“It’s too much to bully others!”
“It’s really too much to bully others!”
Zhao Feng’s attributes As soon as the official approached the tent, he heard his general talking about something inside. Although the words were angry, his tone didn't sound angry. He calmed down with relief and was about to make a report when Zhao Feng's dissatisfied voice came from the tent.
“Come in! Are you standing outside drinking the northwest wind?”
The confidant officials opened the curtain in a funny way.
He joked: "I just heard the general saying that 'it's too much to bully others', but that Mr. Shen has given you another problem?"
The cold wind was howling outside.
It was warm and cozy inside the tent.
Zhao Feng was even more carefree and shirtless - brave warriors are so willful and have first-class frost resistance - sitting on the spacious makeshift bed, the wooden basin for soaking his feet was filled with mist. There is a thinly veiled book in his hand.
When Zhao Feng saw him coming, he pointed to the mat on one side.
Said: "I have never been difficult, but..."
Zhao Feng's expression was hard to describe.
I think he is also one of the six brave generals under the lord Wu Xian's command. He has gained a reputation as a brave warrior at a young age and is a good soldier who is good at fighting. In order to repay Shen Tang for saving his life in front of the formation, he followed Shen Tang to Heyin County with a thousand personal troops.
"Maybe it was a wrong decision for me to come to repay my kindness!" He wrung out the hot cloth with both hands and complained while wiping his feet, "I only killed a few bandits at the beginning. These days They are either demolishing the house or transporting the debris in a chariot, and now they are still letting people plow the land! This is too much! I think I am also the twelfth grader..."
I have never suffered this kind of grievance!
Confidant officer: "..."
He lowered his eyelids and glanced at his general's basin of foot-washing water - the bottom of the water was turbid and full of washed sediment.
The corners of his mouth seemed to curl up uncontrollably.
My general Zhao is very resistant in words, but very cooperative in action. Zhao Feng noticed the sight of his trusted subordinates, his old face blushed slightly, and said: "What do you mean? Can your general refuse? Hateful! Uncle Gong didn't refuse even a step! There is no trace of the pride that a brave warrior should have... …”
Plowing the fields, isn’t that the work of plowing cattle?
It really makes the courageous warriors act like cows and horses...
Zhao Feng muttered.
The confidant official shook his head helplessly. Gong Shuwu was loyal to Lord Shen, so he naturally could not disobey Lord Shen's orders. His general was here to repay his kindness and was a "distinguished guest". If the general refused firmly, Lord Shen would not be able to force him to plow the land.
After all, the general is too talkative.
The confidant officer was curious: "How many acres did the general plow?"
Zhao Feng subconsciously replied: "Not many, about fifty acres."
The tone was still a little proud. .
No!
He competed with Gong Shuwu.
In the end, he defeated Gong Shuwu and came out on top.
The confidant official took a breath of air when he heard this.
Zhao Feng, who was quick-tongued for a moment: "..."
The confidant officials did not notice the stiffness on his face - after all, a tenth-level Zuo Shuchang and a twelfth-level Zuo Geng competes in plowing, there is really nothing to be proud of.
What are you proud of?
How can you be proud of yourself and be better than a plowing cow?
Where does this place the dignity and belief of a brave warrior!
The confidant officer screamed in shock: "Fifty acres?"
Zhao Fengdao: "Yes."
This is still only half a day's workload.
Plowing a piece of land requires a lot.
The depth cannot be less than ten inches, and the operation standards are "plowing through, plowing carefully, and raking level". It also includes straw crushing business, simple fertilization, and special personnel to clean up the weeds and branches on the fields. In order to ensure the quality of plowing, he and Gong Shuwu also pay attention to the direction of the force of the move, ensuring that the plowing is good, the plowing is straight, and the surface is flat, and strive not to miss an inch of land...
The head of the field is neat, and the ground is flat. Plow well.
In order to do this, they rotated through eighteen martial arts skills on the field, which was tiring both physically and mentally.
Zhao Feng has almost summarized a set of farming experience.
He twisted the cloth viciously.
I was so angry that my teeth itched.
The confidant official said: "This, this is really amazing."
In his memory, it is usually the cattle dragging the heavy straight-shaft wooden plow, slowly swinging the tail of the cattle , helping farmers plow their fields calmly. In addition, the straight-shaft wooden plow is heavy and difficult to turn, so you can imagine how low the efficiency of plowing is.
Farming cattle are not yet available in every household.
Usually it is shared by several households.
After plowing for a while, you need to rest for a few days.
At the peak of the farming season, even if the common people use manpower to plow the land, they cannot make the cattle work overload, because its life is more valuable than the common people. The farming efficiency is very low. Even after the common people work for a whole year, the whole family will still go hungry.
