"Now that our proprietor is back......" Chen Huaili felt very panicked inexplicably, he felt that the news had been very wrong recently.

"What are you afraid of?" Chang Jinbao said with a smile: "Brother Da Tianhan still has to call me a fifth uncle, he knows greatly, ask my second brother to say a few words about me, what else." ”

"Then I'm miserable."

"It's really that far......," Chang Jinbao said, "I'll talk to my second brother, just come to our Chang's store." ”

Chang Jinbao said again: "Our second brother plans to open another branch in Taiyuan, anyway, you and Yusheng's groceries and ironware are very cheap, and this money is easy to make." ”

Chen Huaili said: "Our proprietor is very powerful......

"No matter how powerful it is, my second brother is also his own uncle." Chang Jinbao said: "Our Chang family is also deep-rooted, and we don't just rely on Yusheng to make money, the matter between the two of us is between us, as long as you and I don't admit it, who can know that you will get an extra piece of silver from me?" ”

Chen Huaili said: "I also know that Yang Huaiyu's hands and feet are not clean, and he can't find it on the books, in fact, he has already made a fortune, and there is also the Tiger Killing Castle, I just have a little to do with the Chang family, and I am already very well-behaved." ”

His words can be regarded as comforting himself, Chang Jinbao only smiled when he heard it, and his face showed contempt.

……

A middle-aged man wearing a hat stepped down from the car, and Li Mingda at the door of the store hurriedly greeted him and helped him personally.

Fan Yongdou took off his hat, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

Fan Yongdou's face is very white, his teeth are neat, the Fan family has been rich for several generations, and Fan Yongdou's face has an unconcealable aura of generations of wealth.

His eyes were also full of confidence, and he covered some of the tired colors on his face.

In the recent period, Fan Yongdou feels that he has mastered a lot of things, and he is also secretly arranging, using a lot of financial resources to dredge relationships in various places and recruit people.

After entering the house, Fan Yongdou pointed to the chair and said to Li Mingda: "Sit down and say." ”

Li Mingda thanked and sat down with his ass crooked.

Fan Yongdou said: "What is Zhang Han's movement? ”

"His caravan has been harassed by bandits several times." Li Mingda gloated and said: "Zhang Han went to Lijiazhuang to look at the address, and heard that Lai Shen was going to set up a patrol inspection department there, and Zhang Han wanted to be this official and personally train archers to fight bandits." ”

"This kid has gone down the wrong path." Fan Yongdou raised his eyebrows and said, "The inspector is only a nine-grade official, and he has a lot of taste when he is a good person?" We businessmen are not looking for a handle to give people a handle, what does he think. ”

Li Mingda smiled: "I think I'm getting carried away." Proprietor, should we make some trouble for him? ”

Fan Yongdou said: "Let's focus on business, it's best for him to be an official, let's be happy to see it." ”

Fan Yongdou said again: "What happened to the shopkeeper under Yusheng recently?" ”

As soon as Zhang Han came back, a few timid people said that they were going to stop. In the past few days, I saw Zhang Hanquan making up those messy things in Zhuangzi, and they all came back again. ”

"Those who have taken the silver and tasted the sweetness, how can it be so easy to stop?" Fan Yongdou's expression was quite calm, and the joy in his eyes was difficult to hide.

There are too many branches of Heyusheng, Zhang Han has been out for too long, and there is a lack of strong supervision, even if Yang Qiu and his group are there, the main thing is to prevent the dart master from being bribed or disrupted, staring at the officialdom and bandits and horse thieves, and also staring at the movements of some big businesses, the Fan family has no obvious action for a while, Yang Qiu can't find anything, Fan Yongdou used the method of eating kickbacks at low prices to unknowingly corrode and win over a lot of people in the Yusheng branch, and later many people in the Yusheng branch do not need to be co-opted, they have begun to take the initiative, They even put their hands on somewhere else.

"Young people are young people in the end......" Fan Yongdou began to look at the account books of the branch, the Fan family is also a big business, it is inevitable that there will be some shopkeepers who reach out, so Fan Yongdou does not dare to slack off, often patrol to check the accounts, and the shopkeepers in various places are very strict, almost not giving them the opportunity to make decisions and manage cash transactions, Fan Yongdou thinks that Zhang Han gives the shopkeeper too much power, the supervision is too loose, and a proprietor has disappeared for more than half a year, I really don't know what to say.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-July.

Zhang Han walked through groups of laboring people, all carrying burdens on the road and in the work area, and some people walking on the ridges.

In front of him was a vast area of barracks, and the whole complex was already beginning to take shape.

Zhang Han did not spare the cost, he came back for more than a month, and more than 100,000 silver entered the treasury, he has money, there is no need to save money on this kind of thing.

There are more than 900 barracks, all of which are tiled houses facing south from the north, and the blue bricks of a water are up to the top, and many people have never seen so many rows of tiled houses in their middle age, and many old people dozens of miles away are trembling and coming to see the excitement...... Even if it is Tianchengwei or Ulju State City, no one has ever seen nearly a thousand tiled houses made of blue bricks neatly lined up in one place.

