130. Affinity and weirdness(1/2)
This man was ugly when he cried, but now no one would dislike him.
If they encountered this situation, they would probably cry even worse than him.
The people in Hexi Village continued to dig holes silently, and at the same time, some people also set fires and started boiling water and preparing to cook things.
I saw that man was very pitiful. After someone boiled it, someone took out a handful of fried rice from his dry food and soaked it in water and handed it to him.
The man silently ate a bowl of fried rice soaked in bloom, and finally became a little more energetic. At this time, Jiang Zhen asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The man had recovered and he slowly explained.
It turned out that since something happened in Hongjiang Salt Field and several people in charge were killed, many of the people under Hongjiang Salt Field were in chaos.
Some of these people were still doing what they used to do, waiting for the salt farm to stabilize and continue to work for the salt farm, but some people thought that the Hongjiang salt farm was finished, so they planned to escape and make another way to make a living.
And the people of these two sides, no matter which side, are not friendly to the people on the beach. Those salt households will rebel, and will these people who are oppressed and treated unfairly by them also think about beating them?
In fact, if we really want to count it, it is just a huge bandit nest. Now that the bandit leader has passed away, the remaining people in the bandit nest are naturally in chaos, and they almost fight each other, so it is even more impossible for them to show mercy to those people.
This village was looted by people under Hongjiang Salt Field. They killed all the villagers, snatched the money from the villagers, and then left in a swagger.
The reason why this man survived was because he wanted to make money and marry a wife, and went out to sea to fish at night, so he just avoided those people.
However, when he came back from fishing, he happened to see the villagers being killed. He couldn't stand it. In the end, he stayed in his house without food or drink for two days until the movements made by Jiang Zhen and others woke him up.
"What's your name?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"My name is Fang Qi." The man said.
"What are you going to do next? Do you want to follow me?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
"I'll follow you." Fang Qi quickly made a decision. He had no place to go. Where could he go if he didn't follow Jiang Zhen?
The food and money in this village were basically taken away, but Fang Qi took a walk around and got a bag of grain and some salted fish and kelp.
Jiang Zhen and others brought dry food, but they kept it, which might help their lives at critical moments. At this time, there was other food, so they naturally would not eat dry food, so they used the food to cook porridge and eat it with salted fish.
Jiang Zhen also took this opportunity to ask the man about more things.
Fang Qi's family has lived by the sea for generations. He is very familiar with the sea and knows very well. He knows many things here and also knows the location of several nearby villages.
However, the salt households live far away and the defense there is very tight, so he is not sure about the specific situation.
Jiang Zhen added a few strokes to the homemade map he brought according to what he said.
Everyone in the village has been killed, and the people from Hongjiang Salt Farm will not come again. That night, after burying all the villagers, Jiang Zhen took his men here for a night before leaving.
Life in the wild is very hard.
Fortunately, it is winter now and there is little rain, Jiang Zhen has sufficient experience, and the daily living conditions of people at this time are average, so everyone has adapted well.
At this time, Zhao Jin Ge had fully taken over all the affairs of Jin Zhen's escort agency.
Jiang Zhen was in front of him and always gave Brother Zhao Jin a very good face, and asked Brother Zhao Jin to teach a class to the accountant in the escort agency. The people from the Jin Zhen escort agency were very convinced by Brother Zhao Jin.
But some of those who cooperated with the Jin Zhen Escort Agency don’t believe much in Brother Zhao Jin.
"Where is Jiang Zhen? Where is Jiang Zhenren? I have so many goods this time, what does it mean that he doesn't even show one of them?" A chubby businessman shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Jiang Zhen is not in Hexi Village. I will talk to you if you have any requirements." Brother Zhao Jin said with a good temper.
"Even if Jiang Zhen is not here, you can't find Shuang'er to fool me! Are there no one else in your Jin Zhen escort agency?" The man looked at Brother Zhao Jin with dissatisfaction. In fact, he was yelling here, not because of anything else, just because he thought that Brother Zhao Jin and Shuang'er came to talk to him about business, looked down on him too much.