My general only went out for half a day, and when he came back, he actually told him that he had plowed about fifty acres?
It’s really fifty acres, not fifty cents?
He repeatedly confirmed with Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng also answered in the affirmative again and again with a good temper.
Seeing the expressions of his trusted subordinates, he guessed something and muttered: "So what if you have this ability? To do this, you have to be at least a tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang, whose strength is slightly lower. I can’t do so much work..."
Although the working time is not long, farming requires a lot of land. In a short period of time, his Dan Mansion's martial energy was emptied twice. If Chu Yao hadn't helped him recover, he would have been carried back today instead of riding back by himself.
Who can hire a tenth-level Zuo Shu chief and a second-level Chinese scholar to cultivate fifty acres of land?
That is to say, he came to repay his favor (thrown himself into a trap), Gong Shuwu could not refuse his master, Chu Wuhui allowed Shen Jun to do whatever he wanted - and there was a scene of two brave warriors plowing the land.
How much profit does fifty acres of land produce?
The confidant officer did not think so. He said: "Other brave warriors cannot cultivate as much land in a short time as the general, but they can divide it into several days, or send more brave warriors. , such as low-ranking public servants, second-class superiors..."
Zhao Feng sneered when he heard this.
Throw the wrung towel aside and stand up.
"Things are not that simple. How many brave warriors are not practicing for the sake of becoming a master? Looking for a decent and serious job without having to face the loess and back to the sky? Who is willing to work hard as a family for several years and end up on the dirt? Rolling around?”
Zhao Feng saw this very clearly.
He could not refuse out of repayment of kindness.
In addition, Shen Tang asked himself for help, instead of deliberately humiliating himself, and had no intention of letting him work in the fields.
Zhao Feng is willing to do it out of a "game" mentality, just to compete with Gong Shuwu to pass the time.
What about other brave warriors?
There are very few who are willing.
Lack of food?
Just attack those with food.
Robbing is more efficient than honest farming.
In the past, it was not without monarchs' whims to let brave warriors do this, but as a result, either high-level warriors became disloyal and rebelled, or they were diligent in farming and neglected to practice, and were eventually destroyed by neighboring countries. In this world, strength is the foundation of everything!
Furthermore——
Due to the frequent natural and man-made disasters, bumper harvests are extremely rare in three years out of ten, and the rest are mostly disaster years... The output of one acre of land is really It's too little, and that little bit of value is not worthy of a brave warrior's "condescension from the noble".
The trusted officials heard this and said no more.
Zhao Feng asked again: "What are you doing here?"
Skip previous topics.
The confidant officer then remembered what he was doing.
"Bringing wine to the general." Zhao Feng said: "Wine?"
Wine is brewed from grain.
That is a "luxury product". There is no place to buy it in a poor place like Fugu City. Only Shen Jun has a lot of fine wine.
Zhao Feng wanted to drink it and asked for it.
However, considering Shen Jun's financial constraints, he also tried to restrain his drinking. Counting carefully, he hadn't had a good drink for several days. The jars brought by his confidants actually contained wine? Then he's welcome.
“Why does this wine look like Shen Jun’s?”
Zhao Feng could tell the problem as soon as he tasted it.
Drinks are hard to come by, and good wine is even rarer.
Since leaving his lord Wu Xian, he has only tasted such high-quality wine from Shen Jun. These drinks are either collected from the wine cellars of Fugu's local gangsters or belong to Shen Jun.
guessing the latter is more likely.
Unexpectedly, the answer from his confidant was no. He said: "No, I bought it at Fugu Department Store with 'wine sticks'."
Zhao Feng was surprised: " Fugu Department Store?”
Literally speaking, Zhao Feng knew what it was, but according to his understanding, there seemed to be no such place in Fugu City.
The confidant officer smiled and said: "After work these two days, Mr. Shen settled a lot of strange notes. After my subordinates went to understand it, they collected enough wine notes with a group of brothers. ', I went to the Fugu Department Store and bought you some jars of wine. "
The Fugu Department Store is affiliated with the administration.
Although the shop is simple, it sells a lot of things.
Except for a few items, most are in limited supply every day and can only be purchased with "slips" that are settled at the end of each day. Every day, a sign will be erected in front of the store, saying that today's discounted products are very affordable.
Shen Tang had to take care of the food of the one thousand people brought by Zhao Feng, and would also be given a certain amount of wages for their daily work.
The soldiers have no place to spend, and they have a lot of notes in their hands.
