Chapter 43 Bad Premonition

"Haha...Brother Du, you misunderstood. The son-in-law did nothing wrong. How did he offend me?"

Cao Zhijian turned around with a smile, looked at Du Yinxi enviously, and exclaimed: "Brother Du, you really have a good son. The people of Changde Mansion are saved!"

Faced with the sudden praise, Du Yinxi was a little flattered and even more confused. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Du Zhengming who came in from outside.

"Congratulations to uncle, the food in Changde Mansion is settled."

At this time, no matter how slow the person reacted, he understood what the two meant and why Cao Zhijian, who was always worried, became so enthusiastic.

Not to mention blocking the road.

"Zhengming, what do you mean is…?"

Although I had guesses in my heart, the calm and steady blocking of Weidao did not point out, but said something meaningful, which was very similar to Cao Zhijian's reaction, and there was a faint sense of strong expectation in my excitement.

"Uncle, Wei Dao said that you will leave all these fish to Uncle. It costs two cents per catty. In two days, each family can only buy up to four kilograms."

"My nephew, are you true?"

However, before Du Yinxi could react, Cao Zhijian couldn't wait to ask, and asked again: "Every fish really costs only two cents."

"Yes, Lord Cao!"

At this time, Du Zhengming noticed Cao Zhijian's existence, and also restrained himself a little, nodded, and added seriously: "However, Wei Dao also said that this price is limited to ordinary people in Changde Prefecture. Anyone with a wealthy family and a little asset is another price."

Du Yinxi and Cao Zhijian looked at each other. Although they were wearing airs and trying hard to maintain a calm attitude, they were still secretly happy and agreed with Du Weidao's condition.

After all, what they are worried about is the life problems of ordinary people.

For families of three or four, although two kilograms of fish cannot be eaten every day, they are enough to fill their stomachs and will not starve to death.

As long as you last a month and a half, no, or even a month, even if there is no grain from other places entering, the price of grain will drop sharply.

Not only the two of them, but even the foolish generals like Du Zhengming knew that with the arrival of summer grain, the food stored by Zhang Xianbi and the local gentry would be Chen Mi.

At that time, you may not necessarily sell it if you want to!

Naturally, the closer the summer harvest is to the day, the food prices will inevitably fall sharply and will only get lower and lower, unless those people really want to throw the hoarded food into their hands.

"Brother Du, this matter must be planned carefully, otherwise, the son's kindness will only make the profiteers cheap for no reason, and the people's future lives will still be difficult."

Hearing this, Du Yinxi's heart moved and probably guessed what Cao Zhijian meant, but he still asked knowingly: "Mr. Cao, what do you mean?"

"Do notify the military, keep these fish for the time being. When the official counts out the ordinary people in the city, he or she will allocate these fish by household."

Cao Zhijian talked idly, and the seemingly calm eyes were filled with spots of excitement. He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "Of course, it is impossible for pies to fall from the sky, and you have to spend money to buy them."

Hearing this sentence, Du Zhengming was anxious and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, as everyone tacitly knew the idea of ​​blocking Weidao and deeply agreed with it, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Especially Cao Zhijian and Du Weidao, at the moment when they looked at each other, they tacitly had the same idea of ​​how to use those fish to make the people of Changde Prefecture survive this period.

However, compared to the previous worry and lack of good intentions, now it is extremely relaxed and the mood is no longer so heavy.

After all, the people of Changde Prefecture have more or less some food in stock, and these fat big fish have no problem of survival.

Naturally, as the food rations ease, there will naturally be no hidden worries about civil unrest, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, and a stone pressing on their hearts can finally fall.

Military Supervisors--

Zhang Xianbi was teasing a charming woman with heavy makeup, grabbing her hands, and making her laugh from time to time, causing the charming woman to laugh endlessly, like a silver bell, constantly twisting in his arms.

The shy smile and the pose of her head from time to time made Zhang Xianbi's lower abdomen feel hot. If Zhang Sihai had not run in at this time, the intimate behavior of the two would have been even more bold, as if no one was around.

Fortunately, the maids standing under the living room were all maids, otherwise, I don’t know what kind of scene it would be.

"General, I've found out clearly."

Obviously, this is not the first time Zhang Sihai has seen such a scene. Seeing the two flirting and their increasingly bold actions, he acted quite calmly.

"Oh, what did you find out about all the people?"

Zhang Xianbi, who was chuckling, paused, still hugging the beautiful woman, just signaling the latter to restrain himself a little, and then asked: "How many rural heroes have that playboy recruited?"

"Report to the general, the Duwei Road recruited about five hundred people."

"Oh, that kid has a great ambition. When he came up, he envied and learned about the Five Hundred Townships. It was almost half a city defense camp, which was a great deal."

Zhang Xianbi's eyes were slightly cold, not as light as the surface.

However, when Zhang Xianbi heard this sentence, his expression changed slightly and his face was sunk. Zhang Sihai not only did not feel nervous at all, but also showed a flattering smile.

"General, don't worry, the people recruited by the Duwei Road are not considered as rural bravery? They are just a group of hungry refugees, and the local people account for less than 50%.

Moreover, blocking the guard road is not like recruiting rural brave men and forming a group training?

In the eyes of the general, it is just a mess, and blocking the barrier is more like recruiting a large number of fishermen, which cannot be achieved in any climate?

In other words, there are some clever things to do, fishing is OK.”

At the end, Zhang Sihai's ridiculous expression showed a hint of envy and jealousy.

However, Zhang Xianbi was not happy at all when he heard these news. He always had a bad premonition in his heart, and he even keenly captured some key information in Zhang Sihai's dialect.

"Little clever - fishing -"

He murmured for a moment, then Zhang Xianbi frowned slightly, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Sihai, what's going on? Why fishing?"

"General, this is how it is. Blocking the guard road has created a strange big net. As a test to test the village heroes, while recruiting people, they have hit a lot of fat and lively fish, causing many inns and restaurants to place orders."

"Why did that playboy do this?" Zhang Xianbi couldn't help asking himself, his expression becoming more and more serious.

Gradually, the envy on Zhang Sihai's face became more and more intense. Seeing Zhang Xianbi listening seriously, he restrained a little and pondered: "General, the general thinks that the reason why the Duwei Road did this is to raise money again, right?

After all, recruiting so many rural braves requires a lot of money.

Even if the Military Supervisor's Office pays such a large sum of money, it will be a big deal. It will take a lot of Tian Gan to maintain such a group training."

"I hope so~"

Zhang Xianbi sighed slowly, and no longer asked anything, nor did he feel like playing with the charming woman.
