Chapter 699 (1/2)
”Keep up, keep up, dally. What do you do?”
”Everybody work hard. There is a big town five miles ahead. You can stop and have a rest.”
With the scorching sun, a guard team of nearly 1000 people escorted the exquisite goods worth millions of taels and hundreds of accompanying shopkeepers to the northwest.
The journey was slow, and the team opened a few miles.
In order to ensure safety, Zhao San, the leader of the escort team, had to order people to ride horses and patrol around the team. Hurry up, guys. Hurry up.
There were not many days left before the two-month deadline set by Madame Zhao and Pei Meng.
The goods must be sent to Northwest China on time and completely before the deadline for smooth handover.
Zhao San rode his horse to the front and joined Qian Fu, Deng Cunli and Master Wu Wang.
”Mr. Qian and Mr. Deng, it's too hot to be tired. I'm afraid there will be an accident if we travel like this. ”
If there is an accident with the goods, it is not just a matter of money. But the whole strategy will be dragged down.
Peimeng persuades Lu Hou that he has begun to make a temporary truce with Xiliang to prepare for the later trade.
If they fall out of the chain here and have problems, they can only apologize for their death.
Qian Fu asked, ”what is general Zhao's suggestion?”
Zhao San had an idea, ”I don't leave today, I'll rest in the town ahead. Starting from tomorrow, the departure time is two hours ahead of schedule. I'm on my way in the morning and have a rest at noon. Only in this way can we ensure that the team can arrive in the northwest on time
”How far away are we from the northwest?”
”There are still three hundred miles left.” Zhao San said definitely.
Qian Fu exchanged a look with Deng Cunli, and then said, ”the next trip is entirely arranged by General Zhao, safety first. In addition, we will send people to the northwest and ask general Pei to send troops to pick us up. If we remember correctly, there is a long way ahead. It's not peaceful! ”
Deng Cunli took care of Gu Jiu's wool industry in his early years. He spent many years in Northwest China and knew the situation here very well.
”A hundred miles ahead, the terrain is steep and there are dense forests,” he said. There is a ring horse activity all year round. In the past, we had a good relationship with Xiangma leader, and we could spend money on disaster relief. It's a pity that the ringleader we know has been dead for two years. Today's ringleaders will not give us face. ”
Qian Fu looked ahead: ”the only way to the northwest is to be disturbed by loud horses, which is not conducive to the future plan. We can't always be afraid when we deliver goods to this section of the road. In order to ensure the safety of the goods, it is necessary to thoroughly clean up the road ahead. If it is necessary to kill, do not let go of any horse, man, woman, old or young. ”
Deng Cunli said: ”the local government is incompetent. Don't expect them to suppress the bandits. The northwest army belongs to the border army and is only responsible for external operations. Without a warrant from the governor's office in the northwest, we should not interfere in local banditry suppression and defense. ”
Qian Fu laughed, ”Duke Deng reminded us. Master hopeless, please write a letter in writing, which will be sent by General Zhao to Marquis Lu. The content is that we met a group of mice on the road, which is very disgusting.
Ask him to lend us some experienced rats killing men and horses, and we will return them in time after we have cleaned up the road
Mouse, of course, means the sound of horses along the way.
The people who kill rats are not big soldiers, but those who are specialized in spying on intelligence. They are not allowed to take in the night when they are fighting with one enemy and ten enemies.
”Amitabha
Hopelessly, he called the Buddha's name, got off the horse, got on the carriage, and wrote letters.
After the letter was written, Zhao San also counted the people.
A team of twenty men, one man and two riders, with letters and missions and seals, went to the northwest army camp.
The caravan moved on.
Qian Fu asked Zhao San, ”how long does it take to clean up all those mice on the mountain?”
Zhao San said: ”if we can borrow the night of the northwest army, we can clean up the mountain for three days at most. If it's just ordinary soldiers, it's hard to say the time. The terrain of the mountain is complex, and the horses just need to hide in the mountain to escape the pursuit. ”
Qian Fu looked at the mountain in the distance, ”I really want to set a fire and burn the whole mountain.”
Deng Cunli laughed, ”that's not good. At the foot of the mountain there are many villages and a few fairs. ”
Qian Fu laughed, ”casually, Duke Deng doesn't have to take it seriously.”
Deng Cunli asked with a smile, ”is it time to solve the small tail in the back?”
”Wait another two days to see if anyone else can join the little tail,” Qian said. Two days later, it will be hard for General Zhao to lead people to solve the tail behind. Remember to cut down the roots, leaving no future trouble. Never be a woman.
Don't care about women, children, old people. If you do this job, you should have the consciousness of being beheaded. We don't want General Zhao to let go any evil because he is soft hearted for a moment. ”
Zhao San Baoquan way: ”Qian Gonggong rest assured, I will never be a woman's benevolence.”
”That's great!”
……
Beijing.Qingmei and Zhao Sancheng were married for three years and held two for three years.
A big fat boy, a girl, put together a good word.
At the beginning, Zhao San volunteered to go to Xiliang, but Qingmei was against it.
On the way to Xiliang, I don't know how many dangers there are.
In case
Green plum dare not think deeply.
But when she saw Zhao San's desire and passion in her eyes, she knew she couldn't stop it.
We can stop this time, but we can't stop the next time.
Even if she didn't give up, Qingmei agreed with Zhao San to go to Xiliang.
She prepared the luggage for Zhao San in silence and sent him out of the capital.
As soon as she left, she was sad for several days and came to her senses.
Until Xinmin County women's intermediate school sent her a letter of appointment.
”Would you like me to be a gentleman? I, I don't have that ability. No, I can't. I can't teach people. Don't mistake people. ”
Gu Jiu laughed and pinched her cheek. ”It's not to ask you to teach the four books and five classics. What are you afraid of?”
”I can't do anything. What can I teach?”
”I taught you by myself. You can teach more. You can teach embroidery, accounting, housekeeper, and grooming girls
Green plum was stunned, ”madam, I dare to ask, what is this women's school learning?”
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, ”in a simple way, women's junior school mainly studies literacy and arithmetic, with a three-year schooling system. When they graduate, every student should be able to write and calculate.
