Chapter 278: The Merchant Arrives

"Joining forces? Hehe, Jiang Cong, why are you joining forces with me? In addition to being a little stronger than others in your forbearance skills, what other abilities do you have? Or do you have some other power? Qin Forget asked mockingly.

"I know that the general looks down on us gentlemen, but the general should not deny it, we people are from famous families, and our knowledge since childhood is not comparable to you poor children. And those of us who have been taught by famous teachers since we were young have more or less the ability to take care of the family, otherwise the head of the family would not have chosen us as candidates for the future head of the family. Let's just say that Huang Ming, his biggest strength is that he can make friends and make friends. That Fang Gang, a first-hand landscape painting, is famous throughout the Northland, and Li Jun is very talented in business. And I, they call me Jiang Hu because they think I'm as cunning as a fox. ”

"Looks like you're still using something." Qin Wu raised his eyebrows and said a little unexpectedly.

"That's natural, children like us don't have a problem when we're young. In the future, it will naturally rise step by step, and eventually become the class that holds the power. The general can look at the current rulers of Dayan, which one was not a gentleman when he was young? When Wen Man was young, he slept in all the Qinglou in Youzhou in January, and Li Cheng'an's humiliation of the champion of the poor family on the street is still spreading in Youzhou. Even His Majesty Cao Ziwen, what was he like when he was young? What now? See what they're doing? has no real skills, it all depends on their so-called eldest son's identity? ”

Jiang Cong's words made Qin Forget ponder, it seems that these so-called gentlemen are not really useless, they still have some ability, it seems that they should be careful with these people in the future, so as not to suffer a big loss.

"Okay, don't say I won't give you a chance, go to the boot camp for half a year first, and then it's a mule or a horse, let's slip." After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Forget finally made a decision.

"General, I can't bear it below, I beg the general to let me go down immediately to take revenge." Jiang Cong kowtowed again and again.

Looking at Jiang Cong with blood and tears on his face, Qin Wang's heart softened, speaking of an accomplice like Jiang Cong, the debt repayment this time was almost over, and Jiang Cong's family was killed all over the house because of this incident.

"Okay, you want to take revenge now, and I will fulfill you." Qin Forget untied the horizontal knife on his waist and threw it in front of Jiang Cong, "Now that you are free, go ahead, go to Yunzhou and kill the Golden Mountain, and kill the other families." ”

Jiang Cong looked at the horizontal knife on the ground and couldn't say a word, how could he take revenge single-handedly.

"What? Not going? Qin Forget looked at Jiang Cong mockingly, "You also know that you can't take revenge now, so what do you want my Chicheng Army to do?" In order to avenge you, go all out to attack Ulju Golden Mountain? Are you stupid or am I stupid? ”

Jiang Cong just cried and didn't say a word.

Seeing that he was pitiful, Qin Forget sighed, "Remember, you can't take revenge now, so let yourself live well." You behaved very well just now, if you let Li Fang and the others know that you are still a normal person, you will have to find a way to clean you up to prevent future troubles. Go to the boot camp, it's up to you whether you have a chance to take revenge, if you yourself are a complete waste, I won't help you. ”

Jiang Cong could only agree.

Another month passed in a hurry, and in this month, Akagi underwent earth-shaking changes.

The first is that the population has suddenly increased a lot, Huang Ling

He Helin successively transported 70,000 or 80,000 people to Chicheng, and as soon as these people arrived, the young men were immediately selected and assigned to major construction sites. The rest of the old and weak women and children were arranged in the two county towns.

Now Chicheng and Yexian are full of these old Confucian women and children, just like two huge shelters, and young and strong people can hardly see one outside the major construction sites except for the soldiers.

Being able to arrange so many people was still thanks to the huge amount of silver taels and materials that Qin Forget received from the Golden Mountain this time. Tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of stones of grain are enough for Akagi to use for a long time.

Another big change is that several projects in Akagi are being built at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Since the beginning of spring, the ground has become warm and soft, and the excavation of the foundations of the two cities has been more than ten times faster than before, and a third of the excavation has been completed in just one month. And it's even faster because more labor is added.

Because of the large number of craftsmen and skilled workers, the wharf and the thousands of large and small warehouses, warehouses and liquor stores have been built at a rapid pace, and more than 400 have been completed, which is enough for the initial establishment of the tea horse market. The speed of collecting timber and stones in the mountains has also increased significantly, and the huge convoy of 3,000 people has been transporting raw materials to major construction sites day and night.

Starting from Chicheng and Yexian, there are large construction sites for more than ten miles to the north, and 200,000 laborers work hard day and night regardless of the sky. Countless laborers are busy in an orderly manner like ants moving. Under their hands, docks, walls, fields, and roads slowly took shape, and the simple shacks that covered the earth were their anthills.

