Chapter 148 makes you want to vomit
Chen Changsheng's expression froze for a moment, "General, I went to buy it alone, and I didn't dare to buy too much. It would be too eye-catching..."

In fact, he only had fifty taels, so he could only buy so much. It was very hard for him to pull the goods alone, and he had to avoid people and take care of the rations of several old cows, otherwise the cows would lose their temper.

It is said that he bought a few old cows just to do this big business. Unfortunately, he used all his private property to buy the cows when they were old, otherwise it would only be more expensive.

The grain transport officer felt that this man's words were more credible. For them, 2,500 kilograms was only a few days of rations. For this family, it was enough for the whole family, and it was estimated that they would have to eat for ten and a half days. .

"Is it far from here?"

Chen Changsheng's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands, his heart was beating excitedly.

"It's not too far. General, do you want to show up?"

"No, let's go at night." The grain transport officer glanced in the direction of the city gate and said.

Chen Changsheng wanted to cry again. Damn it, these Southern Jin people just buy grain when they buy it. Why are they so annoying?

"Then I'll wait for the general outside the city?"

"No, you follow us."

Thanks to the grain transport team, Chen Changsheng successfully entered Nanzhou, but he was not happy at all and even a little scared.

This city is so dead.

There were many people in ragged clothes lying or sitting on the roadside. Chen Changsheng thought they were dead, but when a passerby mentioned them, he slowly moved aside like a dog.

Some impatient people stepped over with their oxen, horses, and carts. Immediately, their stomachs were disemboweled, blood flowed all over the ground, and their intestines were dragged out.

None of the people around him were scared. They actually started to giggle. A few of them jumped forward and couldn't see anything.

Chen Changsheng's pupils shrank and he quickly looked away, leaving only the sound of chewing in his ears.

Clicking, making you want to vomit.

Chen Changsheng suddenly felt regretful. Why did he come to a place like this to do business?

Isn’t it good that he is reselling rouge, gouache and groceries safely?
He couldn't help but look again.

I only saw those people with red mouths crawling back to their original positions. Their eyes were bright at the moment, but they only brightened for a moment, and then dimmed. Their eyes looked at everything the same, or in other words, they were not looking at anything. .

They are waiting for relief.

Chen Changsheng glanced at the grain transport officers beside him, but these people didn't even look over there.

Human life is like an ant.

It’s worthless, not even worth looking at.

Chen Changsheng felt sad. If Da Chu hadn't been powerful, he would have been like this, as would his mother, his eldest brother, his younger brother, his two younger sisters, and the Tian family.

But if he keeps calm, if one day Da Chu is like this, his descendants, the descendants of the Chen family, will be like this too.

You still have to climb up and go up to have more possibilities.

Now, he somewhat understands the thoughts of his eldest brother and my mother.

Chen Changsheng thought he would have to deal with these soldiers, but he didn't expect them to just put him in a tent. There was chaos for a while, as if General Yang had a conflict with that General Fan.

However, things got quiet afterwards until evening, when the grain transport officer changed into a dark brown suit and entered the tent and called Chen Changsheng away.

The other party took him on the boat and asked him to give directions.

Fortunately, he took a general note of the surrounding terrain when he came, and led the people into the abandoned village and the ancestral hall without any danger. When they entered, a gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone shivered unconsciously, "Brother, you are so brave, this is my ancestral hall..."

Chen Changsheng chuckled, "What's the matter? You guys are here, don't be afraid."

This word of trust made all the soldiers present laugh a few times, and the chill faded a lot, and they all secretly thought that this boy could talk.

Chen Changsheng laughed as well, but wiped the sweat from his forehead, mentally accusing his ancestors.

He had to say this, otherwise he would be killed.

Guilty sin.

"Ah! General, this food is much better than what we bought in Nanzhou City!"

Someone had already opened a bag of grain, and the eyes of everyone present were green. The grain transport officer kicked the man who was approaching with a torch, "Damn it, you haven't seen anything to eat, have you? If you get so close, give it to me again." I’m burned!”

After that, more than ten or twenty big men surrounded Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng was startled. When he saw them, they all had excited faces and green eyes.

"Little brother, tell me, how much does it cost?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and gestured with two fingers, "I bought it near An County. The price of food has also risen sharply near An County. It cost me 250 coins per catty. I lost some money and sold it to the general for 200 coins. A pound.”

"General, it's so easy... Ouch!" The soldier who spoke looked very young. When he heard the price, his eyes narrowed with joy, and he asked the grain transport officer to slap him.

Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes. It seemed that the food in Nanzhou had been sold at sky-high prices. His price was already very cheap, but the other party still wanted to take advantage.

Sure enough, the grain transport officer coughed and felt a little embarrassed, "Little brother, I know I've put you in a difficult position, but we don't have enough money on hand. Let's see if we can make it cheaper?"

Chen Changsheng looked extremely embarrassed, "Although the food from Chu is cheap, the general can't let me get it much cheaper. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my master when I go back."

This was said sincerely, but this group of people still had some conscience. The grain transport officer pondered, "Look, little brother, I really don't have much money on hand, and it's not convenient for you to transport it back to Nanzhou. Why don't you sell it to me for a hundred coins..."

Chen Changsheng's eyes widened. Although the price he said he gave to the other party was multiplied several times, the bargaining was too great.

Bah, no wonder the previous dynasty was destroyed. Although there are many poisonous insects in Nanzhou, if you can grow food stably, you will definitely gain a lot.

"How about... one hundred and fifty coins? If you don't sell it, little brother, I really won't be able to buy it."

The grain transport officer turned his head and did not dare to look at Chen Changsheng. He really had no money in his hand. Their general was a loyal and filial man, so he naturally had to save more.

"... Come on, my master has always admired the bravery of General and General Yang. I think my master will understand this little money."

In this way, Chen Changsheng got forty-seven taels of gold, which should be converted into four hundred and seventy taels of silver. The other party also included the cows. Chen Changsheng said touchingly, saying that he had a few old cows, so he bought them from his family. After a long time, he would sell it to them at the original price and then buy a new one.

Excluding these and the 50 taels of capital, the net profit from food is 375 taels of silver, which has increased sevenfold!

Chen Changsheng touched the gold and restrained his urge to bite the gold.

Where had he seen so much gold?
It's so shiny, it actually shines gold under such dim firelight.

Oh my god, Chen Changsheng almost laughed out loud, he did it!

Chen Changsheng gritted his teeth to suppress his excitement. He was currently playing the role of a servant of a wealthy family, so he shouldn't be overjoyed over this little gold.

"Little brother, it's getting late now and the city gate is closed. Why don't you go back with us?"
