Fight the Giants

  Chapter 85 Mind

  Yang Fu feels distressed. That wine is good wine.

   It takes a lot of silver.

  But after Huo Xi took a look, he was relieved. It's just a basket of wine, and they sell it for two taels of silver for breakfast and dinner.

  Huo Xi looked at the tael of silver in his hand, he made a bit too much for dinner, he used three chickens and ducks, a dozen fish, and shrimps. A tael of silver is just hard-earned money.

   But it is nice to receive money.

   Turning around, he handed the money to Huo Erhuai, who happily picked it up.

  The nearby boatmen were all staring at the **** officer when they arrived. Seeing that there was still wine on board the Huo family's boat, his eyes lit up.

  They are reluctant to eat meals, and they can just eat the dry food they bring. But this kind of autumn night mixed with moisture, cool evening breeze, boring and boring, it seems unreasonable not to have some wine.

   "Erhuai, hurry up and get some wine, the wine worms are here."

   "Give me two taels too."

   "The Huo family, I want two taels too."

   "Hey, just come." Huo Erhuai happily responded. The child's mother also said that the wine basket takes up space, how can this take up space? No matter how much space he occupies, he is happy to take it with him.

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu quickly helped everyone pack the wine. The wine is poured out one by one, put into bamboo cups and bamboo tubes, and handed out.

   After a while, I received a lot of copper plates.

  Ten catties of wine, one cent and three cents, the boatman who originally sold Taoyedu for three cents, two cents, and one tael of wine tonight. No one thought it was too expensive, many people came to Huo's house to buy wine.

   There is still a vigil at night, and there is nothing wrong with a boatload of food. Some people will not be able to eat so much food in their entire lives, and they are responsible for the food on their own boats. If something goes wrong, they will not be able to pay for it if they sell it.

   You have to watch the night, it's best to drink some wine.

  Huo Erhuai and Huo Xi were busy getting drinks, while Yang Fu was busy collecting money and handing out drinks.

   "Xi'er, Xi'er, that **** officer is here again!" Yang Fu saw that Mr. He coming in a boat from a distance, and hurriedly got into the cabin to report.

  Huo Xi was overjoyed: "Father, bring out those good wines first." He got out while talking.

   "Brother He." He smiled at him from afar.

  He Feng hooked the corner of his mouth towards her, and nodded slightly.

   Passed out several rice bowls from the Huo family, and asked, "Is there still wine on board? It's the same as before."

  Huo Xi nodded: "There are still a few baskets. How much does Brother He want?"

   "Then give me three baskets."

   "Hey, good." Turn around and ask Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu to hold wine.

  The two heard it in the cabin, and they had already brought out the wine basket, "Big, my lord."

  He Feng asked the boatman to row the boat over and stood at the bow to take them one by one.

   Handed another two taels of silver to Huo Xi. Huo Xi refused to take it, "Brother He, I've given you too much."

   "Take it. We adults reward you."

   "Thank you Brother He, thank you adults." Thinking of something, he said again: "Brother He wait a moment."

  Niang asked her to bring so many snacks to go with the wine, she almost forgot.

  Huo Xi returned to the cabin, took some beans, dried fish, and shrimps, put them in a basket, and handed them to him: "It's some snacks to go with the wine. Let's treat Brother He to eat."

  He Feng smiled at her, took it, and the boat left again.

  The people next to him watched with jealousy. Although he didn't know how much money was handed out, he vaguely heard the words.

  The **** officer is so easy to talk this time? Not only do you not want food from the people for nothing, but you also give rewards?

   Oops, sorry. Had I known they had brought out some wine too. If you can also get the favor of adults, then this journey will be smooth.

   "Dad, look!"

  Huo Erhuai was also very happy when he saw two taels of silver, "Xi'er, these **** officers are not bad." At least he didn't bully others with his power, and took the common people by force.

  I received four taels of silver today. very nice.

  Huo Erhuai carefully put the money in his purse, took it to the cabin and put it away safely.

