Everyone looked back, it turned out that there was a huge group of people on the side of the people at some point, and the two people who took the lead were not tall or tall, but their spirit was not at all like the appearance of the officials and soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, and the clothes they were wearing were the same as the real ones surnamed Lu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And seeing that the two of them are much shorter than the real beard, they must be wigs, but with the calm and relaxed expressions they had when they answered just now, it seems that even if it is a wig, it should be the senior officer in the accompanying army.

Behind them are two people dressed in brocade guards, naturally they should be the accompanying brocade guards sent by Annan Qianhu, although these people can't understand the waist cards of the two brocade guards, but judging from the eyes of the two of them who despise them, they must be at least a character like a small flag. The brocade guard was followed by an officer dressed in a hundred households, and he stood there triumphantly with his waist crossed, his right hand resting on the straight knife at his waist, intentionally or unintentionally—this was specially given to him by the Beard Man to thank him for taking the lead in disposing of the corpses that the patriarchs did not want to dispose of with themselves during the previous cleaning of the battlefield.

Behind him were five or six archers, most of whom held bows in one hand, and each of them had an arrow on it, which could be shot quickly in case of emergency.

As they walked, there were rows of people with their hands tied, but the appearance of these people was enough to startle Zhang Qiulin. These captives knew at a glance that they were real bandits and bandits, and it should be said that he was still a staff member, and he was well versed in the way of officials and soldiers to kill good people and risk merit to promote officials and make a fortune. In the past, when the officers and soldiers marched to fight and suppress bandits, they tried not to capture prisoners, but only carried their heads to receive merit in exchange for rewards. The head can't speak, and if it is not a good killing, the official who has verified the merit will naturally have no way to draw a conclusion through inquiry. But although the dozens of people in front of them look yellow and thin, and some of them still have injuries on their faces, they are still alive. These officers and soldiers were able to capture the captives and come over to receive the reward, which also proved from the side that they were really bandits.

It was followed by a car, which, like the previous cars, was not towed by oxen and horses, but was able to move slowly on the road at the same speed as a normal person. A few sharp-eyed people saw at a glance that there were several cloth bags in the back of the car, which were bulging with a lot of round things, but they must have killed the bandits' severed heads in the battle.

The appearance of this car immediately began to make the businessmen begin to become ready to move, this car is not too big, about two zhang long, about one zhang wide, the body of the car is relatively high, the appearance of the wheels is very strange, although the speed on the road is not very fast, but there is no cow and horse traction, and the people on the car are not sweaty, but a relatively relaxed look. The only thing that didn't seem right was that there was a strange rush in the middle of the car, like the sound of metal grinding. However, this car gave them a very magical feeling, you must know that raising horses and cattle is quite expensive, and the cattle and horse pens often emit a strong smell, leaving a very bad impression on these big families. If you can really have such a car, you don't need cows and horses to run on their own, and it's good to spend some money to buy one.

"This car is a special truck made by our Senate, if you need it, you can consult with our Elder Lu." Bluegrass stood there as if talking to himself, and the rich businessmen were not at all curious as to why he could guess what he wanted to know, and rushed to Luchi's side with a hula. They had seen the reconnaissance vehicles driven by Lucci before, and now they were trucks that could carry a lot of things, and it was not unacceptable for these vehicles to spend a little more money if they could really do it without cattle and horses.

Zhang Qiulin looked embarrassed now, he could be regarded as the highest status person here, but now he was completely ignored in front of these rich people who originally looked down on him. One by one, the rich people of the land surrounded the real man, asking nonsense, and the real man also patiently explained, so that his idea of using his talents and learning to squeeze the man in front of everyone was completely frustrated.

He wanted to say something, but everyone's attention had already been attracted by the car, and they asked about the vehicle, and the brocade guard behind him stepped forward and said to him, "It seems that Mr. is the staff of the Governor of Zhaoqing?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Qiulin nodded a little angrily, "Dare to ask what Mr. has to do?" "Even if he swept his face, the person in front of him was still Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei didn't dare to provoke him, if he was secretly stumped by others, it would be over.

