Hanzhi went to Bai Wumeng with the new sauce, but learned that Bai Wumeng was still in seclusion.
Hanzhi returned to his shop and found all the high-spending customers in the shop.
Let people prepare small portions of sauce and put them in the store as gifts to old customers.
As long as the other party comes to consume, give a copy to the other party.
Hanzhi plans to build a reputation for her secret sauce first and then slowly sell it.
This time, Hanzhi doesn't plan to sell it cheaply.
If she wants to make money, the more expensive she sells, the better.
Hanzhi is extremely short of money now.
Hanzhi and his men have been occupying the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts for two full months.
The severe cold has arrived.
There are now almost five thousand people in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Food, drink and daily necessities for five thousand people.
This is a very large expense.
Hanzhi's savings have long been gone.
The Rouge of Rouge Tower can hardly be sold now.
Hanzhi was lucky enough to discover a coal mine, which was a good thing.
Hanzhi immediately asked someone to turn the coal mine into briquettes.
Now that the weather is so cold, this thing must be selling well.
By selling coal, Hanzhi solved the financial pressure.
Everyone had a great time this winter, and no one froze to death.
Not only did everyone avoid the cold, they also wore new clothes.
Soon, the new year will come.
Therefore, Hanzhi plans to hold a New Year's Eve party in the Valley of Beasts.
During the New Year, let these people live by themselves.
In this case, these people should not be dissatisfied.
Hanzhi is ready to invite all members of the Beast King Valley to participate and feel the joy of the New Year together.
Since it was a party, it was necessary to have all kinds of food. Because the dishes would cool down quickly in winter, Hanzhi had someone prepare hot pot.
The hot hot pot, coupled with some spicy, spicy and other seasonings, is simply delicious!
Even very ordinary vegetables become extremely delicious after being blanched in a hot pot.
What's more, there is a lot of meat, fish and shrimp in the hot pot?
On such a night, everyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was sitting around, enjoying this most warm and comfortable moment.
Li Ergou was sitting with his family. He and his grandma were eating freshly cooked meaty slices.
The hot, fragrant meat pieces mixed with the white and tender fish fillets are really delicious.
"Mom, please eat slowly, don't choke." After saying that, Li Ergou handed the meat in his bowl to grandma.
Seeing her grandson in front of her being so filial and sensible, grandma was very happy: "Ergou, you have to remember that we are able to live such a good life now because of our boss. We must be loyal to our boss and help our boss well... …”
Li Ergou agreed with a smile.
In fact, for Li Ergou, he had already regarded Hanzhi as his master and was willing to follow him.
Hanzhi stood on the high platform and said to the people below: "This is the first time we celebrate the New Year. I hope that we can celebrate the New Year together like now every year.
Our Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts will get better and better in the future.
As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly, but if you betray me.
Today is a good day, so I won’t say any more.
Now I just hope that all of us will get better and better.
And everyone is willing to stay and settle down in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Our Ten Thousand Beasts Valley will expand, and it will definitely not be smaller than Cloud City in the future.
As long as there is no exploitation and oppression by the court, everyone can live a good life. "
There was warm applause and cheers below.
"Long live the boss! Long live the boss!"
Hanzhi smiled slightly and signaled everyone to quiet down. Hanzhi's voice was loud and exciting.
Everyone was cheering.
Next, Hanzhi said a few more words before leaving the high platform.
All that's left is performance time.
The sound of piano, flute, and various musical instruments sounded slowly.
At this time, all the men and women in the Valley of Beasts stood up and started dancing.
Some even sang and danced.
In short, there is peace in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Hanzhi returned to his house, closed the doors and windows, and relaxed.
She picked up the tea from the table and took a sip. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Although the voice was very soft, it still couldn't escape Han Zhi's keen senses and ears.
Hanzhi frowned. This footsteps definitely did not belong to Li Ergou or anyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Because she could clearly feel that this person was very dangerous.
She immediately went to the window and looked outside.
There was a mysterious master in the Valley of Beasts before.
Hanzhi has always been cautious and careful.
