Chapter 674: Here He Comes
Seeing Zhou Yi'an asking, the bearded man turned around, with a warm smile on his face, and hurriedly bowed down in a proper manner, a very standard beam etiquette.
"Hello, we are looking for Zhou Heng, who is the boss of the Rejuvenation Hall."
Zhou Yi'an came to his senses and knew who he was in an instant, after all, Boss Xue had talked to him several times, and he recalled his name a little and hurriedly said.
"You're Michelle?"
Michelle smiled even more happily, as if she wanted to step forward and hug Zhou Yi'an, but she still endured it.
"It's down there, is Mr. Zhou here? If the son of the world is here, it will be fine! ”
Zhou Yi'an shook his head and smiled apologetically.
"My uncle Zhou Heng and Shizi took people to Tongzhou, and they won't return to the capital in a short time, and here in Huichun Hall, it is his apprentices who are taking care of it."
Michelle was stunned, looked at the people behind him, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhou Yi'an thought about it, Zhang Huaiyuan and the others were still waiting for a reply in Shuntianfu, and they were about to return to Tongzhou, and then continued:
"Otherwise, you and I will go to Shuntian Mansion, there are just a few people going to Tongzhou, and they also know where the branch of Uncle Shi's newly opened Rejuvenation Hall is, so they can send you there directly."
Michelle was moved to hold her chest with one hand, "Oh, I really don't know how to thank you, it just so happens that the carriage we brought didn't enter the city, so let's follow you first." ”
Zhou Yi'an didn't react, what did it mean that the carriage brought by this didn't enter the city, but since he agreed, he took Michelle and they came directly to Shuntian Mansion, and just as he was about to enter the door, he saw Zhang Huaiyuan and Zhang Sheng coming out of it.
"How's it going, is it all arranged?"
Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly saluted, "Everything has been settled, the factory guard will send someone over later, let us take the first step, Lord Zhang said, and then present it to Your Majesty." ”
Zhou Yi'an didn't understand what was going on here, but since Master Zhang agreed, he was naturally credible, and then pointed sideways at Michelle and said:
"This is Michelle, I think you have also heard of it, it is the stranger who brought the golden potatoes and corn to Uncle Shi, they said that they want to find Uncle Shi, it seems that there are still many things outside the city, why don't you let them go with you?"
Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly had a smile on his face, sweeping away the previous haze, this person is definitely a nobleman.
"Okay, don't worry, Zhou Sizhi, I will definitely send Michelle to see my uncle in person."
The two sides said goodbye, and Michelle happily followed Zhang Huaiyuan and them out of the city.
Zhang Huaiyuan came on horseback, and wanted to help Michel hire a car, but Michelle didn't agree, saying that there was a carriage outside the city.
As soon as he came out, Zhang Huaiyuan was stunned, on the side of the official road, in order not to affect the traffic, there were dozens of carriages parked on the side of the road, all wrapped with tarpaulins, and I don't know what they were, and there were several luxurious new carriages.
Put away the shock, called Michelle and them, and everyone rushed directly to Tongzhou.
Near noon, the convoy entered the city in a mighty way, Zhang Huaiyuan asked Zhang Sheng to go back to the mansion to report first, and he took Michelle directly to the Tongzhou branch of Huichun Hall.
When I came to the door, I happened to see Boss Xue, this Tongzhou branch is in the east of the city, and there is a large open space behind it, looking at the convoy blocking the street, Boss Xue hurriedly let the convoy all be transported to the open space in the backyard.
Zhang Huaiyuan took Michelle directly into the Rejuvenation Hall, Zhou Heng listened to Qu Ziping's communication, quickly got up, and before he went down to the first floor, he saw Michelle coming up.
Michelle was so excited that she rushed forward and hugged Zhou Heng, there was no etiquette at this time, patting Zhou Heng's back hard, Michelle had tears in her eyes, and the strangers behind her were all very moved.
"Dear Mr. Zhou, I'm back, Michelle didn't break his promise, I brought my friends and a lot of good things, to find you!"
Zhou Heng smiled happily, this kid is really a lucky star, not to mention that because of the two seeds he brought, he is now really turning over, but it has only been more than half a year, why did he come back so soon?
Although Michelle's skin has darkened a lot, it looks very strong, not like when he left before, his face was full of vegetables, and Zhou Heng looked puzzled.
"You've only been walking for more than half a year, and if you go back to Spain, won't you be so fast?"
