Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Si Ji sighed and said, "Let's talk about the price tomorrow. The store isn't open yet today!" He had simply wanted to test whether the newly made planks were sturdy, but who knew it would cause so much trouble.

He stood up and put the dismantled planks back, not giving the others a chance to open their mouths. They haven't eaten yet! How annoying!

"Hey, what's going on? The door was just opened and it closed suddenly?" Shopkeeper Yu was anxious.

Siji glanced at him lazily and said, "My brothers don't have enough to eat, and this dried vegetable is out of stock."

Everyone looked at the man-high sack on the ground. Such a whole sack of dried vegetables was not enough for him to eat.

"Your brother?" At this time someone grasped the point.

"Look at the Blackstone Guard logo on the door."

Everyone looked up and found that the door was completely bare, as they had not noticed before. However, the signs hanging on both sides were painted with a black stone logo on a white background, which was the same as the pattern on the belts of those soldiers.

"It really is a shop opened by Weiying." Seeing this, everyone felt it was not right to disturb others while they were eating, so they all dispersed.

I had been thinking of coming here to join in the fun as a new store was opening today, but I didn't expect the store to close in less than an hour.

The most unwilling one among them was the shopkeeper Yu from Yipinxiang. He got up early today and came here specially to bargain for the new goods so as to enrich the hotel's menu. He did not expect that it turned out to be the Black Stone Guard's store.

He walked to the door of his own restaurant and glanced back at the black stone road on the sign. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and he turned back and spat. As for the dried fish and kelp, it seemed that he had no chance of having them.

I cursed in my heart, just wait and see, in a few days you won’t be able to be so arrogant anymore.

In the store lobby, after the door was sealed, everyone could finally sit down and have a good meal.

Si Ji turned around and saw that they had eaten everything in the vegetable bowl, but few people touched the preserved fruits and dried fish.

He raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you try it!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Seafood is precious, so let's keep it and sell it!" They knew that they were lucky to have this meal, as the dried shepherd's purse in the salad cost 20 cents per pound, not to mention that there were mushrooms and bacon in it.

In the past, we were only lucky enough to taste these things during the Chinese New Year, but today's meal will cost a lot of money.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of things. They are all specially instructed by the lady to be sent to you."

Originally they had no plan to buy a shop because Tongguan was too remote and although the house prices were cheap, it was dangerous!

In this land, merchants woke up every day with fear in their hearts, fearing that the barbarians or the Jin people would attack one day and all the industries in the city would be destroyed.

In Xie Xian's plan, Tongguan must acquire property. Only with industry and a say in the local area can there be a basis for cooperation. Otherwise, how can the locals trust a force that can run away at any time?

The camp guards are weak and outnumbered. Apart from the Black Stone Guards, there are soldiers from several other guard posts in Wubao. In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, they are just cannon fodder that can be consumed at will, but in Xie Xian's eyes, they are potential partners.

Where does cooperation come from? Real money and real gold have always been able to move people's hearts.

There are 100,000 border troops, 20,000 Black Stone Guards, and more than 30,000 people from Wubao and other camps and guards. If these 50,000 people unite, the emperor will have to think twice.

It's just that they are used to acting independently, and under Yang Mao's instigation of "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors", not hating each other is already the best outcome.

"The lady said that this shop was opened for the brothers in Wei Zhong, so that everyone will have a place to stay in the city in the future." Si Ji said with a smile.

"My lady is really thoughtful." The military camp is more than ten miles away from Tongguan City, and it is not very convenient for them to go back and forth. The most important thing is that everyone has little money, so gradually they don't like to come to the city anymore.

According to Xie Xian's plan, one of the three shops would be a restaurant, one would be a grocery store, and the other would be a store for selling cattle and sheep leathers.

Since you are doing business, you should do it well. Tongguan is a vast area with few people, wide roads, and the houses are built quite roughly. The backyards of the three shops are connected together, which is also a large area. After some renovation and installation of kangs, it will be much more comfortable than the inn.

Everyone followed Si Ji to the backyard to meet Qu Qing.

"The supplies here are too scarce," Qu Qing frowned. According to the plan of the female monarch, she wanted to open a restaurant, but now she has failed at the first step. Without a stable channel to obtain food, she can only take it slowly.

The people of Tongguan are tough and the shops that can run smoothly on the street have a lot of stories behind them.

Now, the people behind the newly opened shop turned out to be from the Wei camp, which made many forces feel uneasy.

During the years when the Wei camps were suppressed, the aristocratic families behind them were also declining step by step. Although they were rotated every three years, many of the Wei camps had transformed from strong infantry soldiers at the beginning to the weak ones today, which was the result of compromise among all parties.

Governor Yang Mao appears to be impartial on the surface, but secretly allows the military inspector Hou Liang to suppress the guard camp. The patrol mission remains unchanged, but the location will eventually become more remote.

Just like boiling a frog in warm water, their manpower was wasted in one mission after another, making the soldiers in the guard camp feel that life was hopeless and they were a group of people who were abandoned.

When they lose even the last bit of ability to resist, they will be divided up.

But the direction of things was beyond anyone's control. The changes began at the end of last year, when a group of defeated soldiers were sent back to the Black Stone Guard for rest. In the correspondence, the stagnant Black Stone Guard camp suddenly became confident. From being timid at the beginning to being unscrupulous now, this made Yang Mao, the governor of Tongguan, extremely puzzled.

When Jiang Wu heard Si Ji say that the queen was on the way, he suddenly became excited. He took out a thin booklet from his arms, with "Thirty-Six Strategies" written on it and a line of small words underneath it: The Art of Thirty-Six Strategies in the Workplace.

He was filled with emotion, "Thanks to the military book given by the lady, otherwise we wouldn't have survived until today." He had almost given up hope at that moment.

Niu Er wrote to say that he and others were being taught by the queen to study military books, and that she got a book from somewhere and sent it over.

Siji looked at the cover and it seemed to have an extra line of small words compared to the version they were studying, but it probably didn’t matter!

I don’t understand what thick black means.

Jiang Wu excitedly turned to the first page.

1: Understand and apply the rules when slacking off in the workplace.

2: Where interests are exchanged, justice appears on the surface but business is the real purpose.

Three: Plan for the long term and get money promptly.

4: All the attacks on the issue but not on the person are just a cover.

Jiang Wu looked modest. "This military book contains profound theories. I have only learned the basics."

Si Ji looked at this colleague. In the past, Jiang Wu was a well-known honest man in the Second Guard. He hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and now he felt strange.
