Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass are enough for the 8 or [-] horses for more than a month and a half.

Tong Guan smiled and said:

"Master Cao is really generous. Not only has he solved the problem of food shortages, but he doesn't even need to requisition ships."

"Use these grain ships to cross the Huai River."

At this time, the middle-aged man dressed outside the staff stepped forward and said:

"Marshal Mu, Tong Jianjun, the villain is in charge of delivering food this time."

"This is the list of grain and grass, and I need you to sign for it."

Mu Guiying nodded and said:

"I have troubled you both this time..."

The member outside quickly shook his head and said:

"Don't dare, Marshal Mu is too polite. The villain is not an official, but a merchant."

Mu Guiying froze for a moment, then looked at Yang Sanniang in confusion, why would Cao Bin send a businessman to deliver military supplies?

The third mother of the Yang family smiled and said:

"This is the idea that Cao Bin came up with, and he made some kind of bidding."

"He borrowed these supplies from Zhang Yuanwai..."

Mu Guiying was a little confused, but she didn't study it carefully, and instead looked at the list in her hand.

I saw that it said:

[-] shi of rice, [-] shi of salted fish, [-] shi of cured meat, [-] heads of live sheep, [-] heads of barrows...a total of [-] shi.

Not only Mu Guiying, but even Tong Guan was shocked.

This is both fish and meat. Are you sure this is military rations?The landlord Lao Cai also dare not eat like this?

Seeing the two people stunned, the member hurriedly said cautiously:

"The military ration package provided by the villain is enough to feed 5 people for a month."

"If you are satisfied, give the villain a five-star praise..."

Mu Guiying couldn't be more satisfied with the rations, but what happened to the good reviews?

He actually only counts so much military rations for one month, so extravagant...

But these are not important, of course she would praise such an army ration, she was about to write, but suddenly she saw Yang Sanniang shaking her head slightly.

Mu Guiying didn't understand what he meant, so she stopped talking and said:

"This member, please take a break. I will talk about the good things after discussing."

Although the member was a little anxious, he dared not disobey Mu Guiying's arrangement.

When the third mother of the Yang family returned to the army tent with everyone, she said:

"Guiying, don't be fooled by this person, you can't give him full marks."

Tong Guan immediately blushed, slapped the table and said angrily:

"Don't go too far, why can't you give full...yes, full marks?"

"If you want to take advantage of Cao Houye, our family will never agree!"

The third mother of the Yang family rolled her eyes and said speechlessly:

"Tong Jianjun, don't open your mouth if you don't understand. Who said you're going to pick on Cao Bin?"

"This is the way he came up with to let those merchants fight among themselves."

"Do you think he gave this kind of high-quality military rations for nothing?"

"He was thinking about the other benefits that Cao Bin offered, like a gold member...Although I don't understand it, the benefits must be huge."

Yang Sanniang took a sip of tea and continued:

"For this logistics supply, Cao Bin recruited many merchants to compete."

"As far as the Huaihe River goes, along the banks of the Yangtze River, wherever there is water, you can get a lot of supplies."

"Even in the deep mountains, they will fully cooperate with us to advance."

"So Gui Ying doesn't need to give him five-star praise, and if you give him less, wouldn't it make him more attentive?"

Her somewhat vicious speech caused everyone to look at each other for a long time, but Mu Guiying's focus was not here, she sighed a little:

"I know that Cao Bin never treats his colleagues badly, but I didn't expect such preferential treatment."

"If that's the case, we won't be able to win all. Not to mention the court, I'm sorry for Cao Bin's change of heart."

According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, generals are separated from grain and grass.

It is not that the food and grass completely obey the orders of the general, but that the general requests the distribution of food.

In this way, the orders for soldiers and food are inconsistent, and there are often situations where the distribution is not in place.

Taizong's second Northern Expedition was for this reason, and the logistics were out of touch, which led to a big defeat.

Obviously the supplies are sufficient, but no one can help if they cannot be transported to the front line in time.

It can be said that Cao Bin's powerful logistical support has never been seen before. If he can't win the battle under such conditions, I'm really sorry for his plan...

Just thinking of the imminent situation in the court, Mu Guiying couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although Cao Bin went to Jiangdong, it is unlikely to escape the court struggle.

I just hope he doesn't make the wrong choice.

It would be too heartbreaking for such a caring and outstanding person to fall because of court disputes...

"Sanniang, I'm very satisfied with the supply of military rations this time, so it's not a big deal to give him a five-star review."

Seeing Sanniang's mysterious look, Mu Guiying thought there was something hidden, but she didn't expect that she was just planning to trick her, so she waved her hand directly in response.

The third mother of the Yang family frowned and said:

"But this is Cao Bin's request, and the evaluation is only used within their chamber of commerce, and has nothing to do with the court."

"There are a lot of merchants who provide logistics this time, and he needs to allocate quotas in a legitimate manner based on our evaluation."

"Guiying is giving a perfect score right now, if there is a better one, how should I evaluate it?"

"Moreover, Cao Bin pays a fixed amount of money for each line of military rations. Even if he loses money, he won't be able to lose it to him."

"Cao Bin said it all, don't make us look ignorant."

