Forty-three, on behalf of the support

The pangolin was so imprisoned by Xu Rujie, but he didn't dare to get angry. He said with a bitter face: "Brother Marshal, I'm going to beg you, just be fine. Give some food to you. Let me tell you a hundred thousand brothers. I will repay you after I accept your love."

Xu Rujie was impatient and wanted to drive him out. Suddenly, a postman ran in from outside, handed him a letter to Xu Rujie in both hands and said, "Brother Zhu sent an urgent letter, please ask the Grand Marshal to take a look immediately."

"Oh? Is there a letter coming at this moment?" Xu Rujie felt puzzled in his heart. He answered the letter in front of the pangolin and opened it to see it. The pangolin stretched his neck and looked at it. Unfortunately, he was illiterate at all, so it was useless to see it.

Xu Rujie only looked at two lines and laughed. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang had already expected that the 100,000 yuan of Hunting came to ask for food. This letter was written specifically to guide Xu Rujie how to deal with the 100,000 yuan of Hunting. The letter stated in detail the handling method, and even explained the reasons clearly.

After Xu Rujie finished reading it, he realized his mind. When he turned his head to look at the pangolin, his eyes flashed like he was looking at a fat sheep.

The pangolin was seen by him and his hair stood up: "Brother Marshal, you...what do you think I'm doing?"

Xu Rujie said: "I didn't want to give you food, but our brother Zhu Ba is kind-hearted and wrote a letter to ask me to take care of you."

The pangolin was overjoyed: "Take it serious?"

Xu Rujie hummed, "Brother Zhu just likes to be good at it, alas... forget it, our brother is naturally the only one who follows the leader. He said to help you, so let's help."

The pangolin was overjoyed: "How much food did Brother Zhu promise to give us?"

Xu Rujie said: "I can't give you food directly... but... it's okay to pay for it... My brother who has broken through Yan'an Mansion and robbed a lot of money. Why don't you need money to buy it for us? Our price is fair, twenty cents per kilo of taro..."

After hearing this, the pangolin pouted. In fact, when he sent him to ask for food for 100,000 yuan, he knew that it might not be able to get it. Why should I give you the food for the family for free? So I secretly ordered that I could buy it with money. In fact, in this year of drought, I might not even be willing to sell it. Grain is a strategic material, and if I can buy it, I have to thank you for it. He heard that he could buy it, but he was actually very happy. Moreover, twenty cents per pound is not expensive. He knew nothing about internal affairs and was even more capable of numerology. So he asked: "Master Marshal, please help me calculate. Our army used to have more than 10,000 yuan in the past. Since the Ting'an Mansion, many fellow villagers have come to invest. Now the total number is over 30,000 yuan... How much grain should I buy to last for a year and a half? How much silver is needed? You quote a price, and I will go back and ask if you can get it for 100,000 yuan."

Xu Rujie was too lazy to help him calculate this, and he reported casually: "If the grain price is low during the harvest year, one year will be eaten, and it will take about two taels of silver. But the current price of grain has increased five times compared to the grain in the harvest year. If one is consumed by one, one must eat at least ten taels of silver. If you earn 30,000... well... prepare 300,000 taels and it will be almost done."

"Three hundred thousand taels?" The pangolin's mouth was as big as a hat, and his chin almost fell to the ground: "Brother Marshal, are you... a little expensive?"

"It's expensive? If you're afraid it's expensive, don't buy it." Xu Rujie is from a business owner and is at the top of his level of understanding customer psychology. When he saw the pangolin's expression and eyes, he knew that the price could be bitten without loose.

"How can this be born..." The pangolin turned around with bitter face: "How can our army have so much money... Is there any way to compromise?"

"No, go prepare the money."

"Hey..." The pangolin was so anxious that he was about to cry. A huge man was so anxious that he was actually quite miserable.

Xu Rujie blinked and suddenly said, "Brother Zhu actually proposed a method that can save you a lot of money, but I'm afraid you won't..."

The pangolin was overjoyed: "Let me tell me?"

Xu Rujie smiled and said, "Brother Zhu said that the army is a rebel army with us. The parents and brothers of the soldiers of the army are our parents and brothers. Since they are their own parents and brothers, of course they have to borrow them to support them..."

He was talking around, and the pangolin couldn't understand it, and he jumped in a hurry.

Xu Rujie finally concluded: "You can send all the old and weak women in the army to southern Shaanxi. We are willing to take them to southern Shaanxi for support. They can be distributed to the fields, cultivate food, and live a happy and comfortable life. If the old and weak women are abandoned, you can spend less money to buy food, and your combat effectiveness will definitely increase significantly. Look... we, Brother Zhu, will take care of us."

After hearing this, the pangolin finally understood and immediately opened his mouth: "You... want to take all the old and weak women from our army to help us raise them?"

"It's o."

"What should I do if I am young and strong?"

