Chapter 170: Snowy Night in the Mountains
Ma Liu has dealt with the jade boss.
That night, he came to fight Qin Tao.
"Master, the market is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's time for us to make rules."
Ma Liu said: "Now the village is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are no rules, I am afraid that it will be difficult to manage in the future." ”
Qin Tao felt that Ma Liu's words were very reasonable.
"Yes, make rules."
"But I've been writing about Dream of Red Mansions lately, so I don't have much time to get involved."
Qin Tao never shirked his responsibilities.
It's just that in the letter, the princess repeatedly urged Qin Tao to write Dream of Red Mansions quickly.
So, Qin Tao didn't dare to slack off, and wrote non-stop day and night.
Writing is slow work.
Qin Tao sometimes couldn't write many words all day.
It's not because it's cold.
It's because of some plots, Qin Tao has to think about it repeatedly, if it is written word for word, he Qin Tao doesn't have that much ability.
A book of hundreds of thousands of words.
You can't just remember it all at once.
Ma Liu nodded and said to Qin Tao: "Master, then I'll find someone to discuss and set up a few rules, and I'll let you see it later, if you agree, we will announce it, everyone must abide by it, and those who don't comply will be punished accordingly." ”
"Yes, there are rewards and punishments." Qin Tao made a suggestion.
Ma Liu retreated.
Qin Tao took a deep breath.
It was warm in the study.
The fire is burning.
It was fine charcoal, it didn't make a sound and it didn't smoke.
Qin Tao walked out of the door of the study.
Because it was too warm and he always wanted to sleep, Qin Tao planned to breathe in the cold air outside to cheer himself up.
Write a little longer.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Take a good rest for a few days, too.
In the past six months, Qin Tao has been very satisfied with his work.
The night breeze was gentle outside.
There is no moon and no stars.
It looks like it's going to snow heavily.
It's a snowy winter.
Since the beginning of winter, there has been a small event every three days and a large event every five days, and there has been almost no stop.
Qin Tao thought so in his heart, so snowflakes fell in the night sky.
Piece after piece.
Falls silently.
Qin Tao stretched out his hand, caught a snowflake, and watched it slowly melt in his palm.
The snow is so beautiful.
Qin Tao stood for a while.
When it snows, it's not cold.
Seeing that the lights in the bedroom were still on, he knew that Xiaohong and Xi Shuyun had not rested.
They must be waiting for themselves.
Qin Tao turned around and returned to the study and began to write for a while.
Sleepiness hits.
Qin Tao stopped his pen and went back to his room to rest.
In a few days it will be the New Year.
Although it was still snowing heavily, there were still people firing artillery.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The sound is endless.
The smell of a happy new year fills the air.
It was at this time that on Zhu Dahai's Chengmen Road leading to Houshan, the snow-compacted road surface reflected white light.
No foreigners were allowed to enter the city gates.
They pitched their tents on the side of the road outside.
In the wind and snow, it was warm in the small tent.
The more the Chinese New Year comes, the more prosperous the business becomes.
Everyone doesn't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.
The people in Qintao Village, they are all going to have a good year this year, and their families have surplus food, so they don't panic.
Because the people here have money, only those who do business are willing to come.
The snow was falling non-stop.
The flakes are getting bigger.
Piece by piece.
Silvery world.
The main road leads straight into the back mountain.
Originally, Qin Tao planned to open a road here, so that people on the other side of the mountain could come and do business.
Trading is a symbol of prosperity.
However, after being reminded by Zhu Dahai, Qin Tao also knew that this matter could not be rushed, otherwise it might backfire.
You must not let people label yourself as collaborators.
Once he is framed, then Qin Tao also understands that Zhu Wenzheng may not excuse himself.
This matter has to be considered in the long run.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
The road into the mountain after heavy snow disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, in front of the back mountain, a group of people are looking for a place to stay.
There was snow everywhere.
It's slippery underfoot.
If you're not careful, you may fall into a mountain stream.
"There's a cave here."
The man in the dogskin hat yelled.
So a group of people wrapped up tightly and they went into the cave.
There was no wind in the cave.
Suddenly I felt a wave of warmth hit me.
It's a good place to escape from the snow.
There were more than a dozen of them in this group.
They made a fire.
Although it was snowing outside, the snow was not melting, and it was easy to find dry firewood.
The firelight brings real warmth.
Someone has already taken their hat off.
These men, all of whom have long hair that is scattered, know at a glance that they are not big cadres.
"Take a sip of wine."
"Warm up."
"This foot is almost freezing."
"And beef?"
"There's no beef, but we'll be there tomorrow and we can eat whatever we want."
It's all men talking.
A beautiful female voice sounded, as if it was very abrupt.
"We're here tomorrow."
The woman did not take the rules, and her mouth and nose were tightly covered.
Only a pair of large, slightly deeper eyes are revealed.
Wild and captivating.
"When we get to the place, we have to live in peace with other people, and if anyone can't cause trouble, don't blame me for being polite." The woman's voice is not high, but it is extremely intimidating.
She said: "If anyone doesn't dare to speak, they will take responsibility for it." ”
It's obvious.
These men, they will never reach this level in their lifetime.
"Got it."
"We're not going to mess around."
"There are Qin Tao and Zhu Dahai here, we don't want to conflict with others."
"Princess, but we can't let others bully us."
The woman's face was red, and her body temperature also came up, so she untied the veil.
It turned out to be Toyali.
This time, Toyali personally led the team and wanted to make a deal with Qin Tao.
and eighty fine horses with him.
As long as Qin Tao gives the right price, Toyali is ready to sell all the horses, and there is not a single horse left.
All of them carry dry food and cooked meat with them.
Wherever you go, just get angry and start eating.
"I've heard that the drinks here are delicious."
"Ten thousand times better than your wine."
"But anyone who has drunk Shuyun Daqu, they all know that if they drink other wine, it will be simply tasteless."
"Qin Tao was originally our enemy, but he is not a stingy man."
These people's evaluation of Qin Tao is quite high.
The fire is burning.
Crackling.
Pieces of sparks rose up.
Toyali took a sip of wine and took another bite of mutton.
She remembered Qin Tao's appearance.
Qin Tao is the Baturu in her heart, the sun and star she will admire in her life, and her hero.
Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I will see Qin Tao.
Toyali could barely contain the small excitement in her heart.
This time, she braided her long, slightly curly hair into small braids and hung them down her shoulders.
