Liu Ziming said with a smile, "Brother Xiaobei is so good, even this wolf can be caught alive."
After saying that, he turned to his brother and said, "Quick, go and report to Butler Liu."
With little effort, Liu Ce rushed out in a hurry.
When he saw Chen Xiaobei, he first said a few polite words, "Brother Xiaobei, it's a rare occasion for me to come over and have a cup of tea."
Chen Xiaobei pointed to the donkey cart and said, "Steward Liu, let's inspect the goods first."
Liu Ce laughed, "I didn't expect that brother Xiaobei is still impatient."
After saying that, he came forward.
When the two wild wolves saw that they were being watched, they roared angrily.
But Naihe was tied up tightly. There was nothing else he could do but yell and stare.
Liu Ce reached out and touched the wild wolf's leg, with a look of regret on his face, "Oh, what a pity, the leg bones are all broken, so I have to recuperate for half a year."
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Xiaobei, "Brother, this wolf..." Before he could finish, Chen Xiaobei said with a smile, "I understand, a broken leg is worthless."
In one sentence, Liu Ce swallowed back the second half of the sentence, "No, I didn't mean that."
"I mean, these two wolves, in their prime, are just like young adults. Their leg injuries have healed, and they can run and jump just as well."
Well, just take what you say as true. Chen Xiaobei stopped arguing.
Liu Ce turned around and ordered Liu Ziming to pull the donkey cart into the backyard and unload the wolf.
Then, he said to Chen Xiaobei again, "Brother Xiaobei, please."
This time, Chen Xiaobei did not refuse. After all, the donkey cart also went in and the money was not received yet.
Liu Ce let Chen Xiaobei into the living room, and someone brought tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Liu Ce smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobei, I know it's not easy for you to get these two wolves, so as for the price, I'll follow the price we agreed on, one hundred taels each."
Well, yes, for this price, Chen Xiaobei is quite, quite satisfied.
But he still had to be polite and said, "Brother Liu, forget the money. You gave me so many serial crossbows and you didn't take any of them. I'll give you these two wolves."
Liu Ce waved his hand, "No, brother Xiaobei, let's go back to the same code. The serial crossbow was also issued by the government. The lady gave it to me and has nothing to do with me. But this wolf, I asked for it from you, so Ah, you must accept this money."
Chen Xiaobei pretended to be embarrassed, "Since it's disrespectful, I won't be polite."
"However, Brother Liu, there is still something I don't know about, and I would like to ask you for advice."
Liu Ce made a gesture, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you say it."
After speaking, he raised the tea cup and took a slight sip of tea.
"Brother Liu, what are you going to use this wolf for?"
Liu Ce laughed, "Logically, I can't say anything, but between the two of us, I don't have to be secretive."
"Did you know that there is a country to the north of our country called Dayong Country, and they have a mysterious team called the Blood Wolf Guards."
Blood Wolf Guard?
"Isn't it just a team? What's so mysterious about it?" Chen Xiaobei looked like he was asking questions.
"Hey, this Blood Wolf Guard, he is not a human, he is a wolf."
"I don't know what evil methods the people of Dayong Kingdom used to train wolves to be as obedient as dogs. Whenever there is a war, if a group of wolves are released first, we will suffer big losses every time. So, my family The prince wanted to get some wolves to test and see how to tame the wolves."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei smiled.
He thought to himself, this thing is so simple. You don't have to tame wolves, you have to crossbreed and make wolf-dogs.
That thing is more vicious than a wolf when it comes to fighting.
However, Chen Xiaobei did not dare to say these words. After all, the wolf dog was something that would happen many years later. Maybe Liu Xiangnan, the head of the Liu family, could really tame the wolf.
He took the silver and left Liu's house.
Chen Xiaobei was very excited.
Two hundred taels of silver, take it back and divide it among the others.
There are ten people entering the mountain, and each person can get twenty taels.
Everyone is happy.
But then I thought about it again, no, as the saying goes, we don’t worry about the scarcity but the inequality.
Although, it is very dangerous to enter the mountain. It can even be said that you have to carry your head when entering.
However, twenty taels is a large amount. For the villagers, so much money is their income for several years. Those who have not received a share cannot have no ideas.
Therefore, the safest way is to score less points, so little that everyone can accept it.
For example, five taels of silver per person.
So, what to do with the remaining one hundred taels of silver?
It's obviously not appropriate to keep everything by yourself, although no one will know as long as you don't tell.
However, my conscience can't stand it.
Therefore, the best way is of course to benefit everyone in Hetou Village. In this way, even the villagers who have not received any money will really not be jealous of them in Lidong.
But what to do?
Lying on the carriage and walking back, Chen Xiaobei had a lot of thoughts. In his mind, various scenes from the era he lived in in his previous life appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, a familiar slogan flashed into his mind, "If you want to be rich, build roads first."
Yes, build roads.
As soon as his thoughts opened up, Chen Xiaobei felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter.
All kinds of slogans came out.
"Knowledge alters your fate."
"Technology has changed life."
Ah, ah, what kind of technology is there at this time?
Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment. Technology may be far away, but donkeys and cattle are more practical.
Especially when it comes to sowing, the seedlings that were sown early are already half a foot tall, while the ones that are later are not finished sowing yet.
This is because there is only one cattle in the village. No, strictly speaking, during the busy farming season, the township only allocates one cattle to each village.
Although it is for the sake of the people, one cow is too few.
Therefore, if we do all these things, more than one hundred taels of silver does not seem to be that generous. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not enough. Liu Rumei also gave him a thousand taels. The village guards couldn't use that much for their year-end bonus, so they could supplement it appropriately.
At this time, Chen Ping had arrived at the county government office.
After seeing Hu Fan, he cried and complained.
"Sir, Chen Xiaobei, the head of Hetou Village, has a secret cache of weapons, including ten serial crossbows. Go and take a look."
Hu Fan felt nervous after hearing this. As the saying goes, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.
It is a serious crime for ordinary people to hide weapons privately.
What's more, even his Qingniu County government office does not have the firepower as powerful as ten serial crossbows.
When He Laoqi saw that Hu Fan was about to shoot the crowd, he coughed quickly and looked at the back hall.
Of course, Hu Fan understood it, stood up, turned around and entered the back hall.
He Laoqi immediately followed in.
"Sir, Chen Xiaobei has quite a connection with the Liu family. I think it's better to turn a blind eye and forget it."
Hu Fan shook his head slightly, "That's not right. Chen Ping has come to sue us. If we don't pay attention, wouldn't we be suspected of showing favoritism?"
"But, sir, Chen Xiaobei, he..."
Hu Fan shook his head, "The more we have to do with the Liu family, the less we can let it go. Ten serial crossbows, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it will be a big deal. When the time comes, if the Liu family lets go, we won't be able to live with it." .”
