I sold snacks in ancient times

"My lord, my son-in-law... why are you here?"

Qi Yongfan got off his horse, glanced at Yin Xu beside him, and said with a smile, "How? We're not welcome?"

"No, no..." Ye Zi hurriedly waved her hands, wanting to welcome them in.This winter is really cold, and even the south is snowing heavily.Nanshan Town is no exception. A thick layer of snow accumulated early.And just deep in the mountains, there is such an armory training factory hidden.

Yin Xu took off his gloves and put his hands into Qi Yongfan's pocket very naturally.He no longer wears women's clothes, and people on the left and right already know his identity.The two were wearing dark green cotton gowns of the same color and gray fox mink fur.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Didn't you write a letter a few days ago? Didn't you receive it?"

"Hmm...probably." Ye Zi explained: "A while ago, there was heavy snow on the mountain, and Shunfeng Express didn't come for several days."

"What about the food? Is it enough?" Qi Yongfan asked.

Ye Zi: "There are still quite a few left, but not too much. It is estimated that after the soldiers finish shoveling the snow, someone will come to deliver them..."

Qi Yongfan thought for a while, and said: "You send a team to carry food later, and we brought some over."

Ye Zi was a little surprised, and immediately said in surprise: "Thank you, Mr. Qi!"

Qi Yongfan and Yin Xu came here in an RV this time, and they just happened to be able to pack a few boxes of snacks and bring them down.They crossed the bridge behind Ye Zi, and saw the fence in the white dense forest from afar.

Qi Yongfan looked at Yin Xu and said, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​training soldiers here?"

The corners of Yin Xu's mouth turned up, but he didn't answer.He just scratched slightly with his fingertips in his palm.

Qi Yongfan thought that maybe since Yin Xu first came to Nanshan Town last year, he might have been planning all this.

Success is not without reason.Without a back road or deep scheming, wanting to fight for the throne is tantamount to nonsense.

This secret base covers a very large area, and strictly checks in and out of personnel.When the two led the horse to the door, Ye Zi took out a wooden sign from his arms and showed it to the guards, and then the fence gate slowly opened.

Along the way, Ye Zi pointed to the temporary houses and introduced: "That is the dining hall, the dormitory is on the right, and the training ground is there..."

All in all, everything looks in order.

Qi Yongfan and Yin Xu drove all night, and they didn't have time to eat breakfast.Ye Zi led them to the dining hall, and served a table of sumptuous food.

The dining hall is a shed with more than 20 sets of long tables and chairs.There is hot water on the side, and you can make instant noodles by yourself.There are also two windows where you can line up to receive meals during dinner.

At the moment the house is empty.

While carrying the bowl, Ye Zi said, "At this point they are all training outside, take your time, there is no rush."

A porcelain bowl was placed on the wooden table, containing two white flour steamed buns.It was steaming hot, just out of the pan, and it was still steaming.Ye Zi served two bowls of pumpkin sweet porridge, which was thick and thick, and it smelled like a light rice fragrance.With mustard and two plates of pickles, and a plate of fried sausages.

Qi Yongfan moved his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The food here is pretty good."

Ye Zi also smiled and said, "Thanks to your support, there is a famine outside, but we don't lack food here."

Ye Zi is Yin Xu's confidant, who single-handedly brought up this arsenal, and of course knows that the food was transported by Qi Yongfan by means.

Qi Yongfan ordered some food for Yin Xu and said, "Hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, let's go outside to watch the soldiers train."

Yin Xu nodded and buried himself in the porridge.

Ye Zi didn't stay idle and stayed with them all the time.After all, it was the leader's surprise inspection, and he wanted the soldiers to make a fool of themselves and show them their true skills.

Now there are about [-] soldiers in this base in total.After half a winter of crazy training, all of them are brave and good at fighting, with stomachs as big as cows and strong bodies.

These soldiers are different from the past.The army that Dayin sent out to attack Goryeo before was nothing more than a mob, relying on the number of people to send their lives to the front line.

But these soldiers are different.Almost all of them can fight five with one, wield swords and guns, and have been trained with iron blood, and their combat effectiveness is leveraged.

After breakfast, Qi Yongfan and Yin Xu went to visit the training ground together.It was clearly an open air of ice and snow, and the temperature was extremely low, but the morale of the troops was high. They ran around the playground, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted loudly.

Qi Yongfan didn't like watching this kind of performance very much, and wanted to leave within a few minutes.It was too cold outside.But he saw Yin Xu watching with great interest, and he found it interesting, so he stayed by the side.

"What do you think?" Yin Xu turned to ask him.

Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "Very good, it would be great if there were more people."

"There is still a shortage of cavalry." Yin Xu said, "We lack horses, iron, and armor."

"It's simple, and you can buy it with money. The first battle in Korea just ended, and the treasury is empty. I heard that the government is already trying to sell some of the iron armor." Ye Zi turned around and said with a smile when she heard this.

"It's okay." Qi Yongfan patted him and said, "We have money, so we'll go to Wang Kui's place tomorrow, and we'll have more than ten or two million."

