This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 245 Interest Groups
Passing through the gate of time and space, Wang Dong suddenly felt that the temperature around him was much lower. He opened his eyes and looked around. When his eyes got used to the darkness, he found that he was back in Wang Hui's small bedroom again. The moon was still in the eastern sky outside the window. It seems that I went back for a month, about half an hour passed in the time and space of Zhenguan years.

The next morning, Wang Dong got up early and went to Zhechong Mansion in Shanzhou, and then found that Hou Junji himself had gone to Tianshui, and asked the little official that he probably would not return to Shanzhou in a short time.

He already has a lot of materials for the trebuchet with him now, but making a large-scale gravity trebuchet is not a small project, and requires a lot of materials and manpower. Wang Dong himself does not have the right to do so. Waiting for Hou Junji's return to arrange manpower to start manufacturing, Hou Junji also thought of this, so before leaving, he specially asked Wang Dong to sort out the materials, think carefully, write a charter, and wait for him to come back.

For Wang Dong, this was equivalent to giving him a long vacation, and the people in Zhechong Mansion in Shanzhou had nothing to do for him, so Wang Dong skipped work Shi Ran after he nodded.

Although it has been a month since he returned to modern times, it was only one night before he returned to modern times in Zhenguan Time and Space, so he went to Shanzhou Qiang to inquire and found that He La and their looms hadn’t been built yet, so Wang Dong went back. After discussing with Mrs. Yang at home, he took a group of servants of the players to the land rewarded by his family.

In the south of Shanzhou City, after Niu Jichang, the general manager of Zhechong Mansion in Shanzhou, took up his new post, he disposed of a large house here as his residence in Shanzhou. At this time, he was sitting in the middle hall of the house, dressing up with a dozen merchants. people talking.

A wealthy-looking middle-aged businessman said: "My lord, since spring is coming this year, we must have prepared all the purchases we need for Zhechong Mansion in Shanzhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, another peddler who looked like a monkey cheek quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and walked up to Niu Jichang.

Niu Jichang looked at the list of gifts, and then said with a straight face: "I am such a greedy person, didn't you already give gifts when you came here earlier? Take it, take it."

The middle-aged fat businessman quickly smiled and said: "When I first entered the mansion, I gave it as a meeting gift that is often seen during the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, the Master Chief was fighting in front of the Tuyuhun battle. I have no chance to meet you, so I just made up for it today. Now this one But it's not a gift, but a dividend from last year between me and the general manager."

"Oh. Speaking of which, this year's and last year's dividends should be taken. If you don't mention it, I will forget it." Niu Jichang responded, and then put the gift list on the table in his hand, and then asked: "Master Li Have you been there before?"

Hearing this, the fat businessman exchanged glances with everyone and quickly turned back to Niu Jichang and said with a smile, "I've seen it before. Last year, Mr. Li was promoted to the general of the gate guard of the left prison. I can't wait to see you. This year, Mr. Li came to Shanzhou from Chang'an. Mr. Li deliberately spared no time." See you, I was lucky enough to meet you once."

"Master Li is now in good health, his prestige is undiminished, and his family is in prosperity. I heard that we talked about the management of the general manager in Longxi, and praised the general manager for his ability to do things."

Hearing this, Niu Jichang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, then waved his hands and smiled.

Before he came to Shanzhou to work, Niu Jichang already knew that it would be very difficult for his resume to go up one more level, so when he took up his post in Shanzhou, he knew that his main job in Shanzhou City was no longer Going up and up, but sitting on the ground and making money.Of course, it is necessary to run a job for myself, but the other thing is to help my backer and old boss Li Junxian earn some money.

Li Junxian was born in Tiance Admiral's Mansion, and is a figure in Li Shimin's pocket.Ten years ago, when Li Shimin came to the throne, he encountered Turkic invaders. The enemy invaded forty miles outside Chang'an City. It was Li Junxian and Yu Chigong who joined forces to defeat the enemy. He was very impressed, so he was directly promoted by Li Shimin to be General Zuowuwei, in charge of the Suwei of Xuanwumen.At the time when the Xuanwumen Change just happened, Li Junxian was allowed to guard the Xuanwumen, which undoubtedly reflected Li Shimin's absolute trust in Li Junxian.

In the following ten years, Li Junxian spent most of his time as Li Shimin's personal military attache, taking charge of the garrison closest to Li Shimin.Two years ago, he was sent to Longxi to work with Duan Xuanzhi to fight Tuyuhun. After returning, he was promoted to General of the Zuojian Gate Guard. However, this was Li Shimin who released him to gain a lot of military exploits and directly promoted him to serve the whole of Chang'an. Although the leader of the Guards is still in charge of the work of the Guards, his level has been raised again.

But for Li Junxian, although it is enough to be the general of the left prison gate guard, there is one disadvantage, that is, he has been an official in Chang'an all the year round, and there are really not many ways to make money. Fortunately, Li Shimin allowed him to release him for a while. Going to Longxi, so Li Junxian naturally wanted to take Longxi'an to insert some manpower, so as to earn some property for himself after he retired.

Niu Jichang was actually chosen by Li Junxian for such a role.Regardless of the fact that Zhechong Mansion in Shanzhou is just a central government with 1000 people, the daily training of these personnel, the purchase of horses and ordnance, etc., are only a small amount of income. It was Tang Tu's front line at this time, and it was a big deal to prepare resources before the army set off, and Li Junxian used his relationship in Longxi to arrange manpower to insert more than just a small twist in Shanzhou. In the ten or so mansions from Shazhou to the east, the business of food, fodder and armaments is all run by businessmen related to Li Junxian.Every year, the benefits delivered by these businessmen to Li Junxian can reach a thousand taels.

Niu Jichang was placed in Shanzhou, in a sense, he was responsible for helping Li Junxian to supervise these business transactions, and at the same time, he also got a high salary similar to that of a manager.

At the beginning of the year, the Tang army dispatched troops to Tuyuhun, which was a great job for Niu Jichang. Niu Jichang and the dozen or so businessmen under his management made a lot of money, so these businessmen hurried to Chang'an to meet Li Junxian, and handed over their profits to Li Junxian in person. After Li Junxian reported, he came back to discuss business matters with Niu Jichang for the next year.

Niu Jichang smiled and said: "Everyone did a good job last year. Speaking of which, as a merchant, you came here for profit, but we also count as our duty to do business. Buying and selling is what a merchant should do. However, the land of Shanzhou is quite impoverished, and there is no way to support these many soldiers. If we did not sell food and grass, I am afraid that the entire Zhechong Mansion of Shanzhou would be difficult to operate. Speaking of which, we have done a good deed. "

The merchants nodded upon hearing this.

Suddenly the fat businessman asked: "May I ask the general manager, how much food and wine we need for Zhechong Mansion this year? I will prepare it when I go back. When I came to Shanzhou, I heard that Hou Junji's official book was newly proposed in Shanzhou." Let me give you a gentleman to reward him with thousands of acres of fertile land, if Hou Junji, Hou Shangshu wants to grow grain locally in Longxi, this... Will we be able to sell much less grain and fodder in Longxi in the future?"
