The sea breeze is howling, and the faint fishy smell makes the nose a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Hao pinched his nose and looked at the three large sea ships on the sea in the distance. Turning his head to look at Xie Yang,

"Xie Yang, I've told you everything I need to say. Now I still have to emphasize that this time I went to Liaodong, whether it was to buy war horses or establish channels, it was secondary, and the most important thing was to ensure my own safety. If you are in danger, you would rather hand over the goods than fight hard. Your safety is paramount, and this time the main thing is to familiarize yourself with the environment over there. You know? ”

"Lord, don't worry. I know it. Xie Yang puffed up his chest and nodded firmly.

Zhang Hao didn't say anything more, and patted Xie Yang's shoulder, "Take care!" ”

Xie Yang saluted, and then strode towards the seashore with several escorts, where a small boat was waiting and transferred to the sea boat.

Zhang Hao watched quietly on the beach, and did not leave the beach until the three big ships set sail.

Today, the construction has not yet been completed, but there are some workshops that can already produce goods, such as liquor. Zhang Hao directly purchased some liquor, arranged distillation, and made liquor. The construction of the distillery is not troublesome, so the production of liquor has already begun.

The cooperation with Mijia and some other businesses has officially begun.

Thinking about the future, Zhang Hao set up another caravan, and Xie Yang was in charge.

Although Xie Yang is very skilled and familiar with military affairs, his heart is really not suitable for fighting in the army. And he is close to Zhang Hao, and it is impossible for Zhang Hao to give up on him. Simply let him learn about business first.

This caravan was going to Liaodong, preparing to directly open up the north-south connection. In this way, the benefits are huge. In addition, for military considerations, Zhang Hao wanted to open up the connection with the north as soon as possible and transport a certain number of war horses from the north.

Although the Mi family has been in business for generations, its main business scope is all over the Central Plains, and they are not familiar with the north. Some of the cooperative merchants are operating in the north, and they will help when the time comes.

In addition to the liquor produced in the winery here, Zhang Hao directly got some glass mirror salt sugar from modern times, and the northerners will also like these things very much. As for the iron tools that the grassland people needed more, Zhang Hao did not provide them at all, but they were still of great value.

The reason why Zhang Hao told Xie Yang in every way was that he was worried that someone over there would be interested in getting rich, after all, the grassland people were used to robbery.

Although he had a certain amount of guards, he was unfamiliar with the people on the northern border, and something really happened, and Zhang Hao didn't even have time to save him. Compared with property, he attaches more importance to the safety of Xie Yang and others, so he will repeatedly advise.

Anyway, Xie Yang has already set off, and it is useless to think about it again. Zhang Hao put this matter aside, and now there are still many things for him to be busy with.

The brewery has to be expanded, and at the same time, the construction of other factories is also troublesome, who wants him to give full play to the technical advantage.

Sugar mills, better papermaking and textile technology, printing, and more efficient steel-making workshops, and even shipyards. These all require Zhang Hao's participation. So during this time, he was very busy.

From time to time, I go back to modern times, inquire about various information, and buy some accessories that cannot be manufactured in this era. Tell the craftsmen of this era about the ways to improve the technology.

In addition, the construction of the armed forces has been on the agenda from the very beginning. Zhang Hao knows what is most important.

When I first arrived here, it was a small fight, but with the arrival of a large number of displaced people in Xuzhou, the scale began to expand greatly. This aspect was handed over to Huang Zhong and Tai Shici and Dian Wei. The various ancient weapons hoarded in Zhang Hao's Tianhe handicraft factory came in handy.

In particular, those catapult machine crossbows and the like were more advanced than the ordnance of this era, and many of them were installed on warships.

In the midst of such busyness, time flies.

Walking out of the Taishou Mansion of Wu County, Zhang Hao got on the horse directly and returned to Linshui County with the escort.

It's really a dog skin plaster! Riding on the horse, Zhang Hao muttered in his heart. This time, Wujun Taishou took the initiative to invite Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao was still puzzled about what was going on. As a result, at the banquet, Taishou seemed to be drunk, and asked Zhang Hao how he offended the Yuan family.

Zhang Hao suddenly understood. It must have been Yuan Shu who identified Zhang Hao's traces and put pressure on Wu Jun Taishou through the prestige and connections of the Yuan family.

It can only be said that Yuan Shu is too resentful. At this time, Zhang Hao completely forgot how he stimulated Yuan Shu.

Wu Jun Taishou was very powerful, and directly said to Zhang Hao that no matter how powerful the Yuan family was, he didn't care, as long as he obeyed the law, no one could touch him. With such words, Zhang Hao only passed his ears. He was able to do this, in addition to Emperor Tiangao Yuan, because he knew that Zhang Hao and Zhang Rang were still connected.

