The rain was still dripping down. If the team members were relaxed last night and were happy to be able to rest, then I am a little worried today.

The ancients did not like rainy days, not only because it was troublesome to hold an umbrella and the roads were muddy, but also because it was easy to get sick in rainy days.

rumbling...

There was thunder in the rain. Looking at the thunder, the ears of the people who listened to it hurt. It can be seen that the rain will increase, and the rain will not be heard for a while. Fortunately, the place where they camp is more reliable, not flat, but slightly inclined, and will not accumulate water.

Qin Fang called Niu Da: "How long will the rain last for you?" He frowned. Even if he doesn't know how to watch the rain, he is from a farm family. He didn't like rainy days since he was a child. The elders will chant, and the children like them will understand it after listening to them more often. Moreover, when he was a child, he was also playful. When there were adults in the house on rainy days, he would not let him go out to play, so he really didn't like rainy days.

Niu Da looked at the rain and the weather, the cloudy sky with thunderstorms rolling in, like the face of an old man in his 70s and 80s, it was really ugly. He thought about it and said a rough figure: "There are about four or five days left."

Qin Fang listened, and his heart sank.

Niu Da said again: "Maybe it won't go down all the time, it will stop for a while and then go down again."

Qin Fang nodded to show that he knew. Afterwards, he went to look for Kun Shi, but couldn't find it, he saw Tao Shan: "Where's Kun Shi?"

"Go back to your lord, Captain Kun brought some people to the county to buy **** and brown sugar. My wife said that looking at the situation, the ones I bought yesterday are definitely not enough. I have to drink three bowls a day for everyone." Tao Shan said, "Captain Kun said, Looking at the situation on this rainy day, the **** brown sugar in the county may not be able to meet our needs, and he may go to a neighboring county to purchase it."

Qin Fang snorted and stopped asking about it. He turned to look for Yang Xiaowei.

Yang Xiaowei was helping the doctor. Everyone was in the tent on this rainy day, and the doctor was the busiest.

Qin Fang looked at the busy doctor and the people waiting for the medicine, and a trace of unease flashed in his heart. He said to Yang Xiaowei: "Niu Da said that it is estimated that the rain will last for four or five days. If it is four or five days, the medicinal materials in the county may not meet our needs. Lao Yang, take someone to buy medicinal materials. Wait. Wait... how much is the current military salary?" Before they set off, the imperial court allocated a sum of money. But when the money was used to purchase food and medicinal materials, it was paid in advance. Of course, when everyone receives food and medicine, they also pay on the spot.

It's just that the money allocated by the imperial court is not much, and the grains and medicinal materials are stored in large quantities, and the money is not recovered so quickly.

Yang Xiaowei was in charge of the money, and was about to say that the money was cautious. Today, when Kunshi went to buy **** brown sugar, he had already received a sum. At present, the money they have on hand is not enough to store food and medicinal materials.

Yang Xiaowei: "There are still about two silver coins." The court gave a total of one thousand taels. The 1,000 taels of silver were the food expenses of the soldiers, not including the barbarians and the others, but when they purchased food and medicinal materials in advance, they were all included.

Now the money is not enough, what should I do?

Seeing that Qin Fang was silent, Yang Xiaowei asked again, "Sir, what should I do if I don't have enough money?"

Qin Fang was silent for a while: "If you don't have enough money, you need to raise money. Find a way to raise it." But how to raise it? Counting on others for nothing? dream. Qin Fang thought for a while and went to find Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan is embroidering the hijab in the tent, and she has nothing to do with her at the moment, so she can only pass the time with the embroidered hijab.

As soon as Qin Fang came in, the curtain was lifted and a cold wind came in.

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan hurriedly asked Mama Lian to bring a bowl of warm brown sugar water: "Drink it quickly, warm up your body, and replenish your strength."

Qin Fang took it and drank it. He drank it in one breath, and gave the bowl to Mother Lian. He said, "Yanyan, I'm going to the county seat, and I'll be back in the afternoon."

Yang Haiyan was stunned. Qin Fang would not leave the brigade unless it was necessary. After all, if an accident happened in the brigade, he would not be in charge, and the problem would be troublesome. That's why Yang Haiyan was so surprised when Qin Fang said that he would leave the brigade to go to the county seat. "What is Xianggong going to do in the county seat?"

Qin Fang did not hide: "This time the barbarians were placed, the imperial court gave 1,000 taels of silver for the soldiers' salaries, but now there are only 200 taels of silver left, the soldiers' **** brown sugar water, their daily meals. The fees are all deducted from the army salaries. If they go further, I am afraid that the army salaries will not be enough. According to Niu Da, it will take four or five days to stop here, so I went to the county town to find a way to make money. "

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan jokingly said, "Don't you want to use the soldiers to go to the county town as coolies to earn money?"

Qin Fang felt that his daughter-in-law looked down on him too much. Although working as a coolie to earn money is a serious job, can the few pennies earned can solve the current situation?

