Chapter 20: Grain robbery (2) ()

As I was talking, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door and the creaking sound of the shoulder pole.

Zhang Yang raised his head and saw two familiar people outside the door, carrying a shoulder pole on his shoulders, and walked in tremblingly.

"Bosheng, Lu Zhen." Zhang Yang called.

The two of them put down their shoulder poles and hammered their shoulders.

Zhang Yang opened the cloth head covered by the clay pot and was shocked: "Why are there so many?"

After getting off the boat, a few brothers went to each household to collect salt. Unexpectedly, so much was collected this time.

"Yes, it took half a day to collect a load of coarse salt last time, why did you get two loads of salt this time in a while?" Shi Xin asked.

Li Bosheng smiled and couldn't stop smiling: "Last time we collected salt, the farmers knew that the salt they had quietly boiled was also sold for money, so they all started to boil more salt. We went this time, and each family saved a lot and it was soon full. Yuan Ming and Yuan Shao were still collecting it. I guess they could still collect two ducts of salt in a while."

"I've sent this time." Shi Xin murmured.

A tuft of salt is refined into fine salt, and it can be sold for more than ten taels of silver. Four tufts of salt is fifty or sixty taels! This is an amazing number. You can never make so much money in your life by transporting salt in the salt field.

"What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?" Li Bosheng asked in confusion.

"You are not a pretty wife, what are you waiting for?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the gloom just now was wiped out.

Zhang Yang took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lu Zhen: "Lu Zhen, take these two taels of silver and give Yuan Ming and Yuan Shao the capital." This time Zhang Yang gave them one tael of silver in advance as capital, and now it has all turned into salt. Since it has been collected, it will be enough to purify it this time, which is enough for the amount of money in Taizhou city to use for half a month.

"Okay," Lu Zhen took the money and walked out quickly.

Seeing Lu Zhen go out, Zhang Yang closes the yard gate.

"Bosheng, we are all discussing a big move." Zhang Yang and Li Bosheng said.

Li Bosheng looked around: Zhang Shicheng and his four brothers, Tang He, and himself, a total of six. He was excited: he was already regarded as his own, and he participated in the process of purifying coarse salt, and went to kill Qiu Yi to participate, and now he discussed the big action together.

"Tell me, what do you need me? I, Li Bosheng, went up to the knife mountain and went down the oil pan without blinking." Li Bosheng said excitedly.

Well, this is the effect. In fact, it is not because I am worried about Lu Zhen and other brothers, but because I am afraid that there will be too many people, and I will accidentally leak the news and alarm the enemy.

"Brother Dingchen, what should we do if we want to rob Liu Ziren's grain ship?" Zhang Yang asked Tang He.

Among these people, only Tang He had led soldiers and fought wars. When it comes to specific tactics, he should have two tricks.

Tang He raised his eyebrows and said something to everyone to swear: "We rushed onto the boat, slaughtered one by one, and killed the person in charge of the escort, wouldn't it be enough?"

Zhang Yang frowned when he heard this. It was terrible that it was uneducated. How did he fight? Or was it the thousand households of the rebel army?

But he can't blame him. Most of the peasant uprising troops are mobs. They don't need to use their brains to fight. They just need to shout two commands: rush, kill, go up and chop, either chop down the other party, or be chopped down by the other party, or they are: there are too many enemies, escape quickly, and make a way out.

Plan carefully? It's impossible.

Li Bosheng said, "I have an idea."

"Tell me." Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at Li Bosheng.

Li Bosheng is a smart and smart person. He has shown his strength for the last time he killed Qiu Yi.

"Since the other party is on the waterway, generally speaking, they are rushing during the day and resting at night. We find out in advance which waterway they are walking, and ambushing the place where they stop. When they wait in the middle of the night, they are asleep, find a few brothers with good water nature, slowly touch the water, kill the people they keep guard, and then quietly get on the boat. If the person on the boat is an ordinary boatman, let him go, and if he is a vicious person who is accomplices of the tiger, he will solve the problem on the spot. Then drive the boat away while the night is dark."

"Where do we drive the boat?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Desheng Lake twenty miles east of Xinghua City." Li Bosheng said confidently, "The lake surface is open, and it is easy to move forward and retreat, with deep reeds and many islands. We hide the boat there and avoid the waterway, and no one will find it."

Desheng Lake? This is really a good idea!

I transported salt through Desheng Lake several times. On both sides of the main channel, there were reeds floating around, which were simply a maze. If no one led the way, I would not be able to get out when I went in. Find an island inside and hide the stolen ship there. No one would notice it. Didn’t the Honghu Red Guards do this business?

Moreover, after having food, you can summon some people to use the island as your first base. Transport the coarse salt collected from all over the place to the island and convert it into fine salt. Without having to sneak in the past, you can expand the scale and obtain greater profits. Moreover, the place where the iron ore was discovered last time was transported over in the woods near Desheng Lake and smeltered on the island.

Salt and iron are both officially monopolised and are the ones that make the most profits.

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Yang's mind in an instant. Zhang Yang clearly realized that he was no longer the ordinary Zhang Shicheng, and his career was about to start.

"And we can pretend to be Furong Village's troops and make this bad debt on the heads of the poles, so that they can bite the dog." Shi Xin said sinisterly.

"Yes," Shide and Shiyi also echoed: "The beasts in Furong Village are not good things either, this idea is high!"

Furong Village is more than 100 miles from Desheng Hubei. The clubs in the village colluded with the government and harmed the countryside. The government was inconvenient to the government. They all rely on them to solve the problems that the Baiju Salt Field is far away from Furong Village, but they were disturbed by them.

"Okay, let's do it!" Zhang Yang made up his mind.

"Bosheng, go to Dingxi and find out where their grain ships are parked, about what departures are set off behind them, and which waterway they take." He said that, taking two taels of silver from his chest, "Take this little money."

"What are you doing with money?" Li Bosheng asked.

"The activity funding is to invite the people on his boat to drink some wine," Shi Xin said from the side: "Brother, if you don't let me go, I will definitely find out for you clearly."

"Forget it, let you go. I don't know how you are looking for it. The money must be spent completely." Shid said from the side.

"Okay, I know how to do it." Li Bosheng said.

"Shide, Shiyi, you two are good at water. Take Lu Zhen and touch it from the water." Zhang Yang continued to instruct.

"Dingchen, Shixin, Yuanming, Yuan Shao, wait until they kill Wangfeng's whistle, we will go up from the shore."

"Brother, what weapons do we use?" Shi Xin asked. The only sharp knife was also thrown into the water by Zhang Yang. Now he was empty-handed and his house was just a hatchet. Can he beat him?

To build weapons, there must be iron, and iron can only be owned after the base is built. What should we use to defeat our opponents? Zhang Yang's eyes fell on the hatchet at home.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Zhang Yang said confidently.
