Sent Sun Dezhang and his entourage away in a huff, Xiao Ye and Xin Weilin talked secretly, they were excited for a night, and only relieved their strength the next day, and then Yang Tianshou, who came to the door again, was trained to be bloody.

"Behind him Sun Dezhang, there are thousands of households, and even the command and envoy are backing, perhaps, there are more people staring; They are waiting for you and Hu Baihu to tear up the title deed, then there is a legitimate excuse,"

"Put Shiguantun and Lao Yangkou directly under the control of the Thousand Households, and it is also possible for you to go to the Gravel Fort to respond, and at that time, it will be easy to take you to prison by mistake,"

"What they need now is not only the location, but also the craftsmen, the laborers who don't have the land, and the money they can earn to live in the workshop area, so that they can also get benefits,"

"If you get stuck in the supply of goods from the Persians, you can get cheaper goods, and everyone can see why you can get so many fires/guns from a small hundred households, why your sergeants have silk cotton coats, and why their salaries are not lacking, and it is not a disaster near the water,"

That's right, Yang Tianshou has always thought that Xiao Ye walking on the grassland is not a good thing, but now it seems that the claws of outsiders can no longer bear the loneliness.

Although Yang Tianshou said long-winded, he analyzed it layer by layer, not only did he say that Xiao Ye was in a cold sweat, but also Xin Weilin and Wang Ziliang, who rushed over, were also shocked with a handful of hot sweat on their foreheads.

"In the final analysis, it's still the merchants who make profits, and they don't hesitate to destroy the side wall for this," Yang Tianshou glanced at Xiao Ye, who bowed his head and was silent, "Fortunately, you can press down your grievances, otherwise the legacy will be difficult to collect,"

"How to deal with it, I think your two helpers can come up with countermeasures," Raising his eyes to look at the two scholars, Yang Tianshou said coldly, "As your elder, I can only say that you must not harm the people, you must not rebel against the court, and the rest, just deal with the situation,"

After speaking, he shook off the cotton robe, and Yang Tianshou took care of himself and left.

In the evening, on a small table on the kang, there was a plate of boiled soybeans, a plate of beef in sauce, and a small tin pot of ale wine.

There is a thick cotton mattress on the warm-burning kang, a hot black kernel burned in the stove on the ground, and a hot roast in the stone house; Outside the straw paper-covered window, the cold wind howled.

This kind of burning time for a long time, without the slightest smell of smoke of the kernel, burned out of the core turned gray-white, twisted into ash, has been used by everyone to replace the charcoal, but it is only commonly used in Shiguantun, the number of picks is a little less.

There are no outsiders, Xiao Ye is wearing khaki military civilian clothes, a light dress, and the scholars on both sides look at the novelty, and they are used to it; But the recommendation of 100 households was not accepted, this dress looks awkward, and it is better to follow the old system.

"Brother Shi Dao, there is news from the Zhentian family in Gansu that horse thieves have begun to haunt there, but there is no sign of harassment, perhaps, the matter of Niujiaofeng has been spread, and they are looking for suspicious characters," Xin Lilin said with a frown as he chewed a bean in his mouth.

"The money and goods seized from Niujiaofeng have been put into the warehouse, and the accounts have been sent to Mrs. Niang," although he was trained by Yang Tian during the day with the hundred households, he did not feel embarrassed to know that Xin Weilin, who had abundant money and food in the hands of the hundred households; People are elders, and it is not unacceptable to preach a few words for hundreds of households.

"I think, the Tian family, like the Huang family and the Wang family, is not a well-meaning master, just wait to see our jokes," Wang Ziliangzi took a glass of ale and snorted, "We still have to be on guard,"

Although Tian Xiuxiu lives in the wing room opposite, Wang Ziliang does not miss the private affairs of the hundred households, and whoever is unfavorable to the hundred households, he just can't look down on it.

Xiao Ye smiled, and didn't care at all, "We've been talking for a long time, but we still haven't come up with a solution, this merchant is holding our shortcomings,"

A big reason why he can endure Sun Dezhang's difficulties is that the grain of the two tunzi is purchased from the three major merchants, and he can't break it for a day.

Other businesses can also get Bowdes in touch, but if you leave these three behind, the consequences are even more unpredictable.

"Bailong Lake is too far away, and the water can't quench the thirst of the near, simply, you can also build a shop for hundreds of households, raise some family guards, and secretly pull up hundreds of people, which is also a good thing for the two tunzi," Wang Ziliang said nonchalantly.

