Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 110 E Tuo
When Sheng Jiaojiao walked to the fence of the yard, she realized that everyone's eyes were wrong. When she looked back, she was also bluffed by the mastiff following behind.

When did such a giant dog with a strong mane follow her?
"Jiao Niang, what do you mean? Are you going to let the dogs bite us?"

Some shopkeepers were frightened, and the words they shouted were not as strong as they were just now.

Sheng Jiaojiao came to her senses, looked at the dozen or so shopkeepers who were blocked by Lu Shou, her face was cold, her hands were level, her posture was sacred and inviolable, and she said with contempt:

"What I mean is very obvious. If you are not polite to me today, then I don't need to be polite to you. I put my words here. If you dare to enter my house, it doesn't matter whether you live or die."

The shopkeepers fell silent for a moment. The mastiff at Sheng Jiaojiao's feet, with its claws stepping on the white snow, revealed its sharp armor, hooked the white snow, its back was arched, the mane on its body exploded, and there were bursts of puffs from its throat. A low whine.

Listening to that voice is creepy.

"You, why do you bully people like this?"

There are salesmen who make weak voices, full of injustice,

"Before you said to collect the grain, you won't collect the grain after we have lost all our property and brought the grain, Jiao Niang, why do you bully people like this?"

Everyone spoke up one after another, and their anger became louder.

Sheng Jiaojiao sneered and said:

"Why? With this jumping horse lake, now I have the final say."

"you"

Someone pointed at her and panicked, but didn't dare to go any further. Didn't you see that behind the mastiff, the third lady of the Qi family came out with several copper rings on her arms, and she was dressed in a vigorous outfit?

It is said that Sheng Jiaojiao is the weakest girl in this jumping horse lake, but now, there is a young man in front of him holding a broken mountain sword, pointing at everyone, with fierce beasts and fangs under his feet, and a three-woman lady standing behind him, who would dare Go forward and provoke this little girl again?

At this time, Er Gouzi rushed over with a few people from the militia, and angrily asked the group of shopkeepers blocking the gate of Qi's yard,

"What are you doing? Are you coming to our village to make trouble?"

"Where can it be? We didn't bring anything, it seems like we're going to make trouble?"

The leading shopkeeper simply opened his arms, turned his mouth up and down, and smiled again on his face, saying:

"We just came to discuss business with the Qi family, how could we know that Jiao Niang doesn't want to see us, the matter is too urgent, and we can't do it."

The shopkeepers behind him also changed their attitudes and nodded their heads.

"Yes, we don't make trouble, we are all street peddlers, how can there be life to make trouble?"

"I come to your village every month, and I know all the ladies in your village, big and small. They all know that I am a very gentle person. I came today to discuss business with the Qi family."

Er Gouzi of the militia team looked at the group of a dozen shopkeepers with some hesitation, and was not sure if they were going to cause trouble. A dozen people stood outside the courtyard of Qi's family, holding nothing in their hands, and all of them were wearing clothes. Ordinary, with a rucksack on his shoulders.

Many of them are familiar faces, they are indeed shopkeepers who often wander around the villages of Tiaoma Lake.

Er Gouzi said in a stern tone:

"I don't care if you are here to make trouble or not. You can't gather here. What time is it? Who knows if you are bandits who came to Qi's house to grab food?"

Although there is a war this year, it is better than previous years. After all, the military pay and rations are distributed on time every month. Therefore, none of the militiamen in Huangtu Village have left the village to beg for food this year.

The more timely the military pay and rations are distributed, the less people in Huangtu Village can let the Qi family have an accident.

Let's not let Sheng Jiaojiao have an accident.

After all, she is Tan Yichang's unmarried wife, and now Tan Ji is the biggest officer on Jumping Horse Lake.

Yes, when Sheng Jiaojiao said that today's Jumping Horse Lake, she has the final say. This is really not an exaggeration. The social status of Zhishou County is determined by the position in the army.

The so-called magistrate's yamen decree seemed to be appointed by the imperial capital and was superior to others, but in fact it was not worth anything at all. None of the stewards in the assembly could match a word from Tan Ji.

Although Sheng Jiaojiao is a girl, but she is in a position of authority, and the officials in the market dare not refute what she says, these shopkeepers are really daring, they dare to yell in front of her.

In the snow, there was silence for a while. The salesman in the lead softened his attitude first, knelt down in the snow, and shouted:

"Please Jiao Niang save me, Jiao Niang. Jiao Niang save me."

