758 Books The Wounded Hundred Tongues
Two days later, the military management ended, and the military department released a message in Xicheng District, saying that the military management that they had not remembered for an unknown number of days was about to be canceled, and the whole city would return to normal at that time. 《.
It's just that there are still some things that need to be dealt with when the military management is restored, such as the residents in the city's 'house property certificate filing documents' These things were damaged in the war, and after the military management is over, there will definitely be disputes over the relevant content, and there will be some disputes, and there will definitely be people occupying people's houses.
The military department said that from tomorrow onwards, the original Xicheng District Grand Theater will temporarily become a 'resident housing registration office', and the citizens can say which house they think is their own, and the official will register it for you.
However, the Diao people should be careful, only a small half of the 'record text jiàn' is damaged, most of it is there, and as for who is there and who is not there, I can't sue you. If someone dares to talk nonsense and wants to take advantage of the opportunity, and if they are unlucky and brag about the pile that can be verified, the whole family will naturally be beheaded.
As for the empty houses, due to the large number of displaced people, the displaced people can live in the houses that no one lives in. However, it is not allowed to be occupied, it needs to be shared. If anyone stands in an empty house and does not allow others to enter, anyone can report it, and if there is evidence, they will be imprisoned and sent to reclaim the woods outside the city.
Zhou Shu yawned, hugged the snake bird and told her to make arrangements, saying that the two would not be able to have a tryst in this carriage shop in the future.
The snake bird's ankle has healed, and she has not seen her add new injuries to herself, Zhou Shu wants to get back the investment of more than a week, so that this girl can feel the pressure of repaying a large amount of debts in one go. It's about more than 170 pounds.
The snake bird seemed to have sensed Zhou Shu's temper, leaned his shoulder into Zhou Shu's arms, and said aggrievedly: "I'm a little uncomfortable today...... My stomach hurts a little, can you help me rub it, and I'll give it to you when I'm better. ’
In this way, the transaction of Zhoushu's 'efficiency' was delayed for another day. And it is destined to be delayed tomorrow. At noon, I was helping the snake bird rub his belly, and suddenly there was a noise on the street.
"What's the situation?!" Zhou Shu had good ears, frowned and muttered to himself, he heard someone shouting for help.
The snake bird also heard something about the situation and guessed: "There is very little chaos in the city. When this happens, it's usually the rebels who are causing trouble. ”
"Well, I saw it. Zhou Shu stood up from the ground in the carriage hall and patted the snake bird's head. "I'm going to check on the situation, you stay here honestly, don't move. ”
The snake bird saw that Zhou Shu was leaving, and hurriedly pulled him in a panic, "I'm afraid! You can't go, stay and protect me!"
As soon as she spoke, she felt that her statement was very bad. And it's a command sentence, which shouldn't be, so I quickly changed my words: "I'm worried that something will happen to you...... Don't go to that dangerous place. ”
Zhou Shu didn't have so much spare time to get involved in the trouble, and he was ready to continue to help this cunning little girl rub her belly, maybe he could rub it a little further, which was much more interesting than participating in that kind of fighting, killing, and killing.
"Well, since you say so, then I'll stay. !”――
At the end of the day, I returned to the castle. Master Zhou saw his woman there again, with his eyebrows crossed, and walked towards him with an unhappy face.
It's a hundred tongues again.
"What's wrong with you?
Baiyu snorted with his nose, "You go to the military headquarters first." You come to my room at night and talk about my business!"
"At night??'s room?" Zhou Shu hesitated, "This isn't very good, you need to pay attention to your reputation as a girl." ”
"I still have a reputation now?" Baiyu seemed to have heard something particularly ridiculous, "What reputation do I have as a dog who was kept in captivity by the West Country and wagged his tail on the ground and begged for mercy?!"
"What's wrong with you, what's the stimulus?"
Baiyu stomped his foot hard, "That's what I'm going to tell you! You don't want to run!"
Zhou Shu probably guessed that this guy must have been humiliated when he was attracting investment. She, the last bloodline of the Black Feather family, works for herself, the earl of the enemy country, and she mixes very well, and she is a very beautiful girl. I guess there will be a lot of disrespectful words. He could see that Baiyu seemed to have restrained the words just now, and it was estimated that she could say a lot of dirty words now, all of which she learned from others scolding her, and people would always grow unconsciously.
"Alas, what a child, I can't go back to that era of innocence and politeness. ”
Sighing with emotion, Zhou Shu ran to the military headquarters to see what they were looking for, but saw a group of officers sitting around the conference table with a frown, and it seemed that the conference had been held for a while.
As an earl, as the boss of this gang of soldiers, he sat directly at the head and asked them if they were in any trouble.