The speaker was unintentional, listening to it intentionally, Wang Ziliang's casual words made Xiao Ye and Xin Weilin stunned and looked at each other; Yes, the so-called dark under the lamp, isn't that what it says?

Judging from Hu Shibiao's performance yesterday, the possibility of being suspected by thousands of households in the future is quite large, and it is possible, Sun Dezhang can detect Xiao Ye's influence on Hu Shibiao when he goes back and reflects on it.

"Baihu, there are seven disabled sergeants in Shiguan Tunli who have been transferred to Lao Yangkou, and they can't do hard work, they just live on half of the salary and silver issued by Baihu, and they can't be hungry, but in the future," Xin Weilin squinted at Xiao Ye opposite.

"There is also the horse thief, but he doesn't follow the rules, and if he can't keep it into the homeless people of the old Yangkou Stone Fort, there are their spies," Wang Ziliang said very alertly.

Xiao Ye picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass, drank it slowly, poured another glass, and after a mouthful, he closed his eyes and groaned for a moment, and patted the table lightly, "Okay, just do it,"

"We have a lot of money, plus the money we searched from Lu Yidao, it is enough for 150,000 taels, and the finances of Baodes are not moving, that is the ration money we use to buy grain,"

"Set up a shop in the old Yangkou Stone Castle, called the Shijia Shop, which is responsible for supplying materials to Fuguilou and receiving purchased grain," Xiao Ye said slowly while thinking.

Xin Weilin took the pen and ink on the side and recorded it quickly, and when the hundred households finished speaking, they had to discuss and improve them one by one.

"In the future, the shopkeeper in the Shi family's shop will be managed by the three provincial brothers, and the business will appoint deacons to take care of it, and the accounts will be audited by the hundred households once a month, and the men will use those disabled sergeants, and outsiders don't want it,"

"Guarding the guards who sent a pack team in the shop, the three provincial brothers will take care of it first, recruit one hundred and fifty people, and in the future, depending on the increase or decrease in the situation, we will transfer people from Huang Hanxiang, after all, our sergeants can't always be bodyguards,"

"Brother Liu Ren's brothers, pick a few clever ones and put them in the shop, mainly responsible for checking the horse thieves and spies and delivering news,"

"Then wouldn't my manpower be the Su Guard's servant, Baihu should give it a name," Wang Ziliang said with a chuckle, not paying attention to the unhappiness in the corners of Xin Lilin's eyes.

"Well, let's call it the Haiqi team, take the last one of the heavenly and terrestrial branches, inconspicuous but pressing the formation, allow fifty people, set up five acting flag officers, and you can choose from the guard," Xiao Ye looked at Wang Ziliang with a smile, "Your heralds will be included,"

Hearing this, not only did the corners of Xin Lilin's eyebrows move, but Wang Ziliang, who had always had an indifferent face, also had a faint flush on his face, Xiao Ye had already given him the authority to investigate local news earlier, and now he could check and balance the flag team, so his position in the two hundred households should be firmly in the second place.

Needless to say, the money and food that Mei'er secretly spent there should be inexplicably doubled next month.

Xin Weilin looked at Xiao Ye, who was silent opposite, and faintly felt that the delicate wings of this young officer of the hundred households could no longer hold back the restlessness.

The hundred-man team of Bailonghu, the sergeants of the two hundred-household offices, the hunter squad plus the Haiqi team, the personal guards around him, and the sergeants and flag officers who need to be supported in Xiao Ye's hands, there are more and more; What's more, the craftsmen and servants on the periphery need a lot of money and food every month, and no one will be able to take over in the future.

Huang Hanxiang is in Bailonghu, Xiao Liuzi is in Shiguantun, Zuo Shi is in Laoyangkou, these are his own henchmen and flag officials, Xiao Ye is at ease, he only needs to provide ordnance and food on time, how to drill and use the Ming army's ready-made military drill procedures.

As long as the drill rules are strictly implemented, the military discipline and military law of the Ming army are enough for Xiao Ye to command his subordinates, and what he is afraid of is that there is no law.

