Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1078 Yellow Sheep Meat

The bald-headed man looked gloomy. He stood up and shouted at the top of his voice: "Whoever can't control his stinky mouth will not be allowed to eat for three days. Humph, the military camp has military law, and our escort agency also has rules. Whoever keeps buzzing like a mosquito will be dragged down and beaten with twenty sticks!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence, without a sound at all.

The bald-headed man put his hands in front of him, looked around, and was very satisfied. "That's more reasonable. Otherwise, if people say that you are from the Xu family army, it will only bring shame to the Xu family army! I am too embarrassed to even speak up!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Boss, please say a few words."

Zhou Guo stood up and looked around.

Xu also knew her, and she did not see any contempt on these people's faces.

There was curiosity, respect, and even admiration. It seemed that a lot of ideological work had been done before he came out, and there was still admiration.

She spoke slowly, "Everyone came here, I believe your general has told you a lot of things before he set out. Then I will say it again, my name is Zhou Guo, you can also call me Xu Anbei, I am the boss behind the escort agency.

Since you have come to the escort agency, the escort agency will be your home in the future. Every work you do for this family will return to you in the future. We are all members of this family. From now on, we will eat and live together, earn money together, eat meat together, and drink soup together.

As long as you work hard and are willing to endure hardships, and serve the Escort Agency wholeheartedly, the Escort Agency will naturally not treat you unfairly, and you will get what you want now in the future."

She looked at the bald man.

The bald-headed man spoke up, "That's what I mean. If you don't believe me, ask the brothers who came here before. Some of them are far from being comparable to some of you. They can live a good life, so you won't be any worse off."

There were also a few people who had previously come out of the military camp sitting on the stage.

Everyone unconsciously looked over there. Even though he stayed in the escort agency, he was well fed and well clothed, and his complexion was much better than before. He was cheerful, with clear eyes, and it was obvious that he was living a good life.

Everyone felt much more at ease.

They are Xu's army, but they are also afraid that they will have a bad life after being transferred out.

But as long as they can have enough food and warm clothes, such a life is already the best for them. At least they don’t have to worry about going to the battlefield and losing their lives at any time. Here, after today, there is tomorrow, and countless days in the future.

After Zhou Guo finished talking to Laizitou, it was the turn of Mo Erniu Si and other deputy escort leaders to speak, and then it was the turn of the lower leaders. Each of them spoke a sentence, and an hour passed.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Zhou Guo said, "Let them have their meal. They have been traveling for several days, so they should have a good rest tonight."

Everyone needs to eat.

Er Pang said, "Master, the sheep has been slaughtered and sent to the Lord and the County Magistrate. As you said, two pounds for the Lord and one pound for the County Magistrate, along with some fruit and snacks."

Zhou Guo asked: "Send some to your elder brother, and we will roast the rest tonight."

"Thank you, master!" Erpang grinned and left happily. It was great that the master didn't forget to leave a portion of such good stuff for his elder brother.

Hu Zi also came, and all the Yunzhou stewards under her came.

There wasn't much food in a sheep, so some was given away everywhere. Plus, with so many people, each person couldn't eat much.

But everyone still came in a lively manner. Having such delicious food for them to eat together showed that the master cared about them and valued them. It was their honor.

Even if each person can only eat one bite, they have to come.

There was not much mutton, but there were many people.

This small amount of mutton was shared among everyone, cut into slices and grilled on an iron rack. Everyone sat together, drinking and eating meat.

Zhou Guo and Laizitou Huzi and others sat together. The aroma of yellow sheep meat made them salivate.

The bald-headed man sniffed the aroma and said, "Damn, I haven't eaten the yellow sheep meat yet, but why do I feel that even the aroma is different?"

Hu Zi said: "The meat is different, and of course the aroma is different. I heard that the yellow sheep meat has no smell and is tender and fresh. If nothing else, the meat of the Hu people is still good."

Mo Er had never eaten it before, and as he was old, it was difficult for him to compete with these kids, so he could only drink and wait for the food.

Zhou Guo looked at the sizzling meat, his hand holding the chopsticks eager to try, "Okay, the meat is so thin, it will burn if you grill it any further."

After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, he took the lead in picking up a piece of meat that he had chosen earlier, blew on it, and put it into his mouth, sighing with satisfaction. There was no strong smell of mutton, and it was indeed delicious!

When the bald man saw it, he didn't even look for it. He just picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Even though it was so hot that he grimaced, he was reluctant to spit it out.

Hu Zi and the others laughed.

After eating some yellow mutton, everyone started to roast other meat. By the end of the meal, it was already late at night.

Zhou Guo said, "You must bring these people out as soon as possible. Next month, when the wheat is harvested in Nanhe, these people will be put to good use. The harvested grain will be transported to the south by then. Third Master, you should take them with you."

The bald-headed man said, "Okay, maybe we can catch up with the autumn harvest if we go back. How many people should I take with me?"

Zhou Guo pondered and said, "Three thousand, and keep the rest for the autumn harvest in case you can't come back."

In addition to the North Land, the South River has also been added this year. The land there is wide and although the road is flat, the pressure of autumn harvest is also there.

Once the two sides arrive, I'm afraid it will be very busy.

The bald-headed man said, "We will try our best to come back. We will deliver food all the way south, and the more we go, the lighter and faster we will go. When we come back, we will travel light and faster, and there will be no delay."

Zhou Guo nodded. "It's okay if we can't make it back in time. There are still many people at home. After the autumn harvest, the escort agency will transport another batch of grain to the south. These thousands of people will stay in the south after transporting the grain."

Qian Duo went to the south, Nanhe Quanzi is there, Lai Zi Tou wants to go south, and the north is taken care of by Hu Zi and Dapang. She can go anywhere now.

After arranging these thousands of people, she went to the government office.

Zhang Lian asked, "Why are you still going to Nanhe at this time? Aren't you waiting for news?"

Zhou Guo said: "It's useless for me to wait here. Even if there is news, I can't do anything. Nanhe will harvest wheat soon. Instead of wasting time here, I might as well go to Nanhe and watch."

Zhang Lian felt that it made sense. He felt relieved just by hearing this news. Nothing else was of any use.

I can't fly to the front line.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhou Guo, "Did Xu Sibei go south to look for the general?"

Zhou Guo didn't ask him how he knew it, since it was the city gate officer who opened the gate. He neither admitted nor denied it, "I'll leave first. If you get any news, you have to tell me even if I'm not in Yunzhou."

Zhang Lian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. I will definitely not forget you if there is any trouble here."

After seeing Zhou Guo off, he rubbed his hands. Xu Sibei's ability to withdraw from the border meant that the crisis at the border had been temporarily resolved, right?
