Wen Chengxu was depressed in the county government office that day. Suddenly, several government officials rushed over with panic-stricken expressions, saying that something bad might be going on, Mr. Wen!
what's the situation?
The situation is that a group of soldiers and horses suddenly came from the west!
It seems that there are hundreds of people there. I wonder if they are bandits or bandits? Or the Japanese cavalry?
It's a big deal no matter who it is, right?
Wen Chengxu was also shocked. He quickly ordered people to close all the city gates on all sides and summoned all the strong men in the city to come to the city with swords, guns and sticks!
It is impossible for the Xianbo cavalry, because they have already retreated. What they fear most is the cruel bandits and bandits who will take advantage of the chaos to plunder. These guys are capable of killing, stealing, raping and plundering, and they can do anything!
Even if we risk our lives, we must contain the city, otherwise no one will survive!
However, when the other party walked in, I realized that they were not bandits, because the team was very neat, the flag was very clear, and a big "Xiao" character on the flag was fluttering in the wind...
Are these Marshal Xiao's soldiers?
It looked like there were only a hundred or so soldiers, and they looked like transport troops, because behind the cavalry were people driving mules, horses and carts, wearing black cloth... But who were they?
That's fine, but why is it that the leader is still a bald monk?
"Hey, hurry up and open the city gate and prepare meals. We are tired and hungry after walking all the way!" The leading monk raised his head and shouted loudly toward the city.
He sounded like a bandit.
"Eh? You're not Master Huiwu?" Wen Chengxu felt his heart move when he saw that he was a monk, and felt familiar again when he heard his voice.
"Hahaha, aren't you that Wen Chengxu? Why are you still here? Since you recognize me, why don't you open the city gate quickly? Otherwise, I will smash your gate and the city head with a shovel!" Just in time. Monk Hui Wu was also very happy to see Wen Chengxu.
He had led his troops through this place before to raise food and grass, but he did not harass the place. He just rested for a few days and then left. Wen Chengxu was the one who received him at that time, so the two knew each other.
"Open the door, open the door, this is not a bad guy, this is Lord Buddha!" Wen Chengxu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him, and ran out of the city to greet him in person.
I invited Monk Hui Wu to sit down at the county government office, and quickly ordered a banquet to be prepared for him. However, it was difficult to arrange accommodation for hundreds of people. I had an idea, how about asking everyone to forgive me and live in our prison?
Although the house is a bit dilapidated and in poor condition, it can at least provide shelter from wind and rain, and there is a yard where you can cook...
There have been no prisoners in Bailong City for many years, so the prison has always been empty, and he didn't expect it to be used one day.
Although the banquet was not very elaborate, it still included fish, meat, and spicy sorghum wine... It was still better than nothing.
Monk Huiwu came to protect the craftsmen and civilians who came to fight in the front line. Because Wanyan Pingqiu and the others requested to conduct the transaction before the year, Xiao Chen also had to prepare in advance.
Apart from anything else, you must have a pen for keeping cattle and sheep, right?
In addition, we have to find ways to collect some hay before the heavy snow comes. Otherwise, what will those cattle and sheep eat?
Cities with large pastures near Yanyun County have been notified to build a large number of sheep pens and stables, because it won't be long before hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses will arrive...
Everyone was confused because they didn't know where so many cattle and sheep came from, but Governor Xiao's order must be carried out.
Moreover, Governor Xiao did not recruit any civilians, but recruited them. All the workers were paid, and the required materials were purchased according to the price. Of course, these could also be paid for with sheep and oxen in the end...
This is a good thing!
I am worried that I will not be able to survive the winter...
"Master, what did you just say Governor Xiao was going to do?" Wen Chengxu's eyes nearly popped out.
"Our boss wants to build a trade market in your White Dragon City. From now on, all transactions with the tribes in Northern Xinjiang will be conducted here. Hahaha, you, Lao Wen, have made a fortune." Monk Hui Wu said with a smile.
To be honest, am I not dreaming?
"Originally, our boss thought that there was no one to manage Bailong City, so he sent me to take over. With you, Brother Wen, you can save me a lot of worry. Listen carefully, our boss will handle these things..." Hui Wu had been in contact with Wen Chengxu and knew that this man was smart, capable and responsible, so he immediately discussed various matters with him.
"There are people. I won't be fishing or hunting this winter. I'm staying at home. It's just that our Bailong City grain depot has long been empty. For such a big project and such hard and tiring work, just don't pay me. It's not okay if you don't give him food, right?" Wen Chengxu frowned.
When I said in my heart, I'm coming, I knew that no matter who came, they would have to torment the people first!
This doesn't mean it's forced labor.
"Who said we won't give you money?" Huiwu Niu stared at the boss, "I'll give you all the wages, but the boss said it can't be calculated on a day-to-day basis. What if someone is lazy and slips? So the money must be paid according to the completion of the project. , Brother Wen can just arrange what to do specifically. Anyway, I will give you the money when the time comes, and I will have to settle the account with you if it doesn’t work out.”
Besides, how can you ignore food? As long as you work, you not only take care of food but also take care of children!
You don't have to worry about this, just be responsible for completing this project.
Wen Chengxu was overjoyed when he heard this, really?
If that were the case, I wouldn't have to bother trying to mobilize the big guys. With this condition, they would come even if they cried and shouted!
Money aside, as long as I have food, I can handle this!
It turns out that all your carts are filled with grain? That would be great.
Monk Huiwu said, "What are you thinking about?" Those cars are full of tools and money, how can there be any food!
Oh... Wen Chengxu was slightly disappointed. The grain truck is on the road now, right? It's not easy to walk on this road now. It's snowing heavily in many places. If not, can I send someone to help?
Monk Hui Wu said that you are overthinking and there is no grain truck.
Wen Chengxu jumped up in anger on the spot, "Master Huiwu, I respect you as a hero, but you can't play tricks on me like this!"
Huiwu said who tricked you? The food is on the way, and the large logs needed for many projects have been shipped one after another. It is estimated that they will arrive before tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, let's go and take a look after dinner.
Damn it, I'm leading the troops on an errand, and the boss won't let me drink. The food is really tasteless, and my mouth feels like a bird...
Wen Chengxu said no, right?
I see you've been drinking a lot along the way. Otherwise, could you open your eyes and talk drunkenly to me?
Let me ask you one question, where is the food?
I think you are a pretty solid person. Why are you so restless and impatient?
Monk Huiwu saw that Wen Chengxu's face turned red and his neck was thick and he stopped eating, so he pulled him straight to the river in the north.
But I saw only the rolling water of the river and the surging waves...
Wen Chengxu climbed up a high slope, built a pergola with his hands, and looked far to the west, but he could not see a single sail.
