Chapter 118 Caravan
Chapter 118 Caravan
With something in his arms, He Chun wrapped his clothes tightly, and walked quickly to the "shed area" in the west of the city. When passing Fengshou Road, he was always unconsciously attracted by the majestic stockade, and his footsteps involuntarily slowed down. slow.
By the way, Mr. Li called the village a "dormitory building".
The towering buildings on all sides are square and square like a city. Although there are no carved beams and painted buildings like the houses of big families, they are majestic and magnificent like mountains.
He Chun knew clearly that it took three months and [-] days to build this group of buildings, because although he was not the mason of this building, he also contributed to the building by adding bricks and tiles - he was a brick kiln worker.
Helping Mr. Li to lure the mountain dwellers and refugees who could be found on the mountain down the mountain, and to help resettle the mountain dwellers, He Chun did a very hard job. Aozi also let him pull down many people.
Lord Li appreciated this proactive work spirit very much. He not only offset the board that he owed due to stealing the grain on the basis of his head, but also gave him a small shack with fifty catties of grain outside, and returned it Touching the top gave me a blessing.
In this way, He Chun, holding the precious food that can survive, has a new home of his own in Diqiu.
Although there is a foothold in Diqiu, how can poor people dare to do it?
When all the mountain people and refugees who can go down the mountain come down the mountain, He Chun's job will be over.
He had no land and could not grow food in Diqiu, so he wondered where to find a job. Now Diqiu is like a big construction site, building things everywhere, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, even if he is illiterate and not very good. Mountain people who can speak the dialect of Beiqiang can also quickly find a laborer.
The first job He Chun did in the brick kiln factory was to transport mud——transport the mud from the ditch digging site to the brick kiln. He was willing to work hard. The "chicken bus" made two more trips, and soon the manager was promoted to learn how to make mud bricks.
Making bricks is hard work, mud, mud, shape, bricks, which one is not made by sweating eight petals?
Even so hard, he still goes to night school every night to learn the awkward simplified numbers and simplified characters. It is a rare thing for Mr. Li to touch the top. Precious reward? !
Soon, he learned to record simple "experimental data" with the kiln steward, and often sent bricks to various construction sites to see if there were any deficiencies in the bricks produced in the kiln and how to adjust the formula.
Since then, he has been looking at the group of dormitory buildings day by day, watching them rise up bit by bit, and the more he looks at them, the more he likes them, but it's a pity that he doesn't have his share in this building.
Only those who came to Diqiu with the adults and jointly contributed to the construction of Diqiu, who have a Diqiu household book and rank in the forefront of work points, are eligible to be allocated and drawn "dormitory".
He arrived in Diqiu too late, and no matter how hard he worked, he didn't earn as many work points as the "old people". He could only wait until the future—the adults said that this building is a temporary residence, and more good buildings will be built in the future. Work hard, everyone has a chance to live in it.
He Chun sighed, looking at the happy old people around the dormitory building, he knew that these must be those who were eligible for house allocation. I have a little spare time to visit my new home from time to time.
Walking to the end of the long road in a hurry, the ground is no longer the precious and flat concrete road, but a dirt road made of rammed earth and crushed stones. There are densely packed shacks on the side of the road, and occasionally people rush in and out. Still holding a steamed bun in his mouth, he trotted on his feet.
He Chun couldn't help smiling knowingly when he saw it, Diqiu's work was extremely tight everywhere, and he often saw people who had no time to eat and had to eat steamed buns on the road.
He found an old shack by familiar means, stood at the door and shouted: "Uncle Ge, I'm Dachun, and I'm sending you the booklet!"
"Dachun! Come in, come in!"
The broken door of the hut is made of branches, covered with a layer of yellow mud, which can barely keep out the wind and rain. Half of the hut is dug into the ground, although it is dark, it can keep warm. Semi-underground shack.
These huts were originally dug by Mr. Li when his convoy first came to Diqiu with the people, and now batches of temporary wooden huts are slowly being built. poor people live.
Such a dilapidated shack is naturally not locked, and there is no need to lock it. Firstly, it is not very easy to steal, and secondly, who would dare to steal it?Don't be afraid of the whip of the city management master Hei!
