The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 182 Others
Eight thousand new troops.

The monthly salary is at least 5 taels of silver.

Plus other subsidies or something.

The monthly expenditure on the new army is almost 8 taels.

Almost a million a year.

This award for the assault battalion is nothing.

Back to the provincial capital together.

The news that a nest of bandits had been wiped out also spread in the provincial capital.

A big family in the provincial capital went directly to invite Runtu.

He is the president of the chamber of commerce in the provincial capital.

He has a lot of business under his hands.

Runtu also has quite a few businesses in the provincial capital.

Someone sent an invitation, and he had to go and see it.

Runtu only brought Gui Lao Qi there.

Yigao is bold, has cheats, and is invincible in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When you come here, they have done a good job of etiquette.

Come and pick me up.

"But Mr. Zhang, I finally saw you today."

"President Tan."

The Tan family is a big family in the provincial capital.

The business is doing great.

There are also people in the officialdom.

"Master Zhang, I have seen the raw silk, medicinal materials, and rice in Jiashan. The things in your place are much better than those in other places."

Take Runtu and the others home.

Food and drink were arranged.

Most of the conversation was about business matters.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have such a thorough understanding of business matters. There are still a lot of low-quality raw silk on the market, and there are even fake ones."

Runtu: "It's easy to distinguish. The luster of real silk fabrics is soft and natural, bright and not dazzling, while the luster of fake silk fabrics is bright, but not soft and dazzling. Although the luster is uniform, there are bright spots or strips of bright silk, and some have poor luster, as if coated with a layer of wax.

Secondly, you can use the method of folding, pinch the fabric tightly with your hands and then release it. Because of its good elasticity, real silk has no creases, while rayon fabrics have obvious creases and will not quickly return to their original shape.

You can also use the method of grinding. The silk fabric is resistant to friction because of the sericin protection on the surface of the silk. When the dry silk fabrics are rubbed against each other, a unique sound of silk will be emitted, which is called silk sound.

You can also use the method of pulling, take out a few fibers from the edge, moisten them with your tongue, lift the two ends of the silk and pull hard.If it is false, the dry and wet elasticity is different, and the wet place is easy to break, and the broken fibers at the broken end are in the shape of tufts of different lengths. "

"Master Zhang is an expert, come and drink."

"Master Zhang, I heard that you have built an arsenal in Jiashan. I want to ask if you can sell some guns."

There are less than a thousand guns in the factory every month.

The output is not great.

The words of the new army are enough.

It's not impossible for others to buy it.

In addition to its own use, the factory also thought it could be used to make money.

Nowadays, many large private households have guns ready.

Runtu: "Yes, but the quantity is not too much. How much does Chairman Tan need?"

"One hundred. For the caravan."

"There is no problem with this quantity. I will send someone to deliver it when I go back. The price will be ten oceans."

Only a thousand oceans were sold here.

Drank a lot of wine.

The stamina of this wine is very strong.

It doesn't have much impact on Runtu, but Gui Laoqi is already confused.

Before we knew it, it was already afternoon.

President Tan stayed with the two of them for a day.

Gui Laoqi was so drunk that he was taken to the room by the housekeeper.

Runtu continued to drink with them.

It doesn't matter how much he drinks, even if he is with everyone present.

After a while, Runtu also returned to the room, very close to Gui Laoqi.

But Runtu heard a woman's voice.

The voice was getting louder and louder, as if she was still crying.

"Is it Gui Laoqi's room?"

Runtu pushed open the door directly, and found that there was a woman wearing only a bellyband on Gui Lao Qi's bed.

"Master Zhang, what happened?"

"it's okay no problem."

Close the door and back out.

A lot of people from the Tan Mansion came over.

"He's drunk, it's not that uncomfortable to replace him with hangover soup."

Open the door, "Xiaohong! This?"

The girl in the room began to cry.

There was too much movement, and Gui Laoqi also woke up, seeing someone beside him, he didn't know what was going on.

Just dressed her up.

The alcohol was too strong, and he still felt dizzy for a while.

"Xiao Hong, what is going on here?"

This girl is President Tan's maid.

Xiaohong replied, "When I delivered clothes to the general, he, he left me behind."

After speaking, I cried again.

Wearing so little, everyone knows what's going on, obviously.

Gui Laoqi was still dumbfounded.

But the people around were not calm.

"Well, you villain, dare to bully people in our house, I will kill you."