They are all good hands in the streets and alleys. Seeing the militia and the Qi family like this, they knew that there would be no trouble today, so they simply showed weakness and knelt down one after another, screaming in pain,

"Jiao Niang save me, Jiao Niang save me!"

Qi Zhi wanted to jump in anger, originally he was so angry that he wanted to fight these people to the death, but it might as well be that they suddenly showed weakness, and for a while he had nowhere to vent his anger, he just said angrily:

"Aren't you able to bend and stretch? Haven't you seen the world? Don't you go back wherever you can? Have you ever been to Longtan and Tiger's Cave? With such ability, what do you want my sister to do now? Get up, let's fight to the death, I respect you as heroes."

"Shiro's words are wrong. We are holding down our capital, and our hands are clinking poorly. We came to ask Jiao Niang to do something. At first, Jiao Niang didn't see us, so we thought of taking the risk and making a scene, which attracted Jiao Niang to see us. Whether it is to fight or kill, to ask for gold or silver, we will do it all."

"It is said that a man has gold under his knees. As long as he can see Jiao Niang, what is gold? They are worthless dung things. Jiao Niang, save my family. You are like a cow and a horse, please ask Jiao Niang to collect the food."

These thick-skinned people lay down in the snow one by one, like worshiping a Bodhisattva, and they all bowed to Sheng Jiaojiao. For a moment, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.

She snorted and spat:

"Okay, if you all act like this, it's not easy for me to kill people."

He turned sideways again and said:

"There is no need to block the door of my house anymore. My old lady was frightened for no reason. You send someone into the house to discuss, and the rest, go back and listen to the letter."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and entered the room, Qi Wei cast a sharp glance at the group of shameless shopkeepers outside, also put away his sword, turned around, inserted the Broken Mountain Sword into the scabbard held in Lian Xin's arms , followed my sister into the house.

The shopkeepers outside got up, and under the watchful eyes of the Huangtu village soldiers, they gathered in one place to discuss in a low voice, and elected the shopkeeper leader just now as the representative, and kissed into the courtyard of Qi's family.

Mastiff didn't need Sheng Jiaojiao's orders, he just lay on his stomach in the snow, hiding under the tree, sticking out his tongue, his eyes still fixed on those shopkeepers.

Everyone who saw it was amazed, this beast was too human, knowing that they hadn't dispersed and the crisis was still there, so he stood silently in the front yard, like a human being.

Inside the Qi family hall.

"The villain, Etuo, has seen Jiao Niang."

A shopkeeper in his 40s, with a beard on his face, wearing a coarse cotton padded jacket, and a gray cloth scarf around his neck, which covered his head, he was tall and thick, but his eyes were extremely shrewd.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat down at the head of the hall, Lu Shou leaned over, and whispered Etuo's identity beside Sheng Jiaojiao.

Speaking of this Etuo, he can be regarded as a very prestigious figure in the circle of shopkeepers. He has been running a business since he was a kid, and now he no longer fights alone, but has been recruiting a group of shopkeepers to form a caravan all year round. .

The route from South County to Zhishou County, from south to north, is a familiar route that Etuo often runs. Etuo is also familiar with the people's livelihood in Zhishou County. He knows that a large number of people in Zhishou County will starve to death at this time of year.

Therefore, this year, Etuo saw the business opportunity, gathered fifty or sixty shopkeepers, saved up enough capital, and transported grain from Nanjun to Zhishou County, just to make a lot of money at once.

How did he know that when the grain was brought to Nanji and wanted to be sold at a high price, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were pressing down on his grain price. His grain price could not cross that line. No one came to buy it.

At first, grain was sold at a low price, and there were still people coming to buy it at the South Market, but gradually, no one wanted even the grain at a low price, and he refused to sell the grain in his hand at a low price. But military pay and rations are still issued.

Not only that, after Tan Ji became the wing chief, the families of the military households who died in the Tiaoma Lake had pension rice or silver hair every month. Sexually made up both the pension rice and the pension silver.

This was an unheard of phenomenon in Zhishou County in the past, and it was even more unprecedented to support war with war.

E Tuo woke up instantly, feeling that something was wrong, and following some clues, he came to Sheng Jiaojiao of the Qi family.

He stood in the main room of the Qi family, and the girl sitting in front of him was also convinced, and he just cupped his hands and said:
"Jiaoniang, I made a guarantee to the brothers in the caravan. This time I guaranteed that they would not lose money, so they went bankrupt and followed me to Zhishou County, but now our money is all on these grains. , now it is really hard to continue, Jiao Niang let me wait for a way out, and I will let Jiao Niang demolish and move in the future."

