Chapter 72 The Demon

Huo Bao rushed to the road, and the light car was simple and he brought only a few people. When the water came here, he brought fifty people.

The six hundred county soldiers before Binjiang and the four hundred newly conquered soldiers in the past few days are now under the name of Shuijin.

The fifty people brought this time were all county soldiers with families in the county town.

These sixty people were temporarily placed in the grain shop.

Xue Xiao was determined to show off his skills. Half a day after going out the next day, he negotiated with the Guancang business.

"We can transport grain from tomorrow, and the first batch can release 8,000 stones... But we refused to pay credit, so our master said he would put it on first, and then look back and forth Brother Bao, he will do it slowly."

Huo Bao was happy.

Eight thousand stones are ninety-six thousand kilograms of grain.

Without taking out, these more than 20,000 people in Chuzhou can swallow it.

Save a little, the chews that more than 20,000 people before the autumn harvest are enough.

"Brother Xiao is burdened! If there is no such trick as Guan Cang, it is difficult to collect grain without the cost of scattering food, so how can it be so cheap!" Huo Bao thanked sincerely.

Xue Xiao waved his hand and said, "I'm just running errands, all of which are our master's favors... But this is just the first batch, listening to the whisper over there... This time the official warehouse is going to change the warehouse, and Chen Liang, who wanted to take action, had a total of 24,000 stones... they all wanted to leave the warehouse before the summer grain entered the warehouse..." Speaking of this, she smiled and said, "Brother Bao, don't force me, just as much as you can."

Huo Bao smiled.

Who would think that there was too much food in this year?

There is still one and a half months left for summer grain to be transported in one and a half months, and 24,000 stones of grain will be transported in one and a half months. In addition, the three thousand stones before the grain shop, 600 stones a day is indeed difficult, but if you overcome the difficulties, you will be able to overcome them.

Now Huo Bao lacks everything, but he doesn’t lack manpower.

"Everyone wants it! Try around and for a while, it's less and more, it's just a matter of tossing." Huo Bao said casually.

“…”

Xue Xiao had nothing to say.

"Transfer all the children in Quyang out to transport grain... don't save money, store all the horse, mule and carts, and transport all the food across the river one day as soon as possible, which is a great achievement!" Huo Bao privately ordered Huo Bao and Zhu Qiang to two.

Huo Bao was hungry and knew that the food was precious. He was ready to say, "Uncle Bao, don't worry, there is not enough scouts, and there is also cousin's uncle... Uncle Bao used Quyang soldiers, but his uncle was only happy..."

Huo Bao nodded and said, "Li Qianhu is good at ordinary affairs. If he is free and needs to build a granary, please ask him for help... Wang Qianhu is a Quyang landlord. If he has a recommendation from his son and nephew, you can choose two similar ones to lift them up. Now you are not afraid of too many people, but you are afraid of too few people."

Huo Bao listened at first, but then he turned red and nodded.

Neither uncle nor nephew brought up the stone.

They were more nervous and could still ask for help from here; there seemed to be a lot of people around Huo Wu, but not many people could really believe it, and the stone was just used.

Shui Jin was older than Huo Bao and Zhu Qiang, and he thought a lot, and said to Huo Bao: "How dare the small ambassador of the official warehouse release so much food? This must be the order from the superiors! Even if Mr. Xue Qi has face, he will not be the only one. Maybe he will sell a few. One family has more than 20,000 stones. If there are more than a few, I am afraid that the official warehouse of Jinling will be sold short!"

"It's strange not to be empty, it's strange not to be empty!" Huo Bao said.

The new magistrate came for money. In order to find more reasons to make money, he even married his stepmother to his father, so it was not uncommon to reach out for the official warehouse.

It can be seen that the officialdom is corrupt today.

After handing over the errand to transport grain, Huo Bao and his party left Jinling and went to Changzhou.

Because I used twenty mule carts under the guise of a grain shop, and more than one hundred "buds" followed the car.

These "mates" are the sixty people led by Xue Xiao (ten familiar men, fifty riverside soldiers), fifty people led by Shuijin, and fifty people led by Scouts.

In addition to the three of them, there are only one hundred and sixty-three people.

The Scouts were fifty years old, and the head of Xintun was no one else, but Li Yuan, the younger brother of Li Qianhu.

The big guy is from the short man, and this year he is fifteen years old. He acts similar to his elder brother Li Qianhu, and he is a good person to look at the eyes.

Knowing that Huo Bao valued the rules, Li Yuan restrained the Scouts and obeyed orders along the way.

Huo Bao's military training and Huo Wu's military training are of the same origin, but they are different.

Huo Bao is a half-aged boy here, but it is easier to teach new rules; in contrast, Xue Xiao's fifty-year-old rule is often deficient in these rules.

When I arrived at the fifty soldiers in Shuijin, I was even more disgusted.

"Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black."

Xue Xiao was also very concerned about face and scolded his subordinates in private, asking them to follow the Scouts.

When he arrived here in the water, he had fifty soldiers and gangsters. He was still angry that Huo Wu occupied Binjiang, but he thought that he had taken advantage of the number of soldiers. But when he saw the marching rules of the scouts with his own eyes, these people were also much calmer.

From Jinling to Changzhou, there are official roads along the way, 240 miles, passing by Changning County and Qua County under Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Everyone traveled forty miles a day and arrived in Changning County the next day.

The night before, I stayed in the wild and ate dry food, and I had to go to the county town to replenish supplies on this day.

A city gate tax was set up at the gate of the county town, and Xue Xiao took the road guide that was sealed by the county officials of Jinling Prefecture, and the convoy entered the city smoothly.

At the gate of the city, the convoy will be placed in the foot shop, and the convoy will be placed here.

The ten familiar guys were used to walking on this road, so they borrowed two stoves from the shop and brought their own food.

This is also a business rule, and I am afraid of "drinking unclean food".

Huo Bao took advantage of the pretext of tasting delicious food and pulled Shui Jin and Xue Xiao out.

Changning County is not big, but there are two famous mountains here, one is Maoshan, which is the "first blessed land and the eighth cave heaven" in Taoism, and the other is Baohua Mountain, which is known as the "first mountain of the Literature School".

The two religions of Taoism and Buddhism have a long history in the local area, and there seems to be no room for Maitreya Buddhism to develop.

Actually, is this really the case?

The three of them went to a local old-fashioned restaurant called vegetarian food and witnessed many good shows on the way.

A few naughty boys ran around the street, holding candy people in their hands, shouting "Vajra comes to the world, peace in the world", "Vajra comes to the world, peace in the world".

The meaning of this sentence is similar to the meaning of "The Ming King came to the world and peace in the world".

Because the "Ming King" in "The Ming King comes to the world and peace in the world" refers to the "incarnation of anger" of the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha, the Great Wheel Ming King, who is also known as the Great Wheel Kalachakra.

Huo Bao paused and looked at the candy man in the child's hand.

"Brother Bao wants to eat it? There is one in front of you, let's go buy it!" Xue Xiao said when he saw this.

Huo Bao nodded: "Okay, go buy it."

The sugar man stall was just around the corner, and the three of them walked over.

In front of the sugar man stall, a circle of children surrounded a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Mr. Song, I want that big candy man!"

"good!"

"Mr. Song, are you here tomorrow?"

"Come!"

"Mr. Song, I'll go and call my brother, don't leave."

"It's not to leave, it's not to leave."

"Just say those two words? If you don't eat two candy people, just say a few words?"

"One sentence is enough!"

Huo Bao and Shui Jin were both concerned about the Confucian scholar.

This Confucian scholar was so shabby that he looked thin, and he was as skinny as a skeleton, standing there shaking.

This man asked the children to spread prophecies, which was obviously an ulterior motive, but it looked like a joke.

Is this Maitreya?

This is Changning, where Taoism and Buddhism flourish. If you are engaged in these "cults" in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that Taoism and Buddhism will not be allowed?

Isn’t it too stupid to be so uncovered?

Xue Xiao waited impatiently, took out the silver beans and handed them to the candy man and said, "Make two for us first!"

"We'll come first!"

"That's right, it's our turn!"

The two children were angry and hid behind the Confucian scholar and muttered.

The Confucian scholar looked at Xue Xiao and said disapprovingly: "This young master should know what 'come first and then come' is!"

Xue Xiao looked at the faded robe on the Confucian scholar, his eyes fell on the light purse, and said softly: "Sir, you should know what 'doing within your ability' is!"

The Confucian scholar blushed and couldn't speak.

The old man who was a sugar man took Xue Xiao's silver beans and said to the Confucian scholar: "Mr. Song... Everyone gathered to buy food for the husband. The husband was dispersed. He was so hungry. What's the picture... The old man didn't know what "Vajra" or "Vajra" is, but he didn't dare to sell it to the husband's sugar man..."

"Vajra comes to the world and peace is coming!" The Confucian scholar's eyes were straight and he murmured to himself.

A few children who were not assigned to the sugar man stopped working and pulled the Confucian scholar's sleeve.

"Sir, I want to eat sugar man!"

"I've been waiting for a long time."

The Confucian scholar picked up the light purse, poured it into his palm, and five or six copper coins fell.

The Confucian scholar walked to the cake shop next to the sugar man's stall, bought two white rice cakes, broke a few pieces, and a piece for each child.

Several children answered happily.

"Vajra comes to the world and peace is coming!"

"The King Kong is here!"

"The world is peaceful!"

A crisp childish voice rang out.

The Confucian scholar showed a confusing smile on his face and walked away in a drift.

Huo Bao and his party saw it.
