Chapter 37 Recruitment of Stove Households

The next day, north of Dongping Lake.

Liu Juntao and Yan Hu found a shady place to rest, and the ten escort team members also rested in the shade around them.

Everyone has been here for nearly an hour, but they have not seen any trace of Chen Ziping, Gao Ran and others.

The reeds of Dongping Lake are too vast, and Liu Juntao and others have no way to find them, so they can only rest here for a while to see if they can wait for Chen Ziping and others, after all, the news of the collapse of the Wang family has been flying all over the sky at this time, so as long as Chen Ziping and others know the news, they will definitely send people to investigate the news around the reeds.

"Big brother, we might as well leave a few Wang family members alive, and now we can go and find those stove households."

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if we can't wait today, just come back in a few days." Huzi rest assured, as long as Chen Ziping and Gao Ran learn the news of the collapse of the Wang family, they will definitely show up, and they will definitely be more anxious than us at that time! ”

Yan Hu nodded after pondering, and felt at ease.

In the afternoon, Liu Juntao saw that there was still no movement in the reeds, and he had no intention of sending someone in to look for them, after all, the reeds were full of dangers, and there was no need to let his men take risks.

So, Liu Juntao was ready to take everyone back and come back in two days.

Suddenly, the reeds not far away shook a few times, and I saw a few men walking out of the dense reeds and walking briskly towards Liu Juntao and the others.

Liu Juntao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Chen Ziping and Gao Ran, and there were several stove men behind the two.

"Brother Chen, Senior Brother!"

Liu Juntao walked forward with a smile to say hello, and Yan Hu next to him also waved his hand and followed with ten young guards of the guards.

When the two sides met, they saw Chen Ziping's face turning blue and looking at Liu Juntao and the others without saying a word, but Gao Ran said with a surprised face: "The Wang family has been destroyed!" Did you really do it? ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "I will do what I say!" I will take over the Wang family's private salt business in the shortest possible time, and then we can cooperate, you continue to sell the private salt to me, and I will buy it at a higher price! ”

Hearing this, Gao Ran hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

"What was the price at which the Wang family bought your private salt before?"

Gao Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Five cents per catty!" ”

Liu Juntao thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then how about I pay eight cents per catty?" ”

"That's true!"

Gao Ran was excited when he heard this, although the purchase price of private salt per catty, Liu Juntao only gave three cents, but the amount of private salt boiled by Gao Ran and others was huge, and in the face of the huge amount, everyone's income would be very considerable, at least much stronger than when they worked hard for the Wang family before.

At this time, Chen Ziping stopped Gao Ran, who was about to say something, and said in a deep voice: "It's a bit early to say this now, right?" ”

"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Ziping said: "The Wang family is finished, but we can find the next home on our own, there is no need to sell it to you Yushan Collection!" After all, once the Liu family in Ansan Town is in trouble, you Yushanji will not have the slightest way to live! ”

Hearing this, Yan Hu next to him looked angry and said, "What's wrong with the Liu family?" As long as the Liu family dares to go against my Yushan set, it will still be a death! ”

Chen Ziping didn't debate anything with Yan Hu when he heard this, but just smiled disdainfully and stared at Liu Juntao.

Liu Juntao pondered for a while and said: "In this way, you hundreds of men are still ready to find another strong man to rely on, and you don't want to conspire with me Yushanji to get rich?" Are you ready to be bullied by other tyrants again? ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran's faces changed suddenly, but they didn't say anything.

"My Yushanji desperately destroyed the Wang family and gave you a good way out, you still want to continue to rely on Haoqiang to live, don't you have a little blood in your bones!"

At this time, Chen Ziping's face was very ugly, he sighed heavily, and said: "We are all people with families, and if we go to fight with Haoqiang, we will die, what will our family do?" ”

Liu Juntao pointed to the ten guards behind him and said, "Don't they have families?" When the Wang family bullied the head, these brothers and I did not hesitate at all, and directly fought back! Now that I have not only destroyed the Wang family, but also captured the gold and silver seas, my Yushanji will become the leading force in Yanzhou Mansion and even the entire Shandong in the future, this is what a man should do! Instead of looking for a master for yourself everywhere like you! ”

When Chen Ziping heard this, he suddenly stood in place and looked at Liu Juntao blankly.

And Gao Ran felt the blood boiling in his heart, grabbed Chen Ziping and said, "Brother Liu is right! Our hundreds of brothers have suffered for so many years, and you haven't had enough of this kind of nest life! ”

"But, we can't beat the Liu family! No way! ”

Liu Juntao said sharply: "I haven't fought, how can you be sure that we are not the opponent of the Liu family?" A few months ago, no one in my Yushan set believed that he was the opponent of the Bafang of the Yushan Bandit Town, and no one believed that he would be the opponent of the Wang family. But now, Zhen Bafang and Wang Taili have gone to see the king of Hades, and my Yushan set is still as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Hearing this, Chen Ziping's face changed drastically, and then he fell to the ground suddenly, and said: "I, Chen Ziping, have been calculating and weighing all my life, and today I am also impulsive, and I took these hundreds of brothers and thousands of stove households under my command to Yushanji, hoping that Brother Liu can find a good future for us!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Ran took the few stove men to the ground, and everyone shouted "Meet the big brother!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Juntao hurriedly helped Chen Ziping and Gao Ran up, and Yan Hu and other young men on the side also helped up the few stove men.

