Seeing Li Hu, Zhu Shencone smiled.

This guy is still true and sincere, he broke up a few days ago and Li Hu mentioned that he would come to greet him when the time came, who would have thought that he would really come to greet him.

In this kind of weather, waiting on the mountain road is two days, and it is also thanks to his temperament.

Everyone was very happy to see each other, especially Li Hu saw that Zhu Shencone really brought him a lot of grain, rice and utensils, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and hurriedly beckoned his brothers to let them help the people in Wangjia Village transport supplies, leading the way in front, and the group happily headed towards the direction of Laojun Temple.

Zhu Shencone and Li Hu walked together, asking them about their situation in the past few days as they walked.

Li Hu told Zhu Shencone that in the past few days, they have almost cleaned up the Laojun Temple, and they have also selected a few suitable places for farming near the Laojun Temple, and he will lead people to open up the land in the spring of next year.

As for the rest, because it is already early winter, it has snowed again in the past two days, and we will wait for the spring to begin. There are no merchants passing by here in Sheep's Head Mountain these days, but they met a few ordinary passers-by, Li Hu and they didn't embarrass these people, according to what Zhu Shencone said, they received dozens of "tea money" from the other party, and made clear the rules of the future with the other party, although the money is not much, but no matter what, it is a good start.

The group soon arrived at the Laojun Temple, and when they arrived at the place, it was as Li Hu said, compared with when they left some time ago, the Laojun Temple had changed a lot.

In addition to the Laojun Temple and the previously built shacks, several new houses were built in the vicinity made of wood, and although these houses were very rudimentary, they were much better than the original ones. And now that Li Hu and the others have a place to live, plus the prepared firewood and the grain, rice and utensils that Zhu Shencone brought to them this time, they can barely survive it, and it should not be a big problem to survive this winter.

Zhu Shencone and his entourage came back with grain, rice and utensils, and their arrival made the people waiting in the Laojun Temple extremely happy, and several old people even shed tears when they saw the grain unloaded from the donkey and mule.

These people fled into Sheep's Head Mountain with Li Hu, and it can be said that they have become displaced people with no future, and they have no savings in Sheep's Head Mountain, and they don't even have enough food.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, even digging wild vegetables in the mountains to survive may not be easy, if it weren't for Zhu Shencone bringing them so much grain and rice this time, they really don't know how they can survive this winter.

For a while, everyone was inexplicably grateful to Zhu Shenchong, this is a life-saving grace!

Even if Wang Jinwu captured Li Hu last time and forced Li Hu to bow his head, a few young people who were very unconvinced by Zhu Shencone on the surface but were very unconvinced saw this scene, and the only remaining grievances were dispersed for a while, replaced by admiration and gratitude.

Handed over the things to the people below to deal with, and a few people came to the main hall, and Li Hu's son Li You obediently served the tea, which was still the persimmon leaf tea that he drank last time.

Zhu Shencone took it with a smile, thanked him, and drank half a bowl before putting down the tea.

Zhu Shencone was talking to the Li Hu brothers in the main hall, and he told them that this time they not only brought grain, rice and utensils, but also brought a lot of seeds, which can be used in the spring next year.

Hearing this, Li Hu and the others thanked Zhu Shencone again and again.

Zhu Shencone waved his hand and asked Li Huxun how big the wasteland is, Li Hu said it, after hearing this, Zhu Shencone frowned slightly, this place is still smaller, if there are few people, these places are reluctant, but Li Hu has more than 100 people here, and I am afraid that such a little land is not enough.

"Sixth master, this one of us has also thought about it, wait a few days to find it, Sheep's Head Mountain is so big, there are always a few more places where we can farm." Hu Lin said on the side.

"This is also possible, but farming in the mountains is not as good as usual, especially this water is probably a little troublesome, you can just think about it, and it is really impossible to wait for the spring of next year to send you some grain and rice."

"Sixth Master......." As soon as Zhu Shencone's words came out, Li Hu and others were all moved to get up and give a salute, speaking of which, at the beginning of their acquaintance with Zhu Shencone, it was Li Hu and they led people to rob Zhu Shencone. Who would have thought that the other party not only didn't want his own life, but also gave such help, how could such a great kindness be repaid!

Zhu Shencone waved his hand, stopped their words, made them sit down and said with a smile: "Actually, helping you is to join the fate, and secondly, to admire your actions, as for the third, I also have some thoughts and plan to borrow your sheep's head mountain to do something." ”

"If the sixth master wants us to do something, even if he wants me to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, it will not be a problem!" Li Hu patted his chest without saying a word.

"Hehe, it's not that serious, it's just a small thing." Zhu Shencone said happily, and then told Li Hu his plan, he was going to wait for the beginning of next spring to have someone set up a stronghold in Sheep's Head Mountain, and send two people to take care of it.

