Chapter 222

"These people should not be water bandits!" Zhang Xingzhi said to ye rukong.

"How can you see?" the night was as empty as air.

"How can water bandits work so hard? And how can they be so bad?"

All the people who fell into the water, without exception, were struggling to swim to the shore in an attempt to survive, but except one guy who seemed to be able to touch the water and had the hope of swimming back to the shore, others quickly sank into the river!

"Don't worry about him! If you act like a bandit, you deserve to die!"

The idea of night as empty is much simpler and clearer! Zhang Xingzhi smiled. Indeed, he was purely caused by an occupational disease!

In addition to the old couple and a young child, four or five wounded survived on board!

"What should I do now?"

You can't leave someone alone after saving them, can you? When the two men were discussing, Yan Xinxin, who came out of the cabin after visiting the old couple, said faintly, "go back to Qinzhou and give it to Zhang Zhou!"

"Go back?"

"Let the wounded die on the ship?"

"But you..."

"I'm not in a hurry to go back a few days earlier! It's important to save people!"

Two people and Yan Xinxin are not familiar. Yan Xinxin's mood is an iceberg, which is really difficult to approach! But Yan Xinxin's idea is not wrong!

"All right! Return to the dock!"

……

The dead man with better water property failed to reach the shore as he wished! All the dead soldiers responsible for looting today are wiped out!

Jin Laoyou was unmoved. He watched the Kyushu water transport ship turn and leave. After disappearing in sight at a very fast speed, he turned and left!

……

Most of the dead in the stockade are listless and lazy snuggle in every corner to save energy. Except for those who have tasks, the food consumption of others will be halved!

Gold old oil station is outside the gate and calls for the deputy in charge.

"What can I do for you, sect leader?"

"I'm leaving for a while! You're responsible for everything here! You can weigh and deal with everything yourself!"

"Guild leader, do you want to?"

Jin Laoyou looked at the steward, who was busy lowering his head.

"My subordinates are talkative, but I'm afraid the food in the stockade won't last for a few days!"

"I said, it's up to you to weigh and deal with it! What should you do? Think for yourself!"

"I see! Please don't worry. I'll lead the brothers and wait for the leader to come back!"

Jin Laoyou nodded and turned to go. He said faintly, "try not to rob on the water, especially the ships with Jiujiang logo."

After that, he floated away.

If you don't go to the water, you may live longer. This is Jin Laoyou's last kind advice to them!

——————

The annual meeting is very lively, but it is also highly confidential! There were many new faces at the meeting, such as Tang Si Niang and Wei Wuyi, Wu caier and Zhen Laojiu, Lin Lin and huyanjun, fudas and Huo Jike, as well as Yang Jiu, a shipbuilder, and so on! They all hold important positions in Kyushu, and even are independent figures. They are absolutely full of talents!

It took three days for the meeting to basically solve the problems that have arisen in the past year and to deploy the basic plans and objectives for the next year!

Because apart from the wharf, there are almost no flat places in Qinzhou. The place ten miles away from QinZhou wharf is finally determined as the first choice for building a new city without dispute. The scale of the new city is required to meet the living needs of 20000 people! Although with the help of the Shan clan, the powerful help of explosives, and the sophisticated construction equipment made by Kyushu commerce, it will take three months to see the prototype! It will take half a year to scale up! In order to speed up construction, 4000 people will be transferred from the hands of trees alone, and there will also be a share of 2000 in Nanping Prefecture, not counting the transfer of other places and the craftsmen responsible for industrial production in the future.

The reconstruction of Qinzhou wharf has also been identified as a key project to be completed first

In short, the top priority of Kyushu business next year is to build Qinzhou! Zhang Zhou will also stay in the area of Qin and Su in the name of "managing the Qin River" and personally take charge of the construction!

……

There are many affairs, and almost everyone has a lot of tasks. After the meeting, Guan Yuniang was the first to take people away. How dare others delay and take a boat one after another!

Tang Si Niang also left with him. Hezhou needs to make big moves. She will take over from Lao Huang. Naturally, she will undertake no less tasks! Only Wei Wuyi, who was stationed in Suzhou, stayed.

