after being kidnapped by the general

Yuan Congyun and Yang Zhongfa thought that on the way to the northern border, they would only carry less and less food, and it would be considered good if [-]% of the food was finally transported to the battlefield.But none of them thought that along the way, the food has not decreased, but has become more and more.

Along the way, according to Liu Jixin's method, every time they reached a city, they took the lead in finding the local clan tycoons, and exchanged food with them half-forced and half-begged.

That's not all, their general wanted to exchange Mr. Yuan's batch of antique paintings and calligraphy for food, but Mr. Yuan stopped him.Mr. Yuan didn't know where to take out a set of soap. This thing is white and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance. As soon as he took it out, many clan tyrants were curious.

But Yuan Gongzi only sells one or two sets every time he goes to a place. There are four kinds of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums in one set, and the carvings are lifelike, exquisite and luxurious.This set was only about the size of a palm, but it was sold at a price that shocked Yang Zhongfa and the others.

Especially the more powerful the local clan, the more eye-popping prices these two sets of soap can sell.

Soap is a rare thing, and it was brought out of Luoyang.These tyrants originally wanted to spend money to buy it only for the face of the army, so as not to cause trouble, but after seeing the finished product of the soap, they all felt novelty and liked it.

In particular, Yuanli sells very little.

The clan tycoons are rich, so rich that they can spend tens of thousands of dollars on a meal, and they will complain that they have nowhere to put their chopsticks.If you have money, you can go to the toilet, and there are ten maidservants waiting on the side, and the exquisite jade carvings are thrown and played at will.

Among the powerful clans, showing off their financial resources has become the norm.Every time Yuanli went to a place, he would ask Zhao Ying and Liu Jixin to inquire about the power relations of the local tycoons, and then carry out hunger marketing based on this information.

Whoever has enmity with whomever, then only choose one of the two tyrants to sell.Whoever is related by marriage will pass on the value of opening soap through one family.

Yuanli is working hard to make soap a new tool for showing off wealth among clan tycoons.

The final result was very good, and Yuanli made millions of times more money than the cost of soap.

Of course, he didn't ask for money, but exchanged all the money for food, cloth, medicinal materials, wine and war horses that could be stored for a long time.

Among them, only wine is not a necessity in troubled times, but it is definitely a luxury in troubled times.

Such a high-end luxury product will play a wonderful role at a specific time.

Yuanli did not exchange livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, because it was still some distance away from Youzhou.Once the pigs, cattle and sheep get sick and are infected with the plague on the road, even the horses will be implicated, and the loss will only be serious.

Among these things exchanged, the number of horses that can be exchanged is the least. The clan tycoons all have their own private armed forces, and they also lack horses, knowing that horses are important strategic materials.But apart from horses, other things can be exchanged easily.

That's why the more they went, the more food they consumed instead of less.

Yang Zhongfa and his group admired Yuanli so much that they were used to using the term "God of Wealth" to refer to Yuanli in private.

They were also very curious about the soap in Yuanli's hands. Seeing that the soap was loved by the powerful clansmen, they felt itchy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask for extravagance.However, Yuanli seemed to know what they were thinking. After getting enough military pay, he gave everyone a set of soap the night before leaving the city.

Naturally, due to the limited number, only a few generals and those close to Yuanli have them.

The people who got the soap were at a loss, "Mr. Yuan, how did this happen?"

"It's okay, it's not such a valuable thing," Yuan Li said with a smile, "If you run out, I still have some."

Yang Zhongfa and Han Jin looked at each other, and Han Jin couldn't help asking: "Young Master Yuan, since there are still so many soaps, why don't you take them out and sell them all to those powerful clans?"

Thinking of the price at which the soap in his hand could be sold, Han Jin became so nervous that his hands and feet stiffened.

As soon as the words came out, other people also paid close attention to Yuanli, yes, why didn't they sell it?It is much more meaningful to sell so much money than to use it for them.

Guo Lin's three servants carefully held the soap and handed it to Yuan Li, saying, "My lord, we are not willing to use it if you give it to us, so let's sell ours to them and exchange it for silver taels."

"You can use it if I give it to you," Yuan Li couldn't laugh or cry, "Even if I still have a lot of soap, I can't sell it to them."

Yuan Congyun asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Yuan Li patiently said: "Things are rare and expensive."

Liu Jixin suddenly realized, and couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful!"

Seeing the extremely painful appearance of the others, Yuan Li twitched the corners of his mouth, and urged implicitly, "We will leave the city tomorrow, we must speed up our march, and we will not stay in the town until we reach Youzhou. Taking advantage of today's If you have time in the evening, everyone will use this soap and see how it works."

The further north you go, the hotter it gets.These elders are dusty and sweaty every day, and when they get together every day, their faces turn blue from the smelly Yuanli.

But the generals didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. When they heard this, and then looked at the delicate and fragrant soap in their hands, their hearts immediately moved.That night, they closed the courtyard door, two or three people carried a big wooden bucket, rubbed mud in the courtyard and took a bath under the moonlight.

Yuan Li also walked over with a basin of warm water and soap.

Get closer and hear these people talking and laughing.

"General, this soap really has a fragrance!" Yang Zhongfa took a sip from the soap, unable to put it down, "How did Mr. Yuan do it?"