"Clearing out the traitors and finding out the news is the responsibility of the Hai Flag Team, Brother Wang, you have to work hard," Xiao Ye said, looking at Xin Weilin, "Brother of the three provinces, the family guard will be in charge of you, and the food and salary will be compared to other flag teams, in the future, whether it is the mainland or the grassland, the escort of the pack team will depend on you,"

"In case of emergency, the hundred households will send people to help," Xiao Ye, who had cleared his mind, poured a glass of wine into the two henchmen, "Come, have a drink first,"

"Let's talk about the hundred households, the official's concubine Tian Xiuxiu, who is responsible for the entry and exit of materials in each warehouse, Mei'er and Lina, manage the accounts everywhere, if you two need it, ask me to get the voucher to get the money and goods,"

The pro-guards of the hundred households are immediately facing a shortage of manpower, the Hai Flag Team has transferred five people to the flag officer, the family guard team has transferred at least fifteen people, and the remaining less than thirty people.

There is no choice but to continue to find Huang Hanxiang to ask for someone, those slaves who were rescued from the grassland, in Xiao Ye's opinion, are far more reliable than those from the mainland.

Late at night, the sergeant pushed Xin Weilin back to rest, Wang Ziliang dragged him to the back, and followed Xiao Ye to the No. A mill.

In the mill with torches on the wall, Xiao Ye looked up at the pattern that appeared in front of him, and said coldly, "Liu Ren, you go back, in the Haiqi team, another ten-person team will be built, it is for the shadow team, there is no need to make a public announcement, specialize in surveying our sergeant flag officer, once you find an abnormality, immediately report to your own officer,"

"In the future, the Flag Team will be expanded, and the Shadow Team will be able to increase its manpower, and if there is an opportunity, the sergeants in the Shadow Team will be sent to the mill, the two workshop areas, or even other places."

Behind Xiao Ye, Wang Ziliang suddenly became clever, "Baihu, is it it?" ”

"You don't have to worry too much, just in case, this officer has to be careful," what happened to his father made Xiao Ye have been watching his side carefully, but now that there are more and more sergeants, there is so much he can think about.

"The shadow team only has the right to investigate, and it is not responsible for detaining the matter, so collect people as soon as possible," said indifferently, Xiao Ye waved his hand and no longer paid attention to the people behind him.

"I know," Wang Ziliang bowed slightly, turned around and exited the mill, only to find that his underwear was once again soaked in cold sweat. Glancing at the guards standing at the door of the mill, he was in a trance.

On the way back, Wang Ziliang suddenly smiled inexplicably, it seems that Baihu's trust in himself is far more than Xin Weilin, the shadow team, isn't it the shadow that can't be touched.

Filial piety comes first, Xiao Ye is unwilling to disobey Yang Tianshou's thoughts, Wang Ziliang and Xin Weilin can't say anything, they can see it very clearly; But unlike Xin Weilin's natural thoughts, Wang Ziliang did not think that the methods of hundreds of households to avoid those officials and businessmen would have a good ending in the end.

Businessmen, especially businessmen with the support of the official family, for the sake of profit and money, people who trample their conscience on the ground abound, and even for the sake of white silver, the person who hangs people's lives is Ying/Manchurian history books, isn't he Wang Ziliang also an unlucky guy.

Therefore, the task assigned to him by the hundred households must be carried out secretly as soon as possible; In the dark, Wang Ziliang, who was limping on the stone road, had a straight waist.

In the No. A mill, Xiao Ye took out all the rear-loading guns and projectile materials that could be taken out in the picture; Late at night, the guards who carried dozens of iron boxes from the basement tied the iron boxes to the back of pack horses and tied them strongly.

In the empty basement, Xiao Ye glanced at it nostalgically, turned around and picked up the lantern, and walked up the steps; In the days that followed, he wouldn't have much time to come. In the warehouse next to the hundred households, those goods will also be transferred to the old Yangkou Tunbao.

December 25, when the New Year was about to end, just when Xin Weilin and Wang Ziliang, in order to expand their subordinates, put their ideas on Huang Hanxiang, Xiao Ye took his personal guards and rode to Laoyangkou Stone Fort.

In addition to the five flag teams led by Xiao Liuzi to stay in Shiguan Tunli, there are also those craftsmen in the mill, and the others will live in Lao Yangkou Tunbao one after another.

In the several carriages escorted by the personal guard horse team, Xiao Ye's three wives and concubines, as well as the financial accounts, were all taken away this time; In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Ye's hundred households, he must sit in it.

After the beginning of spring, Yang Tianshou's private school will also move to Laoyangkou Tunbao. At that time, the highest official in Shiguan Tunli was Hu Shibiao alone.

