Chapter 10: A Million Pit of Grain
"But now that food rations are as precious as oil, you are very embarrassed to embroider and feel deeply understanding. Since that's the case..."
Before Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Kuai Liang took the lead and said, "Hey~, General Zhang's words are a bad thing. It is really a blessing for us to do things for the Emperor of Heaven. We hesitated just now, just thinking about how much food to save."
"Yes, yes, what Lord Kuai said is very true."
"Yes, it's our blessing to be able to share the worries of the Emperor of Heaven."
"In this way, my Kuai family spent 100,000 stones of rice and millet to help the people." Kuai Liang raised his head and raised his chest and said loudly.
Zhang Xiu raised a curve to the corner of his mouth, and then he said seriously: "Mr. Kuai's kindness and righteousness are conveyed on behalf of others to express his feelings. Later, the banquet ended and Xiongding gave it to the Emperor of the Kuai family, which will make the Kuai family prosperous for thousands of years."
Originally, Zhang Xiu just signaled that he could give it to him, but as soon as he said this, everyone was instantly excited.
The Emperor of Heaven's eyes Zhang Xiu actually gave him away, which was a great opportunity.
Kuai Liang was even more smiling. He had a lot of food and grass for 100,000 stones, but it was not too much for the seven tribes of Jingxiang. If he could get the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven, let alone 100,000 stones, he would be willing to give him another 100,000 stones.
"I thank Emperor Tian and General Zhang."
Before Kuai Liang could finish his words, the whole lobby was in full bloom.
"What the Emperor of Heaven entrusts is my duty. My Cai family is willing to help 100,000 stones of rice and millet." Cai Mao strolled out and shouted loudly.
"General Cai's benevolence and righteousness, Xiongding Ding Contemporary. After the banquet, Xiong also gave a gift to the Emperor of the Cai family, which will make the Cai family prosperous for thousands of years."
"My Pang family is willing to help 100,000 stones of rice and millet." Pang Lin said in a deep voice.
"My Huang family is also willing to help 100,000 stones of rice and millet." Huang Chengyan said loudly.
"And my Ma family is also willing to help 100,000 meters of millet." Ma Yang was not willing to be outdone.
“…”
For a moment, there were endless noises in the hall, and the seven tribes of Jingxiang all spoke. As for the local tyrants, there were also a lot of assistance, but there was not too much food and grass.
In the end, the Emperor of Heaven promised to go out, except for the one in Zhang Xiu's hand, he promised to have ten.
In Ma Huateng's words, you will make a lot of money, but I will definitely not lose.
Ten flashlights were forcibly raised to a sky-high price, nearly one million stones of rice and corn. What is this?
However, things are rare and precious. Fire candles in the late Han Dynasty were not cheap, let alone flashlights that had never appeared before. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are magical objects.
Seeing that many people stopped, Zhang Xiu took out another item and said, "Everyone, the pill in my hand was given by the Emperor of Heaven, called the Evil Pill. It can avoid evil spirits and cure plagues. There are thirty servings in total, everyone..."
"Can plague be cured?"
"What General Zhang said is true?"
Everyone was excited in an instant.
After all, there have been several major epidemics in Nanyang over the years, and those who suffer from infection will die. I have never heard of any cure. Even if many people in the big family have unfortunately died tragically, it is conceivable.
(Five people of the seven sons of Jian'an died of the plague, and most of the Zhang Zhongjing family died.)
"It can be cured naturally. Do you don't believe in the elixir given by the Emperor of Heaven?" Zhang Xiu was calm and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The general's words are serious, but if he has serious words, how dare we question it?" Everyone hurriedly smiled.
"General Zhang, people in our clan have also been infected with plague recently. I wonder if General Zhang can..." Kuai Liang's eyes turned and he immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Ahem, Lord Kuai, you also know that this elixir of evasion is not an ordinary thing, that..." Zhang Xiu looked embarrassed,
"In this way, the Kuai family is willing to help another 5,000 pieces of cloth and 50 million yuan. I wonder what this is like?" Kuai Liangyi said righteously.
Zhang Xiu smiled, talking to smart people was easy.
"Oh, forgot, since Lord Kuai is so considering his tribe, how can Xiu not be satisfied? I will give you a copy of the Evil-avoiding Pill and the Kuai family later." Zhang Xiu said with a embarrassed look on his face and said in pain.
"General Zhang, my Cai family is willing to help another 4,000 pieces of cloth, and the money is 50 million. I hope it is..." Cai Mao said with his fists.
"General Cai asked for elixirs in case of emergency needs. Embroidery deeply understands it. When the banquet is gone, Embroidery will definitely be delivered." Zhang Xiu smiled in his heart, but it was strong and powerful.
Sure enough, feudal society is just a fool, and if it were placed in later generations, it would probably be beaten to death.
