Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

On this day, five ox carts set off from Heishui Town with a full load of goods.

Accompanied by these five vehicles, there is a guard team of fifty people.

The leader is Zhang He himself. He bought the shop of Sufa in Dehua City earlier. After renovation, it is ready to open.

This is the first shipment of shipments sold in the past.

There are no talents who can make pastries in Heishui Town, so this shop will mainly sell sweet potato products from now on.

Last year, the 100 mu of land in Qifeng Mountain produced a total of 300,000 catties of sweet potatoes, most of which were dried into dried sweet potatoes.

In order to open the store this time, the variety will not be too single, Zhang He also made some fried sweet potato chips.

To make fried sweet potato chips, you need to cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices, then scald them with boiling water, and then dry them in the sun.

When frying, use the screened river sand to stir fry in a pot, then put the dried sweet potato slices into it and fry.

The fried sweet potato chips are fragrant and crispy, and the rural children in Zhang He's previous life liked to eat them very much.

It's a pity that there is no oil, otherwise you can fry some sweet potato chips.

The convoy traveled all the way and was stopped at a bandit checkpoint.

These bandits who set up checkpoints along the way disappeared for a while during the turmoil last year, and now they have reappeared.

Ma Gan went to the front and communicated with the bandits for a while, but it seemed to have no effect. The other party insisted on charging 10% of the toll, otherwise they would not let them pass.

If one or two people pass by on horseback at ordinary times, they usually don't provoke them, for fear of encountering noble masters who can't afford to provoke them.

But it was obviously a caravan in front of him, pulling the goods in a five-ox cart, even if it only received 10%, it was a lot of money.

After the communication just now, the bandits already knew that this caravan was just a local rich man from Heishui Town, and they had no background in Dehua City.

So this group of bandits refused to let them pass.

A bandit leader with a scar on his face raised his sword and shouted, "If you talk too much, I'll rob you all, and I won't leave you a single hair."

Zhang He rode forward, glanced at the bandit leader, and only uttered two words coldly:

"killed!"

Hearing this, Fat Tiger, who had been displeased with the other party for a long time, jumped up and slashed down from the top of the bandit leader's head.

When the fat tiger fell to the ground and retracted the knife, the body of the bandit leader was evenly separated from the center and fell to the sides.

Although Fat Tiger is young, he has the fastest training speed among all the guards. Now he has practiced "Thirteen Swords of Chasing Souls" to the sixth form.

At the same time that Fat Tiger beheaded the bandit leader, fifty guards also shot at the bandits blocking the way ahead.

In just a moment, the group of bandits were dead, some fled, and the slow ones were captured alive.

Among this group of bandits, only a few bandit leaders have practiced some three-legged cat kung fu, and the rest are all refugees recruited on the spot, how can they be the opponents of the guards.

"Young master, we still caught a few alive ones, what should we do?"

Ma Gan escorted a few dejected bandits to ask Zhang He for instructions.

"Ask where their bandit den is?"

Hearing this, Ma Gan's eyes lit up. He had done such a thing as raiding the bandit's lair before, and it was very oily.

"I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting all, masters, please spare me!"

These bandits didn't intend to play the game of being unyielding at all, and started begging for mercy before Ma Gan even made a move.

Several bandits scrambled to reveal the location of the old den, and it turned into a quick answer contest, for fear that they would be robbed of the limelight if they answered too slowly.

Zhang He left 20 people to guard the oxcart, and he led 30 people to escort a few bandits, and went to their bandit stronghold.

Anyway, everyone is killed, so it's better to grab it by the way.

The bandit's stronghold was not far away, and they had already arrived after only a quarter of an hour's walk.

The head of the village in the bandits' cottage heard that his subordinates had been killed.

At this moment, they are leading a group of Lala to kill down the mountain.

The two sides happened to meet each other halfway up the mountain, and this village lord did have some strength. Fat Tiger fought him for more than a dozen rounds, and it was even a tie.

In the end, the ten guards surrounded and beat up together, and then the Dazhai master was cut into pieces.

These days, there is no such thing as fighting alone with the morals of the rivers and lakes. The only way to fight is that the big guys stand shoulder to shoulder, with many enemies and few, and a group fight wins.

After killing the head of the great village, the rest of them all scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared without a trace.

A group of people entered the cottage, searched the houses inside one by one, and found a lot of property.

The bandits usually looted scattered copper coins, filled ten boxes, about a thousand catties, and a rough estimate should have more than one hundred coins.

In addition, a lot of food and cloth were harvested, all of which were ill-gotten gains collected by bandits blocking the way. Zhang He ordered people to confiscate them all and take them away.

In this way, the burden of their team increased by tens of thousands of catties for food, cloth and copper coins.

There is no way, the bandit Lala who was caught just now can only act as a coolie temporarily, and also temporarily recruit some passers-by from the road to help deliver the goods.

The number of teams doubled in an instant, so that when they rushed to the next bandit level, they were stopped again, wanting to get 10% of it.

So Zhang He's trip was originally just to deliver goods, but in the end it turned into an operation to suppress bandits.

All the bandits on this road were wiped out by them.

At the same time, this battle was also an opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the escort team, so Zhang He was watching from the beginning to the end, and did not take action himself.

Sure enough, the guards did not disappoint him, and did not disappoint the piles of food and money he had spent.

Due to the delay of suppressing the bandits, they had to rest on the road for one night.

When they arrived at Dehua City the next day, together with the coolies recruited along the way, the team already had a mighty four to five hundred people.

This team of four to five hundred people was very conspicuous in the city, and naturally many people along the way asked about their origins. This was a wave of advertisements for his unopened shop.

Zhang He asked people to move all these items into the store, and then paid a sum of money to each of the hundreds of coolies.

Counting that he wiped out five bandit dens along the way, the wealth he captured should be more than a thousand taels of silver.

However, it should also offend some forces because of this. These bandits are able to block the road and rob in a fair manner, and they must have something to do with other forces behind the scenes.

He directly cut off other people's money this time, and it is inevitable to attract people's hatred.

But he has no choice in this kind of thing, and business exchanges from Heishui Town to Dehua City will definitely be indispensable in the future.

Could it be that he didn't resist and let the opponent exploit him layer by layer.

"Young master, how do you deal with these supplies?"

Wen Sheng, who used to tell fortunes on the streets of Heishui Town, was arranged by Zhang He to be the shopkeeper here. He had arrived here more than ten days ago to make some preparations before opening.

"Register and record these materials, keep the food and eat it slowly, and sell all other cloth and silk."

The day after the goods were delivered, the store was ready to open for business.