This Taishou, who has no habit of cleanliness, does not mind joining the camp of eunuchs at all, in order to be promoted and make a fortune.

Of course, after going back this time, Zhang Hao obviously wanted to give this Taishou a generous gift again. Although when he met before, Zhang Hao brought gifts.

Zhang Hao doesn't care about these, he is not afraid that he is greedy, as long as he can do things. If you can spend money for time, Zhang Hao is very happy.

Now is the most important time to lay the foundation, and Zhang Hao doesn't want to see any accidents. Even though he was very disgusted with Yuan Shu's behavior, he didn't think about revenge immediately, but just wrote down this matter in a small book in his heart, preparing to turn over the old accounts in the future.

Before returning to the manor on the outskirts of Linshui County, Zhang Hao noticed a group of people around the door.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Hao looked around and noticed that in addition to the guards in front of the door, a steward of the manor and a few servants, there were also some people dressed as civilians. Four of them were kneeling on the ground, and among them was an old man with a sixtieth birthday, and the remaining three were men of various ages.

Seeing Zhang Hao, most of these four people were full of excitement, moved their bodies, and knelt down to worship Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao suddenly understood that similar things had happened many times before. Immediately dismounted and stepped forward.

"Zhang Gongzi, in the next family is a homeless person in Yuzhou, who was harassed by bandits and had to leave his hometown, running all the way, and his father fell ill. If it weren't for the son's acceptance and application, I'm afraid the old father would have to go. Now that the old father has recovered, the family has come to thank Gongzi. The son is kind-hearted and will live a long life. ”

The strong man in his thirties at the head said with a grateful face.

"This strong man doesn't have to be polite, accumulating good deeds is the right thing to do. You trust me and are willing to settle down in such a distant place, and I will naturally do my best to make your life better. Zhang Hao smiled.

For the homeless people who belong to him, Zhang Hao must be treated kindly. After all, these people are the foundation of him today. Similar to the show, Zhang Hao has done it a few times during this time, sending some daily necessities to widows and lonely people, and sending some medicines to sick people. Naturally, in exchange for a lot of gratitude and trust.

The civilians around were all talking at this time, and naturally they sighed at Zhang Hao's kindness.

Zhang Hao stepped forward very politely to personally help the other party, in addition to the psychology of showmanship, Zhang Hao is indeed a little uncomfortable for others to bow down to himself, especially when there is an old man in the armor.

Just approached, a sudden change occurred. The big man who was grateful to Zhang Hao with tears in his eyes just now suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed at Zhang Hao with a cruel smile on his face, while the other two men had a similar reaction, and the two of them rushed to Zhang Hao's side, preparing to attack and intercept the guards on the other.

There was a panic of exclamations around, and Zhang Hao's guards hurriedly stepped forward, but the distance between Zhang Hao and the other party was too close, and it was too late at this time.

Looking at the big man's smiling face, Zhang Hao's pupils contracted suddenly, and his heart seemed to stop beating. It was the first time he had encountered such a high-end thing as being assassinated, and his mind was blank. The exclamations of the people around him made Zhang Hao suddenly sober up, and with a movement of his mind, the space-time gate quickly appeared in front of him and expanded rapidly. However, in an instant, the water rippled and the gate extended to a width of more than ten meters, and all three assassins were intercepted at once.

The assassins looked at the space-time gate that suddenly appeared in front of them in horror, some of them couldn't help it, their daggers stabbed at the space-time door, and some of them slammed directly into the space-time door. But the space-time gate didn't even show a ripple.

The people around were full of shock, but Zhang Hao was very sober at this time. He quickly took a few steps back, stood in the center of the guard, and shouted, "Take them down." ”

Zhang Hao took a lot of guards with him when he traveled, plus there were some guards outside the manor. So the numerical advantage is great. Under his order, many guards reacted and quickly took out their weapons and rushed forward. At this time, Zhang Hao put away the space-time gate.

These assassins are very thoughtful and have good strength, but the guards they have to face are also very skilled, they are all specially selected masters by Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, plus there are many people, although the assassins are very sharp in counterattacking, they are still quickly defeated.

It's a shame that when the assassination happened, those civilians were not close, otherwise, these assassins would have taken hostages, and Zhang Hao would have been a little embarrassed.

Presumably, the Assassins didn't even think about taking hostages. After all, in this era, no one would think that a person of Zhang Hao's status would do anything for an unrelated hostage.

There was a smell of blood all around, and one of the assassins was tough and was eventually killed. The remaining two were all wounded.