The officer smiled wryly, "It's really a bit troublesome." Do you remember, Lord Count, that our spies lurking in the Resistance have said that there will be a big move in the near future?"
"Remember, what's wrong. ”
"At noon today, our army was attacked by a rain of arrows from the rebels......"
Zhou Shu nodded, sure that today's riot was indeed such a thing. "What about casualties? Looking at your solemn faces, it can't be a loss, right?"
"Oh, not really. The officer waved his hand, "This time we were attacked, in fact, we designed a trap, our spies gave the exact time of the attack, and we met it with all our calculations." ”
"Isn't it good, why are they so unhappy one by one? Why don't I take out some gold and divide it among you, and reward the sergeant?"
Zhou Shu had already spoken, and most of the officers at the table stood up, stepping on the table and clapping and cheering, and some of them were more gentle, pretending to cough and clear their throats, asking how much they could take.
The officer, who had just finished halfway through his words, looked helpless and slapped his muscular face, admiring the Earl's ability to interrupt.
The labor army is part of Zhoushu's urban revitalization plan, and it is more necessary, so it is very appropriate to carry it out at this point in time. He raised his hand and conjured a box of gold and poured it on the ground, then took the empty box away.
Gold was worthless, but there were several chests in the Book of Treasures, and he had found so many. You can't give it lightly.
"That's all, don't try to take it alone, half of it must be sent to me to the soldiers at all levels. ”
The gold in this place is probably enough to pay half a year's salary for 100,000 soldiers, maybe longer. However, if it is handed over to these officers to distribute, Zhou Shuzhen doesn't know how much will be left.
Several of the officers were heroic, stepping on the table and cheering. "The Earl says half of this gold is ours!
Zhou Shu blocked his ears to protect his eardrums, and the cheers rang for a long time before they ended. He will also be sure that people are still powerful, worthy of Miss Duke, he gave her such a whole box at the beginning, and he didn't see her smile much. Her smiling face is hard to find.
Due to Zhou Shu's interruption, the original content of the meeting was delayed for a long time, but fortunately, the topic was finally turned back.
"We set traps. However, the strength of the rebel army was miscalculated, and the damage was not small. And I'm afraid that the matter of our trap and ambush has already been discovered by them, and they will be more careful in their actions in the future. It's not easy to do. ”
Zhou Shu felt that his own group of things were useless from the inside out, and he was beaten like this by other people's urban guerrilla warfare. He was sure that if it weren't for Tiddlelem holding it up, the gang would have slaughtered the city long ago.
"At present, there is a lot of resentment in the army because of the loss of comrades-in-arms. They began to hate the local civilian population. We're not sure if we're going to be in trouble if we're going to do anything at this time......"
Zhou Shu can understand the feelings of the soldiers, who are the victors of the war. I thought I could enjoy happiness, but I ended up dying in the land of victory. The commanders could have avoided these things, and they could have killed all the enemies, but now so many people have died for the sake of a reputation for hypocrisy.
Their imbalance is understandable, but Zhou Shu gave money. I guess it will make them anger a little lower. And as soon as the military management is over, these big-headed soldiers will spend every minute with the gold they get. Or if they don't spend it, Zhou Shu will be embarrassed.
At present, there are not many places in Sunshine City that allow them to spend money, that is, to find local girls.
He was sure. The value of the snake bird companions will soon increase significantly, and they will become the first people in the city to become rich. However, there is no snake bird in it, Zhou Shu is ready to pinch her in his own hands, at least he can't let her go until she pays off the arrears.
As for the fact that his army travelogue can't beat others, Zhou Shu said that it doesn't matter.
"If you have any more traps next time, please, sue me, or go find Eagle Young and Nati. ”
Young Eagle and Nati are also heroes, and their status is similar to Zhou Shu, maybe Nati is slightly lower. The two of them are expected to be able to destroy the city on their own, and the young eagle may be worse, but Nattie can definitely do it. With the two of them here, the rebels are basically elementary school students who meet Stallone, and they have no power to resist.
In addition, Zhou Shu took out some candy to strengthen strength and speed, handed it to the officers, and asked them to find some soldiers who dared to fight and could be trusted, and gave them medicine, the power of the medicine would make them strong-
The snail kite has been eating and drinking well in the Justice Society for a long time, and she has been with the water fowl for the past two days, and has been served by her with all her heart.
As an upright poor person, she has never lived so comfortably in her life, and her whole person has been corrupted by this arrogance and lasciviousness.
She and the waterfowl had a meal together, and the waterfowl forked all the meat in her share of the food, and the snail kite accepted it all without any graremonia.
In the room next to the two of them, a group of small leaders of the Justice Society were meeting.
