Chapter 22: Grain robbery (IV)

At noon on the third day, Li Bosheng came back.

Looking at the empty salt burrs outside, Bo Sheng was shocked: Did all the salt be turned into fine salt so quickly?

"Bosheng, are you back?" Zhang Yang saw Li Bosheng in the yard.

"This salt..." Li Bosheng asked hesitantly.

"In the house, every bag is already packed. Shixin has already packed eight bags of salt and sold it in nearby Xinghua City."

"He went directly?" Li Bosheng asked. The private transportation of salt without the government's approval was a death sentence. Every time he transported private salt, he was sold in the official salt.

"It's okay, he has a low-key card." Zhang Yang said. Since he got a free low-key card last time, it was unobstructed everywhere, so why didn't he use it? He has already made the crossbow anyway, and he is idle even when he is idle.

"By the way, have you found out the news?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I found out clearly that they had two ships in total, each of which was about 200 stones of grain. This morning, I watched them leave from the tiger's mouth with their own eyes. They walked along the Chelu River and passed Desheng Lake and transported them to Liu Ziren's home in Xinghua City."

"Well, it's a good job!" Zhang Yang praised.

"There are about seven or eight people on each of them, three boatmen, two hired bodyguards, and two of them are Liu Ziren's servants."

Li Bosheng started from the boatman and used a plan to approach them. After drinking twice, he became so familiar with each other as if he had become a brother.

"Because the waterway is slow, I think they should walk about two days to reach Desheng Lake. If we set out tomorrow night, we can arrive in front of them." Li Bosheng said.

"Well, there is no need to transport salt in the salt field these days. I'll ask them to make a decision." Zhang Yang looked at Li Bosheng with red eyes, "Thank you for your hard work these days, go back and rest first!"

Zhang Yang's heart was as quiet as water.

Although they have a lot of people, those boatmen cannot count. In addition, they have a lot of intentions and are also powerful generals like Tang He. I am still quite sure of this action.

"Ruohan is here!" Li Bosheng went out and happened to see Liu Ruohan coming in.

"Well, Brother Bo Sheng." Ruohan said, "Why haven't you seen you these days?"

"I did something." Li Bosheng continued to ask fear that Ruohan would ask, "It's better that she knows less about these things."

"I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he quickly lowered his head and went out.

"Why did Brother Bosheng walk so urgently?" Liu Ruohan asked Zhang Yang.

"Well, he is in a hurry to go to the bathroom." Zhang Yang said nonsense.

Liu Ruohan's cheeks turned red: "Brother Shicheng, if you say this, I will ignore you."

"Just kidding, by the way, how are your uncle?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's much better, I'm just hungry, it's okay, it's just..."

"Just what? Just say something, with me here, there is nothing that cannot be done." Zhang Yang said while patting his chest.

"He doesn't want to go back to Dingxi anymore. There, all the fields he planted were collected by the landlords. He couldn't live anymore, but there was no place to go..." Liu Ruohan stuttered.

"I'm just looking for you, too." Zhang Yang said: "Ruohan, have you ever heard of paradise?"

"What is a paradise?" Ruohan opened his big eyes and looked at Zhang Yang intently.

"There is such a place that is isolated from the world, work and support yourself, and you don't have to worry about landlords collecting rent, or about corvee service, have food and clothing," Zhang Yang explained.

"It would be great if there was such a place." Liu Ruohan said excitedly.

"But you need to be isolated from the world. Once you get to that place, you can no longer interact with the outside world." Zhang Yang said.

"Then I am willing, too." A voice came from outside.

"Uncle, you are not completely healthy yet, why are you here?" Liu Ruohan quickly went over to help.

"It's okay, my old man is still strong." Liu Tongyu said.

"I know a place is a small island, where people need to work. As long as you go up, you will have work, pay for it, and have food to eat. However, as long as you go up, you cannot come out easily."

Zhang Yang did not dare to say that he was preparing to build a base himself, which was too shocking. Moreover, his preliminary idea was that people could not be able to enter and exit at will, so that they could not keep it confidential.

"As long as I have a full meal, I will be satisfied." Liu Tongyu said. Although he lives in his niece's house for the time being, he cannot always stay at his niece's house. He has to work and live.

"Then can you find someone who is as willing to go as you?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Most of the people in our village have come out. I guess they can find twenty or thirty people." Liu Tongyu said.

"That's fine. Tell them who is willing to go, and the meal is full, the wages are 20 cents a day." Zhang Yang said.

Liu Tongyu doesn't believe in his ears.

"Okay, old man, I will definitely bring you some middle-aged laborers." Liu Tongyu said happily. Although he could eat enough to join the Red Turban Army, he could eat enough food, but it was too dangerous. He was earned by life. He could eat enough food and also get some wages here, which was much better than running to work hard.

Zhang Yang took out two hundred cents: "You can take these first, just treat them as... the settlement fee."

"Hey, don't do this," Liu Tongyu was anxious. "Who do you treat me as an old man? I can have a place to have a full meal. Thank you for not having time. I can't collect this money. I'll go back and bring two big cakes and find someone for you."

After saying that, Liu Tongyu strode out.

Zhang Yang shook his head. This old man was also a stubborn temper.

"Brother Shicheng..." Liu Ruohan looked at Zhang Yang and suddenly knelt down.

"Sister Ruohan, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Zhang Yang quickly helped Liu Ruohan up.

"Brother Shicheng, thank you for taking action for my father and avenged me. My uncle has worked hard to save you and found an errand. The little woman has no choice but to repay your kindness, so she can only promise you and hope you don't dislike me." At the end of her speech, her face turned red and her voice was as small as a mosquito hum.

After saying that, he bowed his head and his black hair covered his entire delicate face.

Zhang Yang was shocked: I promised her body? Such a beautiful little woman, with a jassic family, bright eyes and white teeth, is the type she likes, and she also has a lot of feelings for her.

But I vaguely feel that something is wrong.

"Sister Ruohan, get up first." Zhang Yang helped Liu Ruohan and stood up.

"Brother Shicheng..."

"Sister Ruohan, listen to me, I like you very much." Speaking of this, Zhang Yang glanced at Liu Ruohan. The word "Like" was a word that everyone talked about in later generations. I wonder what the ancient people reacted.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, the folk customs were already very open. It was no longer new to have no idea that the two children had no idea and had a private lifelong decision.

Liu Ruohan just lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhang Yang couldn't see her expression, so he had to continue saying: "But I don't want to get married yet, and there are still many things waiting for me to do. Can you understand?"

Liu Ruohan said angrily: "I know, I just have to say this to you."

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head, cherry's little mouth pecked at Zhang Yang's cheek, then lowered his head and ran out.

"Brother Shicheng, I will wait for you."

Sorry, Ruohan. In the chaotic times, the most important thing is to accumulate your own strength. For the time being, I don’t want to be tied to my family.

Zhang Yang’s main focus now is on robbing food.

In the evening, everyone arrived and mainly assigned two tasks.

First, you must be very skilled in using crossbows. Each person takes a crossbow and practices repeatedly. You must hit it accurately within twenty steps. In fact, this is a very low requirement. The bows and arrows in the army can generally shoot up to 300 steps. This combo crossbow is not made as a long-range offensive weapon. The main purpose is melee defense.