"What he needs is competition and obedience. The more demanding you are, the happier he is."

Hearing this kind of words, everyone was a little speechless.

Good guy, if those merchants hear this, I don't know if they will want to hang Cao Bin on the street lamp as a pendant. This is even more treacherous than those profiteers!

Mu Guiying pursed her vermilion lips and said speechlessly:

"If there is a better one, please specify it."

"The commander-in-chief has always been very clear about rewards and punishments, and he can never wrong his conscience and deliberately make things difficult..."

Seeing that Mu Guiying had made up her mind, Sanniang didn't say any more and didn't care.

However, after she heard that Cao Bin was going to do big business, she thought of quietly borrowing money from her natal family to participate in a small stock. Although Cao Bin disliked it for a long time, she finally managed to make an appointment to get in the car.

Thinking that she will become a clean stream in Tianbo Mansion, and never worry about money again, she is very happy, let those sisters-in-law and younger siblings envy her......

In addition to food and grass, a lot of armor and military equipment were also shipped this time, which is not something that merchants can intervene.

With sufficient and convenient logistics supplies, Mu Guiying marched extremely fast.

After crossing the river, she first flooded the main force of the bandit army in Shouchun as a way to lure the enemy, and then completely ignored the surrounding counties, and went straight to the bandit capital.

Encountering the city and breaking the city along the way, taking a boat when encountering water, the momentum is like breaking a bamboo. It only took less than a month to surround the city of Yun'an, the capital of thieves.

On the day the camp was set up, Mu Guiying heard that the bandits were coming out of the city to challenge them, so she immediately drove out without moving his shadow.

Until this time, since Mu Guiying was forced to go out to fight, the "anger" that had been suppressed has subsided a little.

In the next few days, huge crossbows and cannons lined up outside Yun'an City, without any scruples about wasting them.

Wang Qing only stood guard for seven days, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't care about the soldiers and civilians in the city, and he led his cronies to break through at night and ran all the way.

"Your Majesty, where are we going now? We still have three military states intact, and the terrain is dangerous, so we can stick to it."

Hearing the question from his subordinates, Wang Qing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said:

"No more, let's go to Hebei to seek refuge with a friend named Tian."

"Damn, that woman is too fierce, and she can't even guard her."

"I heard that the lives of the people in Hebei are even worse, and they are supported by the Liao Kingdom. Let's start all over again..."

As he said that, he hit the horse and ran to the north in a hurry.

His addiction to the emperor had only passed two months before he was declared broken.

Mu Guiying also did not expect that Wang Qing would be so decisive that he would leave "half of the country" behind and run away, so that he lay in ambush for loneliness.

The fifth lady of the Yang family said, "Guiying, I'll go after her."

Mu Guiying nodded and said:

"The thieves have already lost their temper, let's forget if they can't catch up, and notify the court to issue a sea arrest document, and arrest them all over the country..."

Just as Mu Guiying was appeasing the people and planning to recover the rest of the counties, the food, grass and equipment compensated by the imperial court finally arrived.

At the same time, several low-level officials from the armory were brought before Mu Guiying.

Yang Sanniang complained speechlessly:

"This is Mr. Kou's confession and compensation? It was said to be delivered within half a month, but it was more than a month late."

"It's only doubled the food and grass. If we count on this, we will starve to death..."

Mu Guiying secretly smirked in her heart, with the luxurious military supplies provided by Cao Bin, it is really difficult to see this thing in front of her...

It was already October and a half when Mu Guiying broke the thieves, and Jiangnan had already reached the harvest season at the end of September.

Cao Bin did not regard supply logistics as a major event at all.

He judges others by himself, and he always likes to drive others away with profit.

He first announced the membership grading system of the chamber of commerce, and then released the news that a super-large sea trade caravan will be formed next year to discuss cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in the official name, and those merchants and gentry took the initiative to lend food and grass.

Because these contributions to the government become points, which are used as the rating standard for members of the chamber of commerce.

The higher the membership level, the more official care they receive and the better the treatment.

In the end, he asked merchants to bid at a fixed price. Whoever offered the most affordable military rations and the best service would get more points...

He had intended to formulate rules for the chamber of commerce, so he just took this opportunity to test it out, and if there were any deficiencies, he could improve it.

As for loopholes, if Mu Guiying was cheated, it would not be in his consideration.

Anyway, Huaixi was so close to Jiangnan, at worst, he sent troops to rescue it himself, and maybe he could get some military exploits and a life-saving favor.

No matter how you think about it...

After ordering "Swallow" to pay close attention to the Huaixi battlefield, Cao Bin started a new life of earning points.

Since he was free in September, he has boiled hawks, raised dogs, fought in disguise, and "robbed" women... he almost died of exhaustion.

Although this is considered a good job, and you can earn 200 or 300 points every day, it is too hard.

He deeply felt that he was not a material for "working hard".

In the early morning of this day, Cao Bin was sleeping soundly, Li Shishi stretched out the arm of bullying Saixue and pushed him:

"Cao Lang, didn't you say you're going to learn blacksmithing today?"

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"I'm not going, I'm lying flat, I love you as much as you like."

Although Li Shishi was puzzled, he covered his mouth and smiled:
