The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 54 Sun Jie's Arrangement

When Wang Bi left, Sun Jie gave him some money.

Honey Pavilion was like stealing money, and Sun Jie's pockets were also bulging.

This time he was going on a long journey with him, so he naturally had to let him settle his family down.

There is a lot of silver, almost more than 100 taels.

More than 100 taels of silver, equivalent to the Ming system, is more than six catties.

In a famine year, with so much money on your body, even in Xi'an Mansion, it may not be completely safe.

Sun Jie asked Zhao Dading to take a few strong men to guard him back.

On the way back, Wang Bi bought a lot of daily necessities.

There is a lot of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and I also bought a lot of cloth in cloth village.

There were a lot of them, and it was hard to carry them by myself, so I bought another wheelbarrow.

Pushing a cart full of goods, he returned home under the escort of Zhao Dading.

After safely delivering Wang Bi to the place, Zhao Dading went back.

On the second day, Sun Chuwen asked someone to send the money over.

Money is not a lot, but only a part of it.

Although Qin Shang also had money, it was not concentrated in the hands of Sun Chuwen alone.

The money is basically stored in the cellars of each household.

Most of them are silver winter melons, which are bulky and heavy, making them difficult to carry.

In ancient times, it was not as safe as it is now, and it was inconvenient for money houses. For safety reasons, these Qin merchants cast silver into silver melons one after another.

It is said to be silver winter melon, but it is actually one ball after another.

Not to mention the large size, the weight is also very heavy.It is not that simple for an ordinary person to lift a silver winter melon with no stress point.

After counting the amount of money, Sun Jie asked someone to dig a cellar in the middle of the backyard.

With a lot of strong men in hand, and a complete set of tools, digging out a cellar is still very simple.

Store all these silver winter melons in the cellar, and press them down with stones.

In about two or three days, Qin Shang's money was finally raised.

All of them were stored in the cellar by Sun Jie, because there were too many, more than one cellar was dug.

These silver wax gourds can prevent theft very well, and the ground is cleaned up and paved with bluestone slabs again.

If it weren't for insiders, no one would have thought that there are a large number of silver winter melons buried underground in the backyard.

It's time to start. After wasting so much time in Xi'an, it's time to go back and have a look.

After arranging everything, and leaving three or four strong guards at home, Sun Jie set out on the road.

It was the same carriage as before, with Sun Jie sitting on it and Zhao Dading leading the way.

After all, Wang Bi was the one who manipulated the pen, so he was not physically strong, so Sun Jie asked him to ride in the same carriage as him.

When they left the city gate, the soldiers in their hands let them go without any hindrance.

Out of the city all the way to the north, on the bumpy official road.

It was midsummer, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and everyone was extremely hot.

But in order to hurry, everyone didn't say anything.

All the way, it entered the territory of Fuping County.

I didn't meet any blind thieves on the road, so the journey was peaceful.

Sitting at the back of the carriage, Wang Bi looked at the undulating earthen walls on both sides of the road, wondering what he was thinking.

As dusk approached, the carriage turned a corner and arrived at the station.

From far away, you can see the mighty tents over there, stretching out far away.

In the fields in the distance, there are people working in colorful clothes, which made Wang Bi curious.

He has never seen this kind of clothes before, and now it seems a bit strange.

His eyes moved away from these people and came to the tent over there.

I was even more puzzled.

Looking back at Sun Jie who was sitting in front of the car, he was full of doubts.

The carriage gradually moved forward, and Wang Bi saw the strong man who was training not far from the station.

These strong men were all wearing the same clothes, the same armor, the same iron helmets on their heads, and the same weapons in their hands.

Under Chen Hu's guidance, he practiced the moves step by step.

Looking at these strong men who had already begun to show their demeanor, Wang Bi's face was filled with horror.

There is a saying in "Law of the Ming Dynasty": Forging armor privately is a serious crime of treason.

Wang Bi didn't believe that Sun Jie didn't know this.

Sun Jie got out of the car and came to Wang Bi's side.

"Are you wondering why I have so many strong men in armor?" Sun Jie looked at Wang Bi with a calm expression.