Michelle smiled, "Of course I didn't return to China, but I docked in Siam, found my friend, and sold all those medicines you gave me, and exchanged them for a lot of gold coins, and then I found a friend, changed a ship, and prepared a lot of good things to come to you." ”
Zhou Heng nodded continuously after listening, and everything was explained in an instant, no wonder looking at Michelle's proud appearance, obviously those medicines didn't know what price he had hyped up, this was a hard profit.
As he was talking, Boss Xue also went upstairs when he heard the news, and Michelle hurriedly stepped forward to hug Boss Xue.
Boss Xue was taken aback, his movements were fast, and he dodged behind Zhou Heng in a flash, such enthusiasm made him difficult to accept for a while, and subconsciously looked for Chun Tao's figure in the crowd.
Zhou Heng glanced at Boss Xue, it was really embarrassing to be like this, I was afraid that my daughter-in-law would have no bottom line.
"Hurry up, let someone serve tea, let's go to the office to talk, by the way, what good things did you bring this time?"
Several people entered the office, and Michelle looked mysterious and approached Zhou Heng.
"This time I brought a lot of things, all kinds of vegetables and grain seeds, yes and fruits, I don't know if you have seen it, we brought a kind of green melon, its flesh is red, eat it with cold water, it is very refreshing in the hot summer."
Zhou Heng nodded, "Well, I've eaten it, but I really didn't have it, you brought this seed?" ”
Several people on Michelle's side showed surprised looks on their faces, obviously Zhou Heng's erudition surprised them very much, Michelle raised his chin, pointed at Zhou Heng and said:
"Mr. Zhou is the person with the best medical skills in Daliang, and the medicines I took out and sold were all made by him."
This sentence shocked everyone, and it was still different from what I had heard before and what I had seen with my own eyes, a man with golden wavy hair stood up, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I just came up, I took a look, and there were already people seeing a doctor below, could this be the medical hall that Michelle said?"
Zhou Heng bowed slightly, Zhang Huaiyuan had already said that they came from the Rejuvenation Hall in the capital.
"Our medical center is called Huichun Hall, and now there are many branches, Datong in Shanxi, Qingping in Shandong, Fuzhou in Fujian, plus this Tongzhou branch, as well as the branch in Beishan, there are a total of five branches and a general number.
In addition, the drugs used in the army of the Great Liang Kingdom are all provided by us, and doctors from all over the country are also studying in my Beishan Medical College, and the use of drugs and systematic medical knowledge will be carefully trained. ”
Zhou Heng introduced unhurriedly, when a person explained these novel things in a language he was familiar with, everyone's eyes were attracted.
Michelle looked at Zhou Heng seriously, "Mr. Zhou, I don't just want to do business with you and buy medicinal materials this time, I hope to leave some people behind to learn language and medical skills in Daliang, and when I come next time, I will change another group of people, I don't know if it is convenient for you here?" ”
Zhou Heng smiled, "What's inconvenient about this, if you come, you will send it to Beishan, learn the language first, and then after getting familiar with the environment, follow the people from the medical school to learn, so that it is easier to use medicine and diagnose, medicine is a very rigorous discipline, if you want to apply, you don't just rely on you to sell medicinal materials." ”
Michelle kept nodding, he agreed with Zhou Heng's words very much, and pointed to the dozen or so people in the room and said:
"In the port of Tianjin, the number of wagons that can be hired is very small, so we keep most of the people and let the wagons pick them up later, or shall we take a look at the seeds first? I brought some of them, and of course all the bulk goods were parked in Tianjin Port. ”
Zhou Heng was interested and waved his hand at Michelle.
"Take it and see."
Michelle nodded to a few people beside him, and they hurried downstairs, and after a while, a few boxes were brought up, and when they were opened, they were all filled with various things in small bags.
Zhou Heng looked at it, and suddenly came to his senses, watermelon, melon, grape seeds, sunflower seeds, opened the largest bag, Zhou Heng was stunned, it turned out to be sweet potatoes.
"I asked you last time, have you ever seen this thing, and you said that there was no food on the ship, so you ate it, yes, this is really good."
Seeing that Zhou Heng was so satisfied, Michelle also laughed.
"We brought a lot of things with us, and of course a special gift for you, but we're going to go downstairs and see that they're all in the car."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, "Don't worry, since you're here, let's go, I'll take you to see the construction site here, we have to build roads, you drove from Tianjin Port, it took a lot of time, right?" ”
Michelle nodded, "We hired a car and walked for a day and a half, the road is relatively long, our convoy has too many people, and if we encounter a few people, we need to stop and avoid, the key is that the road is too narrow." ”
Zhou Heng nodded, "We have to build a road, connect Tianjin Port and Tongzhou, Tongzhou and Beijing, all of them, and wait for the new road to be repaired, not to mention two such new carriages intersecting on the road, even if the four carriages are side by side, it will not be a problem at all." ”
Michelle's eyes widened, "It takes a lot of silver taels, right?" ”
Zhou Heng smiled, "Let's take a look!" ”
Boss Xue was the first to stand up, opened the door, and everyone went downstairs together, without going to the main gate, and walked directly to the backyard, behind which was the convoy brought by Michelle, with trucks and carriages, and it was blocked tightly that you couldn't see what was inside.