Although the snow melted, the old Yangkou Stone Castle in the position of the mountain tuyere, the temperature was still low splashing water and ice, and the transfer materials and timber that the Tian family half sold and half sent had piled up hills in the open space close to the stone fort.

Most of the stone houses were built in the stone fort, and when spring came, the rest could continue to work; However, compared with the mills, military houses, and houses with sergeants at home, the houses of shops and craftsmen will not waste too much plaster, and the brick walls and straw huts are already very good.

The New Year is approaching, in the lively and chaotic stone castle, there is a crowd of people, there are more than 200 military households here, most of the family members have become sergeants, and some have gone to workshops everywhere, and after a month of hard work, in addition to the money to buy food, there will be some leftovers in the pocket; Therefore, traders from all over the world, who drove and pulled horses, trafficked different goods here in order to make more money in the new year.

Not far from the two workshop areas, the three shops and liquor shops outside the stone castle have been repaired and reopened, although they have been harassed by the Tartars.

In the two intersecting streets of Shibaoli and the demarcated Shifang District, there are still traces of undried plaster on the rows of walls, but the shops that have already opened are full of people of all colors.

Seven or eight shops and grocery stores of different sizes ushered in a good time for military households and artisan households to store and buy New Year's goods, and vendors on both sides of the street also occupied this short street.

"Come and take a look, the newly arrived farm tools in the Tian family's shop, the firemouth porcelain is durable, and I will check it on the spot,"

"The porcelain from the mouth of the Wangjia kiln, the pots and pans are complete,"

"Come and smell it, the old Xue family's soju, the entrance is hot, and the New Year's discount is on,"

"Rock sugar gourd, crisp and sweet rock sugar gourd."

"Zhao family buns, thin skin and filling, take a bite of the oily Zhao family buns."

Walking into the small street, Xiao Ye heard noisy sounds, among which the shouting and shouting were endless.

There are stalls, medicinal herbs, and snacks, and there are all kinds of them, and the liveliness is far beyond Xiao Ye's imagination. Traders come and go, and the degree of sensitivity to business opportunities can be seen.

......

The guys standing at the door of each shop shouted loudly, attracting the military families who came to buy New Year's goods.

Entering the fort gate and walking on the somewhat muddy street, Xiao Ye listened to the noisy sound in his ears, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth; Originally, I just wanted to let the Tian family shop in, but I didn't expect that other merchants had a very smart nose, even if they spent money to buy those storefronts on the street, but they let Mei'er have a surplus of money.

The guards who followed behind the hundred households, holding the reins of the horses, guarded around the carriage, looked around with their eyes slipping, and the right hand in their arms could be pulled out at any time.

A team of servants patrolling the streets, carrying scimitars, walked through the flow of people, saw Xiao Ye and them at a glance, and hurriedly came up to salute Baihu, "Lord Baihu, are you back?" ”

"Oh, yes, do you recognize this officer?" Xiao Ye answered, and then asked strangely; The servant at the head smiled, "My lord said that you are laughing, you are our hundred households, how can there be a reason not to recognize,"

"Well, where is your left flag?" Xiao Ye's face was slightly hot, and he asked in a deep voice, but his heart was secretly tight; I still subconsciously regarded Shiguantun as a territory, but I was negligent here.

"The chief flag officer is at the mill, and he is with the horse officer," Tun Ding pointed to the north, "and the villain leads the way to the adults,"

"No need, you can just wait for peace of mind," Xiao Ye smiled and waved his hand, turning around and walking in the direction of the fort gate due north.

The fort gate on the south side of the stone fort, although there is a sergeant on the fort wall, you can enter and exit at will, but at the north fort gate, it is strictly guarded by the sergeant; Not far from the fort gate here is the undulating hills, and then there are deep ravines and ravines, what can the common people do here.

The hills were shaded by vines and grass, and there were two large sand pits nearby, and the fine white sand dug out of them was carried to the mill by craftsmen; This North Fort Gate is, after all, for the mill.

On the inside of the fort wall, near the north gate, there are four large courtyards, three military houses and a mill, which are guarded by servants on weekdays, and strangers are not allowed to approach; Only craftsmen who have lost their military status with a waist card can work here and get money, and they must not be delayed.

There are also drills twice a decade, although they manage three meals a day, but they don't have the money to get it, so naturally some people feel that they can't afford it. There were many people in the stone fort who went to work in the hill mills, and they were afraid of the harsh drills of those days.

