Chapter 391: In a Hurry

A circle of fence surrounds the three large tents in the middle. Two soldiers with swords are guarding outside the gate of the fence. There is a sign next to it, which says Jishicheng Chengshoufu. Is this our home in Jishicheng? Wu Xinlian blinked her eyes, thinking she was wrong, but seeing her father striding in, she knew it must be true, she couldn't help but look back at her mother, her face full of grievances, is she going to live here? ?

The Wu family is rich, and Wu Xinlian is the youngest daughter. Naturally, she is the family's treasure. She might melt if she holds it in her mouth, and she might lose it if she holds it in her hand. Since she was born, she probably never got mud on her feet. Looking down at a pair of deerskin boots already covered with mud, and a dress splashed with a little muddy water, tears have already filled the eyes.

"Xinlian, let's go!" Madam Wu sighed as she walked over and took her daughter by the hand. Her husband had already understood everything to her and persuaded her, but she never thought that Jishi City would look like this. The outer city wall is majestic, but the gold and jade are ruined inside. It doesn't look like a city guard's mansion, but a beggar's nest.

Wu Kai went straight into the big tent in the middle. His wife and the servants he brought took care of the family affairs. Sun Xiao flung his hands and ran to Baokang. He had to clear everything here as quickly as possible. They all figured it out, especially about the craftsmen from Langlang. These people add up to nearly 50,000 people, almost more than half of all the Dingkou in Jishi City. If something goes wrong, it's really not fun.

There was already a clerk in the big tent, who was sorting out the volumes of documents. When he saw Wu Kai coming in, he quickly stood up and bowed in salute: "Master Wu?"

Glancing at the scribe, "Do you recognize me?" Wu Kai asked strangely.

"The villain's name is Tang He, and he's from Fufeng. How could he not know the boss of Fufeng County?" the little official named Tang He said respectfully.

"You can read?" Wu Kai was very happy when he heard that he was from Fufeng. This Jishi City is a hodgepodge. Now the Huns and Langya people are the most numerous, but there are really not many Fufeng people.

"Yes, I read a little with Mr. Siyou when I was a child. Later, Donghu people came, and their parents were gone, so they had no money to study anymore. Because they knew a few words, they got a job in a shop. Later, Since the establishment of Sihai Commerce and Trade, I have worked in Sihai Commerce and Commerce again. The last time I came here with a caravan, because I can read and I am a Fufeng man. General Sun Xiao then arrested me and asked me to be a scribe in the Chengshou Mansion. , deal with these documents!" Tang He explained his origin.

Wu Kai laughed as soon as he heard it, and caught him. This Tang He said was interesting. It is also very in line with Sun Xiao's behavior style. Fufeng is a man who can read and write. Sun Xiao naturally trusts him. If he doesn't arrest you, who will he arrest? Looking at the piles of papers with hundreds of scores, "What are these? It seems that you have sorted them out by category?"

"Yes, I did these things again years ago." Tang Hedao: "There are two categories here. One is documents related to the construction of Jishi City,

The other type is the documents of the craftsmen from Langya. "

When Wu Kai heard this, he couldn't help but cheer up, "Leave the rest first, tell me about these craftsmen in Langya!"

"Yes, my lord. There are a total of 10,000 craftsmen. Their craftsmanship can be described as varied and they have everything. The Langya Ye family is really rich and powerful!" Tang He couldn't hide his envy in his tone, "It's really hard to imagine this It's all the dowry of the lady."

"Don't say these things are useless." Wu Kai shook his hand, Tang He was young. He was born in a remote place like Fufeng, so he naturally didn't know about the big money of those luxurious families outside.

"Although there are many kinds of craftsmen, these craftsmen are actually organized. I read the documents transferred from Langya, and these people can be roughly divided into ten categories. Each category has a chief steward, and the ten thousand people There is also a general manager who is in charge, so the 10,000 people seem to be a group of mobs, but in fact the organization is still very strict, just like our village here, with clear divisions." Tang He said.

"That's good, this will save us a lot of trouble!" Wu Kai nodded happily. If these people have leaders, it will be much easier. If you take these leaders, everything will come naturally.

"What's the manager's name, and where is he now?"

"After these Langya people came, they all lived in temporary residences outside the city for the time being. The chief steward should be there too. This man is called Fan Dengke. He is forty-five years old this year. He didn't bring his family with him. He came here alone. Yes." Tang He flipped through a stack of thick documents, "This person is an official of Langya County, and it seems that he will go back after these craftsmen are settled."

"Okay, let's start with this Fan Dengke." Wu Kai said with a smile: "By the way, Tang He, where are the rest of the city guard's mansion except you?"

Hearing this, Tang He suddenly showed a strange expression, "My lord, I am the only one in this city guard, and there is no one else."

