Six Hundred and Sixty Eighth, the Record of Bandits
When Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin came to this small town in the northwest, they didn't hide the fact that they were rich, and they deliberately showed a very rich appearance.
When they expressed that they wanted to spend the night to recuperate, one family even vacated their own house for them, and then the whole family went to live in a relative's house, just because it could make a lot of money from Ren Xiaosu.
The neighbor next to him saw that the two were very talkative, and immediately brought food to Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, and even killed one of his own chickens, stewed it and sent it to them.
Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, did not refuse anyone who came, and they all met at the door, paid, and then brought them into the house for Yang Xiaojin to eat.
Not to mention, the local chicken soup in this mountain is really delicious.
After closing the door, Yang Xiaojin said while drinking chicken soup, "Are you planning to tell them that you are rich, and then wipe out all the horse bandits here after they do something?"
Ren Xiaosu looked out from the crack of the door, and many refugees from the town outside were quietly discussing not far from them, he said: "You have also seen, there are so many of them, if we want to kill them directly, they will not Just run away, let's not go all over the mountains and plains to catch them, it's just the two of them, if we can catch one-fifth of them, it's not bad."
Yang Xiaojin asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Didn't you agree to declare that you are brother and sister before, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Didn't I think that the two of us are not like brother and sister, what if it is said that brother and sister are cheating on each other," Ren Xiaosu muttered.
Yang Xiaojin raised her eyebrows, saying that she was more like a husband and wife: "I didn't promise you anything."
Ren Xiaosu looked at her: "I went to Qinghe University to vent my anger for you. You said that the person you like is not a flower in the greenhouse, so I killed so many gangsters, and then said that I am the person you like."
"Wait," Yang Xiaojin heard this for the first time, she paused for a long time before saying; "I just said it casually, obviously you liked me first."
Ren Xiaosu smiled honestly, "It's all the same."
Yang Xiaojin found out that Ren Xiaosu was usually very shameless, but he just kept talking about it, and his actual actions were as cowardly as ever.
"They don't know about our situation now, and I'm afraid they won't do anything for a while," Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "But I always feel that this town is a bit strange, and it doesn't look like a horse bandit at all. ah."
However, at this moment, a group of people came back from outside the town, and all the refugees in the town rushed up: "Lei Zi, I heard that you took people to the north to do business with people on the grassland. How about it? Harvest?"
Su Lei smiled and patted the fur on his shoulder: "Look, what is this?"
When some refugees saw the shiny fur, their eyes turned green. Some people wanted to touch it, but Su Lei and others avoided it.
Su Lei scolded with a smile: "This is the goods that the gold master gave us on credit. It is the hero of the grassland. If you touch it, you won't be able to pay for it."
Although Ren Xiaosu closed the door in the room, he could hear the movement outside clearly: "Grassland? Xiaojin, do you know anything about grasslands? You haven't seen it before."
"The prairie is quite chaotic. There are nomads who fight and kill themselves. Occasionally, they will go south to loot factories or refugees near the 176 barrier, but they rarely go further south," Yang Xiaojin explained after thinking for a while. : "However, the tribes on the prairie have not been to the Central Plains for several years, so that everyone has almost forgotten them. Moreover, there is no strong military force on the prairie, and it should still be in the era of cold weapons. In the hands of a few, there is nothing to fear."
"Then why didn't the Central Plains go and beat them down?" Ren Xiaosu asked suspiciously. Hearing what Yang Xiaojin said, the grassland people's combat effectiveness seemed to be very weak.
"It's not easy to fight," Yang Xiaojin shook her head: "Let's not talk about things like the unaccustomed climate and unfamiliar terrain. The main reason is that the cattle, sheep and horses over there have evolved very powerfully. They can still fight when they come to the Central Plains, but When people from the Central Plains go to the north, they want to hide, but the consortium can’t catch them at all. Unless there is a certain consortium willing to fight with them, otherwise this is a thankless task.”
Ren Xiaosu understood. On the one hand, it was because of the mobility of the nomads. The armored traveling army in the Central Plains had an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
On the other hand, there are no resources on the grasslands. The biggest resource is beef and mutton. Since there is no big threat on the grasslands, there is no need for everyone to mobilize so many troops to target the northern grasslands. In case other consortia take advantage of it again Not so good.
"However," Yang Xiaojin changed the subject: "The Central Plains has always restricted and sanctioned the North, prohibiting all people from selling arms to the North, so as to avoid any new problems."
Ren Xiaosu wondered: "I understand this, but they don't have tanks or armored vehicles. If you give them guns, they won't be able to make any trouble. Don't you say that the age of firearms is the end of cavalry?"
"No, this is a misunderstanding of many people," Yang Xiaojin explained: "In fact, a small half of the top ten powerful empires in human history are cavalry empires in the age of firearms. No. Later, the cavalry was eliminated because the mobility of the horse was lowered by modern technology, but if the horse also evolved, no one would know what the result would be until they fought.”
As Yang Xiaojin said, if the grassland people have hot weapons now, they are not sure whether they can fight anyone, so there is no need to continue the discussion.
I only heard people outside saying: "Lei Zi, it seems that all the goods you bought by selling pots and irons have been sold out?"
Su Lei smiled and said: "Of course, and the hero on the grassland is very generous."
"Then if this is the case, why don't you bring everyone together to make money," a shrill voice shouted, "It's not easy to be a horse bandit, why don't we all go into business with you, Su Lei."
But Su Lei laughed and said, "Li Mazi, what did you say when you were asked to join the gang before? Didn't you say that doing business with grassland people is unreliable? You also said that they have no money and are barbaric. Now it's a bit of a hassle to want to join the gang. Is it late?"
"Lei Zi, you can't say that. We all grew up in the same town as fellow villagers, so why don't you give us a hand?"
Su Lei calmly replied, "No."
Finally, there was a good way out, Su Lei did not allow anyone in the town to mess up his business.
Suddenly, the thin voice asked: "Hey, where is Wang Ergou? Didn't he go with you? Why didn't he come back?"