"Today's operation is considered a failure, and it is far from meeting expectations with so many manpower. ”
"It's all because someone is tipping off. ”
"Have you found out who it is?"
"I don't know, but there are some suspects, many of whom are old friends......"
"Whoever it is, arrest them first and send them to prison for questioning. If it were really our brother, he would understand what we were doing. Oh, by the way, who's your old friend?"
"The pharmacist, the blacksmith chief, and a few others. They were seen associating with the people of the land of the west. ”
"Is there any evidence?"
"Mostly not. Why, do you still need to investigate?"
"Of course, this kind of thing would rather be killed than let go, but let's not do it too far, if there is evidence, just get out. ”
"Okay, I'll do this. But will the next action be postponed?"
"No, I don't. Let's change the time and place and follow the original plan. They want to ambush us, and this time we will invite you into the urn. ”――
Master Zhou waited in the dining room for a hundred tongues for most of the day, and finally looked forward to her when he ate a table of melon seed skins.
"Greetings, you were so punctual. Zhou Shu smiled at Baiyu and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, "Do you want to eat it? ”
Baiyu glanced at the unproductive man in front of him with disgust. "I know Sunflower Seeds, don't fool me for a fool!"
"Uh, okay. ”
Baiyu's temper has never been better, and after being in contact with her for so long, Zhou Shu is basically used to it. Eating by herself, Baiyu sat down quite elegantly, with her legs honestly on one side, quite ladylike.
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”
"Business or private business?"
"The two of us have a personal matter?"
Zhou Shu shrugged, "I don't want to say it though." But from a legal point of view, you should actually be my slave, and we two have certificates......"
When Baiyu heard Zhou Shu call herself a slave, she was so angry that her nose trembled.
"I was wrong...... Joked over life......"
Zhou Shu has been staying with the well-behaved snake bird for the past few days, and she is used to having a little bad problem, always thinking that girls are good at talking and can joke casually. Fortunately, there are hundreds of tongues that pull him back to reality.
What she was going to talk about was something she had been doing for the past two days. Soon the military administration will end, and she hopes that more merchants will be able to enter the Plains of the Sword Blade. Come with supplies.
Baiyu has been doing things at Zhou Shu's orders recently, and after communicating with him for a long time, I can also guess what he wants to do in the Sword Blade Plain.
In fact, it is quite simple, the plains are very poor at the moment, because of the war and the change of land, wealth has been transferred out of this area. There were originally nearly 100 noble families in the entire plain. Except for the Black Feather family, who chose to stay in this land and live and die with the family foundation, the others all ran away. They left with their wealth, leaving only devastated and hungry civilians here.
Baiyu never understood why Zhou Shu asked him to open up a business route by himself. And it is not to develop it on its own, but to lend the capital to those who are willing to do business and trade, so that they can buy materials to sell.
You must know that the Sword Blade Plains is very short of money at present, and even if they find merchants, they will not be able to make money from these poor people. Even if they only buy a copper plate and a pot of food, not many people can afford it.
However, she just heard about Zhou Shu's reward for the army, and the shot was a whole box of gold. She was sure that the gold buried in the ground from the mint must be in his hands. As long as he can get all the money out, he can give the civilians some money, the question is how can he get the money out......
"Baiyu, Baiyu, do me a favor, and then contact some people who open restaurants, lend them money, and let them start the business of the restaurant. I've been wandering the streets for the past two days, and I don't even have a place to sit and drink water!"
Baiyu looked helplessly at the man in front of him who wanted to come out of the way, "Then why are you going out for a walk?" Stay here, some are water, milk is for you to drink." ”
Zhou Shu knew that she was talking about Nati's again, and Baiyu seemed to hate the way women were attached to men. However, with the conscience of heaven and earth, Nati has a serious bodyguard job, which can be regarded as self-supporting. As for that aspect, it's kind of mutually beneficial.
"About the restaurant...... You talk to the army, buy some food materials from them, and lend them to restaurants. Then tell them about the big bounty that our big soldiers have won, and I guess the smart people will be happy to open the shop. ”
Baiyu knew that Zhou Shu's idea was nothing more than to let the soldiers spend and let the money flow from his hands to the hands of civilians. However, after a lot of taxes, it will eventually fall back into his hands.
She didn't think it would be so easy to look at this idea.
"You forgot to think about the discipline of those soldiers of yours. Who would risk having their shop smashed at any moment?"
Hearing this, Zhou Shu accidentally showed an idiot look, "It is precisely because they can do it that they are called businessmen." You're a noble lady and don't seem to know them. ”――
Early the next morning, Baiyu bought a large number of food materials from the army with money, a single type, but a large number. Everything that had not been transferred from the entire plain area had fallen into their hands, and it was uniformly deployed by the large forces on the side of Sunlight City, and now it naturally became Zhou Shu's private property.