"Good! From now on, we will be brothers, we will break through together, and we will enjoy the blessings together! ”

After speaking, Chen Ziping and Gao Ran invited Liu Juntao to go into the reeds together and spend the night by the lake where all the stove households lived.

Liu Juntao pondered for a while and asked, "How is your residence in the reeds?" ”

Gao Ran said: "My eldest brother, where is there any shelter, we live in some nests, and we have to guard against wild wolves and thieves at night, saying that it is good to sleep in the open!" ”

Liu Juntao sighed and said, "I think so, you go back first, bring all the stove brothers and their families out, and don't live in the dangerous reeds from now on!" ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and asked in unison: "Then where are our nearly 2,000 people going to live!" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Isn't there a deserted post station not far from the north? I would like to divide your hundreds of stove households into three parts: some of the stove households who are willing to continue boiling private salt will all be moved to the abandoned post house, and I will pay for the renovation of the place as your dwelling, and the base of my Yushan salt business; If all the stove households who are unwilling to continue boiling private salt move to Yushanji, I will also pay for the construction of residences for these stove households, and help them reclaim wasteland to live; In the end, I want the two of you to pull out all the young people in the stove household and incorporate them into my Yushan Collective Guard. Only when we are strong in force can we wrestle with a strong man like the Liu family! ”

Chen Ziping pondered when he heard this, while Gao Ran was a little tempted, no matter how dilapidated that deserted post station was, it was more than a hundred times stronger than the wilderness in the reeds!

"Good! Let's go back and make arrangements! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziping immediately nodded and agreed.

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran did not delay, and immediately said goodbye to Liu Juntao and rushed back with a few stove men.

Before leaving, Liu Juntao and the two agreed that four days later, Liu Juntao would gather with everyone at the deserted post station.

Yan Hu saw that Yushanji had received the support of hundreds of stove households, which was a big help, and he immediately smiled.

But Liu Juntao was thoughtful and said to Yan Hu: "You go back immediately, send someone to Slip Town to call Tang Yu back." Tell Tang Yu to immediately allocate money and grain, hire craftsmen, and bring all the money, grain and craftsmen who repaired the abandoned post station in four days, and plan the location of the new house in the village! ”

Yan Hu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, the money and grain we seized are going to be spent like water!" ”

"The daughter is gone, and she will come back!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Compared to the sincere submission of those hundreds of stove households, just money and food are nothing!" ”

"But there is no money, what can we do with the escort team?"

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "The Wang family in Huakou Town is already so rich, so what about the Liu family in Anshan Town?" I expect that as long as we defeat the Liu family, then our Yushan set will be completely prosperous! ”

On the same day, Yan Hu rushed back with two escort team Qingzhuang, while Liu Juntao took the remaining eight escort team Qingzhuang to the deserted post station.

Liu Juntao is going to stay here for four days, firstly, in order to wait for Chen Ziping and Gao Ran to come to vote nearby, showing his sincerity, and secondly, he is also ready to take a closer look and plan to renovate this place in the future.

"It's time to change the name of this post station, I think it's called Yushan Salt Pond!"

Four days later, Yan Hu and Tang Yu rushed to the abandoned post station with more than a dozen bricklayers, carpenters, and three carts of grain.

Liu Juntao immediately took the dozen bricklayers and carpenters around the post station and explained his plan to everyone one by one.

"The rows of houses here are for people to live in, so they must be repaired better."

"These houses need to be repaired stronger, and all the empty spaces over there will be leveled. In addition, the innermost few large houses must ensure that there is no rain leakage and do a good job of moisture-proof measures! ”

In the end, Liu Juntao found a carpenter and said: "Hurry up and make a plaque, just write the words Yushan Salt Pond!" ”

The carpenter hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Ziping and Gao Ran arrived as scheduled with more than 300 households and more than 1,500 stove households.

In the blink of an eye, the "Yushan Salt Pond" was filled, full of women and children looking around, and everywhere were busy talking about the stove men, and the post station, which had been quiet for a long time, instantly became full of people.

Liu Juntao pulled Chen Ziping and Gao Ran, and said to the two: "From now on, this place will be called Yushan Salt Pond, and the stove households who are willing to continue to boil private salt will live here, and I will send food and daily necessities every month." In the future, after all the stove men are incorporated into the escort team, there will also be a team of people stationed here, so the safety of the brothers and families will not be a problem! ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran thanked them again and again when they heard this.

Chen Ziping said with a smile: "Big brother, Gao Ran and I have already counted, among the three hundred and eighty-five stove households, two hundred are willing to stay here and continue to boil private salt, and the rest are willing to go to Yushanji!" ”

Gao Ran also added: "In addition, we have estimated that we should be able to gather about three hundred young people to join the escort team!" ”

Liu Juntao asked: "Is there enough manpower to boil private salt?" ”

"Enough! Those women, the elderly, and even older children can help, no problem! Chen Ziping said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was relieved.

That night, everyone stayed overnight in the Yushan Salt Pond, and Liu Juntao ordered the grain to be distributed by households, and all the rest of the food was made into meals.

Yan Hu led everyone to light a bonfire, and everyone had an open-air dinner in the salt pond of Yushan, and the scene was very lively, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that the crowd dispersed one after another.
