"Cui Tianwu, Hua Mulan, Dou Xiaoqi and Lei Feixiang have a close relationship with Bai Qian and are devoted to us. You can safely reuse them and delegate important tasks to them. Biqu'geWw W
"BiQuGe.CN" Ding Kui did not forget to tell Xue Chong.
"Oh, their three late-stage warriors and one late-stage wind archer are the more experienced people in the brigade. They can help me stabilize at least half of the brigade. Once a few retired comrades come over, you can definitely do it.
You don’t have to worry about the Merchant Protection Brigade.” Xue Chong contacted his former comrades.
The proportion of poor people in the army is much higher than that of noble soldiers. After retirement, everyone has to make ends meet. With the Prince Consort as his backer, Xue Chong has the confidence to recruit his old comrades.
The Huaxia Carriage and Horse Company quietly erected a signboard in Juyang City, and also set up supply points along the way from Juyang City to Huashan County. A total of eight supply points were set up during the eight-day journey.
A carriage and horse shed was built on a large open space outside the city. It was the starting point of the Chinese carriage and horse racing industry and occupied the best location in Juyang City. Later carriage and horse carriage sheds were further away from the city gate.
The Bangladeshi businessman easily found out the background of Hua Xia Carriage and Horse Racing. Mr. Fei, who is often seen at the headquarters of the frozen food store, is the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse racing shop. The one-armed guard commander is the former captain of the first brigade of the 2o1 Division. To be honest,
It has nothing to do with the military and they won’t believe it even if I’m beaten to death.
The Sunset State Chamber of Commerce Alliance was the first to come to the door of Huaxia Carriage and Horse Racing. They proposed that as long as the price was not much more expensive than others, all the goods of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would be handed over to Huaxia Carriage and Horse Racing. The protection fee was paid, and there was still less money left.
Is there any shipping fee?
As expected, the second person who came to our door was the Chilled Food Store. They also sent an insulated truck. From now on, all the chilled products will be consigned by Huaxia Carriage and Horse Company.
"This way I can worry less. I only need to freeze the aquatic products and monsters and pack them up." Lao Qiantou walked through a door and came to the headquarters of Huaxia Car and Horse Store, which is next door to the headquarters of the frozen food store.
"I need money to worry about a lot of things. Reporters are enough for you to worry about. I have just started here and things come and go only so much. I should share some of it with you." Fei Ze felt more relaxed than before.
Things involving carriages and horses are relatively simple for the time being.
"Those who have returned from the capital should be able to arrive before the end of the year. It will be easier for us with them here."
The old money man had been busy in Juyang City for half a year, and it was not until the chilled food store was on the right track that he began to relax. The reporter's work was very familiar to him, and it did not waste his time at all.
"That's right. Liu Yu must have thought up the plan here on the way. We can just implement it when the time comes. No need to worry about it." Fei Ze picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
"I said you two are equally capable, so why do you always put him first?" Old Qiantou narrowed his eyes. At this time, outsiders couldn't tell where the eyes were and where the wrinkles were.
"We have worked together for many years and have formed a tacit understanding. No one is the master, we just perform our duties and do our best. Haha, there is no need for Mr. Qian to test us, although we have not followed him when you left the army.
, but we have heard of you." Fei Ze smiled at the old money man.
"Haha, life is terrible." At this time, the old man suddenly stopped smiling, "Hey, if there were more capable and loyal people like you around the old man, how could the Ding family have fallen to where it is now? We want to be in the border area
Find ways to make money."
Fei Ze's eyes were filled with pain, and he said: "That guy at Yangfeng deserves to die a good death. How many people in the staff were looked down upon because of him at that time. I really regret that I ever worshiped that bitch. Forget it, let's not talk about that."
Disgusting guy.
In fact, the current situation of the young master is not necessarily a bad thing. The border land also has its advantages. The royal family's control over it is reduced to a minimum. Many things can only be done conveniently here. You can squeeze into the center of power and fight with the Ding family.
Which big family?
The Kong family can be regarded as the smartest family in the kingdom. They are not all hanging out in Nanzhao State. Although Juyang City is the place of the Four Wars, it is also the center of trade in the four realms. It happens to be a place where the big families look down on the small nobles.
It’s the right place for us to put down roots.”
"It does make some sense to hear what you say." Old Qian nodded and said, "You also know that the Protector of the Country has no territory or subjects. He is said to be a first-grade Marquis but is actually not as good as an earl. The King will be more prosperous if he takes more care of him.
, if you don’t take care of it, you will only be able to gnaw at the old money. Fortunately, the young master can build a family from scratch and create a foundation wherever he goes."
"I have studied the young master's entrepreneurial path, and it has basically never happened before. It is said that a vision came from the sky when the young master was born. The night when the Ding family was attacked, there was a thunderstorm, killing all the thieves, but him.
The Marquis and the housekeeper are fine. Maybe they are really blessed by the Eternal Temple and are here with the mission of changing the world." Fei Ze understood Ding Kui quite thoroughly.
