    Returning to Xingwen Village, Wang Chong informed Fan Xiaoshi, Yu Wenbai and Xian Yumeng of the situation. After discussion, he arranged for the three of them to act separately.  There are two ways to solve the food problem: internal and external. The external side is in Chengdu.  Wang Chong asked Fan Xiaoshi to return to Chengdu to discuss the grain business with Shopkeeper Lin, and then transferred Deng Yan to be responsible for commercial transactions with Chengdu.  "The business of Shuihuo Store is not good now. Shopkeeper Lin must have a lot of grain in his hands. Negotiate with him to buy it at a low price, and ask him to scan the Chengdu Grain Market. How can I make two thousand dan." Fan Xiaoshi was solemn.  After accepting the order, he was still worried: "How can two thousand stones be enough?" Wang Chong spread his hands: "I have no money in my pocket, and the rewards for the two great achievements in this battle have been almost spent. There are only a few hundred strings left, plus two hundred more  A piece of silk can barely buy two thousand shi of bad grain. "Chengdu is the granary of Shu. Finding 10,000 shi of grain is not a problem, but money is a big problem.  Wang Chong gained a lot from this battle and spent a lot of money after the war.  He had to win over Zhang Li and others who went to Shaanxi. Although this friendship was not maintained by money, it was not respectable to have no money.  He would give a lot to the family, but he didn't want his younger siblings and Xiang Lian Yu Lian to live a tight life.  As for Wang Chong¡¯s property in Haitangdu, it was almost completely destroyed. The water and fire elements were transferred to several wine merchants in Huayang, and the happy forest elements were transferred to Sun Zhou¡¯s father.  The perfume business was no longer in business, but the prescriptions were given to the Wang Xianggong family, the Deng family, and the Yuwen family respectively. Although the Pan family's flower garden land was still there, the flower seeds were distributed to several flower households who died in the Sanhua Building.  This was the price he paid for getting through the government in exchange for his father's life.  Except for the place where Haitang Crossing was held, and the Haitang Market that Wang Chong was holding up just for fun.  There is also a paper mill that has not had time to operate carefully and is still hidden in the dark.  Wang Chong was already alone in Haitangdu and could not make any more money.  Yu Wenbai and Xian Yumeng held their chests and heads high and said, isn¡¯t it just money?  Everyone join together!  Haitang Society and Haitang Academy mobilized and could raise three to five thousand guan, but if it was not enough, they could find support from family members.  Before Wang Chong could express his position, Fan Xiaoshi shook his head and said: "This is not just a matter of money. Tang Longtu came here to deal with the Bo people. The government does not provide relief. Shouzheng uses his own money to provide relief. This is not only against Tang Longtu's intention.  , and also committed a big taboo." "Indeed, Wang Chong himself gave tens of thousands of stones of grain to help the Bo people, which was his intention to buy the Bo people. Tang Ke handed a bullet to Bianliang, and Wang Chong would be in danger.  "Xiao Shi is right. These two thousand stones of grain are not given directly to the Bo people, but are prepared to be sold to them. In addition to this matter, Xiao Shi also needs to contact Sun Zhou." Wang Chong has already made a preliminary plan. Last year, he asked Sun Zhou to  Zhou and others stayed in the Changning Army for a while. They were planning for a rainy day, but they just needed it now.  "When Sun Zhou came last year, he was entrusted by me to inspect the products of Lunan. In addition to the products of Zhanglu Mountain and medicinal materials, the most valuable products here are lychees and sugar frost. Zhengshan, a member of Luo Shidang in Xingwen Village  This is the way. When we asked them to open the fields earlier, they transplanted dozens of acres of lychee trees and sugarcane trees. The key to passing this level is these two things. "Lychees and cane sugar are the foundation of Xingwen Village.  Next step plan.  But the food crisis is coming, so we can only do it in advance.  Yu Wenbai said: "Sugar frost is produced everywhere in Shu, and it is not a rare thing. Besides, Xingwen Village was built in a hurry, and it cannot produce much. As for lychees, they can only be sold locally, and it is difficult to sell them far away." Speaking of this  Both, Xian Yumeng, a foodie, got excited and smacked her lips and said: "Some are just some. Although there is a lot of barrenness here, lychees are good. I heard that when the lychees are ripe in Luzhou in June, they will only cost about ten cents per kilogram.  You can eat it with your belly open. "Yu Wenbai said: "Ten yuan is the price at this time. During the Shenzong Dynasty, a pound was only five or six yuan, and you couldn't make much money just by selling it in Shuzhong."  