Bang! ~
Mr. Feng was already in poor health, and he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.
While holding his chest, a maid hurriedly came over to hold him back, and the old man finally regained his breath.
"You...you...you want our old Feng family to finish playing with your kid, right?"
Master Feng pointed at Zhao Ming and couldn't help but tremble. He is now over sixty. This age will not matter in a hundred years, but in this era, it is definitely considered a longevity.
At this moment, this move was so frightening that he carried it away.
"Father-in-law, please listen to me explain this matter in detail."
Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed and almost forgot that Mr. Feng was not in good health.
"Okay! Tell me! I want to see what you can come up with!" Master Feng gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"Father-in-law, I passed through Fengxiang when I was fleeing from famine, and Fengxiang is about seventy miles away from us.
When I passed by, I didn't dare to get too close. There was heavy artillery fire there. After asking around, I found out that a general named Song was attacking Fengxiang on the orders of Boss Feng.
This fight lasted for several months. I heard that three divisions and a brigade were used. Gee, this was nearly 40,000 troops.
The campaign was launched at the beginning of the year with no results, and the campaign was launched again in April. Now, after a break, the campaign resumed in July.
This kidnapper has already managed Fengxiang like an iron bucket. It will be difficult for General Song to defeat him in a short time!
And this is our opportunity! " Zhao Ming said with a smile on his face.
"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity is this? Forty thousand people! What? Instead of attacking Feng Xiang, you led fifty people to rob someone else's forty thousand people?
Save your worries for me. If this gets too hot, our Feng family village will have to finish it! "
Master Feng almost cried as he spoke, and even felt a headache.
I thought I had recruited a good son-in-law who was resourceful and capable of fighting and killing, but I never thought that there were many advantages but too many disadvantages.
"My father-in-law, how can my son-in-law have the courage to confront 40,000 people head-on? But think about it, father-in-law, 40,000 people, so many people, can eat what horses chew..."
You know... Drought is now spreading throughout Guanzhong.
It is definitely not possible to collect this food from villages and towns. Where do you think this food comes from? "
As soon as Zhao Ming said these words, Mr. Feng was stunned, and the accumulated anger gradually subsided.
In today's world, the simplest and most direct way for soldiers to collect rations is to use local materials. But right now, the only way is to use local materials...
"Fengjiazhuang, I have seen a logistics supply escort team before I came to Fengjiazhuang. Our Fengjiazhuang is located in Weibei, about seventy miles away from Fengxiang.
Fengxiang is located to the north of us, and just over 20 miles away from us, there is a westerly slope. There, I saw an extra donkey team stretching for one or two miles.
I took a look and saw that they were all escorted weapons, firearms, ammunition and various rice noodles! Transporting no less than dozens of tons of cargo at a time is a big deal! "
Hearing this, Mr. Feng said suspiciously, "So you want to grab this wave of military rations?"
"Father-in-law! We can rob it, but it's very risky. We have small arms and legs. Even if there are few logistics troops to escort the rations, we can't withstand the storm." Zhao Ming shook his head.
"Then you just..." Mr. Feng was a little confused. What did this mean?
"Exchange! You can also buy it! This is the safest way. I just wonder if your father-in-law has a rich family?" Zhao Ming said with a smile.
I muttered in my heart, if I hadn't dropped the bombshell news at the beginning, you might not have the heart to listen to me continue to talk.
The truth is that Zhao Ming figured out the title partisanship of later generations.
"How...how can this be done?"
Hearing this, Mr. Feng shook his head repeatedly, "Xian son-in-law, I understand what you mean, but there is a fixed amount of military rations. Let's buy some privately from them.
It's easy to bribe the grain transport official, but it's absolutely impossible to get him to sell grain to us. Once it is found that the amount of food and fodder sent to the front line is incorrect, they will be shot. "
"Father-in-law! You misunderstood me!"
Zhao Ming shook his head repeatedly, "Now we are not short of food in the village, so I am thinking about the long term.
No matter where we buy food from now, it is actually not safe. It is easy to send people to the next province to buy grain and grass, but transporting it back is a big problem.
We have no guns and not enough manpower. It is very difficult to protect so much food and grass.
But we can borrow chickens to lay eggs! "
Hearing this, Mr. Feng suddenly figured it out, slapped his thigh, pointed at Zhao Ming and burst out laughing.
