172.Chapter 172
I have to say that the businessmen were also ruthless in order to avoid these dignitaries.
The status of Shang Jia is not high in Da Zhou, but in their share, although they are the shopkeepers under Ruan Bai, few people disrespect them when they go out.
These dignitaries didn't do anything with them, but ...... Annoying! Really annoying!
How do they know how the owner "moved" the mountain? But none of these dignitaries and nobles can be convicted by them. So the businessmen, who are also pampered on weekdays, are willing to take a roll of baggage and hide in the mountains.
And not long after they hid in, some people who were good friends with Ruan Bai, such as Hu Shang, Niu Shang and others, also rushed over from afar and participated one after another. If Ruan Bai has meat to eat, he must follow closely, even if he drinks some broth, it is better than licking the bottom of the pot outside!
Well, the businessmen who can actually support long-distance operations are themselves worth a lot of money.
A group of businessmen with great energy and backed by the mountains have exerted their energy with full operation, which has amazed some dignitaries and nobles who have not had time to leave.
Others don't say it, as a magistrate, Pan County's feeling is the most intuitive.
In the past, it was very difficult for ordinary people to find a job in Zhong'an City. After all, Zhong'an is so big, although it is a city, there are no decent shops, and there are no big households.
Now as long as you have strength, there is no problem in character, all can have work, although building bridges, paving roads, building houses, transporting goods, etc., are all hard work, but the wages are much more than before.
The merchants also went directly to the GuΓ² county government and hired women to do some work such as sewing, washing and cooking.
If the merchants were to hire their own women, there would have been some bad rumors. It's different if the government comes forward, where are some poor families who are unwilling to come out and do things? In particular, work like sewing and washing can actually be done at home, and you only need to go to the government every day to pick up and return the clothes.
Along the cement road from Zhong'an to Lingnan, the two towns rose simultaneously. Even if there are no merchants yet, there is a town that has zΓ i, and the help for road construction is obvious.
For example, at night, the road construction team can sleep in a clean and tidy house without sleeping in a tent; For example, if someone is bitten by a snake or insect, they can be sent directly to the medical station for treatment......
With a more complete logistical supply, the efficiency of the road repair team has reached a new level.
As for the money, the businessmen just kept an account, anyway, everyone is a family, and if you really want to count the money, it is just a matter of going from the left pocket to the right pocket. And, as long as there is this road, will this money not be able to be earned?
That's right, a concrete road plus the investment of two small towns is just "a little money" for the top leaders of today's Nguyen business empire.
It's the same as Liniang's feeling, it's rare for them to have so many people gathered together, and they all seize the time to learn and communicate with each other, and of course there are various competitions in private, but they are all benign.
Ruan Bai, who had returned to Shunyang at this moment, didn't know that the group of guys under his hands would eventually come up with a project that scared him.
Shunyang changed again before they left.
The white-toothed trees on both sides of the official road have become thicker, the market has been markedly enlarged, and there are still many workers building houses, except that there are no walls, and it has become a town.
The people who came and went wore summer shirts, and the material was no worse than some of the surrounding towns. It's just that there are more farmers in the end, and they choose wear-resistant and dirt-resistant fabrics.
There happened to be a happy event in someone's house, two donkey carts pulling full of things, and the sound of gongs and drums was noisy. When Chu Hao saw it, he stepped aside the convoy.
The person who did the happy event was not polite, walked directly through the middle of the road, and brought a large plate of snacks to him.
Ruan Bai leaned on the window of the carriage and took it with a smile: "Congratulations!" Which of Brother Cui's sons married his daughter-in-law? He knew most of the people around him, but some of the young lads and girls were not very familiar. Lao Cui has three sons, and he was originally tall, but he has grown taller in the past few years, and he looks so much that he can't recognize it.
Lao Cui smiled and said, "It's the second child!" The happy event held by the boss during the New Year, you were not there, and you did not let you eat wine. As for this year, looking at Ruan Bai's dusty appearance, he was embarrassed to invite someone to dinner.
Ruan Bai understood. If Lao Cui really invited him to eat and drink, he would be embarrassed.
When the convoy returned to Qianhu Mansion, he instructed the housekeeper to send some wine and food to Lao Cui's family. He hurriedly freshened up and went to the General's Mansion with Chu Hao.
In the General's Palace, the atmosphere was very solemn.
Not only General Cao and several high-level generals were present, but also King Yue Ze, Tian Kaifu and Fang Yu were also present.
Of course, Zhou Tuji and Fang Maomao are completely supernumerary, and most of the Yan sΓΉ on their faces are pretended.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ruan Bai and Chu Hao. Excuse the two of them from the courtesy, and greet General Cao: "Come and discuss, it's been a long time, and it can't be delayed." β
The two were not polite, and found a seat to sit down.
