Despite the discordant episode in the morning, the afternoon surveying and mapping exercise continued. However, for safety reasons, the distance between the small flags in the afternoon was not too far, and they agreed to look after each other. Also, in order to avoid
This caused new misunderstandings, and the surveying and mapping work was only carried out on hilly slopes, avoiding the fields of wealthy families.
Chen Dao just grunted about all these arrangements and did not express his position, as if he was really just a soy sauce guy. Su Hao couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he just pretended to be stupid. He really didn't respond.
Everything has changed.
In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Dao finally came to see Su Hao. He said to Su Hao: "Instead, we will finish the drill here today and set off tomorrow to continue downstream. Xiong Ji and Xu Guangqi went upstream.
We are heading in the same direction, Xiong Ji is going to Nanchang Mansion, and Xu Guangqi is said to have listened to your invitation and is going to Fengcheng, do you know about this?"
Su Hao nodded and said: "I already know that they plan to set off with us tomorrow, but we are going north and they are going south."
Chen Daodao: "We have clearly offended Wu Yuanwai with what happened today, but he remained calm. I am worried about what he will do. If he comes to attack us, we are an army after all, and there are many ways to deal with it.
But if they can’t do anything to us and turn to look for bears, then wouldn’t it be bad luck for the two of us and our friends would be hurt?”
Chen Dao woke up the dreamer with a word, and Su Hao suddenly said: "I have ignored this matter. According to Brother Chen, what should we do?"
Chen Daodao said: "In my opinion, we can send a small banner of soldiers to escort the two of them to leave immediately and go to Nanchang Mansion to stay. Although I don't know who Wu Yuan is, I can't reach Nanchang Mansion even if I want to.
After our small flag sergeant sent them there, he then took a civilian boat to chase us. If there are boats coming and going on the Gan River, Wu Yuan would not know that there are any of our people among them."
"What Brother Chen said is true, I will make arrangements right now," Su Hao said.
Xiong Ji already knew about Chen Dao's arrangement. When Su Hao found him, he pretended to be polite and then hurriedly packed his things. Xu Guangqi was a little surprised by this arrangement, but after hearing what Su Hao said, he also
I was a little scared, so I hurried to pack my luggage and left the Woodcutter Station with Xiong Ji.
Su Hao asked Chen Guanyu to hire a small boat on the dock, and sent a soldier with a small flag to escort Xiong and Xu. Since Chen Guanyu gave him a lot of silver, the boss of the boat patted his chest and assured Su Hao that they would be there before dark.
We can safely deliver you two to Nanpu Station where Nanchang Prefecture is located.
"Brother Xiong, Brother Xu, let's say goodbye here." On the dock, Su Hao bowed his hands to Xiong and Xu.
Xu Guangqi said: "Thank you for taking care of Gaizhi. After Guangqi arrives in Nanchang tonight, he will leave for Fengcheng early tomorrow morning. Then he will wait in Fengcheng for Gaizhi to return from Yunnan."
Xiong Ji chuckled and said, "Brother Gaizhi, I also plan to go to Fengcheng. Do you welcome me?"
Su Hao said: "When Brother Xiong goes to Fengcheng, be sure to inform me in advance. I will leave the city ten miles away to meet you."
Xiong Ji said: "I have some business in Nanchang and then go to Fengcheng. It will take more than ten days before and after. Can you make it back from Yunnan?"
"This..." Su Hao was stunned. He thought that Xiong Ji was just saying something polite about going to Fengcheng. Who would have thought that Xiong Ji really had this intention and was going to go soon. He wondered: "
Does Brother Xiong also have business in Fengcheng?"
Xiong Ji said: "Gaizhi is really not a good friend. I heard Chen Dao and Zi first talk about it, and then I realized that Gaizhi had done so many things in Fengcheng, including coal, phosphate fertilizer, colored glaze, and telescopes.
Something that could make a lot of money was hidden from only me."
"Uh... Brother Xiong doesn't want to do business in this area, right?" Su Hao said.
Xiong Ji said: "Since ancient times, the nature of businessmen is to pursue profits. Brother Yu is a businessman, so he naturally pursues profits. Hearing that Gaizhi has produced so many good things, Brother Yu is salivating and is about to take advantage of Gaizhi's absence.
I bought it at a low price and sold it to Zhejiang. Gai sent troops to send us to Nanchang Mansion, which moved Brother Yu very much, so I made it clear to Gai."
"Haha, that's it." Su Hao said with a smile. Of course he knew that Xiong Ji was just joking, but his willingness to cooperate was true.
It turned out that both Chen Dao and Xu Guangqi told Xiong Ji about Su Hao's invention. Xiong Ji himself saw the telescope used in the survey camp and immediately discovered the huge business opportunities hidden in this product. He originally planned to take advantage of today's
In the evening, he talked with Su Hao about cooperation. The situation has changed now. For safety reasons, he had to leave Qiaoshe Town early, so he had to mention the matter at the dock.
"If Brother Xiong is interested in my gadgets, just go and negotiate with the shopkeeper and second shopkeeper of Su's Trading Company. Whatever price you negotiate will be whatever price you agree on. I will have no objection," Su Hao said.
