Chapter 553

"Sun Weixuan, come here for a moment!"

Law Tycoon stood at the entrance of the warehouse and shouted. A young man immediately ran over and grabbed the handkerchief on his shoulder to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He said to Law Tycoon, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Law Tycoon pointed at the goods piled up like a mountain in the warehouse and said, "Let me ask you, what's going on? How many days have these goods been piled up? Some of them are about to go bad. Look at these 200 baskets of fresh fruits, they even have the smell of wine. If this continues, the fruits will become fruit wine! "

Sun Weixuan smiled bitterly and said, "Big Boss, it's not that our brothers don't want to work hard. It's just that we're really short of manpower. The second and third masters are fighting over the water weapons and they're already in a frenzy. The two masters have called their brothers back from their clans. In just a short while, we've lost half of the cart drivers and porters …"

Sun Weixuan was in his early twenties. He was tall and strong. His chest was as full as a rock, his arm muscles were knotted, and his handsome face was always smiling. He was very popular, especially with women. Every time his brothers made a long trip and earned money to spend in the brothel, he could always call the most beautiful girls, but he spent the least money. Sometimes, some girls would even throw themselves at him, which made his brothers extremely envious.

Sun Weixuan was currently the chief manager of the "Luo, Gao, and Li Family Carriage Company". He was also the best coachman. When the other coachmen passed some dangerous sections of the road, they could only move the goods down, carefully pull the carriage up, and then move the goods up one by one. Only he dared to go straight up with the whip, and the animals were all obedient under him.

At the same time, he knew some martial arts, and he was forthright. He was generous and generous, so he was very popular in the carriage company. However, there was another reason why the tycoon chose him to be the chief manager: he was not a direct descendant of Qi Mu.

When Qi Mu was still alive, the chief manager of the carriage company was called Chang Zizai. At that time, Sun Weixuan had only been in the business for a year. Because he was popular, he was often suppressed by Chang Zizai. However, after Qi Mu died, Chang Zizai pulled a group of trusted men to work alone. Only then did Sun Weixuan have the chance to make a name for himself.

The tycoon heard Sun Weixuan's words and couldn't help but frown. "Then we can hire more people. As long as we are willing to spend money, we can hire more people."

Sun Weixuan said awkwardly, "Big boss, you don't know. Although there are many poor families in the county, as long as they still have food to eat, they are not willing to run the post roads to earn the hard money of long-distance transportation. Some people are willing to do this, but their bodies are too weak. If we let those people run long distances, we will have to pay for their funeral when they come back."

Luo Daheng: "…"

Sun Weixuan said, "Also, after Qi Mu died, Chang Zizai pulled a group of people to work alone and established the Chang's carriage company. Recently, a person called Xie Chuanfeng established the Xie's carriage company. They have recruited a lot of people from us and poached a few of our best carriage drivers. We don't have enough people. "

The tycoon's plump face didn't have a single wrinkle, and his broad forehead was even. At this time, he squeezed out a word and said unhappily, "How can this be? We have a contract with them. If there is a delay in the transportation time, we have to increase the price and compensate."

Sun Weixuan thought about it and said, "Boss, how about this? We will pick the goods that are easily damaged and can't be stored. At the same time, we will try to recruit more people. I really can't think of any other way."

The tycoon rubbed his round chin and thought about it. He shook his head and said, "No! You can take the valuable goods and the goods of our old customers and transport them first. As for the cheaper goods, we can just compensate according to the contract. You have to remember, even if we don't earn a penny from these few trips, we can't ruin our reputation. As for the manpower, continue to recruit people and increase the salary. "

Sun Weixuan nodded and hurried to make arrangements. The tycoon took out a piece of osmanthus cake from his bag and fiercely took a bite. He muttered, "Gao Ya, Li Bohao, these two rascals. Are you going to fight on the mountain every day it doesn't rain?"

…

After Zhao Wenyuan took up his post, the life of the post deputy was quite comfortable. Other than guarding a beautiful woman who was his woman, but he couldn't touch her, there were almost no difficulties in other aspects.

The post stations of the Ming Dynasty were not only transportation hubs, but they also had many military uses, especially those at the border and special places like Guizhou. Therefore, the post station in Gourd County had a special status. As the post deputy, Zhao Wenyuan had eighty horses, sixty donkeys, thirty cows, eight sedan bearers, two hundred and ten couriers, and a hundred and twenty guards. He could be considered a feudal lord in Gourd County. With great power in his hands, he was naturally free and unfettered.

However, Zhao Wenyuan still hadn't made any progress on the task assigned to him by Yang Yinglong.

The previous post deputy of Gourd County was appointed by the imperial court, but this time, Zhao Wenyuan, who had a background in Bozhou, was appointed. It was unknown what the officials of the imperial court were thinking, but for such an important post, it was impossible for them not to investigate Zhao Wenyuan before appointing him. Moreover, it wasn't difficult to investigate Zhao Wenyuan's background.

