The old man glanced at her and said, "I told you to take a break but you refused to listen. Now you know what's wrong with you. As the master, why are you trying to snatch work from them? You are one less person, right?"
Zhou Guo said: "So many people are working, I can't just stand there and watch, besides, I am stronger and have better endurance than them, I can do the work of three people, so they can carry fewer bags."
The task this time was heavy, and she followed suit, so everyone was more motivated.
"You still have good endurance? Do you think you are an ox or a horse?" The old man sliced a few pieces of mutton, put them in a bowl, and handed it to her, "Eat some first."
Zhou Guo was really hungry, so she picked up the bowl and started eating. It had been a long time since she had worked so hard. In the past half month, she worked half a day every day and used the other half to deal with other things.
I'm really tired after being so busy.
Fortunately, I’m done.
She looked at everyone, all of whom were in high spirits, drinking and playing finger-guessing games. Although it was hard work, they could earn two months' wages in half a month, and there were so many delicious foods, so no one complained.
After receiving the letters from Hu Zi and Wu Jiang, she had an idea in her mind.
He also wrote a letter and handed it to the messenger, asking him to take the letter back.
She didn't know if detaining someone for so long would do anything bad, but she thought that there must be someone delivering letters to Zhang Lian. If she detained him, Zhang Lian would definitely not be detained, so he would definitely have gone back long ago.
By the time the military camp far away at the front line received the letter, ten days had passed.
The general opened the letter with great interest, the smile on his lips froze, he turned the letter over and over, and then burst into laughter.
The people below were curious and craned their necks to read, "What's written on it?"
The general handed the letter to Zhou Dacang, "Come and take a look."
Zhou Dacang took the letter and looked at it, his mouth twitched. He saw only two words written on the huge letter: Coming.
Signed: Zhou Guo.
The others leaned their heads over to look, and after looking at the two large words on the paper, they paused and also laughed.
Zhou Dacang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and apologized to the general with a serious face, "General, please forgive me, my little niece doesn't know anything..."
The general waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "What crime are we accusing? If there is any crime to be charged, it should be us. After all, it is the result of years of hard work. We just removed one word from it, and they took it out without saying anything."
He sighed, "I am so ashamed. I never thought that one day I would need the private parts of a young lady during a war. If I tell anyone about this, I will be too embarrassed to face the consequences!"
Zhou Dacang felt ashamed, but he couldn't say that. He said, "General, you are too kind. I am ashamed. My niece's ambition has always been to end famine in the world and let everyone have enough to eat. She knows that you are wise and brave, and she hopes that you will one day clean up the world and give the people a peaceful world. She often says that food is for filling the stomach. If these things are piled up in the warehouse and become moldy and rotten, then she loses the original purpose of growing food."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the tent fell silent.
……
The two groups met in Huaiyang.
Zhou Guo and Zhang Lian confirmed the account book and counted the grain bags. Everything was ready and the two groups began to change positions.
Lord Chengding and Lord Huaiyang personally served as grain transport officers.
The two men bowed to them and led the huge grain transport team south.
Zhou Guo watched the grain transport team go away, thought of the empty caves, and sighed.
Zhang Lian asked, "Why are you sighing, Master Zhou?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "No, I am happy. Is your Excellency unhappy?"
Zhang Lian laughed and said, "I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be happy? I'm very happy."
If the general could really conquer the world, he should be considered a veteran and meritorious official, right?
It will be better to be an official in Beijing than here.
Zhou Guo said to Zhang Lian, "Sir, I have something important to do, so I can't see you off. Please take care of yourself and have a safe journey."
Zhang Lian said, "I know. You go and do your thing. I still have to go to Huaiyang and Cheng Ding. It's better for us to part ways here."
Zhou Guo took his people and left, and a group of people followed him.
These people were drawn from various farms.
She sent these people back one by one.
The money has been prepared on the farm, waiting to be used to pay them their wages.
Zhou Guo and others only went about their own business after they received their wages.
Now that the original territory of the King of Chu has been conquered, she has to make plans.
It just so happened that Wu Jiang was now able to be withdrawn from Cangshan Village, and Quanzi and Dapang also had to be withdrawn from the farm, and a few more from the grain shop. This withdrawal would take away half of the most capable people in her hands.
Zhou Guo called these people to Yunzhou for a meeting.
No one knows what to do here.
I asked Wu Jiang and Hu Zi, but they didn't know either.
"It must be something big. This is the first time in all these years that the master has called so many of us together so solemnly. It's not a festival, and I don't know what it's for."
Zhou Guo hadn't even entered the room when he saw them whispering and asking each other questions. He stepped in and said, "Don't ask. I'll tell you what to do."
Everyone was shocked and sat down quickly.
Zhou Guo sat down at the first seat, glanced around, and said with a smile: "Everyone has grown up."
After several years of experience, this group of young people have shed their youthfulness and become much more mature.
"Master, you have grown up too." Everyone laughed. After all, Zhou Guo was much younger than them.
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, "Yes, we have all grown up."
He paused and said, "I called you here this time because I have something important for you to do."
The news that the King of Chu's fiefdom had been taken away was spread.
The hall suddenly burst into laughter. "The King of Chu's fiefdom is great and rich, much richer than the North!"
"Master, what are we going to do?"
Zhou Guo said: "I want you to go to the fiefdom to buy a farm and build Feizhuang. In addition, you have to buy land, as big as possible. Although the fiefdom is the size of a mansion, it is rich. Mountain goods shops, grain shops, and escort agencies all need shops and houses, so we have to buy more shops. By then, our grain, mountain goods, crabs, fish, fruits, ducks, and other things will all have separate shops."
It is difficult to buy things in Yunzhou shops now, and there are no separate shops selling things like fruit crabs.
I can only set up a stall.
Everyone was excited when they heard this. This was much more interesting than staying in the shop all day. Asking them to buy a shop and run it from scratch was something many of them had never done before.
Zhou Guo said, "You have been guarding the shop for so many years and have gained some experience. Now you can let go of the shop. You can take care of the fiefdom. It has just been conquered and there is a lot of work to be done. Fortunately, the price is not high. We still have some money in our hands, so as to avoid being unable to afford it when there are more people and wealth."
