Chen Xu patted Hu Kuan's shoulder and said, "Since you are literate and literate, and you opened a wood and stone workshop when you were a child, I believe you can do a good job!" I'll be relieved to leave this matter to you, and you can go to my horse and fetch the money bag from the bag! ”

"Yes~" Hu Kuan hurriedly went out, and after a while, he brought a heavy wolfskin bag.

Chen Xu opened his pocket, and there were more than 2,000 yuan and some gold cakes in it.

"I'll leave all this money to you, and you will be responsible for finding craftsmen and buying wood and masonry, and give you a month to change this foothouse to the appearance painted on the drawings, can it be completed?"

"Yes, yes!" Hu Kuan looked at the bag of money and was excited and excited, and nodded again and again to promise to complete the task.

"Okay, you go, find more people to take good care of the foothouse and Lu Dong's family on weekdays, don't let people bully them, I will send you some items in a month on a sunny day, and I'll talk about it in detail when the time comes!"

"My lord, in fact, those few friends yesterday were all good friends with me, they didn't escape, but they were too timid to come to see you......" Hu Kuan said hesitantly.

"Go and get them to me!" Chen Xu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Hu Kuan hurriedly went out and rode away, while Chen Xu sat down, spread out the hemp pulp paper, and began to plan what the store could sell when the store was ready.

About half an hour, Hu Kuan went and returned, and with four trembling gangsters, he saw the cold expressions of Wang Wu and Wang Qi, who were burly and standing on both sides of the door gate with swords and swords, like door gods, the four gangsters turned pale, and knelt on the ground with a puff when they entered the door.

"How many of you dare to escape, do you think that Zeng really can't find you?" Cheng Xu put down the brush and said coldly.

"My lord spares my life, I waited for the people I was asking everywhere last night that the adults were looking for, and I didn't escape, but I was too timid to come to see you!" A few thugs cried for mercy.

"Manly man, what kind of body is it to cower into, Hu Kuan intercedes for you this time, and I will spare your life temporarily, the four of you will follow Hu Kuan for the time being, and do a good job of doing a good job of foot shedding, and then the money will naturally be small, otherwise it will be chopped into meat sauce and fed to the dog, but you can hear it clearly!"

"I'll hear it clearly, thank you for not killing!" The four thugs hurriedly kowtowed again.

"Go ahead!" Chen Xu waved his hand, and the four thugs got up as if they had been amnestied, and hurriedly escaped from the foothouse.

Harvested Hu Kuan, a gangster who is familiar with Wancheng, Chen Xu can also be regarded as a nail and eyeliner in Wancheng, as long as the foot house is renovated, the wine, vinegar, sugar, rice biscuits, moon cakes and other common non-staple foods in Qinghe Town can be sold here, and at the same time, you can also open a store specializing in selling steamed buns and dumplings and noodles, so that you can also settle the family of five in the foot house, and after collecting enough money, you will take down several shops around the foot house to open a big restaurant, When the time comes, I will bring in two chefs who have learned how to stir-fry in the elementary school cafeteria to become chefs......

Qinghe Restaurant, the first highest-end and most professional restaurant in Daqin, will be born, when the time comes, there will be a full house, countless businessmen and wealthy people will spend all day drinking in it, and another theater will be opened in the backyard, and another green building will be opened next to it......

Cheng Xu felt that his plan was fine, of course, the premise was that no one came to find trouble, but since he knew Gao Yao, the overlord of the Gentleman Realm who sat on the top spot in Wancheng, ate both black and white, and led thousands of gangsters in Wancheng, he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't use it well.

You said I wouldn't look for you if I didn't look for you?

Heheda, Chen's favorite thing is to see the bad guys unhappy but helpless.

Cheng Xu smiled with a very unbeaten expression, and took Wang Wu and Wang Qi, two burly bodyguards, to ride to the county governor's mansion to find Gao Yao.

"Why are you here again? Isn't that the foothouse thing over? Gao Yao walked out of the gate angrily, his face pale.

"Don't be excited, Mr. Chen has another thing to do this time, I want to make a deal with Mr. Gao, I don't know if you are interested?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Not interested!" Gao Yao snorted coldly and was about to turn around and go back.

"All you need is a word from Gao Gongzi, 10,000 yuan a year!" Chen Xu shouted at Gao Yao.

Gao Yao must have turned around with a puzzled face: "What kind of business can you get 10,000 yuan with just a certain sentence?" ”

It's no wonder that Gao Yao is tempted, but 10,000 yuan is indeed a huge number, and it is 250 stone for food, in this era when food is king, even the county lieutenant can't refuse this temptation, you must know that the official rank of the county lieutenant is only 2,000 stone a year, although Gao Yao seems to be majestic in Wancheng on weekdays, but to say that the pocket money is really not too much, with this money can be chic for a long time.

"I ordered the foot house and was going to do some business, but I was afraid that there would be government officials and unknown people to disturb me, so I wanted to ask Gao Gongzi to make a guarantee, we will pay taxes according to the regulations, but let people not bother casually, as long as Gao Gongzi agrees, this 10,000 yuan can be given in two months!"

"Thirty thousand dollars!" Gao Yao thought for a while, and felt that Chen Xu was so willing to make money, he would definitely do a big business, so the lion opened his mouth.

Wang Wu and Wang Qi's faces twitched lightly involuntarily, but Chen Xu said to Wang Wu without moving: "Show your waist card to Gao Gongzi!" ”

Wang Wuyan obediently took out a bronze waist card from his clothes and handed it to Gao Yao.