Zhao Wenyuan was currently familiarizing himself with the operation of the post station and understanding his subordinates. He believed that as long as he used both kindness and authority, he would be able to cultivate a few confidants in time. However, as a post deputy, it was very difficult for him to meddle with matters outside of the post station that had a close relationship with the post road.

This was because a large number of horse and carriage companies were involved in the transport of the post road, and most of these horse and carriage companies had powerful backgrounds. At the very least, they didn't need to rely on a small post deputy like him. His responsibility was only related to the imperial court, and the management of horse and carriage companies along the Gourd County road belonged to Gourd County.

Zhao Wenyuan paced back and forth in the reception pavilion with his hands behind his back. He frowned, unable to think of a suitable idea. Qian Qingqing was wearing a long skirt and a bamboo cloak. She came out from the back with a young maid, looking like she was about to leave.

Seeing Zhao Wenyuan pacing with a heavy heart, Qian Qingqing disdainfully curled her lips and said to the young maid, "Wait outside!" The young maid left first and went into the courtyard. Qian Qingqing asked, "Is it that difficult for you?"

Zhao Wenyuan glanced at her coldly and said, "Do you have a good idea?"

Qian Qingqing said, "I don't have a good idea, but I do know a principle: you have to create an opportunity yourself, or you have to wait for it to appear. You've just been appointed. Even if you can't be re-appointed, you'll still have to be the post deputy for three years. You've only been appointed for a few days, so what are you worried about?"

Zhao Wenyuan said unhappily, "Miss Qingqing, I can't compare to you. I'm not the only person who can be used by Official Yang, and I'm not the only son of my father. They've given me this opportunity. If I don't work hard, I'll disappoint them. If they disappoint me, I'll lose everything. "

Qian Qingqing's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I don't need to work hard?"

Zhao Wenyuan teased, "Of course you do, but don't you need to work hard? You're a woman, ha!"

Qian Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Do you think I'm the Chieftain's woman?"

Zhao Wenyuan laughed coldly, "Of course not! If you are, why would the Chieftain bestow you to me? To be more accurate, you should be the Chieftain's woman in the past. It's just that the Chieftain got tired of playing with you. It's a pity that you're still fantasizing about one day regaining the Chieftain's favor and climbing up the Wutong branch again. "

Qian Qingqing's eyebrows raised as she flew into a rage. However, she didn't flare up. Her face filled with anger suddenly turned into a smile that didn't seem like a smile. She stared at him and said leisurely, "Even if I'm a grey sparrow, I'm not willing to perch on this branch of yours. What can you do to me?"

Zhao Wenyuan was instantly at a loss for words. He really couldn't do anything to Qian Qingqing. Qian Qingqing wasn't his subordinate. She was sent by Yang Yinglong to work with him. In order to hide her identity, she claimed to be his wife. However, Yang Yinglong didn't say that Qian Qingqing had to sleep with him. How could he run to Yang Yinglong to ask for his permission?

Qian Qingqing saw that he was at a loss for words and smiled proudly. She puffed out her chest and walked out like a proud peacock. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Wenyuan, "If you think that waiting for an opportunity is too slow, why don't you create an opportunity yourself?"

Zhao Wenyuan said, "Create an opportunity myself?"

Qian Qingqing said, "The people who rely on this road to make a living are not only businessmen. There are also some bandits and bandits. If they always cause trouble in your territory and you need to send soldiers to protect the road, won't your chances of controlling this road increase greatly?"

Zhao Wenyuan mulled over Qian Qingqing's words and his eyes gradually lit up. When he raised his head again, Qian Qingqing had already walked far away.

Qian Qingqing went to the city to buy some daily necessities. She also wanted to hire a few servants along the way. The relay station was full of men. When she came from Guiyang, she only brought a maidservant that she bought from Guiyang. She couldn't handle all the affairs in the backyard with just one maidservant. Qian Qingqing planned to hire two old women and two maidservants.

Qian Qingqing entered the county town accompanied by her personal maidservant. First, she found a middleman and four maidservants who were born in good families. Then, she asked them to accompany her to the Cross Street to buy some daily necessities for women. She also bought two boxes of pastries and a jar of sweet candy. She wanted to go to the county government office to find out where Yeh Dianshi lived so that she could visit Yaoyao.

Qian Qingqing's main purpose in coming to Gourd County, other than being a support and passing information, was to keep in touch with Ye Xiaotian. In fact, it was to keep in touch with Yaoyao. On the way, Qian Qingqing and Yaoyao rode in the same carriage. She had already maintained a good relationship with this little girl. Yaoyao had a good impression of this Aunt Qingqing.

Qian Qingqing arrived at the entrance of the county government office. She slightly raised her chin and ordered a courier to go forward and ask for Yeh Dianshi's residence. The courier had just walked forward when suddenly three or four bailiffs ran over in panic. They knocked him aside and ran towards the county government office's gate.

These people's noses and faces were swollen. It was obvious that they had been beaten up. As they ran, they shouted, "Hurry and report to the county magistrate. The county magistrate has been … has been captured by the Li Family Village's people. Hurry! If you're late, your life will be in danger! "
