Zheng Ruoying was overjoyed when she saw that she had made thirty guan. She gave each of the five girls a guan of money as a reward on the spot. At the beginning of spring, she called the girls together. She had thought that she had to sell herself to one person and the money she sold could not be worth the price of a cow. , now the first order that is opened is paid out, and everyone’s face lights up with joy, and they are thanked profusely.
She wanted to go to Liang Chuan to show off, but Liang Chuan poured cold water on her, saying that most of the business was for his sake. Look at what she could do. One day, someone would come to her door after smelling the aroma of wine in the alley. That’s when you’re truly on the right track.
Zheng Ruoying curled her lips. Although her enthusiasm was ruthlessly extinguished by Liang Chuan, she still left happily. She thought about what was not in place today and went back to improve it. After receiving so many gifts, By the way, there is also the golden pig and the cornucopia made of gold. At the beginning of spring, I was still staring at it nervously for fear of losing it under my nose. I just showed it today, but I can't immediately mess with the eldest lady.
As soon as the banquet was over, Liang Chuan also followed suit. This case was broken for everyone, and it was also the only one for him, Liang Chuan. It would be inconvenient for him, the second shopkeeper, to come again in the future. What if he saw something that he couldn't see? You should see it, but the sign is broken.
A group of intelligence agents under Yelu Zhongguang were dispatched in all directions, and in the past few days, all kinds of bizarre intelligence had been continuously collected into Liang Chuan's hands. Liang Chuan went to the school grounds to train a group of prisoners during the day, and asked Yelv Chongguang to report to his store at night.
According to Yelu Zhongguang, the Meishan team is a group of farmers who usually practice dragon boating after going to the fields. They are all strong and strong farm men, and they have a lot of courage to fight for the tens of thousands of dollars.
The Wu family's team is all good at water, and they are usually unruly. The Wu family provides delicious food and drinks, but in training, the overall coordination and cooperation are poor, but the individual level is quite high.
The most difficult thing to inquire about is the group of Kunlun black slaves from the Pu family. They don’t speak the same language and make weird noises like monkeys. They are really in great shape and can’t do anything except eat. They are blind when they go out on the street. Restaurants and restaurants won’t go anywhere.
When Liang Chuan heard this, he sarcastically said: "These people just know how to eat, just like animals, otherwise we would expect them to take the top prize."
Yelu Zhongguang continued to gather together, and the handicap of several underground black markets changed slightly. The Wu family had the lowest odds and the best hope of winning the championship, but the Pu family did not fall behind and insisted on it. Both teams were relatively optimistic. The Sun family didn't train much, and the team members didn't do well, so everyone didn't think highly of them. As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp. Everyone in the official team of Weiyuan Tower surprisingly unanimously felt that they were just here to play for fun. They just came to play for a while and it was considered a business deal. The odds were very stable and still the highest.
Liang Chuan wanted this effect, and he told Yelu to keep an eye on these odds with satisfaction. If there was a big fluctuation, he must report it in time. He should continue to collect all kinds of intelligence. He should keep a low profile and stay put, and don't create conflicts in advance and expose his identity.
Si Fangxing was in a good mood these days and gave the prisoners some food and wine to eat. They were trained more diligently than his own soldiers. When he saw Liang Chuan, he complained to Liang Chuan: If he could choose him, he would really like to have his own soldiers. These soldiers were thrown into the Weiyuan Tower Prison to serve in the cell, and then made these prisoners work for themselves. People are never satisfied, and they don’t know what is good until they lose it.
The prisoners worked hard. When they were released from prison, they were all as lean and lean as the starving ghosts pulled out of hell. After a few days of recuperation, their bodies were all back. If not to say that the ancients had strong bodies, they were all tired when they rolled up their sleeves. The lines and lumpy flesh are just eye-catching to look at. Fortunately, Liang Chuan's own is no worse than others, otherwise he would have wanted to go into the school grounds and run circles with rocks.
A pit in the dock built by Liang was filled with water. The boat was still fixed with docks, but people could train to use the oars after getting on the boat. The boat would not move in the dock, but it could be rowed.
Liang Chuan learned how to beat the drum for a few days, and after putting in some effort, his momentum was already revealed when he beat it. He could move his arms quickly or slowly, and even learned the tricks of war drums on the battlefield. His strength and endurance were better than ordinary people. He is good at it. Others' arms will be sore and numb as soon as they play hard. He will sweat a little after playing for a long time, but his hands are not sore and his arms are not numb. He can also give advice while talking and laughing.
There was a place for the drum on the bow of the new type of dragon boat. Liang Chuan had someone move the drum to the drum pit on the bow, and he stood on the bow and played the drum. Only 18 people are allowed on board, and others are not prohibited from boarding. Liang Chuan inquired about other teams and all other teams did not have drummers because they did not realize the importance of this drummer to the team members. Without the drummer, it would be impossible to let other people on board, because one more person on the boat would weigh nearly two hundred kilograms more. Although the weight is not heavy, the team members can clearly feel that paddling is very difficult, so one person may become the key to victory or defeat.