"The young master must be blessed by the God of War. All those who oppose the young master will have a bad end. The earliest Fu Niuzhai, the female spy in Pingzhong County, the Anchang family, the Tian family, Hong Jin, the great martial artist who died tragically in Nanqiu County and
None of the assassins in the capital can be treated well. It is impossible to say something too mysterious, and these things that have already happened cannot be faked."
Old Qiantou didn't know what was going on in the Guyuan Empire, and he didn't count the people from the two northern empires.
"Oh, Liu Yu and I originally wanted to go back to the mountains and forests and live our lives honestly at home. If it weren't for the letter from Lord Marquis, how could we have come to join the young master and follow the people blessed by the Eternal Holy Church? Our
The younger generations can all benefit from it." Fei Ze was very grateful for his decision to go out.
Thump thump thump, Lu Yang was seen walking quickly.
"Master, Mr. Fei, there is news from the county that the county governor plans to set up a road card in the county to prevent foreign spies from sneaking in." Lu Yang handed Lao Qiantou a note.
"It's amazing. If I hadn't known Mr. Qian's background, I would have thought that you once worked in the Intelligence Department. In just a short time, you have planted spies around Li Yan." Fei Zebu brought this to Lu Yang.
I was surprised by the news, but amazed by the source of the news.
Lu Yang did not treat Fei Ze as an outsider and said directly: "The county governor is an outside official, but most of the people working below are local people. Those at the top hope to be promoted, while those below hope to make money. People in the county governor's office have different attitudes.
The goal is actually not difficult for us to get started."
"We also have Li Yan's spy around us. How long has the carriage business been established? He just wants to make a fuss on the road. If the water in the pond hadn't been so muddy, I'm afraid he would have already issued a decree." Old Qiantou saw more from the news.
"Does he dare? If he really dares to do this, it will give us an excuse to take him down. Well, we must guard against him looking for a scapegoat. In case any of the city lords can't figure it out, set up a road card within the city first.
We still have influence." Fei Ze expected that Li Yan would not have the courage.
"Young Master has just arrived at the county town. He reported to General Zhang about the carriage and horse business. It is necessary to inform him as soon as possible to prepare for the response. It would be better for General Zhang to come forward." Old Qiantou rubbed his palms and the note became
powder.
"Don't worry, let's try to encourage Li Yan and let him get on the shelf and be roasted by the fire. Let's prepare a batch of Meng's fruits and wait for an opportunity to send them to the station of the 2o7 Division in Huashan County as the first brigade for the friendly forces.
A reward." Fei Ze tapped the palm of his hand with one finger.
The old money man looked at Fei Ze thoughtfully and asked, "Don't you think so?"
Fei Ze nodded and smiled: "Haha, it doesn't matter what I think. It depends on what Li Yan thinks."
Because Huatongcheng is close to the mine and is stuck on an important traffic artery south of the mine, it is a relatively prosperous city in Nanqiu County, and it was also a city that was put under official control relatively early after the war.
The city lord Nan Qi was transferred after the war. The previous city lord died in the war. Nan Qi had a powerful background in Nanzhao Prefecture and was considered a relatively strong local official. Even Li Yan did not look down upon him.
That day, Nan Qi's staff got the news from nowhere, and excitedly came to tell Nan Qi, "Sir, the county governor plans to set up road cards in the entire county next year. This is to prevent the infiltration of foreign spies, and to plunder the wealth of passing merchants in order to improve their fortunes.
Achievements for next year.”
"Really? Using Daoka to make money is a good way. There have been a lot more merchants passing through Huatong City recently. Why should the county governor make this money? We also have the right to set up Daoka." Nan Qi shook his face.
The fat on his face, he narrowed his triangular eyes.
"In order to facilitate the transportation of Huatong ore, this city spends a lot of money on road maintenance every year. The money collected from road cards should be retained by this city. We can make up for the shortfall in maintenance costs." Nan Qi's staff shook their heads.
say.
"That's right, the merchants who come and go have damaged our roads, and they should pay for road repairs. I announce that starting from tomorrow, a road card will be set up on the main road in Huatongcheng, and any vehicle passing by will have to pay for road maintenance.
fee."
Nan Qi was so excited that his staff came up with an excellent way to make money. The cost of road maintenance in Huatong City will be allocated by the state pastor every year. He will not lose a copper plate just because he set up a road card. The road card will collect the money.
The money nominally belongs to the city lord's palace, but in fact it can all fall into his pocket.
In early December 4875, as the cold current from the north moved southward, the first snowfall of winter began in Nanqiu County, and the roads became muddy due to the snow.
A motorcade was escorted by nearly a hundred people, walking slowly from east to west on the main road in Huatong City. The group of people were all wearing brand new leather robes, and each of them rode a horse. Although they had to drive the vehicle themselves,
He doesn't look like someone who sells his labor.
There was a checkpoint on the road ahead. A soldier guarding the checkpoint took a few steps out of the convoy and shouted loudly: "Stop, all dismount and undergo inspection. All vehicles must be moved aside first."
"Hey, when did there be a checkpoint here? How come I haven't seen it before?" The man in the convoy looked a bit vulgar, but his tone was not small.
"Oh, who do you belong to? If you don't get off your horse quickly, I will take you as a spy." The soldier was furious and waved the spear in his hand to scare the people in the convoy.
