Chapter 445 The Mist World [Hai Qu Lu Mu]
On the evening of the second day, Lu Zhuocheng came to the door again. When they met, he said to Zhao Zhen: "Zhao Erlang, it has been agreed with Sun Yuanwai of Bole Jixiang. This is a sales contract. The horse's body is also marked, just waiting for the agreement. Send it to Bailiu Village on the 2nd, and the delivery will be clear by then.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen praised: "Brothers are reliable in their work."
Lu Zhuocheng waved his hand and said to Zhao Zhen: "It is also a way to support the family, so how can I not care about it."
With that, he said goodbye: "Zhao Erlang, I made an appointment with someone to form a convoy to go to Laoshan to buy tea. When I have an agreement, come and get the money. It's the same as last time. Just give me some errand fees." .”
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, in this weather, you will suffer a lot on the road."
Lu Zhuocheng chuckled and said: "After completing this order, I will call it a day. In total, my income this year is higher than that of most of my classmates. It is natural that I should suffer some hardships."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was still talking, Lu Zhuocheng said: "Of course, it all depends on my brother's support, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live like this. Since my brother needs coarse tea, I should naturally go there, not to mention I still earn a lot of money."
With that said, Lu Zhuocheng said goodbye and left. Zhao Zhen was not being pretentious. Seeing this, he didn't mention it any more.
In the next few days, Zhao Zhen stayed at home and played with Ji Qingwan and the four of them day and night.
On this day, Gao Hu came to the door.
After seeing the ceremony, Ji Qingwan asked someone to serve hot tea and asked: "Brother, do you have anything to do with your visit today?"
Gao Hu listened and said with a smile: "What, you can't come to the door if you have nothing to do?"
Ji Xuan said from the side: "Hey, isn't that what you said?"
Gao Hu said helplessly: "Didn't I eat the fruits and vegetables you gave me and come to say thank you?"
Zhao Zhen said: "It's just some ordinary fruits and vegetables, it's not worth a trip in person."
Gao Hu said: "Brother, I have been to several foggy worlds, but I am not as lucky as my brother. I actually entered the summer and autumn world in winter. Did you make a lot of money from this trip?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "They are all rare items nowadays, so I have made some money."
Gao Hu said: "I guess so. On this trip, in addition to congratulating my brothers for their great harvest, I also invite them to explore a misty world together."
After hearing this, Ji Xuan said: "You said you didn't come here because of something."
Gao Hu smiled bitterly and said: "Although there are risks in this matter, once it succeeds, there will be a lot of rewards."
Zhao Zhen said: "What my brother said is that everyone knows that the foggy world is dangerous. On the contrary, there are many rewards. I wonder what the situation is like in the foggy world here?"
Gao Hu said: "The misty world here is called [Haiqu Lu Mu]. We have searched the classics and roughly calculated that the world here is at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, a time of new wilderness."
"There is a record in the classics: 'In the first year of Tianfeng, there was a mother Lu in Langya Haiqu. Her son was a county official. He committed a minor crime and was killed by the slaughter. Mother Lu complained about the slaughter and gathered the guests closely to take revenge.' It is recorded here It’s not very complete. We estimate that there should be more than a thousand people who dare to fight.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not comment and asked: "Brother, whose key is this foggy world? But you want to invite me to go with you?"
Gao Hu said: "This misty world belongs to the clan brother Gao Yuan. He just performed the crowning ceremony, and the clan gave him the key to this misty world as a crowning gift." "Brother, you also know, I will wait for you. Although these royal children, although There is no need to worry about food and drink, but if you want to explore such a foggy world on your own, you will be no better than others. Therefore, in order to explore the foggy world as soon as possible, you must hire soldiers and warriors to help.”
"I occupy Lvliu Township, and there is an entrance to the mist world, and this Gao Yuan found me here. If it is an ordinary mist world, it is no problem. But in this [Haiqu Lu Mu] mist world, I dare not guarantee it. .”
"Brother, there are many soldiers in your fantasy world, and there are warriors who charge into the battle. Please take action alone, which is worth the combined efforts of three or five families. In this way, Gao Yuan can also get more benefits, and you will not lose, brother, how about it?" br>
When Zhao Zhen was about to speak, Ji Xuan said, "You haven't told me how much gold and silver Gao Yuan has given me, so how can my husband agree to it?"
Gao Hu smiled and said: "Twenty percent of the harvest."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, according to what you said, there are not more than a thousand revolting peasants in this misty world of [Haiqu Lumu]. With my brother's command, I'm afraid it won't be difficult to quell it."
After hearing this, Gao Hu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, this [the first year of Tianfeng] is the year name used by Wang Mang. At that time, there was a book recording: 'Thieves and thieves often get back together.' When asked why, they all say that they are worried about the law, forbidden to worry about, and harsh. , you are not allowed to raise your hand, and the income you earn from hard work is not enough to pay tribute. The traitor is worried about the people and becomes a thief. "We are also afraid that since Lu's mother has rebelled, there will be many Guizhou chiefs besides the villagers." Zhuanghu Xiangzhu”
Zhao Zhen said: "Didn't you invite anyone in to investigate?"
Gao Hu shook his head and said: "I invited five people in at a high price, but unfortunately no one has returned yet."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "How many sergeants does my brother want me to send? How is the terrain? Do we want to attack the city?"
Gao Hu said: "Brother, you only need to send a thousand sergeants and three generals. I will also send a thousand soldiers. With the sharp-edged armor equipped by our sergeants, five or seven thousand sergeants will not be afraid."
Zhao Zhen thought about it and said in his heart: This is a good deal. He immediately said: "Of course I can provide a thousand sergeants. However, how to divide this harvest and how far I want to achieve it must be done well."
"According to the literal interpretation, this misty world should be a war-torn place. Lu Mu and the imperial court are at war. There are at least two forces fighting. Is it just Lu Mu?"
Gao Hu said: "We are all members of our own family, so of course we will not trick you. The two of us plan to solve the problem of the imperial court together. After all, most of the wealth is in the states and counties. At this time, Lu's mother is recruiting refugees, and I am afraid that the money in her hands will be lost." Not much.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said cautiously: "This siege has always suffered heavy casualties, so we must be cautious."
Gao Hu said: "Of course I know this, but if we don't attack the county town, I'm afraid there won't be much income."
Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, we need to make siege equipment. I have a craftsman there who made some siege equipment. I picked some and brought them over. However, these equipment also need to be used by someone. It is not easy for the soldiers to fight and push them. , manipulating equipment.”
After hearing this, Gao Hu said: "Of course we need a team of people to push it forward. I will ask the villagers in Bailiu Township to send people."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen found it hard to object. He had no choice but to nod and respond first.
At noon, Zhao Zhen held a banquet in honor of Gao Hu, and also set a date for the gathering.
Gao Hu also agreed to Zhao Zhen's request to personally inspect the key to the misty world.
Gao Hu promised to ask Gao Yuan to come tomorrow and ask him to deliver it in person and identify the door by the way. From now on, I will move around more.
After sending Gao Hu away, Zhao Zhen turned around and returned home.
