In the eyes of everyone, Zheng Lixuan nodded stiffly, but he didn't know how Zheng Lixuan, who was said to be very famous among his peers in the past, became what he is now.
"When I came back, I saw that the house was still in good order. It shows that everyone is very attentive to our current career. Let's go and find a stable place and let's talk about it." Liu Jun looked satisfied no matter who he looked at.
From their looks, everyone felt as if their busyness during this period was also noticed by Liu Jun.
Under the guidance of Liu Heizi, after walking a few steps, everyone arrived at a room similar to the Juyi Hall, except that except for one seat at the top, more than twenty people could sit around a long table in the center of the hall.
Liu Jun looked at it, but instead of sitting on the top chair, he sat down around the long table facing the door.
The others looked at each other for a few moments and each found a seat to sit down. It was obvious that they had unknowingly arranged their seats.
The first one on the left hand is Li Zheng, which is easy to understand. He holds the combat power in the hands of the previous three masters. If other masters' subordinates came to join in during this period, they should also be under his command.
The first one on the right is Captain Chaixian, but looking at the faces of everyone, it is obvious that he is not very lucky, and he is obviously shameless and forced to sit on it. This person who has contributed to the team obviously has to be moved to the back.
The second and third ones from the left are Luo Tong and Shen Panqiao, who are brother and sister. Looking at the way they are flirting with each other while sitting there, they obviously don't care much about their seats.
The second on the right hand is Zheng Lixuan, the third on the right is Liu Heizi, and the fourth on the left is Wang Laoer.
Zheng Lixuan was obviously a little uneasy as he sat there. With his character, he may have made a lot of contributions, but he didn't think he could occupy his current position in this group, let alone being next to his shameless and cheap brother-in-law. Maybe
There are also people who are afraid of being thought that they are just relying on connections, or even being disapproved of their current identity as a thief.
Liu Heizi and Wang Laoer were the first people to follow him. It may be due to their ability. Both of them can play a butler-type role. It's just that Liu Heizi is kinder and more in line with Liu Jun's taste, while Wang Laoer is more cunning.
, they should handle interpersonal matters better, and if they work hard, there should be room for improvement.
Liu Jun thought for a while, called the guard outside the door, whispered something, and the guard left quickly.
Liu Jun began to learn about their recent work from everyone.
As early as ten days ago, when the first wave of more than a hundred refugees arrived, both sides were caught off guard. Even though they were frightened by hunger, the leading man still swallowed his saliva and stood up and told people that Liu Jun had called them.
Regarding the matter, Liu Heizi thought of Liu Jun's usual approach and believed it. After discussing it with the others, he decided to let everyone have a full meal first.
There was obviously some trouble at the beginning. One person's eyes were red with hunger, and all he could see was the broth in the pot. They swarmed around him. The other person was thinking about me giving you a meal, making you queue up without even wanting to do it. There was a thorn in the middle.
To start a fight, with just a few glances, people on both sides would start to confront each other. Li Zheng saw that something was wrong, so he led the people to rush over.
I have to mention that Zheng Lixuan, a scholar, was actually very courageous. He asked two people to carry a basket of steamed buns and set up a stall on the side. He shouted loudly: Come and line up, one steamed bun for each person, and put your belly first.
Immediately, some people came over, and naturally there were some who were unruly and making noises. He pressed against the opponent's body and told the opponent with wide eyes that the only way to get the steamed buns was in the queue. Seeing that the people in the queue were filling their mouths with the steamed buns, he
The one who arrived first couldn't eat it, and his eyes were almost red.
Zheng Lixuan calmed down at this time and told the other party that there is no point in rushing. If you break the rules, you will be punished. If you touch yourself, your life will be lost. Think about how much suffering you have gone through to have food here. If you die,
Is it worth it?
That day, the man who made noises was the last one to eat. It is said that when he got the buns, he cried and finished them.
After that, under the command of Zheng Lixuan, after these refugees had eaten, they found a place for them to take a bath and let people see if they had any external injuries or anything. Of course, men and women were separated, and the women were naturally taken care of by the mother-in-law in the village, and any illnesses were treated.
sick.
After that, they assigned the places they wanted to go to according to their respective situations. The stronger ones were naturally the most popular. The Dual Knives picked some, Chaixian Lieutenant picked some, and even the snack bar picked several to go into the kitchen.
.
There are various places for those who are in average health, but the most common ones are to cultivate land at the foot of the mountain. When Liu Jun came back, he had already seen that all the places on the roadside where the soil quality was not too bad had been turned into fields.
Liu Jun has now set his sights on Luofengtan. He has no choice. According to his rough estimate on the way back, he saw almost a thousand people rushing this way. If he can't absorb these people by then,
It will inevitably hinder the development of this new group.
