After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 69 All parties take action

Hong Feiyang is very clear about how much grain is stored in the valley. As long as he persists until next summer's harvest, he can completely solve the livelihood problem in the valley.

 The most scarce things in the valley are clothing, cloth and winter supplies.

In order to purchase these supplies, Hong Feiyang even put up his own money, and in the end he only had less than ten taels of silver left.

 After settling the account, Hong Feiyang took the only nine taels of silver left in his hand and said to Wang Xingwang with a wry smile.

“Brother Wang, the next journey depends on you.”

“I really didn’t expect that the price this time would be twice as high as last time.

We have enough supplies and we won’t spend much money on this trip. The rest will be on me.

The tasks of this trip are successfully completed, and there are many rewards. It will not be a problem for you to honor your ancestors.

Three ships that did not enter the port sailed away, without causing much waves in the bustling Jiangfu.

Wang Jiayu sat in the luxurious double carriage in front with a sullen face. There were six guards with swords on horseback on both sides of the carriage.

The breeze blew through the flawless white silk curtains, and a voluptuous woman with exquisite makeup walked into the room, bringing with her a burst of fragrance.

 The next day, all grain stores in Jiangfu put up unified price tags, rice was 80 Wen per liter, and cornmeal was 70 Wen per liter.

Ziyu, who experienced the fun of scattering copper coins when the ancients went up the beam, was looking at it with gusto.

Qiu Bojian slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup.

 …

Each one has a fierce look on his face. He is riding a horse with his back straight and one hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist.

The five people who can sit at the same table are all the top five grain merchants in Jiangfu. How could they not understand the meaning of this statement?

 In the exquisite wooden building where the music is singing and dancing, there is a luxurious room everywhere.

 Xiao Wu didn’t pay much attention to the six unfamiliar faces that appeared.

“Brother Qiu returned from the north this time, and I don’t know what good news he brought back.”

Thick wooden squares are piled up one by one, and the mortise and tenon structure does not require customized iron nails.

 They are also always paying attention to the situation in the north and have already stocked up a large amount of food.

 Xiao Wu exchanged glances with his acquaintances, and everyone knew that this trip would be uneventful. “Quiet, everyone, listen carefully, this trip is not a trivial matter.

Wang Xingwang was a little impatient. After so many days, the nails he laid should start working.

 The water is so clear that you can see the entire ditch at a glance.

In the criss-crossed fields, there are five-foot-wide paths, and groups of helpers are laying gravel.

A layer of wooden boards, a layer of linoleum cloth, and a layer of tile shelves on the outside. Waiting for the tiles to be transported back to be laid, the main body of the house is basically completed.

Xiaowu always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out the reason.

 In the valley in early October, the newly cultivated land was covered with a thin layer of white frost.

The gabled roofs that Ziyu specially requested were quickly displayed on the houses on both sides of the gate.

With more people and greater strength, the one-foot-thick square materials prepared were sent up one by one.

 …

 The prosperous Jiangfu was hit by a storm, causing extensive damage to the yellowing rice fields.

 The long grain team left the Wang family compound and headed straight for the Baili Mountains.

 The price of food in grain stores has also risen, and other daily necessities have followed closely behind.

The woman picked up a silver note under the tea cup, pursed her cherry red mouth and blew on the note happily, making a cute and charming sound.

 The people here are already the total number of members of the Wang family’s caravan.

As soon as Qiu Bojian finished speaking, the eyes of all four people flashed.

Qi Wenhan turned the green thumb on his thumb and looked at Qiu Bojian who invited them to the brothel.

 …

The brothers' compensation was also deducted in half, all due to the order of the newly appointed general manager in front of them.

The three ships sailing to the West Sea gradually moved away from the worldly disputes, and finally arrived at Daxia Bay after more than ten days of sailing.

 The products sold in other stores have also increased in price.

Set off! "

 Xiao Wu glanced at the mule team again. Two strong men were added to each mule cart to push the cart.

 The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, casually stuffing the five hundred taels of silver notes into her chest.

 It is now late September, and the crops in the north have just begun to grow.

　　　【If you dare to disobey me when you are holding my bowl, then don't blame me for being stupid. 】

Xiao Wu glanced at the mule carts parked throughout the large yard. There were two hundred mule carts carrying grain alone.

　　　【The third young master who is a good man is acting inappropriately, but he insists on interfering in the caravan's affairs, causing the people below to complain. 】

 The stone walls of the twelve small courtyards have been completed, and the craftsmen have gathered in the large courtyard to build attics.

 Four dear friends, you should know what this means! "

Ziyu, Xiao Luo, and four young followers were standing in the distance watching the fun.

However, one can tell that the aura of the six people is definitely not ordinary people.

“Oh! The masters came and went in such a hurry that I didn’t even have the chance to serve them personally.

Wang Jiayu stretched out his hand, but only received a sparse response from below. He glanced at the people below displeasedly.

The Wang family, who had already spotted this business opportunity, saw fully loaded mule carts ready to go, and Xiao Wu was suddenly among them.

 The fate of many people was decided the moment they walked out.

 Next time you come, you must not forget the slave family! "

To her, the mortise-and-tenon structure only existed in history, and various assistance was indispensable for the construction of houses in later generations.

The main road in the valley is one foot and five feet wide, leading from the mouth of the valley to the outside of the stone arch bridge. The gravel paved there has been specially crushed.

There were more than 800 people on the way, and the consumption of two hundred mules was not small. It looked like a loss-making business.

I believe all four of you are aware of the fact that food prices remain high in the north due to last winter's heavy snowfall.

 Let’s leave Jiang Mansion first! "

 He looked at Wang Jiayu, the newly appointed caravan manager, with a haze in his eyes.

For his own safety, Wang Xingwang decided to leave Jiang Mansion quickly.

On top is a layer of sand mixed with lip ash, which has solidified with the gravel.

Even if you walk on the road on a rainy day, you are not afraid of getting the soles of your shoes dirty.

 Because the Wang family has many masters, as a businessman from outside the courtyard, he doesn't know much about these things.

 …

 The food is there and the people are there, remember it all!

“Inviting four dear friends to a gathering will naturally be a great thing.

Last time, he was rewarded for protecting the caravan, not only did he receive no reward, but he was demoted.

 At the seaside near the stone arch bridge, the stones were removed one by one, revealing the white sand underneath.

 Half an hour later, the five people all left separately. Only five gold teacups were left in the house, proving that someone had stayed here.

 The quality of the houses built is not inferior to the reinforced concrete of later generations.

 But these people in front of them rely on their wisdom and craftsmanship passed down for many years to build houses.

 The new general manager was only interested in immediate profits and did not consider the issues of load and journey safety at all.

The widened ditch on the right side is built with stones on both sides. At intervals there is a puddle of sediment, about half a person deep, with three stone steps on the side.

In front of each courtyard door, there is a paved stone road leading from the main road to the courtyard entrance, which is more than enough for a carriage to pass.

 The thickness of the stone wall is nearly two feet, which is almost as thick as the city wall.

In this mountain, it is both strong and full of security, and it is also very effective in resisting wind and cold.
