang Jinquan and others on the opposite side also came with others. As soon as they arrived, they quickly raised their hands and said, "I have seen Master Lin!"
Lin Ziran nodded slightly and said yes!
Luo Mazi could be arrogant, but he, Lin Ziran, was pretending to be a lower-ranking official, so naturally he had to have the air of a superior official, so when he spoke, he seemed polite, but in fact he just nodded slightly, looking arrogant.
Wang Jinquan immediately said: "I have already sent people to mobilize the military supplies. Sir, please wait for a moment. The military supplies will be delivered in a short time!"
Lin Ziran only spoke at this time: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, don't be in a hurry, take your time!"
These are not polite words, but Lin Ziran's sincere words.
Since he has taken such a big risk to defraud food, he has to make a big profit. Only with enough money and food can he and his team be better able to gain a foothold in this troubled world.
Although he had many worries before, after entering the city, he found that the defense in the town was sparse and there were not many officers and soldiers. The more than 100 people under his command were able to completely control the area near the city gate.
At this time, he naturally had some thoughts.
It's a rare opportunity, it's a good idea to get a little more, otherwise there won't be this store after passing this village.
So he showed some color to Luo Mazi, and Luo Mazi immediately stood up again and said loudly: "My army is about to enter the mountain to suppress the bandits, and it needs a lot. You guys will prepare 30,000 kilograms of food immediately.
A thousand Hengyuan, a hundred livestock, a thousand chickens and ducks!”
Hearing this, Wang Jinquan and others on the opposite side were surprised and happy!
Fortunately, these officers and soldiers seemed to be just passing by to ask for military supplies, otherwise they would not ask for so many things in one mouth!
Surprisingly, these officers and soldiers have really big appetites!
Thirty thousand kilograms of grain, five thousand hengyuan, plus livestock, chickens and ducks. How can a small Qingshan town have so many things?
The food was good enough, although I couldn't scrape together 30,000 jins, but I could still scrape together 10,000 jins.
But with so much money and meat, where would they get these officers and soldiers?
In the past half month, their own group had packed away all the silver and gold coins in the official warehouses, and also used various names to distribute them to the wealthy gentry and even ordinary people in the city. This was only
It only cost more than 2,000 constant yuan.
Five thousand hengyuan, I guess even if I ransacked the entire Qingshan Town, I wouldn't be able to get that much money.
There is also meat, which is more difficult to obtain than ordinary grain or even gold and silver!
So Wang Jinquan just said with a sad face: "Sir, our Qingshan Town is just a small place, we really can't get so many things together!"
After hearing this, Lin Ziran's expression turned serious and he remained silent.
Luo Mazi, the loser, naturally stood up and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just take it out if you are told, otherwise you will be able to see it!"
But Wang Jinquan still looked sad!
It’s not that I don’t want to take it, it’s just that there really aren’t that many.
Besides, Wang Jinquan and the others also came here with the intention of making a fortune. They managed to plunder more than two thousand constant yuan, how could they give it away so easily?
If they were all given away, wouldn't they be very busy?
Seeing Wang Jinquan's expression, Lin Ziran looked around at the situation in the town, and the appearance of Qingshan Town made him feel that what Wang Jinquan said was true.
I'm afraid this Qingshan Town really can't afford so much money and food.
This Qingshan Town is said to be a town, but in fact it has a population of only a thousand people, and there are only a few simple streets. The main street in front of the city gate is still a dirt road, and it is not too wide. Although there are shops on both sides, it looks like
It doesn't look like a prosperous place.
Such a small town in a remote area probably can't afford so much money and food.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Lin Ziran said: "People's livelihood is not easy. In this case, Sergeant Luo, lower the quantity appropriately and don't make it difficult for Mr. Wang!"
Luo Mazi immediately said: "My lord, that's what you said!"
Afterwards, he walked up to Wang Jinquan and started bargaining. However, Lin Ziran was still a junior official at this time and a serious official, so naturally he would not participate in these matters.
Luo Mazi and Wang Jinquan talked for a while, and then the amount of money and food was determined.
There is a reason why it was determined so quickly.
Luo Mazi naturally knew what the boss, Lin Ziran, was thinking, which was to take as much as he could. He took the money and food and left to avoid any complications.
As for Wang Jinquan, they also felt that this group of officers and soldiers coming into the city was a trouble. If these officers and soldiers were allowed to stay for a long time, they might be exposed. Besides, the money and food were not their own, so it would be difficult to deliver them.
I felt heartbroken, so I just gave in, thinking of sending these plague gods away as soon as possible.
Both parties were willing to make concessions, so the discussion was naturally quick and the figures were finalized in no time.
After the conversation, Wang Jinquan and the others took their leave and said they were going to raise money and food.
Luo Mazi returned to Lin Ziran and said as if he wanted to take credit: "Master, this government is really fat. We asked them for a full 10,000 kilograms of grain, and they also agreed to give us two thousand hengyuan!"
Lin Ziran didn't take it seriously. This was a town after all. Although the population in the town was small, the surrounding areas were also under the jurisdiction of Qingshan Town. It was nothing if the local government could provide tens of thousands of kilograms of food. Even he felt that the money was a bit expensive.
not enough.
But at this time, he didn't care anymore, and immediately said: "Send someone to follow us to transport money and food, especially food, to prevent them from causing trouble!"
After the arrangements were made, he settled directly in the barracks near the city gate.
There is a row of wooden houses near the city gate, which were originally the campsites of the city's defenders, but now they have been vacated.
Although this military camp is a bit small, it can still accommodate a hundred people if it is squeezed tightly. At the same time, it can control the city gate and the city head nearby. If something changes, it can be retreated in time. It is a good place to stay temporarily.
At this time, Wang Jinquan and the others were also walking back.
An officer and soldier walked here and said: "These officers and soldiers are too ruthless. They want so many things. The food is nothing. We can't take so much anyway, but we worked hard to get more than two thousand Heng."
Yuan, this is a good time, I will give away two thousand yuan at once!"
However, Wang Jinquan said: "What are you afraid of? If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of not having money to harvest them!"
"First use the money and food to send these officers and soldiers away. Once those officers and soldiers leave, this Qingshan Town will no longer belong to our brothers. Then it will be more difficult to make money!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the boss is right, send these officers and soldiers away first!"
"But what if they refuse to leave?"
Hearing this, Wang Jinquan stopped immediately!
At the same time, Luo Mazi stood next to Lin Ziran in the city gate military camp, fanning Lin Ziran with a folding fan and said: "The boss, from a small perspective, this Qingshan Town is quite good, how about we stay here?
A little longer?”
Lin Ziran stood up after hearing this, stretched out his hand and took the folding fan from Luo Mazi's hand.
When Luo Mazi saw this, he thought Lin Ziran was going to slap him with a fan, so he quickly said: "Master, please calm down. The younger ones are all talking nonsense, nonsense!"
However, Lin Ziran was already fanning himself with a folding fan and said: "Stay, it's not impossible!"