Jin Yiwei nodded, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to him, "This is the list of bandits captured this time, and the names of all bandits are listed on it, please check it." Saying that, he waved his hand at the back, and the hundred households hurriedly walked up and arched his hand at Zhang Qiulin, "There are a total of thirty-nine prisoners, three of them are wounded, and the other dead bandits are two hundred and thirty heads, is it counted here or sent to Zhaoqing City to be counted?" ”

These 100 households spoke in a relatively straightforward tone, even if they suppressed martial arts with literature, but these 100 households were 100 households in Annan, and they were not under the control of Zhaoqing, and Zhang Qiulin couldn't do anything about him, so he said, "Send it to the vicinity of the Zhaoqing Governor's Mansion to count." Anyway, he is not the center of attention at the moment, if he continues to stay here, not only will he not be able to achieve his intention of making the people deflated, but he may also make him even more faceless.

"Lord Zhang, please wait." Before Zhang Qiulin could take a few steps, he was stopped by a voice behind him. He couldn't help but be stunned, the term "Lord Zhang" was quite popular, he was also obsessed with fame in his early years, but he failed to enter the palace examination twice in Beijing, so he simply pointed out to be a staff member. Didn't he want to be an "adult" in his heart? So this sentence immediately called him so that he couldn't walk under his feet.

Zhang Qiulin looked back, and the one who called him behind him turned out to be one of the people who came later, he was not tall, but his eyes were full of wit, and he immediately asked, "I don't know what your Excellency is doing when you call him to live below?" ”

"Master Zhang," Lan Cao gestured to the side to talk, and then walked a few steps briskly to the front to wait for him. This action made him very useful, at least this bearded man gave himself a lot of face, so he paced a few steps, came to his side, and just wanted to speak, he heard Lancao say, "Lord Zhang has not been easy these years, the old mother at home is in good health?" ”

Zhang Qiulin was stunned, how could people know about his mother? After thinking about it for a while, I don't think it's a big deal, after all, the beard man wants to have a relationship with his side, maybe it's just that he has done his homework. But Lan Cao continued to speak to herself, "It's not easy to live alone in my hometown, it's a pity that the old man is unwilling to come to Zhaoqing with his husband, otherwise with the high righteousness of Mr., how can he let his mother be at home alone?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Qiulin suddenly had a feeling of meeting a confidant, nodded and said, "It's a pity that my mother is not willing to come to Zhaoqing with my mother, and now my mother lives alone in my hometown, and the two places are more than hundreds of miles apart, so it is quite difficult to go back once." ”

"Ling Tang should be relieved not to give Sister Ling," Lan Cao said and walked a few steps in the direction of Zhaoqing, Zhang Qiulin followed inexplicably, he didn't even know why he had this feeling of being a confidant, "Yes, it must be the same." My mother has been working hard for the dowry of my sister's marriage for a long time, and I must be relieved at this time......"

"No wonder Mr. Zhang is depressed about his teeth." Lan Cao said as he walked with a look of talking to himself, Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but be stunned, not many people knew about his shareholding in Yaxing, even if he knew, it was impossible for anyone to leak the news, how did the man in front of him know? Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lan Cao say again, "It was natural for us to wait for the production goods to be released, but I didn't expect that it would affect so many tooth shops in Guangdong, if it is really a sin." ”

Zhang Qiulin nodded and was about to speak, when suddenly Lan Cao's words changed, "Although I am a naturalized citizen, I also got the authorization of the Senate to come today, and now we have a big project in the Senate and want to find a partner," said Lan Cao and turned to look at Zhang Qiulin and said, "I don't know if Mr. is interested?" ”

"It's nature!" Zhang Qiulin almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly agreed. Just kidding, the man wanted to find a partner, but he told himself that this was simply asking himself if he wanted it. Although the person in front of him is not a real person, he said that he has been authorized by the Senate, and he must be a man of words, but what if he doesn't speak well?