The confidant official accidentally entered the makeshift "Fugu Department Store" and saw a lot of good things inside, especially the price tags of fine wines, which made him even more excited. He robbed me of these two days, sharing the drinking with a bunch of brothers, beautiful!
There are two altars left to share with General Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng muttered: "It's quite novel."
Very novel indeed.
At first, no one cared about Fugu Department Store.
Even if someone came to exchange it, they would exchange it for cakes and take them home for their family to eat. Later, someone had the courage to go in and found that there were quite a lot of items inside. The key is that the price is 10% cheaper than other places, so you can’t buy more if you want.
It is said that it cannot affect the interests of other merchants.
Limited supply daily.
And you have to bring the corresponding "slip" in exchange.
Not only that, there are also "special offers" every day.
Someone counted on their fingers——
After doing the math, I was completely moved.
If you don’t buy it, you will lose money!
Especially "cloth", "salt" and other items must be purchased, so it's a good deal to buy them during the event. Coupled with the fact that clerks walked around the streets and beat gongs and drums to promote other products, other products gradually came into the eyes of the people, and the number of customers in the stores increased visibly. Every day after work, ordinary people holding various kinds of notes would come in to exchange needed items...
There were even ordinary people exchanging their own things with other workers for notes of equal value, each getting what he needed.
The most difficult to buy in Fugu Department Store, or the most expensive one, is the "house" on the highest shelf!
There are too many “house items” required!
But in real terms, this is the most affordable.
The lot ranges from the southwest corner to the northeast corner of Fugu City, and the area ranges from three for a family to three or five rooms. They are displayed in the most conspicuous place of Fugu Department Store. Almost every guest who comes in from the door can see them...
"Here are three pancakes..."
"A piece of coarse cloth..."
"Is there any more salt?"
"Take three ounces of oil."
"Where are the shoes? Are they sold out?"
Outside Fugu Department Store.
Common people have already lined up after work.
One exit, one entrance.
There are young and strong guards on both sides of the store who are not easy to mess with. Behind the counter is a burly middle-aged man. His hair is quite gray, but he seems to be in good spirits. Although he was dressed plainly, he gave people the impression that he was even more difficult to deal with than the two young men at the door. Zhao Feng was startled when he saw this person.
He called out in shock: "Why is Mr. Yang here?"
Yes, the middle-aged man behind the counter is Captain Yang.
Although the injury has been fully recovered, after all, his vitality has been severely damaged, and now he has no martial energy to protect his body. In addition, the weather is cold, so he will get sick every once in a while. Zhao Feng had not seen him for several days, and he did not expect to see him again here.
Captain Yang raised his eyes with a calm expression.
Ask: "What do you want to buy?"
The next sentence is the answer to Zhao Feng's question.
“You can’t just be an idler when you have to find something to do.”
The last time he was ill, he had to pay a lot of money for medicine.
You can't rely on Shen Jun to take care of you, nor can you cause trouble to your former subordinate Pao Ze. Captain Yang feels like he's almost sick from boredom. He also heard that Shen Tang had opened a Fugu department store, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to help, which made him feel more at ease.
Captain Yang didn’t feel ashamed either.
When a middle-aged man has reached this stage, he still has no airs to let go. The work is still leisurely, which suits him.
When the weather gets a little warmer, then help Shen Tang train troops - others cannot fight, but the experience of training troops is still in the mind, and it is not a complete waste - now do some work here , so that you don’t have to think about this thing when you are free.
Zhao Feng felt uncomfortable looking at Captain Yang who looked calm and seemed to be returning to his original nature.
Although Yang Duwei's martial courage has been abolished, his martial spirit has increased a lot. If the foundation is not destroyed, his strength should have made great progress... Oh, what a pity. Zhao Feng restrained the emotions in his eyes and said with a normal expression: "I'm here to exchange for wine. I'm not late, am I?"
It is said that each type is in limited supply. If you are late, the one under you will be The brothers left.
Captain Yang took a look at the book inventory.
He said: "There are still two altars of Dukang."
He paused: "It is said to have been eighteen years."
That's good stuff.
It is old enough and tastes mellow.
Zhao Feng will naturally not miss it.
Just take out enough "wine sticks".
Captain Yang teased: "Where did you plunder it from?"
Zhao Fenghu said with a face, "What the hell! They were all brought here with the filial piety of the brothers below. How can it be said that it was plundered?" ?”
Besides, half of it was earned through hard work on the land. Captain Yang’s words were clearly a false accusation!
Captain Yang smiled without saying a word, brought it to him, and asked casually: "There will be an event in about ten days, would you like to go and see it?"
∑(っ°Д°;)っ
I was scared to death. The wireless network at home suddenly went out for a while, and I thought I couldn't catch up.
A false alarm.
