Chapter 248: Nan Quan; Jian Shi

Gu Yu had a faint smile on his face. He looked at the excited people below the stage, waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and said, "You are all people who make a living by farming. I, Gu, will not let you work for me in vain. I will not reduce your wages by a single cent."

"I will not say any more. In the next period of time, I will trouble you fellow villagers to help me prepare the materials I need."

"Please!" He finally bowed with both hands.

The villagers in the audience watched Gu Yu walk off the stage, and many of them went to find their village chief, saying that they would do the job even if they didn't want to be paid.

Several village chiefs tried their best to persuade the people to go back.

After persuading them to go back, the robots transferred from the Chamber of Commerce began to select people and assign jobs to them.

By the time this batch of supplies was completed, Gu Yu and his team had already stayed in Wushu Village for more than half a month.

That day, Gu Yu and Han Yili came back from the city. Yang asked, "Have you found a boat to take them back?"

Gu Yu and Han Yili went back to the city to find a boat to take their supplies back to Linfeng County. Before they even had time to sit down and drink a sip of water, they replied, "There's no need to look for it. We're just going out to cover up our tracks."

Fortunately, the people serving in the house were all from our family. Gu Pan and the others were not there, as they had gone to the village to help.

That's why Gu Yu would say that. Yang said coquettishly, "Isn't this an old rule? Just follow the procedure."

It's because my daughter is low-key and doesn't want to reveal her family background that I pretend to have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce in front of outsiders.

Gu Yu said cheerfully, "We have two ships from the Chamber of Commerce, one for clothes and quilts, and one for rice, flour, grain and oil. We have agreed that the ship will dock tomorrow, and we will pull the goods from the village to the dock, have the workers help load them, and then we will set off."

"Have you found the carriage and people to carry the goods?" After staying in Wushu Village for so long, if it weren't for the need to take away the supplies, Yang would have wanted to go back a long time ago, so she asked.

Gu Yu did not hand over all the carriages carrying the goods and the people escorting the boats back to the Chamber of Commerce. Instead, he found a security guard agency in the city and asked them to help escort the goods. He said, "Tomorrow the people from the security guard agency will come to transport the goods to the dock."

Ugh!
There is no wharf near Wushu Village, so it is difficult to transport goods out. If there is a wharf, ships can go directly to the wharf, load the goods onto the ship and stack them neatly.

It was agreed that the people from the escort agency would come to pick up the goods. The next day, Gu Yu brought people to stack all the sewn materials together.

Fifty strong laborers were left behind, and the rest were paid their work and then allowed to go home.

The escort leader of the escort agency saw the pile of supplies and asked, "Madam Gu, are these all the supplies to be transported back to Linfeng County?"

"That's right. What we have in front of us are the supplies I want to bring back this time. That's why I asked you to lead the team!" Gu Yu had heard that the Tianmen Escort Agency had their bases in every prefecture and county town in Daqi.

The chief escort leader of Dezhou City, "Nan Quan", is very powerful and well-known both in the imperial court and in the martial arts world.

Asking him to escort the caravan can not only suppress some evil spirits in Dezhou City, but also deter the bandits roaming on the border.

But Nan Quan is even more casual than her, and whether he takes over the order depends entirely on his mood.

The day before yesterday he said he would not be the escort for this mission, but unexpectedly, he came today and said, "Next, I will have to trouble Escort Leader Nan and all the brothers."

The day before yesterday, Nan Quan heard Gu Yu asking them to take a boat to escort supplies to Linfeng County to rescue the remaining refugees there. At first, he thought Gu Yu was bragging and it was impossible for him to send so many supplies to the refugees for free.

Through the conversation, he temporarily believed Gu Yu's words. When he agreed to send someone to escort the convoy, Gu Yu paid a deposit and sent someone to Wushu Village to inquire about it.

It turned out that Gu Yu had really prepared so many supplies, and the goods were piled up in Wushu Village.

Therefore, he was not supposed to lead the team, but as a member of Daqi, he had a rare compassion and decided to take on Gu Yu's task. He looked at the villagers standing next to the supplies, laughed and said, "What's the trouble? I'll take your job, and then it's my task."

Gu Yu glanced at Nan Quan and didn't continue chatting with him, nor did she have time to chat with him.

The two walked to the supplies together. Qiu Shi handed over the list of supplies. Gu Yu took it and took a look at it. He handed it to Nan Quan personally and said, "Take a look at the list of supplies first. If there is anything wrong, check it and contact me."

Nan Quan took it and saw that there were not only clothes but also tens of thousands of kilograms of rice. He secretly admired Gu Yu's courage for being able to give so many things to unrelated people.

With a calm face, he said seriously, "If the verification is wrong, Nan will ask Madam Gu for it." He added, "However, please rest assured, Madam Gu, Nan will definitely help Madam Gu deliver this ticket safely."

"Thank you." While preparing the supplies, Gu Yu asked someone to notify Mu Qianxue and asked him to arrange for the yamen runners to wait at the dock to avoid any mistakes when unloading.

Nan Quan arrives at the Banshan Village Pier by boat and meets up with the government officials.

Nan Quan took the list and counted the number of supplies on it, then shouted, "The carriage can come over now."

"Boss, where should we move first?"

"Move out the counted clothes first." Although Nan Quan is a big and rough man, he is more meticulous in his work than many careless women.

After carefully checking the supplies, he waved his hand and started moving the goods and loading them onto the truck.

Because there were so many supplies, it took three full days to fill up the two ships.

When Gu Yu was about to leave that day, he unexpectedly met a person he had never visited before. He was a little confused about the other party's purpose and said, "I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me."

This person is Jian Shi, the prefect of Dezhou City.

At first, Jian Shi didn't know that Gu Yu had made such a big move. It was because a large amount of clothes, rice, flour, grain and oil were continuously transported to the dock in the past two days. The county magistrate noticed something unusual and reported it to her. She sent people to inquire and found out that a woman from Qingfeng City passed by here by boat.

Seeing that many farmers' cotton was unsalable, she thought of the many people in her hometown who were poorly clothed.

So they bought a large amount of cotton from farmers and organized local people to sew clothes to take back.

As for rice, flour, grain and oil, don't even think about finding any fault with them.

They did not purchase from other grain merchants, but cooperated directly with the Chamber of Commerce and obtained tens of thousands of kilograms of rice, grain and oil from the Chamber of Commerce.

She tried to find any fault, but couldn't.

Although she had never been to Qingfeng City, she had heard that it was not only poor, but also had fierce folk customs.

Before the Chamber of Commerce built a factory there last year, she was unwilling to take the position. It was only because that old man Mu Qianxue volunteered to take the position that she was able to come to this prosperous land of Texas to serve as a local official.

At first, no one knew who Gu Yu was and how he could be connected with "Cold-Faced King Yunxi" and make the other party sell so many grains to Gu Yu.

The Cold-Faced King is the nickname people gave to the Chamber of Commerce.

After asking around, I found out that there was a handsome man next to Gu Yu. Thinking about what happened in Beijing, I could guess with 80% certainty that Gu Yu was most likely the woman who had a rich husband.

Otherwise, why would the Chamber of Commerce give Gu Yu face and ask for so much food?

I thought so in my mind, but I wasn’t sure until I saw the person.