Qin Wang's idea is being completed little by little.

Today, the unfinished terminal welcomes its second wave of users. The reason why it is said to be the second wave is because half a month ago, the thirty merchants contacted by Jincheng sent the first batch of 250,000 stone of grain to Akagi. And this time, it was the merchant contacted by Chen Wan'er, and a total of 150,000 stone of grain was sent over together. With the fleet came all the merchants.

The wharf within a radius of 100 miles was filled with more than 2,500 small boats of 100 stones, which were next to each other and sails to sail, covering the entire water. From afar, you can only see forest-like masts, and nothing else.

Qin Forget looked excitedly at the pomp and circumstance in front of him, those small boats were full of food, and the draft was so deep that it seemed that the river water would almost fill the cabin. 150,000 stones, plus the 250,000 stones originally sent, plus the million stones of grain sent by the Golden Mountain, were enough for more than 300,000 people in Chicheng to consume for two years. There is no need to worry about food anymore, how can Qin Wang, who is hungry and scared, not be excited?

"My dear, how long is this going to take?" Yin Xian, who was next to Qin Wang, swallowed and spat, and said dumbfounded.

"That's right, these grains are like a mountain, take them away?" The treasurer also frowned and said.

Hearing the words of the two, Qin Wang laughed heartily, "I have everything, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it?" Yin Xian, you went over and told Dong Da to temporarily requisition their 3,000 ox carts and all the young and strong, and move them vigorously for me. Well, it's just a few big warehouses that have just been repaired for the time being, it's enough. ”

"Yes, General." Yin Xian replied, and hurriedly turned his head to find Dong Da, there are so many things, you have to hurry

Move. One more day of delay, so many people, so many ox carts, how many things have to be delayed.

"Yang Xuan, mobilize the two armies of the iron armor to garrison those granaries, close to the one hundred steps, kill!" Qin Forget ordered Yang Xuan again.

"Yes!" Yang Xuan solemnly accepted the order, and also strode down to make arrangements.

Qin Forget looked at a big boat in the distance, Chen Wan'er and Jin Cheng walked down with more than fifty people, and greeted them with a smile on their faces.

Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er had also seen Qin Forget a long time ago, and when they saw him striding over, the two of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over.

The two sides soon converged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Akagi Qin Forget, thank you for your help." Looking at those businessmen in gorgeous clothes, Qin Forget took the lead in saluting.

Since ancient times, the merchants of the four industries of Shinong and Industry have been the most lowly and the most despised by people in other industries, but Qin Forget did not mean to despise them at all. If the people of Akagi are his foundation, then these people are his God of Wealth, and naturally they can't be easily offended.

When they saw Qin Forget for the first time, everyone's first reaction was that they were young, they were really too young, although they were mentally prepared, they didn't expect that he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Tall, fair-skinned, and immature with a young man's face, it was hard to imagine that such a child had done such a big thing.

After looking at Qin Forget a few more times, a sentence appeared in everyone's hearts, "What a handsome young man, what a young hero." ”

The tall body, the powerful and murderous intent, but he has the scholarly air of a scholar, but these two contradictory temperaments are perfectly integrated in him. On the handsome face, a pair of narrow eyes are cold and clean, deep and calm, like an ancient well, bottomless, and the fly in the ointment is that the face is too pale. Although he is a prince, he is not arrogant or arrogant, and his unusually standard etiquette and sincere attitude make people feel like a spring breeze and are very comfortable. Qin Forget won the favor of all the businessmen in the first place.

"The general really tortured us, please accept my wait!" Just when the merchants were stunned, an old voice suddenly said.

Everyone came back to their senses, "I'll wait for Xiaomin to see the general!" ”

"You don't have to be like this, what kind of small people, generals, Qin Forget is also a white body now." Qin Forget stretched out his hand to help the old man just now, and said with a smile.

Qin Wang's words made the businessmen laugh.

It seems that this killing god is not so difficult to get along with, many people think so.

But these people didn't dare to despise Qin Wang, Qin Wu had actually controlled the Tea Horse Market, these people had already known, who of these unprofitable businessmen wanted to offend him easily? There are also more well-informed people who have heard that the Great Yan Dynasty has planned to give Qin Forget the official title, that is to say, the white-clothed general in front of him will not be long before he becomes a real general.

"Everyone, my Chicheng is in ruins now, you have traveled thousands of miles to help Chicheng, Qin forgot to thank you. Rest assured, everyone's kindness, Qin Forget is unforgettable. Qin Forget gave those merchants another salute.

Qin Forget's words made the hearts of those businessmen who were stared at and blackmailed everywhere even more comfortable, and they said beautiful things while returning the courtesy. They were very moved by Qin Wang's actions, and many people decided to increase their investment in Akagi on the spot.
