Chapter 640 It's time for us to repay you
Looking at the situation in front of him, the battle with Dashi will not stop within a year or two.And in a few months, the Northwest will enter winter again, which is definitely not a good thing for the soldiers who are fighting in the ice and snow.

Su Ran was also busy collecting rabbit fur these days to make clothes for the soldiers to keep out the cold.However, the green grass grows only about half of the time in the border area every year.The objective environment restricts the development speed of the rabbit population, and now they only have 30 rabbits on hand, no more.Every time a batch of small rabbits is born, an equal number of large rabbits must be killed.Although she kept all the fur, how could such fur be enough for the [-] soldiers in the northwest?
But Liangjiang Province is different.

There is the south, and there are green leaves all year round. This is the most natural and good condition for raising rabbits.In addition, due to the fame of Li Er and Su Ran, the rabbit meat in Wushan Village has become famous all over the world. Now every household in the village and even the whole Wushan Town raises rabbits.There are tens of thousands of rabbits in Sister Guangqiu's house!The total number of rabbits in the village is 50 million.Including the whole town, there are at least 600 million.

Tens of millions of catties of rabbit meat are exported every year in the town, so rabbit fur cloth is no longer a scarce product, and people with a little extra money can buy a few feet a year and go back to make clothes.As for the rabbit skin, it is even cheaper.

It's just that this cheapness is for the people in the south.Transportation is inconvenient these days, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport things.No matter how cheap things are shipped all the way to the northwest, the price is already at least ten times that of the place of origin.This is also the reason why Dashiren couldn't hold back after doing business with the merchants of the Sun and Moon Dynasty for several years - Dashi only sells such things as cattle, sheep and horses, but the Sun and Moon Dynasty sells tea, silk, and porcelain Wait for the good stuff to count.When these things are transported to the border, the price has increased tenfold.A sheep can't even exchange one or two tea leaves. In the end, Dashi has a large amount of money flowing into the Sun Moon Dynasty every year.

The commerce did not make life easier for the people of Dashi. Instead, it made them see the prosperity of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, and also made them realize their own poverty.Therefore, their desire to annex the Sun and Moon Dynasty and take all the good things in this land for themselves is even stronger.Of course, these are off topic.

Now, knowing that Qiu and Liu have saved so much fur for them, Su Ran is so happy!
"You two are determined. I will give you the price of the rabbit skin according to the market price. There is also the manpower and material resources brought in. You can count the price and I will give it to you." She said hurriedly.

Sister Liu's face sank when she heard this. "Sister, are you slapping me in the face? If it weren't for you and brother-in-law, my eldest sister and I wouldn't know what kind of life we ​​are living now! Although our life has gotten better and better over the years, you have always been better than us, we I have never been able to find a chance to repay you. Now that I finally have a chance, you actually talk about money with us? Do you think we are short of this money?"

Su Ran's heart beat wildly for a while, and she quickly changed her words. "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't raise money with you in the future. But since you have the heart, I must thank you very much. You should be able to accept my gratitude, right?"

"This is fine." Sister Liu nodded.

Immediately, the two sisters smiled at each other and held hands again.

Here, the two sisters were gossiping, so they decided to make rabbit fur clothes for the soldiers.Of course, Li Er outside was not idle either. He carefully checked the food that Xu Ming sent, and after making sure that all the food was of the highest quality, he took Xu Ming to drink.

Northwesterners are rough and rough, and this wine is also very strong.Xu Ming relied on himself to be in the liquor store in Liangjiang Province, but who knew that Li Er's two bowls got him drunk.

When Sister Liu found out that he was drunk, she couldn't sit still and hurried back to take care of Xu Ming.

Su Ran was also able to get together with Li Er again, and the two talked about the rabbit fur clothes.

When Li Er heard it, his eyes brightened. "This thing is really good, and we need it."

As he spoke, he paused. "If I had known that they would still give us this, I wouldn't have treated Xu Ming that way."

"What did you do to Xu Ming?" Su Ran's heart skipped a beat.