It is fresh one day, the color changes the next day, the fragrance changes on the second day, the taste changes on the third day, and the color deteriorates on the fourth day.  At this time, there are only two ways to eat lychees outside the production area, one is to make preserved fruits, and the other is to enjoy the treatment of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, using secret methods to keep them fresh and having them delivered quickly by flying horses. The latter is obviously not what ordinary people can count on.  During the Shenzong Dynasty, the government bought 170,000 lychees in Fujian to pay tribute to the palace, which cost 150,000 guan, nearly a guan each. The price was spent on keeping them fresh and delivering them.  Wang Chong said with a smile: "I will figure this out. Xiaoshi is recruiting buyers in Chengdu to build momentum for lychees. Since Xianyu is interested, Xianyu will be responsible for Xingwen Village."  , judging from this guy's face, the "loss rate" of lychee production will probably increase by several percentage points.  Letting the Bo people earn money on icing sugar and lychees in exchange for food is Wang Chong's method of making up for the food gap. This is actually the future development path of Xingwen Village.  "Let's build a trading house, transport grain, clothing, silk, gold and iron from Chengdu to sell, and sell the special products here. Xingwen Village is short of food, but there is no shortage in other Dongzhai, and you can also transport it from Chengdu.Come here and sell it, exchange grain for books, and you can also stock up on a batch of grain.  " As soon as Yu Wenbai started thinking, ideas began to pour out. Fan Xiaoshi subconsciously said: "Business firm?  Why not simply build a city to facilitate business, and implement market reforms in Xingwen Village, so that Xingwen Village can handle the entry and exit of money, grain, merchants and goods, which will be very beneficial!  " Xian Yumeng reacted fiercely: "Business affairs?  Are all the profits we earn going to the government?  no!  " Yu Wenbai said deeply: "How can the government compete with the people for profit?  Wang Chong said: "If this road is opened, it will be a huge profit."  I only have the power to take care of things in Bo. Once this place becomes a climate, I will definitely be driven away.  Leave this benefit to the government, and God knows what the successors will be able to do.  It's better for us to control it, everyone has a share.  " Yuwen Xianyu looked at each other, with undisguised joy in his eyes. Fan Xiaoshi looked at it for a moment and nodded helplessly. Wang Chong took advantage of the power of presiding over the affairs of Xingwen Village to control this trade route, which was to use power for personal gain, without distinguishing between officials and businessmen, but  This is the land of the Bo people, so there is no need to use ordinary standards to measure it. If Wang Chong is there, it will benefit the Bo people, and if he changes people, he will suffer.  This profit will continue to bind Fan Xiaoshi and others, and it is not just about squeezing the Bo people. In his plan, the big Bo people in Xingwen Village will also be brought in to share the profits. After all, they have to rely on them to push the local people to do the actual work.  The food matters were arranged, and Fan Xiaoshi and Xian Yumeng each received their duties. Yu Wenbai asked anxiously: "What about me?  " Wang Chong sighed solemnly: "Xingwen Village has more than just food problems at the moment" The food crisis is still an opportunity. If we deal with it well, it is a way to make huge profits, which makes Wang Chong nervous but hopeful. But the other two  This incident gave Wang Chong a headache. "Incorruptible envoy Jiang Chong" Hearing that his mission was to deal with this person, Yu Wenbai also frowned. "Xiaobai, you are good at dancing, even that eunuch Fu Yao.  You coaxed them all around, just a veteran martial artist, effortlessly!  " Xian Yumeng's encouragement seems to have had the opposite effect. It makes Yu Wenbai's pretty face become darker and darker. Fu Yao has a simple background and is an eunuch, so it is easy to guess his thoughts. But the old martial artist is different. He is too scheming.  It's the in-laws of the Deng family who are here to trouble Wang Chong. It's very difficult to get this kind of person's attention. Wang Chong said: "I heard that he will come to Luzhou in early March. Just try to delay him for a while.  After I solve another problem in Xingwen Village, I will deal with him again.  " Is there another problem? The three of them asked eagerly. Wang Chong raised his hand and pointed to the south: "There are some die-hard Bo people in the south who are still not convinced. Xingwen Village is another piece of fat" The three of them are not good at this aspect. They all have some problems.  