Ge Liwo was on the grass bed, and while responding to the call, he propped himself up on his elbows and tried to sit up slowly. When He Chun opened the shed door and saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Uncle Ge, be careful. The injury has just healed, so be careful."
"Don't worry about everything, it's the prescription of the Immortal! And Dr. Liu's medicine, my body is getting stronger day by day."
Ge Li's half-paralyzed body was injured when he was hunting that year. He thought he would lie on the bed and drag his daughter down for the rest of his life.Now with Dachun coming down the mountain to Diqiu, Dachun and Shouya actually got the blue eyes of adults, condescending to see a doctor for this useless man, after doing a few tricks, after a few doses of medicine, he actually became slightly conscious half of his body!
Smelly Ya hugged him and wept bitterly, then risked her life to go to the women's camp to learn that very medical care, she said that if she learned this medical skill well, she could not only repay the great kindness of the adults, save lives and heal the wounded for the people of Diqiu, but also take care of Dad ,It could not be better.
"Uncle Ge, this is the temporary account book, please keep it."
He Chun carefully took out the warm, light blue thick paper book from his arms, and handed it to Ge Li.
He also has such a notebook. With this small notebook, the officials can record their names on it, so they can be regarded as half Diqiu people!Only after working in Diqiu Haosheng for three years, or being selected as a regular soldier, will you have the opportunity to change this blue book into a white one—the official household book is white.
"Hey! This is easy to keep, we can be regarded as people with household income!"
Ge Li gently stroked the exquisite book with his rough bark-like hands, and carefully opened a page to read. He didn't recognize any of the words on it, but he knew that with this book in mind, he He Jiuya is an upright Diqiu person, and he no longer has to hide in the mountains in fear and suffer from life and death every day.
After carefully wrapping the small book with a piece of fine linen, and stuffing it into the nest in the center of the grass bed, Ge Licai heaved a sigh of relief, moved his body, and asked He Chunlai:
"Dachun, don't you have to go to work today?"
He Chun shook his head and let out a sigh of relief: "I quit my job."
"Why did you quit your job?!"
Ge Li panicked, and half-raised his body again, the veins on his forehead burst out.
Dachun liked his family's stinky girl since he was a child. In the past, he was so miserable that he couldn't afford to support his own family. If the two of them get together, and he is a useless person, it's like playing a lantern in the latrine-looking for death.
Now that I have finally gone down the mountain, I can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and still have work to do. I earn money every day, and I look forward to a good life. The two children may not be able to achieve good things. How can I work hard? Say no Do not do it? !
"You, you're not, the steward appreciates it very much, and asked you to follow along and memorize it?!"
"Experiment records."
"That's right! That's a job that only gentlemen with pens can do. Why, why..."
"Uncle Ge, I want to go for a break. I want you and Chou Ya to live in a high-rise apartment like a 'dormitory'. I want to marry Chou Ya and raise a few children."
He Chun supported Ge Li's excited body, and said in a low voice: "We can't compare to your confidant, you can't be a soldier, and you can't compare to those who came to Diqiu to suffer together with your lord. Only by going all out and fighting hard can you earn a good life."
"you……"
"I'm going to the caravan." He Chun wiped his face and said firmly: "Follow General Zhong to the Gehele Grassland."
"Well, that's the territory of the Qiang barbarians, and the barbarians kill without blinking an eye!"
Ge Li roared anxiously, suddenly seeing Dachun's determined expression, he suddenly became hoarse.
"Must matter, my lord will let General Zhong lead the guards, nothing will happen..." He Chun murmured, feeling a little guilty.
The two were silent for a moment, Ge Li choked up and said, "Go, go!"
A good life has to be earned with one's life. Back then, when he desperately hunted wild animals, he just wanted his wife and children to live a good life.
He Chun nodded: "Uncle, take care of yourself, and tell me, I, I'm leaving."
Ge Li waved his hand, weeping, and when He Chun stepped out of the shack, he shouted: "Dachun! You must be careful, remember that you are still waiting for you!"
"Remember it!"

"You must be careful in your work. You don't seek merit, but you just want to get out of your body and take the road to trade." Mr. Li gave him thousands of instructions while helping to pack his luggage.
"Aren't you in urgent need of salt and alkali?" The school officer said coldly without even turning a glance.
