Pinduoduo connects the past and present; the wildest young commander and his entire army help me bar

However, after he finished speaking, the landlords and wealthy people present hesitated.

In chaotic times, a single grain of rice is worth a fortune; that is certainly true.

However, hoarding too much food in chaotic times is also an ominous sign, and will inevitably attract the attention of others.

Having plenty of grain but no military equipment is like a child carrying gold and causing trouble; the consequences are unimaginable!

Moreover, although gold and silver jewelry are worthless in chaotic times, if they are properly hidden, they can be a valuable asset left to future generations to make a comeback after the chaos ends!

So the landlords present looked at each other, and none of them uttered a word.

At this moment, Lieutenant Zhang had already brought up the exchange manual.

"Gentlemen, these are the rules for exchanging gold and silver for food. If any of you are short of food, feel free to exchange any gold and silver you have that you don't need. Our young marshal is willing to make some necessary sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation."

"How about we give you all this food that can save your lives?"

Upon hearing Zhang's words, the people present exchanged glances and mumbled 'yes,' but no one expressed their opinion.

Even Xia Erwa, who was previously full of bandit-like arrogance, stopped talking.

Qin Lizhi was not surprised by this.

A faint smile curved his lips as he abruptly rose from his seat, his imposing aura rising with him.

"Since you all have no sincerity, then I, Qin, will take my leave."

As he spoke, he gestured to his adjutant, Zhang, to prepare to leave.

But before they could move, Xia Erwa and his group stopped them with clasped hands.

"Oh, young marshal, you can't leave! If you leave, how are the people of Shaanxi Province supposed to live?"

A deep sense of sarcasm welled up in Qin Lizhi's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "That's what Mr. Xia is wrong about. I, Qin Lizhi, am not a garrison in Shaanxi Province. How can the life and death of the people of Shaanxi Province be the concern of a passing army like mine?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Erwa and the others immediately understood that the other party was using a strategy of retreat as a means of advance. If they wanted the other party to send troops, there was no way they wouldn't have to bleed money.

I was thinking of just making up some empty promises to get by, but who would have thought that they wouldn't take the bait at all!

That's true, if you want to fish, every family has to provide bait, right?

The fish that was about to take the bait was about to escape; how could this be allowed?

A burning light flashed in Xia Erwa's eyes. In less than a second, he gritted his teeth and said with a heavy heart, "I am willing to take the lead in donating half of my personal gold and silver jewelry to the army as a reward for the brothers of the Jin San Brigade."

With that, he waved his hand, signaling the steward to fetch the wooden box from the chests in the room.

Xia Erwa was originally a bandit who roamed around Xiangtang Mountain. Later, by a twist of fate, he married the only daughter of a landlord and naturally took over the landlord's business.

Therefore, he had a bandit-like air about him, and later, because of his decisive and ruthless methods, he became the leader of the local landlords and wealthy people.

With his example set, the landlords below spoke up one after another, saying, "I am also willing to donate some gold and silver jewelry to offer the young marshal a drink."

"I also……"

For a moment, the room was filled with the sounds of landlords cutting meat.

However, Qin Lizhi's narrowed eyes did not relax. Instead, he quietly instructed his adjutant Zhang to call over Xing Xingwen, who was knowledgeable about antiques and was good at bargaining.

Before joining the army, Xing Xingwen's family was quite wealthy, and the Xing family was well-known in Shaanxi.

As soon as he appeared, many people present recognized him and began to speculate and discuss.

"Why does this person look so familiar?"

"Could it be the young master of the Xing family who joined the army?"

"My God, I never expected him to join Young Marshal Qin's ranks..."

"What should we do? Our inferior products probably won't be able to fool this person at all."

"What good food and supplies hasn't this guy seen? Oh no, we're probably going to have to take a huge cut."

Those who originally intended to play tricks were now filled with fear, but when it came to the cost of their own flesh, who could be willing to do so?

They couldn't help but harbor a glimmer of hope: maybe they could get away with it?

Perhaps Xing Xingwen is all talk and no action, and doesn't understand what he's offering at all?

So, in the tense atmosphere, everyone looked at Xing Xingwen with trepidation.

Xia Erwa was not afraid at all because she had offered up the real thing.

"Is this Xing Xingwen, the second young master of the wealthy Xing family in Shaanxi?"

Xia Erwa greeted Xing Xingwen familiarly and inquired about his whereabouts.

Xing Xingwen nodded arrogantly.

Then he casually lifted the lid of the box.

In an instant, a dazzling display of jewels shone forth, stunning everyone in the room.

Inside the box were twenty gold ingots, fifty silver ingots, and various porcelain and antique items, a dazzling sight.

Xing Xingwen casually picked up one of the wine cups.

"Shang Zhou Fu Xin Jue?"

The wine vessel was surrounded by a bluish-green patina, had a unique shape, and felt warm to the touch. It was inscribed with the three characters "Zha Fu Xin".

Xing Xingwen nodded after just one glance.

"Yes, it is indeed a wine vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but I am a rough man and do not know its name. I bought it from a tomb raider."

"I don't know its exact value, but my father-in-law originally intended it to be a family heirloom that my son would continue to pass down."

"Now that Shaanxi is at a critical juncture of life and death, I think that rather than failing to protect it in my own hands and ultimately falling into the hands of the Japanese, I might as well offer this wine cup to the young marshal."

"I only ask that the young marshal can stay in Shaanxi for a while and completely wipe out the 330."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Xing Xingwen smiled, a hint of pleasure shimmering in his peach blossom eyes. "Mr. Xia is truly righteous."

Qin Lizhi received a signal from Xing Xingwen and instructed his adjutant Zhang to carry the box away.

Although we have now broken out of the mountain city, the burden on our shoulders is even heavier.

He knew better than anyone what these things could bring him and the people of the Great Xia Kingdom in return.

Lieutenant Zhang ordered his men to carry the things away.

Next, they opened the boxes and cages of the remaining people.

But the more he opened the lid, the more ashen Xingwen's face turned. When he reached the last one and finished inspecting the treasure, he slammed the lid shut.

There was a "pop" sound.

This gave the already anxious person a sudden jolt!

Xing Xingwen reported to Qin Lizhi with a forced smile, "Young Marshal, these people's things are worthless."

"It seems that apart from Mr. Xia, the others in this area are not sincere enough. In that case, young marshal, let's hurry up and leave, and not waste any more time here."

"Henan is currently suffering from a severe famine, and countless people are waiting for us to save them. Why bother getting entangled with these insincere landlords?"

"You should know that delaying military operations is a serious crime punishable by death!"

Qin Lizhi stood up and clasped his hands in a gesture of regret, "Farewell, everyone!"

"Lieutenant Zhang, put down Mr. Xia's gold and silver chests, let's go!"
