Chapter 58: Appeasement
The caravan to Bingzhou came back, and it was the chief Gongqiao who led the caravan in Bingzhou, Gongqiao did not come back from the Western Regions, but was cultivated by the old Wang shopkeeper, and Liu Han also saw him for the first time. When Gongqiao came back, he was taken to the villa, and on the way, Qian Ming told him the news that Bi Liang had died, and Gongqiao was greatly surprised.
Seeing Liu Han, Gongqiao felt uneasy, not knowing what this master wanted to ask.
But Liu Han was very gentle, just asked about the situation on the road, as well as the situation in Bingzhou, he answered one by one, and then, Liu Han asked about the situation at home, Gongqiao's home is in Guzang, he told Liu Han that he hadn't been home for half a year, and he didn't know how the family was now.
"When the matter in the store is over, you can go back and move your family here, or transfer back to Guzang and go to Lao Wang's shopkeeper, you choose by yourself, is that good?"
But the more gentle Liu Han was, the more uneasy Gongqiao's heart became, and he mustered up the courage to ask Bi Liang what happened?
"Bi Liang's business is Bi Liang's business, it has nothing to do with you, don't ask, when you should know, I will naturally tell you, alas, this Bi Liang is a pity. ”
Gongqiao was confused, but Liu Han's last sentence reassured him, at least he didn't have anything to do, he was a slave bought by the old king's shopkeeper, and he belonged to the trading company, if Liu Han wanted to blame him, it would be a disaster, and the master would punish the slave, so it was not casual.
"Settle down guys, tell everyone to just do your own thing, don't ask around, and don't spread rumors. Liu Han's last sentence was very harsh, and Gongqiao solemnly agreed.
That night, Liu Han feasted all the guys of the Chang'an store in the drunken maple building, the caravan guys who had just come back were very worried, this trip was very smooth, everyone was very excited, but they didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home, Bi Liang died, the second shopkeeper and a large number of familiar guys disappeared, and the personnel of the whole store changed greatly.
Looking at the silent guys in the room, Liu Han got up and picked up his wine glass: "Everyone, the Chang'an store has today, it is the credit of Bi Liangbi's shopkeeper and the big guy, I, Liu Han, thank the big guy!"
Saying that, Liu Han drank all the wine in the cup, and showed the bottom of the cup to everyone, the guys were still silent, and Gongqiao stood up: "Everyone, the shopkeeper Bi was killed, the government is already tracking down the murderer, and the owner personally went to the Chang'an store to arrange work, which is a trust in our guys, don't have any worries, the owner trusts the big guy." ”
"Brothers," Qian Ming also picked up his glass and stood up: "Chang'an store is still Chang'an store, some people are gone, but our big guy is still there, Chang'an store is still there, Hanhai Trading Company is still there, the caravan is still there, let's go to the state and the desert, our Chang'an store will be more prosperous in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Qian Ming paused and added loudly: "The owner has decided that the guys who come back this time will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver! In addition, there is a half-month vacation!"
The hotel was quiet for a while, and suddenly it was like a large swarm of wasps, buzzing and buzzing, and the guys whispered in private, getting louder and louder, and their expressions became more and more excited.
"Thank you, master!"
Finally, a guy stood up, raised his wine glass and saluted Liu Han, and then the guys all stood up and saluted Liu Han, Liu Han nodded frequently with a smile, but his eyes were cold, no matter how good Bi Liang was to them, but after all, they were people from a trading company, and most of them still had deeds of sale in his hands, and they were still his people.
The hall finally became lively, Liu Han, accompanied by Qian Ming and Gongqiao, toasted the guys from table to table, and the guys trembled, this is an unprecedented thing, how can there be a master toasting the slave, which makes them a little flustered, and many don't even know that half of the wine is spilled.
"Brothers, I know that many people's deeds of sale are in the store, and I, Liu Han, promise that from today onwards, anyone who has worked in the store for five years will return the deed of sale, and do not redeem the silver, and then those who are willing to stay are still working in the store, and those who are unwilling to stay, I will give severance pay!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly thundered, the guys didn't have any worries, thank you sincerely, Liu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what identity, the Chang'an store will operate normally, and it depends on these people, they are at ease, and the Chang'an store will be stable.
Lao Huang didn't attend tonight's banquet, in his opinion, this was not a big move at all, but Liu Han insisted, after all, he was a highly educated person, and he couldn't completely become a slave to the extent that he was like a mustard, besides, the combination of grace and power was the way to control his subordinates, even if they were a group of slaves.
After this night, the caravan's guys quieted down, and the next day when they heard the news of the caravan's return, local customers came to the door one after another, Liu Han didn't care about them, and Qian Ming was in charge of handling it, and he began to investigate the caravan guys.
This caravan is very simple, it is the earliest caravan in Chang'andian, the origin of the guys is very clear, most of them have more than three years of experience, only two arrived more than half a year ago, and Gongqiao can also tell the origin.
"It seems that Bi Liang has not yet attacked the caravan. Liu Han was thinking like this, and a caravan man asked to see him, and when he entered the door, he handed in the resignation letter, and the handwriting on the book was very familiar, obviously the handwriting of the second shopkeeper.
Liu Han didn't say anything, gave him five taels of silver, sent him away, and when he turned around, Gongqiao was already dumbfounded, and his eyebrows were full of puzzlement.
"There are some things that are not easy to tell you now, Bi Liang is not guaranteed to be late, and you should be cautious in the future. Liu Han sighed lightly, this Fu Sangongzi is ruthless enough, the layout is so tight, he didn't even let go of the caravan: "Go back and tell the guys, in extraordinary times, stay calm, don't go out if you have nothing to do." ”
Gongqiao had a lot of doubts in his heart, but Liu Han didn't say it, and the guys in the store didn't dare to talk about it, and Liu Han clearly told him not to ask, even if the doubts were big, he didn't dare to inquire anymore.
In the next few days, Liu Han was still wandering in Chang'an City, Lao Huang went out of the city to sit in the villa, Brother Hu's group of children arrived at the villa, after spending the strange period, these children wandered for too long, their temperament was already wild, and they gave birth to a lot of things in the villa.
Lao Huang set eighteen disciplines and corresponding punishments when he arrived at the villa, and after cleaning up a few little children, this group of children became honest, and Lao Huang didn't care what the original names of these children were, they were all renamed again, and they still took Liu as their surname.
Liu Han didn't say anything after learning about it, just jokingly told Lao Huang not to take it seriously, to Liu Han's surprise, Tianna actually liked the little rabbit, and after telling Liu Han, the little rabbit was transferred to the backyard house.
Liu Han's plan was quickly promoted, Liu Shan bought fifty slaves, and recruited thirty strong guys from the homeless, these people were all concentrated in the villa, Liu Han went to take a look, Liu Shan's vision is not bad, although these people are yellow and thin, it can be seen that they are hungry, as long as there is food, conditioning will be fine for a few months, so he is relieved to hand over to Liu Shan, and he is responsible for training.