This stronghold will be used as a place for them to take salt transit in the future, and they will hoard a batch of salt here in the future.

Since this business uses the place of Sheep's Head Mountain, Zhu Shencone will naturally not treat Li Hu badly, Li Hu and they will help take care of it, and in the future, the salt that will go out from Sheep's Head Mountain will leave Li Hu a silver coin per catty, and this money will be exchanged for grain and rice, this depends on Li Hu's needs, if Li Hu agrees, this matter will be settled.

Zhu Shencone had considered this matter before, the terrain of Sheepshead Mountain is good, and it is a necessary place to go to Zhao Village, if Sheephead Mountain can be operated, it will be of great benefit to Zhu Shencone.

It was impossible to do this before, after all, Zhu Shencone couldn't keep people in Sheepshead Mountain, if there were fewer people left, it would not be safe, and the gains would outweigh the losses if there were more people left. And now Li Hu and these people are different when they settle down in Sheep's Head Mountain, he only needs to send two people over to assist, and Li Hu can help with other things.

In addition, the risk of taking salt is extremely high, and most of Zhu Shenchong's salt goods are hidden in Wangjia Village. Although it is not a big problem for a while, if it is a long time, it is very troublesome in case the news leaks. In the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Zhu Shencone needs a new stronghold to share the risk for Wangjia Village, and this side of Yangtou Mountain is the most appropriate.

There is another reason why Zhu Shencone didn't say it, this reason is that Zhu Shencone wants to borrow this matter to completely take Sheephead Mountain Li Hu and his group for his own use.

This is not appropriate to say now, and this condition is also put forward for subtle purposes, as long as Li Hu does not object, then as time goes by, the two sides will gradually be tied together, and this matter will be a matter of course in the future.

Hearing Zhu Shencone say this, Li Hu agreed without even thinking about it. This matter is not difficult for him, Zhu Shencone has helped them so much, and has received so much kindness, not to mention such a small matter, even if it is a big thing, it has to be done.

Seeing that Li Hu agreed, Zhu Shencone thanked Li Hu with tea instead of wine, and then mentioned the matter of going to salt to find someone to inquire about this time.

Zhu Shencone didn't tell Li Hu the truth about the mine supervisor's side, but only told them that Jin Yiwei had intervened in this matter, and the mine supervisor and Jin Yiwei were still looking for the whereabouts of Li Hu and the others, so they must be careful when they stay in Sheep's Head Mountain, and they must not reveal the news.

Hearing Zhu Shencone say this, everyone looked at each other and looked extremely nervous.

Not to mention that the mine supervisor is a person sent by the emperor, and the name of Jinyiwei is even more formidable.

Li Hu is a person who has been a low-level officer, and he can't know Jinyiwei's ability very well. If a person wants to hide, he may be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the government, but he will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Jinyiwei, who has been famous in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The sixth master is ...... about this."

"You don't have to panic about this, I found someone on Jinyiwei's side to dredge it up and temporarily suppressed it. Besides, the term of office of the mine supervisor is not long, I have already inquired, and now this mine supervisor has been in office for several years, and maybe he will be recalled to Beijing that day. As soon as this eggless guy leaves, Jin Yiwei will find a way to deal with one or two, maybe he will be able to hide this matter. ”

"However, the nickname of Sitting Mountain Tiger can be used again, but the name Li Hu can no longer be used for the sake of safety. Tiger, I think you better change your name, whatever you want to do. ”

"Okay! I'll listen to the sixth master! Li Hu nodded without hesitation.

Zhu Shencone then looked at Lu Yisheng and Hu Lin, the two of them are Li Hu's sworn brothers, and they are the leading miners, Li Hu alone can't change his name, I'm afraid they will have to change their names as well.

"I'm the same!"

Lu Yisheng and Hu Lin didn't want to agree in unison, as for what it was called, they hadn't read much, but they couldn't figure it out for a while, and turned their attention to Zhu Shencone for help.

Zhu Shencone smiled, and after thinking about it, he casually gave the three of them pseudonyms. Since you have settled in Sheep's Head Mountain, for the sake of convenience, then you will all have the surname Yang.

Li Hu changed his name to Yang Biao, Lu Yisheng changed his name to Yang Yi, and Hu Lin was called Yang Lin, how?

Hearing these three names, the three of them chattered twice, and their eyes lit up and praised again and again. Then Zhu Shencone set his eyes on Zhang Xijun, who had not spoken, and Zhang Xijun smiled and said that he didn't need to change it, because the name he used now was not his real name.

Hearing this, Zhu Shencone was quite surprised, but seeing that Li Hu and the three of them did not object, it seems that this Master Zhang did not lie.
