Han You hadn't seen Wang Hai for four days in a row. He was still thinking about it when he went to bed at night, which made Wu Mingyue and Zhongsun Wushuang very resentful. How could they have been busy scratching their heads and asking Wang Hai if he had rested? of.
Just because he didn't see it doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention. Han You asked Zhu Shang every day because he was afraid that the unruly and crazy women from the Zhao family would bully Wang Hai. After all, Brother Hai was an honest boy.
After hearing that Wang Hai had cut off all his hair, Han You was so angry that his nose twisted, and he almost got kicked out by Zhao Feiyu in a fit of excitement.
Beimen Yuyong sighed. He had long been accustomed to Han You's temperament, but he still couldn't understand it. Han You was like an old hen protecting its chicks. Whenever there was any trouble, sensibility would always defeat reason and do whatever he wanted. Things that are worth the loss.
At a regular meeting at the beginning of each month, Han You called all his friends except Wang Haihai to make sure everything was normal. The other thing was to make some winter arrangements. There were still ten days of rest on the first day of the month in two months.
As a result, when Han You said this, he was opposed by most people.
Han You said that wages would continue as usual, which received unanimous support from most people.
"That's about it. Make sure the work is arranged before the holidays at the end of the year. Let's start the football league after the year. Build the stadium first and call it the Four Seasons Pavilion. Brother Kun, do you need to stop work?"
Ji Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shao Yin, the winter will not delay the start of the construction, but it will be a little slower."
"Don't force it, it's getting colder."
"It's not forced, it's not forced, it's just that the manpower is a little lacking."
"I'll think of ways to manpower it. It's too troublesome and unsafe to leave early and come back late to make a carriage. Dachuan'er will go to Majiazhuang later to borrow a place to live."
Lu Baichuan yawned: "Why do you want me to go? Why don't you ask others to go?"
"It's not safe to ride a horse in the snow. I'm afraid of knocking someone down."
Jiang Zhui looked at Han You and said, "Is he the one who praises his riding skills?"
"It means he resists falling."
"okay."
Lu Baichuan nodded, thinking this reason was impeccable.
Seeing Lu Baichuan's dead look, Han You said angrily: "Let's adjust the shifts. Don't have trouble like last time and you can't even find anyone. The bonuses should also keep up. We are entrepreneurs, not capitalists. If we perform well, we will be given bonuses. If we perform poorly or slack off, we will have bonuses deducted."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, chatting in various directions, trying their best.
"Hey, now we have learned to cover each other and flatter each other."
Han You rolled his eyes and said, "Now what if I ask you to pick out the person who performs the worst and whom you hate the most? Can you name it?"
A group of people couldn't laugh or cry. They knew it was a joke. Han You paid great attention to internal unity.
Han You said seriously: "Choose now. Pick the person you hate the most and explain why you all hate Lu Baichuan."
Lu Baichuan: "???"
Just as everyone was about to joke a few words, there was a knock on the door, and Yuyong from the north gate called out, "Come in."
A villager who was in charge of greeting guests at the entrance opened the door and said, "Shao Yin, a guard has come to the palace. He said that His Majesty ordered you to enter the palace. Enter the palace quickly."
Beimen Yuyong's expression changed slightly: "Enter the palace quickly, enter the palace quickly, or enter the palace?"
"Enter the palace quickly, what I heard is absolutely true, that is, enter the palace quickly."
"Something happened." Beimen Yuyong looked at Han You: "Something serious happened."
Han You stood up quickly, Jiang Zhui put the fox fur coat on him, and Lu Baichuan quickly ran out to lead the horse.
"Is there anything unusual happening in Beijing recently?"
Han You looked at everyone while getting dressed: "Perhaps something happened in various states and capitals."
Everyone looked at each other, having never heard of it.
Now that the name of Four Seasons Villa has been announced, it attracts not only tourists from Beijing, but also merchants from all walks of life, aristocratic families who have come to Beijing, young masters, etc. Yuqi and others are also responsible for collecting some information.
Beimen Yuyong said uncertainly: "Could it be that refugees came to Beijing?"
"The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are responsible for matters that have nothing to do with the Yidao Guards."
"Won't."
Pei Qi opened his mouth and said, "It would take at least a thousand refugees to come to the capital to alert the palace. Even if the palace was alerted, why would Your Majesty summon Shaoyin? Even if the refugees come to the capital, the four gates of the east, south, west and north are It’s impossible for the official channel not to receive some news, it should be something else.”
"The meeting is over, everyone goes about their duties. I'm entering the palace."
Han You tightened his clothes and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
…………
The capital, the palace.
In Jingzhi Hall, Boss Zhou was pacing back and forth, and there was a big map on the ground.
Wen Wu stood at the door of the hall, looking anxiously.
"Are you here yet?"
Lao Ba roared violently, and Wenwu shook his head: "I haven't come back to His Majesty yet."
Boss Zhou continued to pace, with a look of anxiety on his face.
Seeing that half an hour had passed, Wen Wu finally called out and ran down the steps without waiting for Boss Zhou to respond.
Boss Zhou hurriedly walked out of Jingzhi Hall. In the distance, there was a Jingwei cavalryman with a flag on his back. He knelt on the ground, saluted at the door of Jingzhi Hall, and whispered something to Wenwu.
After Wen Wu listened for a while, he turned back to look at Boss Zhou, Lao Ba's eyes jumped.
The cavalryman reported the situation, stood up and hurried out of the palace, while civil and military officials also trotted back.
"Your Majesty, we have accurate information. The mountains on both sides of the southwest side of Changyuan have all collapsed. The food sent by the Ministry of Revenue... I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't be delivered. Less than twenty people came back. The head of the Ministry of Revenue and the civil servants It is said that after the collapse of the mountain, the official road was also blocked. If you want to enter or leave, you need to go through the dense forest on the north side to Huai County. It is more than 400 miles and it is still a mountain road. If it is delayed any longer..."
Before he finished speaking, Boss Zhou hurried back to the hall and looked at the map on the ground.
Changyuan, nominally a lower county, is actually a "mining county". The mines that were discovered first gave rise to Changyuan County.
More than seventy years ago, those who went there were all prisoners who had been imprisoned. Over time, there were residents. After several amnesties, there were no prisoners in Changyuan anymore. They were all innocent people, with more than 800 households and 4,000 people. The remaining people.
Because it is a mining place and there is no farmland around it, we rely on the Ministry of Household Affairs to send food supplies once a month, which is not too far, more than 100 and less than 200 miles away.
It was originally surrounded by mountains on three sides, but now that the road has completely collapsed, Changyuan County is equivalent to being isolated from the world. If the imperial court does not send people to open the mountain, more than 3,000 people will starve to death and have no way out. They will definitely go up the mountain. Going up the mountain and taking a detour of more than 400 miles, by the time we get back to the official road, we may not be able to save even one out of ten.
"How long until Han You arrives!"
"We have already sent someone to notify you."
"Have you taken the military talisman?"
"got it."
"Those are my people, a total of 4,127 of them. They are trapped in a desperate situation, with little food and drink. This feeling, the feeling of waiting to die, I..."
Boss Zhou clenched his fists: "I know this feeling best. I am so hungry that I feel dizzy and want to choose someone to eat. I, Zhou Ke, will not allow such a miserable situation to happen under my rule!"
