Chapter 208 The big knife that was stored happened to be

Bai Manshan had already thought about the use of the money and how much to use on the way.

He was not worried that Shuiqing and Fan Jin would swallow his property. If you don't trust someone, don't trust him. Some people are trustworthy.

Shuiqing continued to report: "Later, Sister Hu Yu brought eight more boxes. Together with the box of gold bars you brought for the first time, I counted two boxes of gold bars, three boxes of silver ingots, and the rest are mostly jewelry and jade.

Should we take all of them away tomorrow when there are more people or in batches?"

For this batch of gold, silver, and jewelry, she spent a lot of money and opened several storage boxes in the mall!

She was afraid that they would be stolen if they were placed in the house.

Now that Bai Manshan has transported the jewelry, the storage box can be vacated and used, and it will not be wasted.

Bai Manshan shook his head: "Don't touch the gold bars and jewelry, just take out the silver, and take out sixty ingots of fine silver at ten taels per ingot."

Shuiqing got up and went to the main house, took out a cloth bag, and picked up sixty silver ingots from the storage box in the mall and put them in.

Carrying the heavy cloth bag to the teahouse, she asked: "Do you want to find a smaller box or basket to hide it?"

The cloth bag can still print the outline of the silver, which is inconvenient to walk outside.

Bai Manshan took it happily, "No, I will use it later!"

Seeing the confusion of the two, he carefully calculated the accounts: "Although the people I brought have bought the indenture according to the convention and do not need to pay the indenture silver, the affection of supporting each other along the way is different after all. I plan to give each family twenty taels of silver, except for Hong Daniu's family, as a little foundation for each family to start a new life here;

Hong Daniu saved me, and I think it is most practical to repay his life-saving grace with silver! He has two sons, and they will need silver to get married and build houses in the future. I plan to give him one hundred taels."

Hong Daniu Mancang Manku has always firmly believed that he saved the three of them, and he will definitely not accept more silver. He thinks one hundred taels is not much, and he should accept it if he persuades them.

There are ten people from the Hong family, plus six from the other three families, which is sixteen.

"It takes four to five days to go back and forth to Baijiazhuang in Nanning Prefecture. One man earns one hundred coins a day, ten men earn one tael of silver a day, five days earns five taels of silver, and sixty men earn thirty taels of silver for a five-day round trip."

After the flood, the road was extremely difficult to walk on, especially with the bandits. The one hundred coins a day not only included the labor but also the degree of danger, so it was not easy to earn.

After counting the money, there were only nineteen, and it was not very convenient to carry forty-one silver ingots.

Bai Manshan took out half of the thirty silver ingots from the cloth bag and pushed them in front of Fan Jin, asking sincerely: "Brother Jin, I know it's not peaceful outside, but I still need your help to go to the prefecture to see if you can buy a batch of forged swords or have the iron shop rush to make a batch?

It doesn't matter how good or sharp it is, as long as it's a sword!"

Hu Yu used to say that a broadsword is the best, which can deter the enemy, but if there is none, a sword is always better than bare hands.

The price of expedited service is naturally different from that of normal days, and it is possible that it is several times more expensive.

Shuiqing:.....This is not a coincidence, is it?

Fan Jin's dark eyes were full of surprise, and he went to see Shuiqing first.

Last year, they heard Bai Manshan say that the emperor would reduce the power of the vassal kings, and they were worried that the vassal kings would rebel, so they bought a batch of unsharpened swords from the mall and put them in the warehouse, waiting for the right time to use them.

After the father-in-law came, especially when it was not very peaceful outside, he asked the father-in-law to help sharpen the blades when he was free.

The excuse to the father-in-law was that Bai Manshan kept it in his house!

Shuiqing couldn't help thinking that now was not only the right time, but also the reason was ready.

Fan Jin asked with his eyes whether he would say it or not?

Bai Manshan looked at the two people's eyes, and his old face blushed, and he coughed to remind them.

Hum, he is such a big living person here! If you have any love words, at least wait until he leaves.

Otherwise, wait until Hu Yu comes!

Shui Qing suppressed his smile and said the big knives stored in the warehouse: "Last year, after you talked about reducing the feudal system, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to buy them when the chaos really happened, so we bought them back little by little. We stockpiled about fifty or sixty? Or sixty or seventy?

We were also worried that there would be panic if there was no chaos, and we were also afraid that people in the village who were not on good terms with our family would go to the government to stir up trouble, so we didn't tell anyone;

Only my family knew about it, and we told them that Sister Hu Yu sent them over for temporary storage! Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

It just so happened that Li Hu Yu sent several things over, and because they were gold, silver and jewelry, they were always mysterious every time. The children only knew that they came, but they didn't know why they came or what they sent. And their parents only came when it was raining heavily, and they wouldn't say anything because they were knives.

Bai Manshan opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was sent a pillow just because he was sleepy!

No, Shui Qing's family is their benefactor!

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not a coincidence, it's because you are prepared for danger! Well, let's tell others that we put it here temporarily, and we can take it out and use it tomorrow, and the silver will still belong to you."

No need to go out to buy it, it saves trouble, and the silver cannot be less.

Shui Qing pushed the silver back intact: "We didn't treat you politely with the people you brought outside. You want to pay for the dozens of knives we stockpiled. Are we greedy for money?"

Bai Manshan understood instantly and didn't refuse. He directly put the silver ingot back into the cloth bag and said happily: "Then I will find a bamboo basket to put the silver tomorrow."

After the matter was settled, Bai Manshan could finally rest assured.

Not only him, but also the people who came with him, had to have a good rest.

More than half a month has passed since the rainstorm, and they only had a real meal this morning.

During this half month, they experienced the destruction of their homes, the death of their family members, and the departure from the hometown where they grew up and moved to a new place. Everyone needs to relax and rest thoroughly.

Hu Mu and her group have already cleaned up the house they live in.

Jiang Hehu moved to Ling Ran's house, and Bai Manshan and Bai Ziqian lived in the same room. There were not enough beds in the vacated room. Fortunately, it was summer now, and the weather was hot, so they could sleep on the bluestone floor with a mat.

The house was fumigated with wormwood, there were no mosquitoes, and the floor was clean and fresh. Compared with the damp and rotten along the way, it couldn't be better.

More than 20 people originally thought that they would have difficulty falling asleep like when they were on the road, but they fell into a deep dream in a short while.

Shuiqing thought that Bai Manshan would take these people to transport potatoes back and forth tomorrow, and it would take at least four or five days to go back and forth. The journey was difficult, so they had to replenish their bodies!

Fan Jin went to the village to do what Bai Manshan had asked.

Bai Ziqian and Hu Wenhua also went along.

Bai Ziqian wanted to help his father, and Hu Wenhua was just joining in the fun - he had already decided to go along tomorrow, and now he went to see the companions who would go with him tomorrow.

Not only did he go, but his father also went along, with a hundred coins a day, and a round trip of four or five days would be four or five hundred coins, and two people would spend nearly one or two taels of silver each time they went out!

Who could resist not going?
