The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

As the grain was carried into the big village, everyone in the water village was boiling!

Bags of grain were placed in the big village.

There were corn, grains, and even bacon and salt.

Although in Tang Jian's opinion, these were all coarse grains.

But for people of this era, this was already the best grain!

Looking at these grains, everyone's eyes were shining and they were so excited that they couldn't speak.

Only the thirty followers showed a smug expression on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Tang Jian nodded secretly with satisfaction, and then said to Fu Tong:

"Captain Fu, what are you still standing there for?"

"Why don't you send someone to move all this grain to the back kitchen, and take some salt and meat to cook, and reward the brothers well."

Fu Tong was originally in shock.

He couldn't believe that in such a difficult time, someone would actually come to his rescue and send him so much grain.

He was really about to give up.

A group of water bandits, if they couldn't rob the river, they would lose their source of livelihood.

They only rely on fishing to make a living, but because of their status, even if they catch fish, they cannot go to the city to trade.

What have the brothers been through over the years?

Seeing that the savior has finally arrived, Fu Tong's tight string loosened.

After laughing a few times, he burst into tears.

The brothers in the village also shed tears, but they were more joyful.

Suddenly, Fu Tong stopped crying, wiped away his tears with his big hands, knelt on one knee in front of Tang Jian, clasped his hands and said:

"Sir, you just said that you want to lead us to get rid of the bad reputation of water bandits and make achievements. Is this true?"

Tang Jian replied: "Absolutely true."

Fu Tong was still a little worried, so he asked: "I dare to ask how you will lead us to make achievements?"

Tang Jian listened and said: "This matter is a long story, why don't you and I find a place to talk in detail."

Fu Tong quickly got up and asked the little leader to move the food back to the kitchen, and ordered more food.

Then he respectfully invited Tang Jian to the tent for a detailed discussion.

In the tent, Tang Jian told Fu Tong about forming a mercenary army.

Fu Tong agreed immediately without even considering it.

After all, this way of making money is many times more noble than being a pirate.

Fu Tong called the main leaders of the village on the spot and announced that he would give the position of leader to Tang Jian, asking Tang Jian to lead everyone to make achievements.

Fu Tong also said: "I can also contact my colleagues on the river. In recent years, the Sun family in Jiangdong has gradually become more powerful and has firmly established the six counties of Jiangdong. They have repeatedly sent troops to sweep away mountain bandits and pirates. The lives of my colleagues are not easy."

"As long as you increase their treatment a little, most of them will come to join."

After listening, Tang Jian happily agreed.

However, problems followed.

With the increase in population, the money given by Gan Ning will soon be used up, and funds will soon be in short supply!

Tang Jian has to recruit soldiers while finding ways to make money to support the soldiers.

After thinking about it, Tang Jian decided to take the remaining box of gold and silver with Fu Tong and go to Danyang City to see the situation first.

If possible, it would be a source of income to buy a few stores and do some business.

After all, Tang Jian had read time-travel novels before, and the protagonists in them made a lot of money by making paper, distilling white wine, making soap, purifying refined salt, etc.

Tang Jian also wanted to try these methods.

At worst, open a few hot pot restaurants.

It doesn't matter whether there is business or not, the most important thing is to develop some intelligence agencies in the city.

Get some necessary information.

This is what all the protagonists of time-travel novels will do.

Although most of their intelligence agencies are located in brothels...

Having made up his mind, the next day, Tang Jian took Fu Tong and 20 good players disguised as merchants, took a sailboat out of the water fort, and went all the way to Danyang.

The seat of Danyang County is in Wanling, and there is a tributary of the Yangtze River, Zhongjiang, which directly leads to Wanling, and the fishery is relatively prosperous.

There were also many people doing business.

Tang Jian, Fu Tong and others got off the boat at the dock. After paying the mooring fee and the city entry fee, they left ten sailors to watch the boat and took the rest into Wanling.

After entering the city, Tang Jian and others first exchanged some gold and silver for five-zhu coins.

Then they asked about the prices of shops along the street and investigated the various commodities.

However, after walking for a day, the information they got was that the rent was very expensive and the business was declining.

People came to the city to sell fish. They entered the city in the morning, went back in the afternoon, and had a curfew at night.

People who entered the city to do business had to pay a considerable amount of tax.

More people sold the fish directly at the dock to avoid paying taxes when entering the city.

As a result, the city was not as lively as the outside of the city.

All of Tang Jian's secrets to getting rich were useless here, because there was no one at all!

With a sigh, Tang Jian was ready.Prepare to buy some food and go back, and then make other plans.

When they passed the county governor's mansion, they saw that the guards at the door were all wearing mourning clothes, and there were mourning couplets and white lanterns on the door.

A man who looked a bit like Fu Tong, dressed in military uniform, came out.

When Fu Tong saw the man, his face turned black and he turned his face away.

But the man was sharp-eyed and saw Fu Tong.

He looked around quickly, walked over quickly, and whispered to Fu Tong:

"Why did you run to the city? Are you going to kill me?"

Fu Tong stiffened his neck and still turned his face away.

Tang Jian was a little confused and asked Fu Tong: "Who is this?"

The man looked around anxiously again and said, "This is not a place to talk, come with me!"

Then he went straight into a narrow alley.

After he left, Fu Tong said, "He is my cousin, Fu Ying, who is a general under the command of Sun Yi, the governor of Danyang."

Hmm?

How come two familiar names popped up at once?

Sun Yi, the governor of Danyang?

Fu Ying?

While Tang Jian was reminiscing, he said to Fu Tong, "Since he is your cousin, let's follow him. Maybe he can help us."

Fu Tong was very reluctant: "I became a bandit, which is despised by others. Now that I am in the city, he is afraid that I will implicate him."

"How can he help us?"

Tang Jian felt that the appearance of such a historical figure would definitely trigger some side quests.

So he said a few words of comfort, persuaded Fu Tong, and walked into the narrow alley together.

Under the guidance of Fu Ying, the group entered a courtyard.

Fu Ying closed the door, then came to Fu Tong and scolded him: "If you are a pirate, just be a pirate. Why did you come to the city? Do you know that you will kill me?"

Fu Tong saw Fu Ying and didn't look happy. He replied directly: "I didn't come to the city to find you. What are you afraid of?"

Fu Ying was even more angry after hearing this: "You——"

Then, Fu Ying softened his tone and said: "I heard that you haven't robbed the river and done evil in recent years."

"But you and I are incompatible after all. This is not the place you should come."

"But since you are here, you can help me do a big thing."

"After the matter is done, I will pay you a considerable reward. From now on, you will never set foot in Danyang again. How about it?"