The two shopkeepers are Lu Xiuer and Su Xiaohu. They are both people whom Su Hao can trust. He should not suffer any loss when discussing business with Xiong Ji.
Xiong Ji said: "Brother Yu heard that his replacement wrote two letters of recommendation before he came to me. Could it be that he refused to write even one letter of recommendation when he came to me? Do you think that Brother Yu is a businessman and the smell of copper all over his body is unbearable?"
"How dare you, how dare you." Su Hao said repeatedly, "Brother Xiong, if you need to recommend a book, I can write it for you right away."
So, Su Hao stood on the dock and hurriedly wrote another letter to Lu Xiu'er. The letter explained that Xiong Ji had introduced him and asked Lu Xiu'er to discuss cooperation matters with Xiong Ji at the usual business price. Xiong Ji
He put away the letter, thanked Su Hao, and then boarded the boat with Xu Guangqi and headed towards Nanpu Post.
After seeing off Xiong and Xu, Su Hao felt a lot more relaxed. Now, no matter what kind of tricks Wu Yuanwai tried, he no longer had any burden. There were more than 100 people in the Kanyu Camp. Even if Wu Yuanwai was a local tycoon, could he?
Can more guards be gathered to come and provoke?
The afternoon survey ended peacefully. Everyone in the survey camp returned to the temporary camp, made a fire to cook, and prepared to rest. Hao Tong walked around outside the camp and came back to report to Su Hao: "Su Baihu, our camp
There are more eye spies around, it seems that Wu Yuanwai is still thinking about us."
"Really? Take me to see it." Su Hao responded.
Hao Tong led Su Hao to the edge of the camp. Su Hao followed his directions and saw some people wandering around on the street, under trees and other places. They were doing nothing, pretending to be passing by or setting up stalls, but their eyes were open.
Frequently staring in the direction of Kanyu Camp. Hao Tong had served as a scout in the army, and his eyes were very poisonous. He could tell at once that these people came with bad intentions.
"Damn, what on earth does this Wu guy want to do?" Su Hao muttered.
Hao Tong said: "According to my subordinates' guess, he should be looking for help. The help hasn't arrived yet, so he wants to send someone to keep an eye on us to prevent us from leaving without warning."
"Could he still collude with strong men to bring us trouble?" Su Hao asked.
Hao Tong shook his head and said: "This does not mean that colluding with strong men to frame officers and soldiers is really a serious crime of rebellion. This member Wu should be a person with a family and a career, so he would not do such an extreme thing."
"Then what help can he find?" Su Hao asked again.
Hao Tong said: "Looking at the opponent's formation, maybe he wants to wait for someone from the government to handle the matter."
"We didn't do anything wrong, and there's nothing the government can do about it." Su Hao said, "Ignore him. Let's eat when we need to eat and sleep when we need to. When he makes a move, we'll see him again."
Hao Tong clasped his fists and said, "The general also has the same intention. He is just worried that Su Baihu will not be at ease."
When it came to war matters, Su Hao felt that he was not as experienced as Hao Tong and Deng Kui, so he simply handed over the power to them and asked them to arrange duty and other matters. Hao Tong was a very careful person. On the one hand, he ordered the investigation camp
The soldiers had to rest as usual and not panic. On the other hand, several layers of hidden sentries were arranged to strictly guard the camp to prevent any unexpected events.
Su Hao and others are still living in the post house, so they don't have to worry about their own safety. If the official is attacked in the post house, it will be a big deal. I believe that a local snake like Yu Yi will not allow this to happen.
of.
The night passed peacefully again. The next morning, Su Hao and Chen Dao left the post house and returned to the camp. Hao Tong reported to them that those who were watching around the camp had not evacuated the night before.
, but did not take any further action. This situation made Su Hao feel very uneasy. Think about it, he has offended someone, and instead of coming to find trouble, they arranged for a group of people to keep an eye on you.
, what kind of feeling is this.
"Master Chen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Su Hao asked Chen Dao for instructions.
Chen Dao said: "Since Wu Yuanwai has been refusing to show up for a long time, we don't have to wait for him. After breakfast, let's set off as planned. I guess he will be anxious when he sees us setting off.
Otherwise, once we leave this Qiaoshe Station, who else can he go to?"
"This old guy is really calm." Su Hao muttered.
Chen Dao smiled and said: "Change it so that you can remember it in the future so that you can restrain your soldiers and not cause trouble. You see, we are all frightened now."
Su Hao sighed: "Is this something I can escape without causing trouble?"
The Kanyu camp began to break out of camp and set off. When they saw the soldiers collecting tents, the people who were watching nearby started to move. They gathered together to discuss with each other, and then a few people ran away in a hurry.
They probably went back to spread the news. The rest of the people stayed where they were and continued to observe the movements of the survey camp.
Su Hao decided not to leave time for the opponent to react. He ordered everyone to speed up and do everything according to wartime requirements. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of Kanyu Camp had packed up everything.
, those embroiderers living in the post house also came out. Su Hao gave an order, and the team marched toward the pier. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