"Mrs. Gu is so majestic! She actually became the bandit leader so quickly."
A familiar voice sounded outside the window.
Hanzhi's face suddenly darkened, it was him - Bai Wumeng.
Bai Wumeng unexpectedly came out of seclusion so quickly.
Also found here.
Although Bai Wumeng didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Hanzhi, Bai Wumeng was the current national advisor, and he was using the anger of the imperial court to do things for the imperial court.
Such an identity and purpose destined Bai Wumeng to never be a kind person.
Hanzhi was still very nervous in her heart. She was worried that Bai Wumeng would find out that she had occupied the village and think she had the intention to rebel, and it would be bad to attack her then.
Thinking of this, Hanzhi snorted coldly, opened the door directly, stood at the window, and looked at Bai Wumeng: "Master National Preceptor, you came to my place late at night, don't you know what happened?"
Hanzhi asked, while watching the surroundings vigilantly to prevent Bai Wumeng from plotting against her.
"Mrs. Gu, with your three-legged cat skills, do you still need to be careful? If I really want to deal with you, I can do it easily."
Hanzhi sneered: "Oh? Really? Master National Preceptor, please."
Hanzhi pointed to the location next to him.
Bai Wumeng was not afraid, he walked straight to the table and sat down.
There was a slight smile on Bai Wumeng's lips, and he said: "Hanzhi, speaking of it, I have never done anything to you, but you have been plotting against me behind the scenes. Why are you so malicious towards me!"
"Because I'm too weak, so weak that you can kill me at any time as long as you have the slightest dissatisfaction.
Just like you did when you were in the Gu Mansion, I didn't kill Gu Yunhan, but you could choose to strangle me just because of your suspicion. "Hanzhi
Fight back without hesitation.
Bai Wumeng sighed and said, "Well, in fact, Mrs. Gu, there is no need for us to fight endlessly! We should be in harmony with each other."
"Well water does not interfere with river water? Hahahaha..." Hanzhi looked at Bai Wumeng mockingly and said, "Master Imperial Master, you must have noticed the corruption of the imperial court by now! Sheng Wuqi doesn't want to think about how to govern the country well. , thinking about how to suppress various sects in the martial arts world every day.
How to suppress us poor weak women so that all women in the world can become thoughtless and soulless tool people, who can only satisfy the oppression of this world and maintain this short-term peace. "
When Bai Wumeng heard these words, his eyes flickered.
Hanzhi saw Bai Wumeng's twinkling eyes and continued to say to Bai Wumeng: "Master National Master, Feiniao Jinliang Gongzang, if all the Jianghu sects fall, Sheng Wuqi will definitely take action against you. of.
It will be good for you to keep me.
I don’t want to rebel, and I’m not a relative of the emperor, so my reputation is not justified.
I just want to occupy a piece of land that belongs to me and develop this place well.
The imperial court had no control over this place before.
Without those sects, there would still be many bandits.
There are no less refugees in this world.
All the people I recruited are refugees and deserters. They are living very happily here. You should be able to tell their condition. "
Hanzhi said, his tone revealing deep exhaustion and loneliness: "Here, they will no longer be bullied! As long as they work hard, they can live a good life."
Hearing this, Bai Wumeng finally couldn't bear it and asked: "Is this the purpose of your coming to Yuncheng?"
"Yes." Hanzhi nodded: "Master Imperial Master, I believe you can understand my difficulty. I don't want the foundation I have worked so hard to destroy in one day."
"Then what qualifications do you have to order me?" Bai Wumeng's tone was slightly raised. His eyes were fixed on Hanzhi, as if he wanted to penetrate Hanzhi's body and see Hanzhi's heart clearly.
"What qualifications do I have?" Hanzhi clenched his fists, and his eyes burst out with dazzling light, like stars in the sky: "Master National Preceptor, of course I am not qualified, I am just asking."
After Hanzhi said these words, his eyes instantly turned red.
She turned away and wiped away her tears.
She didn't want to cry, didn't want to cry in front of others.
Hanzhi turned around and raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from his eyes.