The man answered solemnly with a straight face. "I just don't like his smug look, so I specially asked someone to pour him the strongest wine here. He is also stupid, just to fight me, he drank two bowls forcefully."

Su Ran suddenly let out a low voice. "Two bowls? Then he won't have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow morning?"

Li Er nodded. "Besides, he didn't eat much appetizers."

Oh my God!
Su Ran was unable to support his forehead. "Why are you so hurt?" She couldn't help scolding him, "He used to be so virtuous, and I never saw you do anything to him!"

Didn't he bother to mess with that kid before?
"Now it's different from before." Li Er lowered his voice a few degrees.

Oh, she almost forgot.Since coming to the northwest, this man has begun to show his true nature.Although he is still calm on the whole, from time to time he will suddenly show a little nasty little tail.

This should be his nature, right?Before, it was only because he was burdened with great grievances that he had to be calm.And now, with the grievance cleared and returning to the place where he grew up, he has returned to his original self.

Fortunately, none of his children inherited this virtue from him.Su Ran secretly rejoiced in her heart.

However, seeing the shining spots in the man's eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Anyway, it's a good thing he's not as lifeless as he used to be.

"Forget it." She waved her hand weakly, "Let's pretend that this never happened. It was because Xu Ming was inferior in skills, and he insisted on force-feeding him because he couldn't drink strong alcohol. Now that this happened, he asked for it!"

"That's right, he asked for it!" Li Er nodded quickly, agreeing with her statement.

So, this matter is so determined.

Xu Ming woke up early the next morning, and naturally found that he had been tricked by Li Er.It's just that Li Er pretended nothing happened, and Su Ran pretended to be concerned and cooked a pot of delicious hangover soup for him to drink. The seriousness of these two people made him feel full of resentment. Nowhere to vent.

He should complain to Sister Liu, who knew that Sister Liu's face fell down as soon as she opened her mouth.

"My brother-in-law is such a serious person, he would think of such a dirty way to trick you? You think everyone is as small-bellied as you! You dare to say a bad word about them? If you dare to say it, get out of here now." ——You go back alone!"

Then, he didn't dare to say another bad word about Su Ran and Li Er.

Anyway, in Sister Liu's eyes, Su Ran and Li Er are perfect, no one is allowed to slander them!Thinking of the fact that the son of the family also grew up listening to his mother tell the story of King Zhenxi and Princess Zhenxi. He had already worshiped King Zhenxi as a role model at a young age, and he didn't even worship his father!Xu Ming felt more and more grief and indignation.But now, he could only bear his grief and anger, picked up the hangover soup made by Su Ran, and ate it as if to vent his anger.

Because of the urgent battle at the border, this is not a place where outsiders can stay longer, so Sister Liu and Xu Ming only stayed for four or five days, and the two turned back to Liangjiang Province.

Suffering from Li Er, Xu Ming ran very fast this time.

Two months after they left, clothes for the soldiers to keep out the cold were delivered one after another.

Along with the clothes, there are also a lot of marinated rabbit meat, rabbit meat sauce and so on.These items, which can be sold for dozens of taels a car, are now given to them for free.

The attitude of the person who came to deliver things was also very firm.They leave after delivering the food, resolutely not charging any hard fees, let alone eating a bite of food here.In their words: "If we eat more, the soldiers will eat less. They want to defend their home and country, of course they have to eat well. We don't have to go to the battlefield, so it's okay to eat less!"

Li Er was very moved by their attitude, so he naturally wanted to write this matter in the memorial and report it to the emperor.After reading the memorial, the emperor admired Xu Ming and others for their righteous actions, and personally ordered Xu Ming and others to be rewarded generously.

Xu Ming and others benefited, and they repaid Li Er in turn.

Because of this, the winter at the border was not so difficult for the first time, and the soldiers were all in high spirits even when they were away.

On the other hand, with Dashi, as the weather gradually turned colder, they lacked food and clothing, and their days became more and more difficult, and they also began to fight among themselves.
