When Zhang Shou said that he had already trained a group of typesetters at the Beijing Public School, Jiang Dashao, who was jointly asked by Zhang Chen and Zhu Er to talk about things, was dumbfounded, and Cao Wu still had a simple and amiable face, as if I didn't understand anything, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, who were originally looking at each other, continued to look at each other when they heard this.

And Guantao, who really didn't understand these words, was the group of Cangzhou martial arts people who didn't dare to rashly come over and follow Cao Wu to Beijing to find opportunities, even if they listened to it with their excellent ear power, most of them were still in a state of complete excitement.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Ercai shouted angrily at Zhang Chen: "It's all you, you and Lu Sanlang exchanged information all day long, and it was like the real thing, I really thought you had any good ideas, and after doing it for a long time, it was the same set that people had thought of earlier!" I'll just say, my future brother-in-law takes one step and looks at three steps, how can he underestimate those celebrities who are called! ”

Zhang Chen ignored Zhu Er's obvious words of slapping Zhang Shou's fart, and frowned: "It makes no sense that Lu Sanfat doesn't know?" He himself opened a bookstore, so the public school sacrificial wine is still his father, what is taught in it, he doesn't even know what? Uh......"

He suddenly closed his mouth, and saw that Zhang Shou really looked at the two of him with a smile, he knew that he and Lu Sanlang were in collusion inside and outside, so he had to confess unnaturally: "Lu Sanfat, that kid is really worried, Cheng Tian sent someone to me and Zhu Er to say something to prevent the slightest, we have no choice, we have to pull Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, this is not thinking that a few stinkers can stand up to Zhuge Liang......"

"Didn't we think that as disciples of Gemen, we would have to help our master carry forward, so we tried to come up with an idea?"

Hearing that Zhang Chen confessed Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and pulled out the banner of Gemen's disciples, Zhu Er immediately betrayed directly: "As a result, Zhang Lu came up with such an idea from the newspaper room...... He said, anyway, many people are copying the newspaper from the yamen through the newspaper room, etc., and we can directly annex a few small newspaper offices in Cangzhou, so that we can spread the news that is beneficial to us. ”

"Actually, you can do this in the capital, but there are too many bigwigs in the capital, so be cautious...... Ouch! Seeing Zhang Shou directly close the fan and knock it heavily on his head, Zhu Er suddenly realized that Zhang Shou thought he was too big. But the people who could be brought here by him and Zhang Chen were all candidates who were intended to be used as peripheral candidates, but after all, this topic had not been discussed with Zhang Shou before, so he could only shut up.

And after Zhang Shou stopped Zhu Er's words, he looked at Cao Wu, who had always tried to reduce his sense of existence, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, you are bringing a large number of people to Beijing this time...... Grow your business? Are you planning to open a martial arts gym or a dart game? ”

"Ahem, it's not easy to live in the capital, and we don't dare to hope to gain a firm foothold in the capital." Cao Wu smiled innocently again, then glanced at Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, and said with a dry smile, "But thanks to Zhang Gongzi and Zhu Ergongzi supporting us, we plan to take over something inconspicuous to do in the capital." For example, put up a garrison in this vegetable garden. ”

A group of you masters who transport all kinds of people and goods to the rich and noble all day long, specially went to the capital to arrange defenses for the vegetable gardens?

Are you sure it's not overkill?

Zhang Shou couldn't help crying and laughing, but seeing Cao Wu's expression full of words that I was serious, he finally understood why Guantao said excitedly before, no need to worry about those vegetable garden thieves in the future. The master cares for the home, so do you still have to worry? It's just that since Cao Wu didn't want to reveal his true intention immediately, of course he wouldn't be in a hurry, he just nodded with a smile.

"If you are willing to bend and do these little things, then you can do that. It's just that Guan Tao and his senior brothers are poor monks, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay your honorarium. ”

"Dr. Zhang introduced these good things overseas to the people in the capital, and it can be regarded as making a name for us Cangzhou, and now since there are Xiaoxiao coveting those seeds, of course we should contribute, how can we ask for money?" Cao Wu said impassionedly, but seeing that Zhang Chen and Zhu Er were all in disbelief, he laughed twice as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, of course, we are also selfish, since this vegetable garden is famous, we can also use its light to make a reputation, otherwise, even with us outsiders, we may not be able to let the people of the capital know our skills."

