Passing through the station

Selecting four out of five, to Ruan Bai, is simply an outrageously high admission rate; but to others, especially the five people involved, they don't see it that way at all.

The two people Tian Kaifu found, of course, went back directly with Ruan Bai and the others.

The two men sat on the bullock cart, only dared to shrink at the door, not knowing where to put their hands and feet: "The little man should get out of the cart and run after him?"

Ruan Bai was impatient, and glanced over coldly: "I'll let you sit down." The two skinny people were slightly better than Tang Xinhou, and even if they wanted to exercise, they were not in this state.

The two men shrank even tighter, like two bundles of firewood leaning against the door, with all kinds of panic on their faces.

Ruan Bai didn't understand their thinking at all, and whispered to Tian Kaifu: "Why don't you take a car?" Even if the current bullock cart can only be regarded as a truck, it is not comfortable at all, but it is still a car, right?

Tian Kaifu then explained in a low voice: "With two 'nobles'..." He pointed at himself and Ruan Bai with his finger, "Sitting together is against the rules. They are afraid in their hearts."

"Great man?" Ruan Bai gestured at himself and Tian Kaifu with his fingers, showing an inexplicable expression, then rolled his eyes, and glanced at the carport full of various goods and smells, "Your honor is sitting here Bullock cart?"

Tian Kaifu couldn't help laughing, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Ruan Bai's head, the softness was more comfortable than touching the big and small fat, no wonder Chu Hao always did this.He immediately realized that he was too close, and quickly withdrew his hand: "I'm sorry, brother Ruan...puh ha ha ha!" Is it no wonder that Ruan Bai called Ergou?

Ruan Bai's face was full of black lines, and Si Yu looked at this cowardly guy, not only stroking his head like a puppy, but also laughing!what's so funny?Forget it!

The distance from Shunyang Pass to Huangyi is only ten miles. The cattle of the Huns are faster than ordinary cattle, and they arrived in a short time.

Tian Kaifu wanted to apologize several times on the road, but he laughed a few times as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't stop in the end, holding his stomach full of tears.Now when he sees Ruan Bai, he thinks of Ruan Ergou, and then the chubby big fat and chubby... If you put the three chubby together...

"puff!"

Tian Kaifu couldn't walk at all, and almost fell when he got off the bullock cart, and then squatted in the yard like a pit, clutching his stomach and screaming.

Liniang and Madam Ma covered their mouths, laughed softly and walked away.A Qiang and Pan Daning had to drive the ox cart forward a little to unload the goods smoothly.As for the two extremely talented people, they were all stupid.

Ruan Bai didn't even look at Tian Kaifu, who was broken, and said to the two men: "Come with me. The station has not been built yet, and we live in the original barren post. There are no servants here, and we have to eat and drink. You have to do it yourself, but everyone is nice, if you don’t understand anything, just ask..."

The two men lowered their heads, not daring to take a look, followed closely behind Ruan Bai, circled the desolate post, and finally stopped in front of a room.

The door was pushed open, and there was a bunk inside, which was big enough to sleep five burly men, and it was not a problem at all to sleep five reed sticks.Because of the arrival of Xiao Xizi and the imperial guards, the room has everything that should be there, and there is no need to add anything else.

"You are staying here for the time being, there are three more people coming in a while, you arrange the rest of the time yourself, see what is missing, and tell me later."

The two men seemed to tremble for a moment, and it took several beats before they said: "Yes, my lord." Looking at Ruan Bai's walking figure, they sniffed hard and wiped their eyes.

They say it's an auxiliary army, but in this place where even the real soldiers can hardly get enough to eat, few of them can live past the age of 30.In war, they also have to fight, the Huns' knives don't care whether they are soldiers or auxiliary troops.

But even so, as an auxiliary army, at least there is still a mouthful of food, if it is in the hometown...

The other person took a deep breath and put his light burden on the kang.He looked at the furoshiki covered with patches, then at the tidy kang bed, and held the burden in his hands again. He looked around and saw that they were all clean and tidy. He looked down at his tattered clothes and his bare toes. Shoes, can't help feeling ashamed.

"Don't worry about it. My lord said just now that if you don't know, you can ask others. Let's tidy up quickly and ask someone." He gritted his teeth and put the burden on the ground, but even this ground looked cleaner than the burden.

"You are right. My lord said that there are three more people coming. Just now, my lord Tian said that there are only four postmen, so we can't be driven back."

"If you can live in such a good house, don't go back to the barracks even if you die! Let's see where we can help. The adults said that the post station has not been built yet, but we can't eat dry food."

Not to mention how the two men planned, after an hour, Chu Hao came back.Xu Wu followed behind him, along with Xu Wu's two clan brothers and Tang Xinhou.

Except for Tang Xinhou who was still cowering, the faces of the Xu family brothers were all beaming with joy.Compared with other auxiliary troops, they have a brother who is the general banner to take care of them, and their life is not bad.But can being an auxiliary army be compared to working under Ruan Bai?Xu Wu had told them a long time ago that he lived in a newly built house, slept on a warm kang bed, and could see the smell of meat immediately after eating.

