Han Xi was a little surprised after hearing Tan Shao's words. In less than a month, the fat man actually brought food here again.
I don’t know if the rice from last time has been shipped, it’s so delicious.
"Assemble the team, let's go there." Han Xi hurried towards the village with a dozen guards. It was already the sun and it was time for lunch, but there was only one smoke in the village.
Nowadays, Chenjiagou eats from a big pot, and only Han Xi has a small stove.
Entering the village, Han Xi took some pancakes from the barn and ate them while walking towards the stable.
When Han Xi arrived at the stable, hundreds of cavalrymen were already preparing saddles.
Han Xi was choking on the dry pancakes he was eating and ordered: "Everyone who has saddled up their saddles will get three pieces of pancakes to eat on the road."
After saying that, Han Xi also put a saddle on his horse.
Half an hour later, hundreds of cavalrymen left Chenjiagou and headed for Yezhu Gorge, more than 40 miles away.
On a slope, I saw hundreds of cavalrymen roaring away in Chenjiagou, and a strong man hurriedly ran down the mountain.
When I ran to the foot of the mountain, I saw three or four people waiting here.
"Quickly, send the news back. There are a hundred horse bandits out there." The man finished.
I saw four people mounting their horses, two of them ran in the direction Han Xi went, and the other two ran to the south.
the other side.
Han Xi and his party ran at a steady speed for half an hour into the Wild Boar Gorge, and soon saw the fat businessman from last time.
Seeing that Han Xi and his entourage arrived in just a few hours, Wu Ge was slightly surprised, but he still greeted him with a grin on his face: "Hehehehe! The boss arrived so quickly!"
"Hahaha! Brother Wu is not slow. How much food has been transported this time? Does it contain the rice from last time?" Han Xi asked with a smile.
Wu Ge's cheeks twitched. Dang Gong rice is just Chinese cabbage. Even he only eats it once or twice a year.
"No! The rice is in the Chang'an area. I didn't go back there," Wu Ge explained with a smile, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Wu Ge was able to collect food so quickly this time mainly because of the help of the Wu family in Yichuan.
Grandpa Wu Ge's generation came from the Wu family in Yichuan, so the Wu family in Guanzhong has always been connected with Yichuan.
This time I went to the Wu family to collect grain, and found that my buyer was the horse bandit that the Wu family wanted to exterminate, so I came up with today's strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountain. There was a group of people waiting to ambush Han Xi on the road.
Of course, Han Xi didn't notice anything wrong. He was just a little disappointed when he heard that there was no rice, and then asked: "How much food did you bring this time?"
"Hahaha! I brought about 600 shi. These grains were collected in Yan'an. You, the boss, also know what the situation is in Yan'an now. Can the price be increased a little?" Wu Ge asked cautiously.
"Okay, here are two hundred taels of gold, I want the cart and the food," Han Xi threw the bag next to the saddle.
Wu Ge took the bag and felt happy. He only purchased one hundred shi of grain, of which 500 shi was supported by the Wu family in Yichuan. He would only need to give the Wu family one hundred taels of gold.
One hundred stones of grain from Wu Pavilion can earn him one thousand taels of silver, which is enough for him to make two or three trips between Yan'an Prefecture and Hanzhong.
Although he made a little money, Wu Ge still shook his head and sighed, as if he didn't make much money and just made a hard trip.
Seeing this, Han Xi was afraid that this guy would not be active in running in the future, so he threw another ten taels of gold over: "Consider these as payment for your hard work! Remember to bring some rice next time."
An unexpected surprise? Wu Ge could no longer keep the sad look on his face and smiled: "Definitely, definitely, next time I will bring all the rice to the boss."
Wu Ge was a little reluctant to let Han Xi go so generously.
But Wu Ge did not forget the purpose of coming here, so he chatted with Han Xi to delay time.
When Han Xi saw that the grain had to be inspected, he also started chatting with Wu Ge.
Soon, Wu Ge was a little surprised by Han Xi's knowledge, and the two of them chatted like this.
It was more than half an hour after it was confirmed that the food was OK.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong? He seems to be uneasy all the time?" Han Xi asked suddenly.
Hearing Han Xi's question, Wu Ge felt a trickle of sweat break out on his forehead. After chatting for so long with a guilty conscience, it was inevitable that he would feel a little nervous.
"Hahaha! I've made two big deals in a short period of time, so I'm a little excited." Wu Ge said with a smile.
Hearing this, Han Xi also smiled and said: "What does this mean? Brother Wu will recruit more guards in the future. No matter how much goods you bring, I can eat them."
After saying that, Han Xi turned his eyes and lowered his voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you that I discovered a gold mine in the mountains. I can produce this amount in a year."
When Wu Ge heard that there was a gold mine, his eyes lit up. When he saw Han Xi's gesture of nine, his voice trembled and he said: "Nine, nine hundred taels?"
Nine hundred taels of gold is almost nine thousand taels of silver. This is not a small amount of money. Yichuan County's annual tax revenue may only be more than four thousand taels.
Han Xi shook his head slightly: "Less."
"This, this, nine thousand taels?" Wu Ge stuttered.
Han Xi shook his head again: "It's still missing."
"Nine, ninety-nine, ninety-nine." Wu Ge began to speak incoherently, and kept doing nine.
Ninety thousand taels of gold, that is nine hundred thousand taels of silver.
The total tax revenue of the entire Yanqing Prefecture may not be half of this amount, right?
"General, there is no problem with the food." At this time, a farmer came up and said.
After confirming, Wu Ge was shocked and his mind was already spinning.
What Han Xi didn't know was that his pie was a bit too big, and he had no idea what ninety thousand taels a year meant.
The problem is, Wu Ge really believes it.
"Since there is no problem with the goods, I'll take my leave first!" With that said, Wu Ge took the gold and hundreds of people and left the Yezhu Gorge in a hurry. It seemed that he wanted to rush back to Ganquan County before it got dark. .
Han Xi didn't care much and headed towards Chenjiagou with hundreds of donkey carts.
Not long after leaving Yezhu Gorge, a group of thousands of people appeared in Yezhu Gorge cheering.
This group of people was Gao Yingxiang's group. They had just received news from the Yezhuxia spies that a batch of grain was staying in Yezhuxia, and the team guarding the grain only had a few hundred people.
After Gao Yingxiang heard the news, he hurriedly led his people from the outskirts of Yan'an Fucheng.
But we encountered some troubles on the way, so we were delayed for a long time.
"Where's the food?" Gao Yingxiang asked, looking at the empty village.
"They were dragged away by the Chenjiagou group. It seems that these people bought the grain." A young man with a hunched body said.
"Are they the group that robbed a dozen of our weapons carts some time ago? Have you found out how many of them there are?" Gao Yingxiang asked expressionlessly.
"We found out, there are more than 600 people." The young man replied in a low voice.
If Han Xi were here, he would be shocked. He didn't even know that he had so many people under his command.
"If you get in touch, invite them to join our rebel army," Gao Yingxiang ordered and led the people out of Yezhu Gorge without thinking of chasing after them and grabbing the food.
It's better to keep this kind of food grabbing thing secret, but if word gets out, it will affect Gao Yingxiang's reputation.
Yes, the rebels at this time were very particular about reputation.
With a good reputation, more people will join your team.
Because Gao Yingxiang retreated, a fight was avoided.
However, Han Xi would not be afraid even if he saw Gao Yingxiang's thousands of people. He only needed to avoid his sharp edge and find a corner to recruit five hundred emperor soldiers to snatch the food back.
