The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 45

3 people from 5 households in the downstream village who had been waiting in Shanghe Mansion for 16 months finally decided to slowly enter Beijing.

Father Hu said: "Let's walk along the official road. If there is a bad sign in the capital, we should see rich families running south. They have horses and cars, and they can run the fastest!" Much, come to the experience is not.

Then go slowly. Before Cuihua came, old man Yuan was still the pillar of the family. After Cuihua came, he gradually handed over the right to speak.

Now, with the members of the Yuan family, he can be the boss again. I really miss them all!It feels so good to have someone up front.

Most of the old women are iron roosters, and they are the masters of picking and searching when spending money. The Ma family is even more exaggerated than the Zhang family. The prices in the Northland are much cheaper than their Shu land, and she can't be generous.

He also encouraged old man Yuan: "Look at the big lady, she can bring everyone a little bit of money along the way, so you can't just go out and not go in?"

This is forcing the man in the family to find income, and these two boys are doing nothing under his nose every day.There is a kind of people who are lazy themselves and don't want others to be lazy too.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang kept looking at Papa Hu and Hu Sanniu, this is also a strong force, isn't it!
The big guys get together first to see what they will do: Father Hu can take hunting with his son, old man Yuan’s family is a carpenter and a blacksmith, and in the other three families, there is a man who is a bamboo craftsman and usually likes to make up short stories for his grandchildren. Things, one family is an honest farmer, and the other family belongs to the old family, so the couple only has a sweet mouth and can coax others.

Well, if you want to lower the cost and earn some travel expenses, you can only perform as a performer.

The downstream village busking troupe was formally established: the scope of business was repairing furniture, sharpening knives, repairing farm tools, and selling children's toys to neighbors.You have a sweet mouth, don't you? Tell me to go and lie to your parents at home, and you can't be cowardly outside!To be honest, just listen to the command, it can always be moved up and down.

The children performed next to them, how to play with bamboo dragonflies, kick bamboo balls, set bamboo tube circles, and mini kitchen utensils that little girls like to play house.

Father Hu took Hu Sanniu into and out of the nearby mountains and forests, looking for hard vegetables for the big guys, and selling more to the villagers.

The first thing that caught fire was the family's toy group. The smaller the child, the less obedient it is. No one can resist the temptation of such a fun thing.

Made of bamboo, it is not expensive, a few pennies each, alas, this is a group of fleeing famine, dragging so many people, forget it, poor, let's buy some for the children.

The sweet-talking duo, idler Yuan Laosan, also invited many people to come to repair the broken tables and chairs, and sharpen the knives. This group of people also said that if they have no money, they can exchange rice, eggs, and vegetables.Who doesn't order these?

A few old women were soft-handed when they kept the eggs and vegetables. Not only could they earn some copper coins, but they also paid for their meals.

Several companies are still secretly competing in private, to see which group makes more money, and the group that makes more money is proud of it.

Such a group of people with gold gadas and silver bumps sewn into the corners of their clothes walked along the official road from village to village in the eyes of the villagers in the Northland, how pitiful they were.

The poor art troupe, when they walked out of Shanghe Mansion, each household had already been given ten taels of silver, and everyone was even more reluctant to leave quickly.I simply don't want to let go of every village on the road to the capital.

Mrs. Ma also has a lot of experience: "Everyone patch more clothes, the more worn out we are, the more miserable we are, the more people will feel sorry for us, and the more people, the more money we will make!"

Mrs. Zhang: "Your money is best earned. Look at these gadgets, maybe they can be sold in the city? At that time, let's find a county to try! Xiaochuan, Xiaoshan, you guys want to Practice your slogan a bit, and have a thicker skin.”

Three boys: We are so thick-skinned, the boys are playing with the toys of the girl dolls!My lord is so unreasonable!

The other boy is from an honest family. He is only five years old this year. He follows Xiaoshan. His elder brother is longer and his elder brother is shorter.

In the northern border, since last winter, Tatars have been fighting guerrillas, robbing border villages, coming and going like the wind.When the local garrison received the information and rushed there, they would have already run away.

At the beginning, it was just a small amount of tartar to grab food and poultry.After probing, it was found that the Great Xia army was not angry. After all, it has been peaceful for ten years, so it is easy to say nothing of war, isn't it?
What finally made the Daxia garrison go to war was that in Daxia, a cavalry of thousands of Tatars raided a county on the border of Daxia, not only robbing money and food, but also killing hundreds of people and abducting hundreds of people. woman.

The ancestors of the Xu family were those who fought with the Yuan Emperor. They were all military commanders for several generations. The men in the family took countless concubines and spread their branches.The males, regardless of their descendants, were all thrown into the military camp since they were young. They were from a real family of military exploits.

The chief soldier of the northern border is the most proud second son of Xu Shangshu. Xu Maochun, the 42-year-old general soldier Xu, has been stationed in the northern border for decades. Although the last ten years have been peaceful times, he has never let go of his vigilance , This is the foundation of the Xu family's foothold in the court, he does not allow anyone to smash his job.

After the Tatars entered the county seat, he sent a report to the imperial court while tightening the border defenses and sending teams of scouts to the grassland.

After the first encounter, the two sides fought unannounced.The villagers on the border were also transferred one after another, and the Daxia army, which had not fought in more than ten years, started a fight with the Tatars.

Tatar's scimitars and fierce horses were invincible in the encounter. Daxia's infantry lost their fighting power after a few rounds. After the Xu family's horse-slashing formation entered the field, the situation eased a bit.

The Xu family's horse-cutting formation is a three-dimensional combat method in which the infantry use Mazha knives and sharp axes, long iron spears and shields, and the archers cooperate with each other.Mazha knives and sharp axes are mainly used to cut horseshoes, and long iron spears and archers are used to deal with Tatars.

This is a set of methods that have been garrisoned on the border for many years and summed up in the battle with the Tatars.In addition, there are also digging traps, throwing iron nails, etc., and the biggest advantage is that the Xia Dynasty has more soldiers and horses.Xu Zongbing has [-] soldiers under his command, and he has enough patience to deal with these Tatars.

The Tatars will not stop the war until the grasslands can graze in summer. This is a continuous war for more than half a year!

The little emperor was busy sending food and weapons to the front line, and the king of Shu was also busy. His father-in-law Gao Zongbing was now sent by him to rebel against the common people, and he also had to take care of the remnants of the two kings. The families of King Ning and King Lu were taken into custody. After coming to Shu, they were all locked up.

The first wave of merchants snapping up cement sales rights in Sichuan has ended, and his private treasury has already received 100 million taels of silver. How long has it been?And the second cement workshop is about to be repaired, Ludi is richer, and when the cement workshop in Ludi is repaired, his private treasury will receive a large sum of money!
