Changxian's eyes were red and he stood obediently behind Chu Qing.
This is why Changxian likes to follow Chu Qing's butt, and always has some insights.
Even before coming to Jinge Town, everyone knew that Xue Kui was greedy for merit.
Except for Xiao Yi and Fu San, everyone thought that they would just kill this guy when they arrived, take over Jinge Town, and coordinate the dispatch of grain and grass.
But Chu Qing remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
On the contrary, after meeting Xue Kui, he always said that he would kill this guy, but in fact, he just said that and did not take action immediately.
This is what Changxian learned. Not everyone will take off their clothes and let you see their scars and honors, and not everyone will reveal their true feelings to you for no reason.
Living in this world, living on the border, the words "difficulties" are not difficult to write, but difficult to describe.
This world is so strange. People who have no difficulties always talk about their difficulties.
People who have difficulties never speak out and silently bear the incomprehension of the world.
Xue Kui, greed for merit is true.
It is also true that Xue Kui killed enemies for his country.
Coveting merit is not tolerated by the law and should be punished.
But Xue Kui was greedy for merit, and Chu Qing's attitude showed everything.
Without greed for merit, how can Xue Kui live, how can his wife and children live?
Chu Qing understood that Xue Kui had changed to the Eighth Camp, to other Zhechong Mansion, to any big camp that provided adequate food and salary. This man with six scars on his body and one missing toe would definitely not be greedy for merit.
What Chu Qing didn't know was that the first time Xue Kui was greedy for merit and the head of the Liang thief he was greedy for was the head of his comrade who died in battle, and the boy that Xue Kui was raising now was regarded as his own.
He is also the heir of his comrade who died in the battle.
There are many things that cannot be explained clearly. We have little education and do not understand the teachings of sages. We just know that we have to live a difficult life, play a little bit, be benevolent and righteous, and try to take good care of our family. This is enough.
No one in the army is afraid of death.
When they go into battle to kill the enemy, their duty is to eat this bowl of rice. They can scold their mother, the court, and even the emperor because they killed the enemy and because the monarch and his ministers have lost their food and wages, so they dare to scold because the court owes them.
.
When one day they no longer dare to scold them, it is because they feel that the court no longer owes them, because they did not kill the enemy properly, have retreated, become timid, and are not true frontier soldiers, then they will no longer dare to scold them.
It is right to scold, but it is wrong to not scold.
"Tomorrow, Tongcheng." Chu Qing helped Xue Kui, whose face was full of wind and tears, "I want to prove, prove something, prove something to you. I won't say whether the rules should be changed or not. At least, I have to change them.
Sixty percent of the food and fodder is coming."
Xue Kui smiled, his face was dirty, but this smile came from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't believe that Chu Qing could come for 60%, but he was still happy.
Big men like to speak eloquently, blowing their bullshit to the sky, and beating their chests loudly. This is a common problem among big men.
But Chu Qing was different from other big shots he had met.
Because other big shots never give in. They will brag about whatever they say for the first time and set very high standards.
Chu Qing also boasted that he wanted to change the rules, but he gave in and lowered the standards. He started with food and grass. This was the first time Xue Kui had seen such a concession.
In the courtyard, the friends gathered again, but a new member joined, Xue Kui.
"I don't want to listen to the top, middle and bottom strategies. I only listen to solutions, and I want to come up with the solution of 60% food and grass."
Chu Qing's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Xue Kui: "You are a local snake, teach me how to get 60% of the food and grass."
"I don't know what will happen next."
Xue Kui lowered his head again, blushing a little.
Yesterday, Chu Qing asked why he wanted 60% of the food and grass. He also said he didn't know, but he didn't blush.
Today, he blushed because yesterday, he could not see respect. Today, he saw respect, the respect Chu Qing had for him.
"I dare to ask, sir." It was Tao Weiran who still spoke: "Chinese or martial arts?"
Chu Qing's smile grew stronger, and he knew that the fat man Tao Weiran had no good intentions.
"I am taking a high-end route now, so let's talk about literature first."
"Wen." Tao Weiran smiled slightly: "Liar."
"cheat?"
"Pretending to be a merchant from Guanzhong or a merchant from Beijing, he collected grain at a high price and collected the remaining 30% of the grain."
"You are a liar, no, I like you very much as a writer." Chu Qing became interested: "Continue talking."
"General Xue first wants 30% of the grain. We will meet the enemy's family and buy the rest at a high price. We will give the money, get the grain, kill people, and take back the banknotes."
Chu Qing didn't quite understand: "How to kill, how to seize?"
"Kill as you want, seize as you want, seize as you please, explore the horse to kill, explore the horse to seize, Jin Ge breaks the soldiers of the mansion and transports the grain and grass back."
"No!" Xue Kui said subconsciously: "If the army goes to transport food, wouldn't it be known to the enemy?"
"Yes." Tao Weiran smiled sinisterly: "It is just to let the enemies know that it is the food of the army and the people killed by Mr. Chu. The enemies dare not say anything."
Xue Kui's expression moved slightly, and he understood the underlying message.
The grain sold by the enemy is official grain and cannot be brought to light. Even if he files a complaint, how can he say that he was robbed for reselling official grain?
Tao Weiran continued: "This business can only be done once, so if you do it, it is better to do it once. The enemy will buy as much food as the enemy has, sir."
Xue Kui still shook his head: "But in the future, no matter how much food and grass is available, the enemies will still make things difficult for the border troops."
Chu Qing smiled and said: "In the short term, no more grain and grass will be delivered to the border. And when the next grain and grass is delivered, I assure you that Tongcheng is no longer decided by the enemy."
Xue Kui's expression changed again and again, and he always felt uneasy in his heart. He raised his hands to Tao Weiran and said, "I dare to ask this sir, if the literary ones want to kill people, what about the martial arts ones?"
"General Xue, don't call me sir. I am just a small county magistrate. I am still a county magistrate who has resigned. Don't be so polite. Just call me Brother Tao."
Xue Kui glanced at Fatty Tao, who was at least one round younger than him, and said nothing.
"Go up the mountain, pretend to be a bandit, and rob food."
As soon as Tao Weiran opened his mouth, Xue Kui laughed: "Pretend to be a bandit and rob food?"
"That's right, my lords don't kneel down to ask for food." Tao Weiran pointed at Tong Gui's long knife: "With this, you don't have to kneel down."
"Having said that, if Tongcheng lets Zhe Chong Mansion suppress the bandits, there is no need to kneel, but it can only be done in the mountains. In the mountains, there is no need to kneel."
"It's really troublesome."
Chu Qing pulled out the waist knife from behind Fu San and slapped it on the table: "Damn it, if you don't kneel down, can you get some food?"
Xue Kui nodded: "Yes, I have to go to the mountains."
Chu Qing opened the bag and took out the official seal: "By the way, can I get some food?"
"Yes, you have to kneel down."
Chu Qing placed Qianji next to the official seal: "Can these two together ask for food?"
Xue Kui was confused and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, I have to go kneel in the mountains."