Michelle mysteriously approached Zhou Heng, and when he saw that there was no one, he hurriedly said:
"The mysterious gift I'm talking about is in the car, why don't we take a look?"
Zhou Heng blinked, somewhat confused, what did this person want to do?
Could it be that you brought something that you can't see?
Seeing this, Michelle pulled Zhou Heng to the largest carriage, the coachman had already been branched out, but there were their people guarding it, seeing Michelle's signal, he lifted the curtain of the carriage.
There were a lot of women in the carriage, wearing tube skirts and wrapped in a huge silk cloth, only their eyes were exposed, and when they saw someone open the curtain, they all looked panicked, and with such a movement, the sound of metal clashing sounded.
Zhou Heng was stunned, and then his eyes widened, the appearance of these people was very similar to the Daliang people, but the skin was light brown, and a bold idea exploded in his mind in an instant.
Boss Xue stood behind, and when he saw this, he immediately rushed up and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
"Michelle, our son already has a marriage contract."
Zhou Heng patted Boss Xue to calm himself down and smiled at Michelle.
"I know Michelle's intentions, okay, let's go to the construction site first, and then talk about the others when we come back, in addition, although it is autumn now, it is still extremely hot, let Qu Ziping take these people to the Huichun Hall and find a room to rest."
Of course, Michelle had no opinion, Qu Ziping stepped forward, and Zhou Heng did not forget to instruct:
"This is the big beam, and the customs and habits are still very different, so let them cover their heads and faces, so as not to attract onlookers."
Immediately took people to the construction site, although it was only eight days, but the road was already built in good shape, especially with so many people working together, the scene still looks very spectacular.
Michelle was stunned, pointed to some people who built houses on the side of the road and said:
"To build a road, you have to build a house?"
Zhou Heng nodded, waved his hand at Zhu Sanfu on his side, and a huge scroll was unfolded.
"We're not just building roads, I've bought the land on both sides of the road, and we're building shops or workshops along the way, so that we can attract merchants from all over the world.
This wharf is the canal wharf of our big beam, and the tea, silk, and porcelain transported from the south will be transported to the northern state capitals through here, and of course, the grain, ore, medicinal materials, etc. from the north will also be transported to the south through here.
When this road is connected to Tongzhou City, it is just connected with the road from Tianjin Port, you can also take the sea road, and it is more convenient to connect the capital directly by sea, for example, before you go from the port to the capital, it takes two hours, and you can arrive in four or five hours after repairing the road.
As for these shops, as well as those workshops, when the road is connected, more merchants from the north and south will gather, so that a trading center will be formed in Tongzhou, and whatever you want to buy, you don't even need to go to the local area, you can completely complete it. ”
Michelle was a little enthusiastic by Zhou Heng, such an overall design, it is really beautiful, the port and wharf state capital, everything that can be thought of is reasonably integrated, even if this concept is moved to any city, it also has the value of application.
Michelle looked at the people behind him, and saw that they had approached the houses and began to study them, and before he could say anything, one of the curly-bearded fellows had already come over with a grin.
"Mr. Zhou, is this house for takeaway?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "Of course, after this place is completed, it will naturally be taken out, but it ......"
Zhou Heng stopped with a smile, and the curly beard was a little anxious, and he got closer.
"Price is not a problem, how much do you want to sell, can I know? Also, for foreigners like us, is it possible to buy it? ”
Zhou Heng sighed and shook his head, his face was full of regret, Zhu Yunmo, who was standing under the umbrella not far away, shook his head and said to Xiao Bo next to him.
"Look, Zhou Heng is starting to deceive people again, the poor man is out of the house, and the money he earned hasn't been handed yet, so he wants to spend it, what can I do, Xiao Bo, do you think I should stop it?"
Xiao Bo smiled and bent down close to Zhu Yunmo's ear.
"This business slave doesn't understand, but the people from the capital factory guard have already come, although there are not many sent, just when we came out, they were planted everywhere around, look at this meaning, it should be protected."
However, our people also came back with news that it is said that the emperor is ill, and there is no early dynasty today. ”