When Xu Wu brought people over, Ruan Bai was drawing something at his desk, Tian Kaifu watched from the sidelines, shrugging his shoulders and laughing twice from time to time, then Ruan Bai would frown slightly, and occasionally put Tian Kaifu pushed aside.

Seeing this, Chu Hao was dissatisfied with Tian Kaifu's unprecedented dissatisfaction, so he didn't say a word, just sat down on the kang, picked up the cup in Ruan Bai's hand, and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

In my own home, the conditions are of course better than in restaurants outside.Although the teapot is filled with boiled water, there is a teapot barrel outside the teapot in the house.The water that was boiled when Ruan Bai came back was still not cold when Chu Hao came back to drink it now.

Chu Hao came all the way on horseback. Although he has long been used to it, it is inevitable that he will be a little dry from the wind. After drinking a glass of warm water, he will feel at ease. After touching Ruan Ergou's dog's head, he will feel even more at ease. .

Tian Kai had already stopped laughing when he recovered, and immediately arched his back when he saw this scene: "Pfft!" I didn't think so before, but now it looks more and more like petting a puppy.

Ruan Bai didn't bother to deal with Tian Kaifu, so he slapped Chu Hao's paw away, and stood up: "Come with me, Xu Wu, you don't have to follow."

As soon as Ruan Bai spoke, Xu Wu naturally stopped in his tracks.He still led the three people around the desolate post, and saw two people chopping firewood outside the woodshed: "Don't worry, put your things down and follow me."

When the two Xu family brothers saw the two people, their hearts skipped a beat.

When the five people stood still in the room again, Ruan Bai said straight to the point: "There are five of you, and I can only keep four. I will give you a month to perform well." Or it doesn't take a month, he can make a decision.

Among the five people, except for Tang Xinhou who lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, the expressions of the remaining four people all changed.But the two who came earlier were already prepared, so they were not too surprised.The two brothers of the Xu family were a little doubtful, so they finally stopped talking.

Ruan Bai glanced at him: "I already know the place. Let's take a good rest today and have dinner in half an hour. We'll talk about the specifics tomorrow."

When he came out of the room, he was startled by Chu Hao who was silently guarding the door: "What are you doing?"

Chu Hao looked at Ruan Ergou who was calm on the surface, and keenly noticed the incoherence in his movements.Well, I was really scared!With a serious face, he raised the paper in his hand: "What are you drawing? A city?"

Ruan Bai was not angry when he saw that Chu Hao brought over the blueprint he had drawn for a long time, anyway, he would see it sooner or later, and he also planned to ask Chu Hao for advice: "Such a small place, isn't it a city? I'm just going to fence off a piece of land around it and keep the housing estates and barns a little further apart. And put a waterwheel on that stretch of the river... a water mill..."

Chu Hao saw that he was talking in a quieter voice, apparently lost in his own thoughts.He was amazed by what was on the drawing.Even if it's just a floor plan, he can see the scale after completion.The city with a square meter of hundreds of feet is actually just an understatement in Ruan Bai's mouth, "such a small place"... He is really looking forward to the completion of this city, and Master Cao doesn't know what expression he will have.

Ruan Bai didn't know what Chu Hao was thinking, he really didn't plan to build a city, but just planned to build a community.On average, a square with a side length of about 300 meters has an area of ​​[-] square meters, which is not enough for a large community.What's more, he only planned to build a wall, not a city wall, and he didn't plan to dig any moat... Well, the small river outside probably needs to be dug, at least a diversion canal must be made...

Chu Hao sighed, and led Ergou to the kitchen. On the way, he saw two merchants who came in with Pan Daning: "You two can talk about things tomorrow."

Hu Shang and Niu Shang looked at each other, looked at Ruan Bai who was wandering too far away, and then looked at Chu Hao who seemed very kind and simple, lowered his head and took his various goods, and found the room where he stayed last time, which happened to be Door to door.

Niu merchants didn't think much of Hu Laoliu, a wandering merchant who looked like the bottom of the class, but thinking about what happened to Ruan Bai before, he thought it would be better to restrain his temper, and took the lead in saying hello: "My surname is Niu, from the capital city. Shi, I don't know how to call this brother?"

Hu Laoliu looked up at the cattle merchant, and smiled kindly: "Brother Niu, you are welcome. My younger brother Hu Laoliu is from Xijing. I don't know why Brother Niu came all the way from the capital?"

The Niu merchant narrowed his eyes, and his smile was even brighter: "The master's house is old with the master here, and the new year is approaching, so I specially sent me here to give some New Year's goods." In a word, half-truth and half-false.

Hu Laoliu's business is not as big as that of Niu Shang, but his eyesight is not weak.Of course, he wouldn't just listen to the cattle merchant's words, just looking at the big and small bags around him, they could indeed be called New Year's goods.He chuckled, the smell of a profiteer came to his face, even if he was blind, his nose was not bad!I just don't know what kind of business this profiteer is involved with Mr. Ruan.
