Chapter 23 Setting up camp

Seeing Chang Sheng smiling back, Wang Yannian sighed in his heart that he was still young after all. He could only shake his head and said: "Then you say it."

"I can't explain it in a few words. Let's do this. Since Uncle Chen doesn't believe my nephew, we might as well make another bet. My nephew doesn't want to bet too much, just two hundred taels of silver. It will last for six days. After six days

Let the two uncles see the results and agree with my nephew's point of view. I wonder if Uncle Chen has the courage?"

Before Chen Liang could answer, Li Yuan interrupted and said: "It just so happens that I still have some spare money. Since it is to help the victims, I will use it to add some luck. I will help my son and bet that he can win.

.”

"I bet you 20 taels on longevity." Sun Simiao strongly supported longevity.

"My kid also has money. If I bet my brother to win, I'll bet... just ten taels." Ruyi said while rummaging through her pocket for some silver.

Chen Liang was also angry. Are you all crazy? You actually believe in the nonsense that disasters can make money. Good boy, since you don’t give up, I will play with you and see how you end up. He immediately slapped the table: "Okay! I

Bet three hundred taels!"

Different from Chen Liang's anger, Wang Yannian was more surprised: Do everyone think so highly of this guy? Is it really possible that the locust plague can make money? Is there anything in this that I haven't understood?

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yuan heard from the side and asked: "Master Wang, are you interested? Do you want to make a bet too?"

Mr. Wang thought about it again and again: "Then I won't be disappointed. Since everyone is optimistic about Xiao Langjun, I will support Chen Tongshou, and I will also bet a hundred taels."

Changsheng asked his father to write the bet and sign it, then folded it and put it in his arms. He stood up and bowed his hands to the two adults. "I dare not say goodbye to this gift from my elders. Thank you two uncles for giving me the money. My nephew."

Let’s set off with Divine Doctor Sun.”

Wang and Chen looked at each other and said, "Little guy, don't speak too early. We will see the results in six days. Just take care of yourself."

Chang Sheng smiled and bowed to the ground, "Thank you two uncles for your teachings." He stood up and saluted Li Yuan and said, "Father, I will take the first step."

Li Yuan stood up and sat down: "Wait a minute, I'll see you off for my father."

The two of them left the private room. Li Yuan closed the door and leaned down and said: "My father has arranged for the servants to buy a batch according to your requirements this morning and send them down the mountain. You and the Taoist priest go first and look for them there."

Your brother, if there is any problem, let’s talk about it tonight. Be careful!”

When he said the last sentence, Li Yuan squeezed Changsheng's shoulder hard.

Changsheng nodded solemnly and followed everyone downstairs.

As soon as he left the restaurant, Changsheng ordered his servants: "Find a carriage. I will go there with Dr. Sun and my younger brother."

The servants were extremely efficient. In less time than a stick of incense, the three of them were already sitting in the carriage and running towards Longshan.

…

Along the way, Sun Simiao kept wanting to talk about the longevity plan, but as soon as the other party got in the car, he started to close his eyes to rest, so he could only swallow the words back in his stomach.

After sitting for a while, I thought about it and laughed to myself. I said to myself, Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao, you are so old, why are you not as calm as a child when things happen? The older you get, the more you go back.

Then he shook his head and put away his thoughts, and sat up cross-legged to meditate.

In the afternoon, the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Longshan Mountain not far from the Duke's Mansion. The three of them were attracted by the scene in front of them as soon as they got off the car.

A group of people stood darkly in the open space on the bank of the Gan River. They were led by two young men. One wore a short robe and looked smart and capable. They were none other than Tang Guogong's eldest son, Li Jixiang, and the other was fifteen or sixteen years old.

, with a delicate face, wearing a green robe and a long gown, dressed like an official official.

Next to the brother, there was a group of heavily armed soldiers lined up with guns, guarding several carts of supplies piled behind him.

When the two leaders saw Changsheng and the others coming off the carriage, they waved excitedly: "Changsheng is here!"

The three Changshengs walked over and introduced each other.

It turns out that the mother of the young man in Tsing Yi is also from the Li family in Longxi. From a relationship point of view, he is his distant cousin. He is fifteen years old and is now working as a copywriter under Li Yuan.

When the young man saw Changsheng, he introduced himself with a smile: "You are the cousin of Changsheng that my uncle said. My name is Fang Qiao. You can just call me Qiao."

Chang Sheng also handed over his hand and said, "Cousin Zi Qiao, thank you for your hard work."

Ji Xiang: "We arrived early in the morning. This is Commander Liao, a soldier under my father. He was training nearby with a group of soldiers from the army, and he happened to meet us."

When no one was paying attention, he whispered: "General Liao is my father's subordinate."

Changsheng's heart turns out to be like this. His father has really spent a lot of money. Not only does he support himself, he also secretly sends his subordinates to do things for convenience. Not to mention that there are troops to guard him. Changsheng feels much more at ease.

At a glance, he saw a tall and burly young man standing in front of the queue. Changsheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Commander Liao, Divine Doctor Sun and I have set up camp here according to the order of the governor of the state. We are going to go to the mountain to collect medicine tomorrow. I hope there will be no

It hinders the actions of the soldiers."

The man calmly clasped his fists and said: "The last general is Liao Zhong, the commander of the king and deputy captain of the state. He was ordered to camp here for training. We are camping here together. To ensure that we don't interfere with each other, why don't we make unified arrangements?

Okay." After saying this, he was afraid that Changsheng wouldn't understand what he meant, so he looked at him with a suggestive look.

How could Changsheng not know that his father had made an excuse to send him here to help him, so he quickly returned the gift and thanked him repeatedly.

With these soldiers there, no one can make any trouble.

The commander nodded, and with his soldiers, he began to unload the supplies from the truck and chose a location to set up a barracks.

Chang Sheng looked at them and silently gave his father a thumbs up in his heart.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the crowd of beggars in front of him. He turned around and asked Jixiang: "What's going on here?"

Ji Xiang pointed at the group of refugees behind him: "According to your request, I will first choose those who are in good health, and sell my own at a low price alone. I will not consider the rest today. I spent the whole morning selecting in the East Market, and all the qualified ones are here.

.A total of two hundred and three people. A total of twenty-three taels of silver."

Chang Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the group of people across from him with sallow faces and shabby clothes leaning together uneasily, looking at him with confusion and fear. He asked softly: "I told them what I bought them for.

Of?"

"No, my father just told me to bring them here, and I won't tell them what to do specifically."

Changsheng knew what he was doing, so he took two steps forward, found a large square stone, stood on it, and said loudly: "My name is Changsheng, and I am the third son of Tang Guogong's family. I bought you with money.

I know that some of you were farmers with good families not long ago, but you ran here because of the locust plague and had no food to eat. Some of you may have a certain skill before, and some may have read a book, but the purpose of your escape here is

There is only one thing: survive!

Work for me, and I will help you survive. It may be a little difficult at first, but I guarantee that at least you won't have to sleep in the open air every day or go hungry for three days. You will be well fed and clothed.

That's all I have to say. If you understand, I'll ask you one last time: If there is anyone who regrets it now and doesn't want to do it with me here, come forward and return the money to me, and I will take you back to Dongshi."

After Chang Sheng said this, he put his hands on his hips and looked down. For a moment, everyone was silent.
