Chapter 98: I caught a cold and slept all day, and I almost didn't catch up
Compared to Li Chengqian's excitement, Chen Mo frowned, there were only six hundred people, how could this number be enough? It seems that his plan to recruit people has been blocked by some well-intentioned people.
But they thought that this little means would stop his plan, but it would be naΓ―ve, and six hundred people would not be able to do anything? As long as it is within the controllable range of the spiritual land, it is extremely easy for Chen Mo to carry out the work.
The head of the Wang family looked at the rice grain on the ground, his face was a little solemn, and he said to the steward next to him and the person in shabby clothes: "Are you sure that our people did not sell grain to this Chen Mo and his men, there is no grain to grow in his field, and there is no record of selling grain to him in Lingnan, where did he get this grain from?" β
The steward took a careful look at his head of the family, and found that there was no sign of anger except for his solemn face, so he said: "Don't worry, the head of the family, we have already greeted the grain merchants of all sizes in Chang'an City, and no one will dare to sell them yet. The subordinates really don't know where they came from, maybe they have other channels, such as some families or... β
When they didn't pay attention to Chen Mo, they naturally wouldn't ask about it, but after they really paid attention to it, the families suddenly found that their most practical methods in the past had lost their effect on Chen Mo.
The head of the Wang family was silent for a moment and waved his hand to signal all his subordinates to leave, and then let the person who had signed the contract leave the Wang family with food, now this person is no longer the tenant of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family can see something from his uneasy demeanor, people are like this, once there is a new hope and a better place to go, they will be restless, and such a person will only be a disaster if he stays.
That's right, the family thought of the idea, they wanted their shops not to sell anything to Chen Mo, including all the things that could be used in daily life, and food was the top priority, recruiting people to build, and the food and other things that this person needed to eat and chew the horses would go to the sea.
I could still get it with the emperor before, but now the road in the court has also been blocked, in the eyes of the family, this Chen Mo will definitely have no way out in the future, but now the most restricted thing has gone wrong, and the head of the Wang family can be sure that this grain is not from any of their families, not even from Lingnan, but I don't know where it came from, how it came from, and whether there are any clues.
"It seems that it is necessary to think about the way back, don't fail to defeat this scourge at that time, but put yourself in it." The head of the Wang family has his own plan in his heart, as for whether to tell others, the smart will naturally find out by himself, if he is not smart, then why save it? Do you want to stay and pit your teammates?
What happened to the Wang family will naturally not be known by the outside, and more than 600 people who signed the contract today are all over every corner of Chang'an, a man like Zhang Erniu Iron Tower in a small alley where refugees gather, carrying a bag of rice is naturally very easy for him, but today he feels that this bag of rice is extraordinarily heavy, this is not dozens of catties of rice, but the hope of a family's life, the new owner said that he will eat and live, and then he has a place to eat, and the family can live until the end of the month with this bag of rice, When the time comes, he will have the salary to buy food for his family.
In the corner of the alley, the family hid inside, although it was almost summer, it would still be a little cold in rags, so they huddled together to keep warm.
Zhang Erniu's family of five fled from other places and came here, and made a register when the refugees registered, but when arranging the repatriation, they were afraid that their families would not be able to withstand it, so they hid and worked at the dock to work as a black worker.
"Mother, we don't have to starve, Erniu quickly take out the crockpot, Sanya, you go to find some firewood, Tiezhu, you go to fetch water, Chunhua, you take care of my mother and I will cook, we will have a good meal today!"
As soon as Zhang Erniu arrived, he said loudly, and the family was overjoyed, but his mother's face changed after she was happy, because she thought at first that her son was just earning some money to buy rice to improve his life, but she didn't expect to bring back a big bag.
"Zhang Erniu, Zhang Erniu, I can't think of you... Said, did you do anything to steal chickens and dogs, although my Zhang family is not a big family, but it also has its own rules, you... β
You didn't say anything, but Zhang Erniu was so frightened that he knelt down, because he almost fainted because he stood up and staggered to the old lady, and when he saw this scene, he didn't say anything and knelt down first to admit his mistake is the last word.
"Mother, listen to my explanation, I don't dare not listen to your teachings, I have found a good job, just outside the city, it is the industry of the immortals, and in the future, not only will I be able to pay ten times a month for food and housing, this rice is the first to find out to settle down with the family, where to live in the future, I only come back once a month, I really didn't do anything bad!"
Zhang Erniu is nervous, he is a person who is filial to his mother, the family fled to his mother several times in order to reduce their burden, and a person was ready to secretly beg for death, but he stopped him, and his daughter-in-law Chunhua is also a filial piety, so he even knelt down and begged her to say that if her mother begged for death because she didn't want to drag it down, she, a daughter-in-law, would have no shame to live in the world, which dispelled her desire to die.
After coming to Chang'an, he relied on Zhang Erniu's body and strength to live quite well, so he didn't want to be sent out, Chang'an is a good living person and it is better than farming and being bullied by those landlords, and as a result, his life can plummet directly from the previous one.
After the steward of the dock knew about Zhang Erniu, not only did he not sympathize with him, but reduced his salary, there was no way to live, Zhang Erniu could only endure it, the days were getting worse and worse, Zhang Erniu even wanted to simply go to the government by himself, although he would be punished and sent out, at least the family could have a way to live.
It is precisely because he already has such an idea that Zhang Erniu decisively gave up the job at the wharf after knowing the treatment of the cross slope recruitment, after all, it is impossible to get worse.
I didn't expect this to really go.,Not only did I find a job but also got life-saving rice.,After I came back, I misunderstood.,After the misunderstanding was resolved, the family and Meimei did it together.,Watching the rice in the crockpot turn into porridge.,Add some wild vegetables and the like.,The family drooled after the aroma came out.γ
"Hurry up and let my mother taste it!" Zhang Erniu served it in a broken bowl and served it to his mother.
The old man was left in tears after taking a sip of the hot porridge, which was probably the best he had eaten in months.
