"Deng Gong, you don't want to eat chaff anymore, just eat the food here. In a word, as long as Chen is around, you won't let everyone eat chaff like this! I will let you Everyone eat white flour steamed buns!" Chen Chu said loudly.He said it from the heart.

The scene fell silent immediately, and then Mr. Deng knelt down on the ground with a thud, and then the other villagers also knelt down.

"My lord has treated us so well, I dare not risk my life to repay it!" Deng Gong knelt on the ground and said tearfully.

"Master!", all the villagers also shouted together.The lord shouted very resolutely, which showed that these villagers had completely pledged their allegiance to Chen Chu at this time. [

Chen Chu nodded in satisfaction, and then an inexplicable sense of pride rose in his chest.

Afterwards, Chen Chu wandered around the village again, chatting with the villagers.Chen Chu used to be a salesperson in a pharmaceutical factory, so he had already mastered his eloquence, and was especially good at building relationships.Before he knew it, Chen Chu and the villagers had become close. Those villagers always followed behind Chen Chu's buttocks, yelling, lord uncle, lord uncle.

Chen Chu stayed in the village until almost noon before leaving.

On the way back to Leping County, Chen Chu couldn't help thinking: Although there is no electricity, no computer, and no modern entertainment facilities in this era, the people in this era are so simple and simple, which made him feel like going home. Just for this feeling of family, I must make them live comfortably and healthily, and I will arrive in the troubled times of the Yellow Turban in about a year, and I must try to accumulate enough strength. For this reason, the first step is to recruit refugees to edit To train a private army, at the same time, you have to try to obtain a certain social status.

Chen Chu suddenly thought of Wei Du, the owner of the pawnshop, who had a good relationship with him.

As soon as he entered the city, Chen Chu hurried to the back hall of the pawn shop without taking time to eat lunch.Since this period of time, Chen Chu and Wei Du often got together to chat, so the servants of the pawn shop did not stop Chen Chu, and Chen Chu basically drove straight in.

When Chen Chu entered the back hall, Wei Du happened to be there. Seeing Chen Chu who was in a hurry, Wei Du asked slightly surprised: "Why is Brother Chen so urgent?"

Realizing that he was rude, Chen Chu smiled apologetically, then cupped his fists at Wei Du and said, "Brother Wei, I really have something urgent to ask for help."After getting along for a few days, Chen Chu understood Wei Du's personality very well, so he cut to the chase when he came.

"Oh? If you have anything to say, just tell me!" Wei Du said boldly.

So, Chen Chu told Wei Du what he wanted one by one.

Chen Chu asked Wei Du to pretend to be two things. First, he asked Wei Du to send people to various places to recruit refugees. There was a condition that these refugees must be young and middle-aged; second, he asked Wei Du to help him buy food. Chu will take out a thousand pieces of gold.

It would be extremely difficult for Chen Chu to do these two things, but Wei Du just smiled slightly after hearing this: "These two things are easy to handle, and I can send someone to do it immediately. However, due to the catastrophe last year, the price of grain Almost doubled in length."

Hearing this, Chen Chu couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and asked anxiously, "Then how much grain can this thousand gold buy?"

Wei Du immediately calculated, and whispered in his mouth at the same time: "The current grain is 1000 yuan a catty, and one thousand gold is equal to 35 million yuan, so you can buy about [-] catties of grain."

Hearing this, Chen Chu immediately calculated: An adult strong man consumes an average of two catties of grain a day, and there are still four months until the summer wheat matures, which is 120 days, so an average adult strong man will consume 240 catties during this period For grain, I plan to recruit 120 refugees, so I will need about [-] million catties of grain before the summer grain harvest.

Chen Chu was dumbfounded immediately, unexpectedly, the amount of food that a thousand pieces of gold could buy was less than one-third of the required amount.Although Chen Chu has [-] gold in his hands, there are many places where money is needed, such as buying a county magistrate from the imperial court, which requires a lot of money, but the food issue is related to the number of refugees that can be recruited number, and the number of refugees that can be recruited is directly related to = the power in their own hands during the Yellow Turban chaos.

Chen Chu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind to spend two thousand gold to buy grain.In this way, about 70 catties of grain can be bought back, which can barely meet the life of 5000 people for four months.

"Did you really decide to do this?" Weidu asked.

Chen Chu nodded firmly. [

"Okay then. These two things are easy to do, and they can be done in a month at most." Wei Du said with a relaxed face.

Immediately, Wei Du called two guards, and then ordered these two things.

"My dear brother, it seems that you are a person with great ambition!" Wei Du said, staring at Chen Chu with piercing eyes.

Chen Chu smiled honestly and didn't answer.

"By the way, brother, I have one more thing to do." Chen Chu thought of another thing, so he said.

Wei Du nodded with a smile, "If you have anything to say, my brother, I will help you as long as I can."

Chen Chu said with some embarrassment: "Brother, I heard that today's emperor is openly selling officials, is there such a thing?"

Wei Du nodded, "It's true, it's been many years since I sold an official." Then he asked with some understanding: "Your brother asks this, is it possible that you also want to donate an official? "

Chen Chu nodded a little uneasy. In his previous life, what he hated most was buying and selling officials, but he never thought that he would be caught in it. ! ~!
