Chapter 423: The Tiger's Mouth and the Wolf's Den
Su Ren got up early in the morning, ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and took Hawking and others out of the Changshi Mansion. There is no long history in the Huiji Scripture, and even the Changshi Mansion is borrowed. Everyone knows that Su Ren won't stay here for long, and there is no need to do many things.
In recent years, Taishou Yan Zhu has actually exercised the right to long history, although Su Renren came, he did not fight for power with him, Yan Zhu naturally couldn't ask for it, and there was no reason to find it himself. Su Ren also ended up in a leisurely situation, and the two remained silent tacitly.
Su Yiyi stepped out of the courtyard door and saw the main father standing outside the door with two dark circles under his eyes. I came for a long time, my body was wet with dew, and I shivered involuntarily when the wind blew: "I came early!" Very good! ”
The master father hurriedly bowed: "My subordinates pay a visit to Changshi." ”
Su Ren smiled: "The title changed quite quickly, you are the master bookkeeper in Taishou, so continue to be the master bookkeeper here." ”
"No!" The master father lowered his head, and the expression on his face did not change at all, not knowing whether he was happy or unhappy.
Su Ren looked left and right, and instructed Hawking: "Go find a horse for Mr. Master, the place we are going to today is quite far." ”
The large group of people and horses roared through the streets of Huiji, and the people who were walking hurriedly dodged, and some of the sluggish running shoes fell off, causing Su Ren to laugh on the horse. This is the life that people should live, the standard of conceiving behavior. In the future life, even if the local tyrants and turtles want to do this, they have to consider whether they will be cleaned up by Lao Tzu when they go back, and they don't have this concern at all in Dahan.
Su Ren's ears were a little feverish. It is said that this is someone cursing behind his back, and it is strange that no one scolds him just now in Huiji City. rushed out of the east gate in one breath, and fifty miles arrived in a blink of an eye. Shaping is the address of the new city selected by Su Ren, it is indeed sandy here, at a glance, there is hardly much green to see, and what catches your eye is an earthy yellow.
The wind whistled up the gravel, and the white horse hurriedly closed his eyes, a little frightened, and retreated again and again, and it took Su Ren a long time to stabilize it.
Hawking spit out the grit in his mouth: "What kind of broken place is this, this little wind can squint your eyes, can you live in people?" ”
Su Ren was prepared, and when he went out, he put a silk handkerchief around his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, what Mr. Master said is right, this place is indeed a good place to build a city, flat and neat, and the best thing is that it is not far from the sea, and the sea is in front of it, right?" ”
The master father hurriedly said: "Exactly! Ten miles ahead is the sea, and it is a bay, and it is ideal to build a dock. ”
Su Ren nodded: "Then our city will be built for ten miles, and you can reach the harbor as soon as you leave the city, so as not to use it in the future, let's go, go to the seaside and have a look." ”
Su Ren took the lead, and everyone hurriedly followed. Su Ren is a typical otaku, since he was a child, he has never even been to a distant city except for the place where he grew up and went to school. As for ***, I have only seen it on TV. Facing the real sea for the first time, Su Ren felt that this was heaven on earth, and boating on the sea was the courage that a man should have.
With a hint of saltiness in the sea breeze, Su Ren opened his arms and closed his eyes, trying to feel the breath of the sea. Standing on the cliff, there was a full stick of incense, and Su Ren did not leave. Hawking and the others' fear of *** made them dare not take a step forward, and looked at Su Ren's enjoyment from a distance, feeling inexplicable. Only the master father followed Su Ren's footsteps closely and never left.
"That's it, don't look for it, let Taishou recruit the people tomorrow, let's start work."
The master father was surprised: "Isn't it too impatient?" Building a city is not child's play, you need to look at the day and direction, this is a big deal, not to erect a city wall or a city? ”
"Don't be so troublesome, I built the city, I paid the money, I want to be as fast as I want, I don't have much time here, can't I do more things in an effective time?"
The master father smiled awkwardly: "If you are too guarded......"
"Don't worry about him, you are now my subordinate, I will do whatever I tell you to do, and it is also my responsibility to be wrong, you have to remember this, unless you want to go back now."
"No, no, no, my subordinates don't dare, my subordinates will do it!"
Su Ren nodded: "There is one more thing I want to explain to you clearly, we are not requisitioning people's husbands for unpaid labor, we have to pay wages, if they are willing to use labor money for food, it is better, craftsmen are different from others, they have to take one more share, and the matter of building a city will be handed over to you, you must remember these things." ”
The master father looked at Su Ren suspiciously: "Wouldn't it be ...... to do this?" There has never been such a precedent before. ”
"I've got it from me, go ahead and do it!"
"No!"
After hurriedly turning around in Shaping, the orientation and layout of the new city were roughly determined, and the group rushed back to Huiji. The master's father had his own things to deal with Su Ren's explanation, and Su Ren took people back to Changshi Mansion.
I was hungry after running all morning, but when I entered the door, I was startled by the situation in the yard. Li Danghu stood on the steps in front of the lobby, calming a group of people in the courtyard. Gongsun He stood aside and watched coldly, without the slightest intention of helping. The most infuriating thing is that Win Guangji and Thorn actually sat on the steps and played chess, deaf to what was happening in the yard.