The militarized management brought by Wang Dali from Shiguantun made many of the newly attached military households in Shibao very uncomfortable, and some of them went to the workshop not far away, where the management was much looser.

Compared with the workshop area of the two merchants outside, the biggest advantage of the mill in charge of Wang Dali is that it is free to eat, and the wages are about the same; But the hints brought by the drill made those military families who had no blood and just wanted to settle down and support their families retreated.

What is a drill, that is, it is necessary to accept the call of hundreds of households at any time and go into battle to fight, not to put on a posture to watch the excitement; Naturally, Wang Dali did not force the military households, and Xiao Ye did not dare to use a sergeant who did not even have the courage.

But in the Northwest, such a big thing as being able to eat a full stomach is enough to attract those who like to dance with knives and guns.

With the report of the street patrolman, Zuo Shi and Ma Gui greeted Xiao Ye from a distance and took them into a cleaned military courtyard, and there was a stable in the courtyard next door to feed the horses and drink.

This two-entry courtyard, five partial houses on both sides of the front yard, a spacious hall on the front, two side rooms on each side, is for the old sheep mouth hundred households; There is a room for family members in the backyard.

Due to the cold weather in winter, the construction work of Madao Stone Fort has been stopped, but the conscription of soldiers and sergeants is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ma Gui is now helping to manage the mill, although there are not many military households in it, there are more than 30 soldiers, and they go in and out of the North Fort Gate and the mill every day to transport sand.

In the 100 households, the guards carried things, and the female guards and rough maids and mothers-in-law, under the support of Mei'er and them, tidied up the house in the backyard.

Passing through the small door, in the courtyard next door, Xiao Ye looked at the stable, and then went to see the newly dug well, Zuo Shi and Ma Gui on the side reported to the hundred households in the past few days, the situation in the stone fort, especially the black kernel, is even better than the coal, but let the military households save some money for heating, this point, Ma Gui especially mentioned a few words.

It's easy to make a warm hand, but you have to go to the wilderness to find the kernel, and there are many people who spend money to buy it.

"It's okay, whoever finds that thing belongs to whom, on this cold day, the stove at home is lit with a kernel burned, but it is cleaner than coal," Xiao Ye smiled nonchalantly, this kind of good thing that can reduce the expenses of hundreds of households, he would like to have a few more.

"Zuo Shi, you are now the chief flag officer, although you are a little younger than those sergeants, but with the help of those flag officers, it is not difficult to take charge of the five flag teams, and the military discipline of our Shiguantun must not be ambiguous here," Xiao Ye looked at his younger brother standing in front of him and instructed carefully.

"I know, Baihu," Zuo Shi said with a slightly red face, in front of outsiders, Xiao Ye kept asking him to call Baihu, not like that at home.

"Well, Ma Gui," Xiao Ye looked at Zuo Shi in military uniform, nodded, and looked at Ma Gui who was standing respectfully next to him, his impression of this original Yonghetun official was quite acceptable; Especially when the horse thief attacked Yonghetun, this thin and tall official was able to give Ning Zhongyang a heavy ammunition box, and he was already responsible.

"Lord Baihu," Ma Gui stepped forward cautiously and bowed cautiously; This sergeant under the hundred households, who was not afraid in the face of the fierce horse thief, had already impressed him, and he naturally did not dare to slack off.

Especially the men, women, and children who came from Yonghetun, if it weren't for the credit grain allocated by the hundred households, and gave them a place to rest, I am afraid that they would have frozen and starved to death this winter; Even for the sake of his family, Ma Gui is grateful to Xiao Ye.

"Is there still a place over there in Fang City?" asked Xiao Ye.

"Yes, there is also a small courtyard facing the street, a large façade, which is intended for the lady of the hundred households, and she has sent someone over to instruct her early," Ma Gui replied softly.

Xiao Ye had to be convinced of Tian Xiuxiu's business acumen, but now it is inconvenient for her to come forward, so she can only check the accounts at home and operate behind her back.

"Send someone to clean it up in the past few days, there is a Shi family shop to be stationed in the next few days, that is the business of the official, the rations of the two of us will have to rely on it in the future," did not hide it, Xiao Ye happily explained the reason; In the future, Zuo Shi and Ma Gui will also take care of that shop.

