Chapter 1216 Everyone is here
Zhou Guo said: "You can't read, but others can. Why can't you ask for help? You're not deaf. If your eyes can't read, can't your ears hear?"
Xiong Laosan touched his ears and found that his ears were indeed working and he was not deaf.
A few days later, the two left.
Zhou Guo sent them out of the city and poured them a bowl of farewell wine before they left.
The head of Chu family said, "This is the first time that the young master has been so grand."
Xiong Lao San raised his head and drank it in one gulp, shouting, "Good wine!"
Zhou Guo said: "You two are going there to do something important. I will leave the escort agencies and Feizhuang shops in the two places to you."
Both of them nodded, "Don't worry."
They may not be able to create something from nothing, but can't they copy others?
After seeing the two off, more than ten days passed before the group from the north arrived.
Tiger, big fat, two fat...
They all got off their horses and saluted Zhou Guo excitedly, "Master!"
Zhou Guo said happily, "Come on, come on, the food has been prepared in the house. You must have traveled a long way, let's go in and eat first."
Someone came to report early in the morning that it would be almost time, so she asked Chef Zhang and the kitchen staff to prepare several tables of delicious food. These people were her backbone.
Erpang was the most excited. He had spent the longest time with Zhou Guo. Before, Zhou Guo took him wherever he went. As a result, he had been left in the north for nearly a year. In fact, compared to working, he preferred staying with Zhou Guo.
He stepped forward and pushed Xiaoshu aside, impatiently asking, "Master, if you call me here, can I continue to stay with you?"
Zhou Guo looked at him. It had been nearly a year since they last met. Erpang had changed a lot. He had lost his youthfulness and looked more like an adult.
He smiled and said, "You are doing well in the North. I heard you are very powerful. Why do you still want to stay with me?"
Er Pang said, "I am relying on your face, otherwise who would believe me? If I come this time, will I not leave?"
Zhou Guo didn't answer, but just said: "Eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."
Hu Zi occupied Dashu's side and told Zhou Guo all the major events that had happened in the north that year. Although he had already mentioned them all in the letter, what could be said in the letter was limited and could not be complete.
When the news from the front line was leaked, it was finally discovered that the source was the Wang family, who were secretly colluding with the imperial court, which almost led to a catastrophe in the North. The Xu family father and son almost died on the front line. Even so, many people were affected. More than 100,000 people died on the front line because of them, and the North was in great turmoil.
Once the facts were verified, all members of the Wang family, young and old, were thrown into prison, their property was confiscated, the men were sent into exile, and the women were enslaved.
The Wang family, which had enjoyed decades of glory in the North, has since withdrawn from the ranks of the North's aristocratic families.
As news of the Xu family's successive victories on the front line came, the Zhou family became even more popular in the north. Li was so busy every day that she had very few opportunities to eat at home in the past few months, and she was busy attending various banquets every day.
Hu Zi said: "The North is now as solid as chicken soup. No one dares to offend us at this critical moment. When everyone sees us, they want to hide their heads. Everything is going smoothly. With the eldest son and Quanzi here, there will be no problem."
Zhou Guo said: "That's good, now that the North is stable, other places will need us. We should take this opportunity to get our stuff out!
When the world is stable, we will also gain a firm foothold. Then it will be much easier to do things. Wujiang is in the south, and you are going to the north. I think it will be a short time before the day comes.”
Hu Zi nodded, "I understand."
The two looked at each other, and Zhou Guo smiled knowingly. As expected, her two stewards were really easy to deal with. She didn't have to say anything, they just knew what she was going to do and how to do it.
It would be great if there were a few more people like this.
Thousands of bodyguards came with them, but they all fell behind. More than half of them were from the Xu family.
After finishing the meal, everyone was in no rush to rest, but talked about the various events that had happened in the North over the past year.
Hu Zi said, "These people are not bad. They are much more disciplined than those who were just recruited. They are assigned to the manor in the escort agency. They are all very down-to-earth. Lai Zitou will lead them to the back."
As the chief escort leader, he couldn't just ignore these escorts and go up alone to enjoy the good life.
After Hu Zi finished speaking, it was the turn of Fatty and Erpang. All the managers, big and small, spoke about what was said in the letter or not.
Although they had been traveling for such a long time, no one seemed tired and they became more energetic as they talked.
It was late at night. Zhou Guo listened to the sound of the night watchman outside and said, "It's late. Let's go to sleep. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
A lot of people stood up.
In the next few days, Zhou Guo was discussing matters every day. When the matters in the north were almost finished, Lai Zi Tou finally arrived with his bodyguards.
Zhou Guo still took people to pick it up.
As soon as they arrived, the bald-headed man laughed when he saw Zhou Guo hadn't dismounted yet, "Boss, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I see you are becoming more and more energetic."
The bald-headed man dismounted neatly and said, "Of course. I heard that the escort agency has recruited a few new leaders. I am the chief escort of the Haoguo Escort Agency. If the escort agency becomes better and bigger, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
Now everyone is here. After discussing the matter for half a month, they decided on the people in charge of each place and then went their separate ways.
Before they left, Zhou Guo prepared several jars of good wine for them and said goodbye to them one by one, "You will be the heads of various places when you leave. The future of our escort agency and Feizhuang shop depends on you. Today, I will give you a farewell drink. Do a good job."
Everyone picked up their big bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Go to various places with high spirits.
They are still young, and what awaits them ahead is the unknown and opportunities. After waiting for so many years, the day has finally come when they can show their talents.
After seeing them off, Zhou Guo was about to leave.
The autumn harvest has already started in some places, and she has to go and take a look.
Those are the people who stayed with her.
This year's harvest in the south cannot be said to be a bumper one, but it is not a bad one either.
There are families who bought fertilizers and planted new seeds. After paying taxes and repaying the fertilizer money, they have enough porridge for the whole family to drink for most of the year. For them, this is a good harvest and a good life.
There will always be a slight difference in the harvest from the same size of land between those who bought fertilizer and those who didn't.
Don't underestimate this little bit. Just this little bit is enough to keep a family from starving to death.
This little bit of food is enough to make a family happy for a long time. Knowing that Zhou Guo and her entourage are the owners of Feizhuang, they keep saying good things to her, hoping that she can keep selling the fertilizer at such a low price in the future so that they can continue to sell it.
In this way, they might be able to save some surplus food year after year, and their lives would get better and better.