"Sit first."

Sheng Jiaojiao casually looked at the seats, and when Lian Xin brought the saucer and the tea came, she waved her hand, took the tea cup on the table, gently picked up the tea lid, and said:
"This year's new rice, if it is shipped to other counties for sale, it will become old rice. Can it make money?"

"Of course you can't make money."

E Tuo looked embarrassed, just picked up the teacup on the small table, put it down again, sighed, got up again, and cupped his hands towards Sheng Jiaojiao,
"Jiao Niang's previous food was collected for your husband, right? It's the middle of winter, and I don't know how long this battle will last. Tan Yichang still has to use soldiers, and soldiers need food. Jiao Niang, your food , not too much."

Qi Rong, who was at the side, frowned and shouted:

"Why don't you think it's too much? My family collected so much grain from you some time ago, and it was all piled up in the warehouse to grow worms. The money was spent, and there is no money to collect your grain."

"Four!"

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Qi Rong, her face turned cold,
"Go back and write."

Qi Zhi didn't move, he held his sword and stood in the main room, refusing to leave.

If he left, what would this Etuo do to Sister?
However, he said these words out of anger, but it shocked E Tuo. What Qi Rong said meant that the food in Sheng Jiaojiao's hands did not go out to the barracks at all.

The food in her hand was so full of worms that even if it was consumed by the military camp, it would not be exhausted.

E Tuo hastily pinched his fingers to count the time, and looked at Lu Shou who was standing beside Sheng Jiaojiao, counting from the time Lu Shou first collected grain from the salesmen until now enough, enough, even if it is [-] The soldiers consume food non-stop every day, and the food in Sheng Jiaojiao's hands is enough to survive this severe winter.

What's more, Tan Ji still feeds the war with war, he may not use all the food collected by Sheng Jiaojiao, even if the country is not helpful, Tan Ji can still use the rich food captured to feed Sheng Jiaojiao.

There is no shortage of food in Jumping Horse Lake.

This year's mid-winter high-priced grain is impossible.

E Tuo hurriedly cupped his hands, bent down, and said respectfully:
"Jiao Niang, at the price of your last grain collection, you can't make any money. I'm willing to let you pay for the food, and just earn the travel expenses. I beg Jiao Niang to let me wait for a way out."

The money is stuck in food and leather goods. Now food can no longer make more money, as long as it does not lose money, but leather goods can still make money. The leather goods in Chaozong's hands are of good quality, and the supply is constant. The fur is shiny and smooth. You can see that it is a domestic product.

Nowadays, besides Tan Ji, who else can buy domestic fur goods in large quantities?
Then it would be even more impossible to offend Sheng Jiaojiao.

"In previous years, when there was no war and my family had no money to collect food, did you people, watching the starving people in Zhishou County die, have you ever thought about giving away the cheap food in your hands?"

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at E Tuo with calm, clear eyes.

She was not filled with righteous indignation, nor did she fight for the injustice of those Zhishou County people who were starved to death, as if she was talking with E Tuo about a matter, a mood, and a matter of fact.

Etuo felt a little ashamed on his face, folded his hands and lowered his eyes, opened his lips a few times, sat down, remained silent for a long time, and then said:
"When the villain came to Zhishou County for the first time, he brought a cart full of food. It was winter, and he went all the way north from South County. The further north he went, the more terrifying he saw. Everyone didn't have enough to eat, and they couldn't wear warm clothes. , looking haggard, begging everywhere, that time, before the villain reached Shanqing City, this cart of food was sold out, and I made a small profit."

Qi Rong on the side was about to draw his sword angrily, and was about to scold this brazen and mercenary shopkeeper, but Sheng Jiaojiao raised his hand and stopped Qi Rong from speaking.

Hearing E Tuo's slow voice again:
"The first time I made a small profit, I immediately went back to Nanjun, and transported another five vehicles, all the way to the north, all the way, all the way to sell grain, still before I reached Shanqing City, the grain was sold out, this time I made a lot of money , so I continued to turn around and back and forth several times. There were more and more carts pulling grain, and more and more shopkeepers traveling with me. However, the road in Zhishou County was still full of hunger and death, the living were still skinny, and the dead still had nowhere to bury them. .”

The living conditions in Zhishou County are the most difficult among the eighteen counties in Daze that Etuo has seen.

There may be people starving to death in other counties, but there are definitely not so many in Zhishou County. Everyone says that Zhishou County is aggressive, but when you really come to Zhishou County, if you know Zhishou County, you will know that the people here, What else is there to do besides being a soldier?
