Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 302 Subduing Bao Xu
Bao Xu asked: "Who is your brother? He is so powerful. If I rob him, I can't be a bandit?"

"My elder brother is a senior officer in Chaijiazhuang, Cangzhou, and the commander of the Cangzhou regiment. Let alone how many soldiers and horses come, you can't beat any number of people." Li Kui said.

Bao Xu said: "Come on, let's draw the road, I will continue."

"I think we hit it off quite well. I have few helpers in my battalion. It would be best if you are willing to come. You and Jiao Ting will be my lieutenants in the future. Let's work together to lead the light infantry well." Li Kui said.

Bao Xu secretly groaned, and said in his heart that he was really unlucky. No one in the world knew the name of Chai Lin, Guo Shanlong was beaten by him and fled in embarrassment, and even changed his name to Dwarf Tiger, and Zhang Qing, the vegetable gardener, was taken to the street. Ask to cut.

Bao Xu said: "I'm a true bandit, can the owner of Chai Zhuang accept me?"

Li Kui said in a low voice: "I haven't heard it said in the book. Guan Erye was also a fugitive back then. Teacher Lin Chong Lin is not more serious than you? He is the one who offended Gao Qiu, and now he is the teacher in Zhuangzhong."

Bao Xu looked at Li Kui and Jiao Ting more and more pleasingly, and said, "Okay, I agree. The hundred mules and goods on the mountain are still there, so return them to Chai Zhuangzhu."

After talking, Bao Xu led the people up the mountain, while Chai Lin, Zhu Wu and a group of people waited at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Bao said worriedly, "He probably won't come back after leaving."

Li Kui said: "Don't worry, he will definitely come back. Because the bandit's life is too difficult, such a small number of people can scare people, what else can they do?"

Zhu Wu also said: "That's true. It's impossible for a hundred and 80 people to beat Zhuangzi. They survive in the cracks and eat with their heads on their waistbands."

After a while, Bao Xu arranged for his minions to bring down the mirrors of the one hundred mules that had been robbed a few days ago.

Li Kui asked: "Why is this product still in good condition, you didn't make a move?"

Bao Xu said with a sad face: "After the goods went up the mountain, I found that they were mirrors. This kind of mirror that I had never seen before was very clear. At first glance, it was a rare good thing. But this thing can't be eaten or drunk. It can be sold in nearby towns. If you don’t want to go up the price, you just keep it.”

Bao Xu came to Chai Lin and said: "Brother, Bao Xu has offended you so much, please punish him."

Li Kui handed over a Vitex branch and said, "There is a branch here, give him a few blows to calm down."

Chai Lin supported him with both hands, and said: "Brother Bao Xu, please get up quickly. No one is a sage, and no one has made mistakes. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a good brother. Please get up quickly."

There is no need to keep the cottage on the Dry Tree Mountain. There are only a dozen or so thatched cottages. There is no terrain and no depth here. As soon as the grass falls, it will be like a firewood forest.The staff is pitifully small, only about 80 people, but they are quite strong.

Zhu Wu said: "Brother, let me take them back. Bao Xu and others are inconvenient because of their status. If they enter Gaotang City, they may cause trouble."

"It makes sense. Mr. Li Kui, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu took people back to Chaijiazhuang first, and I will send the goods to Gaotang and then go back." Chai Lin said.

"Okay, don't worry brother."

Zhu Wu was quite steady in his work. From Bao Xu to Xiao Luo, he uniformly changed the coarse clothes and clothes of the caravan, and collected all kinds of weapons. He only kept things allowed by the government, such as simple knives and hunting forks .Zhu Wu took the official issued by the Cangzhou government with him and led the team back to Chaijiazhuang.Although Bao Xu and his group are new bandits who have just entered the industry, they are not disciplined after all, and they are settled in Li Kui's Qingbu Camp for training.

It's just that Chai Lin and his group led [-] mules to Gaotang City, and they were able to enter the city after paying a city gate tax of ten taels of silver.

At Uncle Chaicheng's house, Chai Ze was sulking there, throwing away the goods of a hundred mules so well that no one felt uncomfortable.

Chai Ze was walking back and forth in the mansion, shaking Chai Cheng dizzily.

Chai Cheng said: "You can't be safe, the cargo of a hundred mules, as for rushing like this."

"It's not about the goods. I'm not worried about this loss. What I'm worried about is the face of our Chai family." Chaize said.

"Far face, our family is a businessman, what face." Chai Cheng said.

The father and son were getting angry here, and the servants came to report: "The owner of Chai Zhuang in Cangzhou has arrived."

Chai Cheng said: "Go and meet your brother."

"Yes."

The two stopped arguing, and Chai Ze took a few servants out to meet his brother at the back door. Why did he go through the back door, because the back door leads directly to the warehouse.

"Brother, why are you here?" Chai Ze asked.

Chai Lin said: "I heard that the caravan on your village was robbed by bandits. I took people to get the goods back."

Chaize looked around, and saw the big caravan outside the door that could not be seen at a glance, and his family's hundred mules had already returned. Chaize was stunned. Ze's admiration for Chai Lin became more and more profound.

"Come in quickly, you've worked hard all the way." Chaize hurriedly arranged for his servants to pull the caravan into the backyard.

Chai City has a nickname called Chai Bancheng. The open space in the backyard is more than ten acres, and more than 200 mules are pulled in without it being full.

Chai Ze said: "Brother, why did you come back? I heard from the man who came back that this bandit is very vicious, vicious, and frighteningly ruthless."

"Difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, he will be strong. I was moved by the bandit leader, and he was very moved, so he returned the caravan. Unload the goods and sell them as soon as possible." Chailin did not Tell me the details, after all, his cousin is not from the world, so there is no need to say too much.

After a while, Chai Cheng also came over, and he was very grateful for the fact that Chai Lin wanted to return to the caravan, and said, "This time, it is thanks to my nephew, otherwise there will be a big loss."

"Uncle, you're welcome. How is your grain processing workshop? It's running smoothly." Chailin asked.

Chai Cheng said: "The grain workshop is progressing very smoothly. Now half of the millet and flour in the entire Gaotang City are processed by my workshop. The workers work in two shifts, changing shifts at noon, and machines and people are rested late at night. About 1000 catties of millet and flour are produced, and [-] catties of leftovers alone. More than [-] pigs, hundreds of horses, donkeys, and cattle were raised from farms outside the city."

After Chai Lin calculated, the leftovers were not enough, but worse.A large animal can get about two catties of mixed leftovers a day, and the rice bran and wheat bran are not complete in nutrition.

Chai Lin asked, "Uncle, is there a lot of rice grown locally in Gaotang?"

Chaicheng said: "Although Gaotang is not as good as Dongping Prefecture and Jeju Prefecture, it is still in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the water source is still very rich. The rice fields can account for one-fifth of it."

"Okay then, I'll give uncle another rice threshing machine, so I can get more rice chaff to feed the animals," Chailin said.

Chai Cheng said: "Then why don't you always give it away, I can't buy it for more money."

Chai Lin shook his head: "This machine has never been sold, so I can't say it is for sale. In winter, my business will go to the mountainous area of ​​Fei County to promote the planting of new crops. At that time, uncle will also send a caravan to help. There is no money to be made at the beginning, as long as you survive for a year or two, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Chai Cheng said: "Okay, nephew, don't worry, I will definitely send a caravan to support me."

The northern mountainous area of ​​Yizhou belongs to the Mengshan mountainous area. The larger places are better. The small villages don’t even have a road. Lidi is not bad, too poor and backward.But precisely because of poverty, it was just right for Chai Lin to choose this place to start promoting new crops.

　Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.