"Wonderful son-in-law! Wonful son-in-law! What a wonderful idea you have!"
Master Feng now finally understood Zhao Ming's plan.
You can spend a little more money to bribe the grain transport officer. The only requirement is that the next time you escort military rations, ask the grain transport officer to use private means to purchase an additional batch from the market.
It doesn’t take much at a time, and with a steady flow of water, it is equivalent to a stable food supply.
This is equivalent to spending money to hire this grain transportation logistics force to help escort grain and grass.
At that time, Fengjiazhuang only needs to bring people to the designated place to carry out the handover.
This is indeed a good idea, a good way to lay eggs by borrowing a chicken to lay eggs!
As he spoke, Zhao Ming held up his hand again, "Zhang Yue, once this can be accomplished, let's not say we can survive this famine in the future.
That can last much longer than ordinary Zhuangzi, and this business is not necessarily limited to grain and grass trading..."
yes! It’s not just about buying and selling grain and grass, it’s all about buying and selling, isn’t it also about arms?
When the grain transport officer tastes the sweetness, what can't he sell?
"Hiss...! This matter still needs to be carefully considered, but it is indeed feasible!"
Mr. Feng stroked his beard and fell into deep thought, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.
In fact, buying food is really not difficult.
Even if you go to Xi'an Prefecture, you can buy food at a higher price, and you can even get some firearms on the black market, but the risk is too great.
It's a long way to go to Xi'an Prefecture. The food brought there may have been robbed by the victims of the disaster before it reached Xi'an Prefecture.
Rather than spending so much money on turnover, it would be better to just use someone from the officialdom to handle it.
"I'll think about it! Think about it!"
Master Feng thought for a while and then waved his hand, "Your method is indeed feasible, but you need to choose a target, and our Fengjiazhuang is not short of food now.
As for firearms, these can actually be bought with money, so these can be slowed down first.
But my dear son-in-law, you can make preparations first.
I can rest assured that you can negotiate with others. Remember, when it comes to bribery, you must be cautious and cautious, and you must not reveal your wealth too much at the beginning.
Of course, I can rest assured that you will handle this matter, just keep it to that level.
And talk more and find reliable people to avoid losing money and goods! "
Zhao Ming naturally understood this, and this transaction was actually very risky.
If you are a fool, you throw out a large amount of money at the beginning, and you want to make a big deal with the first one.
Believe it or not, the military master is not thinking about how to make money from you, but directly leads people to raid your hometown.
"My son-in-law will act with caution!"
Zhao Ming clasped his fists, knowing it in his heart.
If this can be done, Fengjiazhuang will be able to gather more victims in the future, and the room for maneuver will be much larger.
But before that, we have to deal with the gang of knife thieves!
"But we can only do it step by step. Let's strengthen the training of the nursing staff first."
Zhao Ming thought to himself.
We came to the room where the nursing staff at Fengjiazhuang usually chatted and played cards. It was a very spacious house, like a warehouse.
However, there are many tables, chairs, benches, and even a few beds inside for the brothers to rest on duty at night.
Originally, everyone was shouting "Huanshi" here, but now it is daytime, and there are not many people required for inspection tasks. Everyone usually plays small cards here, or brags and chats about some dirty jokes that all men understand.
But as the door creaked open and Zhao Ming appeared at the door, the room suddenly became silent.
Zhao Ming glanced around and saw many people quietly putting away several pieces of wooden Pai Gow, and pressing the dice with their hands.
There was a scene of people coming from above and people below hurriedly trying to cover up.
"Ahem, it turns out that Uncle Zhao...is here!"
Chang Wei coughed dryly and stepped forward with a dry smile.
Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, and then sat down on the chair while Chang Wei and the brothers looked at him in astonishment.
"Huh? Why are you still standing there? Take out the cards and I'll play with you!"
As soon as Zhao Ming said this, the room was quiet for a moment, and then someone hesitantly took out the chess cards and gadgets.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Zhao Ming's face, everyone gradually felt relieved.
Chang Wei was relieved when he saw this scene.
Of course Zhao Ming knew what these people were thinking.
It's nothing more than a person's identity suddenly undergoing a transformation. His class is different from that of others, and it's hard to adapt to it all of a sudden.