One of the servants of the Tan family took a weapon and went towards Gui Laoqi.

Gui Laoqi had a headache, but fortunately he dodged it.

Runtu went forward to separate the two.

Asked, "Ghost Seventh, what's going on?"

Gui Laoqi was a little confused, but now his consciousness became clearer.

"My lord, I don't know either. I forgot everything. I don't know if I really did it or was tricked. But in my consciousness, I did notice the skin-to-skin relationship with this girl."

It's a little embarrassing to say.

Even more ashamed, the head of the new army was careless when such a thing happened.

The people in Tan's house still looked like they were fighting against each other. They wanted to vent their anger on Gui Laoqi, but they were stopped by Runtu.

"Master Zhang, I will kill this disciple."

Dash again.

He was stopped by Runtu again.

Several people go together.

The noise is getting bigger and bigger.

Seven or eight people besieged Runtu, but they were knocked to the ground by Runtu at a speed visible to the naked eye.

President Tan also came over at this time.

"Master Zhang, what happened?"

"Maybe there was a bit of a misunderstanding."

Someone told the president what happened here.

"Although it's just a servant girl in the mansion, Master Zhang, you should give me an explanation."

"What explanation does the president want?" Runtu was puzzled, lost money?Desperate.Gui Laoqi has been with him for so long, and he hasn't done anything wrong for such a long time. What happened today is rather strange.

Runtu should check it out carefully.

President Tan: "Married her."

Runtu: "Success."

The old president said a few words, and everyone present retreated.

Only the one named Xiaohong was left in Gui Laoqi's room.

Such a thing happened to a woman these days, she was basically ashamed to live, and marrying her was the best result.

Runtu directly made the decision and agreed to this matter.

the next day.

Runtu and Gui Laoqi are about to leave the Tan Mansion.

Suddenly there was one more person, and Gui Laoqi was still a little uncomfortable.

He found Runtu and said, "My lord, do you really want to take her with you?"

"What's the matter? I despise him and don't deserve you? It's okay for a girl to grow up."

"That's not what it means. It would be inconvenient to bring her along. Could it be a trap."

I was a bit confused that day, but after a day, Gui Laoqi thought for a long time. He was so drunk yesterday that he shouldn't be able to do anything excessive, and he did things in a daze, which is not very scientific.

"Then what do you want to do? Start chaotically and end up abandoning?"

Gui Laoqi, "It always feels like a trap."

"It's okay, take it back." Runtu didn't care much.

The new army was stunned.

It's just that after not seeing him for a day, Gui Laoqi brought a woman over.

We started to go back to Jiashan together.

The overall situation in the provincial capital is good.

But still can't survive.

Not to mention the provincial capital, even the capital city has many beggars.

"Grandpa, do me a favor and give me a stutter."

There are even some who sell their sons and daughters.

"It's really hard to support, sir, I don't want money, you take it away, I beg you to give me food."

An old man is selling two girls.

Only then did Runtu stop.

Along the way, I asked several people, seven or eight women, and a dozen men.

Runtu chooses a man, and the woman must be decent-looking.Male nature is better.

If these two conditions are met, a lot of people are needed.

Now that they have met, give them a chance to survive and accumulate virtue.

Bring enough dry food.

It's inconvenient to fight bandits, so I just eat dry food.

Especially Runtu and his team usually eat compressed biscuits and beef jerky, just for convenience.

A ration was given to each newcomer.

"Remember to eat slowly, this stuff is too dry, just drink it with water."

For refugees, it is undoubtedly delicious.

It took a few days to arrive in Jiashan.

A large group of people went directly into a big restaurant.

None of them imagined that they could live such a life.

A lot of dishes were put on the table, all cooked food, many hot dishes.

In the past few days, they have almost forgotten their status as refugees.

The older ones are better, but the younger ones can't help it, so they eat it directly.

Their only regret is that they have to leave their hometown, but the family can no longer survive.

Thinking of such a master, I still have some expectations for my future life.

Today's life is better than what they had before.

It is not easy to have enough food and clothing.

"You must be obedient, do more and talk less. Such a good boss is rare. Grandpa is not in good health, so he may not be able to stay with you for too long." The old refugee asked his two granddaughters, who are not in good health. Fortunately, the two granddaughters are settled, so even if they are gone, they can go there with peace of mind.

Listening to Grandpa's words, the two girls began to sob.

