Since Mu Qingyun and Li Jun and Zheng Xin fought a battle, they were picked up by Sun Er Mazi. The Yuanshan thieves can be regarded as seeing Su Ren's weight in Yuanshan, this person has money and food, and his support is the greatest help for anyone who wants to sit in the position of the great leader of Yuanshan.

Today's incident made Feng Bald see a fact clearly, between Boss Qi and Sun Er Mazi, Su Ren was still standing behind Sun Er Mazi. Therefore, he should be more cautious in his choice. If you don't think about Boss Qi, you have to think about yourself, you must know that all the Yuanshan cottages that don't deal with Su Ren basically don't end well.

Feng Bald thought for a while: "Recently, Sun Er Mazi's women have visited several cottages one after another, convincing many people, if we rush into war without Su Ren's support, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Don't fucking grind and chirp, have something to say!" Boss Qi was still angry.

"Now our strength is not worse than Sun Er Mazi, of course we are a little stronger, but Sun Er Mazi has the support of Su Ren, and there is no shortage of money and food, so if we really want to go to war, it is very unfavorable to us!"

Boss Qi had a dark face: "You mean that we can't beat Sun Er Mazila?" ”

Feng Bald was silent. Judging from the number of cottages and personnel, the cottages contacted by Boss Qi do have an advantage, but these people are still waiting and seeing, if Su Ren has firmly stood on Sun Er Mazi's side, it is very likely that the watchers will give up Boss Qi and switch to Sun Er Mazi's men, it is really hard to say who loses and who wins!

After pondering for a long time, Boss Qi sighed and smashed his fist on several cases: "Lao Tzu has been waiting for so many years, why don't you Su Ren's kid walk around Yuanshan for a month, he didn't spend a single soldier, just took a little grain and bought the entire people in Yuanshan?" Sooner or later, such a guy will be the scourge of our Yuanshan, and if it weren't for him, we would never have a day in our lives! ”

A cold light flashed in Boss Qi's eyes, and everyone present felt cold in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads and didn't know what to think.

Su Ren didn't stay in Heifeng Ridge for a long time, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in Cloud Chasing Mountain. The new craftsmen need to be resettled, the mountain bandits need to be pacified, and the newly formed convoy needs to be retrained. Chasing Cloud Mountain is hotly transforming, and he can't leave him, the leader of the Chinese army, for a moment.

Zhou Zhong became black and thin, but his spirit was better, and the whole person became active. While eating, he said to Su Ren: "When will the next batch of grain be delivered?" If they don't come again, these people will have to drink the wind, and several cottages already have opinions, so it won't be good in case they make a fuss. ”

"Don't worry, it will come! But these people are too good to eat, a hundred stone of grain, and they have eaten it clean in just a few days! If I continue to eat like this, I won't be able to feed them even if I lose my money. ”

Zhou Zhong smiled: "They are all hard-working people, how can they let go of a chance to be full?" Looking at the day of Chasing Cloud Mountain, Mr. should be happy, these people will only recognize Mr. in the future, and will never be loyal to others, even if it is the Han court. ”

"Okay, it's not interesting, I don't rebel, why do you want so many people to do it?" Su Ren took a sip of tea: "How are the salt making workshops and weapons workshops going?" It is necessary to let them produce products as soon as possible, so that they can be self-sufficient, and relying on others to help them is not a long-term solution. ”

"It's almost over, everyone is working hard, and the preliminary estimate is that the first batch of boiled salt will come out in two days."

"Good! Now I'm relieved! It seems that a lot of people have come recently, all of them are those copycats? ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Zhong was very happy, and hurriedly approached Su Ren with his rice bowl: "There are indeed a lot of people who come, they are all small cottages, one by one they are about to starve to death, Mr. gave them a chance to live, and they ran fast one by one!" ”

Su Ren thought for a while: "It is a good thing and a bad thing that there are too many people, we must pay attention, we must not let those who have bad intentions come in, those with bad intentions are a hidden danger to us chasing Yunshan." ”

Zhou nodded emphatically: "Sir, don't worry, I've been in Yuanshan for so many years, and I don't have any other skills, and I still recognize who is from which cottage." ”

After eating, Su Ren went to the salt workshop accompanied by Zhou Chong. The production of sack salt is highly secret, and Su Ren will never let this technology out. So he still used the method of segmented manufacturing, and the people of Wonsan were only responsible for boiling the brine and boiling the coarse salt. Craftsmen from outside the mountains are responsible for purifying it, and then the old and weak put the snow-white salt into cloth bags.

Su Ren's guess was very accurate, although the imperial court got the production method of cloth bag salt, it did not spread it on a large scale, and more than half a year has passed, and it is still being piloted. Not only that, the quality of the cloth bag salt made by the imperial court is not as good as that of the Wenshui Salt Industry Company, but the price is one percent higher, so traders from all over the country still produce salt from Cui Jiuming.

