There were seven soldiers registered in Baoningdun, and three female relatives, a total of ten.

He Yidou and the other two left, and Guo Fan and the other two came.

There are currently nine people.

At this time, everyone gathered in the square and began to unload the things on the donkey cart after seeing Guo Fan...

All the people in the military announced that each person who served in the army would wear four sets of clothes per year, including one in winter.

On this northern border, there is a severe winter for five months a year, and winter clothes are life-saving supplies.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to issue all these materials, as it is common for ordinary border troops to wear a winter outfit every three years.

But on these two donkey carts, there are twenty new winter clothes!

He Yidou was able to get so much supplies, so he probably walked through his uncle He Baihu's way.

But obviously, even if there were supplies, he did not distribute them.

"Hey..., it seems that he is not the one who is frozen."

Ma Chao curled his lips and directed everyone to put the things on the donkey cart neatly.

In addition to winter clothes, the most common here is naturally the ordnance.

After statistics, there were 30 spears, eighteen handles of a hundred forged steel knives, and three bodies of cotton armor.

No armor.

Even if it is a hundred households in the army, not everyone has this kind of thing.

There are several other boxes containing some exquisite daily necessities and some silver...

"More than one hundred taels!"

Ma Chao looked ecstatic at first, then bitter.

Undoubtedly, this is a lot of money, and you can buy a good house even in Beijing.

Here, it is even enough for a family of five to eat and drink for a lifetime!

Now that He Yidou has been robbed of so much money for no reason, he is afraid he will not give up.

But Guo Fan focused on another box.

He reached out to grab a handful of golden things from inside, his eyes showing confusion.

"Is this gold?"

"Sir, this is Jinsha, but it's not pure."

Among the Dun soldiers, one of them lowered his head and explained: "There was once a Jinsha River near Baoning Dun, where gold could be drawn."

"The garrison specially sent people to search for gold, but later it couldn't be found, so the river gradually became deserted."

"Then how did this sand come from?"

Ma Chao hurriedly asked.

"Although it's abandoned, you can still find some with some thoughts."

Dun Bing replied: "When Chief He was here, we spent most of our time trying to find gold."

"I can find some more two years ago, but in the past two years, I can't get anything this year."

"I see."

Ma Chao was very agile, his eyes turned, and he said, "It seems that He Baihu arranged his relatives here to hunt for gold and sand."

"Now there is no gold in the river, and Baoningdun is no longer safe, so He Yidou will go back."

I have to say that his ideas are very logical.

The scattered golden sand is not taken seriously by the guards, but it is enough to satisfy the appetite of a hundred households.

"Um."

Guo Fan nodded and flipped the box in his hand.

These gold sands are probably also hidden by a dou of private money. In terms of value, they should be no less than one hundred taels of silver.

Putting down the box, he looked at the pier.

"May I have your name?"

Dunbing's knees softened and he fell to the ground: "Little Man Jiang Niu."

"stand up."

Guo Fan frowned slightly, looked displeased, and said, "Don't kneel, I'm not used to it."

"This is."

Jiang Niu hesitated for a moment before slowly getting up.

"How much food is left in the pier?"

"Back to the Lord."

Jiang Niu thought for a moment and said, "Mill less than ten stones, there are three dou of ground beans and a basket of wild vegetables."

Di Dou is what Guo Fan just ate. It tastes a bit bitter but can fill your stomach.

These things are not a problem to use as food rations for half a month for people in the past.

But now...

I'm afraid it's a big deal!

"Where's the meat?"

Guo Fan continued to ask.

"Meat……"

Jiang Niu's mouth twitched and said, "Sir, we usually don't have meat here."

Not only usual, being able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year is already a gift from Shangguan.

"No meat?"

Guo Fan frowned.

If he wants to restore his strength, he must have a lot of food to supplement, and meat is indispensable.

Corn alone is far from enough!

“Is there any way to get meat?”

"There are two ways."

Guo Fan just asked casually, not expecting a response, but he didn't expect Jiang Niu to have an idea.

His eyes lit up and he said, "What's the solution?"

“Buy from other places.”

Jiang Niu lowered his head and said, "Although the border is dangerous, there are still merchants willing to take risks."

"In addition, some nearby trunks, ducks, pigs, etc. can be bought from them for money."

"good!"

Guo Fan looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and emphasized, "Jiang Niu, you are very good!"

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Jiang Niu lowered his head, making people unable to see his expression.

"So, in your opinion, how long can the money we have in our hands last?"

Guo Fan got silver and gold sand around him.

Jiang Niu was stunned.

Is this adult kidding?

If these things are just for food and drink, everyone in the dock will never be able to use them all their lives!

However, thinking of Guo Fan's terrifying appetite, he hesitated again.

"It should be able to support a lot of time."

"Oh……"

Guo Fan chuckled lightly, but did not continue to ask.

Based on the meal he just now, if he could maintain the current progress, it would be enough to restore his strength when he was about one or two months.

And he is now in possession of internal strength, and as long as he has enough time, it is easy to exceed his original strength.

After calculating silently, Guo Fan had already made a decision.

Just stay here in Baoningdun for a while until his strength recovers and it will not be too late to leave!
