Now Harry's face is full of youth, his tone is full of heroic spirit, he looks like a nouveau riche.
Qi Yu listened to his words, watched his actions, and understood his intentions. From the word "yao" in his mouth just now, it was not difficult to guess that he had discovered a windfall.
However, Harry did not explain much about this. Instead, he asked Qi Yu: "Master Qi, how are you doing with the collection in this village?"
"Ahem...Oh, except for some coarse grains, I basically got nothing."
"A little? How much is that?"
Qi Yu continued to say perfunctorily: "According to my estimation, the amount is less than enough for ten thousand people for three days, which is pitiful. In this case, I am too lazy to withhold it. At present, I have given it all to General Gao for military rations."
The implication is that no benefits have been collected.
I thought that Harry would sigh in depression after hearing this, but in the end, he laughed heartily, and his expression was exactly as I expected.
what's the situation?
Seeing Qi Yu's stunned look, Harry explained: "Master Qi, to tell you the truth, when I cleared away the remnants of the banquet, I deliberately left a few alive, and after I tortured them to extract confessions, oh no, it should be
It was said that after being influenced by Taoism, they changed their ways and changed their ways, and told me a 'big breast'."
Big breasts?
Could it be referring to the big secret?
Niang Xipi, you old boy’s pronunciation of Chinese is very accurate, I’ve made people think too much.
"Let me tell you, how big of a breast are you holding in your hand?" Qi Yu imitated his tone and asked coquettishly.
"It's astonishingly big!" Harry took a sip of wine and began to show off: "According to the reports of the prisoners of war, there is an ancient tomb hidden in this deep mountain. This is completely consistent with the information you provided. It's a pity.
Unfortunately, this ancient tomb was robbed and dug up by Na Yan, and the whereabouts of the contents inside were unknown. However, Na Yan was also a smart man. He slightly modified the underground palace and made it into a granary for storage.
Prepare for emergencies. Now, the food in the tomb is in my hands."
What?
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this: I just hit randomly, how can I still hit the target?
The coincidence is jaw-dropping.
Unexpectedly, Harry sighed with regret and said: "In the past two days, I have been wondering where the treasure in the tomb went? I thought that the gold and silver from the banquet was placed here.
Copycat……"
Qi Yu, on the other hand, shrugged and spread his hands to express that he had indeed not seen him.
What to ask?
Even if there were, they would have been shipped away by me long ago.
But let’s get back to thinking about it, let’s get back to talking about it, and first round out my words.
Therefore, Qi Yu also said with a pity on his face: "Oh, it is indeed a pity that Brother Ha missed out on a huge fortune!"
"Not necessarily!" Harry shook his head and analyzed: "According to my estimation, this huge wealth will never disappear out of thin air. If it is not hidden in these two places, it must be hidden somewhere else. So..."
"So what?"
"So, I would like to apply to you to allow me and the believers to stay here for a long time in order to search for those lost treasures."
"Well……"
Qi Yu is now the prefect of the entire Qiongzhou, and his consent must be obtained before gathering people to stay in any form.
If he just wants to be stationed here, there is nothing wrong with him. However, the food in his hands will become less and less. Who will feed them when there is no food later?
Let yourself provide food to support these foreign Japanese pirates?
Humph, I, Qi Dalang, don’t have such a Bodhisattva-like heart.
There are no doors!
Seeing Qi Yu's hesitation, Harry felt quite uneasy and hurriedly smiled and said: "Well, Mr. Qi, I won't occupy your place for nothing. I am willing to give you half of the food for free in exchange for this.
how?"
Bribing me with food?
Why isn't this possible?
Qi Yu nodded in a reasonable manner and said: "Since Brother Ha has said this, how can Qi be unreasonable? It doesn't matter, as long as you can restrain your subordinates and not cause trouble to the place,
You can stay here as long as you want." However, he changed his tone and said worriedly: "However, even though you have a lot of food, there will always be a day when you run out of food. How will these five thousand people survive by then?
"
Yes, this is the core.
Once there is no food, these beasts can do anything!
Harry waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and said: "The remaining half of the food is enough for me to consume for four or five months. During such a long period of time, I can let the believers clear wasteland and cultivate land for subsequent supplies. If
If the food is still not enough, wouldn’t there be wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy the hunger?”