Suddenly, he found that the man in front of him was looking at him with a strange smile, "This matter is not up to the bottom to decide, the project of my Senate is about the spirit of the contract, if Mr. is interested, you can agree on the contract first, and then cooperate after both parties sign and agree, and the veteran in charge of business can negotiate with Mr. tomorrow." ”

"I don't know what kind of deal it is?" Zhang Qiulin nodded, now he was a lot more relieved, and the contract was approved by the government after signing the postponement, so that even if it was denied, there would be no place to deny it. Bluegrass smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Shipbuilding." ”

Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but be deflated directly, "It's just a matter of shipbuilding, although Zhang has some acquaintances who know how to build ships, but at this time, the profits are too small, and the cycle of ship construction is long, which is really inconvenient." Can I change it? ”

"Or build a car." As he spoke, Bluegrass turned and pointed to the truck with the head in the distance. "The truck can carry about eight stones of goods and four people on the road, and the manufacturing is not complicated, it only requires multiple workshops to produce parts at the same time, and then assemble them in one place."

Zhang Qiulin looked at the truck carefully, although he couldn't see anything unusual about this car, but with the appearance of these big businessmen in front of him, it should be quite worthwhile, but a question suddenly popped up in his head.

"Why you?" Lan Cao's words startled him, and he only now realized that the unattractive person in front of him seemed to be able to understand what was in his heart, and he was about to nod, but Lan Cao continued to explain, "This matter was also decided on an ad hoc basis, first of all, you are a staff member of the Governor's Mansion, and you have more skills than others in terms of administrative power. Our Senate did not have the same shipbuilding and car building technology as the Wu Dynasty, and we all produced the same parts in different factories and then produced them in the assembly plant. ”

"That's how ships are made?" Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but hurriedly asked, as one of Wang Zunde's important staff, he had repeatedly inspected several shipyards near Mingzhou on behalf of Wang Zunde to inspect those ships that were about to be produced as sailor ships. The boats were parked on shelves on the beach, with scaffolding enclosing them, and the timber was placed haphazardly on both sides of the hull, while the boatwrights roamed the hull, trimming with hammers and axes.

But the man in front of him said that the ship could be produced from all over the place and sent to the assembly plant for production, Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but feel that his brain was a little insufficient, "How is this possible?" If you build a ship like you, you will sink if you don't go into the water. ”

"No, this is going to be standardized. I won't tell you about this first, but the specific situation will be known after talking to the representative of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Lancao said and paused, "I wonder if Mr. has any intention of cooperating?" ”

Zhang Qiulin didn't speak for a while, he looked at the businessmen behind him who were still huddled together with Lu Qi for a heated discussion, and after thinking for a while, he still said, "Zhang is naturally interesting, but can he be alone at this time?" ”

"Of course, this is possible, but it is often not very profitable to operate alone, and Bluegrass suggests that it is better for the Senate to send production operations from the Eastern Port to provide production guidance, so that skilled workers can be trained more quickly." Lan Cao said and thought for a while, "I can give you the bottom first, a two-person rickshaw without power needs at least fifty taels to buy in Dongfang Harbor, and a vehicle with an engine can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels." ”

"So expensive?" Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, and before the words fell, he heard a big family in the distance saying loudly, "It's only one hundred and fifty taels?" It's worth it! I bought it! While saying that the man was still talking to the person next to him, "A car, you can walk, you can carry so many things, you only need to burn some firewood and send it to the store every month for inspection, if the road between Zhaoqing and Dongfang Port can be opened, you can go to Dongfang Port once a month to buy a goods can be worth the money for inspection, and Dongfang Port will go back and forth to ensure that this one hundred and fifty taels will come back!" ”

Zhang Qiulin couldn't help but be stunned, in the end, it was still the best businessman who saw it thoroughly, although this car was expensive, but it was useful, if he could really make such a good car by himself, wouldn't it be just around the corner to make a fortune? If you really cooperate with the Hipsters, then the small money in the tooth shop before is nothing at all.
