Listening to the city lord's flattering words, Zheng Anping felt that the city lord was not as good as Feng Sanhao. Wooed by himself in many ways, the city lord is slippery and not slippery, which is like Pig San, Cao Bao coaxed him to drink blood wine in a few words, and swore an oath.

Zheng Anping turned to Feng San and said, "My brother wants to raise cattle and sheep in Guanyi, raise chickens and dogs, and my brother will help him?" ”

Feng San glared at Zheng Anping carefully, and said, "Brother is still willing to raise cattle and sheep, chickens and dogs?" …… The current price is just right, and my brother may have to help. ”

Zheng Anping turned around and went outside the hall, and Shaoqing came back, holding a piece of gold cake in his hand, and presented it to Feng San, saying: "This brother's capital, I hope my brother will raise it." ”

Pig San said: "I have a lot, but half a gold is enough." ”

Zheng Anping said: "If there is more than that, I hope that my brother will find a master craftsman for my brother, and make iron chou, iron cho, iron shovel and other pieces, and then you will get fine iron." ”

Pig Sandao: "Why should the farm tools be refined with iron?" Rough iron is also available. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Don't dare to show off." If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The younger brother wants to live in Guanyi for a long time, and he is easy to cultivate, not to think about it. Brother Qi observed. ”

Pig San said: "How difficult is it." After January, it's a must-have. "It's sleeve gold.

The city advocates gathered everyone to re-seat and prepare for the feast. Pig San said: "My brother was called by the city lord, and his family business was not prepared. If there is no life, my brother will be gone! ”

Everyone stayed behind, but they were repeatedly refused, so they had to leave each other. Before leaving, Cao Bao said: "Uncle Tang may even be in one or two days." ”

Feng San said: "If you have to meet, you will be very lucky!" ”

Cao Bao said: "Let it be reported." ”

Sent away the three and five farmers - Zheng Anping, Brother Su, Brother Dog, Wuwang and Wu'er, asked the city lord to borrow farm tools and continued to level the land. Since the land is covered with plant ash, if the soil can be turned over as soon as possible, the fertility can be preserved to the greatest extent; Once a strong wind blows up the ashes, it becomes a disaster.

That night, Uncle Tang sent someone to report that Uncle Tang would make an appointment with his partner tomorrow to inspect Guanyi together. This made Cao Bao and the others excited, and they specially asked people to lead them, personally found the three families of Fensan, reported the matter to him, and asked him to go to see Uncle Tang together tomorrow.

The next day, after breakfast, a group of people waited outside the city to gather with the pig three and came to the ruined city together. Before they arrived, Mr. Lu, everyone rested on a high platform. Xiao Si volunteered to go to the city tower to watch, but he saw that Uncle Tang was waiting for him, so he came to tell him. The crowd sat and gossiped.

Uncle Tang arrived at noon, and he came not from the direction of Xingyang in the north, but from the direction of Huayang in the south. Fortunately, the city tower was tall, and the moment Xiao Si turned around, he still saw an ox cart coming slowly, so he came down to report to everyone. Everyone greeted them from the south gate two or three miles away, and finally met.

To Zheng Anping's surprise, Huayang sent people from all four elements. After introducing each other, a group of people waited to enter by foot from the west gate. On the ruins of the West Gate Tower, Cao Bao pointed and explained the future planning of urban construction; After going down to the city, show them the plot of land allocated to the car dealership. Everyone went out of the north gate again and saw the Jinshui River flowing slowly outside the north gate.

Uncle Tang said: "In my opinion, those who go out of the beam to Luo and Han are still the same, and they go to Xingyang by the water, and they are divided into two ways in the northwest. If the west goes out to the tube, go to Zheng more. From Zheng to Liang, after going out of Huayang, there is no Dayi on the way, and it is difficult to get through business travel. At this point, there are not many people who turn north to Xingyang. ”

Huayang four elements, only the Bai family is the owner Bai Gen personally came out, and each family is headed by the Bai family. After listening to Uncle Tang's words, they all looked at Bai Gen. Bai Gen said: "Uncle Tang's words are true. From the Liang to Zheng Guo, into the Great Wall but there is a post station, out of the Great Wall there are few Dayi, it is difficult to travel for business, Zheng has wealth and goods through the beam, the first to take the opening of the waterway, less to take the dry road. Nowadays, in the management of the car dealership, more access to the Great Wall and Huayang, dozens of miles away. ”

The city lord said on the side: "There is no car dealership, and everything that is transporting is a small company." From the tube loading, you can go to the girder in one day and one night, but there is less rest for people and vehicles. ”

Bai Gen said: "The elder drove to the girder, only one or two years old, sleepless all night, and the cover was very also." If the car is passing, the lane is open, and the cover is normal, so that it can be taken as a rate day and night. It must also rest at the post and eat at the right time, otherwise, not only will it be difficult for manpower to continue, but it will also be difficult for animal power to support. ”

Zheng Anping said: "From Guanyi to Daliang, there are not few post stations along the way, and the rate is thirty miles and one post, which is often the case." ”

Bai Gen asked the city lord: "The supreme beam of the elder is also, is it in Tu'an?" ”

The city lord said: "The four of the father and son of Weishu protect each other, and the other has to be accompanied by more than ten generations from the township, and there is no obstacle on the way!" ”

Bai Gen nodded, and asked Pig Sandao again: "Brother Pig dominates the township, you must know the heroes in the city!" ”

Pig Sandao: "Or there are one or two blind dates." ”

Uncle Tang said: "If you enter the Great Wall, it is all on your brother." Beyond the Great Wall, brother is at his disposal! ”

Bai Gen said: "We will not travel here, or let it be considered." …… Although, people abandon me to take, people take me to give, for the way of business. Command the blessed land, give me the goods, and those who do not take it will be hated by heaven. I am willing to follow Uncle Tang. ”

Uncle Tang said: "I am grateful for the kindness of the head of the family!" ”

Zheng Anping didn't expect it to be settled so easily, exchanging excited glances with each other.

