Chapter 62
With the help of Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng, the speed of counting was much faster. In a few days, the money and food borrowed from the rich gentry, as well as the supplies left by Liu Liangzuo, were counted.

A total of 34500 taels of silver and 10000 shi of grain, of which 500 taels originally owned by the second brother were removed, and another 1000 taels were left to deal with the mighty general Zhao Yingyuan in Shangqiu, and the rest were divided between the second brother Gao and Liu Heizi.

Among them, the second brother got 20300 taels of silver and 6000 shi of grain.At present, the second brother has nearly 800 people. If they are all paid, they will need more than 1000 taels a month. The 2 taels of silver are enough for him for a year and a half, and the food is enough for these soldiers and their families to eat for two years.

If he farmed the land honestly, it would be impossible for Second Brother Gao to solve the problem of food and wages at once. Sure enough, only by getting rich quickly can his strength grow rapidly.

At this time, the second brother has completed the first round of financing, and his strength development has entered a fast track. However, he will definitely not put all the money and food there. He will leave half of it for his subordinates to spend, and the other half for the army and During the Ming Dynasty, they resold supplies and continued to accumulate wealth.

This time Liu Heizi also got a lot of benefits. There are 13200 taels of silver and 4000 shi of grain. However, he borrowed a lot of people from other captains, so he must give others some benefits. It doesn't matter how they are divided. It's the second brother's business.

In addition to money and food, a set of iron armor, [-] sets of cotton armor, seedling knives, spears, rattan tokens, and firecrackers were seized from the battlefield and the city.

For these things, the second brother wanted the firecracker, and Liu Heizi wanted the cotton armor to support the scene. After discussing for a while, the second brother finally asked for the iron armor, moved a yellow horse, and a hundred sets of cotton armor and All the firecrackers and gunpowder, the remaining two hundred sets of cotton armor, and all the miao knives and spears belonged to Liu Heizi.

In addition, the sixty or seventy officers and soldiers captured were divided into two according to the ratio of June [-]th.This time when the second elder brother assigned them, he thought carefully, he took away all those whose family members were in Bozhou, and distributed them to Liu Heizi if they were not.

In the east city of Bozhou, more than a thousand troops from Liu Heizi, driving vehicles full of food and money, assembled at the gate of the city, preparing to return to Yongcheng.

Gao Yihuan led a group of people to see Liu Heizi off. He pulled Liu Heizi to the side of the road and suddenly said, "Brother Liu, we have a happy cooperation this time. How about I give you another way of making money?"

Liu Heizi was worried that the officers and soldiers would come back to attack Bozhou, so he was in a hurry to evacuate. He looked at the team that had been loaded and ready to go, and said absent-mindedly: "What else is there to make money? Brother Gao, to be honest, this trip is enough It will take a while for my brother, after I go back, I am going to train my men and horses, and I don’t want to fight in the near future.”

This time, Liu Heizi saw the gap between himself and Gao Yihuan. He decided to train his soldiers well and did not plan to send troops to fight again.

This is not because he has the advantage of not wanting it, but because Bozhou is right between Luyi and Yongcheng. The officers and soldiers are afraid of being made dumplings, so there are not many troops stationed there. Others such as Suzhou, Mengcheng, and Xiao County are heavily stationed by officers and troops. Liu Heizi knew how to accept it as soon as it was good, but he didn't dare to touch it.

Gao Yihuan knew that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "It's not to fight the city."

"If you don't fight the city, what other sources of income are there?" Liu Heizi was a little puzzled.

Gao Yihuan scorned him in his heart. Apart from robbery, this reckless man probably didn't know other ways to make money.

Gao Yihuan then explained, "There is coal near Yongcheng, oh, there is coal, you can ask someone to find it, if you find it, I will give you silver, and you can ask my people to mine it, or you can sell it to me after mining it. All done!"

Liu Heizi still knew about charcoal, and the big families in Chenliu City used it to keep warm in winter.

"How do you buy and sell this?" Liu Heizi narrowed his eyes, and the light flickered.

