Chapter 75: Wait for the support of the old man
Xue Lian and the other five sisters all left the deer park and transported goods to various nomadic tribes in the surrounding area. They had to come in person, both to trade and to visit old friends.
Originally! Bai Gui also wanted to go, but he married the sheep girl, so he stayed. Furthermore! The Deer Park tribe is a base area, one is to guard the goods, and the other is to accept the goods that are traded. It is impossible to do without a person who can call the shots here, so he can't leave.
Uni-clawed beasts, one-eyed beasts, unicorns, and others were all sent out to serve as transportation and protection tasks.
In order to avoid suspicion, Uncle Wu did not dare to openly associate with Bai Gui and the people of the Deer Park tribe. After all! His family is still in Yiqu and fears reprisals from the king of Yiqu. In order to repay the favor, he secretly helped Snow Lotus and kept Snow Lotus safe. Other than that! He also gathered intelligence and paid attention to the movements of King Yiqu.
This day! Bai Gui took the giant Yang Niu and the old man and others, left the Deer Park tribe, and the caravan marched in the direction of Zhongshan Kingdom. After three days, arrive at the grove destination.
After piling up the goods together, Bai Gui sent back those migrant workers who did not trust, leaving only those who trusted. These trusted people are all henchmen of the old man. But! Bai Gui didn't fully believe them. Bai Gui believes in the people of his own caravan.
After coming to the deer park, none of the people in the Baigui caravan left. The people who transported the goods were all hired temporarily from the side of the Deer Park tribe. The people hired by Xue Lian from Yinshan Town, Zhongshan Country, are still in the Deer Park tribe, taking care of the goods. When Snow Lotus returns, Snow Lotus will take them back to Zhongshan Kingdom.
Bai Gui is just as worried about these people as he is, and he doesn't dare to reuse them. Albeit! They fought two battles with the Yiqu people on the way here, and the hearts of the people were already very united, but they were definitely not as loyal as the people of Bai Gui's predecessor caravan.
The people in Bai Gui's predecessor caravan have all been tested by life and death, and they are all diehards. Only die-hard loyalists can be trusted.
After settling down in the grove, Bai Gui found an opportunity and took his father-in-law, Big Mac's wife and Yang Niu and other cronies to the direction of the small hill. Go around to the back of the hill and climb to the top of the hill.
"Wow! Is there such a good place here? How come I, the leader of the Deer Park tribe, don't even know? Looking at this feng shui treasure in front of him, the old man couldn't believe it.
"Ahem, ahem! This place is so nice! Seeing this, the Big Mac Sheep Girl couldn't help but laugh "cough cough".
When the other entourages saw this, they were also full of praise!
"There are hundreds of families living here!"
"More than that! More than! There can be a tribe of people living here! ”
"If houses are built around this mountaintop, tens of thousands of people can live!"
"Ahh Tens of thousands? ”
"There could be a market here!"
"What a hidden place!"
"Hey, hey!" One of the guards suddenly remembered and said, "If you live in seclusion here, no one else will really find out." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Why didn't I think of it? ”
With the reminder of this person! Everyone's just paying attention! If it's hidden here, it's really not easy for people to find out.
Speaking of concealment, everyone remembered, why did the white officials bring them here? No! It was Bai Guanren who brought his father-in-law and Big Mac's wife Yang Niu here!
It's not clear: the white officials may be trying to hide the goods here.
Why hide the cargo here?
Can't ask more! Not yet? When all the goods on the grassland arrived, the white officials formed a caravan and returned to Zhongshan Kingdom. Right now! There are too many goods and not enough manpower, so it is impossible to return to Zhongshan at all. If some people were sent back to Zhongshan Kingdom first, the manpower would be even less sufficient.
So! You have to find a place to hide the goods, and when all the goods are ready, you can hire some people from the prairie to send them back.
These people don't know! Shang Sheng Bai Gui was already making a mess to let the people of Luyuan traffic horses and goods to Zhongshan Kingdom. The purpose is to use these people to help carry goods over.
"Good! Build a castle here, it's really a natural castle, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Good! The old man rode around the top of the mountain and couldn't help but admire.
"My thoughts now are! Let's build a warehouse here and hide the goods here. Wait until the movement on the Yiqu people's side has passed, and then transport the goods back to Zhongshan Kingdom. The matter of building a castle should be slowed down and the urgent need should be solved first. Bai Gui said a showdown.
The old man nodded and said, "Your idea is right!" White officials! You're still hiding it from me! Just be honest with me now! You? ”
"Hehehe!" Bai Gui smiled: "I have no choice, it's not to hide it!" It's that I don't want too many people to know. If the revenge of the Yiqu people comes, what will happen to my goods? So! Where I hide my goods, I can't let too many people know. Everyone who knows, has to stay here. Only then will the news not get out......"
"White officials! So you're lying? I thought we were really back in the Zhongshan Kingdom! It is! Snow Lotus and the others haven't come back yet, and the goods haven't arrived yet, how can we go back first? Only then did one of the guards come to his senses and said to Bai Gui.
"Speaking of going back to Zhongshan Kingdom, it's a cover-up! ...... to the people of Yiqu"
"Yiqu people? Where are the righteous canal people? One of the attendants asked, puzzled.
"Are you stupid? Why are there no righteous canal people? If the Yiqu people came, they grabbed a person who knew the situation and asked, and they didn't know everything? ”
"Oh?" Only then did the attendant come to his senses and said understandingly: "No wonder! The white officials said that they were going back to Zhongshan Kingdom, and that was for the Yiqu people! I get it. Anyway! I won't say it if someone catches me, but if someone catches someone, they don't necessarily don't say it! So! I can only hide it and not let too many people know this secret! ”
"Hahaha!" Everyone listened and laughed as they watched the slow-acting guard.
"It's called a trade secret! Businessmen also have secrets! Bai Gui looked at his entourage and said with a smile.
"So! You who know the secrets, keep your mouth shut to me, and don't talk nonsense. The old man said to his entourage very seriously.
"All of you! Don't even think about getting out of here! You know what? Don't even talk to each other! You know what? The Big Mac Sheep Girl also said with a serious face.
"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
Most of these retinues were the retinues of the old man, and only a few were the guards of the Baigui caravan.
"Actually! It's not that serious either! As long as the Yiqu people don't call right away, when our goods are gone, we won't be afraid of them. Over here! I'm going to build a castle soon! My sons and daughters will live and multiply here. The land below will belong to my children and grandchildren in the future.
Over here! Will be built into a large freight yard, trading market! All steppe people can do business here. The people of Zhongshan and all the merchants of Zhou can also come here to do business. I! It's the owner here, all the people who come to do business, they have to pay me taxes......"
Bai Gui looked at the vast world in front of him like last time, and said his ideas.
Build a castle here, and build a trading market underneath the castle. And then! With this as the center, it will be built into a market town, a city, and a trade hub connecting the prairie with the surrounding land.
