Su Ren got up early, ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and then took Huo Jin and others out of the Changshi Mansion. There had been no Changshi Mansion in Kuaiji for many years, and even the Changshi Mansion was borrowed. Everyone knew that Su Ren was here
If you don't stay here long, you won't have to do many things realistically.
Over the years, the prefect Yan Zhu has actually exercised the power of the long history. Although Su Ren came, he did not compete with him for power. Naturally, Yan Zhu couldn't ask for it, and there was no reason to come to him. Su Ren also ended up in a leisurely situation.
The two of them remained silent in tacit agreement.
As soon as Su Ren stepped out of the courtyard, he saw his master's father standing outside the door with two dark circles under his eyes. He had been here for a long time, and his body was wet with dew. He shuddered involuntarily when the wind blew: "You're quite here.
Morning! Very good!”
Master Fuyan quickly bowed down and said, "I pay my respects to the Chief of Staff."
Su Ren smiled and said: "The title changes quite quickly. In the prefect's place, you are the chief clerk, but here you can continue to be the chief clerk."
"No!" The master's father lowered his head, and the expression on his face did not change. He didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.
Su Ren looked around and told Hawking: "Go find a horse for Mr. Master. The place we are going to go is quite far today."
A large group of people roared through the streets of Kuaiji, and the walking people quickly dodged. Some of the slow running shoes dropped, which made Su Ren laugh on the horse. This is the life that people should live, and they can only walk like a hawk.
, standard dandy behavior. In later generations, even rich people and country bumpkins who want to do this will have to consider whether they will be punished by me when they go back. In the Han Dynasty, there is no such worry at all.
Su Ren's ears felt a little feverish. It was said that someone was cursing behind his back. It was strange that no one was scolding him when he was riding in Kuaiji City just now. He rushed out of the east gate in one breath and arrived fifty miles away in the blink of an eye. Shaping was the address of the new city chosen by Su Ren.
, it is indeed sandy here. At first glance, you can hardly see much green, and what you see is an earthy yellow.
The wind blew up the gravel and whizzed past. The white horse quickly closed its eyes, a little frightened, and retreated continuously. It took Su Ren a long time to stabilize it.
Hawking spat out the gravel in his mouth: "What kind of shabby place is this? Even the wind can blind one's eyes. Can anyone live in it?"
Su Ren had been prepared for it. When he went out, he put a silk handkerchief around his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Master is right. This place is indeed a good place to build a city. It is flat and neat. The best thing is that it is not far from the sea."
Far away, is there the sea in front of you?"
Master Fuyan said quickly: "Exactly! There is the sea ten miles ahead, and it is a bay. It is ideal to build a dock and dock."
Su Ren nodded: "Then our city will be built for ten miles. As soon as we leave the city, we can reach the seaport to avoid trouble in the future. Let's go and have a look at the beach."
Su Ren took the lead, and everyone quickly followed. Su Ren was a typical otaku. Since he was a child, he had never been to a distant city except where he grew up and went to school. As for the sea, he had only seen it on TV.
Facing the real sea for the first time, Su Ren felt that this was paradise on earth, and boating on the sea was the spirit a man should have.
There was a hint of saltiness in the sea breeze. Su Ren opened his arms, closed his eyes, and tried his best to feel the breath of the sea. He stood on the cliff for a full stick of incense, and Su Ren did not leave. Hawking and others were very fond of the sea.
Fear prevented him from taking a step forward. He looked at Su Ren enjoying himself from a distance and felt baffled. Only his father-in-law Yan followed Su Ren closely, never leaving.
"It's here. Don't look for it anymore. Let the prefect recruit civilians tomorrow and let's start work."
The master's father Yan was surprised and said: "Are you too impatient? Building a city is not a child's play. It depends on the date and location. This is a big deal. It doesn't mean erecting a city wall to become a city?"
"Don't bother me. I built the city and paid for it. I can do it as quickly as I want. I don't have much time here in Kuaiji. Wouldn't it be nice to do more things within the effective time?"
The master's father Yan smiled awkwardly: "If the prefect..."
"Don't worry about him. You are my subordinate now. You can do whatever I ask you to do. If you make a mistake, it is also my responsibility. You must remember this clearly, unless you want to go back now."
"No, no, no, I don't dare, I will do it now!"
Su Ren nodded: "There is one more thing I want to explain to you clearly. When we recruit civilian workers, they do not work for free. They must pay wages. It would be better if they are willing to exchange wages for food. Craftsmen are different from others. They must get an extra share to build the city.
I'll leave it to you to handle, and you must remember these things."
The master's father looked at Su Ren doubtfully: "Would it be possible to do this...? There has never been such a precedent before."
"It's available from me, go ahead and do it!"
"promise!"
After hurriedly walking around Shaping and roughly determining the location and layout of the new city, the group hurried back to Kuaiji. The master's father, Yan Zi, had matters assigned by Su Ren to deal with, so Su Ren took the people back to Chang Shi's Mansion.
I was hungry after running around all morning, but I was shocked by the situation in the yard as soon as I entered. Li Danghu was standing on the steps in front of the lobby, comforting a group of people in the yard. Gongsun He stood aside and watched coldly, not offering any help.
