Chapter 252: Huge Compensation
Chapter 252 Huge Compensation
Lu County, the Yellow River passes through, it is an important node of the Yellow River Basin, and it is also the county of Jibei County, where the Jibei City is located, and the Jibei Wharf in the county is also the most important and busiest wharf in the whole Jibei County.
The breeze blew lightly, today's Jibei Wharf was busier than ever, and not long after the sun rose, Zhang Lichang led 10,000 Allied soldiers to temporarily stationed at the wharf, including 5,000 elite cavalry, and Wei Zheng and Fang Qianzao came with him.
"General Zhang is newly married Yan'er, but he can still get up so early, it's really rare!" Looking at the fiery red sun in the distance, Fang Qianzao said with a smile.
Not long after the recruitment meeting, the generals who temporarily returned to Donglai City to participate in the recruitment meeting have returned to their stations, and the same is true for those newly married generals.
Since none of them were the commanders of the garrison, Su Shang specially approved that they could return to the garrison with their new wives, but they could not bring their wives to the garrison camp, and after half a year, they all had to send their wives back to Donglai City!
"The task is important! The task is important! ”
Zhang Lichang was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and at the corner of his mouth, a happy smile was raised slightly!
Hearing this, Wei Zheng also laughed, "Like a delicate wife, iron-blooded tenderness, General Zhang doesn't want to be weak!" ”
Zhang Lichang laughed and shook his head again and again, "No!" No! ”
After the three of them laughed and laughed, Fang Qianzao changed the topic and asked solemnly, "This time the task is important!" In the dock, has General Zhang arranged it? ”
"Counselor Fang, please rest assured! In the dock, I've got it all arranged! Moreover, the inspectors we sent also boarded the fleet two days ago, and they are stationed on the ship to inspect it, and everything is normal at present. ”
"There are many crew members on the ship, and there are private soldiers to escort us, so we must be careful and prevent any accidents!" Wei Zheng also reminded.
"The last will understand! Two days ago, I had secretly sent 200 scouts to monitor the banks of the Yellow River, so that after the fleet entered Jibei County, it would be under the surveillance of our scouts throughout the whole process! ”
"That's good!"
Fang Yanzao nodded approvingly, "There are too many ships, and it is easy to hide a lot of things, and accidents can easily occur, so we must be more cautious." ”
Wei Zheng also nodded, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect these big families to be so obedient, and they would really send a huge amount of compensation!"
"They dare not pay!"
Zhang Lichang said fiercely, and said with a smile: "The teacher said that if you do something wrong, you must humbly admit your mistake and accept punishment, otherwise you will be spanked!"
Hearing this, all the generals behind them laughed, and Fang Yanqian also smiled slightly: "They don't want to lose, but they are even more afraid of being spanked!" That's going to kill a lot of people! ”
……
Not long after the hour, a fleet of hundreds of large and small merchant ships, stretching for more than ten miles, appeared on the river upstream of the wharf.
"It's finally here!"
Looking at the Jibei Wharf in front of him, Dou Wei's heart that he had been carrying was finally let go!
This time, in order to deliver all the money, food, and property of the compensation within Su Shang's deadline, the three of them did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to purchase hundreds of merchant ships to transport materials.
Because of the huge value of the materials, along the way, they were all worried and trembling, for fear that the rebel bandits along the way would not be able to help but rob them, but fortunately, Su Shang allowed their fleet to fly the flag of the alliance, so they arrived in Jibei County without danger.
"Yes! The days of fear are finally over! ”
Yuan Shou also sighed a little, and then smiled bitterly: "This time, the three of us will be laughed at by the big families in the world!" It doesn't count as sending compensation for thousands of miles, and the head of the family has to come to apologize in person, this is the first time in thousands of years! ”
Zhao Yi also smiled a little bitterly, "The situation is stronger than people, and when we meet Su Shang, who doesn't sell the face of the family, what can we do!" ”
The three of them were a little silent, staring at the Jibei Wharf that was getting closer and closer, and their faces were becoming more and more cautious!
Soon, the leading ships of the fleet docked steadily at the dock under the command of the dock personnel, and the three masters then boarded the dock with their henchmen.
Zhang Lichang and others, who had been waiting at the dock, immediately urged the horses to meet them, and the two sides introduced each other, and after a warm and polite greeting, Zhang Lichang stayed with 10,000 soldiers, and they were going to take over all the merchant ships here.
These merchant ships were not suitable for navigation on inland waterways, and they had to transfer all their money, food, and belongings to the Allied warships that were already waiting at the dock, and then escort the fleet to shore from the Donglai Pier.
However, these hundreds of merchant ships also belonged to the Allied forces, and the three great families did not have the strength to bring these ships back, so they had to transfer the merchant ships and their crews to the Allied forces at a low price to offset part of the compensation.
Wei Zheng and Fang Yanzao took 500 cavalry soldiers to escort the three masters to Donglai City.
Those who followed the three masters to Donglai City were also escorted by several of their henchmen, and as for the private soldiers who escorted them, they could only be temporarily disarmed and left in Jibei County, waiting for the three masters to return before taking them away.
"Counselor Wei, why don't we rest in the village in front!" has been driving a horse for more than an hour, and Yuanshou, who is usually pampered, can't support it, so he can't help but suggest.
"It's good!"
Wei Zheng looked at him in a blink of an eye, did not hesitate, nodded in agreement, and then shouted: "The village in front, the team is suspended and resting!"
From Jibei Wharf to Donglai City, the official road distance is about 1,000 miles, and the elite light cavalry only needs to march normally for four days to arrive.
However, because the three masters were all pampered figures, in order to take care of their bodies, the team had been stop-and-go, and Wei Zheng and the others sometimes led them into some village markets along the way, intentionally or unintentionally, so they walked on and off on the road for eight days before they just entered the scope of Donglai County.
Seeing a group of Allied soldiers from outside the village, the people of the village not only did not fear, but informed each other, moved out of their homes with good things, and warmly entertained them!
"Little boy, aren't you afraid of them?"
In the villages passed along the way, the reactions of the people were all similar, and Yuan Shou accumulated a stomach full of curiosity, and couldn't help but reach out and grab a little boy who looked to be only six or seven years old and had been circling around the Allied soldiers and asked.
"My name is Liu Zhi, not a little boy."
The little boy was not afraid, tilted his little head, and while looking at Yuan Shou drippingly, he corrected Yuan Shou's mistakes very seriously, "Don't be afraid, because they are all soldiers of the Alliance Army and protect us!" "Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Overlord Claw Book House at the End of Sui" for free for the first time.