"Don't dare to cry, don't annoy the boss."

Nobody likes a crying person.

The two girls also quickly stopped crying.

But it was still seen by Runtu.

Walked over, "The food is delicious. When you arrive in Jiashan, old man, you will be responsible for watching the gate. Your two granddaughters will do some work of serving tea and water. If they are smart, they will be able to learn to read and write."

Runtu arranged them properly.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man was very excited, and began to faint when he was excited.The whole person staggered.

Runtu saw that something was wrong with him.Observe his body.Good guy, there are too many impurities in the body, and a lot of toxins have accumulated, probably because he ate too many weird things.

Not to mention it could be fatal.

Find a room.

Medical skills combined with space skills and ginseng herbs helped him remove impurities and toxins from his body, so he could live for a few more years.

It is not a matter of heaven to extend people's lives.

After the operation, Runtu felt a little weak.

A lot of filth came out of the old man's body.

He instantly felt a lot calmer.

Knowing that this matter has a lot to do with Runtu, I only know that Runtu is a wealthy family, but I didn't expect that there is such a good medical skill, and it is best to survive, so I gave Runtu a few more knocks.

"Thank you uncle."

"Get up quickly, you don't need to kneel down here from now on."

"My lord, your complexion is not very good."

Gui Laoqi saw that Runtu's condition was not right.

"Just saving people, I spent some energy."

"Master, please take care of yourself."

Nothing can happen to Runtu, there are tens of 10 people who rely on Runtu for food.

During the past few days, I also encountered bandits.

These days, basically everywhere, there are people who can't survive and become bandits.It's just that there are Gui Laoqi and the others, and there are indeed bandits who are here to make trouble, but they are all here to deliver food.

Runtu didn't even want to do it himself.

There are very few big waves of bandits.

Neither scaled.

There may be dozens or hundreds of them, even if they are relatively large-scale.

The accompanying refugees were very afraid of the bandits, but seeing the bravery of Gui Laoqi and the others, the fear disappeared.

Jiashan's road repairs are now very good.

At least the surrounding roads are well repaired.

In this way, the speed will be very fast.

Jiashan set up an escort agency here.

Call logistics more appropriate.

Don't rely too much on others, rely on Cao Gang.

We also have to set up our own logistics system.

Runtu called Gui Laoqi over: "Go to the arsenal and buy a hundred guns, and send them to President Tan in the provincial capital. Ten thousand rounds of bullets. Also, look, set a date, and take care of you and that little Hong. Xiaohong looks good and is easy to give birth to. Don't think too high of your vision now."

Gui Laoqi quickly said no.

Directly set the date as three days later.

He didn't even think about marrying a rich lady.

Alcohol is no fun.

After putting people to sleep, I still can't be sure whether I have slept or not.

A hazy feeling.

Go to the arsenal to arrange a courier delivery of the gun.

They're all single shot rifles.

Much more powerful than bows and arrows.

Runtu: "Go and call the Minister of Logistics."

After a while, Jiashan's logistics boss came over.

Now some cities near Jiashan have opened up the routes.

Logistics is a great help to business.

This is also one of the reasons why Runtu specializes in road construction.

Ship things faster.

Generally speaking, it is similar to the post office.

The earlier ones were called Post Stations and Escort Bureaus.

Explained some things.

A hundred guns were arranged to be sent to the provincial capital.

The car used for the journey in Jiashan.

Arrived at a station, changed into a carriage.

There are signs of Jiashan on the carriages.

I believe that no blind bandit has come to rob.

Those who dare to rob, thousands of new troops go directly together.

If you are an escort agency, you have conditions.

There are strong backers in the government.There are hard ties in Greenwood.I have hard work.

Skilled martial arts people in the society gradually come together through assembly and mutual introduction, and then form an escort agency to walk the escort.

Just like the Great Sword King Wu in the capital before.

Martial arts family.

Generations are families of kung fu, this is the easiest and most united, and it is easy to form a family of bodyguards.

And there are soldiers.Veterans who have been on the battlefield.They are known to know kung fu at different levels, and being a soldier together is also recognized as one of the best relationships. This kind of relationship forms the escort agency with the most loyalty, and the relationship with the government is not too bad.

When you encounter a pass, take out your pass and show it to the officers and soldiers.In order to avoid entanglement, the bodyguard sometimes slipped some silver taels to them.
