Ever since everyone in Dapandun had a meal of pork wontons together, all the Dunjun soldiers and their family members felt that they were much closer to each other, especially Liu Yan. Everyone felt that Liu Yan was their leader. Dapandun Dun's people's hearts condensed a lot. This made Liu Dayu very dissatisfied, but he was helpless.
Two days later, Liu Yan got up early in the morning, dressed up and finished another set of boxing. Then Liu Yan saw Liu Dayu wandering out of the room. Wang Yue, who was pouring a chamber pot at the side, saw this and leaned forward. The two of them didn't know what they were joking about, and walked towards the observation deck together. go.
Liu Yan wiped his sweat, then called Liu Dayu and said: "Yesterday evening I received a message from the Baihu Government Office. Today is the day when rations are distributed in Yandun and Tunbao in various places in Wangjiazhuang. You can take people there. A trip to Wangjiazhuang will bring us back a large amount of rations."
Liu Dayu was slightly stunned. He was worried that he could not find an excuse to get food. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan came to him on his own initiative, so he agreed, greeted a few Dunjun soldiers and went to hitch the oxcart.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yue looked at Liu Yan thoughtfully, only to see Liu Yan go back to the house directly.
"Something's going to happen!"
Wang Yue's face looked a little ugly, and he quickly chased to the gate, grabbed Liu Dayu who was about to get on the bullock cart, and said: "Be careful, I think Commander A is planning something, be careful not to let him do it!"
While Liu Dayu was commanding the three Dunjun troops to prepare the ox cart, he sneered and said: "Then what can Liu Yan plan? Isn't he just a reckless man? Although Liu Yan is appreciated by Lord Wang, the officer in charge of the team, I also have Mrs. Xu as my backstage , don’t worry, nothing big will happen.”
After saying that, Liu Dayu got on the bullock cart, whipped the bull's back, and the bullock cart walked forward leisurely, leaving Wang Yue standing at the door with a very wonderful expression on his face. After a moment, he returned directly. He went into his own house and never came out again.
Here Liu Yan returned to the house and checked the soap made last night. He saw that the soap had gradually solidified into a solid in the mold, but it was still very soft and could not be picked up at all. It would still take a few days to truly set. . For these soaps to truly take shape, it will take more than ten or even twenty days to fully allow the water in the soap to evaporate, but this cannot be rushed.
So Liu Yan found some rags to cover all the soap to prevent dust and dirt from falling on it, and then Liu Yan went out and found Chen Xun.
At this time, Chen Xun was wiping a three-pronged gun in his house, while Chen Jiangshi was working hard on the side washing a few old clothes.
In the cold weather, Chen Jiang's hands were turned red from the cold, and Liu Yan even saw two frostbite, which was very miserable. The three-eyed gun in Chen Xun's hand was also very old. The three barrels were even fixed together with thick hemp ropes. Liu Yan was worried that once the three-eyed gun was fired, it would 100% explode.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh. This is the current situation of the Ming Dun Army at this time. It is the same all over the world. He can only sigh at this stage. Fortunately, his plan to make money with soap has already been implemented. Once the soap is made, he will definitely make money. This will not only improve the living standards of himself and his subordinates, but also give Liu Yan the capital to further develop his strength.
"Commander A is here, sit down quickly."
When Chen Xun saw Liu Yan at the door, he quickly put down the three-eyed gun and asked Liu Yan to come in and sit down. Chen Jiangshi also smiled and stood up to say hello, wiped his hands on his body, and then went to boil water.
Liu Yan said politely, then closed the door and said to Chen Xun: "Liu Dayu took people to Wangjiazhuang to get food. In a moment, you will call a few reliable Dunjun soldiers to get ready. If Liu Dayu comes back to transport food and listen to my orders, Once the wrong amount of rations is brought back, they will be captured.”
Chen Xun nodded solemnly and said, "I'm a little worried about Wang Yue. He can also recruit a few Dunjun. If the two sides really fall out, we will suffer a loss because of our small number."
Liu Yan smiled and said: "If I were really worried a few days ago, you can rest assured now. No one in the dungeon will follow them to make trouble. This matter is related to the self-interests of everyone in the dungeon. They Most likely they will wait and see."
"So best."
After Liu Yan gave Chen Xun instructions, he went up to the observation deck wrapped in a cotton coat. Liu Yan sat on a wooden pier and looked around. He saw a vast expanse around the pier, with yellow weeds, white frost, and scattered dead trees everywhere.
"well!"
This is the Ming Dynasty at this time. Almost every year, there are natural disasters that occur once in decades or even once in a century. It can be said that they continue year after year. Not to mention the Ming Empire at this time, even the modern red countries of later generations can hardly Accept it, it is really unfair!
Just when Liu Yan's thoughts were wandering, Chen Xun had already arranged for several Dunjun troops and at the same time arranged work for the rest of the Dunjun troops. All the family members in Dapan Dun were also ordered to stay in their respective houses and try their best to Don't come out.
At this time, Chen Xun climbed up the ladder to the observation deck, came to Liu Yan's side and whispered: "Captain A, I'm ready."
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Listen to my order and don't act rashly after Liu Dayu comes back."
"yes."
"Also, where is Wang Yue now?"
Chen Xun said with a strange look on his face: "When I was arranging the manpower, I saw Wang Yue. He went directly back to his house and never came out."
"Hmph! This bitch is really quick at seeing opportunities."
Chen Xun asked: "What does Captain Jia mean?"
"I guess Wang Yue noticed something, so he chose not to worry about it."
"Isn't he just a flatterer? How smart is he?"
