Chapter 14 Saving People
After convering with Shi Deshiyi and others, the salt transport team immediately left the city.
As soon as a few people left the city gate, they heard a team of officers and soldiers running out on horseback.
"Chase, don't let them run away. There are thousands of families of the Red Turban Army in it." With the shouting, a group of Yuan soldiers rushed out like the wind and lightning.
"These days, it's really chaotic. There are Liu Futong in the north, Guo Zixing in the west, and Xu Shouhui in the south. It is said that they are all Red Turban Army. I don't know how long this Yuan Dynasty can last." Lv Zhen said.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Yang looked at Lu Zhen, who didn't care. "It's still on the boundary of Taizhou. If someone passes on what you said to the magistrate, we will be killed."
"That's right, you can jump into the river if you want to die. Don't involve us." Shi Xin also said proudly. But with your water name, I don't think it will drown you.
"Stop it, let's go back to the ship quickly." Zhang Yang stopped Shi Xin. Although everyone is just talking, the disaster comes from the mouth, and it will be safe when you return to the ship.
The group came to the boat, put down the pole, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chip the boat!" Zhang Yang said.
Shi De and Shi Yi worked together and picked up the heavy anchor from the bottom of the river.
Li Bosheng untied the rope tied to the wooden stake on the shore. The bamboo pole pushed the river bank vigorously, and the hull began to move slowly.
Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanshao raised the sails on the mast on the deck. The sails were full of energy and immediately bulged, and the hull began to accelerate.
"It's against the wind when we go back. We'll sail slower." Shi Xin felt that the wind was not in the right direction. When he came, it was downwind, and when he went back, it was against the wind.
Like last time, Zhang Yang gave everyone 100 cents. This time, he left in a hurry and did not give it to everyone in Taizhou City, so that everyone could buy something to bring back.
This time, I sold private salt and earned more than a dozen taels of silver. In addition to the money distributed to everyone and the deposit in the blacksmith's shop, there are still ten taels of silver left, which is already a lot of money.
But Zhang Yang is not satisfied. After the sales are opened, he should expand the production scale, so that the profit will double.
In addition, the iron ore in your pocket is also a good way to make a fortune. There are red scarves everywhere, and wars everywhere. The consumption of this weapon must be very strong. If I use modern methods to refine a large amount of iron and sell it to the Red Turban army, it can not only attack the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but also bring benefits to myself. It is really the best of both worlds.
In the era I lived in, the arms business was definitely a big business that made money. Americans sell weapons to other countries, and they always add two more zeros to the price of their own equipment. The light weapons exported by their own countries to other countries did not add zero, but only converted the name currency into US dollars.
Arms, absolute profiteering.
However, you must have that ability. First of all, doing the sale of salt and iron is the crime of killing the head. You must have the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, if you have money to make money and have no life to spend, it is still in vain. Secondly, there should be enough manpower. With more than a dozen people now, it is not exhausting to death. Which big company does not have hundreds of employees.
As I was thinking about it, I heard someone shouting, "There is someone in the water."
Zhang Yang looked up, Shi Xin, Li Bosheng and the two were pointing to the water. Following the direction of their fingers, Zhang Yang saw a gray thing floating on it, which was still moving. It should be a person.
The man also saw the salt boat and swam over.
Gradually, the other party swam closer, and everyone was shocked: there was an arrow in the other party's back, and the feathers of the arrow tail were still shaking in the wind.
Everyone vaguely guessed that the other party was the Red Turban Army that escaped in Taizhou City, that is to say, it was a wanted crime of the court. Save it or not?
If everyone is not saved, this person will definitely die. If it is saved, it may cause trouble.
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Yang.
"P pull him up." Zhang Yang said.
Except for his own salt boat, there are no other boats around. Now that he is rescued, he should not be found. Moreover, the other party may be a thousand households of the Red Turban Army, which is also a senior leading cadre. He should be able to get some useful information from him.
