When Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin came to this small town in the northwest, they did not hide the fact that they were rich at all, and they also deliberately appeared to be very wealthy.
When they expressed that they wanted to stay overnight for repairs, one family even gave them their own home, and then the whole family lived with relatives, just because they could make a lot of money from Ren Xiaosu.
Seeing that the two of them were very talkative, the neighbor immediately brought food to Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. He even killed one of his own chickens and stewed it before sending it over.
Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, would not refuse anyone who came. He would meet them all at the door, pay, and then bring them into the house for Yang Xiaojin to eat.
Don’t mention it, the local chicken soup in this mountain is really delicious.
After closing the door, Yang Xiaojin said while drinking chicken soup: "Are you going to tell them that you are rich, and then wait until they take action to kill all the horse bandits here?"
p>Ren Xiaosu looked out from the crack in the door. Many refugees in the town were quietly talking not far from them. He said, "You have also seen that there are so many of them. We have to kill them directly." If they come to the door, won't they run away? We won't go all over the mountains and plains to catch them. It's just two people, and it would be good if we can catch one-fifth of them."
Yang Xiaojin smiled again. Asked: "Didn't I agree to declare to the outside world that we are brother and sister? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Isn't it because I thought that we don't look like brothers and sisters? What should I do if they are brothers and sisters?" Ren Xiaosu muttered.
Yang Xiaojin raised her eyebrows, and as she said, they looked more like a couple: "I didn't promise you anything."
Ren Xiaosu looked at her: "I'll do it for you You went to Qinghe University to vent your anger. You said the person you liked was not a flower in the greenhouse, but I killed so many gangsters and then said that I was the person you liked."
"Wait a minute. ," This was the first time Yang Xiaojin heard about this. She paused for a long time before saying, "I said it casually. It was obviously you who liked me first."
Ren Xiaosu said with a simple smile: "It's the same. It's all the same."
Yang Xiaojin found that Ren Xiaosu was still very shameless, but he only kept it in words, and his actual actions were as cowardly as ever.
"They don't know our situation right now, and I'm afraid they won't take action 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 it. They look so much like horse bandits."
However, at this moment, another group of people came back from outside the town, and all the refugees in the town rushed forward: "Leizi, I heard that you brought them. I went to the north to do business with the people on the grassland. How is it? Did you gain anything?" Su Lei smiled and patted the fur on his shoulders: "Look, what is this?"
Some refugees' eyes turned green when they saw the shiny fur. Some wanted to touch it, but Su Lei and others avoided it.
Su Lei laughed and scoldedSaid: "This is the goods given to us by the money owner on credit. It is the hero of the grassland. If you touch it, you can't afford to pay for it."
Although Ren Xiaosu closed the door in the room, there were people outside. But the movement was clearly heard: "Grassland? Xiaojin, do you know anything about the grassland? I have never been exposed to it before."
"The grassland is quite chaotic, and they are all nomadic people fighting on their own. We fight and kill, and occasionally go south to rob factories or refugees near the 176 barrier, but rarely go further south." Yang Xiaojin thought for a while and explained: "But the tribes on the grassland have not been to the Central Plains for several years. , so that everyone has almost forgotten about them. Moreover, there is no strong military force on the grassland. It should still be in the cold weapon era, and firearms are only in the hands of a few people, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
< p> "Then why didn't the Central Plains go and defeat them?" Ren Xiaosu asked doubtfully. From what Yang Xiaojin meant, it seemed that the grassland people's fighting power was very weak."It's not easy to fight," Yang Xiaojin shook his head: "Let's not talk about things like being acclimatized and unfamiliar with the terrain. The main reason is that the cattle, sheep and horses over there have evolved very powerfully. When they came to the Central Plains, We can still fight, but if the Central Plains people go to the north and they want to hide, the consortium will not be able to catch them. Unless there is a consortium willing to fight with them, this will be a thankless task."
< p> Ren Xiaosu understood. On the one hand, it was because the nomads were highly mobile. The armored traveling army in the Central Plains could only reach an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour. However, the nomads exploded in minutes, so it was still easy to escape.On the other hand, there are not many resources on the grassland. The biggest resource is beef and mutton. Since there is no big threat on the grassland, there is no need to mobilize so many troops to target the northern grassland. It would not be good if other financial groups took advantage of it.
"However," Yang Xiaojin changed the topic: "The Central Plains has been imposing sanctions on the North and prohibiting everyone from selling arms to the North to avoid any new problems."
Ren Xiaosu was confused. Said: "I understand this, but they don't have tanks or armored vehicles. If you give them firearms, they won't be able to cause any trouble. Don't they all say that the age of firearms is the end of the cavalry?"
"No, this is a misunderstanding of many people," Yang Xiaojin explained: "In fact, less than half of the top ten powerful empires in human history were cavalry empires in the firearms age. They dragged artillery to attack cities and seize territory, and the enemy could do nothing. None. Later, the cavalry was eliminated because the mobility of horses was outmatched by modern technology, but if horses also evolved, no one would know what the outcome would be until they fought. ”
As Yang Xiaojin said, if the prairie people now have thermal weapons, they are not sure whether they can hit anyone, so there is no need to continue the discussion.
I just heard people outside say: "Leizi, it seems that all the goods you bought before were sold, right?"
Su Lei said with a smile: "That's right. Of course, and the hero on the grassland is very majestic.”
"In that case, you can lead everyone to make money together," a high-pitched voice shouted: "It's hard for us to be horse bandits, so why don't we all go into business with you, Su Lei."
But Su Lei said with a smile: "Li Mazi, what did you say when I asked you to join the team? Didn't you say that doing business with the prairie people was unreliable? You also said that they had no money and were barbaric. Now, don't you? Isn’t it a bit late to join the team?”
“Leizi, you can’t say that. We all grew up in the same town, so why don’t you give us a hand?”
Su Lei calmly replied: "No."
Finally, he found a good way out. Su Lei did not allow anyone in the town to ruin his business.
Suddenly, the shrill voice asked: "Hey, where is Wang Ergou? Didn't he go with you? Why didn't he come back?"