Zhang Shou knew that people like Cao Wu were unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, and for the reason that it sounded like that, he didn't think it might be the truth. Therefore, he said indifferently, "In that case, you two can just talk and do it yourself." However, it is rare for a fellow villager to come from Cangzhou, but Little Peanut happened not to come out with me, otherwise that kid should be happy. ”

"Young master, as long as you don't force him to recite poems, Little Peanut will definitely be happy."

Hearing Ah Liu's sudden faint words, Zhang Shou suddenly glared at him angrily - I just casually talked nonsense to divert the topic, what nonsense are you kid talking about? But at this moment, Ah Liu suddenly added: "And they are not old salted fish." ”

I haven't seen Ah Liu for a few days, Zhu Er and Zhang Chen all feel that this tone of speech is really worth missing, not to mention that it is rare to see Ah Liu and Zhang Shou raising the bar, and the two of them are naturally happy to watch the excitement on the wall.

Of course, Zhang Shou can understand the meaning of Ah Liu's words - with the awkward temperament of the little peanut, unless Lao Xianyu or Xian Yunhe comes, people will definitely not be happy when they see their fellow villagers. He could only scold angrily: "Didn't the old salted fish go back to contact the ship to Qiongzhou Mansion?" Once he sets sail for the sea, he will not be able to return for a year and a half. ”

"That's why Little Peanut is worried about him!"

Ah Liu didn't seem to know that he was talking with Zhang Shouji at this time, and he couldn't get along at all, and he didn't seem to see Zhang Shou's crying and laughing expression. He suddenly glanced at Cao Wu and said thoughtfully: "Little Peanut is afraid that it is not safe at sea...... In fact, I think that the dart business can't be done at sea, and the old salted fish can also bring bodyguards when they go to sea, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er and Zhang Chen, who were just watching the jokes of Zhang Shou and Ah Liu's master and servant, were stunned, and Cao Wu's fake smile suddenly froze on his face.

And among the other darts players who were separated by a few steps to show their intimacy, those people reacted greatly. One of the men with a tiger's back slapped his thigh directly, but when he wanted to speak, he was forced back by Cao Wuyi's eye knife.

Zhang Shou also didn't expect Ah Liu to suddenly mention this, and after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help but look at this kid with some surprise.

When Ah Liu was in the countryside, he was often silent to the point of being a little wooden, and after arriving in the capital, he seemed indifferent and solemn most of the time, and he was even less interested in reading, and he always positioned himself as a person who fought and killed. But now it seems that he really looks down on people, and this kid is still quite good at thinking.

However, when Zhang Shou, who thought so, inadvertently glanced at Cao Wu, he found that the person was obviously a little flustered, as if he was ...... The intention that he had been trying to hide was suddenly exposed. Realizing that Ah Liu was likely to have really unintentionally broken Cao Wu's sincerity, he immediately laughed with interest: "Could it be that Mr. Cao also has the ambition to live at sea?" ”

"How dare I be so self-conscious!" Cao Wu immediately snorted and said, "Hailu is not a family, those heroes who dominate one side on the land really get on the sea ship, how many people vomit." I just have this heart, I don't have the guts, I don't have this person! ”

Seeing that Cao Wu was trying his best to deny this intention, Zhang Shou's heart moved, and he immediately said with a smile: "That's why I said that Ah Liu's is really whimsical." After all, even if Mr. Cao is a good man who can play on land and sea, it is difficult for the people under you to say. Ah Liu, you kid has never been to the sea, so don't give people ideas! ”

Zhang Chen is better at observing words and emotions than Zhu Er, seeing that although Ah Liu was beaten by Zhang Shoushu, his face was still faint, but Cao Wu's expression changed drastically at that moment, and he naturally felt that there was something wrong with this guy who volunteered to be a bodyguard to escort them to Beijing.

I think he was the fuse of the first purge of the Tianjin Linhai camp - not even one of them, because he lifted the lid. At this time, although Zhang Chen didn't know what Cao Wu meant and what Zhang Shou meant, he didn't understand that he just had to follow Zhang Shou, so he immediately opened his mouth and packaged himself as if he was an expert proficient in maritime affairs.

"Ah Liu, you have a bad idea this time! There are rules on the sea, and the pirates are different from the swords and arrows on land, and how many land masters run to the sea and become a worm. ”

He vigorously searched for the past told him by the bitter lord back then, and then added other things he saw in books and hearsay, and deliberately exaggerated: "In a war at sea, no matter how high an individual's martial arts are, it is not as good as a big ship with thick ramming horns, and it is said that in the far west, since ancient times, pirates have driven such ships to plunder merchant ships and passenger ships, and then engage in broadside battles after crashing into them......"