As for the war horse, that's easier.The horses of Dayin are generally purchased from the Western Regions at a high price, and the local production of horses is not as good as that on the grassland.

And if it can directly trade with the Western Regions, it will be easier.

Besides, now that Great Yin is on the verge of fragmentation, border countries all want to share a piece of the pie.They will be happy to support a new force to fight against the Yin.

Ye Zi said again: "The entire Yuechuan County is under our control, and the government has been bribed long ago...My lord, when shall we proceed to the next step?"

This was Yin Xu's original plan.Relying on Nanshan Town, nibble away step by step until the army goes north.

After all, they have no shortage of food, and donate food to the local people regularly from time to time. This move is more popular than the government's tax-free policy.

Yin Xu said lightly: "Look again, I will write to you."

Don't be in a hurry, the foundation is not yet stable, so why rush forward?

Now Ye Zi is the manager of this arsenal.I didn't see that this kid had this ability before. He seemed born to eat military food. He performed well in all aspects and had quite a leadership ability.

Therefore, Yin Xu is also very relieved to hand over the huge [-] army to him to manage.

After the morning training, Ye Zi sent someone to the RV to drag a few boxes of snacks back.The soldiers were very shocked when they saw this huge vehicle, but they didn't talk about it, and lowered their heads to move things.

Clearly, they've been brainwashed into the idea of ​​military obedience.

Afterwards, Qi Yongfan and Yin Xu wandered around here for a while.They left a bank note and handed it to Ye Zi to contact him to buy military supplies.

In the afternoon, they boarded the RV and set off for Nanshan Town.

Qi Yongfan still needs to take care of his growing money-making business.

……

Nanshan Town.

This is already Yin's world.The government is equivalent to a decoration, and this side is directly managed by the military factory.

The common people all know that there are soldiers raised on the nearby mountains, and these soldiers raise them in turn.

So everyone respects these soldiers.

Soldiers can go down the mountain for a day off every half month.They usually come to Nanshan Town to wander around or buy some food. They are very popular with the local Huaichun girls.

Over time, the economy of Nanshan Town has gradually developed.Many people from other villages and towns heard that there are people who regularly distribute free food here, and they tried their best to immigrate here.

In the afternoon, the sun is bright and the temperature is not so low.Qi Yongfan parked the RV in a hidden corner, and then walked to the town with Yin Xu.

For them, this is not only a memory, but also a romantic place where they first met.Qi Yongfan spent an unforgettable time in Nanshan Town, comparable to how he and Yin Xu lived together in Bulaoshan later.

Happiness is really simple sometimes.

They held hands and stepped on the muddy snow.The streets are extremely lively, bustling with stalls and crowded.Listening to the yelling from the stall, Qi Yongfan remembered that when he was selling instant noodles at the roadside stall, was he like these people?

The streets and alleys are filled with the atmosphere of earthly fireworks.

Quickly walked to Xia Xing Tavern.It has opened so many branches now, but this old shop in Nanshan Town still looks so familiar.Every plaque and every threshold he stepped on was planned by him last year.

Although it is not a meal, but at a glance, the guests in the store are sitting at several tables.

The waiter stood at the door to greet the customers. When he saw Qi Yongfan, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Boss Qi, are you back?"

"Yes." Qi Yongfan walked in and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"You wait... I'll go tell the shopkeeper." The waiter hurried into the room.

Qi Yongfan found a vacant seat and sat down, lowered his eyes and said to Yin Xu: "There is no change here, as always."

Yin Xu said: "I really miss it. In fact, I often came to the store to eat at that time to see you."

Qiyongfanahan said: "Then you fell in love with me?"

"Maybe." Yin Xu poured a cup of tea and said with a light smile, "Who knows."

Qi Yongfan said: "I only remember that you were very attractive in the past."

Yin Xu: "... very attractive?"

Qi Yongfan held his chin and recalled: "I used to feel that you were out of place with this place, and you were full of extravagance. Hey, it should be said that you are very conceited."

Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm not talking bad about you." Qi Yongfan hastily explained: "This is a different way of boasting."

Yin Xu shrugged, "Whatever, you're right, I used to be like this."

At this time, the waiter of the shop came with the shopkeeper.Qi Yongfan didn't know him. It turned out that all the employees in Nanshan Town had been replaced except Xiao Er.After ordering some side dishes, he sat down with Yin Xu and had a few drinks.

After drinking a pot of wine, Qi Yongfan got a little drunk, squinted his eyes and said: "We should go to Yuechuan County sometime."

"Well, let's go." Yin Xu took his hand and picked up the fur cape on the back of the chair by the way.

I don't know when it started to snow fluttering outside.Fine snowflakes fell on Yin Xu's robe, and on the top of his bundled black hair.

Qi Yongfan felt dizzy, and when he stepped on the ground, he realized that he had stepped into a snow pit, almost slipped, and fell forward into Yin Xu's arms.

A familiar embrace, a familiar breath.

He opened his eyes, saw that handsome face that he never tired of seeing, smiled silly, and called out: "Yin Xu, Yin Xu."

"Well, I'm here." Yin Xu said with a low smile.