Chu Hao asked directly, "What's going on?" The letter said that there were two tribes, which tribe were originally attached to? How many people are there? Now is the time when the grassland is abundant, why don't you want to graze, but instead come over and prepare to enclose it? β
These Tian Kaifu knew better: "The size of the two tribes is not large, one sixty-three people; The other was a little more than seventy-eight. 12 over the age of 40; ninety-six between the ages of 15 and 40; There were thirty-three and less than fifteen.
These two tribes have been married all year round, and they were originally the Guxi tribes that were attached to the eight tribes of the grassland. However, the exploitation of small tribes by large tribes is very strict. This time it was their leader's child who fell ill, and the Gutin witch doctor charged a lot of money, and as a result, the child was not cured and died. β
Fang Maomao interjected and said: "Like this kind of child, the witch doctor will not treat it at all, they just collect cattle and sheep." "He's seen a lot.
Tian Kaifu smiled bitterly: "That's right." The witch doctor took a large amount of their belongings and did not treat the child. Somehow, the leader found out about this, and in a fit of rage, he killed the witch doctor, and he himself was hunted down. Now both tribes are all on the hunt list of the Guxi tribe, so they came to Dazhou to seek refuge. β
After a pause, he added, "They're in a bad situation. The leader who had killed the witch doctor was dead, and many women and children had died on the way, most of the young men were wounded, and a few old men were dying. β
It was still Chu Hao who spoke: "Where are they now?" β
King Yue Ze pouted and said, "In Yue Ze." "Even if he has more places in Yueze, he can't bring the Cab-Huns to him one after another? Don't look at these Huns now, the wolves seem to be very pitiful, and they are fierce to cut people with knives! He can't sleep well at night!
Chu Hao ignored the grievances of King Yue Ze, his eyes swept around everyone's faces, and he didn't say that he was a badger!
For such a long time, in fact, the focus of their debate has been whether to agree to the attachment. To put it bluntly, no one wants to take this responsibility. Now Chu Hao has decided the matter, no matter how much caution they have in their hearts, anyway, the sky has fallen and there is a tall man on top...... Moreover, Chu Hao was obviously the youngest except Ruan Bai, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the heavy momentum was substantial, and the huge pressure made it impossible to say a word for the rebuttal of routine things.
"Whether they are forced to be helpless or wolf-like, it is finally a start. As for the Huns...... Haven't the officials from the capital faction come yet? "When something like this happens, no matter what course of action they take, it involves the diplomacy of the two countries. Because the two sides brought huge benefits to both sides last year, the relationship between the two countries is still in the honeymoon period for the time being. Chu Hao was sure that even if the Huns were not happy in their hearts, they would never turn their faces at this time for the sake of the two small tribes and the Great Zhou.
Tian Kaifu shook his head: "It should be almost there, right?" There was some uncertainty in his tone, after this incident, he didn't know what the capital thought, and there was almost no reaction, but he didn't care very much, "This matter is not important." The important thing is to make a decision as much as possible, if no one in the capital comes to the grassland, then I will go with Fang Yu. β
After getting along for such a long time, Tian Kaifu is enough to understand Fang Maomao's force value. His own skills...... It shouldn't be too bad. If there was no burden, just him and Fang Yu, he was sure enough to get out.
Chu Hao nodded: "Okay, then let's not wait for the reaction of the capital." "Those people in the court, he knows very well. When it's okay, you have to make something; When there is something, they are as quiet as chickens; When there is a benefit, you can run faster than anyone else; It's too late to hide from things like going to the grassland, I'm afraid it's still going to be a joke.
General Cao and the others blushed slightly, looked at the two young men, and with a single glance, they decided that they had discussed for so long and couldn't make a decision.
Chu Hao didn't look at them again, and turned his head to look at Ruan Bai: "Then the remaining question is, how do these two tribes have an internal method?" β
Ruan Bai was still sorting out the information about the capital in his head. This time, the information was lagging and not detailed enough, allowing him to see a lot of things that needed to be improved. However, the cultivation of talents does not happen overnight. Most of the couriers in the postal system are only couriers, and only a very small number of them can collect, capture, extract and deliver useful information.
was asked a question by Chu Hao coldly, Ruan Bai was a little like a primary school student who deserted in class and was caught by the teacher: "Ah? Scattered far away arrangement? What else can I do? β
Tian Kaifu can be regarded as a good official in internal affairs, but he has been worried for a long time because of the attached problems, and when he heard Ruan Bai say this, he asked with bright eyes: "Where is the arrangement?" How to arrange it? β
"Isn't there a lot of shortage of people in our big week? The Huns are attached, and it is certainly not appropriate for them to stay on the border, and our place has had enmity with the Huns for generations. Lingnan, for example, is very good. There are few people, and it is the focus of the development of the imperial court, the grain is three crops a year, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, melons, fruits and vegetables, there is no winter, and there is no fear of freezing to death......"