"But this one will not work against our warships, because when you are about to collide, it will be within the range of artillery fire, and when the artillery fire is fired, your ship will sink and your people will die. Moreover, even in broadside combat, firearms such as firearms are much stronger than swords. Even bows and arrows are far less useful than firearms because they are easily damp at sea. ”

"However, there are no firearms on the merchant ships of our dynasty, so in the naval battle after encountering pirates, it is natural to suffer a lot, and many of them have hired a lot of masters who can fight with the ship, but in fact there is no use."

Zhang Chen didn't seem to think that it was a big deal for a future prince to swear, and after saying the last four words, he even smiled.

"A few years ago, the heinous case of the Tianjin Linhai camp was that the warships attacked the merchant ships going to sea, and the excuse was to inspect pirates. At that time, there was a boat that hired two well-known dart masters in Heluo, but the result was that when the officers and soldiers boarded the boat, they didn't dare to let one fart go, and when a dozen or so people blocked the doors and windows and fired the guns, they didn't even have a whole corpse. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders unsatisfactorily: "In short, the dart bureau has expanded its business to sea vessels, which has been done for a long time, but the result is very miserable. ”

"All in all, Cao Wu, you can weigh it yourself, don't rashly go to the sea to develop your career! There is a specialization in the art industry, even if you want to do it, you have to think of a perfect plan first, otherwise don't say I didn't remind you! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect that he just casually poured a basin of cold water, and Zhang Chen simply said something equivalent to throwing Cao Wu directly into the ice pool.

However, Cao Wu tried his best to maintain his face, and said that he was taught, and the big man who slapped his thigh just now, but didn't speak because of Cao Wu's eyes, finally couldn't help it this time, but nodded again and again with palpitations.

"Thanks to Zhang Gongzi, otherwise Brother Cao and we would probably be cheated by someone! Isn't the establishment of Cangzhou's port an eyebrow? The richest man in Suzhou, Hua's family, came to us privately, hoping that we would provide manpower to serve as bodyguards on the ship, and promised a good reward. ”

Cao Wu didn't expect his sworn brother to be so fast-talking, and at this time he was in a dilemma, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't be more embarrassed. just denied it, and now if he can't find a good excuse, the image of knowledge and interest he has always established in front of Zhu Er and Zhang Chen will be in vain, and even Jiang Dashao, who is the matchmaker between himself and the Hua family, will probably complain for a while that he didn't control his brother's mouth.

Therefore, he immediately made a decision, never mentioning Jiang Dashao's connection, and on the other hand, he sincerely blamed himself there.

"I really didn't mean to hide it, but although some of the brothers can swim, it is said that swimming in the sea and rivers are completely different things. If you really want to fall into the water, you can't even collect the body, so I've always been hesitant about this. ”

"But the pie smashed down from the sky is too big, I have no bottom in my heart, but I am greedy, thinking that no matter what, I will go to Beijing to see the fourth master of the Hua family in Suzhou. If the risk is too great to negotiate, then I will resign from this matter and see if there are other opportunities in the capital. Because I was afraid of losing face, I was embarrassed to tell the truth just now. ”

Only then did Zhang Shou know that it was a Suzhou businessman who had taken precautions and had even thought of the idea of hiring a dart board.

However, he had just deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of the bodyguards on the sea, but he didn't really want to prevent Cao Wu from bringing people into this industry, so when he saw Cao Wu bowing to him and Zhang Chen and Zhu Er again and again, he shook his hand.

"This kind of thing is originally talked about in private, and there is nothing wrong with you keeping quiet and abiding by business ethics."

As he spoke, he smiled, gently stroked his chin with two fingers, and then said lightly: "Just now I said that land masters can't get used to naval battles, which is indeed a fact, but since Mr. Cao, since you are willing to bring people to the capital to talk to Hua Siye, I want to believe that your manpower can also have combat effectiveness on the water, but I just didn't take into account the difficulties that Zhang Chen said just now." ”

"After all, a single group of bodyguards stationed on sea vessels to provide protection for people and goods is indeed of limited use in the vast sea."

He paused, as if thinking about such an interesting thing, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, you might as well stay in the capital for a while, like this vegetable garden, there are many places that need to be provided with security, in fact, there are a lot of them, maybe you will have a lot of money." ”