Gao Yihuan said: "I can tell you that I have a great demand for this charcoal. This can only be discussed after Brother Liu finds the charcoal."

Hearing what Gao Yihuan said, Liu Heizi took this matter to heart. After all, it is also a good thing for him to be able to gain another source of income while training in Yongcheng.

"Okay, then when I return to Yongcheng, I will look for Brother Gao." Liu Heizi nodded and said proudly.

Seeing that he agreed, Gao Yihuan hugged his fist and said goodbye: "Then it's settled. Good brother, safe journey!"

Liu Heizi also cupped his fists and said, "Good brother, let's meet again!"

Immediately, Liu Heizi limped into a cart and led his men and horses towards Yongcheng. Gao Yihuan saw that they had gone far, so he led his subordinates back to the city.

"Daxian, Xinghao, Liu Heizi is gone, we should retreat too." Gao Yihuan said to the people around him as he walked, "The two of you will prepare later, then escort Yu Yinglong, Sun Yucheng and the others to bring money, food and supplies Escorted back to Luyi."

The two nodded, but Gao Xinghao asked, "Second Brother, what about you? Won't you come with us?"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "I stay with Shizhao and Zhuzi, and I still have something to do."

On that day, Zhao Daxian and others loaded money and food into vehicles, guarded nearly 2000 people, and transported supplies back to Luyi.

In the lobby of the Bozhou County Government, Gao Yihuan was sitting in the front seat, and Ma Yuanwai was sitting on the side with the restless half of his buttocks.

Brother Gao looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he smiled and said, "Does Ma Yuanwai want to ask me that others can go back after paying the money and food, why did I leave you in the county government office?"

Ma Yuanwai was told about the central matter, and said with a mournful face: "My lord, I have explained everything that needs to be explained, and I have nothing to hide!"

"Don't be nervous outside the horses. I'm keeping you here not to do anything to you. Don't call me a king, just call me Captain Gao." Gao Yihuan stretched out his hand and flicked the dust on his chest, "I believe you will It can be seen that I am different from that black carbon, I don't want to be a rogue."

Ma Yuanwai also felt that the person in front of him seemed to have some brain problems. He had never seen a thief who robbed someone and gave him an IOU.

Ma Yuanwai was a little confused about Second Brother Gao's way, but he felt that Second Brother Gao was indeed easier to talk to than Heitantou, so he hesitated for a while, and then boldly asked: "Then why did Captain Gao leave the old boy behind?" What do you mean? If there is something that the captain can use for the old and the young, the old and the young will never refuse."

A smile appeared on Gao Yihuan's face, "Just wait for the words of Ma Yuanwai." Gao Yihuan paused for a while, leaned forward, and said seriously: "This time, Ma Yuanwai suffered a lot. I feel a little sorry, so I want to send Ma Yuanwai away." A fortune."

Ma Yuanwai's heart tightened, he became a little nervous, and said to himself, just don't think about me, but don't give me any money.

However, Gao Yihuan continued: "The horsemen are in Bozhou, close to Henan. They should know that the price of grain in Henan is very expensive now. It has risen to more than ten taels, but the price of grain in Jiangnan is at most three taels." Gao Yi laughed and said: "Ma Didn't the staff find the huge business opportunity in it?"

Ma Yuanwai naturally knew about such an obvious price surprise, and immediately said in surprise: "My lord~ the captain means to let me resell the grain~"

Gao Yihuan nodded, "How about we work together?"

But the horseman shook his head in fear and said: "Your Majesty, the government will investigate this matter strictly. If you are caught by the officers and soldiers, you will be finished. Your Majesty, let me spare you."

Jiangnan gentry and Li Chuang are naturally opposed in terms of positions and class attributes, and the local thieves are still very strong.

Gao Yihuan did not give up, and continued: "I know that the officers and soldiers are very powerful, so before doing this, I would like to ask you to meet with Liu Liangzuo first, and say that I am willing to give up Bozhou for his convenience, or He can also participate~"