Xu Rujie said: "It's a bit inappropriate for young and strong men to get into our white spoon with swords, swords, guns and guns? We don't dare to take this."

Pangolin said: "In other words, we only support the elderly and weak women and not soldiers?"

"That's right." Xu Rujie smiled and said, "Don't you?"

"This..." The pangolin hesitated: "I...I have to think about it."

In fact, for any rebel army, the old and weak women are a very troublesome problem. Whether it is a big bandit like Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, or a small bandit like 100,000, they have to take the old and weak women with them when they are wandering around, and even let these burdens follow when fighting. They themselves know that taking these in is not only wasteful food and dragging down the speed of the march, but they must not be left alone, otherwise the army will collapse in an instant.

If you are willing to help them get a territorial position, it is of course good, but if you are afraid that the soldiers will not want to separate from their homes, it will be terrible. Moreover, it seems that something is wrong for the soldiers to fall into the hands of others.

Xu Rujie added as if he saw through his concerns: "Don't worry, our Zhu Jun will never use your old and weak women to do anything. We promise to just support you well and be your parents. If we have a bad relationship with each other, Brother Zhu promises not to hurt them half of their fingers... Isn't what Brother Zhu said? Humph! When Brother Zhu debuted, he didn't know which valley he suffered in a hundred thousand."

The pangolin scratched his head, but he didn't dare to answer this question. He would rather go back and let the big brother Hang Hundred Thousand make up his mind. He said goodbye in a hurry and went back to Yan'an to pray.

As soon as this guy left, Li Panlong came out from behind the screen. He looked puzzled and asked Xu Rujie: "What the hell is Brother Zhu doing? What is the use of receiving a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people?"

"Of course it's useful." Xu Rujie smiled and said, "First of all, this is the entrance for more than 20,000 yuan. Our Shaanxi-Xiang land is widely and the most scarce thing for the base is the entrance. Don't worry about the elderly, weak women or women, the more entrances the better. Although they are a little weak, it's not a problem for the whole family to work together to serve a mu of taro. Even if they have no ground to dig the ground, they can still weave clothes."

Li Panlong smiled bitterly and said, "It's better not to mention this usefulness."

Xu Rujie said again: "The second function is great... If we master these old and weak women, our army will be equivalent to controlling the lifeline of 100,000 yuan, and we can pinch him at any time."

Li Panlong said: "Didn't you just say that you will never threaten these old and weak women with them?" He imitated Xu Rujie's tone just now and said yin sarcastically: "If our army is in a bad relationship, Brother Zhu promises not to hurt them half of his finger..."

"Tsk, Li Panlong, I'm sorry to look at you, but you're as stupid as a thief." Xu Rujie smiled and said, "Although we don't touch a finger of these old and weak women, will they not talk to their son? As long as they write a letter from the family and send their son Zhu Ba to a hundred thousand, they live a happy life, and they have food, clothing and housing... Who do you think will these soldiers who receive the letter from the family listen to in the end?"

Li Panlong knelt: "You, you and Brother Zhu are so cunning. I think that although it is stupid to spend 100,000 yuan, there is such an obvious truth. He only needs to spend two nights to raise his pillow and think about it. He will never be fooled by entering the family."

"No, this is decided by him." Xu Rujie shook his head and said, "What we do is not yin plot at all, but a dignified open plot. Even if he knows that doing this is inappropriate, he will starve to death if he doesn't do it. Do you think he will do it or not?"

Li Panlong covered his face and left: "You are too dangerous, I want to draw a clear line with you."

"I can't draw a clear mark." Xu Rujie laughed: "My husband and concubine live in your house now. Why are you talking about drawing a clear line in front of the thief Guan'er... By the way, aren't you also a dangerous guy? Where did you go to chase Miao Mei in the past?"

After a few ris, the pangolins came to Luochuan with 100,000 taels of silver and purchased food for 10,000 yuan. It seemed that the warable soldiers who had 10,000 yuan were 10,000 yuan, while the elderly and weak women who had 20,000 yuan had to obediently send them to southern Shaanxi and let Zhu Jun "maintenance on their behalf."

The border line of Luochuan suddenly became lively. Soldiers of 100,000 troops came to see off their parents, wives and children. They couldn't bear to separate from their families, but if they didn't separate, it would be the end of the family starving to death. In this situation, they had to separate their wives and children, which was indescribable.

"Father, mother... After you arrive in southern Shaanxi and settle down, please be sure to write a letter from the family to your children and report safety..."

"Boy, aren't you illiterate?"

"This... if you draw a circle on the letter paper, it means everything is fine."

"Damn the child... Stop crying. Brother Zhu Ba Renming was passed down. He will not treat you two badly... You happened to go back to our old house in Pucheng and find our ancestral land to farm... Although it is only one acre and seven cents of land, it has been passed down by our family for seven generations..."
