Four hundred and thirtieth chapters seek a long-term livelihood
Chapter 433: Find a long-term career
About a quarter of an hour later, Lao Wu returned.
"Brother, send him back to the official road..." Lao Wu opened the door and said.
Not long after the middle-aged man finished explaining to the fourth child what it means to be a thief, when he saw the fifth child coming back, he greeted him: "It's getting late, go back."
After saying that, the middle-aged man took the fourth and fifth children out of the hut and called the other two people to leave together.
While walking, Lao Wu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do we really want to take this deal?"
The middle-aged man nodded calmly and said: "Take it, why don't you take it? Six hundred taels of silver, if you don't make it, you won't make it in vain!"
After hearing this, the fourth child also came forward and echoed: "Yes, the fifth child, it's six hundred taels of silver! Do you think it's worth how many times we collect tolls?"
Lao Wu said worriedly: "Brother, although the money given in this business is a lot, the man named Chai Yan is from the Wude Division after all. The Wude Division in Shengguo is not an ordinary yamen. It is said that all of them are
It’s not easy to have unique skills!”
The fourth child was unconvinced and said: "What's wrong with Wude Si? We are also from the warrior group, don't we all have special skills? Right, brother..."
The middle-aged man sighed slightly and said patiently: "Lao Wu, how can you not know what kind of yamen Wudesi is? I have naturally considered these issues, but think about it, is it possible for us to continue like this?
?Can we block roads and rob all day long? Of course not, we have to earn a little more money and find a long-term livelihood elsewhere..."
Lao Wu was silent. Of course he didn't want to collect tolls like this every day and bully some innocent people who had no power to resist!
The middle-aged man then said to everyone: "Brother has thought about it. Six hundred taels is a good price. Once we make money, we will leave Huaidu immediately and find another place where no one knows us. Buy some horses and hire some people.
What do you think about opening a serious carriage and horse racing business?"
"What a great idea, brother!"
Lao Wu thought this was a good idea as soon as he heard it. The carriage and horse shop mainly helps others transport goods. With the strength and skills of the few of them, there is no problem in driving and escorting the carriages.
"Well, it's pretty good!" The fourth child also thinks it's good. Not only is it very profitable to work on carriages and horses, but it's the most suitable for them.
The second brother and the fat third brother who followed behind also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one objected, the middle-aged man dared to go deeper and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've even thought of the name of the carriage and horse shop. Let's call it Warriors carriage and horse shop!"
"Warrior horses and carriages..." Lao Si held his chin and thought for a while, then said weakly: "Brother, it's better not to use the word warrior, it's not... it's unlucky.
ah......."
Lao Wu asked unhappily: "Why is it unlucky?"
The middle-aged man also turned to look at the fourth child, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The fourth child said with reason: "Yes, we brothers all came from the Warriors Group, but the Warriors Group is gone, and even the Stone Kingdom is gone. Since we have to make a long-term living, there is no use for it.
Isn't it unlucky to name something after something..."
These words made Lao Wu turn from unhappy to unhappy. He glared at Lao Si and said: "Cheng Jiu, I don't like to hear what you are saying...Yes! Shi Guo and the Warriors are
They are all gone, but eldest brother and the rest of us are still there. As long as we are not dead, the Warriors will always be in my heart!"
The fourth child didn't want to argue with the fifth child about this. He turned around and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can think whatever you want..."
The middle-aged man said to the abbot, "Okay, stop arguing. I haven't even said a word about the carriage and horse business. It's not too late to discuss it after the deal is completed!"
The fourth child nodded upon hearing this, and then proactively requested: "Brother, just leave this matter to me. A small official doesn't need many people, hehe..."
The middle-aged man didn't look relaxed. He shook his head slowly and said, "Fourth, this is not as easy as you think..."
"But it's not difficult, right?" The fourth child walked carelessly, bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it to the bushes in the distance, and then said: "Brother, although that man is from Wude, he is also
He is just a clerk who looks at the library, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? He said he has one nose and two eyes, even if he has three heads and six arms, I will still get him back for you!"
"Fourth, if someone is willing to spend six hundred taels of silver for us to arrest someone, it shows that the man named Chai Yan is not simple. That housekeeper Zhou keeps saying that he is an ordinary businessman. Haha, an ordinary businessman can...
Is it just six hundred taels?" The middle-aged man's mind is still very clear.
After a pause, the middle-aged man added: "As an old saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials! Even if Mr. Zhou is a wealthy man, what good does it do him to offend Wude Si?"
"Yeah..." The fourth child didn't think deeply enough. He patted his head and said, "Brother, why didn't I think of that..."
Lao Wu looked at him with contempt and said disdainfully: "Because you only have money in your mind!"
"Hahaha..." The third child behind him immediately laughed.
The fourth child was unhappy, so he turned around and gave the third child a slap. Although the third child was still laughing, the sound of laughter was gone.
Lao Wu asked: "Brother, according to your opinion, that Mr. Zhou is not a businessman? Then who can he be?"
"I don't know..." The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head, saying: "There is no need to know! As long as they can afford the money, we will concentrate on using the money to do things..."
Then, the middle-aged man put on a decisive expression: "No matter how powerful that Chai Yan is, if there are five of us taking action, can't we still defeat him?"
The fourth child said confidently: "Yes, eldest brother is right! If we can't get one to read the library, then our lives will be in vain!"
Lao Wu had no objection and said: "Brother, you saved my life. You can do whatever you say, and I will listen to you!"
"Hey, hey, are you the one?" The fourth child curled his lips, pointed at the second brother and the third brother, and shouted: "Who among us was not saved by the elder brother, we were all dragged out by the elder brother among the dead, okay?
good?"
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. As long as I, Ge Hong, have good brothers like you by my side, I will be happier than anything else..."
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed after saying this: "Old Four and Old Five, you two will go to a nearby village to buy some food and, by the way, some wine. Tonight we brothers will have a big meal and drink.
happy!"
"Okay!" The fourth child immediately made an excited voice.
Lao Wu also nodded.
As soon as the third child heard that there was food and drink, he immediately became energetic and shouted that he and the fourth child would go into the village to buy food. As he talked, even the harrassers came out.
After the laughter, the five people continued to move forward, and half an hour later they arrived outside a remote cave.
This is the temporary residence of the five people, and the thatched cottage in the forest just now is just an abandoned hut they accidentally discovered, which is usually used as a shelter from the rain.
This is why they dared to take Xu Zhengquan to the thatched house without blindfolding him.
As a soldier commander of the Stone Kingdom Knights in the past, Ge Hong had managed nearly a hundred people under his command, so he still had this in mind.
