Chapter 90 Be an individual
Chen Hu hurriedly stepped into the Chen family courtyard.
Before we could enter the hall, we saw the road map for goods at home hanging above the hall from afar. Chen Sheng and Chen Dao were standing in front of the road map, tilting their heads to look at something.
His eyes twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and his steps were faster!
"Baby, what do you want to do?"
He stepped into the hall quickly and shouted with a tiger face.
Chen Sheng looked back at him expressionlessly and said, "Close the door and talk."
At this glance, Chen Hu's heart became more and more pounding, and he thought to himself, "It's over, it's over, it's definitely a big deal this time."
He also stepped into the hall, turned around and closed the door of the hall, and then quickly walked to Chen Sheng.
At a glance, he recognized that what was hanging on the wall was the route map of Chen County to Qingzhou. The marked on the map were all counties and towns that bought and sold goods along the road.
"Uncle II, if someone wants to transport goods from Changyi to Chen County, which road would he take?"
Chen Sheng looked at the map on the wall and asked slowly.
Chen Hu glanced at him secretly, and saw that there was no joy or anger on his face, and he could not guess what this little guy was doing in his heart, so he had to say, "That depends on whether he was on a water road or a dry road."
Chen Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Dry Road."
Chen Hu: "How many goods and how many people are?"
Chen Sheng: "A lot!"
"Then I can't walk the path."
Chen Hu stretched out his hand and made a stroke on the animal skin map without thinking: "First go to Shan County, Jiyin County, cross Liang County, Shangqiu, and pass through the county and go straight to Chen County!"
"There are county roads all the way, and there are often rovers cleaning up bandits along the road, which is fast and safe!"
It is worthy of being an old businessman. Even though the businessman Chen family has not walked through the Qingzhou business road for many years, they still come out without hesitation.
Chen Sheng looked at the rough map on the wall that looked like a child's graffiti board, frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Is there a dangerous place in Chen County on this road? The dangerous place that is convenient for robbery!"
Chen Hu's hand gestured on the map trembled, and his face could no longer be tense, "Baby, what do you want to do? If you don't explain it clearly, how can I tell you?"
Chen Sheng didn't tell him clearly, and he really didn't dare to say it.
Chen Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's nothing big. There is a batch of grain in Changyi to be transported into Chen County. My nephew wanted to do the best of the landlords, and brought some people to welcome him and help him transport the grain so that outsiders would not say that the people of Chen County were not polite."
Chen Hu:...
He opened his mouth, closed it again, opened his mouth again, closed it again.
After a long time of recurring, he said, "Dalang, my second uncle knows that you are almost thinking about raising food, but you are still young, but you can't go to the road of crime!"
Chen Sheng smiled inadvertently, his eyes always on the map.
Chen Dao couldn't bear it anymore, so he moved to Chen Hu in one step and told him what happened at the county yamen banquet last night.
Chen Hu slowly frowned and asked in confusion: "Ji Dian Agriculture Chief Secretary intends to divide our family's food, why do you have to think about this again? Three hundred stones is enough for our family to last for a few more months!"
"Do you think the problem?"
Chen Sheng turned his head to look at him.
Chen Hu said puzzledly: "What's the problem?"
"But this batch of grain..."
Chen Sheng smiled and said softly: "It is clearly used to help refugees!"
"Are you a refugee?"
He pointed at Chen Hu and pointed at himself: "Or is my nephew a refugee?"
He was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Chen Hu was immediately speechless.
After a while, he said, "Dalang, my second uncle knows that you are kind-hearted, but at this time, the prefecture proposed and the heroes in the county agreed, why should we be this evil person? This is against the prefecture, the county government, and many aristocratic families in the county!"
The tone of indescribable emotion and the tone of indescribable bitterness.
"My nephew is not kind at all!"
Chen Sheng shook his head: "If they only get 50%... no, even 80% or 90%? My nephew would happily agree with them and happily distributed this batch of food with them."
"As a strong man, he should have the majority of the benefits!"
"Otherwise, why do you have to work hard to become stronger?"
"But they took them all!"
"Not a single pill left for those refugees!"
"This is not greed!"
"This is eating people!"
He looked at Chen Hu, and a crazy light flashed deep in his calm eyes: "Pigs and dogs don't even eat the same kind, let alone people?"
"My nephew does this, not for them!"
"Not for those refugees!"
"Just for me, just for our businessman Chen family... can be a person!"
"A person who doesn't eat people!"
He punched the animal skin map in the northeast of Chen County and penetrated the animal skin map: "I'll make up this ticket!"
Chen Hu looked at him, then looked at the hole on the map, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to deal with the robbed food?"
"Five thousand stones of food!"
Chen Sheng responded: "Our family has 30% left, and the rest will be sent out!"
Chen Hu: "Who should I send it to?"
Chen Sheng: "Whoever needs food will be sent to you!"
Chen Hu hesitated and wandered around him and the map on the wall again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't worry about this matter. I'll go find your father now, let's do it! We have seen many things like robbery in the road, and we guarantee that there will be no mistakes!"
"You can't do this!"
Chen Sheng shook his head: "Any time there is a problem with this batch of grain, the prefectures, county governments, and many aristocratic families in the county will immediately dig three feet into the ground like mad dogs to find people who rob the grain!"
"Our family is the first business family in the county. With strong force, we will be listed as the target of suspicion by these people!"
"So, not only can you not do this, I also need you to show up in the county and eliminate suspicion when we take action!"
"This matter will be done by my nephew, Uncle Dao, and the hundreds of people under Li Zhong!"
Chen Hu was anxious to speak when he heard this, so Chen Sheng emphasized his tone and held back his words: "The plan is secret. The people under Li Zhong are all bandits. After finishing the work, they will be taken back to Panlong Village for collective supervision. Unexpectedly, it will be impossible for others to make a mistake!"
"Now that the famine in Yanzhou has just begun, and the bandits have not yet become a climate. The prefecture should not send a large group of people to escort food and grass."
"Besides, my nephew is not ready to fight the escorts with real swords and guns!"
"Enough!"
Chen Hu opened his mouth, but couldn't find anything he could say.
He turned around and looked at the big hole on the map again, pondered for a long time before saying: "There is only one place suitable for robbery!"
He reached out and pointed the location of "Tuoxian" on the map: "Thirty miles west of Tuoxian, there is a trench road that is about a ripples, with rocks on both sides. When your third master and the others took this road, they encountered a group of bandits here and almost failed!"