There was no wave on his face, he was already used to all this.

Wang Bi jumped off the carriage, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He just quietly looked at the strong men who were training in the distance, without saying a word.

He hasn't recovered from the shock yet, the scene in front of him is really scary.

"Now is the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the world is already rotten. Don't look at the thief Gao Yingxiang who has been killed, but who knows the future path?
There are no soldiers and horses in hand, but lambs waiting to be slaughtered.You are also aware of my business. Do you think I can live so well without these people as my support? "Sun Jie's tone was calm.

Wang Bi raised his head to look at Sun Jie, and said in a low voice, "Sir, are these soldiers and horses you trained really for self-protection?"

Wang Bi is not an idiot, all these strong men in front of him are armored, they are even more elite than those guarding the city in Xi'an Mansion, I am afraid it is not that simple.

Although he has some skills, he is still just an ordinary person after all. It is normal to be surprised when he sees this kind of scene. If there is no reaction, it will make people suspicious.

"What do you think?" Sun Jie looked at Wang Bi with a smile, without further words.

Chen Hu naturally saw Sun Jie, let the strong men practice by themselves, and walked this way.

"Tiger!"

Sun Jie greeted and walked towards Chen Hu.

"I won't force you either, if you want to leave, you have to think about it..."

Sun Jie's voice drifted over.

Wang Bi looked at Sun Jie's back, and the surprise on his face gradually disappeared.

Zhao Dading came from behind, patted Wang Bi's shoulder, and said, "You should know what kind of person your lord is, remember your kindness, and don't be an ungrateful person!"

After speaking, he also followed in Sun Jie's footsteps and went forward.

Wang Bi stood there blankly, like a wire stake.

The strong men brought by Zhao Dading dragged the carriage back to the stable.

Only Wang Bi was left here, and a gust of wind blew up his clothes.

Not long after, he took a step towards Sun Jie.

Faster and faster, and finally started running.

Panting, he stopped in front of Sun Jie, bowed his hands and bowed to the end.

"The lives of the next family are all given by the adults. Whatever the adults tell me to do, I can do whatever I want. There is no two hearts!"

With his head down, his voice was loud, like a Hong Zhong.

Wang Bi has made up his mind, and even changed his address.

I used to call Sun Jie Mr., but now I have become an adult.

Sun Jie was asking Chen Hu about the situation in front of the young man, and when he saw Wang Bi's condition, he smiled and helped him up.

Sun Jie said in a warm voice, "Since that's the case, then you can work here with peace of mind.

I will send someone to take care of your family, so don't worry about it.If you're worried, I can take them over. "

"Everything is arranged by the adults!" Wang Bi replied solemnly again.

Sun Jie nodded, and looked at Chen Hu again, "You are training with these strong men now, I will take him to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment first."

After explaining the matter, Sun Jie took the Wang pen and started wandering around.

First, I went to the place where the common people lived. The tents here are relatively dense. Sun Jie introduced the situation here one by one.

"There are now more than 3000 people stationed here, four to five hundred of whom are former captives of thieves.

There are more than 300 ordinary people, and more than [-] strong soldiers and horses..."

While talking and introducing, he gradually walked out of the station.

Came to the place where Liang Wu was.

Several brick kilns, cement kilns, and lime kilns have taken shape.

But those captives were still busy on the construction site, and the surrounding strong men held weapons and guarded all around.

There are several wooden pillars next to the construction site, on which several wounded captives are tied.

You don't even need to think about it to know what's going on. The captives tied to the pillars either don't do anything, or want to escape, or resist.

"These people here are thieves and captives, so don't be polite to them. These people's hands are covered with blood. Only in this way can they wash away their sins!"

Sun Jie pointed at the rogue captives on the construction site and spoke in detail.

"Since these people are captives of bandits, why not just kill them all?" Wang Bi looked at Sun Jie and asked.

It's not that Wang Bi is ruthless, Wang Bi knows exactly what quality these people are.

In the years when Gao Yingxiang was making trouble, bandits were everywhere around the Xi'an mansion. At that time, people were panicked and rumors in the city were constant.