"Don't underestimate those sycophants. They are all human beings who are best at observing words and emotions."
After saying that, Liu Yan also felt that it was a little cold here, so he got up and prepared to go back to the house to rest, waiting for Liu Dayu to come back: "Assign someone to keep an eye on this place, and let me know in advance when Liu Dayu comes back."
"Okay, Commander A, don't worry."
Most of a day later, Liu Dayu and his party returned to Dapandun with rations. The Dun Jun on the lookout informed Liu Yan in advance. By the time Liu Dayu and others entered Dapan Dun, Liu Yan and Chen Xun had already led six Dun Jun to the open space at the door.
When Liu Dayu saw this, he secretly screamed something bad. He looked around and looked for Wang Yue, but found that only Liu Yan was in the pier, and the rest of the Dun army and family members were nowhere to be seen.
"A, Commander A, what's going on?"
Liu Yan looked at Liu Dayu expressionlessly and said, "Chen Xun!"
"exist!"
"Take someone to count the rations."
"Got the order!"
Chen Xun led six Dunjun soldiers and began to count. Liu Dayu stood aside. Although he had already thought of his words, he was still a little nervous.
After a while, Chen Xun looked at Liu Yan with a strange expression, then clasped his fists and said, "This is to the commander, the ration amount is correct!"
"Um!"
Liu Yan couldn't help but sneered. It seemed that Mrs. Xu and Liu Dayu were not too greedy. Although Liu Yan knew that some of these rations must have been swallowed up, the amount swallowed was the usual practice in previous years. Even if they checked the accounts, they could not check it. It came out because the total number of rations calculated by Liu Yan was the number after deducting the usual practice in previous years.
"The current Ming Dynasty is rotten from the root. It cannot be changed by one person. Making money is more important now. Since Liu Dayu is still sensible, there is no need to break up with him this time."
Liu Yan was thinking in his mind and said to Liu Dayu: "This errand was done well. You and Chen Xun should distribute all these rations together."
Liu Dayu breathed a sigh of relief, just agreed, and asked his subordinate Dun Jun to unload the truck. However, Liu Dayu's mood was not very good, and he was very depressed.
Liu Yan naturally had no intention of paying attention to Liu Dayu's mood, and went back to the house to prepare the soap blanks. At the same time, Liu Yan also wanted to think about the details of the cooperation with the team leader Wang Wenzhen after the soap was made.
A moment later, Wang Yue, who heard the noise outside, came out of his house and saw that everyone in the pier was distributing rations. Everyone's faces were filled with joy, so he found an opportunity to pull Liu Dayu aside.
Wang Yue asked in a low voice: "How was this trip? I just heard in the house that the rations this time were distributed according to the actual amount. Mr. Xu still deducted 30% as usual?"
Liu Dayu nodded to confirm Wang Yue's inquiry, then sighed and said, "Huangshan Dun started a quarrel because the gentry had deducted too much rations. The team officer Wang Wenzhen was furious because of this, and he specifically informed Mr. Xu and made various remarks. Chu Yandun’s rations must not be deducted, we have no choice but to do this this time.”
Wang Yue was shocked and began to make calculations in his mind, but he still asked: "Then what are your plans?"
Liu Dayu snorted coldly and said: "The situation in Huangshandun is probably not going to be easy. The commander there will definitely be taken down. I have already agreed with Mrs. Xu that when the matter in Huangshandun is settled, I will be transferred there to serve as the general manager." Flag officer, armor commander."
Wang Yue was completely dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "Then what should I do?"
Wang Yue said with a flattering smile again: "After Brother Liu arrives at Huangshandun, can you please ask Mr. Xu to transfer me there too? I still want to work under Brother Liu, oh, no! It's Chief Liu Jiazhan!"
Liu Dayu glanced at Wang Yue and said expressionlessly: "Let's forget about this matter. Just getting me to go there alone has already cost Mr. Xu a lot of effort. There is a lot of money in Huangshandun, and many people are watching. Here, you think it’s so easy to get someone over there!”
After saying that, Liu Dayu ignored Wang Yue and returned to the house directly with his share of rations.
Wang Yue looked at Liu Dayu who pushed the door into the house. He felt disappointed, wronged, angry, and unwilling. All kinds of emotions were intertwined. Finally, he looked in the direction of Liu Dayu's house and said angrily: "Okay! Since you, Liu Dayu, are not merciful, then I You also have to think about your own future. From now on, let’s make a clean break!”
On that day, all the rations for everyone in Dapandun were distributed. Everyone seemed to be celebrating the New Year. Every household was talking and laughing. Even the faces of the lonely Dunjun were filled with joy and smiles.
Liu Yan came to Chen Xun's house with a pot of bad wine and some food. Chen Xun and his wife were very happy. Chen Jiang was busy and made a few dishes to go with the wine. Although they were not meaty, they were still delicious. The two immediately Eat and drink.
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Yan said, "In a few days, you and I will go to Wangjiazhuang."
Chen Xun asked: "Does Chief A want to buy something?"
Liu Yan smiled and said: "I am already a pauper now, what else can I buy?"
Chen Xun, unlike Liu Dayu and Wang Yue, was Liu Yan's absolute confidant, so Liu Yan didn't hide anything from Chen Xun and explained how to make money by making soap.
Chen Xun's eyes widened and he said, "Can Chief A still make these things? Is the soap really that good? Can it really make money?"
"Trust me, it definitely can."
"Then what Chief A is going to Wangjiazhuang to do has something to do with this soap?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Of course. After we have soap, we still need to find a market and an umbrella that can protect us from wind and rain!"