In this era, there was no TV, no Internet, and no channel for information circulation. The little information I have now is spread by the people. After the oral transmission of countless people, it has long changed.
Information is the most important thing at all times.
A man from[***] was pulled onto the boat.
Although he is lying in the cabin, he can also see that this man is very burly, more than eight feet tall, (about 23.5 centimeters per foot in ancient times), with a dignified appearance, two arms, and powerful Kong Wu, but his back is blood red, and the arrow inserted in the body, which makes people a little frightened.
The man took a look around, and several people gathered around him and looked at their clothes. They should also be salters who carried salt. Just now, they also saw the flag of the salt boat floating in the bow.
"Thank you for your help. Thank you very much." As the man spoke, he coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of water.
Just now, in order to avoid the pursuers, I had to jump into the river, but I was hit by another arrow. After swimming for more than half an hour, I had already lost my strength, but I was supporting myself with a belief. Now I was rescued from the ship, and I felt that my whole body was suddenly weak.
"Wow, does it hurt when the arrow is stuck in the body? Do you want me to pull it out for you? Shi Xin said in a strange tone.
The man turned up and sat up.
The blood kept flowing down, and the man's face became paler.
"Thank you, please help me pull out the arrow." The man said.
Shi Yi has found a towel from the back cabin and rolled it up two rolls.
"Open your mouth." Shi Yi said.
The man opened his mouth, and Shi Yi stuffed the towel into the man's mouth, which could prevent excessive pain from biting his tongue.
"Bite it tight." Shi Yi said.
"I'll do it!" Shi Xin is eager to try this.
Everyone took a look at Shixin. This guy didn't have any sympathy at all, and he even had fun with others.
"Be careful, be fast, be accurate, and pull it out at once." Shi Yi ordered.
" OK, I know. Get out of the way." Shi Xin said.
Shi Xin stood behind the man, holding the arrow shaft in both hands, and said, "Are you ready? I'm going to pull it out."
The man nodded.
Shixin uses both hands at the same time.
"Ah..." Although he bit the towel, he still heard the painful voice in the man's throat.
"Ah..." Shi Xin also shouted. The moment he pulled out the arrow, blood sprayed all over him.
The arrow is with a barb. The arrow is pulled out, and even the meat near the arrow is turned out together, which makes people can't bear to look at it again.
The man was almost fainting. Shi Yi took off the towel in his mouth, and he was so weak that he was about to fall down.
He pointed to his chest and said, "There is golden sore medicine here..."
Before I finished speaking, I rolled my eyes and fainted.
"Hey, wake up!" Shi Xin patted him on the face and didn't respond.
Shi Xin touched his chest, with a few pieces of silver and a small bottle. I took it all out.
Take out the small bottle and "apply the medicine to him." When you change hands, you have to pack the broken silver.
"Give him back the silver." Shi Yi said.
Although Shi Xin moved relatively quickly and hid it from several people next to him, he could not hide Shi Yi, who supported the injured man.
"I rescued him and pulled out an arrow for him, just treat it as a pay. There is no one who does it for nothing, right? Big brother?" Shi Xin asked Zhang Yangdao.
"GIV it back to others." Zhang Yang has been watching the process of saving the man. This man deserves to be a good man. He can bear such severe pain. This man must be a resounding figure. It would be great if he could be used for himself.
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." Zhang Yang began to scold Shi Xin, "We sell salt to make money. This is our ability. If you take other people's money like this, what's the difference between stealing? Only this time, I won't do it again."
Shide took the golden sore medicine and applied it to his wound.
The golden sore medicine is very effective, and the blood stops immediately.
" OK, I can't die." Shi Xin said.
Zhang Yang shook his head. He knew that taking out the arrow and stopping the bleeding was only the first step. The most important thing was to prevent wound infection!
He just soaked in water for so long. As soon as the wound is infected, it will be inflamed. In this era, there is no penicillin. Once it is inflamed, it will be deadly.
Zhang Yang looked at the man lying in the cabin and was a little worried.
