In this mountain of goods, the merchants and coolies sweated like rain, struggling to scramble for the ferries and sheepskin rafts that had just docked and unloaded, and each of them was surrounded by the bosses who were swarming up, stretching their necks and shouting desperately, and the boat boss on the ferry was almost close, and those who had crossed paths with the ship boss were like seeing relatives. Ignoring the muddy water under his feet and polluting the corners of his new shoes and robes, he pulled the arm of the boat boss and shouted one by one, one by one, and kept using his hand in the placket of the boat boss's clothes, comparing the price he offered. As a result, before the comparison was finished, an employer had already rushed there, and regardless of the rules on the road, he directly pulled the boat boss to bargain, and for a while, the boss was pulled by several bosses to stagger, just like a broken boat in the wind and waves of the Yellow River.

And as soon as the price is negotiated, they immediately begin to organize the manpower, move their goods to the nearest place, and keep their eyes firmly on the unloaded ferry.

There are those who are anxious, simply command their own men, join the coolies who unload the ship for the first time, unload the goods quickly, and then begin to beg, plead, beg those coolies not to rest, not to drink water, not to stop, to move their goods on the ship at the first time, the coolie money can be increased, even if it is doubled.

For the sake of doubling the wages, those coolies also burst out with infinite physical strength, their steps were fast, the trumpets were loud, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, a boatload of goods had been filled, and the boss of the merchant immediately jumped on the ferry, and urgently urged the boat boss to lift anchor and open the boat, until the ferry slowly and leisurely sailed away from the dock a foot, and the merchant and his men looked at the shore with relief, and the crowd of people who still had no heads and flies sat on the pile of goods, tired into a puddle of mud.

And those unloading looked at the wharf that was different from the previous day, and immediately understood the reason, and no longer dared to delay, directly hired mules and horses, and did not count the goods like the previous day, sorted out and sorted out, for fear that a cargo would be scattered, and now, even if there is a priceless jar of Shaanxi Lao Bai fell on the ground and broke, he just stomped his feet in distress, and he didn't care about scolding those who were in trouble, so hastily stacked on the pile, with a rope, and then anxiously urged the coachman who was strong on his feet, and directly hit the livestock, trotted and hurried to the interior.

The ferry has become so crazy for no other reason, just because last night, the head of the tax collector in Ji County was cut off, and at this time, no official was here to donate taxes, what does this mean? It means that a single order of goods will be left with three-tenths of the cost, which is a lot of money, how can we not take advantage of the gap in the government's plan to transport more goods to the other side, even if the government cool officials stop the plan, the boat is a foot away from the river bank is a victory.

Lu Shi was still lying on the table at this time, holding a bowl of herbal tea in one hand and pouring it violently, waving a pu fan in the other, and commanded Erlang loudly: "First stop all the guys in your hands, bring all the craftsmen to the dock, make a cameo as a coolie, and help those ferry workers load and unload materials, the sooner the better." ”

Erlang frowned, looked at the construction site in full swing, and said reluctantly: "I will go to move the goods, so what about my construction period?" ”

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, you put down your work, I promise, just two days, two days later, I will transfer all the porters on the dock, as well as a large number of boatmen, to the construction site for you, so that the construction period will not catch up in a blink of an eye?" ”

Running around, Li Chunhou, who was sweating like rain, was coming in at this time, picked up the big bowl at the corner of the table, drank it as soon as he raised his neck, and ignored the literati's Sven, he directly wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said urgently: "King Chuang, hurry up and send someone, if you don't send someone over, the goods on the dock will be piled up in the river." ”

Looking at Master Zixiu, who looked anxious and excited, he immediately assigned: "Mr. Zixiu, what are you still doing here?" The ferry port is in chaos, and we urgently need manpower to maintain order, so hurry up and take your servants. ”

Master Zixiu split his mouth and complained: "Where do I still have manpower now, I am the only one left, and the rest are on the ferry, no, I also asked King Chuang to send someone here, otherwise it will be squeezed to death." ”

Now Li Chunhou, who has been by Lu Shi's side for almost a month, has become familiar with the government affairs of the base area, and is also happy to accept the style of the officials in the base area, but also lost his corrupt Confucian body, and has become popular in handling things, which has won Lu Shi's praise.

But now, Lu Shi's mouth was full of bitterness, and he reached out to pick up the water bowl and was about to drink it, but it was empty, and after looking at Li Chun, who was full of water stains, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Zhang Xiao and Wang Jian were all sent to the ferry to help, and there was no one to pour water for themselves.

"Mr. Xiao's dispatch just now is the best, Erlang will go, as long as you wait for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the dock will suddenly be deserted, and when the time comes, all the people will be brought to the building, and everything will not be delayed." The person who said this was Zhao Zixianzun, who had been sitting in the ventilation and shaking a fan, waving the brush in his hand to work on the spot.

