Chapter 41 Population Expansion
Jia Nian led Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu, and Gu Enze, holding crossbows, swords, and broadswords, and rushed all the way along the embankment of Chaohu Lake.

The bright light pierced people's eyes, and everyone subconsciously covered it with their hands.A row of arrow towers appeared in front, and countless bows and crossbows pointed at them.

In front of the gate of the water village, a group of water thieves with big knives in their hands stared at Jia Nian and his party.As long as the leader gave an order, he rushed forward and chopped these uninvited guests into minced meat.

"Stop!" A water thief standing in front of the gate of Baifan Water Village yelled at Jia Nian.

Only then did Jia Nian and Guo Dapang come to their senses. Looking up at the row of bows and arrows in front of them, a lot of cold sweat broke out on their backs: "We are villagers from Changhe Village. We are here to look for Zhao Ergou."

"Zhao Ergou?" Hearing Jia Nian's reply, the water thief waved his hand, and the alert was lifted instantly.

Looking up and down Jia Nian, he revealed a look of sudden realization: "So it's the village head Jia of Changhe Village."

"What is the purpose of you looking for Ergou this time?" The water thief thought of Jia Nian's purchase of population a few days ago, and a smile appeared on his face.In any case, they have no reason not to like this kind of people who not only relieve Shuizhai's worries but also donate money to Shuizhai.

Jia Nian smiled at the water thief: "I heard that the boss is kind, so I thought about it when I went back, and wanted to make some contributions to the water village."

"Oh." The water thief responded with a smile, and Changhe Village is really rich and stupid: "Mr. Jia, wait a moment, I'll go in and call Zhao Ergou out."

"Please" Jia Nian bowed to the water thief.

The water thief quickly turned around and quickly ran into the water village.

Seeing the back of the water thief gradually going away, Jia Nian smiled at Guo Dapang.

Guo Dapang hugged the small wooden box and shrugged his shoulders at Jia Nian, showing a helpless look.

Just as he was about to say something, a series of footsteps came from the water village ahead.

"Mr. Jia" Zhao Ergou shouted at Jia Nian with a smile on his face, the corner of his mouth cracked to reveal a big white tooth.

There was still a vegetable leaf on Big White's teeth, obviously he was eating just now and hadn't had time to clean it up.

Before Jia Nian could make a sound, Zhao Ergou seemed to be aware of the existence of this vegetable leaf, so he wiped it off with his hands naturally: "I made Village Chief Jia laugh."

"It's okay," Jia Nian replied to Zhao Ergou.

The smile on Zhao Ergou's face became even stronger: "Mr. Jia is our distinguished guest, and I dare not neglect it."

"I don't know how many people Village Chief Jia wants when he comes this time," Zhao Ergou asked Jia Nian.

Without thinking, Jia Nian said to Zhao Ergou: "Ten young and strong!"

"Ten young and strong?" Zhao Ergou frowned.

Guo Dapang added to Zhao Ergou: "We will not make it difficult for you, a young man plus their family, the price is 1500 yuan."

"Ten young and strong, plus their family, that is 15000 yuan," Guo Dapang said to Zhao Ergou.

Then he changed the subject: "But we have one condition, I hope Guizhai can accommodate you."

"Are you still asking for conditions?" Zhao Ergou's expression changed rapidly, and he asked Fatty Guo.

Jia Nian didn't make a sound, but asked Fatty Guo to continue.After all, as the head of the village, once he said something to death, it might be an irreparable loss.But Fatty is different, even if their conversation collapses, he can get back together.

"In terms of business and business, Guizhai should still have the courage to do so," Guo Dapang said with a smile to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou became a little interested: "Tell me first, what are the conditions?"

"It is reasonable to say that we should not raise conditions. However, Guizhai also knows the situation in our Changhe Village. If 50 people are resettled at once, there will inevitably be troubles. So we hope that Guizhai can give 50 of Sun Deqiu's fellow villagers. This is also easy to manage." Guo Dapang told Zhao Ergou about the conditions of Changhe Village.

Jia Nian followed Guo Dafat's words and added: "Guizhai also needs our Changhe Village to have the strength to continue to resettle refugees, so that we can keep sharing the worries of the head of the family, so we think this is the most appropriate method."

"Do you need their fellow countrymen?" Zhao Ergou asked Jia Nian, but looked at Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, thinking nonstop.

Seeing the crossbows in their hands, there was a flash of astonishment: "Changhe Village has such a good trick, they actually registered them as crossbowmen in such a short period of time."

"Forget it, this time I will help you all." Zhao Ergou sighed to Jia Nian, as if he made this difficult decision with great determination.

What they said made sense. Changhe Village was undoubtedly one of the best choices for Baifan Water Village to get rid of this huge burden.Only Changhe Village has a strong force to resettle the elderly, weak, women and children among these refugees.

Of course, this strength does not refer to military strength.

"But you also need to pay the money first before you can take the person," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian winked at Guo Dapang, Guo Dapang immediately understood and opened the small wooden box.

Looking at the gold in the small wooden box, Zhao Ergou's eyes almost stared straight.

"15000 yuan is 1 gold and 50 taels," Guo Dapang said to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted at Jia Nian: "Wait a minute"

Hearing this sentence, Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze became nervous at the same time, fearing that something might happen.

"Hardware, I need hardware." Zhao Ergou opened his blood-red eyes and said to Jia Nian, a trace of banditry quietly spread.

Before Jia Nian could reply, Guo Dapang jumped anxiously: "No, it's business, do you want to lose your reputation at Baifan Water Village?"

"Twenty, I'll give you twenty young and strong, plus two hundred old and weak women and children." Zhao Ergou stared at the small wooden box with blood-red eyes.No, I have to find a way to earn the gold in this wooden box.

Thirty gold, I didn't expect Changhe Village to be so rich.Even Baifan Water Village, which dominates Chaohu Lake, cannot earn so much in a short period of time.

“二十个青壮？”郭大胖不假思索的继续盘算：“1金50两就能买到10个青壮，40个老弱妇孺。3金就是20个青壮80个老弱妇孺，4金50两就是30个青壮160个老弱妇孺”

"Exchanging 50 taels for 40 old and weak women and children looks like we have made a profit, but after careful calculation, we have lost money, okay?" Guo Dapang said to Zhao Ergou.

All the water thieves looked at Fatty Guo, and finally their eyes fell on the small wooden box in his hand.

Feeling these gazes, Jia Nian secretly broke into a cold sweat.When Guo Dapang wanted to bring thirty gold, he was taken aback by him, fearing that he would be robbed by Baifan Water Village.

But in order to buy good things, you can only gamble once.

"cough"

A crisp cough sounded, Zhao Ergou looked around majesticly, and all the water thieves on both sides retracted their necks.

"Our Baifan water village is based on credibility and principles," Zhao Ergou said slowly, and a silent warning spread.

Jia Nian, Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

As long as principles and credibility are concerned, it seems that this time the bet may be right.Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