Gao Yao took it inexplicably, looked at the four seal characters of 'Tongwu Houfu' on the waist card, and suddenly his face changed greatly, turned it over, and there was a big five characters written on the back, and there was a seal engraved below, which was a 'cut' word.

"You...... Who are you? Gao Yao instantly felt a little numb, as the son of the county lieutenant, he still knew a lot of things, such as the Marquis of Tongwu is the general Wang Ben, and what does this cutting mean?

"General Wang Jian came to Nanyang County a few months ago, and then went to Qinghe Town, I don't know if Gao Gongzi knows about it?" Chen Xu asked with a smile on his face.

"I know......" Gao Yao nodded a little confused.

"Hehe, it's good to know, in fact, this deal is not mine, can Gao Gongzi understand?"

Although Gao Yao was a gentleman, he was not stupid, and he instantly understood what Chen Xu meant, and then suddenly made a big swing, his face became extremely distorted and frightened, and his teeth shook out a few words: "Reason...... Understand ......".

Wang Jian clearly knew everything about the hijacking of the summer grain tax last time, and because of this incident, his father Gao Yan almost gave up his son to save his life and handed him over to Wang Jian to deal with.

"Since it would be best if Gongzi Gao could understand Chen's difficulties, 30,000 yuan is indeed a bit beyond my ability, so let's ask Gongzi Gao to ask me to let Wang Wu go back to Xianyang Tongwuhou Mansion to inform the general......"

"No...... No, no...... I...... I don't want money anymore! Gao Yao shook his head again and again with a pale face.

"Then how to make it, since Gao Gongzi has spoken, what should be given is still given!" Chen Xu shook his head and said to Wang Wu: "You will return to Xianyang early tomorrow morning, and tell the general about Gao Gongzi's requirements carefully......

"Chen Xu, I'm ...... I really don't want any money, you ...... about the foot sacrifice Don't worry, I will help you do it, and no one will go to disturb you, don't tell the general......"

"How?" Chen Xu continued to be polite.

"I'm begging you!" Gao Yao grabbed Chen Xu's arm tightly and begged, the sweat on his forehead rolled down, and Chen Xu could even see endless fear in his eyes.

"Really?"

"I really don't!" Gao Yao shook his head categorically.

"I think you still have to, or I'll be upset!" Chen Xu was a little regretful.

"Chen Xu, I really don't dare to ask for it~" Gao Yao almost cried.

Well, Chen Xu looked at Gao Yao's appearance, and he was indeed about to collapse in fright, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Gao Gongzi Gao Fengliang does not ask for anything in return, Xu admires it deeply, and the matter of the foot house will be entrusted to you for the time being!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it for you, and no one will ever go to find trouble!" Gao Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.

"That's good, Chen won't bother today, and invite Gao Gongzi to drink and have fun another day!" Chen Xu waved his hand and floated away with two fierce guards.

"Huh~" When Chen Xu and the three of them rode away and couldn't see the shadow, Gao Yao, who was in shock, let out a long breath, and at this time he felt that he was already sweating and cold to the soles of his feet, and he was almost unable to stand up.

In an instant, he seemed to understand Ma Teng's fear.

But at the same time of fright, he was a little more inexplicably curious about Chen Xu.

"When I do this, will the old general make trouble for me?" On the way back, Chen Xu asked Wang Wu and Wang Qi with a little trepidation.

"Don't worry, we won't tell the general, let alone ......" Wang Wu looked up at the sky for a long time, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I don't know what the general's condition is, Wang San, they should come back when they return!" ”

Chen Xu also followed silently for a long time and said: "Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, General Wang Lao has been brave all his life, and the pacification of the Five Kingdoms is an unprecedented immortal merit, and the gods in the sky will bless him, not to mention that Xu Fu has been to Xianyang for almost a month, no matter what the situation is, he will write back, it is estimated that it will be these few days, don't be anxious!" ”

Next, Chen Xu went to the hospital to visit the rescued worker slave, and found that he woke up, although his strength was extremely weak, but his mind was still sober, so he left some coins for the doctor to get some meat soup and rice soup to feed well, and then went to the tea shop to inquire about the news of Shui Rourou and Yu Wuya, but the result was still an empty trip, so he had to go back to the post house to rest unhappy, and prepare to return to Qinghe Town tomorrow.

"Chen Lidian stay~" Just as Chen Xu and the three of them rode their horses and slowly walked back along the street, suddenly a young man dressed as a scribe rode on a horse and greeted him on the road.

"You are?" Chen Xu Lema asked suspiciously, this person seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Chen Lidian, I went to Qinghe Town with Zhao Langjun last time!" The young scribe hastened to say.

"Zhao Qing?"

"Exactly."

Chen Xu suddenly asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhao also came to Wancheng?" ”

The young scribe smiled and said: "Zhao Langjun went to Xianyang, arranged for me to help collect the things needed by Lidian, and just escorted the goods to Wancheng today, ready to rest for one night and send them to Lidian tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet Lidian when I wandered on the road, what a good luck!" ”

"Really, haha, great, where's the goods? How much do you get? Chen Xu was even more pleasantly surprised.

"The goods and groom guards are now resting in the North Market ......"

"Let's go, let's go and see!" Chen Xu urged repeatedly, so the four of them rode their horses to the north of the city.