He has been here for two days, although no one has assigned him anything, but he still took over some core documents and other trivial matters that are not from within the base area, and put up a square desk office in a comfortable place, helping Lu Shi share a lot of burdens, especially the officials and officials he brought, although they are not as efficient as the government officials in the base area, but in terms of experience and the pressure in the hearts of the people, it is much stronger. Merchants from afar could not buy the accounts of the administrative officials, but they knew that the officials of the imperial court were powerful, so the order of the wharf construction site here was actually in order.

The government team of a court works for thieves and does it with peace of mind, which can be regarded as a different scenery.

Erlang saw that several people said this, so he had to agree, and took a few foremen directly to the construction site, and after a while, the construction site that was in full swing immediately stopped, and countless men rushed to the dock, and immediately there were bursts of cheers at the dock again.

Li Chunhou looked at Lu Shi who continued to bury his head in the case, and wondered: "King Chuang, we have done such a big thing, is it possible that the other side still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead and continues to refuse our conditions?" ”

Lu Shi kept in his hands, lowered his head and shook his head with a chuckle: "Some things, where is it so easy for people to give up?" An income of nearly 10,000 yuan a day will make many people greedy and forget about life and death. When one dies, there will be a second, so that one after another comes up, doing the last fluke, doing the last dying struggle, killing a few more, how can you be shocked? ”

"yes." Zhao Zi took the opportunity to move his sore waist, took over the words, looked at Lu Shi, who was still sitting like a mountain, and couldn't help but envy, he was still a young man with thousands of troops in and out, and his muscles and bones were boiled out, and he just couldn't keep up with such a rotten Confucian.

"Didn't Mr. Li see it? Hong Wuye kills corrupt officials in a year, and peels off the skin and grass to warn future generations, but in front of the white flowers, aren't corrupt officials endless? Now, in front of the daily progress of ten thousand gold, dying one or two can't shake their greed at all, so ah, kill, still have to kill, but it is unrealistic to expect to kill one or two and there will be results. ”

Saying this, in his tone, there was no longer the original meaning of being terrified at the mention of killing, and now, it was as easy as killing a neighbor's chicken.

"So, my second wave of men and horses have been secretly sent, but this time it's not a few people, a hundred prison sergeants have two full arms, which can be regarded as killing chickens with a knife." Lu Shi said with a smile.

"Isn't it too wasteful? I see the ability of the prison sergeant brothers, two hundred warriors, even if all the guards are dispatched, they will definitely be able to win in one battle, break the king, isn't it too much to exalt the other party? ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Li is right, this time he is going to prepare to deal with the entire army of the guard." Zhao Zi laughed, he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

"This time, the other side has definitely guessed that it was not me who did it, since I know that Mr. Xiao interfered, how dare I hold it up? It is not possible to use the lackeys of the guard, it must be a vicious battle, and it is not possible to have fewer troops, and this battle hopes to be resolved quickly, so that the opposite side can completely feel the strength and horror of the army, so that he can give birth to fear in the first war, and can no longer have the intention of resisting, so that the first battle will be fixed. ”

Lu Shi nodded approvingly, it seems that this county lord really guessed his thoughts, and he can't afford to drag it.

"Simply, just kill the meanders and occupy the ferry." Li Chunhou gritted his teeth and said, now, the death of the old lady made him completely hate the official army, but the real murderer is a guest on the throne, and he may also become his future boss, so he can only vent his hatred on others.

When Lu Shi heard this, he put down his pen, raised his head, and said solemnly: "I also want to do it so recklessly, but I know my strength, I can't challenge two big provinces by myself, then we are not far from destruction." ”

Li Chunhou suddenly realized when he heard this, and Zhao Zi couldn't help nodding lightly when he heard it, his eyes were full of the meaning of being a teachable child.

He has made such achievements at a young age, but he is still calm and unarrogant, and he is indeed the material for doing great things.

"Actually, I have another strategic idea." Lu Shi looked at the shed, only Li Chunhou, Zhao Zi and the three of themselves, and now he also wanted to explain his plans to the future leader of Yichuan government affairs, so that he could have a bottom in his heart, for Zhao Zi, now Lu Shi doesn't want anything else at all, the so-called secret, in front of Zhao Zi, is not a secret at all.

Zhao Zi laughed and said, "I'll talk about it for Mr. Xiao." ”

Lu Shi calmly asked for a word.

Zhao Zi slapped the folding fan into his hand and said: "Weinan, Mr. Xiao still has to finish the strategy you have not completed from Mizhi to the south, in the autumn when the Mongolian Tatars entered the Kou and the border army could not take care of him, the army firmly waved the army south, occupied the Weinan Plain, which has been the capital of the emperor since ancient times, and then entered and occupied the passes, guarded the passes on all sides, and recuperated in accordance with the way of Mr. Xiao's governance, recuperated and recuperated for a few years of stable development, and then went out of the Guanzhong, entered Heluo, and swept the world. ”

Lu Shi and Li Chunhou were shocked, and Lu Shi's surprise was that this Zhao Zi had such a far-sighted strategic vision, which was really a rare talent. Li Chunhou was surprised, when he saw Lu Shi's surprised expression, it proved that Zhao Zi was right in what he said, he was an enemy official, why did he understand the strategy of waiting for him so thoroughly? This person is not allowed to stay.
