The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 580 God-Given Opportunity (Two Chapters in One)

Yan Laoer secretly opened the letter.

It read:

Dad!

I have captured the coal transport team!

Yan Laoer: ...

Surprised? Happy?

Yan Laoer: I was a little scared.

Then Yan Yu described the process of the battle.

...After the meeting between Beirong and Xizhou, they did not leave after the transaction, but gathered together. We took advantage of this moment to capture them in one fell swoop.

All Beirong were killed, leaving no one alive.

The Xizhou soldiers stayed temporarily, and no one escaped.

Uncle Luo has brought the prisoners back to the place where we rested before.

I think it is better to keep these Xizhou soldiers, they may be useful in the future...

But I am still undecided about how to deal with them. I want to hear your opinion, Dad. And uncle, I have sent someone back to deliver the letter. Although it is slower to use people to run errands, Jiuxiao has just been trained. He can find the right place to deliver the letter so quickly. Not to mention others, even I don’t believe it.

Yan Laoer nodded secretly. He thought so too, so he hid every time when Jiuxiao flew over, fearing that people would see him.

Therefore, he didn't dare to report to the prince even when his daughter led the militia to do such a big thing.

What should he say? He said that he and Xiaoer had been communicating frequently?

It's hard to explain!

Dad, there is one more thing. After interrogation, we learned that Xizhou is not just this caravan. Beirong wants to trade a large amount of coal this time, bringing cattle, horses, people, furs...

Yan Laoer was stunned and was particularly focused when he saw this.

His daughter knew him well, and the numbers were clearly listed.

Then he saw his daughter continued to write:

The ratio of Beirong's trade with Xizhou is about... I have confirmed from the captives that there is another coal transport caravan scheduled to arrive early tomorrow morning.

Dad!

God-given opportunity!!!

Yan Laoer felt her excitement from the number of exclamation marks in his daughter's mouth.

I was just worrying about how to cover up the coal robbery so that Xizhou would not suspect us.

Here it comes.

What do you think of Beirong turning against them, buying coal at zero yuan, and forcibly robbing Xizhou coal?

Hahaha! I think it's wonderful!

Xizhou will not admit the crime of collusion with foreigners.

They were robbed by Beirong, so how dare they make it public?

The mine is a private mine, and it is even more unclear why they transported coal here. They probably dare not mention the word Beirong. This is a bad debt, and they can only swallow it.

As for confronting Beirong?

We are even less worried.

All the people of Beirong are dead, and the cattle, sheep, people and furs they brought are all gone. Wouldn't Beirong suspect that Xizhou is doing bad things?

They can't suspect us.

After all, our prince of Guanzhou is still begging to buy high-priced coal in Xizhou!

We have carefully handled the scene. Now it is windy and snowy. After one night, there is no trace.

Dad, do you think God is helping us?

So, Dad, we have changed into Beirong's clothes. Hehehe, you know what to do. When another coal-carrying team arrives tomorrow, we will kill them.

Don't worry, let them never come back.

No one can escape Jiuxiao's pursuit. Our Jiuxiao is awesome!

By the way, Dad, I plan to write a letter to Mom to report my safety. Do you have any letters to take back? Let Jiuxiao bring them back and I will mail them together...

Yan Laoer laughed. He really treated Jiuxiao as a postman.

He looked at the majestic goshawk, which was looking around alertly to prevent anyone from approaching.

Finally, Dad, be careful!

Yan Laoer hurriedly wrote a reply letter, one to his daughter and one to his leader. He tied it carefully to Jiuxiao's legs and touched its feathers.

"Go!"

...

"Brother Zhou, you see we have come from far away, and our family is waiting for the money, can you help us pack it first?" Yan Laoer found Manager Zhou in the dark, smiling, feeling distressed, but still stuffing the money bag so neatly.

Yan Laoer kept building himself up in his heart: Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry, his daughter is so rich, it doesn't matter.

This is a mine in the suburbs.

It is also a coal mine registered by the government.

There is also an iron mine not far away, which is also a government mine.

The capital of Xizhou was set up for this reason, to facilitate management and transportation.

Manager Zhou looked in the direction of Yan Laoer and frowned slightly.

"Brother Yan, wait a moment, I will go to ask about the situation first." Manager Zhou said so.

Yan Laoer naturally nodded in agreement.

His eyes followed closely.

Manager Zhou called another young manager, his expression was very stern, and he seemed to scold him as soon as he came up.

The young steward had a bitter face and subconsciously glanced at him.