Worried, Wang Chong comforted him by saying that he had already made arrangements. Tang Wei had gone to Sizhou on his orders and would probably be back in a few days. Then he felt relieved. After dispatching matters at the township department, Wang Chong went again.  Patrol Hall. Brothers He Guanglin and He Guangzhi are still locked up here. Only when He Guangzhi is on the way can He Guanglin be freed. However, Tang Wei has not yet returned and it is not time to deliver the letter. He Guanglin is a little worried.  I thought Wang Chong was going to change his mind, but he finally calmed down after hearing Wang Chong inquire about the grain situation in Kuizhou. When he came out of the inspection hall, he met Wang Shiyi, and the big man was looking for him. "Erlang, there are many people in Xingwen Village recently. Come here."  There are too many people there, and there is no way to investigate the details. Should the village be closed down for a while?  "Wang Shiyi is responsible for training Baoding, the shopkeeper of Xingwen Village. The two are actually two in one, and there are only a few dozen people. He is particularly concerned about the safety of the village, and when he encounters Lun Duodun in the south who has a different direction, his first reaction  It means sealing the village. Wang Chong smiled bitterly and said, "There's not even a fence, how can we seal it?  " Wang Shiyi complained like Zhongqian before: "We should have built the village wall a long time ago" Wang Chong shook his head. It's not that he doesn't want to build it, but that it can't be built. At this time, Xingwen Village has just been built and will wait for the Han immigrants to come.  The more important reason is that Xingwen Village has a special nature and is a place where the Bo people live. Until there are enough Han people and the Bo people are sufficiently Hanized, the imperial court will never regard it as a place of royal transformation.  A wall is a city. If Xingwen Village rebels and defends the village, it will be very difficult to attack and it will cost lives and material resources. This is a secret order from the imperial court.  Zheng Juzhong directly instructed Sun Xisou through a private letter. In the entire Appeasement Department, except for Sun Xisou and Zhong Youzhi, only Wang Chong knew this. This could not be said publicly, otherwise it would upset the hearts of the Bo people, so Zhong Zhong was forced to do so.  Qian didn't know, let alone Wang Shiyi. Although this matter was kept secret, it was not difficult to guess. Wang Chong pretended to avoid talking about it, and Wang Shiyi also realized that he stopped talking about it and just sighed: "This won't work.  , Erlang, please stop traveling casually. I can't always stay by Erlang's side, but"The master and the Taoist priest went back again" Zhao Shen and Master Ba Nan also played a role in bringing down Lungukun, but Ba Nan did not want to have too close contact with the Western Army for fear of being exposed.  Then he left, and Zhao Shen entered the second level of Taoist rank and returned to Huayang to repair the Taoist temple. If the master and apprentice were here, Wang Chong could help him. Wang Chong said with a smile: "Is it possible that there will be assassins coming after me?  " Wang Shiyi asked seriously: "Why not?  "Wang Chong thought secretly, speaking of assassins, Luo Canniang has already done it once, but he covered it up for her at the time, otherwise Wang Shiyi would have found a way to deal with Luo Canniang. "But Wang Chong couldn't help Wang Shiyi's seriousness.  If you don't take his words to heart, you will find Li Yinyue when you return to the house. Wang Shiyi can't always be with you, but Li Yinyue can. I don't know if she is used to being a maid, but she still wants to be a personal guard. "Youwhat are you talking about?"  What" But he didn't expect that the girl would blush and lower her head as soon as she saw him. Her shy girlish charm made his heart shudder. He wanted to hold her hand again and tease her gently, but the girl ran away. Why?  ? Wang Chong was puzzled. When he saw Li Yinyue didn't show up during dinner, Wang Chong muttered, "Maybe he didn't figure it out." Wang Chong suddenly realized that it was his father who complained about being a concubine.  Things have to be decided between you and me. Dad, don't make your own decisions.  " Wang Yanzhong was angry: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir!  With my current status, it¡¯s not easy for me to arrange marriage arrangements for you, but I can always make the decision regarding concubinage!  ?  " Wang Chong was speechless, and suddenly felt that this father was not a corrupt scholar, nor was he all good. A truly qualified corrupt scholar was very disgusted with taking concubines before marriage. He had no psychological barriers to accepting concubines before accepting Li Yinyue, he just felt that Xianglian Yulian should be ranked first, but once again  Thinking that Xianglian Yulian is only fifteen this year, Li Yinyue, who is also the same age as him, has already opened up and can bear the pain, but she can't help but feel itchy in her heart. There are still so many troubles in Xingwen Village, even at her age.  