Some aunts casually gave them some rice grains. Of course they knew that it was a charity from the other party.
At the same time, it would be fun if someone handed over money, or put down half a bag.
These people will definitely regard it as a big fat sheep!
Don't test human nature, even if they are so pitiful now, it is very likely that at the next moment, they will let you know what terror is.
Chapter 47 Small advantage, you have to take it!
"Fourth brother Fang arrived, but he didn't go far to greet him, so I'm so rude!"
The shrewd boss clasped his fists and opened his mouth, then continued, "I don't know why Fourth Brother Fang is here today? Is there not enough millet in the army, or... not enough millet?"
The entire Zhuo County knows that the four brothers have raised an army, and they eat, drink, and entertain on weekdays. The key point is that the Yellow Turban is about to die out now, and they are running out of food...
No one will pity the four of them, it's just the breeding of ambition. The big family understands that once they have power, it will be difficult to give up.
The strangest thing is actually why Liu Yan didn't do anything.
With his means, he could easily use these 3000 people for his own use, but he didn't make a move, which is very strange.
Is it really good for a person without an official position to bring so many soldiers and horses?
The big families are all guessing whether this army was raised by Liu Yan.
Otherwise, someone would have already invested.
Three thousand, not three hundred!
Liu Bei already has the capital, let them bet on it, as long as this world continues to be chaotic...
"That's not the case. It's just that the army has either corn or millet recently. It's really not easy to import, so I brought some money to buy some other grains."
Fang Mo spoke indifferently, staring at the display in the store with piercing eyes.
There are more than ten kinds of crops such as millet, millet, beans, highland barley, buckwheat, hemp, millet, sorghum, and wheat.
Generally speaking, ordinary people eat millet and millet in addition to beans and sorghum.
The last person, Shimai, is made by ordinary steaming method, which is extremely throat-sucking, and it is not easy to digest, and it can last for a long time after being full.
The middle and upper layers naturally eat rice, millet, and mixed meat.
In the past, Fang Mo, Liu Guanzhang and the others ate like this, and it was no different from the mainstream meal now, except that the various dishes were more abundant.
"Look around, if there is no food at home, you can come to me to get it at will. As for the army..." The boss smiled bitterly when he said this: "It's a small business, I dare not boast."
Those who are capable in the food industry, if they operate with a small capital, there will be no bigger business.
Especially in this chaotic world, food is human life!
They hoarded gold and silver with relatively cheap food in ordinary times. When the prosperous age came, they became rich and continued to pass on their family.
Of course, most of these merchants also have aristocratic platforms behind them, otherwise it would be almost like courting death if they wanted to operate food.
As for why the boss said that they can come here to get food if they are short of food at home, it is entirely because the other party knows that the four brothers are no longer ordinary people. From now on, make a good impression at this time, and it will be convenient for the two parties to meet later.
"Okay, first bring me twenty catties of wheat and send it to Old Man Zhang's house." Fang Mo pointed to the familiar wheat, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The real value of this thing has not been fully developed yet.
On this little broken ball, more than half of the people depend on it for food, even in later generations, this is still the case.
It's just that bread in the West has not yet been made, while in the East...
The guy who came up with noodles and steamed buns is probably still "farming in Nanyang".
No, probably not yet born.
Otherwise, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms simply slandered it?After his invention, I don't know how many people in the war can survive.
There are also wooden cattle and horses, which are also used in the construction industry in later generations. They have not been changed in 2000, and they have spread all over the world...
Monster, other than monster, there is no word to describe that person.
No wonder there is a Zhaolie Temple in the middle of Shu, but the people of future generations, whoever passes by, are not allowed to say "Oh, Wuhou Temple, I know!"
Sister, that's Zhaolie Temple, and the officiant is Liu Bei, okay?
When Fang Mo was thinking about something, the boss also reacted from the shock, and said in a low voice, "Mai? Are you sure?"
Mai, at most he is full, and he is full, but any army will never feed on this...
"Of course I'm sure. The price of wheat is right. With the gold and silver in my hand, thousands of catties is no problem." Fang Mo replied with a smile, waved his hand, turned and walked out: "Remember, send Go to old man Zhang."
"Oh, good!"
The boss quickly agreed, looking at his back when he went out, he felt that his head was not enough. Everyone knew that this was a kind of food that could only be used to feed one's stomach and could never be used to raise soldiers. It was not as good as sorghum.
"Just because it's cheap? What is the situation of the four brothers? Isn't there a rumor that they were raised by the prefect?" The boss didn't understand, but he still ordered people to do things as soon as possible.
In the grain industry, there are a lot of strong laborers, some are domestic slaves, and some come to make a living, they are worse than domestic slaves, as for those who are tall and strong, they are the people who protect the grain industry.
They are a class higher than house slaves, they can be regarded as guards, and they eat much better than house slaves. Generally, they are not specially asked to do things, but they are only asked to go out of the city to meet or escort when transporting food on weekdays.
Does this look familiar?That's right!The food store controlled by the family is like a small army. Unless there is a big chaos, it will never be robbed on weekdays.
……
"I didn't even spend the money, tsk tsk tsk!" Fang Mo just took advantage of the other party's daze, and then he didn't have to pay.As for whether the other party will give it away, that is a must, unless they don't want to form this good relationship with the four brothers.
It is not a gentleman's act to get a small advantage, and it is even more against morality in China's inheritance.
But Liu Bei is not suitable for such a thing, but it cannot be said that Fang Mo is not suitable either. In order to support the three thousand soldiers, he really didn't want any face.
Excitedly, he walked towards the old man Zhang's house, stepped in without knocking on the door, and then looked at the stone mill that was almost finished in the yard. Here it comes."
"It's just a few small things. I will help the village castle to make stone mills when I have nothing to do. But why is this stone mill different from the one I know?"
The old man Zhang was puzzled when he asked. He looked left and right, but he didn't find any difference in this thing.
It's just two more districts.
"secret!"
Fang Mo smiled, carefully observed the stone mill, and said in his heart, I hope it can be used, it is best to be able to grind out flour, then it will be much easier to raise soldiers.
At this time, there was actually flour milling, but because it was not fine enough, it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and food wasted, so not many people would do it.