Yuan Congyun scooped up cold water and poured it on his body, admonishing him, "Why do you care what Mr. Yuan did? It would be nice if it could be used for you!"

"Aren't I curious?" Yang Zhongfa smacked his lips, glanced at Chu Hechao again, and suddenly said sourly, "We have eaten so many delicious food with Mr. Yuan, and everyone has gained a lot of weight. Don't you see a little more meat, General Du?"

Han Jin winked and said: "Those little ladies like our general."

Liu Jixin was also taking a bath among them. He carefully stroked the delicate texture of the soap. Hearing this, he glanced at Chu Hechao, clicked his tongue in his heart, and couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid the little lady will be frightened when she sees the general! "

Several people laughed together knowingly, Chu Hechao also curled up his lips, and said lazily: "Then you and your wife's bridal chamber, wouldn't you make her laugh?"

Liu Jixin said with a dark face: "General, what you said is killing people."

The rest laughed loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yuan Li couldn't help laughing behind them.

A few people turned their heads and saw that it was Yuan Li, who also showed a smile, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Yuan is also here to wash?"

During the past few months of getting along day and night, they had already figured out Yuanli's temperament, and they became more and more intimate and convinced of Yuanli, and they also had the intimacy of treating Yuanli as one of their own when doing things and talking.Yuan Li smiled and nodded at them, walked to Chu Hechao and put down the wooden basin.

Chu Hechao glanced at him, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there, and he continued to tease jokingly, "Sister-in-law, it's not good to take off your clothes and take a bath in front of your brother?"

Yuanli rolled his eyes under the cover of night.Although Chu Hechao was cold and harsh, he had been in the military camp since he was a child, and he never lost his ruffian nature. When he said he was a jerk, he was really a jerk.

See, he can even say such a bastard.

But it's not that Yuanli has never been in the military camp before. To him, this level of dirty talk is as dry as chewing bean sprouts.

"General, it's not good to be naked in front of your sister-in-law, right?"

He replied with the same tone, and glanced at Chu Hechao from the corner of his eye.

Chu Hechao has a good figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, lean and tall, with beautiful muscles bulging tightly and plumply, but what is more eye-catching are the large and small scars on this pure male body.

Most of the scars are knife wounds and arrow wounds, which have all healed up.The scars spread all over the chest, waist, abdomen, back, and thighs, whether deep or shallow, all of which were medals left by Chu Hechao for killing enemies on the battlefield, with a sharp and hideous beauty.

Yuan Li also saw a fatal wound on Chu Hechao.

It was close to the chest, enough to imagine how dangerous this arrow wound was, presumably this arrow wound was the one that nearly killed Chu Hechao on the battlefield.

Yuan Li suddenly felt something, he thought in his heart.

Chu Hechao was indeed a hero.

Chu Hechao was blocked by these words. He squinted his eyes, quickly washed off the foam on his body with cold water, picked up his robe and waved his hand, and he put on the clothes.Chu Hechao put on his belt loosely, and said to Yuanli with a half-smile, "I'm wearing it now."

Yuanli: "..."

He chose to take back his last sentence.

Yang Zhongfa and the others were holding back their laughter, their faces blushing and their necks thick. They were afraid of making the general angry when they laughed, so they hurriedly speeded up, put on their clothes and ran away after washing.

Chu Hechao was still waiting for Yuan Li's reply, and Yuan Li deliberately ignored him.He lowered his head to wash his hair, and used Chu Hechao as a tool, "General, help me hold my hair."

Chu Hechao stepped forward to help him lift the end of his hair. Yuan Li was soaping his hair, and the faint scent of flowers filled the courtyard with the water vapor.

Chu Hechao was thoughtful, "Can this thing also wash your hair?"

"Naturally," Yuan Li said as a matter of course. In his previous life, he always took a bath with a soap to solve everything. "A piece of soap can be used for a long time. Does the general think there is a market for soap in Youzhou?"

"Yes," Chu Hechao said concisely, "Is this difficult to make?"

Yuan Li said slowly: "It is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say it is not difficult. But I brought the artisans who have made soap, as long as I give them enough things, it will be much easier to make it than the first time. "

Chu Hechao said, "What is it?"

Yuan Li raised his eyebrows suddenly, and turned his head to look at Chu Hechao. The water vapor made his eyebrows and eyes wet. Yuan Li's mouth curled up, and he teased, "General, are you trying to trick me?"

Chu Hechao stopped talking.

Yuan Li lowered his head and washed his hair, "The general and I are a family, so naturally you should trust me more. If you test me like this again, I will be angry sooner or later."

Chu Hechao pulled his lips, "Really?"

Obviously not paying attention.

Yuan Li lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and washed the dirt off his hair.

He felt that he should find an opportunity to get angry with Chu Hechao. The journey was too peaceful, and he was afraid that Chu Hechao had already forgotten every detail of his time in Luoyang.

Since we want to establish prestige in front of Chu Hechao, it is natural to let Chu Hechao know what the consequences will be if Yuanli gets angry. Only by leaving a deep enough impression on Chu Hechao, can Chu Hechao remember it in his bones, and then he will know. Don't provoke Yuanli to be angry, know what fear is.

Yuan Li said meaningfully: "When you arrive in Youzhou, you will know what it is."
