Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes
Chapter 44. Plum Blossom Pirates
In the next few days, Zhang He would go to various shops every day to exchange some copper coins, and occasionally sell one or two ginseng plants.
Under the condition that he poured water from the spiritual spring every day, the ginseng multiplied very quickly in the space, and he couldn't use so much, so it was most suitable to sell it for silver.
It is calculated to be higher than the income of growing sweet potatoes, but sweet potatoes are food, and no matter how many they are, they can be sold.
Ginseng is a medicinal material, and the demand is small because it is relatively rare and expensive. If there are too many plants, Dehua City will not be able to digest it, and it will not be easy to sell.
As for the five-leaf Peiyuancao, although the price is more expensive, he only intends to use it for himself and will not sell it.
After these few days of accumulation, he has now saved more than 500 taels of silver.
After searching for a long time in the bow and arrow shop, I finally bought 30 wooden bows and 1,000 arrows, which cost 400 taels of silver in total.
He only bought ordinary bows, some of which cost dozens of taels of silver.
With the remaining 100 taels of silver, Zhang He picked out a hundred-steel-smelting knife in a sword shop.
The knife he got from the Hall Master before was hacked into a bad shape during the battle with the eldest son, and it has long been unusable.
This time I spent all my money again, but there are still some copper coins in the space that have not been exchanged, and some dried sweet potatoes that have not been sold yet.
Zhang He found Su Fa and sold him all the 3,000 catties of dried sweet potatoes stored in the space, earning another 60 taels of silver.
He didn't plan to keep the 60 taels of silver. In this kind of disaster year, only food is the most precious.
The price of grain in Dehua City has long been rising, almost every few days. Residents in the city are stockpiling grain at home.
Zhang He also went to a few rice shops to buy grain, and he squeezed a whole day to buy more than ten catties of corn. It seemed that the road was blocked, so he had a rest tonight and went home tomorrow.
At this time, I was sitting in a restaurant drinking in a bad mood. The wine here was as light as water, and it cost twenty cents a pot.
He really wanted to ask the shopkeeper, did he forget to add wine to the water?
However, he saw that the men sitting next to him were drinking with gusto and foaming while bragging, so he still held back.
The grain of the Great Zhou Dynasty was precious, and the wine made from grain was naturally a luxury, and it was rare for ordinary people to drink it once.
Good wine!
A man took a sip and couldn't help but praise it loudly.
Have you heard? That plum blossom thief committed another crime the night before yesterday.
Ah! Is this the fifth incident this month?
Isn't that right? This Plum Blossom Pirate came out of nowhere and would steal it every few days.
I don't know who this Plum Blossom Bandit is. The tactics are really good. The City Lord's Mansion sent several patrolling soldiers, but they failed to catch him.
Fortunately, this Plum Blossom Bandit only steals from the richest people in the city, and never targets ordinary people.
Nonsense, as far as your family's accumulation is concerned, the Plum Blossom Pirates don't think much of it.
I heard……
Zhang He listened to the high-spirited talk of several men, but he didn't expect that there would be grand thieves in this world.
However, the so-called grand thieves are nothing more than filling their own pockets in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Stealing from the poor is inherently useless, so it's better to steal from the rich, and get a good reputation by the way.
Zhang He ate something casually and left the restaurant. It was already dark outside, and there were few pedestrians on the street.
When he walked to an alley, a gust of wind blew by, and a figure flashed in front of him, and he rushed through the wall into a nearby courtyard.
It wouldn't be such a coincidence to meet a thief, would it?
Zhang He sighed inwardly, remembering that he heard the legend about the Plum Blossom Pirates in the restaurant just now, so he quietly followed, wanting to see what happened.
He then climbed over the wall and found that it was a large house with pavilions, pavilions, rockery, flowers and so on.
It is much more luxurious than his Zhangjiazhuang.
It was just getting dark at this time, and many houses in the courtyard were still lit, and occasionally there were maids and servants walking around.
I don't know if this thief is a daring person with high skills, but he started to work at this point, very diligent.
When Zhang He came in, he couldn't find the shadow of the thief, so he could only sneak quietly among the shadows.
The level of Chasing the Wind and Shadowless Step he has practiced has already surpassed that of the young man in white. His figure is elegant and silent, and he is not worried about being discovered.