Of course, what Zhang Xiu sold was not fake medicines. Penicillin was also an antibiotic, which was very common in later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, it was a magic medicine.
Not to mention minor diseases of wind and cold, even antibiotics such as plague can be cured.
Then, dozens of families of all sizes donated money and grain just to ask for a pill to avoid misfortune.
This also made the original meaning of the banquet fade a lot, and Liu Cong didn't know what to do.
Liu Biao was also anxious. He had not obtained the things of the Emperor of Heaven. His family was not comparable to those of the seven major families. He could not even get anything if he wanted to help.
"I am so embarrassed that I am so embarrassed that I am so grateful to me that I am so grateful to me. Fortunately, I am so grateful to me without any grudges about my past, and I am so grateful to me."
Zhang Xiu stood up and thanked him.
"This is the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven. There are three other elixirs to show gratitude. I hope that the Lord will not dislike him."
Liu Biao was stunned. He was over fifty years old and seemed energetic at this time.
"Youwei is polite. Your uncle is the General of the Great Han cavalry. He traveled thousands of miles to join us. However, some misunderstandings occurred, so that General Zhang Ji died tragically. He expressed deep pain for this. He also hoped that Youweimo would like to hate and express his grief."
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he held his five fingers together and coughed lightly: "Cong'er, you have a crown today. You won't invite General Zhang to sit down. I respect General Zhang."
Liu Cong beside him was feeling miserable, so he led his maid forward quickly and sent a bottle of turbid wine to him naturally. At the same time, Liu Cong greedily took the elixir and the heavenly eyes from Zhang Xiu's hand.
Zhang Xiu drank it all, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was waiting for Liu Biao to accept his gift.
"The envoy, I have a heartless request, and I hope that the envoy will be able to be at peace."
Liu Biao's wrinkled eyelids twitched. He should have guessed that Zhang Xiu would not give him the elixir for no reason. He immediately said vigilantly: "Youwei doesn't have to be polite, but it doesn't matter."
"Emister, you should know that Nanyang is the place of four battles, with Cao Cao lying in the north and Yuan Shu lying in the east.
But I am short of soldiers and military supplies. I hope that the emperor can dispose of the army, the fierce generals and the embroidery, so that Nanyang can be safe."
Zhang Xiu was miserable, with a heartbroken expression.
"Army General?" Liu Biao's eyes twitched. This is a lifeblood, how could it be...
"Ahem, Youwei, it's not that I don't want to help you, but bandits everywhere in Jingzhou are everywhere, and the military is consumed so much that it has even lost several of my generals. I am really powerless!"
"Dog guy, he's really cunning."
Zhang Xiu cursed in his heart that although Liu Biao was not enterprising enough, he still had the ability. During his reign, Cao Cao did not dare to go south.
"However, in the important area of Nanyang's border, and Youwei is my confidant general, how can he not be humane?
In this way, after the banquet ended, Youwei and General Cai rushed to the southern camp of Jingzhou to select ten generals, a thousand sets of armor and weapons, and three thousand elite soldiers. How about it?"
"I thank the envoy for his kindness, but Jingxiang is the most important part of the world. How can I draw troops and horses and embroidery? If the thief takes the opportunity to make trouble, embroidery should regret it all day long."
Zhang Xiu didn't want the infantrymen in Jingzhou.
"I will not want any military, armor, weapons, and embroidery. I just want to ask the envoy for two people, and I hope you can agree to it."
"Oh, just two people? I don't know who they are!" Liu's face turned from pain to joy. He was still heartbroken, but Zhang Xiu didn't want them but just two people, which was a good thing.
"Huang Zhong, Wen Pin. These two people had a relationship with Xiu many years ago, and I hope the envoy promised me."
Zhang Xiu's tone was heavy, which made people unbearable to refuse.
"Huang Zhongwu knows that he is skilled in archery and horses. Who is the one who is this Wenpin?" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
Liu Biao focused on family background, and Huang Zhong had a good family background, so he appointed him as the general to stay in You County with Liu Pan. As for Wenpin, he did not know about his lack.
Cai Mao glanced at Zhang Xiu, his eyes moved slightly, and then he stood up and said, "Lord, Wen Pin is the centurion under his command, and his martial arts are sparse and ordinary."
After saying that, Cai Mao turned his attention to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu smiled and didn't know what Cai Mao meant.
"Since Youwei has spoken, how can I bear to refuse? Cai Mao, after the banquet is over, he will immediately transfer these two people to General Zhang's command to obey the orders, and there must be no mistakes." Liu Biao raised his hand and said.
The two generals saved a large amount of military weapons and made a fortune.
Now look at it, Zhang Xiu should have no intention of rebelling, otherwise why refuse? All three thousand powerful soldiers are defeated by the two?
Sure enough, he is a common man in Xiliang!
