Chapter 233: A month-long gambling contract
"Are you Wu Ping, the nephew of the shopkeeper Wu?"
He finally remembered the person in front of him, who had a relationship with Wu Ping five years ago, when Wu Ping appeared in front of everyone, many people questioned his ability.
Unexpectedly, everyone was wrong, Wu Parallel was clean and neat, more ruthless than his uncle Wu Guang, never showed mercy, and soon became famous in Kyoto.
"It's down." Wu Ping's face was calm and he nodded with Shopkeeper Liang.
The rest of the shopkeepers heard that the person in front of them was the 'jade-faced fox', and Wu Ping couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
It has been rumored among businessmen for several years that there is a legend in Kyoto who has been at the top of the list of the richest people for many years at a young age.
He was extremely good-looking, but he acted cunning and vicious, and there was no failure in any trade he fancied.
Shopkeeper Nan excitedly stepped forward to shake hands, "Shopkeeper Xiao Wu, I have heard of you a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see you today." β
Wu Ping coldly glanced at the shopkeeper Nan who stretched out his hand, and snorted softly.
Shopkeeper Nan, who hadn't received a response for a long time, withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly relieved the embarrassment when he saw this.
"Since Xiao Wu's shopkeeper has stayed in Xin'an City, I think everyone should be relieved, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, only Shopkeeper Chen was still full of worries.
He stood up, "Since the Tao is different, then don't conspire with each other, Chen Mou set off alone." β
"Why?" Shopkeeper Nan was puzzled and wanted to stop Shopkeeper Chen.
Compared to the outcasts and bandits outside, Xin'an City is much safer.
"The Turks are about to attack Xin'an City, Chen is timid and just wants to protect his family, so..."
The current situation is not intended to hide the purpose of their trip.
As soon as the shopkeeper Chen said this, the scene fell silent, everyone lowered their heads, and the rest of the shopkeepers who originally decided to stay in Xin'an City were shaken again.
"Don't worry about this, let's not say that our prince is the god of war, and the prince has already gathered people to build a high wall outside the city."
Xu Xiaoxiao noticed everyone's strange expressions and immediately stood up to ease everyone's emotions.
Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Build a high wall?" β
"Yes.
"Building a wall is not a house, and it can be built every few years?"
Shopkeeper Chen didn't want to hit Xu Xiaoxiao, reality can't be changed with a mouth.
Everyone also felt that Xu Xiaoxiao was a little naΓ―ve, and couldn't help laughing.
"Why don't we make a bet that if I can build a wall in a month, you'll invite me to drink? If it doesn't work, I'll give you a thousand taels, and I won't delay you for a month, so why not wait? β
Xu Xiaoxiao naturally knew that everyone didn't believe it, and she didn't bother to explain, so she simply came to the gambling contract and left the merchant first.
If the merchants fled en masse, there would be chaos in the city, which could not be handled by Chu Qing's army.
In the last days, this is not limited to the situation, and the residents who remain in the city will do a lot of dehumanizing things for food or to flee.
Shopkeeper Chen was moved, in fact, he didn't want to leave Xin'an City, there are too many worries here, and many industries are here, leaving means losing everything he has struggled for more than 20 years.
"Okay, that's a deal."
The rest of the shopkeepers looked at each other excitedly when they heard this, and if there was a way to solve the problem of the Turks' attack on Xin'an City and the food problem, everyone was still willing to stay.
After tasting the fruits in the greenhouse, the shopkeepers also took some away by the way, of course, they all paid for silver.
Even if the shopkeepers are unwilling to pay, Liu Qiaoer, as the financial director, will not let them leave the Calling Bureau.
Sending away the shopkeepers, Xu Xiaoxiao collapsed on the chair, and Liu Qiaoer also yawned tiredly.
Wu Ping wanted to confirm the matter of the wasteland, and left the Xuanzhao Hospital early.
In addition to Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er in the greenhouse, Chu Qing and Liu Yuan were left.
Chu Qing pondered thoughtfully, Xu Xiaoxiao noticed his strangeness, and knocked on the table curiously.
"What's wrong? Perfectly resolved to be unhappy? β
"Of course not, just, a month? Are you sure? β
Chu Qing couldn't help but start questioning, he endured this sentence for a long time.
Seeing that everyone left, he dared to ask.
Xu Xiaoxiao laughed a few times, she thought it was a big deal.
"Have you forgotten whose apprentice I am?"
Not to mention a month, there are many cases of building high walls in the last three days.
She is a conservative estimate of the time, and she is afraid that saying that the time is too short will cause trouble.
Chu Qing was stunned for a while, remembering that Xu Xiaoxiao had told him about his life experience before.
"Changbai Mountain even has the skill of building a wall?" Chu Qing asked suspiciously.
Liu Qiao'er hurriedly accosted beside her, "Lord Wang, haven't you seen it?" Invisibility. β
Chu Qing suddenly understood, the gloom on his face subsided a little, but Liu Yuan on the side looked at several people playing dumb riddles with puzzled faces.
"What do you say? Why can't I understand? β
Liu Qiao'er didn't bother to explain and pulled Liu Yuan out of the greenhouse, "Let's go, there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, don't gossip." β
After Liu Yuan's figure completely disappeared into the greenhouse, Xu Xiaoxiao began to tell the plan in his heart.
"Lord Wang, you first recruit a large number of workers, and it is best to use all the men in the city, and then leave the rest to me."
After hearing this, Chu Qing hurriedly got up without thinking and strode out of the greenhouse.
............
The next day, Xiaoxiao was in front, and Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaoer saw Liu Mengzhou with a tired expression as soon as they opened the door.
I saw that his eyes were blank, and he kept yawning, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately forced himself to stay awake.
"Little Miss, Qiao'er."
"Mengzhou, haven't you slept all night?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked puzzled.
Liu Mengzhou smiled stupidly, "Yes, I've been studying the drawings you gave all night." β
"Even if you're pressed for time, you can't afford to lose your health to get the job done." Xu Xiaoxiao was angry, she didn't like her subordinates to trade their physical health for efficiency.
"I know it's wrong, don't be angry, just this time, let's go and see the progress." Liu Mengzhou immediately noticed that Xu Xiaoxiao's face darkened, and hurriedly said flatteringly.
Several people left Liujiazhuang and came to the garment factory, where the workers were busy carrying wood.
There are several times more workers in the factory than before.
"Why are there so many workers?" Xu Xiaoxiao thought that she couldn't find workers, but she didn't expect that there were more people involved than she imagined.
"Thanks to Wang Lin, he came to support us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to do it in seven days."
Liu Mengzhou's face was full of gratitude when he talked about Wang Lin, and Wang Lin asked him for tea two days ago.
After hearing him talk about the need to complete the dormitory building of the garment factory in seven days and the need for a large number of workers, he immediately offered to bring out the villagers from Wangjia Village who knew how to do this kind of handiwork.
At that time, he thought that Wang Lin was joking, but he didn't expect that he really brought a lot of villagers out the next day.
His workload has been greatly reduced, and he is now only responsible for overseeing the quality aspect.
