Last time Gao Jiu brought back a telephone switch and a large number of telephones, telephone lines and other equipment from Yu County. Now, telephones have been installed in Taohua Cave and the surveillance whistle on the mountains outside Taohua Mountain, making communication and communication very convenient.

Gao Jiu picked up the phone and notified Wang Yuling, asking Bazel to go directly to find her.

It was the end of May, and the wheat harvest was about to be harvested soon. After the wheat harvest, it was the best time to store a large amount of grain in Taohua Mountain.

Gao Jiu decided to no longer carry out combat missions in the near future, to speed up the training of the troops and strengthen grain reserves.

In people's impression, the main means of survival of bandits is robbery, but it is not.

The bandits occupy the mountains and become kings. They establish their authority through killing people and shock the people around the mountain villages. Then they will delineate a range, such as some surrounding villages, which they usually do not rob. They will threaten these villages and regularly pay food and pay for the bandits' mountain villages. If these villages resist, they will suppress them.

Generally speaking, if the people in these villages obey and pay food and pay on time, they will also protect the people in these villages.

The way of survival in Taohua Mountain is also very similar to that of ordinary bandits. There are 17 villages of all sizes around Taohua Mountain. The Taohua Mountain guerrillas obtain food, vegetables, oil, meat, and other supplies from these villages.

The difference is that the Taohuashan guerrillas did not collect food and wages from the surrounding villages, but sent purchasing personnel to purchase with real money. The people in Taohuashan are rich and the transactions are fair, so the people in the surrounding villages are willing to do business with the people in Taohuashan. In order to facilitate the purchase of Taohuashan, the people in Taohuashan will issue purchase documents to those familiar people and ask them to go outside the mountain to purchase, which greatly facilitates the supply of the Taohuashan guerrillas. This method also drives the economic development of the surrounding villages and forms a unique Taohuashan economic circle.

As the number of people in Taohua Mountain Village increases, the amount of supplies they need is increasing. Often, one or two villages cannot supply so much supplies, so they need more villages and supply supplies to Taohua Mountain at the same time.

The purchasing staff in Taohua Mountain are limited, so merchants are asked to deliver to designated locations. Within the agreed time, many villages will deliver goods to the same location at the same time, thus forming a small market.

In order to take care of the surrounding people, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas set up markets in the south, north and west, taking turns to purchase at various markets every week, and taking care of the surrounding 17 villages as much as possible.

That morning, the guard captain Geng Hua, with six team members and escort guerrilla procurement personnel, went to Wuligou to purchase.

At noon, Geng Hua and others came to Wuligou and saw dozens of people waiting there. They placed goods on the ground, waiting for the purchasing personnel of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to come and choose.

There are many types of goods, including chicken, duck, fish, sticky rice, soybeans, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, various vegetables and other foods, as well as needles and threads they bring from the city, as well as other daily necessities.

Han Laoliu is 41 years old this year, with a big head and a thick neck, and a big belly. He has a flushed face. You can tell at a glance that the food is very good.

Han Laoliu was the first group of old members to follow Gao Jiu to the mountain. He is now the chef of Taohua Mountain Village. He used to run a restaurant in his hometown and developed the habit of purchasing in person. He often came to select goods in person. The people knew him, and for the sake of the ocean in his pocket, they called him "Sixth Master". He enjoyed the respectful attitude of these vendors to him. People in the village also respected him very much. He was very satisfied with his current life.

At the market, he used to walk from the east to the west, and selected the goods of the merchants one by one. When he saw what he liked, he shouted arrogantly: "I've collected it."

The buyers behind him started weighing and paying. The merchants who sold the goods were all smiling.

"Thank you, Master Liu, Master Liu!" There were endless compliments. For those ordinary goods or goods of inferior quality, he would frown and scold the vendors. He said, "You guys, do you treat the men who are going up the Taohua Mountain as people, and just use these junk to fool us?"

So the vendors kept saying good things.

Seeing that they came from afar, Han Laoliu would not completely refuse. He would lower the price to buy some of their goods, and then let them bring good goods next time. Han Laoliu's care naturally sounded another "Thank you, Master Liu".

Han Laoliu was a little proud. He suddenly felt a cold light hitting his back and couldn't help but shiver. He turned around and saw Geng Hua looking at him with disdain.

Han Laoliu hurriedly walked forward, nodded and said, "Captain Geng, these guys are all shouting randomly. I, Liu Master, are not worthy of money. Only the boss in Taohua Mountain deserves to be called Jiu Master."

He was really worried that Geng Hua would go back and tell the people in the village about his being called Liu Ye.

Think about it, the boss called Jiu Ye, but Han Laoliu dared to call Liu Ye. Isn’t that asking for trouble?

Seeing Geng Hua's face slightly improved, Han Laoliu continued, "Captain Geng Hua, I know you like Huadiao wine. I specially ordered a whole box and will definitely be delivered in a few days. At that time, I will make some side dishes for you, and then heat a pot of Huadiao wine and deliver it to you in person."

Geng Hua smiled when he saw Han Laoliu's attentive look.

Since most of the goods were booked in advance, the vendors basically sold the goods and happily went home with the white ocean.

There are already many horses in Taohua Mountain Village. These horses cannot enter the Taohua Cave. They are usually raised on the hillside north of Taohua Cave, and a horse circle is specially built there. Now there are two large baskets on the horse's backs, and the team members loaded the purchased goods on the horse's backs. Geng Hua saw that the goods were loaded and said, "Han Laoliu, hurry up and leave."

Han Laoliu said, "Wait a moment." As he said that, he stood on a stone, put on a pergola in his hand, and looked to the west.

It turned out that he was waiting for a merchant in Xiwangzhuang. He had already ordered a batch of small grinding sesame oil, and a batch of peppercorn ingredients and other seasonings for cooking. For some reason, these people didn't come today.

After looking for a while, Han Laoliu shook his head with regret and cursed: "You guys who are not trustworthy, see how I deal with them." He jumped off the stone and said: "Let's go, don't wait for them!"

At this moment, a shout came from the west: "Sixth Master, Han Liu."

When Han Lao Liu saw that it was Li Gousheng from Xiwangzhuang, he ordered Xiaomiao sesame oil from him.

Geng Hua and others saw someone coming, so they stopped to wait for him. Not long after, the man ran over. He looked very embarrassed, his face was swollen, his mouth was still covered in blood, and his clothes were torn.

Han Laoliu frowned and asked, "Li Gousheng, what's wrong with you? Who bullies you?"

Li Gousheng made a "splash" and knelt in front of Han Laoliu, crying and said, "My goods were stolen by the puppet army of dogs. Do you want to make the decision for me!"

The 17 villages around Taohua Mountain are all covered by Taohua Mountain. They do not have to pay taxes to the government, but only accept the jurisdiction of Taohua Mountain.

Geng Hua became angry as soon as he heard this. He asked, "Li Gouyuan, what is going on? Who is the courageous person who dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head?"

Li Gousheng didn't know Geng Hua, so he looked at Han Laoliu.

Han Laoliu hurriedly said, "This is Captain Geng from our Taohua Mountain. If you have any grievances, just tell Mr. Geng."

Li Gousheng talked about his unfortunate experience in a whole lot.
