For every two people who read romance, there is an account that has registered for the network. I'm just talking about it. He added: "Well, you can borrow it from Ji Tong, but you don't need to escort the guide, I have some people under you, you can lend it to Duanrong." However, in business, when you come down, you can't miss a penny of how much money you should give for hiring. "Definitely, definitely." Shen Duanrong was overjoyed.
He was not familiar with Ji Tong, and he was somewhat untrustworthy in his heart. But Chen Houyun's people can definitely be trusted! In this way, his faith was greatly increased!
Shen Duanrong got Shen Rouning's token, and without delay, he went to find Ji Tong in a hurry. After coming back, he was quite satisfied, Ji Tong promised that he would be able to free up thirty carts and supporting goods for him in three days, and did not immediately ask Shen Duanrong to pay the silver, but just signed a contract and gave it back. And Chen Houyun was faster here, and let people make an appointment with a place, and Shen Duanrong saw a hundred guards and three guides, and also signed a contract.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shen Duanrong bid farewell to all the relatives of the Chen Mansion, led the first and most likely the last caravan in his life, and left the capital in high spirits and went all the way to the west.
"Why did Duanrong leave quietly without squeaking!" Mrs. Shen San complained a little and said, "Duanbai also said that he wanted to follow his sixth brother to see Brother Song." I don't know what happened to Brother Song over there, it's freezing and fighting, it's really hard to feel at ease, and I can't sleep well. ”
Shen Rouning couldn't help but secretly look at Mrs. Shen San when she heard this-
Mrs. Shen San is also a woman of nearly forty. But there is not too much old state, the complexion is ruddy, a little plump and rich, but the skin is no longer delicate, and the corners of the eyes also have not obvious fine lines.
I don't look like a person who can't sleep well.
Shen Rouning said softly: "In fact, Daqing's army fought a few ambushes at the beginning, and then they were all grassland people fighting in the house, and the fifth brother has a general in the army to take care of him, so he will definitely be able to come back safely, and the third aunt can rest assured." ”
"Really?" Mrs. Shen San said: "I don't dare to believe the rumors outside. ”
She actually wanted to complain about why Shen Duanrong obviously had a caravan that made money, why didn't he take them with Sanfang, and Sanfang obviously got together with three or five cars! But Shen Rouning avoided talking about Shen Duanrong, and she didn't have to pull the topic over, it seemed that she was a philistine, so she had to give up.
Shen Rouning said: "I heard my husband say that now the generals have not withdrawn their troops, on the one hand, in order to prevent the grassland rogues from entering the hinterland of Daqing and disturbing the people, and on the other hand, they are also leading the task of building a city...... In extraordinary times, it is too late to requisition migrant workers. And the army is full of strong laborers, and the city is built quickly. ”
"With the fortified city as a support, the officers and men in the army will be safer."
Mrs. Shen San seemed to be relieved when she heard this, and asked again, "Why are you in such a hurry to build a city?" Seeing Shen Rouning looking over, her eyes seemed to be a little surprised, and Mrs. Shen San laughed at herself: "Your third uncle never told me this. ”
Shen Rouning was not surprised, and explained: "It is said that His Royal Highness King An is afraid that the grassland people will rebel again...... No one has cultivated the 300 miles of grassland, and it is estimated that in a few years, it will fall into the hands of the grassland people to graze and raise horses. And after the city is built, it is equivalent to our Daqing landing a nail there, even if we don't farm, that grassland can be regarded as occupied. ”
"Of course, in the future, those cities will be economic exchanges between the two sides, and they will soon prosper."
Mrs. Shen San suddenly said, "I see." She looked at Shen Rouning with some envy, and said, "I didn't expect that the fourth aunt would be willing to tell you about this, Ah Ning must be doing well." No wonder the fourth uncle and the fourth siblings have been gone for many years, and they don't worry about you at all. (To be continued.) )
