Chapter 28 The Year After the Year
The first fleet to Liangshan set out that afternoon, taking with them more than 200 displaced people, because the constant arrival of displaced people made it difficult to receive Gujiazhuang, mainly lodging.
Ruan Xiaoqi led the fleet, and Lei Heng led a team of people to escort the ship. Gu Haotian was going to go over in person, but there were too many things at home to leave, but although Liangshan had been prepared, there was no safe person to press the scene, and he always felt uneasy in his heart.
Since Wen Huanzhang came back from Liangshan a few days ago, he knew about Gu Haotian's arrangements for him, so he took the initiative to ask to go with the ship. Wen Huanzhang is naturally the best candidate to go to Liangshan, but in recent years, it has been cold and freezing, and Gu Haotian feels very reluctant to go. Wen Huanzhang saw his thoughts, and said, "What is the inhibition of the husband's work", and went to take care of himself.
By the 28th of the lunar month, Gujiazhuang had relieved more than 800 displaced people, and the displaced people in Yuncheng County and its surroundings were basically absorbed, except for a very small number of self-employed people, nearly 800 people went to Liangshan. Gu Haotian learned from Xiao Rang's statistics that there were more than 400 young and strong people, half of whom were young and strong, more than 300 women and children, and only a few old people, which showed that only young and strong people could survive in the cruel environment.
But for Gu Haotian, this is the most ideal result, he plans to recruit more than 200 people under the age of 25 in the young and strong as escorts, and divide them into two teams for Su Sheng and Sun An to lead, so that the escort team on Liangshan can reach more than 500 people, with Wen Huanzhang in charge, and strong players such as Zhu Sheng, Sun An, Ma Qiang and Ruan family brothers, which can ensure that Liangshan is safe for a while.
The rest of the personnel, Gu Haotian also has their own arrangements, the brewing workshop needs manpower to expand the scale, the infrastructure is also short of people, even those women and children, can also arrange breeding, etc., in short, everyone has something to do and money to make. He knows that only by constantly paying and harvesting for the construction of Liangshan can these people establish a deep relationship with Liangshan and form a social ecology in Liangshan where everyone takes the mountain as their home and everyone competes for the first. For these ideas, Gu Haotian only talked to Wen Huanzhang roughly, and everything can only be planned in detail after the year.
Immediately after the 28th, it will be the New Year, which is the second Spring Festival in this world from Gu Haotian. Compared with the previous Spring Festival, there are huge changes this year, just from the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner personnel scale there is a clear difference, the main table in the lobby sat Gu Zhen, Zhou Dong, Gu Haotian, Zhu Gui, Xiao Rang, Gu Song, Bian Zhong and others, Bian Xiang, Zhou Yunqing, Ma Wei, Sun An, Ji Sheng, Gu Bo, Zhu Fu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, who came back for Wen Huanzhang to report the news, and others sat together, and the guards in the courtyard and the subordinates of the family also set up several tables, quite a bit of grandeur of the family.
Last year, Gu Haotian could only deliver a New Year's message to his family, but this year, looking at the heroes in the courtyard, thinking of the more than 1,000 people on Liangshan, it can be regarded as expanding the family business and stabilizing the foundation, I can't help but be a little complacent, and I am proud for a while, and I drank a few more drinks under the coaxing of Zhou Yunqing, Ji Sheng and others.
When he returned to the east wing with a drunken spirit, Pan Jinlian had already made hot tea and was waiting there, and the little girl seemed to have drunk some wine, her two faces were slightly red, and she looked like a tempting peach in the candlelight. Gu Haotian suddenly became angry, stepped forward and hugged her, and kissed her Shengxue fiercely on the cheek.
"Ahh Pan Jinlian was startled by the sudden sneak attack of the petty officials.
"Lian'er, you're so beautiful tonight." Gu Haotian was also woken up by this exclamation, he said something in disguise, and with the intention of drinking, with the fragrance of the remains, he hid in bed and dreamed.
Pan Jinlian stood there stunned, her face flushed. After entering the Gu family for a period of time, the petty officials have loved her, but she has always been in order, and sometimes she even doubts her own appearance. Suddenly, she secretly hated herself, if she hadn't screamed suddenly, the little official would have ......, and she felt that her face was hot for a while. After a long time, she quietly moved into the inner room, the little official was already asleep, the corners of his upturned mouth were still smiling, and his handsome face was still a little childish, but more of a man's fortitude.
"Little officials grew up", she thought to herself, and seemed to have a taste for something, and her face turned red again for a while.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Haotian paid New Year's greetings to the elders and masters in the family, and symbolically visited some neighbors in Zhuangzi, and began to be busy with the things at hand.
The relocation of the liquor workshop was the first major event of the new year, and he recruited Honka and Zhu Fu to explain the relevant matters, and prepared to set off with Ruan Xiaoqi's fleet on the fifth day of the new year. He has new ideas about Zhu Fu's arrangement, this is a talent, and it is too wasteful to keep him in the workshop for a lifetime to make wine. Lijia Daokou Hotel He sent Gu Bai to open in the past, but Gu Bai has no experience in the rivers and lakes after all, and he has not improved for a while. Zhu Fu originally also opened a hotel, and he was clever and experienced in the rivers and lakes, so he was the most suitable candidate. Besides, now that the workshop has moved to Liangshan, he has a more layer of certainty in personnel control, and he is not worried about technology leakage or diffusion.
When he said his thoughts to Zhu Fu, Zhu Fu was excited, he was also a free and easy man, he was pressed in the workshop for a period of time, and he was already excited to see the lively brothers outside.
