He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Zhou Zheng rode his horse around in a leisurely manner, and was very happy to see the prosperity.

These shepherds are very capable. Not only has the main house been built, but the stables next to it are also almost complete. Two workers are repairing the roof.

Jilan is taking a herdsman to build a cabin for himself, Wei Xin and others. This will be the residence of several of their herdsmen from now on.

A row of small wooden houses are neatly located under a small slope, with dense woods behind them. Although simple, it looks quite exquisite.

"Boss, I'm really happy to see you back safely." Kieran greeted Zhou Zheng happily when he saw him wandering around.

Zhou Zheng walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "I heard, you have worked hard during this time."

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." Kieran said with a smile: "I like it here very much, and I will do my best to make it better."

He participated in the Annesburg operation, which can be regarded as a considerable contribution. When the money was divided, he naturally had a share. Although his share was not much compared to other people who came, but for him, it was unprecedented. I've seen a huge amount of money.

Now that he has money, he will soon have a house of his own, which makes him more willing to do his best here.

Wei Xin is also here. He has returned from Blackwater Town and brought good news to Zhou Zheng.

William's situation has been completely settled. Once Cornwall died, the external pressure was completely gone. Some of the opposition in the state also completely died down, and they could no longer make waves.

Originally, the folk customs in the state of West Elizabeth were relatively tough, and it was nothing to kill someone to avenge his son, so after William paid some benefits, the matter was finally raised high and put down gently.

William privately promised some neutral party policies and promised not to use public funds to expand the police force, finally satisfying these greedy guys.

However, although he gave up a lot of benefits, William's basic base is the ranch. As long as there is no problem with the ranch, it will not hurt his foundation.

He asked Wei Xin to tell Zhou Zheng that there was no problem now, and asked him to take Isabella to Blackwater Town after a few days of rest. He would talk to him about anything.

Zhou Zheng had a rough idea of ​​what William wanted to talk about, and then asked Wei Xin to find Hosea and ask him to think of ways to prepare things.

Don’t you just want to talk about Zhou Zheng and Isabella? My father-in-law has to give face to Zhou Zheng, and he must have the proper etiquette. However, he doesn’t understand these American routines. Let Hosea find a way to go. .

John's house on the other side of the river was also busy. As soon as Zhou Zheng passed by, he saw a dozen loggers working hard to chop down trees with saws.

There are also two machines here, and several workers bring freshly cut trees here for rough processing.

If the quality is good, they will peel the trunks and have them transported away. For those with poor quality, they will be simply processed into fences, wooden stakes and various simple tools.

Dry branches and other waste materials will be dried and processed before being loaded into trucks and sent to Zhou Zheng and his family as firewood.

Hosea waived a large portion of their fees, which made the foreman very happy. In his words, strength is worthless, and they didn't mind working more as long as they could make more money.

After the trees were cut down in John's place, there were more and bigger trees in Hosea and Charles' place. This large forest could allow workers in these lumber mills to earn a lot of money.

Zhou Zheng is also happy to do this. This can save them a lot of trouble. These things will have to be done sooner or later, so it is better to let them get it done in one step.

Pulling out the map in his bag, Zhou Zheng thought carefully along the map. If he wanted to open a tavern and casino, he had to find a good location.

The casino is okay, but alcohol is prohibited in Strawberry Town. If you want to have a tavern, you can't stand it directly on the street. You have to find a place that is relatively inconspicuous, but not too difficult to find.

After much selection, they finally felt that the wooden house where they had been hiding was the most suitable place, but it was close to Wallace Station to the west and Strawberry Town not far to the south. The transportation is very convenient.

And the location itself is in the woods, which is a great location.

Zhou Zheng felt that he should go there and take a look, and if the place was suitable, he would build his industry there.

It seems that these carpenters have something to do again.

Zhou Zheng continued to walk forward and saw a group of people standing by the river. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be Da Qi and the others.

Arthur, Javier, they were all there, as well as John and Hosea. Zhou Zheng rode over and said, "Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just chatting about what happened during this period." Da Qi saw Zhou Zheng coming and replied with a smile.

"How about it, it's very nice here, isn't it." Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "I gave some of it to Hosea and the others."

"Very good, thank you." Dutch said a rare thank you, as you should know that he is a proud man.

"Are you still leaving?" Zhou Zheng saw the solemn expressions on Arthur and others' faces and probably guessed what was going on.

"Yeah, let's leave after their injuries are better." Dutch looked at Javier and Bill beside him.

"You have your ideals, and we also have ours." Dutch held his head high, with a look of pride on his face: "We will not wait here for a farmer or anyone else, we are warriors."

Hosea wanted to say something, but even though he was always eloquent, he didn't know what to say. He could only nod and say nothing.

Arthur and John didn't say anything, knowing that their persuasion would be useless.

"You can live a good life here." Dutch said with a smile: "Isn't this what you have always hoped for?"

"But..." Arthur hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up. He just said: "If something happens, remember to come back to us."

"Don't worry, I will." Dutch patted Arthur: "I have already figured out a lot of things."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously.

"New Austin, the complicated situation in the east is not suitable for people like us. I am going to go to the west." Dutch said with a serious face: "If you have trouble, remember to contact us. We may be more convenient for some things."

"Thank you." Zhou Zheng thanked him sincerely. Daqi's meaning was obvious. If there are people who are difficult to solve, you might as well let them solve it. Daqi will take the blame.

"That's good. There are still many opportunities in the west. You will feel like going home there." He Xi'a said with a smile: "It's still a desert there. You can rebuild the Van der Linde Gang there."

"Yes, that's where I want to go." Dutch said with longing as he looked at the west.