"What do you want to do?" Brother Zhao frowned and looked at the other party.
"Switch people, I want to talk to me! I won't talk to Shuang'er about business!" The man said immediately, looking at Brother Zhao Jin with disdain.
"Okay, I'll change you." Brother Zhao Jin stood up coldly and moved the huge table in front of him.
This table was made by Jiang Zhen in the modern "boss table". It was very large and heavy. After Brother Zhao picked it up like this, he put it down heavily, making a loud "bang".
"The table is not well placed, I'll move it." Brother Zhao Jin said, turned around and left, and went outside, and called Zheng Baoning, who had been transferred by him to help with the business recently: "Zheng Baoning, go and discuss business with the people inside."
Zheng Baoning saw everything that Brother Zhao did. After he went in and sat behind the table, he saw the businessman sitting opposite him sweating and wanted to try to move the table in front of him.
The table was so heavy that it was basically impossible for such a businessman who had never done physical work to move it alone. Then, Zheng Baoning saw him take out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wipe the sweat from his head.
"Shopkeeper Li, do you have any goods to our escort agency for you to deliver?" Zheng Baoning looked at the escort Li with a smile: "You have also seen that our escort agency is very powerful even. The escort under his escort will definitely help you deliver the goods to your destination intact."
Manager Li was a little frightened and he had already wanted to leave, but Zheng Baoning's smiling look made him feel full of threats for some reason.
He didn't say anything, Shuang'er threw the table in front of him. If he refused to discuss business with the people from Jin Zhen's escort agency, would it be possible that he would be thrown out?
Manager Li swallowed aggrievedly and started talking to Zheng Baoning.
After the two parties signed a contract, Zheng Baoning was called by Brother Zhao after he left the house.
"The business is not bad, right?" Brother Zhao Jin asked with some concern. Jiang Zhen was not there. He was in a bad mood. He couldn't help but move in front of the customer just now... This... is really not good.
"Sister-in-law, the business is not bad." Zheng Baoning said: "You are so good, you are very imposing, and you can maintain it in the future." Brother Zhao Jin is a Shuang'er. He is too soft and easy to be bullied. It is better to be tough.
The women he had come into contact with were all tougher and lived a more comfortable life.
Brother Zhao Jin nodded. He also knew this. He didn't talk about others, but just talked about Jiang Zhen... He used to be like a dull person, but he was always bullied, but later he became ruthless... Who dares to bully him now?
Brother Zhao became more and more tough, and within a few days, he straightened out the affairs of Jin Zhen's escort agency.
He handed over all the affairs of Hexi Village to He Chunsheng, and Brother Zhao took his men and went to the capital.
There are many things waiting for him to deal with in the Fucheng City at this moment.
Brother Zhao Jin went to the capital this time and brought Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu family with him.
In this regard, it is because Zhao Mingzhu. Zhao Mingzhu has been sleeping with him and Jiang Zhen since she was a child. When Jiang Zhen disappeared, she was unhappy for several days. If he left again, he might be so sad...
Although people all think that it’s nothing if a child cries, Brother Zhao Jin can’t bear to cry. Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui have been waiting for so many years to have a granddaughter, and they are also unhappy with the child. Therefore, Brother Zhao Jin wants to go to the capital city, so they plan to follow him and bring Zhao Mingzhu with them.
And there is another reason for them to do this, but because Brother Zhao is a Shuang'er.
It’s nothing for Jiang Zhen to take Brother Zhao out, but it’s not very suitable for Brother Zhao to go out alone, but they will be fine after all.
Before, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge lived in the Zheng family's house, but this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Jin Ge did not move in, but spent money to buy another house.
"You kid, you are too tyrannical..." Zhao Liu bought a house without blinking, and couldn't help but say, "Will Jiang Zhen be unhappy if you spend money like this?"
"Mom, I don't know." Brother Zhao Jin was very sure.
Brother Zhao Jin was so sure that Zhao Liu felt relieved: "Yes, Jiang Zhen is good to us. He will definitely not care if he disappears so much."