"Whether it's salt or alkali, half a hair of my Aheng's is not as important as it!" Mr. Li said righteously, fishing for the moon in the sea with one hand, and touched the heavy and good things that he hadn't kissed for several days.
The school officer grabbed the restless paw and yelled majestically: "Hugh is rude."
Pointing to the Hu chair opposite: "Sit."
Lord Li rolled his eyes at the sky, and sat down firmly.
"Why must Yan Qing bring the caravan with me?" Zhong Xiaoguan frowned slightly, his handsome face darkened.
"I've said it all. Yan Qing has always been in charge of the logistics. Although he hasn't gone through the caravan, we can't always rely on the staff in charge of the uncle's house. Now I don't have many capable people under my command, so I can only use these three melons and two dates first, and slowly cultivate them.
This time, he is in charge of the business, and he is in charge of the business. The entire team will be in the hands of you, and you will obey. Oh God! "
"The mouth is too sweet. Could it be that you have practiced too much in front of others?" Officer Zhong squinted coldly.
"I'm all about you, why do I have time to worry about other people?!"
Li Xian slandered endlessly, but coaxed him sweetly. He was just telling Yan Qing about leading a business team. Yan Qing swore and expressed his determination. He praised a few words casually. It's great that the goods have bumped into each other, a can of old altar sour vinegar smokes the sky!
This business route itself is not difficult to travel, several wealthy merchants who are old with Zheng's family have traveled this way, and in the past they only collected some furs, cattle, sheep and horses.
Because there were many Qiang tribes in the past, and they were fragmented and poor, and they would rob each other and kill them from time to time. Although it is the practice on the grassland not to kill caravans, but this way of doing things, this tribe is gone today. Tomorrow the tribe will take revenge, the grassland is in a mess, and if you bring some goods, you won't get any fur cattle and sheep, maybe you will have to be robbed!Gradually, the caravans were reluctant to take this route. They would rather take the way of the Turkic tribes and earn less than disturbing the muddy water.
This year, the Turkic barbarians also became violent, fighting each other endlessly. There was a caravan traveling outside who wanted to go to Gehele again, but was worried about the safety of the caravan. After contacting the Zheng family, they wanted to find out The Diqiu aspect of Saline Lake hit it off.
Lord Li used them to travel his own trade route, and the caravan also borrowed Di Qiu's soldiers to protect its goods.
With these hundreds of black armored soldiers guarding the trade route, safety should be safe, but people have always been afraid of barbarians, such as Turkic barbarians and Qiang barbarians, they are all beasts that eat people alive in the mouths of the common people. Team recruitment is a little more difficult.
Fortunately, Mr. Li is deep in Diqiu's "grassroots of the masses", and everyone is well aware of the truth of seeking wealth and insurance. After Mr. Li paid high wages and high work points, the caravan was quickly recruited.
The only thing to appease now is General Vinegar, who has led half of the Black Armored Army and is going to protect the caravan to Gehele.
What else can I say, the gentleman moved his mouth and hands, squeezed out the sour vinegar, and the electricity made him feel comfortable, how can he remember so much?
"In case, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to use this 'communication treasure money' to tell me."
With the help of senior staff, no matter what, there is a way to solve the problem.
Mr. Li hugged his heavy general sweatingly, half turned around with difficulty, touched the "copper coin" tied with a red thread in his hand and said in a low voice, this struggle really exhausted his energy and energy. force.
"Ah."
Zhongheng's whole body was crisp and numb, and he was so comfortable that he didn't want to move a single strand of hair. He slightly bent his big toe, and suddenly grabbed the tender white toe that was messing around on his leg, trying to pull out a few black hairs. Threatened: "If you dare to provoke me again, I will kill you in the crotch!"
Master Li narrowed his peachy eyes, this is a few days without a fight, is it worth it?He sneered and said nothing, and rode his horse to withdraw his whip.
Thinking of parting for ten months, Mr. Li was even more merciless, and finally accepted the titan into submission.
"Ah Xian, remember to miss me." Zhong Heng murmured softly when they embraced each other and fell asleep.
It's rare to see this guy so childish, Li Xian smiled softly, and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "Go to sleep, I miss you every night, never miss others."
"Think about it every day."
"Slap!" A slap, "It's too long-winded, go to sleep!
