After Li Yuanyang left, Li Hu met a few more subordinates who came from afar.

Li Hu listened to them talk about the fundraising led by his friend Fan Zhen, and said that Fan Zhen's brother did not have a prominent business, and there was no surprise in the weaving industry he chose.

Li Hu thought for a moment and said, "Send an experienced person to help him." With Fan Zhen's personality and fame, his brother will not cheat on his debts, and he will always get back the loan. The key is to let people know that there is this fundraising, so that more talented people can find us and rely on us Dongxia. As soon as I came forward, it was tantamount to forcing official and private banks to lend. I only analyzed it for you, and after you straightened it out, I told Qian Zhuang to reassure them. ”

He got up and said, "It's called talent investment." These people are destined not to be unknown, how can they rely on a few thousand taels of silver? Once he shines, it's too late for you to invest. How can the icing on the cake be as good as charcoal in the snow? ”

When everyone agreed, he said: "The books purchased from China, send some to Brother Fan in my name, and I will pick them myself according to the outline, Fan Zhen is a studious person, he will be ecstatic." ”

Sent people away, finished dealing with a bunch of affairs on the case, and was about to go to study again, and someone at home called him.

When he arrived at Yang Yanyan's house, no one expected that Zhang Caizhu would come with his eldest son.

Before Yang's mother could speak, Zhang Changzhu pulled his son, knelt down for Li Hu, and said with a resolute look on his face: "Although the money is gone, as long as my father and son are diligent and willing to work, they can get up again." We have to meet a noble person like Gongzi, who is willing to let us learn to treat stones, this is an opportunity for us, we don't need wages, we can carry stones first. Please Li Hu Gongzi believe in us, we will definitely learn to treat stones. ”

Li Hu was taken aback.

He wasn't surprised that the other party really came to the stone field.

This rich man showed a bully of the soft and afraid of the hard, he has not looked at it much, but he didn't expect to have such resilience, the blows followed, the leg was lame, the money was gone, and some land at home, I was afraid that because I didn't dare to hire fugitives anymore, the income would be difficult to look at, but I made up my mind to come to learn to treat the stone.

Unable to react, Mother Yang hurriedly said, "You quickly help them up, his father's leg is not good." He turned his face and said, "What are you talking about?" How can I not pay you. Learning a stone is a learning stone, can it be justified if you don't pay for it? ”

Rich Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Old aunt." Where do you know this? Li Hu is now in such a big stone yard and sells so well in stone tools, he is willing to learn and let you know how to do it, which can't be exchanged for any amount of money. ”

This is also a kind of Jingkang person, hardworking, tenacious, and can bubble up when there is a chance, who said that his father and son have made up their minds and will not succeed in curing stones.

If they come out to heal stones, who says they will not succeed?

This is also an investment in talent.

Li Hu was also excited, and helped them up and said, "Let's learn." After I finish my studies, I will lend you money and reopen your quarry. ”

The two of them had some food at Yang's house, and they didn't know if they were hungry, so they were going to the stone field and let them work as soon as they were asked, which showed the urgency in their hearts.

When they left, Mother Yang said to Li Hu: "This let them come to learn stones, I don't know if they are short of food, take care of their faces, come to give a job, I didn't expect that people and land will not be planted, really come, and come two." Didn't they come out to steal your business again? ”

Li Hu smiled: "Auntie is still guarding against them? My business is big, and they can't grab it at all. ”

Yes, my business is so big that I want to be in the world, how can they grab it?

I'm using capital to operate and invest in talents.

If they learn to manage the stone and can manage it, what does it matter if they hand over the quarry to them to operate? Li Yuanyang can't be the owner of the field all year round.

Li Hu said: "Not only do they learn to treat stones. I also have to solve their worries. If you don't dare to plant the land, and you can't take care of farming, I will let people plant it for him. Tell him, let him put his property in my name, and I think who will ask for the fugitives? Where are the fugitives, it is clear that the families who can't pay the taxes have no way out. ”

Mother Yang was not as bold as him, and her heart was not steady, so she asked: "You raise some money, and hurry up to the county to send some money to the officials." It's hard to guarantee that Sodin won't come to our house. If you are short of money, you tell the eldest mother, your brother's money, the eldest mother is putting it for him, give it to you to use first, if it is not enough, let your uncle also take some money from the bottom of the box. ”

Li Hu said, "No. They didn't dare to come to Sodin, so they could rest assured. ”

Yang's mother was not at ease, and someone at the entrance of the village ran back and shouted: "A team of officers and soldiers is here." A squad of officers and soldiers came. They said they were looking for Li Hu. ”

Mother Yang couldn't help but faint.

Li Hu stepped forward to help her, and sat her down with her distant relative Yang Xiaoya, and wanted to persuade her again, but Yang's mother said, "You go." I asked people to call the people in the village, and people to call people on your uncle's arrow, and the people in the stone field also asked them to come up. ”

Li Hu thought for a moment and read out three words from his mouth: "Shi Jingsun?!" ”

He said, "This is my sworn brother, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake, so maybe he has brought you a gift." ”

He persuaded Mother Yang inside, but he couldn't take care of things outside, and there was commotion everywhere.

You know, this officer and soldier has been Suodin recently, what are you doing with Sodin, and then send it to the canal.

The people in the village were originally going to run, but they saw the smoke and dust on the Dongxia arrows on the other side of the river, and knew that they were riding horses to help, thinking that Li Hu was also there, and there were many people, and they didn't know where they got the courage, so they simply didn't run, and fished for farm tools, so that women and children hid and hid, knocking on the copper basin and shouting to the same village.

The stone field is far away, and I don't know what's going on, so I not only blew Xun, but also hung a red hanging flag on the big pole to inform the people in the mountain that there was a situation.

Tuli Niu was guarding the yard, following in a daze, this Jingkang was not as familiar as Dongxia, and it was difficult for him to judge what would happen.

He whistled, waited for someone to rush over, and shouted, "Go and give Lao Tzu some troops." ”

More and more people ran here, looking for Li Hu to assert, and when Li Hu came out, the yard was full of people, and Li Hu walked forward, and they followed.

The masons on the quarry were also assembled, because they practiced on weekdays, and ran in two rows, carrying various utensils, around the village to the entrance of the village.

The arrows on the Dongxia also judged that they were looking for Li Hu, or chasing the fugitive Ding, some rode over on horseback, and some rode to notify the neighbors and let them come to support.

Shi Jingsun rode on a horse, walking in front of the officers and soldiers, and several officers and soldiers behind him carried boxes, which were gifts for the elders.

It is said that he can not bring troops, but he brought it, and brought hundreds of people, this is to show people, to show Li Hu, the original intention is to scare him, so as not to be arrogant in the future, but I didn't expect that this place is different from other places, and everyone takes advantage of them to go to the rich man's house first, but gathers.

At first, the people were going to gather in a place where he couldn't see first, and he didn't think that he was pulling a long line and marching slowly, but he didn't expect to stop at the entrance of the village, and wait for the team to find a spacious place to arrange the camp, the people had already come up, and the people in the village guarded the entrance of the village first, and then the people on the stone field and the opposite arrow arrived.

Piles of Ding Zhuang, because of the heat, shirtless, because they have eaten well recently, all of them are bright and meaty, they have turbans, some hold their hair, some are afraid, some are full of excitement, some are standing on a slightly higher place, some are snuggled up to their partners, holding farm tools. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed dramatically, and the officers and men of the entire group at the entrance of the village were surrounded instead.