You're not big, how can you be obsessed with this matter Wang Chong sighed and suppressed the itch. After dinner, Li Yinyue showed up with a straight face, pretending to be innocent, and he cooperated not to provoke it.  Girl. But when night fell, Luo Canniang came over with a can of soup in a daze, which made Wang Chong sigh again. She also said that Xingwen Village is a piece of fat, and she is the real piece of fat.  Deer and deer meat soup specially made by my wife and I.  The little girlsaid, it's very good for your body. You've been busy and tired these days, so it's just the right time for you to take some tonic.  " Luo Canniang stuttered out her intention, squinting her eyes, not daring to look at Wang Chong. Wang Chong welcomed her into his room on the ground floor of the small building. He put the soup can on the table, took off the lid and took a whiff, his face  There was a strange look on his face. "It smells so good" The expression on his face must have been very strange when he said this. Wang Chong was really afraid that he might have suffered internal injuries. "You want to try it too?"  "Seeing that Luo Canniang's head was about to pierce into the slightly bulging breasts, Wang Chong teased. "Sure enough, Luo Canniang waved her hands to push her away, and Wang Chong pretended to be annoyed: "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat either."  " "You're afraid I'll poison you!"  You are so petty, just eat what you want!  " Luo Canniang was also irritated. She angrily took out a bowl and drank it. Wang Chong took the bowl leisurely, took a sip, shook his head and said: "It's too bland. You are afraid of poverty and are reluctant to add salt.  ?  " With a stinky face, Luo Canniang turned around to get the salt. She just took two steps when she heard Wang Chong scream, and then said: "Forget it, light tastes like light salt.  " When he turned back, he saw Wang Chong raising his head to drink the soup and chewing the deer meat. When he put the bowl down, he wiped his mouth with his sleeves and praised: "Not bad!  "But she didn't know that when she turned around, Wang Chong had already raised his arms and poured a bowl of soup out of the window, and the sound of the soup was muffled by his cry. Wang Chong was already very skilled at this action in his previous life, and he would not do it when drinking.  The trick is to seek death. Luo Canniang said with bright almond eyes: "Then just drink it.  " Wang Chong patted his stomach: "I've just finished eating, how can I eat more? Let's take a rest" Then he closed his eyes and stroked his forehead: "Huh?  Why are you feeling dizzy?  "Then take a nap, and I'll help you get into bed" Luo Canniang suppressed her pride, helped Wang Chong onto the bed, and took off his clothes and shoes for him. She was busy for a while. She just covered him with the quilt, and it seemed that she was already there.  Wang Chong, who was sleeping soundly, took off the quilt again, but at this time, the girl's face turned red and her hands shook. "According to what I said, it was" The girl's trembling hands touched Wang Chong's body.  Before reaching the end of the field, he took it back, rubbed his forehead and muttered: "Why is my head so dizzy? I took the antidote?  ¡±  As he spoke, he fell limply on Wang Chong. After a moment, a faint snoring sounded, and he fell into a deep sleep.  He stood up and helped the girl to bed, took off his coat, shoes and socks, and covered him with a quilt. Wang Chong's eyes were clear and he had a look of helplessness on his face: "This must be your mother's idea. What an idiot."  The East and West Bo people are familiar with them and use them for hunting, but Wang Chong is also familiar with them.  Having been tricked once by Xianglian Yulian, it would be a big joke to be tricked again by Luo Canniang.  I felt the smell of the soup as soon as I smelled it, and it was true.  There is no antidote for this thing. As long as you don't eat much, splash cold water on it, or slap your face with two hands, you will wake up.  Wang Chong didn¡¯t intend to wake her up, so he let her sleep here that night. An An Dou Luozhi¡¯s heart also calmed down the little Bo girl.  Thinking of Luo Canniang looking at him blankly when he woke up in the morning and asking what happened last night, Wang Chong couldn't help but smile. Shouldn't he say with pain at that time: "You have to be responsible"  " After leaving the door, Wang Chong went to the study room. He might as well spend the night with books.  This night, the moonlight was dim and the cold was biting. It was destined to be an uneventful night.  When there was no more light in Xingwen Village, a few dark figures crept outside the house, leaned against the fence and visited for a while, then quietly entered the yard.  He raised something with his wrist, and the dim moonlight reflected on it, and the cold light that flashed was extremely cold.  (To be continued.
