Chen Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at his elder brother and found that he was also staring at him. He felt guilty and lowered his head as he confessed.

This is also a coincidence.

Chen Changsheng took fifty taels, feeling very excited. He originally wanted to go to Jinle to buy some rouge and gouache and sell it to Goulan Market.

He had a very good idea, and when the time came, he would brag that it was a new product from Yangzhou. Everyone in Yangzhou, from noble ladies to the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion, would use this.

Anyway, with just his mouth, there's nothing he can't sell.

The road was diverted with money, but on the way, Chen Changsheng bumped into a group of refugees, saying they had escaped from An County, where people from the Southern Jin Dynasty were threshing grass and grain, and robbed many people of their food.

Speaking of this, Chen Changsheng was a little afraid to look at my mother and eldest brother. He felt that this matter was probably not moral in the eyes of eldest brother and my mother.

"Refugees also fled here last year, also because of the Southern Jin Dynasty's harvesting of grass and valleys. I thought that the remaining soldiers in the Southern Jin Dynasty were short of food and grass, and the people were even more in need, so I took the fifty taels and bought one in Jixian County. The carts of coarse grains reached the border between Anxian County and Southern Jin Dynasty."

"Pretending to be a wealthy businessman from the Southern Jin Dynasty, he entered Nanzhou in the Southern Jin Dynasty and sold grain at a high price."

Meng Tan felt frightened for a while. This kid is so courageous!
But... there is no food in the Southern Jin Dynasty!

Moreover, it seems that their own people have no food. After their own people have robbed it, it is time to rob others...

Changhe Town may not be safe anymore.

Meng Tan's heart beat slightly, hiding a hint of panic.

I quickly pulled people over and looked around, squeezing here and there.

[The Southern Jin army has no food and grass, so it will definitely rob the people, so you just pretend to be a wealthy businessman? Didn't they rob you? Didn't he kill you either? ]

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng raised his head and glanced at Meng Tan, and found that apart from the interest in hearing the gossip, his face was full of worry.

Chen Changsheng felt relieved. He secretly took a look at his elder brother's expression and found that he was mostly worried, so he chuckled, his cunning aura clearly revealed.

"The process was naturally not that simple. It all relied on my wisdom. I bumped into a team transporting grain from the Southern Jin Dynasty..."

It was dangerous to say that Chen Changsheng first hid the grain truck in a nearby deserted village. The village had been abandoned for a long time and grass had grown in the houses.

Chen Changsheng believed that the most dangerous place is the safest place, so he hid the grain cart alone in the ancestral hall of the village.

A man approached Nanzhou and found that the house was under strict inspection and there was a general-looking man at the door. Chen Changsheng felt frightened and turned back. As a result, he bumped into someone's grain transport team. Chen Changsheng became even more flustered and hurriedly let go. To the side.

It was Chen Changsheng's luck that as soon as the food transport team arrived at the city gate, they were detained by the general guarding the city gate.

"This is food for the army. Naturally, it will be supplied to General Fan first. General Fan raises elites in the army. If this food cannot keep up, how can we protect Nanzhou and the people!"

Chen Changsheng looked at the group of skinny people with hopeless eyes waiting in line for inspection, and felt contempt in his heart. These remnants of the Southern Jin Dynasty deserved the destruction of the dynasty, otherwise he would have to be inseparable from these people.

The grain transport officer dared not speak out in anger, so he could only say in a polite voice: "General, General Yang bought this grain with his own money. If you take this away, how will I explain to General Yang?"

Unexpectedly, the general sneered, raised his hand and slapped the grain transport officer, pointed at the grain transport officer and scolded him, "General Yang is just a subordinate general under General Fan. He is a subordinate, but he actually eats private food by himself! Fan!" It’s a good thing if the general doesn’t deal with him!”

After that, he waved back and said, "Come here, take this cart of food away for me!" "General!"

The grain transport officer's eyes turned red with anger. Without thinking, he pulled out a knife from the other side and placed it on his neck with a cold light. "If you say one more thing, believe it or not, if I chop you down, then General Yang won't even say a fart." !”

The grain transport officer gritted his teeth and endured it. Chen Changsheng took a closer look at the grain cart and saw that some of the grain was exposed on the sides of the cart. Most of it was unhusked wheat, which looked shriveled.

For such food, both sides would even use knives to snatch it, so those coarse grains he had could be considered fine grains. The food supply in this city was probably even more scarce.

In that compartment, the gatekeeper general had already taken the grain truck away.

The huge benefits were in front of him, tempting Chen Changsheng, and his fear was greatly diluted.

Seeing that the grain transport officer was about to enter the city, Chen Changsheng gritted his teeth, raised a smile and shouted loudly: "General! So you are here! It's easy to find a villain!"

The grain transport officer turned around and looked at Chen Changsheng with a calm expression. However, when he saw Chen Changsheng's pale face and plump figure, he pressed down the trace of fear that he would be robbed of food. In Nanzhou, there are no people with such a figure now. It has a great background.

"What's the matter?" The grain transport officer had a dull look on his face.

Chen Changsheng was shaking a little, but he still had the courage to ask in a low voice, "General, do you still want food?"

The grain transport officer narrowed his eyes and hurriedly pulled Chen Changsheng aside. He looked Chen Changsheng up and down and said, "Which family do you belong to? I have seen all the grain sellers in the city, but I have never seen you."

Chen Changsheng's alarm suddenly went off, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he could hardly breathe.

"General, you know, General Fan is like this. How dare my master sell it openly? Besides, he has offended General Fan and is being pressed hard."

At this point, Chen Changsheng glanced at the grain transport officer's expression, and then continued, "My master knows who works for the people in the city, and he doesn't want his grain to be given away to unworthy people. "

The grain transport officer chuckled twice, "General Fan is the commander-in-chief. Who dares to resist? I know who your master is, but why are you the only one?"

Chen Changsheng swallowed. He never thought that he would encounter a dead rat. It really did. It seemed that General Fan was really not a human being.

"I usually do menial work for my master, but this time I was forced hard, and I had no choice but to send me out to buy food from Thief Chu, just to prepare for the day when he was... The masters in the family have also settled down. The place……"

Chen Changsheng wiped his tears, feeling aggrieved for himself. It was really not easy for him. This time he really understood what it means to gain wealth through danger.

But the grain transport officer believed it. General Fan had always been like this. If their general hadn't been down and out, and had listened to the treacherous officials' slander, why would he be so sad...

For a moment, both of them felt sad.

Chen Changsheng did not forget the business and said hurriedly: "I bought the grain and hid it in an abandoned village in Tiechu. Originally, I thought of going to the city to find people to move to the village, but I met the general. Our masters all say how good the general and General Yang are, and how miserable the people of Nanzhou will be without you."

"If I meet General Yang, even if there is no food left, I still have to sell it to General Yang. It's not a coincidence. I didn't meet General Yang, but I met you, General. I thought the same thing. I don’t know how much the general wants, but I have 2,500 kilograms of grain.”

At the beginning of spring this year, the price of coarse grains rose to 20 cents per pound, which was five or six cents more expensive than in previous years.

The more expensive it is, the happier he is, which means that it will only be more expensive in Southern Jin Dynasty.
