"Sun Weixuan, come here!"

Luo Daheng stood at the door of the warehouse and yelled loudly, a young man ran over immediately, grabbed the sweat towel on his shoulders and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Luo Daheng: "Boss, what's the matter? "

Luo Daheng pointed to the mountains of goods in the warehouse, and said: "I ask you, what happened? How many days have these goods been backlogged? Some things are about to deteriorate. Look at these two hundred baskets of fresh fruits. It smells like wine, if this goes on, the fruit will turn into wine!"

Sun Weixuan smiled wryly and said: "Big boss, it's not that the brothers don't work hard. It's really a shortage of manpower. The villages of the second and third bosses are fighting for water and weapons. The two bosses call all the brothers in their clan When I went back, I lost half of the handlebars and porters... "

This Sun Weixuan is in his early twenties, with a tall and strong figure, his plump pectoral muscles like rocks, gnarled arm muscles, handsome face, and the smile that often hangs on the corner of his mouth, making him very popular, especially with women, brother Every time they run a long distance, when they earn money and go back to the brothel to spend money, he can always call the most beautiful girl, but spend the least money, and sometimes some girls pay back, which really envies the brothers.

Sun Weixuan is currently the chief steward of the "Luo Gao Li Sanxing Chariot and Horse Company", and he is also the best handlebar type. When the other handlebar type passes some dangerous roads, he can only move the goods down and carefully pull the carriage up. Go up, and then carry the goods up one by one, only he dares to go straight up with a whip, and those animals are trained by him to be docile.

At the same time, he knows some fists and kicks, and he has a bold personality, generous and generous, and is very popular in the chariot and horse dealership. However, there is another main reason why the tycoon chose him to be the chief steward: he is not Qi Mu's direct descendant.

When Qi Mu was still there, Chang Zizai was the chief manager of the car dealership. At that time, Sun Weixuan had just entered the industry for more than a year. Because of his popularity, he was often suppressed by Chang Zizai. However, after Qi Mu's death, Chang Zizai recruited a group of cronies to do it alone, and only then did Sun Weixuan have a bright future.

The tycoon couldn't help frowning when he heard Sun Weixuan's words, and said: "Then hire someone again, as long as we are willing to spend money, are we afraid that we won't be able to hire someone?"

Sun Weixuan said embarrassingly: "Big boss, you don't know. Although there are many poor people in the county, as long as they have something to eat, many people don't want to go to the post road to earn hard money for long-distance transportation. Some people are willing to eat this bowl of rice. But the body is too thin, let that kind of person travel long distances, and we have to pay his funeral expenses when he comes back."

Luo Daheng: "..."

Sun Weixuan said: "One more thing, after Qi Mu's death, Chang Zizai recruited a group of people to work alone and established Chang's Car and Horse Company. Recently, another person named Xie Chuanfeng established Xie's Car and Horse Company. They came from us one after another. A lot of people have been recruited, and some of the best handlebars have been poached, so we don't have enough manpower."

The tycoon's chubby face didn't have any wrinkles at all, and his broad forehead was even. At this moment, he squeezed out a Sichuan character, and said sullenly: "How could this be? We have made a contract with others. Time will increase the price of compensation."

Sun Weixuan thought for a while and said, "Boss, how about this, we pick the things that are easily damaged and can't be stored, and transport them first, and at the same time try to recruit as many people as possible. I really can't think of any other way."

The tycoon squeezed his round chin and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No! You can ship those expensive goods and regular customers' goods first, and those cheap things, at worst, you can compensate according to the contract. You have to remember, these days Even if the business does not make any money, our brand cannot be ruined. As for the manpower, you continue to recruit people, and the wages will be raised."

Sun Weixuan nodded in agreement and rushed to make arrangements. The tycoon took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from his schoolbag, took a bite viciously, and muttered, "Gao Ya, Li Bohao, these two bastards who don't know what to say, are you going to pinch on the mountain all day if it doesn't rain?"

※※※

After Zhao Wenyuan took office, the life of the postman was still pleasant, except for guarding a big beauty who was as beautiful as a flower and wearing his woman's signboard, but he couldn't eat it, there was almost nothing difficult in other aspects Son.

The post stations in the Ming Dynasty were not only transportation hubs, but also had many military uses, especially post stations in border areas and special places like Guizhou. Therefore, the position of the post station in Huxian County is very special. As the post office here, Zhao Wenyuan has 80 horses, 60 donkeys, 30 cows, 8 bearers, 210 post soldiers, and road guards. With one hundred and twenty dead, he was considered a feudal lord in Huxian County, and he was in control of the power, so he was naturally at ease.

However, Zhao Wenyuan hadn't made any progress on the task assigned by Yang Yinglong.

The last Huxian postman was dispatched by the imperial court, but this time he appointed Zhao Wenyuan, who has a background in Bozhou. I really don’t know what the court’s bigwigs thought. For such an important position, they could not have done something to Zhao Wenyuan before the appointment. After some investigation, Zhao Wenyuan's origin is not difficult to find out.