"The shop is taken care of by Xin Xiucai, a friend of the official, and the deacon he sent is also our own people, and the guy is a retired disabled sergeant, so there is no doubt about their reliability," Xiao Ye's words not only made Zuo Shi and Ma Gui's eyes light up, but also the surrounding guards, and secretly warmed their hearts.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will take care of the shops even if they work hard," Ma Gui said solemnly, and Zuo Shi on the side also nodded again and again.

This newly appeared Shi family shop, Xiao Ye is not very worried, to put it bluntly, it is a small dart game, or the kind that goes to the grassland to play with the Tartars and eat, if other merchants are interested in joining, it's okay, take out your guard, and Si will also go to the grassland.

Xiao Ye was convinced that with Xin Weilin's plan, even if the merchant's family guards joined in, and on a trip to the grassland, I am afraid that there will be nine out of ten people who come back, and the remaining ones will have to die half-dead.

Hu Shibiao took his personal guards to follow, sex, look at the end, if you want to say that your sergeant used his heart to protect him, Xiao Ye didn't believe it.

Just when Xiao Ye explained the shop to the two, Hu Shibiao's house in Shiguantun came with a few guests, led by his distant cousin in Gansu Town, who came to visit his injured cousin.

However, in Hu Shibiao's hall, the posture of the guests sitting on the chairs was more relaxed than Hu Shibiao's cousin, who were the shopkeepers of the trading houses sent by the Wang family and the Huang family, who had been in the grassland for many years, and came to listen to the news.

Under the recommendation of my cousin, the atmosphere in the hall was quite flat, and I talked about it for a long time before I got back to the point.

"Hu Baihu went to the grassland, he really suffered an old sin, and his injuries still haven't improved," the shopkeeper of the Wang family squinted his small eyes, and on his oily fat face under the melon skin hat, he smiled gently.

Hu Shibiao, who was sitting on the chair on the left, looked at his right hand, and casually lifted the bandaged cloth, "Some of the arrows of the Tartar soldiers are poisoned, and I am old/Hu luck, I didn't die on the spot,"

"So, Hu Baihu has gone to the tribe of the Persians?" The shopkeeper of the Huang family, who had been sitting on the chair, gently tapped his index finger on the coffee table, and asked slowly, with not much expression on his long face.

"Along the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, more than 2,000 miles north, there is a big village of Haixi people," Hu Shibiao pursed the corners of his lips lightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of warm tea, "We are trading there,"

"However, according to this official, it is just a cargo transit, not yet a workshop of the Persians, their workshop may be further north, maybe further north in the vast desert," Hu Shibiao's words made the two shopkeepers who came with hope suddenly feel half cold.

It is no wonder that the goods of the Persians were so expensive, even in terms of transportation distance, the cost was also huge; What's more, the Mongols on the steppe are so easy to avoid.

Hu Shibiao was originally his own person arranged by Wang Chongli, and it seems that he is basically about to be wasted, and he has no teeth if he wants to get out of the way, and he will never tell such a lie, that is the truth.

The Tartars are close to the tribes of the Ming Dynasty, and there are some mature Tartars who are attached to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, and they can still get in touch, but the raw Tartars are farther away, but there are not many taboos against the Han people.

Besides, the Persian tribes that were able to make such sharp firearms, delicate pocket watches, and other objects could not be said to be comparable in strength and scale to a country, and the army there would not be weaker than the Tartars.

The distance is difficult, and they can't make a bad idea, which makes the shopkeepers of the two merchants a little frustrated, and they are very dissatisfied with the expectations of quietly rushing to Shiguantun this time.

Of course, it is also good to be able to get in touch with Hu Baihu, who guards the business road, at least there is someone to listen to the news.

"Then, the stone mill in the mill, can you resell it to us and give you some dry shares," the words of the shopkeeper of the Wang family immediately made Hu Shibiao's face tense, and he raised his neck without smiling.

"That thing, I rely on it for hundreds of households to eat, you want to take it, Cheng, the official doesn't want a penny," Hu Shibiao grinned, his yellowed front teeth looked a little gloomy, which made people shudder.

"As long as you don't want to be killed and dismembered by those military households, just take it," Hu Shibiao's unceremonious words made a few people who had a crooked idea sneering to press their thoughts in a sneering manner; If you're not prepared, don't touch the stone mill.

Smashing people's jobs, that's a matter of conscience that can't be good to die for, and people who are in a hurry won't be as good at talking as Hu Baihu.

How did they know that in the small room behind the hall, through a coarse cotton curtain, Wang Ziliang was sitting on a chair with a teacup, quietly listening to their conversation.