He kept explaining something.

Interestingly, this young steward was a person with rich body language. He spoke, but he not only moved his mouth, but also covered his hands and gestured.

Yan Laoer half guessed and half guessed, and roughly restored some of it.

It should be that a batch of coal needs to be transported over somewhere, and because these people came early, they thought they were causing trouble in the mine? In short, it affected their speed of loading coal.

Yan Laoer curled his lips.

It’s really unfair!

They obviously didn’t do anything well.

After everyone arrived, they took the initiative to help.

Finally saw the coal, like seeing their own relatives, so happy!

It’s just that the people in this mine are too slow to work.

They don’t let them help, loading is so slow, seeing them so anxious, so Yan Laoer found steward Zhou again and asked them to speed up.

Do you think he loves giving money so much?

Isn't this because I was forced to do nothing?

What's more, Xizhou has finally understood the word "drag" from top to bottom.

What Yan Laoer didn't know was that he had indeed been wronged.

Don't you want the little steward to hurry up?

He was almost dying of anxiety!

"You have forgotten, Chief Steward. We have to haul the coal we have prepared here... The escorting military officer has arrived a long time ago and is waiting outside. Who knew that the people from Guanzhou would come so early and block us? "It's not convenient for the military men to come in. We don't have enough cars. This is the problem. Seeing that tomorrow morning is the agreed time, I'm so worried!"

The little steward didn't dare to blame the superiors for not making thorough arrangements, and could only blame the people from Guanzhou for coming too early.

He inquired about it, and the prince said it was tomorrow, but Manager Zhou told him it was evening. How could it be the afternoon for these Guanzhou people!

It was also because he had a guilty conscience and knew that the person he wanted to trade was Beirong. He was scared to death. He thought he would be smuggling ore trading like before, but he didn't expect that this time it would fall on them.

Transporting coal from the official mine... His courage was almost frightened!

Manager Zhou raised his eyes and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? On the contrary, there is no 300 taels of silver here. Do we need to explain to the Guanzhou people where we want to transport coal from Xizhou? We transport ours, and they haul theirs." , The two are unrelated, but you are timid. If the time is delayed and something goes wrong, can you bear it? "

"It's all my fault. I'll call someone now..." The steward nodded with a grimace.

Manager Zhou was also worried about the Guanzhou people being here, so he didn't punish him too harshly. He just made a mental note to this guy, hum! Not useful enough!

"The people below are too slow. I'm afraid they won't be able to finish tonight. Brother Yan, why don't you wait until tomorrow..." Manager Zhou regretted that he shouldn't have agreed.

How could Yan Laoer let him say it? He immediately said with sincerity: "Brother Zhou, look at our people, they don't have any special skills, they just can work. Isn't it a waste to leave people like us unused? If you treat me as a brother, then just use me. Then, hurry up and call someone to help. First Help the brothers in Xizhou load their coal, and then load ours. We have been waiting for several days. If we don't miss this little time, we will stay up all night. Hey, this small job is not needed. It will be done in a few seconds. When you’re done, tell me, Brother Zhou, your brothers in Xizhou are also polite, and you don’t need us, so being polite means you’re nothing like an outsider..."

Yan Laoer shouted and greeted people, assigning people here and placing them there, and he finished assigning people in three clicks.

Guanzhou people work hard without sparing any effort.

This strength is really visible to the naked eye.

Manager Zhou's mouth twitched and he had no choice but to admit it.

Let's do it, it'll be over early.

Looking at the Guanzhou man's naivety, it's not like you can tell anything.

Besides, what they do is transport coal out of the mine.

Who knows where they are destined? To whom? !

Manager Zhou stared for a while, and when he saw the people from the relevant states joining in, the speed really accelerated, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Even his brother Yan ran over, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

It can be seen that he is really anxious.

Once the mind is relaxed, people will feel sleepy.

Seeing that nothing happened, Manager Zhou found a place to rest.

I don't dare to sleep to death, just squint for a while and take a nap.

Another thing, it's really cold outside.

He had only stood for a while, and his feet were almost frozen.

Yan Laoer secretly stared at the manager Zhou.

Seeing that he had gone to the house to warm up, he put down the thing in his hand and walked around pretending to be a supervisor.

Finding faults here, shouting and exerting force there, etc.

But he approached the bagged coal without leaving a trace.

If walking once is not enough, walk twice more.

After three rounds, he could roughly count how many bags of coal there were.

Really, Yan Laoer felt that he might have overthought it.

But in my heart, I felt vaguely that it was exactly what he had guessed.

