The uncle and nephew were bickering all the way down the mountain, and saw the young man from the Cheng family waiting impatiently beside the mule cart.

As soon as he saw the two of them arriving, the boy rushed over and said, "Oh, my two young masters, I have waited for you. Let's go, let's go back to the city, uncle coachman!"

Su Shi couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

The boy said: "There are rumors in Jiazhou that Zhigao defeated Shu!"

Su Shi couldn't help being shocked: "How is that possible?!"

Su You was concerned about the group of children from Tutu Temple and said: "Get in the car first and talk while driving back."

After getting on the mule cart, Su You asked, "What's going on?"

The young man said: "Young master, according to the merchants who came from Jiazhou, He Zhi was superior to the one who defeated our army. Now that the army is strong, he plans to enter Shu from Luzhou, kill all the way to Yizhou along the river, and then seize Xichuan, following the story of Xixia

.”

Su You said "ha": "Even the march plan and subsequent territory planning are so public?"

Su Shi wiped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did these rumors come from? It's better than Wuman coming to kill him! Uncle coachman, please slow down, this car is bumpy..."

The coachman also had a family in the city. He was so anxious at the moment that he would not listen to a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He whipped him even harder.

Su Shi was shaken so much that he held the side of the car with his hand: "Mingrun, look at what happened..."

Su You also held his hand beside the car: "I'm afraid Meishan City is a little chaotic now..."

Arriving at the pier, sure enough, guards had been set up on the city wall. The merchants were running around shouting and unloading their cables. Farmers from the suburbs were also swarming into the city. The merchants in the city were trying to flee. It was as noisy as a big crowd.

The market is average.

The two people jumped out of the car. Su Shi looked at the battle and was dumbfounded: "It's not like that..."

Seeing that Chen Tian and Guo Long were being squeezed around, Su You jumped onto an overturned grain truck and shouted loudly: "Whether entering or exiting, keep to the right!"

Su Shi also jumped on the grain truck: "Mingrun, you are crazy! This is obviously a rumor! You are still fanning the flames!"

Su You shouted anxiously: "If we don't provide guidance, something will happen at the city gate first!"

Only then did Su Shi come to his senses and shouted loudly: "Whether entering or exiting! Keep to the right! Keep to the right!"

Su You felt his eardrums shaking: "Holy crap! What kind of kung fu is this?"

Su Shi said proudly: "This is the skill of Yin Xiao, you will have to learn it in the future."

After saying that, he shouted a few more times.

Sure enough, people began to lean to his right, and then the traffic at the city gate became smoother.

Su Shi shouted again: "Dear merchants, I have heard that it is impossible for Zhigao to come to Xichuan. There is no need for everyone to be anxious and everyone can just settle down and do their own thing!"

No one listened to him. He shouted several times, and some merchants retorted to him: "Young gentleman! Stop talking nonsense and go home quickly! Soldiers have been posted on the city wall!"

Su Shi shouted again: "This is to prevent chaos, not to defend against enemies, so don't worry!"

When everyone was suspicious, a few soldiers rushed out from the city gate and posted notices on the city wall.

The general meaning is that in order to prevent bandits, Meishan City has been placed under military control. At a certain time, the city gates will be closed during the day, so those who enter must hurry up.

Then there was a "boom" and the crowd was in chaos again.

Su Shi was speechless: "This..."

Su You jumped out of the car and said, "Zizhan, I'm going to the Tutu Temple, but I won't enter the city. You hurry into the city to see your sister-in-law and tell her everything is safe. I'll be with my friends these days!"

Su Shi shouted: "That won't work! Mingrun! Mingrun..."

But he saw that Su You had run away.

Su You came to the Tutu Temple and saw everyone there, with worried and frightened expressions on their faces.

When Li Shuanzhuo saw Su You, he was surprised and happy: "Young Master?! Why are you still here? I was just saying that I would take everyone into the city to join you!"

Su You wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face a little red: "What are you doing in the city? This is probably just a rumor! Brother Zaowa, how much money do we have now?"

Zhang Zao said: "There are two hundred strings. I was going to find a place to hide in the forest..."

Su You said: "Is it okay if you hide it? If someone catches you and tortures you for a while, don't you have to find it obediently?"

"What should we do?"