  He Feng brought back a few baskets of wine, but was looted by a boatload of people.

  Thirty catties of wine, among the fifteen of them, none of them can share much. But it's just right to the point where you can satisfy your cravings without drinking too much.

   "This Huo family is very scheming. Knowing that the ship only needs to requisition and transport food, they still bring wine and so much food to the ship for business." One of He Feng's colleagues, Lu Huai, talked about the Huo family while drinking wine.

   "He doesn't do business, so can you eat and drink?" He Feng rebuked him.

   Lu Huai was blocked, and he was a little speechless, "If everyone carries it with them, can the food be filled?"

   "Originally it is stipulated that the load should be eight points, and the imperial court does not give the fishermen foot money, and it also delays the fishing and selling of the fish. Why don't they think of ways to earn some copper coins?"

  Lu Huai couldn't say no to him, and looked at Baihu.

  Yan Baihu glanced at him indifferently: "Either you eat dry food tomorrow?"

   Lu Huai choked and shook his head violently. Dry food is not as delicious as hot food.

"They didn't delay things. They recruited them when they said they wanted to be recruited, and escorted them when they said they wanted to be escorted. They dismantled their own cabins. They didn't try to make some money. After they went back, they had to post money to repair the cabin. If you want it, are you willing? You brought it with you. Still less?"

   Lu Huai stopped talking.

   If you have the opportunity to go to Huai'an to deposit food, Huai'an is a place where commerce and trade flourish from south to north, and if you don't bring some things to exchange for some money, how can the military's salary be enough.

  He Feng took a look at Yan Baihu, sat down and poured him wine.

   These **** officers were selected from the garrison of the capital. There are fifteen people in total on this ship, and they are in charge of sixty ships of the C brand. When we first went to the army to select people, Lord Baihu picked them out.

  He heard from the adults that in the future, a water transportation department may be specially set up to be in charge of water transportation.

  Originally, when Taizu established the dynasty, he set up a water transport department, but it was abolished soon. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he wants to transport grain to the north. There is news that the Water Transport Department will be re-established.

  I heard that there will be twelve guards under the guard. According to the current organization of the guards, one guard has five thousand households in the left, right, middle, front and back, and each guard has thousands of people. The twelve guards have more than 100,000 people.

  Yan Baihu said that he would not be able to get ahead in the garrison. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the political situation has stabilized, and he has no military merits to claim. Maybe it will be an opportunity to be incorporated into the Cao army.

   Cao Jun is not only responsible for water transportation, but also responsible for sea transportation, which is very oily and watery. It is also easy to make meritorious deeds.

  But now the Cao government has not yet been established. In addition to sea transportation, which is mainly military transportation, water transportation is mostly civilian transportation. Even if a water transportation department is set up in the future, the Cao army will not be able to get so many ships at once.

   It is better to make good friends with fishermen.

  He Feng thought silently, and poured another glass of wine for Yan Baihu, "My lord, try these snacks that go with the wine again, they are also made by that family."

   "Oh? There are also snacks with wine? Then you have to try it."

  Huo Xi's side was busy getting drinks for the boatmen around, and it also came to an end.

  Huo Erhuai called all the owners of the ten ships of Bingzi over, and while drinking with them, he told them to watch the food at night.

  Tell them to pair up, one to watch the first half of the night, the other to watch the second half of the night, alternately.

  The Huo family and Yu Jiang formed a team. In the first half of the night, Yu Jiang was guarded, and in the second half of the night, Huo Erhuai was replaced. Yu Jiang happened to be able to go back to the boat to sleep, and he had to row the next day.

  As for the Huo family, with Yang Fu helping to change hands, it doesn't matter if it's the first or second night.

  Because they had to keep food, everyone didn’t drink for long, and soon went back to their respective boats. Those who should rest rested, and those who should watch the food watched the food.

  Huo Xi thought about tomorrow's breakfast, and asked Huo Erhuai to go to bed first, while she pulled Yang Fu to make some preparations.

   There should be another update in the afternoon~