Coupled with Sun Chuanting's propaganda in the city, Wang Bi naturally knew who these people were.

In his opinion, these thieves who rob houses and do all kinds of crimes should be hacked to death immediately.

"Kill them? Hmph!"

Sun Jie snorted coldly: "It's too cheap to kill them, let them slowly enjoy this endless torture!"

Walking forward with his hands behind his back, Liang Wu, who was guarding the captives of the thieves, also hurried to this side.

When he came to Sun Jie, he bowed his hands in salute.

"What's the situation now? What happened to those thieves on the pillars?" Sun Jie asked, pointing to the pillars not far away.

Liang Wu knew Wang Bi, and the three of them worked under Wang Bi before.

Liang Wu glanced at Wang Bi, and replied: "Those dogs wanted to run away in the middle of the night, but my soldiers caught them.

They still refused to admit it, and I beat them severely, and then tied them to the pillars.Life and death are up to fate, whether they can live or not depends on their good fortune! "

"That's fine, if you don't deter them well, I'm afraid they will still be unconvinced!"

Sun Jie walked forward again, Liang Wu hurriedly took several strong men to protect him.

We came to the front of the cement kiln. This cement kiln was built according to the information Sun Jie had collected in modern times.

The cement kiln is almost finished, and there is another half-built cement kiln not far away.

Ma Jinzhong held a shovel and kept leveling the land next to the cement kiln.

Seeing Sun Jie approaching, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look.

The arrogance on his body has long since disappeared, and his eyes are full of fear.

There was even a very obvious welt on his face, obviously, he had been beaten a lot.

Sun Jie just glanced at him lightly, and then set his eyes on the cement kiln again.

It's not like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. Now that he is in his own hands, how can he do evil in the future?

Walking around the cement kiln, Sun Jie was very satisfied with the final result.

I went to the brick kiln and lime kiln next to me to have a look. They were almost the same as the cement kiln. Basically all of them were completed, and half of the new ones were built.

According to the current speed of construction, it won't be long before there will be a lot more on this land.

After these things are settled, the next step is coal.

Coal is an essential resource, and coal is indispensable if it wants to develop vigorously in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and things need to be done step by step, no matter how anxious you are, it will not help.

As night fell, the dinner was sumptuous, with pieces of bacon boiled in the thick rice porridge, and Wang Bi ate it with relish.

Sun Jie was sitting next to him, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, talking while eating: "I let you come here because of your care and ability.

Now you can also see that the situation is probably like this.There are only so many people now, if I can manage it, I can manage it, but after all, I have things to do, so I leave these things to you.

All logistical matters on the station will be entrusted to you.Tomorrow, I will introduce you to the people here. From now on, the people's livelihood and logistics will depend on you! "

Wang Bi's hand holding the bowl trembled, almost lost his grip, and dropped the bowl to the ground.

He originally thought that Sun Jie only asked him to do some small things, some big and insignificant things, but he never expected that he would entrust such a big thing to himself.

It doesn't look like there are many people on the site, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with the number of people.

Preconceived, once I accept this errand.

In the future, with the continuous expansion of the resident and the continuous increase of the population, the power in one's hands will also continue to grow.

Unless you are a confidant who is in charge of a party's logistics and people's livelihood, how could it possibly be involved?
Wang Bi hurriedly put down the rice bowl in his hand, and stood in front of Sun Jie respectfully.

"My lord values ​​it so much, I really don't know how to repay it!"

Wang Bi looked shocked, and bowed to Sun Jie, bowing to the end.

This is to value oneself, this is to regard oneself as one of his own, that is to say, from today onwards, he is Sun Jie's hard-core confidant.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman tolerates a person who pleases her.

When a person has fallen to the extreme and is suddenly appreciated by others, the feeling of being valued cannot be understood by ordinary people.

A few months ago, I was just a down and out poor accountant.

However, after a short period of time, not only did my family have enough food and clothing, but they also transformed themselves, and they also had a lot of power in their hands.

If Sun Jie's territory continues to expand in the future, then his own will also rise with the tide!
