Chapter 750 Return to Recruit Soldiers
"Our master said that if we need you tomorrow, you must be brought to our house tonight."
Zhou Guo glanced at him and said, "There's nothing I can do."
The servant was not happy, "Hey, why are you not happy? Do you know who our master is? I am respecting you by buying fat from you. If you know what's good for you, take it home quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Before Zhou Guo could say anything, the people around him were unhappy. "What are you talking about, you little brat, say it again? Are you tired of living and looking for trouble? You don't even bother to find out who our boss is. You can overthrow your master with just one finger!"
A dozen men gathered around.
They all came from the mountains, and had been soldiers and bandits. When they glared at me, most people couldn't stand it.
The servant was frightened and a little nervous, "You...you...you guys..."
You just can't say anything because you're afraid you'll be beaten if you say it.
Zhou Guo spoke up at the right time to avoid being scared to the point of peeing his pants, and explained: "You have two eyes and you can see how busy I am. There is always a first come first served order for buying fertilizer. First, I don't have that much fertilizer here, and second, I don't have that many cars.
Our vehicles have all been dispatched, so we can’t deliver fertilizer even if we have it. But there will be fertilizer the day after tomorrow, and if you really can’t wait, you can come and get it yourself.”
The servant wanted to say something, but several big men nearby were watching him eagerly, as if they would beat him to death if he said another word. He hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back and ask my housekeeper."
After saying that, he hurried away.
Zhou Guo shook his head. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to send a servant like this who couldn't make decisions on anything?
After a few hours, a man who looked like a manager came and said with a big smile on his face, "Is this young man the manager here? We need 500 dan of fertilizer."
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows. The time doubled in just a few hours?
He nodded and opened the booklet. "Which company? Where is it shipped to? How many acres of land does 500 dan of fertilizer cover?"
Apart from the Zhao family, no other landlords had ever come to buy fertilizer. When they heard Zhou Guo's words, they were shocked and asked, "You need to know this, too?"
Zhou Guo said, "Yes, you have to remember it this way. It's okay if you don't tell me the rest. There are only a few of you big customers anyway, so you won't get confused. Just answer the first two."
The manager answered with a smile.
After he finished, he took out a seal, pressed it back, and said goodbye with a smile.
Zhou Guo took a closer look. Wang Fuheng, this name shows that he is rich!
He was indeed a wealthy family, with five hundred shi, which was equivalent to the wealth of two villages.
As soon as this wealthy family arrived, others followed suit, with three hundred shi, six hundred shi, four hundred shi...
Zhou Guo also got to know many wealthy people.
The richest family has to be the first family in the north, the Wang family. Not to mention the main family, there are also many side branches. There are five families who are using her name to buy fat, and I don't know if they are from the same ancestor.
She definitely couldn't win against such a big family. Fortunately, she had a powerful backer, otherwise she would have been eaten to the point of leaving nothing behind.
She was still very wise. She acted in the name of a general, and the jackals and cheetahs on the road gave way to her.
The old man couldn't stand her smug look, "It's good now, but if people find out in the future, you'll be in trouble."
Zhou Guo chuckled, "Master, don't worry. Didn't I tell you long ago that as long as the soldiers in the camp can have enough food, the title of general can be used at will. Besides, I haven't done anything bad. He would be happy for it. Our general must be a good general."
The old man did not deny this, he was indeed a good general.
After the big farmers in more than 20 counties in the north, including Yunzhou, stopped buying fertilizer, the number of people coming to buy fertilizer in the whole north was almost gone. Almost all of the remaining people who had not bought fertilizer were farmers who had no land at all and were tenant farmers. They could not afford it and did not want to buy it.
After applying fertilizer several times on the fields, this year's fertilizer fermentation work has come to an end.
At this time, Qian Duo and others had not returned yet, but many refugees arrived from the north.
The refugees said that the south was in chaos, complete chaos, with uprisings and wars everywhere, and that there were several emperors in the south.
Today this emperor dies, and tomorrow another one becomes emperor. It feels like there are emperors everywhere. I heard that the emperor in the capital is gone, and a new little emperor is enthroned.
In an instant, thousands of refugees came together. The Lord was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep. How to accommodate so many people?
Zhou Guo was also getting restless at this time. Qian Duo and his men had been away for two or three months. They were already on their way back, but they didn't know where they were. Wouldn't it be disastrous if they ran into the army?
It’s so hard to make money in this chaotic world!
I just hope they are smart and come back without missing a single one.
Just at this time, Zhou Dacang came home!!
When Zhou Guo received the letter, he read it three times from beginning to end in disbelief. Without even having time to pack his luggage, he and the old man rode their horses and rushed home.
He galloped all the way to the door of his house, and just as he dismounted, someone came out.
Zhou Guo looked at the man in front of him. It had been a few years since they last met. Zhou Dacang's appearance hadn't changed, but his aura had changed a lot.
His figure was stronger and taller than the previous two years, and his appearance was handsome, especially his eyes, which were bright and sharp. When he stood there, he exuded a sense of majesty, and ordinary people did not dare to challenge him.
Zhou Guo shouted happily: "Uncle, you're back!!"
Zhou Dacang looked her up and down with a smile and said, "Our young master Zhou has grown up again and become more handsome."
I don’t know if it’s because he wears too many men’s clothes, but Zhou Guo is not only good-looking now, but also looks more and more heroic, making it difficult to tell whether he is a male or a female.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't send any letter before. How long can you stay this time?"
The old man said, "What's the point of squeezing at the door? Let's go inside and talk. You've been running for so long, your butt must be sore. Go have some tea."
Tea and food had already been prepared in the yard.
After the meal, the family sat down and chatted.
Zhou Guo raised the question he had asked before.
Zhou Dacang said, "I came back this time to recruit soldiers. I heard that there were many refugees from the north, and the higher-ups asked me to recruit as many soldiers as possible back to the camp."
Zhou Guo was shocked. "The imperial court is already struggling to take care of itself. They certainly can't allocate food and military pay. How are you going to feed so many people?"
Zhou Dacang gave her a meaningful look and said, "I heard you made quite a big noise."
Zhou Guo was silent, and felt a chill on his back. After a while, he asked tentatively: "The general knows all about it?"
Zhou Dacang nodded, "We knew it during the autumn harvest last year. Otherwise, why do you think so many people came to buy our fertilizer after only one winter? Did you think it was your fertilizer that was good?"