This time, this amount.

This Xizhou...can't really be so bold, right?

Transporting coal from the official mine to trade with Beirong? ! ! !

However, considering that King Qi may have had more exaggerated ideas, these are not difficult to understand.

Compared with rebellion, selling coal to foreign enemies is nothing!

The Crown Prince is not here, but Manager Yan is still quite easy to talk to.

I heard he said he wanted to follow these convoys of coal loaded and see which direction they were going.

The person who was found said nothing and left immediately after receiving the order.

Yan Laoer and the rest of the group loaded up the truck until midnight before the man ran back through the snow.

The Xizhou soldiers were too lazy to even turn a corner, and they probably didn't think that the foolish Guild Leaders from Guanzhou were so thoughtful, so they went straight to the agreed-upon trading place.

Yan Laoer's face looked a little grim, and he asked about how many people there were in the escort convoy.

Finally relieved.

His daughter can eat such a small amount of people.

However, there is a big problem with the coal they are currently loading.

The number is not enough!

Yan Laoer was really irritable.

Selling it so expensive is not enough, Xizhou...it's too much to bully others!

The entire mine only had this coal, so much was taken away, and they bagged all the rest, not even half of it!

When the little steward saw this situation, he quickly hid.

Signaling everyone to go back and rest.

As soon as the people from Xizhou withdrew, the entire mine was empty, and they were the only ones left.

"Manager Yan, can we go back tomorrow?"

Except for Yan Laoer, no one noticed anything wrong. Although they had put in some effort, the coal was being pulled home. What was wrong with putting in some effort? It was really worrying to let them just watch. When they thought that they might be able to go back tomorrow, they were so happy.

"Yes, Manager Yan is still very capable. Otherwise, we would have to wait one more day."

Yan Laoer thought that if they waited one more day, the mine would not be able to collect enough coal for the amount they bought.

It was not important whether the King of Qi was illiterate or did it on purpose.

The most important thing now was to inform the prince of this matter and discuss countermeasures.

He looked at the happy men around him, and could not bear to tell them the truth, so he said: "You stay here to guard our coal, I will go back and report to the prince."

"Go, go, Manager Yan, don't worry, we will definitely keep an eye on it, and we guarantee that not a single bag is missing."

Yan Laoer was worried, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to ride Sanbao all the way.

The prince did not live in the city, and was also anxious. He found an inn outside the city to facilitate people to send messages back and forth.

It was already late at night, and it would be dawn soon.

When Yan Laoer came back at this time, Shi Yunyan felt something was wrong.

After listening to Yan Laoer saying that there was not enough coal in the mine, Shi Yunyan felt bitter in his mouth and the corners of his mouth were burning.

"Bengshu, pack up, let's go to the mine!"

Shi Yunyan didn't care about much at the moment. He wanted to go to the mine in person and check one bag at a time to see how much was missing!

He was determined to live in the mine.

So that the uncle, the King of Qi, would know that his nephew was not so easy to get rid of.

If he didn't give enough, he would stay in the mine and not leave!

...

Yan Laoer was also angry.

After returning to the mine with the prince, not only did he not stop them, but he also called people to move and lift them in a big way.

Count!

It was a huge count!

Count them all, and see what the people of Xizhou say!

Shi Yunyan's face was as gloomy as water. The Guanzhou soldiers who stayed behind realized that something was wrong. If the prince wanted to count, he didn't need to come in person, just tell the people below.

But he wouldn't act like this now.

This is obviously very angry.

Someone secretly asked Peng Shu and found out the reason.

He was almost furious!

Yan Laoer was irritated and walked around the mine alone.

Fengxue slapped him hard on the face.

He suddenly slapped himself hard.

"Yan Laoer, Yan Laoer, this is a lesson. Money can sometimes not work!"

A fire of evil burned.

Yan Laoer stunned the little manager of the mine.

He was dragged out of his bed and asked fiercely: "How much coal can you dig in your mine in a day? Tell me!"

The young manager saw that his eyes were red and his face was full of ferocity. He was so scared that he didn't dare to hide the number. This was a government mine and they didn't dare to falsify the output.

The coal traded with Beirong had to be replenished from the private mine afterwards. It was just a temporary embezzlement. On the books, they were clean and could not find any mistakes.

"That's it...that's it..." The young manager stuttered.

"What is it?" Yan Laoer shouted.

"We can't dig in this mine in winter!"

It's August, please guarantee the minimum monthly ticket~hehehe~(ω)~