Yang Haiyan felt Qin Fang's dissatisfaction, and it was interesting to see him staring at her. He bent his mouth and said, "Then how do you want to make money?"

Qin Fangcai didn't say: "I'm not sure at the moment, I just have thoughts in my heart. I'll talk about it when I go to the county seat. Yanyan, I'll leave it to you for the time being. If I have something to ask for Yang Xiaowei or Lu Xiaowei, I'll go. Go and come back."

Yang Haiyan didn't get to the bottom of it either. Everything was a little mysterious and there were surprises. Besides, she was really curious about how Qin Fang wanted to make money. "Okay, don't worry, I'm here."

"Um."

Qin Fang took ten soldiers to the county. Compared with the barren mountains and wild mountains, the county is equally silent. Speaking of which, at this moment in the county, there is still no liveliness coming from the campsite of the brigade. After all, 3,000 people gathered at the campsite of the brigade, while the people in the county town were scattered.

It was raining heavily, even though Qin Fang and the others were wearing mink clothes, they were still a little wet.

If it is normal, the people who come in and out of the county gate must be very lively. But today, the gate of the county town is desolate.

People entering and leaving the county town are barely visible.

When Qin Fang and others arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the guards at the city gate: "Who?"

Qin Fang took out his customs clearance ultimatum. He went to Yunxiang County from the border, and naturally he had a customs clearance ultimatum.

The guard read the customs clearance ultimatum and let it go.

Qin Fang took people into the county and assigned tasks to five soldiers. He took the other five soldiers to the inn. He chose a more ordinary inn, which did not look as luxurious as an ordinary restaurant, but it was also clean.

It is rare that there are guests coming on a heavy rainy day, so Xiao Er has a good spirit to entertain: "Welcome to a few guests, may I ask if the guests are staying or eating?"

Qin Fang said: "Eating, each person has a bowl of shredded pork noodles, the speed is faster, we are in a hurry."

Xiao Er: "Okay, please wait a moment, guests, we will serve things very quickly." Xiao Er said, and then shouted towards the front, "Six bowls of pork noodles."

Qin Fang continued: "A few more dishes. By the way, Xiao Er, we encountered robbers on the way here, and a lot of belongings were robbed. May I ask where is the county government here, we have to go later. Reporter."

Xiao Er was startled when he heard this, he looked around, and then: "Shh..." Fortunately, there is no one in the inn at the moment, otherwise what should I do if something goes wrong?

Seeing this, Qin Fang couldn't help but doubt: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Er lowered his voice and said: "Several lords, it is forbidden to talk about robbers in our county. Once you mention robbers, be careful that you won't survive tonight."

And such things? Qin Fang and several soldiers glanced at each other, and everyone knew that this was too funny.

One of the soldiers said: "How do you say this? This is the county seat. Could it be that the robbers are still so powerful? Can they still enter the city to kill people? Besides, the nobles in the capital can be discussed, so why can't the robbers die? ?"

Another soldier said: "That's right, why can't we say robbers? Not only did I say it today, but I also killed him."

Xiao Er sighed and said helplessly: "Several lords, there is no way for the little ones. In the past, there were people in our county discussing robbers, but later, as long as someone discussed robbers, serious ones would be killed, and light ones would also be killed. It will break arms and legs, and over time, no one will dare to discuss the robbers openly."

Qin Fang asked, "Then your county government doesn't care?"

Xiao Er said: "The county government was in charge at first, but I couldn't find anything, how to manage it?"

Qin Fang: "The county government didn't look for robbers?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "What's the use of finding it? No one has proved that the robbers did it, and no one has evidence, and the county government can't do anything about it? The county magistrate said that although he is an official, he is an official. He has to use evidence to do things. If there is no evidence, he can't do anything about the robbers. Moreover, there are hundreds of robbers, and our county government has only a few dozen people, less than a hundred people, and can't beat the robbers. It's just...

The dissatisfied guests said, We all know that the robbers are bad enough to kill people without blinking an eye, but what is the way to beat them? So we can only watch and wait, fortunately, the robbers did not come to the county to make trouble. "

Is this how good it is?

Qin Fang: "Don't the county magistrate ask the court for help?"

Xiao Er glanced at Qin Fang several times, probably thinking that Qin Fang's words were a bit funny: "Master, this is not something we ordinary people can manage."

Qin Fang thought about it and said, "Then do you know where the robbers are? We were robbed, so we can't forget it like this."

Xiao Er said: "I advise you to forget it. Look at how many of you are, how do you compare with others? Robbers are not easy to mess with."

The soldier snorted: "If you tell me, just say it. Where does so much nonsense come from?"

Xiao Er was taken aback and felt that this person was very popular. Since they were going to die, he was told that he stopped him, so he would not stop him. Xiao Er said angrily: "It's at Qingyuguan in Wulipo outside the city." Wulipo is five miles away from the county seat.

When Qin Fang ate the noodles, the five soldiers who were originally separated also came. Qin Fang also ordered five bowls of noodles for them, and asked some information by the way. After they had eaten, Qin Fang went back with people.