All the Zhao family members came to the city, and Zhao Mingzhu was taken care of, so Brother Zhao Jin became busy.
He basically went out during the day, either busy with the brick kiln, found someone to build chicken coops and duck coops, or handled the business of the Jinzhen escort agency in the Fucheng. At night, he would come home and accompany Zhao Mingzhu.
He made himself very busy so that he would not worry about Jiang Zhen all day long, but the same was true for the businessmen around him to improve his attitude towards him.
Even Brother Zhao Jin received several big deals.
Those who do business outside are basically men, but the family is in charge of family affairs, etiquette, and people in charge of Zhuangzi are basically women or Shuang'er. When Brother Zhao Jin went to the Jinzhen Escort Agency to take over the business in the Fucheng store, he was stopped by a 17 or 18-year-old maid: "May I ask, are you Zhao Jin from the Jinzhen Escort Agency?"
"Yes." Brother Zhao Jin nodded.
The little maid smiled immediately and showed her two dimples: "I am Mr. Xu's family, and my wife wants to discuss a business with you."
It turned out that Mr. Xu wanted to visit her parents' relatives, but she was afraid of encountering danger on the way, and there were still many things to bring... After thinking about it, she came to Jin Zhen's escort agency and wanted Jin Zhen's escort agency to send her there.
The reason why she had such an idea was also related to that Brother Zhao Jin was a Shuang'er.
I heard that Jin Zhen'er is now in charge of this Jin Zhen escort agency, so I will never hurt her.
Brother Zhao Jin took over the business and found a suitable boat, and brought the wife of Mr. Xu and her to home to bring various furniture that she had to make up for her niece to a county town in Hexing Mansion.
After that, he received many similar businesses.
For example, if the wife of a certain family wanted to move all the grain from the farms in other places to the Fucheng for sale, she asked the Jin Zhen Escort Agency to help transport the goods. For example, if the wife of a certain family found some good wood for her daughter, she asked the Jin Zhen Escort Agency to help deliver it.
Not every family in this city has many servants, and there are big ships, even if there are some. Sometimes it is not cost-effective to use a big ship with a little thing. In contrast, it costs less to ask Jin Zhen Escort Agency for help...
Inevitably, more and more people came to Zhao Jin Ge.
The wife of the family asked the Jin Zhen Escort Agency to do things, and they did a good job... Gradually, the heads of the family did not intend to let the Jin Zhen Escort Agency help deliver goods, but they also remembered the Jin Zhen Escort Agency.
Brother Zhao Jin was busy with work outside all day, while Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui were both alone at first.
They had never left Hecheng County before, and this city was very strange to them.
In this place, they couldn't tell the difference between the south, south, west and north, so how could they dare to go out casually? So, after more than ten days of coming to the city, the Zhao Liu family dared to talk to the people of their neighbors, but they didn't dare to talk about their own affairs, for fear of being targeted by the evil people.
Jiang Zhen is not here, their family has neither pillars. What if they are bullied?
Zhao Liu was worried about this and that, and completely ignored the strong men who arranged for Zhao Jin to take turns to guard the house in his own concierge.
Brother Zhao Jin is not the kind of person who can spend a lot of money, so the house he bought in the mansion is not big, and the neighbors are not rich and powerful. There are several of them, and there are not even servants at home.
Because of this, Zhao Liu started to get in touch with his neighbors and had a good chat.
However, when Zhao Liushi didn't expect that, after only a few days of chatting, someone came to serve as a matchmaker for Zhao Jin.
"Is your daughter-in-law gone? In this case, your son is also very pitiful... Do you want to see my niece? Look at each other?" The hostess of the family on the left of the Zhao family asked Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liu: "What?!"
"My niece is 18 years old this year. She is so beautiful and smooth. It is definitely not a loss to match your son." The man said quickly. She had been observing for a while. Although the Zhao family came from another place and didn't know what they were doing, they were definitely very rich.
Although Brother Zhao Jin had married a wife and had a child before, the wife had not come, and most likely she had lost her. As for the child, she was just a girl, it would be okay.
To be continued...
