Chapter 71 Layout and Timely Rain
When Huo Bao came out of the teahouse, he saw a monk begging for alms.
Huo Bao slowed down and followed the monk and walked half a street.
Many people gave up money to eat and were very pious.
Huo Bao looked at the monk's feet, the monk's shoes were covered with dust and his body was also backpack. This was an alien monk.
Huo Bao couldn't help but think of Quyang's church and asked passers-by about nearby temples.
Jinling was an ancient capital of several dynasties, and there were many temples and temples in and outside the city.
Huo Bao searched the nearest Xingjiao Temple and took a walk around.
This is an ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years. It is huge in scale and has an unusual incense. As you walk slowly along the way, you will encounter more monks than pilgrims.
Huo Bao came out, hired a carriage, and went to Jiming Temple again.
The same incense is lonely.
There are many Buddhist believers in the market, and there are fewer pilgrims in this serious temple, so there are more cults.
The head of a county cannot be underestimated. What kind of force will the head of a county secretly be in this prefecture?
This thought makes people's scalp numb.
When Huo Bao returned to the grain shop, it was already dusk.
Xue Xiao is back early.
He received Xue Biao's handwritten letter in the afternoon.
Xue Biao had the idea of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't expect Huo Bao to offer such a high price.
He had only thought about selling it to the Huo family and his son, and he added some gross profit to the warehouses of grain to Huo Bao, but he didn't expect Huo Bao to take over at a 10% discount on the market price.
After entering and exiting, there was a lot of money left.
There is also an old grain in the official warehouse, so you can make another profit afterwards, which is naturally a good thing.
Huo Bao set the price randomly without knowing the depth, but Xue Biao, who is not good at being an uncle, really fools the child. There is still Huo Wu, who is protecting the baby, behind him.
In the letter from Xue Biao to his adopted son, the exchange price was set at 70%.
This is a step back and gave Huo Bao two points of profit.
Xue Xiao looked at the letter and understood his adoptive father's concerns. After calculating in his mind, even if he transferred it at 70% of the market price, he could still have more than twice the profit.
When the large amount of grain from the official warehouse comes down, the profits in the middle will be even more considerable.
Xue Xiao wanted to find Huo Bao to sell it, but this was only half a day.
Huo Bao was traveling outside for a day and was already hungry, but he did not go back to the grain shop directly. Instead, he found a bun shop and gave all the buns and cakes in the shop. He bought dozens of kilograms of braised pork at the braised pork shop and asked someone to send them directly to the grain shop.
Some of these left were eaten directly by him, and most of them were for everyone's teething sacrifice.
Not only did he have a share in the Scouts, but everyone also had a share in the Riverside Army soldiers led by Xue Xiao.
Most of these people were from the military camp in Quyang County. Everyone has different names, but can these father and son be considered two families?
Everyone, whether they are fellow villagers or relatives, are also intimate with each other.
There is no shortage of grain in the grain shop. I have been eating big pot rice these two days, and the bean rice is poured into snow vegetable soup, just one meal.
Eating is full means eating, but there is no meat.
Now that the buns, big cakes, braised pork are coming down, more than a hundred people are happy.
Fortunately, Huo Bao has always been generous with food and has some meat, but the Binjiang Binjiang soldiers are like the New Year, and they are full of tears in their eating. They are all grateful when they mention Huo Wu and his son.
Huo Bao did not show up, but Xue Xiao was like eating a fly.
What is this called buying people's hearts and bribing them to their own command?
In his eyes, these fifty riverside soldiers were selected by themselves and would go to Changzhou with him. They were his personal soldiers.
Xue Xiao was bothered by Huo Bao's actions, and was also upset that he was busy with food, so he forgot to win over these people.
How could Huo Bao pay attention to Xue Xiao’s annoyance?
He had just eaten a few buns, and Zhu Gang came back, and Huo Bao was also here.
The two of them were in a hurry to go on the road, not fighting all the way, and they were covered in dirt and described it as a mess. Huo Bao took the two to the inn next door to check in.
