Chapter 240: The Great Development of Quanzhou (Part II)
Comrades so! "Ho cough!"
"Fight and ram!" "Ho cough!"
"Smash it one by one!" "Hey, Rollo!"
"For us!" "Ho cough!"
"Gushuitan then!" "Ho cough!"
"Innovation industry then!" "Ho cough!"
"Build a new home as soon as possible!" "Hey, Rollo!"
The loud trumpets of labor are sung everywhere in Quanzhou, and people with red ribbons can be seen everywhere beating the foundations and burning the wasteland.
At Gushui Beachhead, the original wharf has been demolished, and the entire wharf has become a large construction site.
Behind the wharf, there are also warehouses, wine houses, and inns under construction.
In Gushui, you can see that there is a continuous stream of timber cut down from the mountains such as Anle and Hunu, floating here along the current, and then being picked up and prepared to be made into building materials.
In these years, perhaps the least valuable thing is manpower.
You don't need to be paid, you just need to eat a full meal.
Outside Quanzhou, the road that had not been repaired for many years was also being widened, and Ma Qiang was even preparing to build a cement road.
And in this small place of Quanzhou, the scholars... Bah! Are you worthy to be called a nobleman?
There are few that can be called poor.
Just these few families, they originally wanted to give Zhang Sheng a dismount, but when they saw Ma Qiang with a thousand fierce and vicious cavalry, escorting tens of thousands of prisoners of war who were said to have rebelled in Jizhou, to settle down, his smile suddenly brightened.
Not to mention what docks are going to be acquired, it's okay to ask for his father's grave!
Ma Qiang was carrying a green orange on the left, Zhang Ning on the right, Lin Zhi was jumping in front, if it weren't for Zhao Yun holding a horizontal knife in the back and looking vigilant, this would be a youth sightseeing group!
Although Zhao Yun is not much older.
"Zilong, don't be so nervous, let's talk while walking, I talked to your eldest brother yesterday, your eldest brother feels that he is not in good health and is unwilling to join the army, I think this Quanzhou dock also needs a steward, so I want him to be in charge, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun has taken the time to go to Changshan to pick up his family and return to the Red Star Camp, in addition to Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Jun and sister-in-law Fan Xiu, there is also a young man named Xiahou Lan, after Zhao Yun left home, he was entrusted to take care of Zhao Jun.
Xiahou Lan Ma Qiang also heard about it in later generations, so he also received his own personal guard battalion and temporarily served as Zhao Yun's deputy.
Ma Qiang also specially asked Xiahou Lan whether he knew Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, but found that they just had the same surname and didn't know each other at all.
"My brother is just a rough writer, Yun is worried about misleading Ming Gong!"
"Can't be wrong! Not to mention the rough writing and ink, even if you are illiterate, as long as you are willing to learn, it is not a problem!
This port of Quanzhou will become a very important place for us in the future, and I don't worry about it if I don't let it go to someone I can trust. ”
As soon as Zhao Yun heard this, he understood that Ma Qiang was saying that he could trust him, after all, his brother had just met Ma Qiang, and there was nothing to talk about trusting or distrusting.
"Okay, since you don't object, this matter is decided, I'll talk to Lin Lao later."
"Brother Pony, I'm tired, shall we go eat?" Lin Zhi smelled the smell coming from a wine house next to him, and said with some greed.
"Okay, I'm out to hang out anyway, let's go, I'm in for a treat!"
Ma Qiang led everyone to the wine house, and immediately a man invited them to sit at a table, Ma Qiang asked, "What kind of special food do you have here?" ”
"We just sent a deer from the hunters, do you want a few guest officers?"
"Venison? Good things, pick up some good fruits and vegetables, and you're done! ”
"Gotcha!"
Ma Qiang was gossiping with a few people, when suddenly a man in a fancy costume pointed at Ma Qiang and shouted, "Ah, isn't this my nephew?" ”
Ma Qiang was stunned, nephew? What's the situation?
The man was about fifty years old, he walked over with a smile, sat down directly, Zhao Yun on the side frowned and wanted to get up, Ma Qiang waved his hand to let him stop, he was a little curious, when did he have an uncle.
"This old man, I don't know you?"
"Hey! I'm your daddy's brother! You don't remember? When you were young, I went to your house to hug you? ”
???
Are you sure?
Are you from the Temporal Authority?
The old man frowned, and said strangely, "What? Didn't your dad tell you? ”
"That's... My dad is gone. ”
Ma Qiang didn't tell a lie, this era is indeed not there, and it will take more than 1,700 years to be born.
"I know! When your father was leaving, he sent a message to me,... Didn't he tell you? This is weird. ”
Ma Qiang is completely confused, is there anyone in this world who looks very similar to himself?
"No, this old man, I really don't know you, you probably recognize the wrong person."
The old man scratched his head, got up and said, "Impossible, it's you, your father gave me your portrait, and let me give you the baby." ”
"Baby?"
"Yes, you see, this is the jade of the pre-Qin Dynasty, which was deposited by your father with me, and it is worth a thousand gold!" As he spoke, the old man took out a small cloth bag, and when he opened it, there was a turquoise jade, which looked extremely precious.
???
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Lin Zhi's eyes suddenly appeared in the shape of a heart, and Qingcheng was also curious, only Zhang Ning was unmoved.
The things that Zhang Jiao gave her to play with before, not to mention the pre-Qin, Xia Shang also had them.
"This is for me?" Ma Qiang asked with some uncertainty.
"What do you mean by sending you! This is called paying you back, by the way, did your father tell you that you want you to give me the ten taels of gold I put in him? ”
Ma Qiang suddenly understood, this is a liar.
"Okay, don't lie to people, if you talk nonsense, I'll ask someone to arrest you, it seems that Quanzhou needs to sort out the law and order."
"What deception? If you don't believe me, go to the pawn shop over there and ask! This thing can be exchanged for at least fifty taels of gold! But don't really take it! This is a family heirloom given to you by your father! The old man suddenly said angrily, "If it weren't for your youth, I would have beaten you for your father!" ”
"Xiao Lang, don't be fooled, you have to go, this thing is no longer this treasure." A slightly chubby Confucian man came over and waved his hand, "Where did the villain come from, he actually dared to deceive people here, thinking that the laws of the Han Dynasty were not strict?" ”
"What deception? The old man doesn't understand what you're saying! ”
"Humph!" The chubby Confucian grabbed the old man, and then touched it, and a Ruyi that was exactly the same as on the table appeared in his hand, he threw it away on the table and said, "Do you go by yourself, or do I ask the official to take someone?" ”
The old man was ashamed and angry, and he wanted to run away as soon as he snatched Ruyi from the table, but with a bang, Zhao Yun's sword was already pierced on the table.