"You don't have to worry about the little official's brewing, most of the people I brought with me these days will also know, I can give some pointers, even if there is a little bad pool, I can reach it at any time." He knew what Gu Haotian was worried about, and hurriedly expressed his position.
"Okay, you make arrangements first, and hand over as soon as you arrive at Liangshan." Gu Haotian responded immediately.
Soon it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and that night, under the strict protection of the escort team, the equipment of the wine workshop was disassembled and packed, and the relevant employees set off overnight.
Gu Haotian took Xiao Rang, Gu Song, Bian Xiang, Zhou Yunqing, Sun An, Ji Sheng, Zhu Fu and others to go together, leaving only Gu Bo and Ma Xun at home, but with Zhou Dong in charge, Gu Haotian was very relieved.
Xiao Rang's literacy class will be transferred to Liangshan in the future, and after he arrives in Liangshan, he will also work as an assistant for Wen Huanzhang to assist in daily affairs; Of course, Honka is still in charge of the wine workshop, and Gu Haotian is also ready to exchange Gu Bai back to assist him; Sun An and Su Sheng were in charge of the two escort teams, and Zhu Fu took over the hotel at the entrance of the Li family in Gubai; As for Zhou Yunqing, he was completely joining in the fun, and he had to come with him.
There is also a Lei blacksmith's family with the ship, the blacksmith is also a technical talent in this era, although the Lei blacksmith does not have superb skills, but the general craftsmanship is still there, and Liangshan is using the infrastructure construction. Therefore, Gu Haotian took the opportunity of Lei Heng's return a year ago to do a good job of his parents, and promised heavy profits. The blacksmith couple saw that their son had already worked with the petty officials in Liangshan and it was profitable, so they gladly agreed.
The sky was bright, the fleet arrived at the golden beach, and Wen Huanzhang led everyone to wait at the bottom of the mountain.
"Master, thank you for your hard work!" Gu Haotian jumped down and held Wen Huanzhang's hand tightly.
"Why do you and I need to be so cheesy, I don't know that being a teacher is also fun." Wen Huanzhang smiled and walked side by side with Gu Haotian to the mountain.
When I arrived at the mountain, I saw a busy crowd everywhere, Wen Huanzhang implemented the method of cash-for-work very well, and the displaced people on the mountain, regardless of men, women, and children, were paid according to their work, and this policy greatly stimulated everyone's enthusiasm for labor.
Wen Huanzhang discovered this sign in time, and issued an order that if the homeless people voluntarily married should go to the place where the manor steward went to handle the marriage papers, otherwise they would be expelled from the manor once discovered. This order immediately put an end to the confusion in the relationship between men and women among the displaced people, but at the same time prompted the establishment of more than a dozen new families among the displaced people in a short period of time.
Gu Haotian was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Wen Huanzhang to come up with a way to get a marriage certificate in later generations, thinking that Liangshan has become an independent small society, and it will inevitably expand even more in the future, so he immediately said that this method is very good, and the marriage on Liangshan will follow this example in the future.
In more than half a month, Liangshan has undergone great changes. The houses have been repaired, the roads have been repaired far, the foundation stone of the council hall under the main peak is being laid, part of the valley in the back mountain has been cleared, and the trees cut down are just for the infrastructure construction in front. Honka, Sun An, Zhu Sheng, and Zhu Fu are all newcomers, and they are very novel.
All the equipment of the sake brewery has been moved to the new site, and Honka has circled around the new site several times, and he likes it very much.
"The little official is really an excellent place for the workshop here, no matter how big the scale is in the future, there is no need to worry, but it is a little laborious to transport it out."
"You don't have to worry about transporting, you will have more mules and horses at that time, and there will be a waterway under the mountain, which is also convenient, but it will be hard for you to get old after that."
"So the old man is also relieved, the mountains and rivers here are excellent, and it is not bad to bring his family together in a few days, and live a happy life here." Honka was very satisfied with the environment in Yangsan.
Of course, Gu Haotian was also happy, so he went to the steward's room of the workshop with Wen Huanzhang to discuss the follow-up matters.
At present, there are 1,500 or 6 people on the mountain, and more than 300 escorts, which is equivalent to the size of a large market town in this era. Gu Haotian's plan is this: the navy will be expanded to about 200, and the Ruan brothers will be in charge, and Liangshan is an isolated island in the lake, and the safety of the water surface is very important; The escort team on land has expanded to about 400 people, of which 100 people are centered on the old guards of Gujiazhuang, and Ma Qiang and Lei Heng are temporarily in charge, acting as the role of the teaching group, responsible for training new members, and stipulating that everyone who enters the escort team in the future must go through this training; Another 200 people were selected to be divided into two teams, with Sun An and Su Sheng in charge as the main force on land; He had other ideas about the use of Du Qian and Song Wan, these two people were indeed weaker in force and were of little use in combat, but the two, especially Du Qian, were earlier with him and were trustworthy, and he wanted the two to be responsible for logistics and maintain law and order, and play the role of a logistics management team; For the rest of the staff, Gu Song is in charge of the wine workshop, Tao Zongwang is in charge of the infrastructure, Zhu Fu is in charge of the hotel in Lijiadaokou and takes care of intelligence collection, and Xiao Rang is Wen Huanzhang's assistant and the old job of teaching.
Gu Haotian told his arrangement in one breath, Wen Huanzhang thought carefully for a while, felt that there were no major loopholes, and secretly praised his disciples for being thoughtful. It's just that although Du Qian and Song Wan are loyal, they can keep it, and if they expand outward in the future, it seems to be insufficient. It's just that the two of them think that there is no suitable manpower at the moment, so they can only use it first.
For a whole morning, the master and apprentice took a look at Liangshan's immediate affairs and roughly set the development plan for the near future, which was a moment of relaxation.