"Keep the gold that ties you up, and spend the rest!"

Zhang Zao was anxious: "This is the money for winter clothes for my younger brothers and sisters, as well as two houses! And... and Mr. Shi's debt..."

Su Youyou smiled and said: "I don't know that the one who owes the debt is the big master? Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"

When we arrived at the pier, the crowd had dispersed quite a bit, and there were still many merchants holding on to their goods and crying without tears.

Silk, cotton, and other valuable items were all put on board, but many bulky things such as lumber and grain could not be carried on board. There were even two mule carts.

There were already many people on the boat. The boss of the boat looked impatient and had already pulled out his pole. The people on the boat were also urging a few people to get on the boat quickly. The people on the shore kept begging to wait for a while. It was really hard to give up good money.

Su You went over and asked: "Are these things for sale?"

Several merchants jumped up in surprise: "Sell, sell, sell, young man, just give me a random price."

Someone on the boat saw this and shouted: "We have some here too! Silk, silk, sugar and wine!"

Su You cupped his hands and said: "Uncles, this matter is probably a rumor. Don't sell the things you have already boarded. Come back after the limelight has passed."

Several merchants on the shore said: "That's right! Young Master, please take pity on us on the shore..."

Su You said: "To make a long story short, let's count the points and make a plan. Brother Zaowa, bring me the abacus."

Several merchants had lost a lot of money. They had two mule carts, two thousand kilograms of various grains, a huge row of bamboo rafts by the river, and hundreds of pine trees on the bank that could be hugged by an adult. The total price was two hundred guan.

Su You sighed and took out a folding knife from his schoolbag: "The three of you must have suffered a big loss this time. You can take this folding knife to Yizhou and sell it, and the proceeds should be divided equally."

This folding knife is very similar to the one Su You gave Shi Wei, but the back lock has been improved, and the mechanism is more sophisticated. The blade has no pattern. It is just an ordinary folding forged knife made by Yun Steel with a simple burnt blade. However,

Qingying is reserved and extraordinary.

Several merchants thanked them profusely: "Young man, you don't know. We have already paid taxes on these things. If we don't sell them in Meishan, then they will be destroyed. This is the end of the matter. Alas..."

Su You gave some kind words of comfort and taught a few people how to open and close a folding knife, and then they left with great gratitude.

The dock suddenly became deserted, with only a few children left.

Su You turned around and looked at the closed city gate, and said to Zhang Zao: "Brother Six, the transaction is completed, load it into the truck and transport it to the Tutu Temple!"

Zhang Zao looked at a lot of things and was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Two hundred strings have changed so much! I'll call someone!"

The sergeants on the city wall watched as a group of children came rushing down from the city, rolled the pine trees into the water, tied them up with ropes, and used long bamboo poles to support them to the inlet of the upstream stream.

As for food, it could only be hauled slowly by mule carts.

I was busy until the evening before I finished moving the things.

In the evening, a dozen farmers came from the suburbs: "Young Master, is Young Master Su here?"

Su You was arranging the children to put their things away when he came out and saw Shi Da: "Hey, how did you know I'm here?"

Shi Da stumbled and said: "Well, my young master, you are driving the gentlemen in the city to death!"

But it turned out that Cheng Wenying knew that Su You was left outside the city, and asked the old army guarding the gate to deliver the news to the villagers who were leaving the city, and to inform Shi Da to come and take Su You to Zhuangzi.

Su You smiled and said: "You see, it's really not necessary. We are doing well now. By the way, there is something we really need your help with."

Shi Da said: "Young Master, just give me your orders."

Su You drew a pattern: "This is called a pulley block. Make me two sets according to these two styles, and then borrow some big claw nails. This wood is still in the water."

Shi Da said: "Young master, you should come back to the village with us. Although the country is not as good as the city, there is still a bed to sleep on."

Su You said: "I have to set an example. There are so many of them and I don't worry. Just bring the things tomorrow. By the way, you can take the two mules away first. We won't feed them."

Shi laughed and said, "I thought you could do anything, young master. Oh, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Su You said: "By the way, these vegetables are also broken. You have to bring some vegetables over tomorrow and teach us how to manage and use livestock. Now that we are all here, let's eat together. We have just harvested several thousand kilograms of grain.

I don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore.”