It means. The most annoying thing is that Ying Guangji and Jingjing sat on the steps playing chess and turned a deaf ear to what happened in the yard.
"Mr. Su is back!" Someone shouted. Those who were listening to Li Danghu's words immediately turned around and pounced on Su Ren.
A fat guy came up to Su Ren and spoke in authentic Shu dialect: "Mr. Su, you are back. We are all anxious to death. Our goods will no longer be safe."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly, the sky won't fall!"
These people are all businessmen from Shu who were tricked by Su Ren. Cui Jiuming was still in town a few days ago. No one dared to come to Su Ren to cause trouble. Since Cui Jiuming left, the merchants from Shu have lost their backbone.
At the slightest sign of trouble, he came to Su Ren anxiously.
The fat merchant took a breath: "I suddenly heard this morning that the governor of Kuaiji was going to confiscate our goods. These goods were all sent according to Mr. Su's wishes. If they were really confiscated, how would we go back and explain to the shopkeeper?
."
"I heard? Have you all heard?"
Many people nodded repeatedly: "That's not all. Some people said that not only the goods should be detained, but also the people should be detained. Let us continue to transport the goods as collateral, otherwise we will not be allowed to return to Shuzhong! Mr. Su, we will not do this business."
Did you do it? The southerners are cunning, they can’t afford to offend us, and they can’t afford to hide away?”
"Pa!" Su Ren slapped the cases: "Whoever spread the rumors really deserves to be killed!" He softened his tone and continued: "You don't need to pay attention to this matter. I hereby assure you that this matter is pure.
It's nonsense, as long as I, Su Ren, am here, I'll see who dares to touch the people of our Sichuan Chamber of Commerce."
As soon as these words came out, the anxious merchants calmed down in an instant, there were smiles on their faces, and their bodies relaxed a lot. The fat merchant pushed the people around him and said: "I said Mr. Su will not care whether we live or die, you all
I have to ask clearly, are you satisfied now?"
The merchant next to him gave the fat merchant a blank look and ignored him.
After doing some more comfort work, he sent the merchants out. Su Ren turned around and looked at the few people in the yard, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Ying Guangji.
Ying Guangji smiled: "Don't look at me, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"It's strange that it has nothing to do with you. Do you dare to say that these rumors are not spread by you? At least there is your shadow. If you want to win over the Yue people, go on your own. Don't hinder me. I'll give you half a year and don't disturb me in building the city.
"
"real!"
"When have I, Su Ren, ever spoken without counting? As long as you can take those Yue people away, I will have no problem with you. In half a year, all the Yue people will be mine. Even if you want to take them away, you have no chance."
“It’s a deal!”
"Humph! You villain!" Su Ren glared at Ying Guangji: "Don't do such little tricks again! I'm just wondering, are there people in your Wumuya area? And they all like to trick their own people?"
Ying Guangji smiled and did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.
Jingji threw away the chess piece in his hand and sighed: "It's over! The Yue people will be unlucky!"
Su Ren suddenly remembered something, and said to Ying Guangji: "I tell you one thing, you'd better not go to South Vietnam. Their envoy has agreed to move inland, so don't lose your spirit there again."
"Hahaha..." Ying Guangji laughed: "Don't use any provocation against me, it's useless! I know the affairs of South Vietnam better than you. Although the King of South Vietnam, Zhao Xing, intends to move inward, how can he act as the prime minister?
A group of people led by Lu Jia don't think so, and with the support of Minyue Wang Wuzhu, I don't think Zhao Xing can survive for long! Don't expect me to confuse the Yue people for you. Since I promised half a year, you'd better keep your hands off during this half year.
Stretch out across the land.”
"You did a good job in your homework! Okay, just for half a year, let me see how you are capable. If you pass it, you can become my staff."
Ying Guangji smiled, turned around and told his men to pack their things and head to Yue Di.
Su Ren had just sat down, without even drinking a glass of water, when Huang Yue came. Today he was wearing a suit of armor, looking majestic and cheerful. After entering the door, he bowed his head and kept calling himself the last general, and he had not yet led the troops.
, he proclaimed himself the captain of the school, leaving Su Ren dumbfounded.
Helping Huang Yue up, Su Ren said with a smile: "Master Huang, what do you mean by this? Didn't you agree to wait until the city starts to be built before leading troops to protect it? Why are you here now?"
Huang Yue said: "My father asked me to come. My father said that Brother Su is very talented and learned, and asked me to get closer to you. From today on, I will be a member of the Changshi Mansion. There is my luggage outside the door. I will move in today. Su
It’s more convenient for big brother to do whatever he wants.”
Su Ren was completely helpless. He had just asked for a master from Yan Zhu, and Huang Qi immediately sent his son as an undercover agent. These two people really thought highly of him and treated him as a figure. Now that Huang Yue has been appointed as a bodyguard,
If you know that he is an undercover agent, you can't kick him out, so you can only stay here despite knowing that he is an undercover agent.
After eating, Su Ren felt very tired. He just wanted to do something, but he attracted so many people's attention. How could he do practical things? He lay on the couch with his eyes open and couldn't sleep. Only today did he feel that he had left Chang'an.
It seems to be a mistake. It feels like I have just emerged from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den. (To be continued)