"Eat wild vegetables?"
"There's no problem with wild vegetables! They're pig-like things. If you eat some of them, it's good. What right do you have to be picky about food? Who dares to complain at all, I will kill him for God!"
What? God likes people?
All right.
Afterwards, the two discussed specific matters and finally reached a consensus.
Qi Dalang accepted Harry's gift with a look of loss, but the latter was so moved that he kept saying 'Thank you' one after another.
Both parties were happy and had no objections to each other.
For Qi Yu, Harry came all the way to actively help him put down the rebellion, and now he even gave him some food as a gift. He was simply more kind-hearted than the living Bodhisattva.
For Harry, this trip was a huge harvest. Not only did he get much-needed food, but he also picked up this ready-made foothold for nothing. It was a rare piece of shit luck.
"Happy cooperation, do it!"
"Fuck!"
…
Early the next morning, Qi Yu ordered the three armies to set off immediately, preparing to return and formally bid farewell to his old friend Harry.
"Master Qi, if I really find a treasure, I will definitely share half of it with you."
"Thank you, Master Ha..."
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged friendly greetings for a while, then said goodbye with each other holding fists.
On this trip, all the soldiers returned successfully, but one person was left behind.
who?
Bodyguard Huang Fei!
Just after Harry fell asleep drunk last night, Mr. Qi called Huang Fei to a dark place and conducted a private lobbying.
"With such a large group of aliens entrenched here, I feel really uneasy!" Qi Yu said worriedly.
Yes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?
Nothing wrong.
Although Huang Fei did not understand political considerations, he also understood that the times were favorable and adverse, so he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, so what should we do?"
"It's not difficult!" Qi Yu smiled faintly, patted his shoulder and said, "I want to keep you here to monitor them. If there is anything unusual here, you can send me a message immediately."
This kind of thing is not too difficult for Huang Fei, and it is his strength. Aren't the inner guards the ones who do this kind of work?
Apart from him, I really can't find anyone more suitable at this time.
Unexpectedly, he refused: "Master Qi, my duty is to protect you. If I stay here, wouldn't it be dereliction of duty with His Majesty?"
"Absolutely not! If I don't tell you, how will Your Majesty know?" Then Qi Yu took out the gun again and smiled at him: "Now I have a secret weapon, so I can protect myself safely.
Don't worry, just stay here. As long as this place is completely stable, you can come back to me."
Huang Fei had seen the power of firearms with his own eyes and was convinced by this statement.
Even so, Qi Yu still persuaded Huang Fei for a long time before he finally convinced Huang Fei and allowed him to stay with peace of mind.
…
The sun rises and sets, and the warmth of spring is getting stronger.
Qi Yu's bandit-suppressing army slowly returned north along the old and disrepaired official road. It took a long time and could not get up quickly.
It is now March in Yangchun, and the land of Qiongzhou has entered the busy farming season, and farming matters will begin one after another.
In areas with poor water conservancy conditions, people often choose to grow beans, while in areas with relatively good water conservancy conditions, they basically grow the staple food, often called rice.
It is now the season for soybeans, and it is also the time for rice seedlings. After entering April, transplanting can be carried out.
It's great that we finally got rid of that banquet before the busy spring season and restored peace to the land of Qiongzhou. Otherwise, the spring plowing would not have been carried out smoothly.
For a prefect like Qi Yu, there are official duties to do during the spring plowing period.
For example, symbolic activities such as worshiping the city god, encouraging farmers to grow mulberry trees, developing water conservancy projects, etc. can demonstrate the concern of local officials.
Qi Yu was just thinking about it when he suddenly saw a government servant galloping in front of him, claiming that he had something urgent to report and asked to see the magistrate.
The yamen servant was a young man, and he panted and said, "Master Qi, something bad is going to happen!"
"Huh? Say it quickly!"
"Yes... it was the Japanese pirates who robbed the medicinal material merchant ship outside Hai Da Fu Yuan."
"What? Robbing medicinal materials that can cure diseases and save lives?" Qi Yu was shocked when he heard this and felt like he was going to be angry.