It's winter. It's cold and cold. Fortunately, Qinzhou has high mountains and dense forests, which more or less blocks the abuse of some cold winds. In addition, Qinzhou has no shortage of trees and is convenient to burn charcoal; The construction of various support facilities is also timely and stable; The clothes, grain, tents and other materials transported from Suzhou are also enough, so the problem of winter is not big.

Zhang Zhou moved his residence to a place not far from the wharf and found Changping, who was temporarily responsible for maintaining the order of the wharf.

After Changping reported some situations on the wharf, he said with a guilty conscience, "Lord Hou, in a few days, all the villagers who are willing to accept the recruitment will arrive here! The total number may not exceed 2000!"

The number of people along the river held by Qunying Association before was nearly 10000, but the current results made him very worried about Zhang Zhouhui's dissatisfaction.

Zhang Zhou was still very satisfied with Changping's recent performance. He nodded and said, "enough. I know you've done your best in this matter. I'm already very satisfied with this achievement!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhou didn't mean to play tricks on him, Changping finally relieved himself and heard Zhang Zhou continue: "But I also put the ugly words in front of them. I don't like these people. Although I won't investigate them with the previous things, it doesn't mean that the previous things can be completely ended. They must have the consciousness of committing crimes and meritorious deeds! Children must enter school and receive education intensively. The old and weak will give them a full and warm life. As for others, if they are honest and obedient , there may not be a bright future in the future, but if there are unregulated ones, I will redouble my punishment, and even punish you for your poor teaching and lax discipline! Do you understand? "

Zhang Zhou saw his face nervous and nodded again and again. He smiled and said, "you will be punished if you have done anything, and you will be rewarded if you have done something meritorious. I'll see your efforts during this period. When chaotang appoints me, I'll find a way to get you an official position!"

Changping knelt down and almost cried.

"The Marquis is so kind and kind that his subordinates will repay him! Go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"I might as well tell you that I know your every move like the back of my hand. I never believe in compliments, but only your actual actions!"

"Don't worry, my subordinates will be the same outside and inside. Don't let me down!"

"I hope so. There's one more thing you should know. I value the woman chenyanzi very much. You can't give up all the time, okay?"

Changping even promised.

"Prosperity has always been in contact with Kyoto. Do you know who it is?"

"Lord Hou, the contact person was introduced to him by Qiu Xiaobai, and this kind of thing was operated by him alone, even deliberately wary of me, so his subordinates can't understand the inside story at all! But..."

"I don't like to hesitate!"

"My subordinates don't mean to hesitate, but what I think is just speculation, there is no conclusive evidence, so I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Say!"

"Through long-term observation, I feel that the person contacted with him is not a minister of the central government, as if he is just a businessman with great energy!"

"Why do you think so?"

"I secretly read a letter from the other party, which said that they would sell stolen goods for Qunying. There were not many other contents, but it could be seen between the lines that there was not much inside information. It was more a kind of businessman's snobbery! But this man really had great energy. Prosperity once murdered a Qinzhou official. It was this man who helped operate, and there was no trace in the court!"

"Not much information?"

"Lord Hou, don't laugh. His subordinates were sent to other states by his father and read books for several years. Later, they returned to Qinzhou because of some things!"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be a cultural man!"

……

Shortly after Changping left, Teng Shu came! After kneeling down to Zhang Zhou, he seemed hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Zhou smiled.

"Teng Shu, although you and I don't have much contact, after all, we have fought together. If you have something to say, just say it! Don't have any scruples!"

"Lord Hou, I, I'm going to go back to Dezhou! I'm here to ask you to leave! I won't go back to Qinzhou again!"

Zhang Zhou knows more or less what Teng Shu means. The Qinzhou ministries have nominally subordinated themselves. He should be afraid of misunderstanding and regard him as one of the Qinzhou ministries!

"You are different from those people in Qinzhou. You are not my subordinate either before or in the future. Whatever you want, follow your own heart. I will never embarrass you. I sincerely hope you can run the escort agency well. Maybe there are many opportunities for cooperation between you and me in the future!"

Teng Shu shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "thank you for your great righteousness first. I'll tell you the truth! I'm not going to continue the escort agency. I plan to sell the escort agency when I go back and find a place to live in seclusion. I won't ask about the Jianghu anymore!"

