The struggle history of dressing up as Gone with the Wind

Chapter 656 Righteousness
While Guo Xiu was feeding the child, he won the territory by striking iron, Zhou Hu sullenly and Shang Ping left with the food exchanged this time.It was also the second time they entered the mountain after the Chinese New Year. The first blacksmith saw how happy they were, and they also got enough food in exchange, but this time they gave very little food. It can be said that the price was deliberately lowered. This made Zhou Hu very unhappy. If Shang Ping hadn't pulled him, he would probably have quarreled with the other party.

Leaving the territory of blacksmithing, Zhou Hu vented his anger; "It's really deceiving!"

"Zhou Huwei calmed down. I thought of this situation when I came here. Rare things are more expensive. There is a shortage of salt in the mountains, but when there is too much salt, it is worthless. Besides, you must be a shrewd blacksmith. After these three transactions , He probably already guessed our identities to some extent, so he will desperately lower the price, because he knows better than anyone else that we are short of food, even if he lowers the price, we will still exchange food with them." Shang Ping said He was much calmer than Zhou Hu.

"Of course I understand what you said, but what we need is food! The policy has been announced, and the prince said that as long as the policy is implemented, it only takes three years, and the big guys can eat and wear warmly. Now those refugees have taken action under the leadership of the government, if you tell them that there is no food at this time, do you know what it means?"

"I naturally know that I am more worried than you. We have to grit our teeth and persist for three years, but these three years are really hard to persist! Not only are we attracting Dashan's attention, but those forces are also turning their attention to Dashan. .” Shang Ping sighed worriedly.

"Oh? But what did the blacksmith tell you?" Zhou Hu asked tentatively with a flash of shrewdness in his eyes.

"The blacksmith said that there was a gap in the mountain, and people from outside were mixed in. During this time, people from several forces have sent him messages, hoping to exchange food with him."

Zhou Hu heard this; "Come on, let's go back quickly and tell the prince about the situation here as soon as possible, so that he can make plans early."

"Brother Zhou, didn't you say before that you have brothers who live in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but you have never been able to get in touch with them?"

Zhou Hu didn't know why Shang Ping asked this suddenly, but he still nodded; "Yes! They are deep in the mountains and it is difficult for us to get in touch with them."

"It was really difficult before, but now we have a chance."

Zhou Hu's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this; "Tell me what opportunity it is?"

"In two months, there will be the annual big market in the mountains. At that time, it will be the best chance for us to sneak into the mountains. I believe we will definitely see them at the big market."

Zhou Hu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this; "Your suggestion is very good, as long as you have contact with my brother, plus the relationship between the prince and them, I think they will never lower the price of food, but this We have to go back and ask the prince for instructions."

"Of course I know, but if we miss this opportunity, we may have to wait for another year, and there have been great changes in this year, if we can't get in touch with your brother, we have to continue to communicate with the blacksmith We may lose more than we gain by trading, brother Zhou, I know that the prince trusts you, and I hope you can tell the prince all this, although I am a merchant, I also want to do something for the victims of the disaster."

Zhou Hu patted Shang Ping's shoulder with emotion in his heart.