Everyone got on the dragon boat. Liang Chuan stood on the bow of the boat and said energetically: "You have been practicing for so many days. I can see that you are very hardworking. There are less than ten days left before the competition. There will be one more in the next few days." Work hard and win the game. I will never break the promise I made to you."
Everyone looked at Liang Chuan with eyes full of hope. Liang Chuan promised them wine and meat, which they thought was a lie, but he actually fulfilled them one by one. He was a little tired these days, but he ate well and was beaten and scolded occasionally. It made the big-headed soldiers laugh. They all thought it was quite interesting, because they had not been recognized as human beings for a long time, and this sense of existence aroused their desire for life again. Most of them were charged with unfounded charges and were imprisoned by the previous magistrate. As the trial has been delayed, everyone is looking forward to this opportunity to perform well and get out of the sea of misery as soon as possible.
The boatmen had been busy for several days, looking forward to seeing how their dragon boat launches were going. When they saw the team members boarding the boat, even the drums were loaded onto the boat, they all dropped what they were doing and gathered around.
Liang Chuan held two drumsticks in his hand and raised them high. He scanned the people on the boat and said slowly with everyone's expectant eyes: "This is the first time we practice paddling on the boat. This boat Master Liang and the others put a lot of effort into building it, and I will kill anyone who dares to be lazy!"
The drumsticks fell heavily, with a bang, and then a second sound with a slightly longer interval. This was to imitate the beginning of the dragon boat. The team members rowed to the beat of the drums, and the extremely short oars crossed the water. When everyone exerted their strength, they made a low sound from their chests. It was uniform and intertwined with the drums, which was particularly exciting. Liang Chuan's slow drumbeat beat for a while, and gradually sped up the rhythm. From the original dong-dong-dong, it gradually became dong-dong-dong, and to the final dong-dong-dong, the frequency was extremely rapid. Even the boatmen were infected by the passionate drumming and started roaring. Some raised their arms and shouted loudly, while others roared along with the drums. Everyone's emotions were raised to the highest point.
The team members tried their best to row the dragon boat in the dock, but the dragon boat did not move. The water in the dock seemed to flow when the oars were scooped up, and the water in the dock became extremely turbid. A tong drum has been played for nearly three sticks of incense. Generally, it only takes one stick of incense to last until the end of the game. In order to train the endurance of the players, Liang Chuan extended the time to three times.
When the surge of water in the dock finally stopped, everyone sat on the boat panting as if exhausted. Liang Chuan was extremely satisfied with the effect. It was obvious that this team, plus the dragon boat, had practiced hard and All the careful planning paid off, and this time the chance of winning was even higher. Although they have not gone to Jiangshang for actual combat, many of these people were originally from Jiangshang families. As long as they get used to it in the last two or three days, there should be no problem. In the last few days, there was no fear that this boat would be copied by others, because they would not be able to build such an identical boat in two or three days.
Si Fang Xing happily patted Liang Chuan on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I have learned a lot this time. A group of rabble-rousers can turn into phoenixes if you train them. If these people are allowed to lead the team, they will become the masters of tigers and wolves sooner or later." , I’m afraid that all the eighteen states of Yanyun will be recovered!”
Liang Chuan said: "Lao Fang, hurry up and order a set of clothes for these people. By then, our clothes will be unified, and they can be embroidered with the logo of our Weiyuan Building."
Si Fangxing didn't expect this, but he agreed very much in his heart. If everyone wore rags to row a dragon boat, would it still make people laugh and lose the prestige of Weiyuan Tower?
"How many sets do you want to make?"
"Make forty sets, and forty masks!"
Si Fangxing was stunned for a moment, forty sets? Aren't there only twenty people? Liang Chuan explained: "What if you prisoners are recognized by others? I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to explain, Mr. Zhao. Of course, you have to hide it from others. When the game is over, let your soldiers come out in their clothes to receive the reward. Who will Knowing who the people in your barracks are? This is called concealing the truth."
Si Fangxing was really worried about this matter. He was thinking about letting these prisoners tattoo some words on their faces in advance to fool Mr. Zhao. Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan had already thought of an escape route for him. This method is wonderful. Who will do it during the competition? I didn’t know who was who, and I didn’t even have the chance to check my identity on the boat. What a clever idea!
This training lasted until midnight and ended. Although Liang Chuan was not as tired as he had just trained a few days ago, he didn't want to stay with him for so long. He refused Si Fangxing's elegant drinking party early and went back to the store to rest.
The store was a little strange today. It was almost midnight and the lights were still bright. There was also chatter and laughter coming from the store. Liang Chuan was sitting on the carriage sent by Sifang Xing and noticed something was wrong. When he came down, he saw that He Baozheng was here. His car was parked in front of the store, and a carriage was parked next to it.
When Liang Chuan entered the store, he saw that everyone was sitting in the lobby of the store. It was crowded with people. When everyone saw that Liang Chuan was back, they came closer and said, "My boss, guess who is here!"
Liang Chuan looked in the middle of the hall and saw the artist he had longed for sitting on a chair, looking at him with a smile.