During this trip to Qinzhou, Teng Shu paid almost all the old money. Less than ten people survived. Not to mention that the personnel have been difficult to support the operation. Only the pension and compensation for the families of the dead can make him lose his family and have nothing!

"Oh, that's a pity! Well, I know something about Dezhou escort agency. It's still good. Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields. Since you don't want to stay, sell it to me!"

"This..." Teng Shu was a little embarrassed. He did business with officials. How can he not suffer losses?

"Don't worry, I don't mean to force buying and selling. Don't worry so much. Although I am an official and a businessman, I still won't forget the blood flowing together. How much money do you want to sell? I will never bargain! You don't need to thank me for my generosity. I don't just want to help you, but also want to develop myself..."

……

Buying Dezhou escort agency is of great significance. After all, Dezhou has a good business foundation in Germany and Suzhou!

"Are you going to let me be an escort?"

"You can stand the wind and the sun, and I can't bear it!"

Zhang Zhou held Wei Wuyi's hand and continued: "We have some development in Suzhou, but the expansion space is limited. If we take over Wanqi escort agency, our caravan will smoothly enter Germany and Suzhou and multiply our influence there. Such an opportunity is a pie in the sky. How can we miss it? Besides, according to the idea of Su banxing business corridor, if we take down the business transportation of Suzhou and Germany, Jinghe And the land sandwiched by the Qinjiang River are connected into one, and they are all in control! "

Wei Wuyi ignored his frivolity when touching his hand and said softly, "you used to say that you were afraid of developing too fast and provoking the scruples of chaotang. Now you see the benefits, how can you forget everything?"

Zhang Zhou happily played with every finger of Wei Wuyi and said with a smile: "I'm afraid! Why not? But we can't stand still because we're afraid. Large scale should be available, just as the state of Dazhu said," officials don't enter the DPRK, hands don't hold soldiers ", which is the bottom line of my self-protection in officialdom. Business is just Lianhua Lake, which is the yardstick of my business. Within this range, I will enrich my strength as much as possible! In addition, I will take the crown prince and the Duke The Lord pulled them in. They should be fine! "

"I haven't straightened out the previous affairs. Now there is another escort agency. I'm afraid I can't manage it well!" Wei Wuyi whispered.

Zhang Zhou didn't seem to hear it, but gently put her hand on her face, closed her eyes and enjoyed it, silent!

"Zhang Zhou, did you hear that? What if something goes wrong?" Wei Wuyi didn't mean to be coquettish, but really had pressure!

Zhang Zhou opened his eyes, looked at her with a smile and said, "what are you afraid of? You are my woman. I will carry anything for you and do it boldly!"

"I'm back to Suzhou. What do you do?"

"Why don't you stay with me tonight and study what to do together?"

So... Wei Wuyi hurried back to Suzhou with tengshu. She didn't want to, but Zhang Zhou was injured. She was afraid she couldn't help it!

Leave Zhang Zhou alone at night, alone melancholy!

……

Everything started from scratch. Zhang Zhou was tossed about by all kinds of trivial things. His injury recovered very well. What he had to deal with was his own business. There was no reason to be lazy!

After studying the expectation of Qinzhou water conservancy project, one of the leaders of Caihe Shan's people was sitting on the bed with his back to the door of the big tent, staring at a drawing and Pondering over the details, night rukong and Zhang Xingzhi came in!

Looking at the chaotic scene in the tent, the night was empty. First he smiled and said, "I guess the ladies must have left!"

"Yes, as long as one is left, it won't become like a pig's nest!"

After Zhang Zhou heard that it was the two of them. They didn't look back because they were hurt and uncomfortable in the back and avoided stretching pain. In the face of each other's teasing, they didn't show weakness and said, "only in this way can I be masculine! Besides, I can do everything well. What else can I do with my wife?"

Zhang Xingzhi was a little lonely. If the night was empty, he laughed and said, "why? It's not a man to clean up the housework?"

"Hey, that's not true. I'm hurt and my wife is not here. That's why it's like this. No outsiders see it anyway. It doesn't matter if it's messy!"

"At least he's also a marquis, so he doesn't pay attention to the appearance scene, and he's not afraid of losing face when it comes out!" Zhang Xingzhi scolded with a laugh.

"Who dares to laugh at me? If anyone dares to go out and gossip, I'll deal with him!"

"Me!" a cold voice!