Bai Gen said: "However, Ding Zhuang is not enough here, and Ding Zhuang is only needed to build a car dealership." How? ”

Uncle Tang said: "Who did the head of the family use when he established his line in Huayang? ”

Bai Gen said: "Huayang Sixiang, there are quite a few people who can rise up, and they are hired to rise. ”

At this time, Cao Bao, who was silent together, suddenly spoke: "If you have money, I am willing to be a mercenary!" I don't know how much the head of the family is willing to spend? ”

Bai Gen said: "Since Guan Cheng is willing to accept it, I will discuss it with the doctor as a worker." When the day comes, will the doctor be convenient? ”

Cao Bao said: "I am about to invite workers to come to Day, which can be described as a coincidence!" ”

Bai Gen and his entourage walked along the Jinshui River for a long time, almost reaching the foot of the Great Wall. At the foot of the Great Wall, the Jinshui River turns north again, joins the chasm, and flows into the Great Wall together. Bai Gong obviously has some considerations, but the consideration is obviously not limited to the setting of the car dealership, and the establishment of the car dealership is hardly a matter compared to the matter that is being considered. It's just that although everyone feels this, they don't know what he's thinking.

The two groups of people walked around Guanyi and the ruined city, and spent most of the day carefully inspecting the traffic and road conditions here. Until the dawn, the city lord welcomed into the city lord's mansion, more than ten people feasted together, and Zheng Anping treated each other with fish and meat.

After Uncle Tang and the others resigned, Cao Bao said: "The matter is urgent, I should invite Mr. Yu Lu as soon as possible!" "I went to Nanguan alone, and I didn't return overnight......

The next day, Cao Bao came back with black circles. didn't say much to everyone, only said "Bai's call me", and fell asleep on the seat.

As if to understand Cao Bao's hard work all night, Bai Gen took the workers to arrive in the afternoon. Cao Bao led him to the construction site to meet Mr. Lu, and the engineers on both sides had a heated discussion on the engineering issues.

After everything was over, the people of the Bai family no longer entered the city and left directly.

Cao Bao talked with Mr. Lu for a long time on the construction site......

That night, Cao Bao consulted with Zheng Anping and others, asked the city lord for a torch, and carefully wrote on the slip. The next day, Cao wrapped his waist and returned to Daliang with the festival charm in his arms, and reported to Xinlingjun. Zheng Anping and the others were idle, so they took turns to open up the wasteland, and even the fourth child couldn't bear it, so he also joined the ranks of the wasteland.

With the end of the New Year, Ding Zhuang in Guanyi left one after another, and there were many fewer people in Guanyi, and the rest were mostly old people and children. Women generally do not go out of the house, but only do household chores at home, and women are generally not seen in the city.

The city lord's family also cleaned up in their own fields.

Cao Bao returned five days later and delivered a message from the king of Xinling: "The king praises the order, and all requests are granted. Whoever has a division will be issued in a few days. ”

In the following days, Cao Bao was in charge of the progress of the project, and Zheng Anping and others were working in the fields, Zheng Anping felt as if he was not being an official, but returning home to farm with peace of mind.

A few days later, the first document was issued, agreeing to set up a post station in Guanyi, with a budget of 200 apprentices and 100 carpenters, with a construction period of three months; The money and food required shall be paid by the public funds of the Guanyi. This latter sentence is difficult for Zheng Anping. Guanyi only has an empty shelf, where is there any money and food, and his own expenses are still eaten by himself, and there are three hundred more people at once, not to mention the money, that is, one and a half buckets of grain per person every day, and three hundred people are forty-five stones a day, where do you want to raise them?

Later, Mr. Lu came up with the idea that the wages of the car builder would not be charged, but would be delivered every day, and the price of grain and the price of the car would be calculated according to the market price. This is a big problem solved. As for Mr. Lu and the others, they don't seem to have any intention of earning that money.

The prisoners do not have to be paid, but the carpenters have to be paid, a hundred yuan per month, in addition to clothes, and the guan yi will definitely not be able to do it, and he will have to discount the money, and each person will have to pay a hundred yuan. In general, the entire project needs 40,000 yuan in wages, which is equivalent to about eight gold. They couldn't pull it out at all. Mr. Lu came up with the idea that the carpenter would be "white-stripped" in the city, and he would pay it during the autumn harvest. However, as soon as Zheng Anping calculated, he converted it into 30 yuan per stone, and 40,000 yuan into 13,400 stones, which is equivalent to the output of 1,000 mu, and they only have 400 mu of land, so they dare not say how the harvest will be. You can't make a blank slip, and you have to pay it in three years! In the end, Cao Bao gritted his teeth and borrowed from the garden!

A few days later, the convoy transporting logs left the Great Wall. Fortunately, this log doesn't cost money, otherwise Zheng Anping and they would really be out of line. On the same day, Cao Bao personally went to Huayang and negotiated a cooperation with the car dealership, and the car dealer transported 50 stone (two times) every day for three consecutive months to supplement the wages for the construction of the car dealership.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Bao went to the garden to take out a loan. The nursery has a loan business, and the interest is set at 2,000 yuan per year. Cao Bao borrowed 40,000 yuan, gave 4,000 to the handler, and had to repay 48,000 yuan at the end of the year; If it is insufficient, it can be reloaned, but the principal should be calculated with interest.