Zhao Wenyuan is currently getting acquainted with the operation of the station and his subordinates. As for the postmen and soldiers, he believes that as long as they use kindness and power together, they can always cultivate some confidantes in time. Intimate things are difficult.

Because there are a large number of chariots and horses involved in post road transportation, and most of these chariots and horses have strong backgrounds, at least they don’t have to be attached to him, a small post, and his duties are only related to the imperial court. , which belongs to the power of Huxian County.

Zhao Wenyuan paced back and forth in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and he still couldn't think of a suitable idea. Qian Qingqing was wearing a skirt and jacket, and an asparagus cloak, and came out from behind with a little maid, as if about to go out.

Seeing Zhao Wenyuan pacing preoccupiedly, Qian Qingqing curled her lips in disdain, and said to the little maid, "Go out and wait!" The little maid left first and went to the courtyard. Qian Qingqing said: "Are you so embarrassed?"

Zhao Wenyuan glanced at her coldly and said, "Do you have a good idea?"

Qian Qingqing said: "I don't have a good way, but I know a truth: you can either create an opportunity yourself, or wait until it appears, you have just taken office, even if you can't be re-elected, you will have to serve as a post for three years, you You have only been in office for a few days now, what are you worried about?"

Zhao Wenyuan said unhappily: "Miss Qingqing, Zhao is no match for you. I am not the only available person in front of Mr. Yang, and my father is not just my son. They gave me this opportunity. If I don't work hard, they will be killed." Disappointed. They disappoint, and I lose everything."

Qian Qingqing's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly: "What do you mean by that, do you mean that I don't need to work hard?"

Zhao Wenyuan teased: "Of course you need it, but you don't need to work hard. You are a woman, ha!"

Qian Qingqing squinted at him and said, "You think I'm the chieftain's woman?"

Zhao Wenyuan sneered and said: "Of course not! If so, how could Lord Chieftain give you to me? To be precise, you should be the woman that Lord Chieftain used to be, but Lord Chieftain is tired of playing, but unfortunately you still dream of reuniting one day. Winning the favor of Master Tusi, he once again climbed the sycamore branch."

Qian Qingqing twitched his eyebrows, and flew into a rage. But she didn't lose her temper, her face suddenly turned into a smile that was not a smile, she looked at him and said leisurely: "Even if my family is a gray sparrow, it just doesn't want to live on this branch of yours. How am I?"

Zhao Wenyuan suddenly became angry, he really couldn't do anything to Qian Qingqing, Qian Qingqing was not his subordinate, but was sent by Yang Yinglong to cooperate with him. In order to conceal his identity, he claimed to be his wife, but Yang Yinglong never said that Qian Qingqing must sleep with him. Could he go to Yang Yinglong for instructions on this matter

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Qian Qingqing smiled triumphantly, puffed up her chest, and walked out like a proud peacock. When she reached the door, she stopped suddenly and said to Zhao Wenyuan: "If you think waiting for an opportunity is too late, why don't you make one yourself?" Chance?"

Zhao Wenyuan said: "Create opportunities yourself?"

Qian Qingqing said: "The people who live on this post road are not only businessmen, but also some bandits and bandits. If they always cause trouble in your jurisdiction, you need to send soldiers to protect the road to pass the pass smoothly. You want to control Will the chances of this road increase greatly?"

Zhao Wenyuan chewed on what Qian Qingqing said, his eyes gradually lit up. When he raised his head again, Qian Qingqing had already gone far.

Qian Qingqing went to the city to buy things for use, and wanted to hire a few servants along the way. The inn is full of men. When she came from Guiyang, she only brought a girl bought from Guiyang. The back house can't be kept busy with only one maid. Qian Qingqing plans to hire two wives and two maids. ring.

Qian Qingqing was accompanied by her personal maid into the county seat. First, she found Ren Yazi and selected four local mothers and maids from clean families, and then asked them to accompany them to Shizi Street to buy some daily necessities for women. , bought two more boxes of pastries and a jar of sugar syrup, and wanted to go to the county government to find out where Ye Dianshi lived so that he could visit Yaoyao.

Qian Qingqing's main purpose of coming to Huxian County, apart from being in the middle to support and deliver news, is to maintain a certain relationship with Ye Xiaotian, in fact, to maintain a certain relationship with Yaoyao. On the way, Qian Qingqing and Yaoyao were in the same car, and had already maintained a good relationship with this little girl, and Yaoyao had a good impression of this aunt Qingqing.

Qian Qingqing rushed to the gate of the county government office, raised her chin lightly, and ordered a postman to ask Ye Dianshi's residence. The postman had just stepped forward when suddenly three or four arresters ran over in a panic, He bumped to the side and stabbed at the gate of the county government.

These people had bruised noses and swollen faces, and it was obvious that they had been severely beaten. Several people ran while shouting: "Report to the county magistrate, the county magistrate was... arrested by the people from the Li family village, hurry up! If you are late, your life may be in danger!"