After the two of them washed up, Huo Bao took them to the restaurant.
Everyone was hungry and didn't bother to talk first. They asked for a few small stir-fry, and the wind swelled up the clouds and filled their stomachs first.
After putting down the chopsticks, Huo Bao said: "According to Uncle Bao's instructions, half of them will be divided. Let's go to Binjiang to standby today."
"Buy a yard nearby as a resident site, choose two steady people to be the resident of the person in charge, and obey your orders directly."
"The scout group selected two groups to collect news from Jinling. One group stared at the prefect's ruling yamen and saw the carriages and horses in and out of the prefect's yamen. When a large amount of property came out of the prefect's yamen, he found an opportunity to rob. The other group released it and inquire about the news from the Jinling church, and figure out which leaders and backbones are now."
"Mule carts are drawn from Quyang and Binjiang. Do not transport more than forty vehicles at a time, otherwise you will not be able to take care of the road before and after the road. This line has been officially settled, and you cannot always use civilian ships. We must have our own ships. Let's ask your fifth grandfather to see if there are any arrangements there."
"Except for Chuzhou and 500 stones in Quyang, the remaining 1,400 stones are transported to Binjiang as soon as possible. Five hundred stones are handed over to Uncle Qi, and the remaining 900 stones are stored."
"Build a granary on the Binjiang River and build a few more warehouses. If there is no accident, there will be food released here later and transport it to you as soon as possible."
"Quyang will first hand it over to Liang Zhuang. You have been responsible for arranging the station and transporting grain in the past few months. Let's talk about the others when I come back. If you encounter something you can't decide by yourself, look for your cousin first. If you can't make sure you are not sure, then look for your fifth grandfather."
Huo Bao responded one by one, and finally hesitated: "Uncle Bao, is this granary properly built on Binjiang?"
"Binjiang is more reasonable than Quyang, my cousin understands it in his heart."
Quyang is far from the prefecture of the capital, and Lingshui is too close to those two places. Those two places are not the same as everyone else.
Huo Bao didn't ask again, but he was embarrassed.
What can be used in the Scouts are those from the Black Python Mountain. They are all there ages, and there are many outstanding ones, but there are really limited people who stand alone.
There is really no right person to really choose someone to be responsible for the Jinling affairs.
Liang Zhuang was left with only five leaders of the Scouts, but Liang Zhuang was stupid and not smart. Huo Bao was not at ease with him, let alone letting him stand alone in Jinling.
Huo Bao glanced at Zhu Gang and said, "How about you stay and help Brother Bao, there is a great sage in Changzhou. I am walking with Xue Xiao, and it doesn't matter whether I take people on the way or not."
Zhu Gang quickly shook his head: "That's not possible! The master told me that Master Bao should not be short of people around him."
"That's right! Uncle Bao must have someone around! It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a day. Walking outside, it's the world again, so Uncle Bao should bring all the staff."
"If there is really no one, I'll ask for help from my cousin to see if there is anyone on my cousin's side!"
Several people were talking, "dongdong", and someone was holding the door.
All three of them extinguished, Zhu Gang got up and opened the door, and a waiter stood outside the door.
"Three young masters, someone is looking for you!" the waiter said with apologies.
Two people stood behind the waiter, and it was Xue Xiao and Shui Jin.
"Brother Shui!" Huo Bao was surprised and quickly got up.
"Why are you here?"
"Fifth Master is afraid that you are short of manpower, so he sent me over." Shui Jin said cheerfully.
The scouts entered the riverside hundreds of times, which scared Huo Wu.
After hearing the message, Huo Bao, who knew that he was left behind, was drawn out. Huo Wu knew that his son had a lot of actions. He was worried and could not come out by himself, so he sent Shui Jin out.
Looking at the mess of dishes on the table, Shui Jin touched his stomach: "Come to another table, I want to eat a big meal today!"
"Brother Shui is really raining in time. It's time to have a good meal. The waiter, removed the dishes and came to a table." Huo Bao ordered.
Xue Xiao originally wanted to be a "host" person, but he swallowed the words when he was about to his mouth.
