Chapter 1212 Compensation for You



Chapter 1212 Compensation for You

Wu Lazi took the box and weighed it gently. The box was heavy and rustled. She asked curiously, "What's inside?"

Zhou Guo said: "Everyone has contributed and received rewards. You, the boss, can't be left out. This is specially for you."

"Really? I have some too?" Wu Lazi was very happy. "But didn't you just give out gifts during the last festival? You give out money every festival throughout the year. Are you really that well-off?"

She is really worried.

Zhou Guo did not give rewards to just one or two people, but to thousands of people at a time. The amount for each person may not seem like much, but if you add it up, it's quite a lot.

Zhou Guo laughed, "You're actually worrying about this now. I remember when I first came here, you always asked when I would get paid and how much I would get, fearing that I wouldn't give you anything. Now you're actually worried about the money?"

"How can they be the same..." He swallowed the rest of the words as he opened the box.

A small box of pearls appeared before my eyes. Although the pearls in the box were of different sizes, they were all round and dazzling, making it impossible to take your eyes away.

Wu Lazi was shocked on the spot, she didn't expect Zhou Guo to hand her a box of pearls, each one was very round. A few of these would be amazing, and here, there was actually a box!

Zhou Guo looked at her stunned expression and smiled with satisfaction. She thought it was worth her searching for so long. Although it was not as good as the box given to her by the Yan family, it was still of good quality.

She said, "I took the box that the Yan family gave you before. This is to compensate you. Although the quality is not as good as the others, they are all pearls after all. You can use them to string beads or do something else. It's enough."

Wu Lazi was so moved that her eyes were red. She looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Young Master, you really are... How can you be so good? My mother has never been so good to me since I was a child. You are even better than my mother!"

Zhou Guo: "...I am happy if the boss is happy. It is worth my hard work. I just hope you can work hard in the future and continue to work hard for the development of our escort agency."

Wu Lazi hugged the box of pearls tightly in her arms and said seriously: "Sir, I will work like a slave for you in the future. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never do anything you don't allow me to do."

Her box of pearls was taken away but she could still be given back. There were not many masters like her in the world. She was so lucky to meet one.

Zhou Guo said: "Then you have to learn from me. After the autumn harvest, I will return to the north. Huguang will be handed over to you. Whoever does well will be promoted faster and get more. Master Wu, as a woman, I naturally have higher hopes for you."

Wu Lazi said, "I understand, sir. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhou Guo is so generous. She has only been working for a few months, but the money she has earned is enough to build not only one bright school for the children, but even three.

If she continues like this, she will really have a life of luxury in the future, live in a big house, and do whatever she wants. Oh, just thinking about such a life is really wonderful, it is really nice to work with the young master.

……

After dealing with these people, Zhou Guo's subsequent journey became much smoother. Even when he had to travel a long distance, there were no more large-scale assassinations like that.

Even if there are a few scoundrels, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Lazi said happily: "Master, you are right. It will be much quieter if we get rid of those people at once. No one will come out and say they want to kill us anymore."

Zhou Guo said: "Don't be happy too soon. We have forged a life-and-death feud with the big families here in the past six months. After all, the big families are big families. Even if they fall one day, the roots underground will not disappear for a while, and there are other branches derived from them. It is impossible to kill them all."

He warned: "Big Boss, you should be careful in your future actions. They know me, so they naturally know you. I am their biggest enemy, and you are not little either."

Wu Lazi's eyes darkened. "Won't this go on forever?"

Zhou Guo was silent, nodded, and sighed, "That's probably the case."

The hatred between life and death is not so easy to resolve. It passes on from generation to generation, and no one knows how many generations it will take for it to disappear.

Wu Lazi was stunned, then she remembered something and said, "What about General Xu, who seized the imperial court and killed countless people? What will happen to him in the future? Will anyone come to seek revenge on him?"

Zhou Guo looked at the distant mountains and said, "Maybe."

Whenever you do something big, there are always a few enemies behind you.

Wu Lazi stopped talking. Thinking about what Zhou Guo had done these days, in her opinion, and even in the opinion of most people, everything was a good thing. As for those who created hatred... it was inevitable anyway.

Since it is unavoidable, just let them be. If the young master is killed so easily by these people, he will not be the young master. He will definitely not dare to do such a big thing in the first place, and he will not dare to make such a deep hatred.

Zhou Guo was not afraid at all. She was using the name Xu Anbei, the fourth son of the Xu family, to gain revenge. If these people wanted to take revenge, they would go to the Xu family.

How could these people easily shake the big tree of the Xu family?

Therefore, we don’t worry about these people causing trouble for our family members, but if it happens too often, we will inevitably feel annoyed.

She took Wu Lazi to visit each county one by one. Generally speaking, the rainfall this year was much greater than last year, and the crops grew much better. The harvest was not a bumper one, but it was definitely enough for the family to eat.

Even if Huguang does not collect taxes this year, as long as the people have enough to eat, it will be a relief for them.

She became happier and happier as she walked, especially when she saw fertilizer shops blossoming all over Huguang. Some of them sold so much that at least 70% of the farmers in the entire county bought their fertilizers. If they could taste the sweetness, by this time next year, the sales should reach 90%.

The seeds also took root, which was much easier than promoting grain seeds in the north.

She chose a farm, prepared several plots of experimental land, and selected several old farmers on the farm to specialize in cultivating these plots.

The seeds she used were collected from various places by her in the past two years.

Early rice, late rice, glutinous rice, various wheat varieties, fruits and vegetables, all are food. If they can be grown well, they can be promoted across the country year after year.

If we can cultivate crops that are extremely drought-resistant, we won’t have to worry about low rainfall.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the Zhuangzi experimental site, the Zhuangzi is very large, and the surrounding area of ​​more than 100 hectares is all her land.

When Wu Lazi heard that the farm was over 100 hectares, she was really surprised. "How many people would it take to cultivate such a large area? Besides, don't you hate to see others enclosing land?"

Those with more land were all handled by her.

What a bold question! Dashu and the others were worried for her.