He walked around the house, but he didn't find any trace of the figure just now, but he found the family's granary.
Looking at the full granary, it is really my family has a full granary, so let the poor be hungry.
Storing so much grain is just waiting for the price to rise before selling it, hoping to profit from it.
Zhang He felt that since he had bumped into each other, he had to teach these rich and unkind people a lesson.
Immediately sneaked into the granary and put all the bags of grain into the space.
However, he still has a bit of conscience, and left a part for the other party, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink until next year, and it is impossible to profit from it.
After doing all this, he thought for a while, since the Plum Blossom Bandit likes to rob the rich, he should help him spread his reputation.
Immediately, he carved a plum blossom pattern in the warehouse with a knife.
The reason why the Plum Blossom Pirate has such a title is because every time he commits a crime, he will draw a plum blossom on the spot.
Zhang He was indifferent to fame and wealth all his life, and he didn't like false fame, so it would be good to just give this fame to Plum Blossom Pirates.
After stealing the food from the family, Zhang He quietly sneaked out of the compound without disturbing anyone, and he did not see the shadow of the previous person again.
After Zhang He stole this family, he was a little bit unfulfilled, anyway, he will go back tomorrow, it is still early in the morning, so it is better to do the good thing to the end.
Then he got out of control and stole eight rich households one after another.
When he went to every house, he found the granary directly and moved most of them.
It's not that he doesn't like money, but that the granary has a large object and is very easy to find, while money is not so easy to find, and the guards are more strict, making it difficult to get it.
Similarly, every house he stole left a plum blossom logo. It is estimated that after tonight, the plum blossom thief will become famous and become a famous figure in Dehua City.
At this time, taking advantage of the early weather, Zhang He was rushing to work and preparing to do the last business.
When sneaking all the way to the eaves of a house, he heard someone talking inside. He felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
My son, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Take advantage of these few months, you have to make full preparations, and you must not make mistakes.
Father, our elder sister was favored by General Gu Liang, and helped our family to acquire so many fortunes.
Why do you still care so much about Heishui Town, which is dozens of miles away?
Hearing this, Zhang He's heart trembled. He didn't expect it to be related to his Black Water Town.
And when he mentioned General Gu Liang, he already remembered who the owner of the voice was, it was the shopkeeper Bao, the owner of Bao's Cloth Village in the east of the city.
Oh! Our family has a shallow foundation and a weak foundation. It is all because of your sister's favor with General Gu Liang that we can get all this wealth.
But have you ever thought about what to do if suddenly one day your sister is not favored?
There are so many dignitaries in the city, can we still keep this family business?
Only Heishui Town is relatively far away and unnoticed. If it is managed well, it will be the foundation of my Bao family's future inheritance.
Zhang He listened under the eaves. It seemed that his Black Water Town had definitely become the property of the father and son, and they were already discussing how to pass on the inheritance.
Fortunately, he thought that the smiling storekeeper should be a kind person.
The child has been educated. Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely control Heishui Town firmly in my hands.
Well, in fact, I don't have any worries about taking down Blackwater Town, when the time comes, General Gu Liang will personally lead troops to conquer Blackwater Town and kill him until his blood flows like a river.
You just follow behind and pick up a ready-made Blackwater Town.
Shopkeeper Bao is full of confidence in winning Heishui Town without any doubt.
Daddy, my son is unclear about something. Why don't we let my sister persuade General Guliang to destroy Heishui Town earlier? We can accept it sooner. The young voice was still a little puzzled.
You're still too young, it's useless to occupy it early, and now there are refugees everywhere, and Heishui Town is full of unscrupulous people, Wanjia has been in business for many years and can't keep it, let's go now to have good fruit to eat ?
Besides, the guards of Dehua City are more important now. General Gu Liang can't leave, we can't cause trouble for your sister.
When the displaced people disperse in the spring of next year, we will take over the spring plowing without any delay.
The father and son were discussing to seize Heishui Town, but they never expected that the Lord would listen to everything under the eaves.
Zhang He really wanted to rush in and kill the father and son right now, but after thinking about it, it's better not to startle the snake. Without the Bao family, there will definitely be other families watching over, so it's better to keep this knowledge.
After he emptied the Baojia warehouse, he set fire to it when he left.
The few houses he stole before would leave a line for others, but it is not necessary for the Bao family.
