Chapter 277 He is really smart
"Pear--"
Seeing Lu Songli walking out from inside, the lights in the room formed a shadow behind her.
Qin Sheng's eyes lit up and he went forward to meet him.
Look, as soon as he came looking for her, Lili came out and went home with him.
If he hadn't come out to look for her and had waited quietly at home, Lili would definitely not have come home so soon. He was really smart. Qin Sheng was secretly proud of himself.
At this time, the moon is full, the stars are twinkling, and the silvery moonlight is pouring down.
He looked at her with a smile on his face and a light in his eyes.
"The night is nice tonight, shall we take a walk?" Lu Songli suggested.
Qin Sheng agreed without hesitation, "Okay." Strolling under the moonlight, the storybook that Third Brother had read before said that this was a romantic scene that only happens to men and women in love.
Lu Songli walked up to him, took his arm, and walked side by side.
This was the first time that his wife held his arm outside, and their men were following behind in a carriage. Qin Sheng didn't know what to do.
Lu Songli's slender jade fingers meandered down his small arm, slid across his palm, and interlocked their fingers.
Qin Sheng reacted quickly and shook hands with him.
The streets at night are very quiet.
The two of them walked hand in hand under the moon in front, and behind them, the guards followed in a carriage not far away.
The breeze is gentle and makes people feel comfortable.
"Li Li, I took down the Skull Village in Wuliu County." Tell me you want to reward me!
"That's great." Lu Songli praised generously.
"Li Li, this is the third stronghold. I will later take down the Qixing Stronghold in Liaoyang County—" Qin Sheng hinted frantically.
Lu Songli suppressed her laughter. She loved seeing him racking his brains to get credit from her. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Qin Sheng: It’s over, my wife didn’t understand his hint.
Qin Sheng wilted for a moment, then straightened up again. "Lili, when we were attacking Qixing Village in Wuliu County today, Liufu Village, just across the mountain, was watching from the sidelines. They were so arrogant, as if they were sure we wouldn't dare to attack."
"This mountain divides Liaodong and Liaoxi, and it's become their safety line. Lili, when can we attack them?"
Lu Songli raised an eyebrow, "Why, the bandits in Liaodong County can no longer satisfy you?"
Qin Sheng's heart was filled with alarm. This didn't seem like he was trying to praise them.
Qin Sheng quickly passed the blame on to others, "It wasn't me, it was Zhou Da. When he came back, he kept asking me when we could attack the bandits in Liaoxi County."
"I also think that he is always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl. This behavior is very bad." Qin Sheng criticized Zhou Da seriously.
Seeing him like this, Lu Songli wondered if he thought she was being clever. So she decided to tease him. Then she changed the subject, "But Zhou Da is great. He's very ambitious."
Qin Sheng: ...
It was a mistake. Is it too late for him to get the hat back?
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Lu Songli couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qin Sheng had already reacted and looked at her sadly, "Bad guy, teasing him again."
After Lü Songli had laughed enough, she comforted him, "Once you have eliminated all the bandits in Liaodong County, you should be able to consider moving westward."
"Lili, after we defeat Qixing Village, which county's village do you think we should attack next?"
"You're better at leading troops in battle than I am. Do you have a plan in mind for where to attack next?"
Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He did have a plan.
Lü Songli: "You must remember that when a general is on the battlefield, he is not subject to military orders. In the future, if you lead troops on the battlefield, you should follow your own judgment on how to fight, and don't be influenced by the rear."
Qin Sheng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Thinking of his recent non-stop fight against bandits, Lu Songli asked softly, "Are you tired of attacking three strongholds in a row?"
"I am a little tired." Qin Sheng glanced at her from the corner of his eyes as he said this, "But only a little, not a lot."
Lu Songli found it funny. What he meant was that he wanted to make her feel distressed, but was also afraid that she would think he was a loser?
"Can you give me a massage when we get back?" Lu Songli asked him in a low voice.
Press? Qin Sheng's eyes lit up, "Okay, of course."
Then he glanced at the sky and said impatiently, "Lili, let's take the carriage back, it's very late." The night is short, don't waste any more time!
Lu Songli smiled and said, "I'll listen to you." After walking for such a distance, it was enough.
Qin Sheng just thought his wife was so well-behaved.
Then, Lu Songli let him pull her to stand still, and when the carriage arrived, he helped her get on before jumping on.
Before getting into the carriage, he did not forget to say, "Let's go back. It's late now. There's no one on the road. The carriage can go faster."
The next day, after fishing, Ji Wuyin followed Xue Xu into the county magistrate's mansion.
Lu Songli met him in the flower hall.
The two sides had met last night. At this time, they skipped the lengthy greetings and went straight to the point after a simple greeting.
Lu Songli asked, "I wonder how much food Mr. Ji brought this time? What kinds of food are there?"
Liaodong County is currently experiencing a serious food shortage. It's a lean season, and with the floods currently afflicting the south, grain prices have been rising. The average price is currently around 15 wen per jin (approximately 1500 coins). A dan (approximately 1,800 coins) of grain costs about 1,100 wen. Most people can no longer afford food.
Ji Wuyin kept the secret, not revealing how much he had brought. He simply said, "Rice, millet, wheat, beans, everything. I wonder what your price is?"
"What price does Mr. Ji want?"
"One stone is not less than one thousand eight hundred coins." When Ji Wuyin said this price, his eyes were always fixed on Lu Songli.
The grain he brought wasn't bad. The worst was old grain from the year before last, but because it was well-preserved, it had absolutely no mold. Not to mention the floods in the south, the price of grain was rising steadily...
All in all, he didn't raise the price, but he didn't sell it cheaply either.
Xue Xu thought to himself, this stingy guy is really greedy for money!
Lu Songli nodded, indicating that the price was fine. "Mr. Ji, do you want to settle in cash?"
"You don't want to bargain?" Ji Wuyin was surprised.
Lu Songli laughed, "That's not necessary. If the food Mr. Ji brings is of good quality, then Mr. Ji's price is very fair."
What's more, they bear all the risks and deliver the goods to your door.
Ji Wuyin was a little puzzled by her and decided to continue walking. "This batch of grain I have is large in quantity and the price is not low. And for settlement, I don't want gold or silver, I want goods of equal value."
This time he chartered the entire fleet of the Cao Gang to go north, and settled the bill with gold and silver. On the return trip, he also had to purchase another batch of goods to load onto the ship, otherwise it would be a waste to send these ships back empty.
"Yes," Lu Songli agreed. "I wonder how much food Mr. Ji brought?"
"All types of grain added up to 20,000 dan." Ji Wuyin spit out a number lightly.
One shi is 120 jin, and 20,000 shi is 2.4 million jin of grain.
As expected of the richest man in the Southland! If he doesn't make a move, it's fine, but when he does, it's astonishing!
"We want them all."
