I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

He and Xu Wen had almost discussed it. It was still early. Anyway, he was also thinking about the training base, so we just went to see it together.

Hearing this, Xu Wen was also full of curiosity. He heard Ming Yu said that the common people could be trained to become a soldier in two or three months, but he somewhat did not believe it. I would like to see what the training base in Ming Yu's mouth looks like?

How could Ming Yu not know, and did not intend to leave Xu Wen, Ji You and Cao Jian naturally obeyed, so Ming Yu ordered people to prepare a light carriage and set off immediately.

The training base is located ten miles outside Liangcheng, next to a village called Baicun.

These days, there is a strange thing that the people of Bai Village talk about with relish. Every day, before dawn, a group of men and horses would run around the road in front of the village at the chirping, and when they came back, the sky was already bright.

At first, the people didn't know what was going on, and the whole village, young and old, who were still curious, came out to watch the fun. Later, it was like this every day, rain or shine, so it was nothing unusual. They only knew that this group of people came to the village, and they It's time to start a new work day.

Later, they also learned that this team seemed to be the escort of a prince from the imperial court, and they set up a military camp on the back of their village separated by a hill.

Chapter 18

The villagers also didn’t understand, shouldn’t the army guarding the prince guard the prince’s side? How did you get stationed outside the city? But these important matters are not their turn to ask. Since they were stationed here, there are people who look like generals to come to them to buy some eggs, such as ducks and livestock.

The villagers have never fought against such dignitaries. The ducks they raised with great difficulty and all the eggs they lay are stored. The family members are reluctant to eat them, so they sell them in the city, and then buy some for household use. return. They are close to the city of Liang, and the conditions are better. They can also have a little surplus grain to raise some livestock, which can improve the living conditions of the family. I heard that people in more remote places can't even feed people, how can there be spare energy to support others?

The general's surname was Mo, and it was Mo Jiang. After he said his future intentions, the villagers talked a lot and couldn't make up their minds for a while. They are generals sent by officials, and I heard that they came from the capital. If they don't follow their wishes, they might bring disaster to their white village. But if they agree, what if the money they give is low, or if they fail to pay their bills? Seeing that it's almost autumn, it's time for families to buy some things to keep out the cold. In this case, where can I get Qi Yin money?

The villagers looked at each other in dismay, and no one dared to open their mouths. Mo Jiang looked at Muzheng, who was also embarrassed.

Mo Jiang was also surprised, what's so embarrassing about this? Aren't all these things of the villagers going to be sold? What's the difference between selling to them and selling to the city? Besides, when they come to collect them, they don't have to go all the way to the city to sell them. This is a good thing that everyone can't ask for. Why do these people still look reluctant?

If it wasn't for His Highness's advice, the soldiers in the base must have a combination of meat and vegetarian food, so what nutrition should they keep up with? Why would he make such a trip, and he made a special trip to discuss with the villagers, just because he was afraid that the people below would not be able to do it. .

They could have gone into the city to buy these things. Later, they thought that the daily consumption of the soldiers is not small. Every time they go to the city to buy these things, it is time-consuming and laborious. It is better to find these from a few nearby villages. If the cooperation is good, It doesn't bother the two masters, and long-term cooperation in the future can save a lot of things.

"Is there any difficulty in the village?" Mo Jiang asked simply and generously.

"This..." The village is thinking for a long time, and then he said hesitantly: "The villagers are also living a tight life, and there are not many people in the village what you want, General, and there are still some eggs in my family. Then take it out and give it to the general."

Muramasa resolutely gritted his teeth and said this, thinking that he could send these people away by losing something. I just don't know if they will be satisfied. If they are greedy, he can only try his best to say good things to save the villagers a little less.

There are not many things he wants to buy in the village? This made Mo Jiang strange. He had already inquired about it. Most of the eggs in the city were sold by the villagers nearby. He came here to collect them.

Mo Jiang looked at the vigilant expressions of the surrounding villagers, and after a little thought, he already understood, and he smiled slightly and already had a plan in his heart.

At this time, the juniors in the village Zheng's family had already brought a basket of eggs, and the village Zheng took it, twitched his face, and handed it to Mo Jiang reluctantly, "General, this is a little thought from us, and I hope to accept it. "

Mo Jiang smiled and said, "Cunzheng, I'm here to buy things. You have to count a basket of eggs before you can buy them at the price you sell in the city." After speaking, he greeted the soldiers behind him. Counted the number.

The village leader was still in disbelief when he held the copper plate in his hand. He didn't expect that they really came to buy eggs, and they paid 10% more than the price in the city. This is much more cost-effective than getting them into the city. Think about it, it takes a lot of time to transport these things to the city, and they may not be able to sell all of them after entering the city. Now you can get things at your doorstep Selling it would save a lot of money.

The thoughtful villagers rolled their eyes, who would they sell to? He also hurried back to get the jī eggs that he had saved at home, or the jī ducks that he was going to sell.