Seeing that the salt workshop was busy, Su Ren turned his hands behind his back, looked here and there, reached out and grabbed a handful of coarse salt and rubbed it in his hand constantly. Yuanshan is not far from warm water, and the brine used is almost the same, and the boiled salt is also very similar to the coarse salt of Laojunguan. The more you rub your hands, the stickier they become, until you leave wisps of muddy water on your fingers, and then clap your hands to clean them.

"The output is still too small, Yuanshan is so big, there is more than this brine spring, send someone to find it, while the cloth bag salt of the imperial court has not yet been spread, we can produce as much as we can, and when the imperial court is fully liberalized, our unique business will be gone."

Zhou Chong nodded again and again: "My subordinates understand." ”

"With salt, you can exchange food with Cui Jiuming, and those grains are earned by these salt makers themselves, and they will taste fragrant in their mouths! In addition, I suggest that from next month, all those who participate in the construction of Chasing Cloud Mountain must give money, we are not the imperial court, we can't let people serve as servants, they work to earn money! ”

"This ......" Zhou Zhong was a little embarrassed.

Su Ren patted Zhou Chong's shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, if you give your salary, you don't have to give food, in fact, it's still the same." ”

Zhou Zhong also worked as a county minister, Su Ren understood it after a little explanation, and immediately put a smile on his face: "What do you mean by ......?" Sir Clever! ”

After visiting the salt workshop, I went to the weapons workshop. Small round shields, arrows, bows and arrows, and long lances were all produced by the weapons workshop according to the war habits of the Qiang people. The most needed thing for these things is wood. There is nothing else on Wonsan, wood is everywhere, and it can be said that there is no cost to make these things. Once sold to the Qiang people, it is definitely ten times and a hundred times the profit.

Su Ren looked at every weapon and thought it was very good. I talked to the craftsmen again, and then I took the people away. Later, I went to the place where the house was being built, and the place where the checkpoint was being built at the foot of the mountain, and talked to the people to understand what they wanted most now, so that the next time the caravan came, the goods that needed to be transported to Wonsan could be adjusted.

This lap went down, and he was satisfied. With two businesses, these people who have been chasing Yunshan for at least two years will no longer have to worry about eating, and the construction of houses and cottages is also continuing, and all that is needed is time. When I got back inside, it was already dark. Someone had already prepared dinner, and Su Ren was ready to go to bed after eating it in two bites. I haven't done this for a while, and I still feel very tired.

Sleeping until the middle of the night, Su Ren was a little thirsty, turned over and got out of bed, and went to look for water. There was no light, and the moon came in through the window, illuminating the room. Just took two steps, Su Ren felt that something was wrong. A black figure sat at a table in the corner. The man remained motionless, hiding in the darkness where the moonlight could not shine.

Su Ren was taken aback, and asked reflexively, "Who?" ”

The man did not speak, but slowly stood up, holding a short sword in his hand, which stretched out from the moonlight, glowing with cold light.

"What are you going to do?"

The man walked towards Su Ren step by step, Su Ren began to retreat, he was on the edge of the bed, and before he could take a step, he was blocked by the bed: "Who sent you?" Isn't it Boss Qi? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, still didn't speak, and continued to approach Su Ren.

"You should know, as long as I shout, someone will come in immediately, even if you kill me, you can't escape, no matter what Boss Qi promised you, he will never admit that you die, it's better for the two of us to make a deal, you also know that my words always count."

Su Ren's speech was very fast, he was scared, but his words were straightforward. The man was a little moved, and stopped: "What benefit do you give me?" ”

"Whew!" Su Ren let out a sigh: "What benefits do you want?" ”

"I want money! I want a lot of money, food, and an identity, and I want to live quietly for the rest of my life! ”

"Yes, I can do all of that!"

The man retreated to his chair and sat down. A shout rang out from outside the door, the sound of catching the assassin echoed in Chasing Cloud Mountain, and countless torches lit up the outside. Soon, Hawking and Huang 13 came to knock on the door, shouting as they knocked: "Big brother, are you okay?" Big brother, big brother! ”

The two of them were in a hurry. Su Ren looked at the assassin sitting in the chair and said slowly: "I'd better give them an answer, otherwise they rush in, and you won't be able to leave!" ”

The man was silent, but the dagger in his hand tightened. Su Ren shouted outside the door: "I'm fine!" Don't come in! ”

"Big brother, there are assassins in the cottage, don't come out if you're okay, Lao Huang is at the door, I'll take a look!" It was Hawking's voice, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Su Ren slowly sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the black-clothed assassin in front of him: "How many of you came?" ”

"I don't know! My mission was to sneak into your room and wait for an opportunity to kill you, but I didn't do anything. ”

"I know, you're doing the right thing! What benefits did Boss Qi give you to kill me? ”

"He promised to give me a thousand dollars and let me go!"

"You're not from Yuanshan? Where are you going? ”

The Assassin did not answer the question, but asked, "Can you really give me everything I want?" ”

"My words count!"