Liu Jun was in urgent need of new sources of profit. He didn't need a business that was very profitable, but he needed to have quick return of funds. While Liu Jun was thinking hard, the door was pushed open and a pale middle-aged man walked in.
Liu Jun stood up: "Brother Xue, you are here."
Xue Min sat down at the last seat, but Li Zheng couldn't sit down anymore. He was an old man from the village, so he naturally knew about Xue Min and stood up quickly: "Brother Xue Min, you are really slapping us in the face by sitting here.
Regardless of your merits, with your martial arts skills, you should still be in the upper hand position."
Xue Min has a cold temperament and doesn't care about the seat. Liu Jun also stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother Xue, I know you don't care about the seat, but this is Li Zheng's wish after all. Just sit there. Otherwise, it's like this
It’s not a problem to pull around.”
Xue Min had the right idea and followed the two men's wishes and moved to the first position on the left hand. Li Zheng walked up to Captain Chai and looked at him without saying a word.
The Chaixian captain felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. After a few seconds, he stood up and looked at the senior brothers and sisters opposite who were still flirting. They now have more than 200 people under their command. Although not all of them can fight, he is still far behind them.
, had no choice but to look at his wife and brother.
Zheng Lixuan didn't have any objections, and he even breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Heizi looked at Wang Laoer's somewhat ugly expression and sat directly in the fourth seat from the right, with Zheng Lixuan third from the right and Chaixian Lieutenant second from the right.
At this time, a tall man in tattered clothes pushed in the door. He was the leader of the refugees designated by Liu Jun, named Liu Shida. When he entered the room, he saw that the others were sitting just right. When Liu Jun motioned for him to sit down, he
I sat down in the last position.
Seeing everyone seated, Liu Jun expressed his thoughts. When he heard that there were at least a thousand people on the road, everyone frowned. The one who understood the current situation best was Zheng Lixuan. Seeing him hesitating, he didn't know what to do.
He shouldn't have spoken, so Liu Jun named him directly.
"Scholar, you are the most learned among us. I wonder if you have any ideas."
Zheng Lixuan stood up. When it was his turn, he was not afraid of the stage. He took a deep breath: "I admire Leader Liu's idea of saving more people, but based on Leader Liu's current income, people nowadays have begun to hinder development.
, if we continue to recruit refugees, and there are another two hundred to three hundred people, Leader Liu will not have any income, and all of this income will be spent on supporting these refugees."
He paused: "Unless, unless we do some less formal business."
Chaixian Lieutenant became more energetic: "Not so formal business? Smuggling? Those black traders who are currently receiving goods may have some methods."
Zheng Lixuan glanced at Captain Chai: "We are so far away from the border. With our size, we will be eaten up by the soldiers at the border. I am talking about smuggling salt. Although we do not produce salt here, it is far away from us."
There is a salt pond in Sili not far from here."
In the eyes of ordinary people, selling private salt is a hugely profitable business, but it is incomparable with Liu Jun's current snack shop. Liu Jun can even buy private salt and reprocess it later, although he does not know how the refined salt in his previous life was made.
, but if you just melt and filter it and then let the salt recrystallize, he should still be able to do it.
Liu Jun immediately decided: "This can be done. There is no need to go to the salt pond now. First, buy a batch through a nearby private salt dealer. I have a method here that may improve the quality of the salt."
Turning to look at Luo Tong: "I have obtained the title deed for the land at Luofengtan. Recently, I have diverted people to cultivate it, but it may be troublesome, so I need you to be prepared and bring some people to station there for a period of time.
.until the trouble there is resolved.”
Except for the newcomers, everyone else knows something about Luofengtan and knows that there is something weird there. However, everyone now has some inexplicable admiration for Liu Jun and do not think that Liu Jun cannot solve the trouble there.
Regarding the arrangement of everyone, Xue Min needs to select a dozen people with the best martial arts skills and train them into a small team so that when Liu Jun encounters an opponent, he can deal with the opponent's helpers.
Zheng Lixuan continued to be responsible for the reception and diversion of subsequent refugees, assisted by the newly joined Liu Shida.
Others continue to work in their original jobs.
After the ceremony, Liu Jun took Luo Qiu's ashes to the Juyi Hall, handed the urn to the head master, and briefly explained the process.
Gongsun Liang touched the jar in his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Except for me and the second boss, the third one has been in the village for a long time. So many bloody storms have passed, but unexpectedly they fell on a small stone. This village has grown big, and people's hearts are not unified. Instead, you are the one who
Those who have just gone up the mountain will avenge him."
Gongsun Liang smiled bitterly: "While you were gone, some leaders jumped out and wanted to have a hand in your business. Although I suppressed them, I can't guarantee that they won't pop up again in the future. So, 10,000
One, if you have conflicts in the future, I hope you can show mercy. After all, we are old brothers, so just spare his life."