"Tomorrow's military control will be lifted. I hope you'll be able to reopen Iron Hoof Restaurant, and I'd love to eat the soup you made once. ”
In a low house, Hyakyu sat on a chair and stared at a group of men standing in the house. Outside the house, there was the army she had brought with her, and the army was pushing food trucks.
The people in front of her were the owners of the Iron Hoof Restaurant, the second largest restaurant in the former Sunshine City. and his family.
The boss's home is in Dongcheng District, where the rich are gathered, and after being driven to Xicheng District, the family was also arranged by the army into a vacant civilian house, and there is no place for more than a dozen people in the family to lie down and sleep every night, and the women in the family are also completely gone**, and now they are on the verge of a mental breakdown, always fantasizing that they are birds in a cage.
Baiyu finished talking about his intentions, and then pushed the contract to the boss.
The borrowing is interest-free for up to five years and includes start-up capital for the restaurant and some simple necessities. Just take these things. Clean up the original site of the Iron Hoof Restaurant, use grain as bait and hire some pretty girls and cooks, and you can basically provide bread and water to your guests.
Baiyu is an old acquaintance with the boss, she had a birthday last year, and she received a cabinet of wine from the boss as a gift, and now she doesn't know that it was poured into the dog's belly. She was angry at the thought of it.
She was sure that this boss must be thinking of himself as someone now, with the army of the West Country. A lobbyist came running, and Baiyu felt disgusting.
But it can't be helped. In the past two days, she has also been scolded and used to it. In order not to be scolded, she also prepared some means.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was silent in his anger, Hundred Tongues waved at the guards, who carried in a large amount of wheat and air-dried meat, filling the last empty space in the house.
"You just have to assure me that the store will open as scheduled. I'll lend you these things at once, and there's plenty more outside the door. I'll send guards to protect you for a while until everyone in the city calms down. ”
Baiyu is also worried about the hungry and robbing bosses on the street, and bodyguards are indispensable.
Several of the boss's sons and daughters looked greedily at the jerky on the ground, and then stared at their father with begging eyes. Hopefully he'll say yes.
The boss gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down first, and then asked the former Duchess in front of him.
"Excuse me, Miss Duke, you're now a lackey of the people of the West Country, aren't you?"
Hundred Tongues pouted, "I'm just using my own way to try to take back the Sword Plain." I don't expect you guys to understand, it's complicated. ”
The boss nodded, "That's right, we civilians don't understand. But I dare to ask, if he were still alive, would he make you wag your tail at the enemy and beg for mercy?"
"......" The same words, the same lines, Baiyu can hear every day these days. She was sure that if it weren't for the presence of the little children, the father would have spoken even more ugly.
She had never hated her femininity so much as she did now, and those people always thought in the direction that disgusted her the most, the self-depraved Duchess who had surrendered to the enemy generals...... Seeing Zhou Shu and Nati's behavior before, she was so disgusted that she hadn't eaten all day, which was a rare thing for her who was almost starved to death before.
Baiyu began to wonder if he should find an agent to carry out his work in the future, so that the agent could come forward and save himself from being scolded.
Just as she was thinking about how to choose a proxy for herself, a hairy man's fist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, magnified and hit her in the nose.
Baiyu was punched to the ground by the boss, and his nose bleeded for a long time.
"Shame on the Black Feather family!
The owner of Ironhoof's scolded what he wanted to scold, and did what he wanted with his fist, and then his chest was impaled through the guard's spear. The guards killed him in front of his children and relatives.
Baiyu decided to rest for a few days. It was the first time she had been beaten, her mouth was broken in many places, her nose was almost broken, she was currently in a state of bruising, and her whole person looked wolf.
Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing when he saw her, he knew that the girl was like this because she was doing things for herself, but looking at the wolf with a hundred tongues was still very pleasant.
"Give me a piece of your candy!" Bai Yu ordered when she saw Zhou Shu, she suppressed her anger and seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
Zhou Shu didn't want to ignite her powder keg, so he honestly handed over the sugar, and then gave her some spare.
"What do you mean, you think I'm going to be beaten?"
"No, no, no!" Zhou Shu hurriedly shook his head, "I just think these things should be helpful to your work, you can add these sugars to your lobbying chips......"
Hyakyu snorted and turned to leave, going to visit the next family. It was getting late, but she hadn't done anything.
I went to several families in one day, but all of them were rejected, and no one was willing to 'go along with her'. She fears that tomorrow's murder of the owner of Ironhoof will further damage her reputation, which can no longer be broken, so she needs to meet more people overnight.
She doesn't know how many restaurants the city needs to be enough, but at the moment, the situation is not optimistic. (To be continued......)