"Mr. Su is back!" I don't know who shouted. The person who was still listening to Li Danghu just now immediately turned around and pounced on Su Ren.
A fat guy came to Su Ren in an authentic Shu dialect: "Mr. Su, you are back, we are all going to die in a hurry, and our goods are about to be saved." ”
"Don't worry, speak slowly, the sky can't fall!"
These people are all Shu businessmen who were fooled by Su Ren, and there was Cui Jiuming in the town a few days ago, and no one dared to come to Su Ren to make trouble. Since Cui Jiuming left, the Shudi businessman had lost his backbone, and when he encountered a little turmoil, he came to Su Ren in a hurry.
Fat merchant Jia took a breath: "This morning, I suddenly heard that the Huiji Taishou was going to confiscate our goods, and these goods were all sent according to Mr. Su's intentions. ”
"Heard? Have you all heard? ”
Many people nodded again and again: "It's not just that, some people say that they not only want to detain the goods, but also detain people, let us continue to transport the goods and mortgage, otherwise we won't be let go back to Shuzhong!" Mr. Su, let's not do this business, right? The southerners are cunning, they can't afford to provoke us, and they can't hide? ”
"Smack!" Su Ren slapped on several cases: "Who released the rumors that should really be killed!" He eased his tone for a while, and then said: "You don't have to care about this matter, I am here to assure you that this matter is pure nonsense, with me Su Ren here, I see who dares to touch the people of our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce." ”
As soon as these words came out, the businessmen who were still anxious just now eased down in an instant, and their faces also had smiles, and their bodies relaxed a lot. The fat businessman Jia pushed the people around him: "I just said that Mr. Su will not care about our life or death, you all have to ask clearly, are you satisfied?" ”
The merchant next to him glanced at the fat merchant and ignored him.
Some more pacification work was done, and then the merchants were sent out. Su Ren turned around and looked at a few people in the courtyard, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Ying Guangji.
Ying Guangji smiled: "Don't look at me, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”
"It's strange that it has nothing to do with you, you dare to say that you didn't put out these rumors? At least there is your shadow, you have to win over the Yue people to go by yourself, don't stumble on me, give you half a year, don't bother me to build the city. ”
"Really!"
"When did I Su Ren talk and didn't count? As long as you can take those Yue people away, I have no other words, after half a year, all Yue people will be mine, even if you want to take them away, there is no chance. ”
"It's a deal!"
"Humph! Villain! Su Ren glared at Ying Guangji: "Don't do this kind of small action in the future!" I wondered, do you have people everywhere in Ebonwood Cliff? And they all like to pit their own people? ”
Ying Guangji smiled and did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.
Thorn threw the chess pieces in his hand and sighed: "It's over!" The Yue people are going to be unlucky! ”
Su Ren suddenly remembered something, and said to Ying Guangji: "I tell you one thing, you'd better not go to Nanyue, their envoy has promised to move inward, don't break your anger there." ”
"Hahaha......" Ying Guangji laughed: "Don't use any provocative methods on me, it's useless!" I know better than you know about the affairs of Nanyue, although Zhao Xing, the king of Nanyue, has the intention of moving inward, how can a group of people led by Lu Jia, the minister of state, not think so, and with the support of Wuzhu, the king of Minyue, I don't think Zhao Xing will live long! Don't expect me to disturb the Yue people for you, since you promised half a year, you'd better not stretch your hand to Yue Di in the past half a year. ”
"Good homework! Okay, just half a year, let me see how you are doing? If you can see it too much, be a staff member for me. ”
Ying Guangji smiled, turned around and beckoned his men to pack up their things and go to Yuedi.
Su Ren had just sat down and hadn't even drunk a glass of water, when Huang Yue came. Today, I wore a suit of armor, majestic and elated. After entering the door, he bowed his head, and shouted that he was the last general, and before he led the troops, he proclaimed himself a captain, which made Su Ren cry and laugh.
Helping Huang Yue up, Su Ren smiled and said, "What does Huang Gongzi mean by this?" Didn't you say that you would wait until the city was being built before you would bring troops to protect it? Why is it here now? ”
Huang Yue said: "It was my father who asked me to come, my father said that Brother Su is excellent in learning, let me be closer to you, from today I will be a person from Changshi Mansion, there is my luggage outside the door, I will move in today, it is more convenient for Brother Su to do anything." ”
Su Ren was completely helpless. As soon as he asked for a master father from Yan Zhu, Huang Qi immediately sent his son undercover, and these two people really looked up to themselves and treated themselves as characters. Now that Huang Yue's matter as a guard has been decided, he can't drive people out, knowing that he is an undercover agent, he can only stay hard.
After eating, Su Ren felt very tired. I just wanted to do something, and I attracted the attention of so many people, which makes it difficult to do practical things? Lying on the couch, I couldn't sleep with my eyes open, and it seemed like a mistake for me to leave Chang'an today, and I felt like I had just come out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