She told herself not to cry.
She can't cry.
However, Hanzhi's shoulders still trembled twice.
"You are right, you are indeed not qualified to order me."
Bai Wumeng's indifferent voice sounded.
Listening to Hanzhi's sobbing voice, Bai Wumeng couldn't bear it.
He paused and then said: "But if you are really wholeheartedly serving the good of the people, then I can pretend to know nothing.
I can indeed feel the joy of everyone outside. They are very happy, and everyone is wearing new clothes. This is something that many people in Yuncheng don't have. I will stay here for a few days to check how everyone is doing. I'm not really living the life you said. . "
Hearing these words, Hanzhi's eyes filled with tears. She sniffed, then turned her head, looked at Bai Wumeng, and said, "Thank you."
Thank you for your willingness to help me.
Hanzhi didn't expect that Bai Wumeng would actually be convinced by her.
In fact, these tears were all the grievances in Hanzhi's heart, and they were also shed intentionally by Hanzhi.
Because she knew that Bai Wumeng would definitely agree to her.
This time, Hanzhi won the bet.
Han Zhi's heart filled with deep joy. She looked at Bai Wumeng and said, "Master Imperial Master, if you are willing to help, then I will arrange a job for you! There are coarse linen clothes here that you can change into. Go ahead, I suggest you, the Imperial Master, change your appearance, so that you can truly understand what kind of life everyone is living."
When Bai Wumeng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This sounds interesting, but I'm not used to being crowded with many people."
Hanzhi heard Bai Wumeng's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no need to squeeze. We have four beds in a room here, and the beds are all separate. It will be more convenient for you to sleep together and chat, and it will also be convenient for you to inquire about them." life.
Some words are inconvenient to say when there are many people. "
Bai Wumeng heard this and thought it made sense. He said, "Okay, I'll do it as you said! But can I participate in the party outside? It feels quite interesting."
Bai Wumeng had long been tempted by the smell of hot pot outside. It was so fragrant that he had wanted to eat it for a long time.
Hanzhi looked at Bai Wumeng's greedy look and couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled: "It's simple, I'll give you a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, you change your clothes, you see the food on that table is delicious, just go over and eat it, You can change tables and no one will tell you anything.”
"real!"
"Of course it's true. There are many people here who don't know each other. Only good people would bother to join me in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts!"
Bai Wumeng disguised himself into an ordinary-looking face. He put on a pair of coarse linen clothes and went out.
Bai Wumeng discovered that he could really eat whatever he wanted.
And those people were extremely enthusiastic and kept bringing him food.
"Brother, look at how angry you are. Did you just join our village recently?"
"yes!"
Bai Wumeng responded casually.
"You are really lucky. Our village is not recruiting people now. The boss said they would recruit people at the beginning of spring after the new year, but the main reason is that the deserters outside starved to death, so they recruited the last batch of people."
"Why are there so many deserted people in our Cloud City? I originally thought that this place was all mountains and there were many bandits and few people came here, so I wanted to come here."
Bai Wumeng asked the other party pretending to be casual.
He also didn't understand where so many refugees came from.
"Alas! You don't understand. There are mountains here, which proves that there is a lot of land here! When we come here, we can open up wasteland. If we can settle down, we can rely on our own ability to cultivate land to support ourselves and survive.
Since we didn’t have money to pay taxes, our family’s land had long been sold to those gentlemen in exchange for money to pay taxes.
I work hard every year on the ten acres of land at home, and the harvest I can get is just enough for food and clothing. I can barely survive, and my family has to live frugally to survive.
such a pity! This year's harvest is not good, and there won't be enough crops in the fields to pay taxes.
As a family, we had no choice but to move here.
It's a pity that my mother-in-law died on the road. Fortunately, my daughters are fine.
I can support my several daughters with my own income. My eldest daughter also found a job in a soy sauce factory. Now our family can still have some money left over. "
"Brother, this is already a good thing for you. My daughter didn't even escape and was taken notice of by the steward. Alas! If we really couldn't survive, how could my wife and I be here?"