Wu Kai was really stunned when he heard this, the city guard mansion is still an empty shell until now, there is no one else except himself and Tang He, it is really poor and useless.

Seeing Tang He's weird look, Wu Kai clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay, there will be only two of you, but Tang He, don't worry, it won't take long before we let the city keep the old mansion. With a new look, how about you, since you can read and write, why don’t you become the boss of this Chengshou mansion first! The monthly salary is the same as that of the boss of Fufeng County, how about it?”

Tang He was stunned again, Master Bo, is this an official? Become an official so easily? It's just that it sounds a little unreliable?

"What's the matter, don't you believe me? Don't worry, it won't be long before I ask Zhengdong Mansion to make an official announcement. Now there are two officials in Jishicheng City Guard Mansion. I, City Guard, you, Master Bo. "Wu Kai laughed loudly.

Tang He froze for a long while, then suddenly remembered that the guard of the new city in front of him and General Gao of the Zhengdong Mansion were close friends, so why didn't he believe what he said? For a moment, I couldn't help being surprised, clasped my fists with both hands, and bowed to the ground, "Thank you Wu Chengshou for being promoted, the villain will definitely do his best for the adult, and he will die!"

Wu Kai helped Tang He up with a smile, "You can't do your best. Now there are only three or two of us big cats and kittens in this city guard mansion. There is no one left. Boss Tang, you go and find this Fan Dengke first. I have something to discuss with him!"

"Yes, my lord, I'll go right away." Bo Tanghe, the newly appointed Lord of Jishi City, rushed away.

"It's a young man after all, with smart hands and feet!" Looking at Tang He's back, Wu Kai couldn't help feeling emotional, and lightly thumped his waist and legs, but it was a little sore, "It's really old, but how many times has passed?" Baili Road, I can't hold it anymore."

Stretching his legs and supporting his waist, he was about to relax, but suddenly the crying of his daughter Xinlian came from outside, and he couldn't help but sighed, what's the matter? This daughter was spoiled and spoiled, and it was time for him to suffer. Although I thought so in my heart, I still stood up and walked out involuntarily. This little daughter is the baby of the family.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Wu Xinlian who was standing outside crying, covering her face, "Who bullied you, tell me, father will vent your anger on you!"

"Who dares to bully you, baby bump!" Mrs. Wu also walked out with a look of displeasure, "The firewood used for heating in this tent is dried, but there is still smoke. Your daughter can't stand it." Well, my eyes are smudged with tears."

Wu Kai suddenly realized that when he was at home, he usually used earth dragons. Even if he wanted to make a fire, he used good quality charcoal without smoke, but how could it compare with home here.

"Okay, don't cry, just ask your mother to write a letter back, and ask your brother to send you some fine charcoal for home use. These days, you can support yourself! You use dry firewood, most of which People use wet wood!" Wu Kai laughed, "I thought it was a big deal?"

"I don't want it, I want to go home! I don't want to stay here!" Wu Xinlian yelled suddenly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Kai stared, "How old are you, you are sixteen, you should know something, and you should see how most people live outside, ma'am, take him back. "

"I won't go back, and I won't go back even if I die!" Hearing her father's stern reprimand, Wu Xinlian cried even more sadly, Madam Wu couldn't help her.

In the middle of the commotion, a skinny old man hurried in from outside. The guard at the gate obviously recognized him and did not stop him. The man pushed the fence door, stepped in with one foot, and stepped in with the other. Only one foot was left outside, and a daughter was acting coquettishly inside, and a father was rushing around, he couldn't help but looked a little dumbfounded.

Seeing an outsider approaching, Wu Kai quickly turned around, "You are?" In an instant, the loving father turned into a majestic city guard, and at the same time, he kept gesticulating with his hands behind his back, Mrs. Wu Hurry up and drag Wu Xinlian into the tent, fortunately this daughter is also a magistrate, when she saw an outsider coming, she half-pushed and went back, but the crying still came faintly.

"Little old Guo Quan!" The fourth Guo ran to find Sun Xiao today, but Sun Xiao asked him to come directly to the new city guard Wu Kai. Sun Xiao, who was packing his luggage, said in a relieved tone: "I'm going out for a trip. It may take about ten days. For matters related to the construction of the city in the future, you can just go to the new city guard, Mr. Wu Kai."

Guo Quan had no choice but to run to look for Wu Kai again, but unexpectedly, he saw such a scene before entering the door.

"It turned out to be Mr. Guo, please come in, please come in quickly!" Hearing that the person who came was Guo Lao Si Guo Quan who was in charge of building the city, Wu Kai immediately greeted him warmly. Dana, how is the city built, is it going fast, is it going well, are all in this hands?