For many people, coming to Lijiazhuang to see the barracks is already looking at the scenery, and they enjoy it.

Zhang Han stood on the edge of the school field, hundreds of people behind him pulled stone mills to level the school field, the soil was turned over, the traces of those wild grass and ripe fields were slowly flattened, and then disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace to be seen.

Zhou Fengji stood beside Zhang Han, Li Dongxue held the drawings in his hand, on which was the planning map of the entire camp, which was made by Wang Anping and his group of apprentices, the master who was good at drawing, and the carpenters and bricklayers discussed the pattern, the project was constructed according to the pattern, Li Dongxue was responsible for supervising the work, looking at the huge building complex rising from the ground in front of him, he was also relieved at this time.

Zhang Han glanced at the shantytowns to the southeast, where the crowd was even denser, and the blackened crowd could barely see the edge.

At the beginning, the construction site still spent money to hire people, in addition to the technical work also needed manpower, and then I don't know how the rumors spread, the displaced people everywhere began to desperately rush to this side, the displaced people are very miserable, most of them are hard to find some strength to work, the man can't find a job of the woman can not keep the chastity, but the states and counties and the Acropolis are crowded with people, even if it is sold, it is not necessarily looking for a buyer, as soon as it spreads, there are large construction sites here to use workers, and even Daizhou there are people running over.

Now it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 displaced people crowded nearby, and there are also four or five hundred young and strong men, and there is still an endless stream of people coming every day, Zhang Han asked people to build shacks for these people to live in, and every day asked Qingzhuang to do some hard work, receive some cakes as payment, and set up dozens of pots, and boiled multigrain porridge every day for women, children, the old and weak to eat, so as to barely stabilize the situation.

Zhang Han still has a headache going down, the tide of displaced people has not stopped, he has to feed more people in the future, the surrounding health centers and local prefectures and counties have been alarmed, and even the governor of Taiyuan has sent people to check, after all, the gathering of large groups of displaced people is not a trivial matter, and all parties are very concerned.

Zhang Han didn't expect that he would cause such a thing all at once, but it was crooked for him, manpower is the most precious resource in this era, and he didn't want to give up easily.

Zhou Fengji rushed over from the Acropolis, his face was dusty, his face was not very good-looking, he just told Zhang Han, this time he went as far as Daizhou and Yuci and other places, and looked along the way, the output was reduced everywhere, and the grain harvest was generally about 30% less, and all parts of the country were affected.

The northern part of Shaanxi was more severely affected, and displaced people began to appear in groups, many of whom sold their sons and daughters.

In fact, this is the beginning of a long period of natural disasters from the Apocalypse to Chongzhen, the Ming court is trapped in Liao affairs and internal strife, and no one cares about the affairs of civil relief.

The seeds of the collapse of the Great Unification Dynasty of the last three hundred years have begun to sprout, and everyone is sitting on the crater, while the big men are ignorant.

Zhou Fengji didn't agree with what Zhang Han was doing now, he could ask the government to send troops to maintain the trade routes, he could buy grain in large quantities in Henan and Beizhi, how much he could solve by growing his own grain, and he had to spend money to train the army, and he had to be an official and be detained, which caused a lot of trouble, and he felt that the proprietor of these things was thinking about it.

In addition, Zhou Fengji knew that the shopkeepers of many branches had problems, and he planned to ask Zhang Han to patrol around to check the accounts and supervise carefully, but looking at the situation in front of him, needless to say, he knew that Zhang Han could not leave.

At this time, there are five or six people riding horses from the ridge side, the ridge is widened, it is convenient to push the cart, these people come on horseback and do not hinder, recently there are many people riding horses here, those farmers who do things raise their eyes to look, and bow their heads to do their own things.

Zhang Han glanced at it and walked over there.

It was Li Shenming who came over on horseback, his face was full of sweat on the hot day, and when he saw Zhang Han coming, he stopped his horse and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and there was a lot of floating ash on his face, and he wiped it a few times, and it became a big flower face.

Zhang Han laughed and asked someone to bring water to wash Li Shenming's face, and Li Shenming smiled at Zhang Han after washing: "Don't laugh, please set up the best table tonight for a treat." ”

"That's a trivial ......" Zhang Han said with a smile: "This place also eats game, if you want to eat a good banquet, you can't eat anything in Tiancheng Acropolis...... Is it the official photo down? ”

"Yes, even the official robe waist card seal letter, all of them are complete."

"It's fast."

Li Shenming rolled his eyes: "Your people are guarding the Beijing Division and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies all day long, and they keep throwing silver, can this not be happy?" ”

The efficiency of the Daming Yamen is miserable, but as Li Shenming said, as long as those little ghosts are fed with silver, they dare to carve a fake official seal, not to mention that Zhang Han's matter is serious.

This matter was handled by Wang Faxiang, and Zhang Han's impression of this person is getting better and better.

Li Shenming made a gesture, and an attaché raised the package wrapped in silk, Zhang Han took it and opened it, and a brand-new blue official robe was carried in his hand.

At this time, many people gathered around, and everyone looked at the official robe in Zhang Han's hand, and the expression in their eyes was complicated.
