Chapter 204 School field battle
The two of them flew on horses and each showed their own abilities.
Pang Wanchun's shooting skills were also quite impressive, but when he met Sun An, he was obviously weaker, and he was a little overwhelmed after twenty rounds.
Shi Bao could see clearly and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Sun An is good at shooting skills, so he will know my wind-breaking knife."
Pang Wanchun retreated and came up with stone treasures.
Shi Bao's sword technique is fierce. Although it is a competition, it is also thrilling to watch.
Chao Gai waved his hand and called Chao Xiong over.
"Transfer two carpenters to create some wooden swords, guns, swords and halberds, and then use wooden weapons or white wax poles to replace them."
Sun An and Shi Bao are playing against each other, and they are about to meet Liangcai. They fought for seventy or eighty rounds before they stopped.
Shi Bao clasped his fists and exclaimed: "Brothers are good at shooting skills, which is admirable."
"Brother Shi Bao's big sword is also amazing. I have never seen such a good swordsman as good as a swordsman in the years."
When a master meets a master, it is fate, and the distance will be closer in an instant.
Chao Gai praised: "Brother Sun An's shooting skills are as good as those of the 800,000 Imperial Guard Lin."
Chao Gai's words made Sun An stable, and at least he valued it like Bian Xiang.
That night, Chao Gai held a dinner at the escort agency to welcome the Sun An brothers.
When the wine and food were served, Sun An looked at him and didn't recognize any of the four dishes.
"Brother, are these all seafood? Is the escort agency so rich?"
Pang Wanchun pointed to four dishes and introduced one by one: "This is a big yellow croaker, weighing more than three pounds. The restaurants are very expensive, but we have our own port, which is a little more expensive than carp. Not to mention the prawns, sea cucumbers, and crabs are all produced by our own port."
Shi Bao smiled and said, "Brother Sun An, don't worry, eat this swift crab, for example, the mainland people regard it as a treasure, and the poor people on the beach are the most helpless. The seafood is still very good to treat, and they don't spend much money, so eat it fresh."
The martial arts school entrance exam is only part of it, the focus is still on thoughts.
Chao Gai looked at Sun An: "There are two treasures in my village that can make the people all over the world eat and not suffer from cold and hunger. I wonder if my brothers are interested?"
Sun An clasped his fists and said, "I think although I, Sun An, came from a wealthy family, has always cared about the people very much. If there is food that can save the people of the world from hunger and cold, it will definitely be great. I will definitely support development."
Then another dish and soup came.
"Brother, please see, this is called shredded potatoes, and the ingredients are potatoes and chili peppers. Chili is just a seasoning, but the yield of potatoes per mu is as large as thousands of pounds, which can best relieve hunger. This soup is called sweet potato porridge, and the ingredients are sweet potatoes. The ingredients are the best things to solve hunger."
Sun An was very happy and took a bite of spicy and sour potato shreds, which greatly appreciated.
"Good stuff is so delicious. My brother is in love with the world, so I am willing to work hard for my brother."
Chao Gai was overjoyed: "The arrival of Brother Sun An has made our strength even stronger. Brothers are familiar with the environment at the headquarters of Antong Escort Bureau."
Everyone had dinner and chatted, how happy it was.
This is the first time Sun An has eaten yellow croaker, and the meat tastes so delicious.
"Brother, is this big yellow croaker really not expensive?"
"The price of receipt from the Mizhou Pier is three cents per pound, and the price is the same as the price of carp. This season, it is transported with ice cubes, and the cost per pound is about six cents. Brothers like it, even if you eat it, it is just prawns and crabs, and they must be absolutely fresh, otherwise people will easily get sick."
The four of them ate very quickly and they ate them all in a short while.
After the wine and food were removed, Sun An began to ask Chao Gai.
"What are the short-term and long-term goals of our escort agency?"
Chao Gai said solemnly: "There are no other people here, so it's okay to say it, but please keep your mouth shut. Our short-term goal is that all major cities have our semicolons, and each semicolon doesn't have many people, just one hundred elites, so it's not easy to attract the attention of local officials. The long-term goal is what I just said, so that the people of the world can eat and wear warm clothes. We have little learning, strong career, and those who plough have their own fields."
Sun An understood what it means to have a farmer, and any ambition involving land issues is great ambition.
With so many people in the world, who can control the land?
Of course it is the king, and all the world is the king's land.
"My brother is right. Recently, the people are suffering from miserable life. The main reason is that too many people have lost their land. The landlords charge high land rent. But we are based on Dongping Prefecture and Jeju Prefecture as our foundation. After all, the population of these two prefectures is only hundreds of thousands."
Chao Gai took out the sheepskin map from his arms and pointed to the Mizhou Island on the sea: "This is our first foundation. Mizhou Island, a small island, which is more than 100 miles long from east to west and eighty miles wide from north to south. Although the area is not large, the climate on the island is suitable, it is very suitable for growing grain and can reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of land."
Sun An was shocked. He had heard of many people who became enemies and became kings, but this was the first time he had heard of those who put their foundation overseas like this.
"It's good, but how many people can the island have? How many soldiers can it recruit?"
Chao Gai shook his head: "The island has very few populations, and if it recruits at most a few hundred soldiers, it is only a few hundred. But I plan to poach a county from Qingzhou. Isn't the old thief Murong vicious? Let's steal a county quietly."
Qingzhou is the largest prefecture on Jingdong Road, with a population of more than one million and a county with a population of more than 200,000.
Local officials in state prefectures like this are all confidants of the emperor.
The sister of the prefect Murong is the imperial concubine of the current official family, so he dares to act recklessly.
Sun An smiled and said, "If the magistrate Murong discovered that the population of a county was lost, he would probably be furious."
The prefect Murong has made mistakes over the past few years. First, the floods did not provide pensions to the people, forming the first wave of refugees. The following year was drought and locust disasters. The successive disasters were a devastating blow to agriculture, but the taxes and fees did not decrease.
The people are suffering from selling their children and daughters.
Qingzhou is surrounded by mountains, and homeless people are all struggling to become bandits.
Sun An shook his head: "This island is a little smaller. If you want to develop more, it may not work."
Chao Gai pointed to an island north of Goryeo: "How many palaces can be found here? It is full of black soil, which is most suitable for growing rice and potatoes."
Sun An had a serious expression: "Isn't this the back of Jin Kingdom?"
