Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 53

"Son, keep this big white rabbit toffee. Take a piece of it in your mouth before the battle. It will give you strength to kill the enemy."

"..."

Everyone took out the good things at home and stuffed them into the arms of the piers.

The expressions on the faces of the piers were both shy and excited.

At the same time, they all firmly refused.

Uncle Lai Gen hid behind the crowd, with a dry pipe dangling from his mouth, smoking blah blah, and looked at Zhao Cheng with a look of applause.

Usually, Zhao Cheng often publicizes that the military and civilians are a family, and that the peaceful life in Qiangdi is bought by the pier soldiers with their flesh and blood.

The image of the strong land army in the hearts of ordinary people is already very good.

But to talk about eating pot pulp with such enthusiasm, it is actually not possible for the time being.

After the pier soldiers who had just set off for the expedition were disbanded, Zhao Cheng found Uncle Lai Gen, and explained to Uncle Lai Gen the meaning of the word "Tan Shihu Porridge" and the source of the allusion.

Uncle Lai Gen soon "understood".

He already had a high prestige in the village, and now he is the director of the street office, so it is naturally convenient for him to do things.

These people are not considered trustees, it can only be said that they did not expect this. After being "reminded" by Uncle Lai Gen, they each sent off with good things.

The atmosphere is good, and Zhao Cheng is very satisfied.

Tan eats pots of pulp, and the military and civilians are a family.

When the soldiers go to the front line, as long as they think of the fathers and villagers who are behind them to see them off and fully support them, how can they not work hard?

Li Gaoyi had just come out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and his horse was carrying two big bags, which were bulging and filled with various commodities.

There are too many good things in this supply and marketing cooperative!

Erguotou in glass bottles only costs 9 yuan for food stamps.

The baijiu in it is dry and delicious. It is a wine for real men, and it is very popular in strong places.

This wine can be tasted for free.

Li Gaoyi took a sip, and the hot feeling rolled from his throat to his stomach...

My whole body felt like it was on fire, warm and comfortable.

He is a drinker and has never had such a good drink before.

Just for this bottle of wine, if you take it to Shun Shengchuan or Huai'an City, it might fetch a sky-high price.

Li Gaoyi has absolutely no doubt about how much those guys who like to drink are willing to give for this sip of spirits!

And if you take it outside the Great Wall and sell it to those Tartars...

Li Gaoyi took a slight breath, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Li Gaoyi has been a servant in Xuanfu Town for so many years, and he has dealt with Mongolian Tartars.

The poor of the Mongolian Tartars are very poor, but their princes and nobles have a lot of cattle, sheep, gold and silver wealth. The key point is that they all have good wine and luxurious temperament.

In name, the imperial court controls border trade and only opens mutual markets at designated locations.

This mutual market cannot be guaranteed to be open for a long time, and it will be closed at any time.

In this unstable market, wine and tea are the most popular commodities.

Of course, the Jurchen Tartars prefer to ask for pig iron and grain, which are controlled by the imperial court and are not allowed to be sold.

Like some unscrupulous Shanxi merchants who sell secretly, that is foreign language...

What Li Gaoyi thinks of now is a way to get rich.

Here, a bottle of Erguotou costs only 9 yuan food stamps, which is equivalent to a few liters of grain.

If he can sell it outside the Great Wall, there will be plenty of people snapping up the hundred liters of grain!
And it's just wine.

The wine bottle, which is said to be called a glass bottle, surprised him even more.

It was clearly Liuli!
Such clarity is simply priceless.

Get rich!
In Li Gaoyi's mind, there was only one thought at this moment.

He, Li Gaoyi, has become rich!
The only regret is that this thing is limited to sale, that is to say, one person can only buy one bottle at most.

Those who sell things refuse to sell.

This is really unheard of thing.

But if you think about such a good thing, it only sells 9 yuan food stamps, and you can understand it.

For this purchase restriction, he feels that there is no solution.

This supply and marketing cooperative belongs to Zhao Zongqi's family.

Li Gaoyi felt that, in terms of his relationship with Zhao Zongqi, it should be no problem to ask Zhao Zongqi for help and cancel the purchase restriction, right?
As long as he can get a few bottles and sell them outside the Great Wall, he can make a fortune in no time.

At this time, Zhang Wei, a hundred households, had already led the team and rushed to the marketing camp.

Lord Qianhu is in charge of commanding the suppression of bandits this time, and Zhang Wei is just one of the troops.

Zhang Wei sent Li Gaoyi to inform Zhao Cheng after he set off, so that Zhao Cheng could not arrive in time.

According to the original script, after Li Gaoyi delivered the order, he should go after Zhang Wei.

He is alone and on horseback, so his speed is naturally much faster than marching.

But now, Li Gaoyi hesitated.

Are you really going to chase Zhang Wei?
Fighting is risky!
If you fight on the battlefield, you might die.

In the past, he wouldn't think much about it.

servant!
Serving as a soldier eats food, enjoys the generous treatment of the general, usually eats enough, and fights desperately with the general at critical moments, that's what it should be.

Their family members are different from ordinary military households.

But now, he has a way of making money!

Seeing that they can develop, they can enjoy the glory and wealth.

If he goes all the way, he won't be reconciled!

At this moment, crowds gathered on the street, and deafening shouts continued to come.

Li Gaoyi casually grabbed a passerby to inquire about it, and he heard that the strong army was going to march.

He quickly followed the crowd.

Then, he saw a scene that shocked him.

Fifty pier soldiers, each with one man and two horses, were well-equipped, and exuded a sturdy aura from all over their bodies.

They are marching out of town.

On both sides of the road, there are crowds of people holding eggs and meat...

Keep stuffing the piers.

The piers were smiling and refusing...

"It turns out that there is such a thing as Tanshihu pulp!"

The shock in Li Gaoyi's heart cannot be described in words.

The soldiers dare to fight, the equipment is excellent, the army and the people are united...

Li Gaoyi doesn't know too many words, but this is how he feels right now.

Moreover, he knew that such a person was definitely not easy to mess with.

At the very least, Zhang Wei will never be offended.

"Zhang Baihu, Zhang Baihu! It's not good for you to provoke someone, but Zhao Cheng..."

Li Gaoyi thought of the scene when he followed Zhao Cheng back to Ludun for the first time.

One named Wang Gousheng provoked Zhao Cheng.

As a result, Zhao Cheng rode his horse and was knocked into the air.

After Li Gaoyi came again, he never saw that dog leftover.

Zhao Cheng is definitely a ruthless person!
Zhang Baihu is going to die!
This thought flashed through Li Gaoyi's mind.

He didn't have much emotion.

Zhang Baihu is not too generous.

The opponent's servant is very average.

Li Gaoyi belonged to the kind who served as a soldier and had no special favors, so he couldn't say he was sincere.

"Don't go to the marketing camp! Go north, go beyond the Great Wall!"

Li Gaoyi has acquaintances in the frontier army, so it should be no problem to go out alone.

He had to find a way to exchange for two more bottles of Erguotou, and then go outside the Great Wall to make a fortune.

……

chemical marketing camp.

Zhang Wei was dressed in military uniform.

Chief Banner Officer Sun Kang stood behind him.
