Three days later, ssengers from Blackstone City delivered the ransom paynt, including ten thousand guan in copper coins and so salt, iron, and food. Surprisingly, the person in charge of delivering the ransom was Lu Heng. The handover process went smoothly, and after receiving Shouli as paynt, Lu Heng did not return to Blackstone City but went straight to Youzhou City with Shouli. This showed how anxious Xue Banchuan was.
During the handover process, Cheng Dalei could hear Lu Heng grinding his teeth. There was no doubt that if he had the chance, Lu Heng would take care of the Toad Camp first.
This ti gap was an opportunity for Toad Camp to develop.
Perhaps it was the last opportunity.
That afternoon, Cheng Dalei erected a notice board made of wooden boards at the foot of Toad Camp. The contract, signed and sealed by Xue Banchuan, was pasted on it, which stated that anyone passing through Toad Camp must pay Toad Camp a 20% interest, and in return, Toad Camp would ensure their safe passage out of Black Bull Mountains.
On the sa day, Cheng Dalei had Xu Shenji and Lin Shaoyu ride horses around Black Bull Mountains, banging drums to make sure that every mountain stronghold could hear the news.
Ding ding!
Ding ding!
When this sound ca from the foot of the mountain, Gao Feihu was driving a donkey to grind grains. He was startled and dropped the winnowing basket to the ground.
There is good news again!
After experiencing several such incidents in a row, Gao Feihu had developed a psychological shadow. What kind of trick was Toad Camp playing this ti?
What did they post this ti? Gao Feihu asked his younger brother.
They didnt post anything this ti they said they all posted it outside of Toad Camp. If you want to know, you have to go there to see, Gao Feibao had just returned from outside.
Send a brother to take a look, or better yet, go yourself. Go quickly and co back quickly. Gao Feihu knew it wasnt sothing good, but he still wanted to know what the Toad Gang was up to.
These past few days, Gao Feihu had been eyeing the Toad Gangs wealth with envy. But there was nothing he could do about it. He knew he couldnt rob Luheng, let alone win against him. But Cheng Dalei did it, not only that, but he did it without any casualties.
No matter what, Gao Feihu had to give Cheng Dalei credit. He couldnt do what Cheng Dalei did. He had heard that Chengs son wasnt capable of anything, that he was just a drunkard who wasted food and drink. But when Chengs father died, he ca out and proved everyone wrong. He fought two battles in a row and did a great job
Gao Feihu was also envious of Cheng Daleis gains. Sotis he thought about robbing the Toad Gang, but he still rembered the miserable fate of Luheng. He didnt think Luheng deserved such a fate, but he said it himself. Could the Flying Tiger Gang escape this fate if they attacked the Toad Gang?
So now he just thought about it and looked for opportunities in the future.
When he was thinking about these things, a long ti had passed. Gao Feihu frowned: Why hasnt he co back yet?
When Gao Feibao arrived at the Toad Mountain, he saw a lot of people gathered under a wooden board, all bandits from various mountains and gangs, discussing sothing.
Chili What is chili? Is it the sa as Sichuan peppercorn?
After harvest, every kilogram of chili can be exchanged for one kilogram of grain. How much chili can be produced
They say its at least over a thousand kilograms per mu, and one kilogram of chili can be exchanged for one kilogram of grain. Thats a yield of over a thousand kilograms per mu. Its impossible!
Gao Feibao listened for a while and glanced at the wooden board. He could barely read, so he could understand what was written on it.
It ant that anyone who wanted to grow chili could co to the Toad Gang to get chili seedlings. When the chili was harvested, the Toad Gang would buy them at the price of one kilogram of chili for one kilogram of grain.
This sounds a bit far-fetched!
Normally, the bandits only grew crops like wheat, soybeans, and millet in the fields. If they planted sorghum, they could get a yield of 300 kilograms per mu at most. If what the Toad Gang said was true, wouldnt they be able to harvest over a thousand kilograms of grain per mu?
High school sophomore, what do you think of this matter? Is it reliable?
Its reliable. Why wouldnt it be? I think everyone should trust the people of the Toad Camp. They can yield thousands of pounds of crops per acre. With a few acres, a village can feed themselves.
Then Ill listen to the second in command and go get so chili seedlings.
Co back! Cant you tell that the high school sophomore is joking with you?
Haha, this kid is so innocent. Gao Feibao laughed happily.
Hes from the Wild Boar Forest. Soone said. I dont think its true. Ive dread about this kind of thing before, but Ive never seen it happen for real.
By the way, does anyone believe them? Gao Feibao asked.
Yeah, why not? Little White Wolf from Xinghua Ridge took so, and so did the Bald Hill actually, if it wasnt for the second in commands words, we would also want to try it.
Go then, why not? A pie has fallen from the sky, why not take advantage of it?
Second in command, stop joking around. While its not too cold, we still want to plant soybeans. We cant delay working on our good fields.
Understood. Were just a small group, we cant blindly follow the Toad Camps lead. As for Xinghua Ridge and Bald Hill, lets just wish them good luck.
Everyone burst out laughing and gradually dispersed. Only a few families took so chili seedlings, and Gao Feibao himself took so, not for planting but just to see what they were.
Back at the Feihu Gang, he told Gao Feihu what had happened.
Big brother, I got half an acre of seedlings. Do you want to find a place to plant them?
Gao Feihu shook his head. Isnt this just nonsense? We can only plant one crop of beans this year. We dont have any land to spare for you to ss around with.
How about you give a small piece of land, and Ill see what grows from it? Gao Feibao suggested.
Gao Feihu glared at him and impatiently said, Theres an empty piece of land in front of the hall. You can clean it up and plant them there.
Cheng Dalei didnt expect what happened today. He thought that with the purchase price of one pound of grain for one pound of chili, the chili seedlings would be in high demand. But only a few people ca to take chili powder from him, leaving him disappointed.
Although there was no news from the city, Cheng Dalei believed that the chili peppers were effective. Otherwise, they wouldnt have swept the country in such a short ti.
The problem was, why hadnt he received any news from Su Ying yet? Cheng Dalei thought that he should go to the city to check things out. First, to see Su Yings situation, second, now that the gang had money, he could buy so slaves and expand their population, and the third reason
He had been in this world for so ti now, and had never stepped out of this poor mountain valley. What did the city look like? He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
On a sunny morning, Cheng Dalei put on the scholars robe that he received as a reward from the system, brought a waist knife, and rode on a thin horse with Xu Shenji.
He went up to the city!
