Fight the Giants

  Ji Chuyi, along with Mu Yan and others, searched the city of Beiping like a carpet for two days, but found nothing.

  He didn't dare to ride a horse at the beginning, his legs hurt, and he finally got used to it. It's just that I can't find anyone, and I feel very lost. He also wanted to cry when he saw several benefactors with stern faces and unhappy.

  Both master and benefactor are good people, and he wants to help them.

  Mu Yan has been sleepless for several days and is on the verge of collapse.

  If the eldest grandson of the emperor is found this time, he will ask for an order to go to the front line of Mobei and be a vanguard. He will drive those Oala and Tatar tribes further into the depths of the grassland.

  The followers who followed Mu Yan didn't dare to breathe. It was terrible, it was freezing to death on a hot day.

  Sitting behind Li Yi on the first day of junior high school, I didn't dare to breathe out, even breathing lightly. Seeing Li Yi's straight body, he was too frightened to move. His legs hurt, and he pursed his lips tightly.

   "Master, we have checked this area several times."

  Mu Yan looked at this residential area indifferently.

  They searched the shantytowns in the outer city and the mixed-use areas inside and outside the city walls, but found nothing.

   It is reasonable to take people away, take them as hostages, or threaten to retreat, and they will definitely be taken out of the city. But as soon as the grandson of the emperor disappeared, all the city gates were blocked. It is estimated that people are still in the city.

  The more chaotic the place, the easier it is for people to hide. In the area where the common people live together, they searched the bottom of the sky, but they couldn't find anyone.

  Will the other party think that the most dangerous place is the safest? Instead, hide people in the inner city?

   Mu Yan led the team back to the inner city. He personally led people to search from house to house in the inner city, and he led people to search everywhere, but still found nothing.

   Is it really shipped out of the city? move so fast?

  Mu Yan was a little unwilling.

   With a wave of his hand, he decided to lead the team to the other side to continue searching. Just as he was about to leave, Li Yi's clothes were grabbed by Chu Yi.

  Turn your head to look.

   "I seem to smell something." Chu said in a low voice, not sure in his words.

   "Really? Where?"

  Seeing that everyone stopped to look at him, even the young benefactor turned to look at him, he was a little nervous on the first day of junior high school.

   Swallowed: "A gust of wind blew just now, and I seemed to smell the same smell as the clothes in my hand."

   "Smell it carefully." Mu Yan said in a cold voice.

   Chu nodded, was dismounted by Li Yi, and sniffed in the wind again, sniffing desperately, while still moving his feet. Seeing him stop at the entrance of an alley, everyone followed.

   "It seems to be gone again." The first day of junior high school lowered his head a little frustrated.

  Mu Yan looked around and saw that this was an area where rich and rich families lived together.

  They went door to door before. No abnormalities were found.

   Maybe they missed something?

   "I could smell it just now, but if I hid it underground, I wouldn't be able to smell it." The first day of the junior high school held his little hand.

  Hiding underground? Could it be that these families have concealed the news that there is a cellar in their home?

   "Take the exits everywhere, keep an eye on all the houses in this alley, and go in and search from house to house!"

"yes!"

Zhu Ji went to Tianjin in person, and came back to report the situation to Huo Xi: "The shopkeeper Lan has taken over in person. Now he is recruiting peasants and craftsmen. The land has more than 300 acres. If it is built according to the blueprint, use good bricks. Good tiles cost tens of thousands of taels in terms of materials and labor.”

Huo Xi didn't care: "Shops, warehouses, inns and restaurants built at the wharf are all long-term plans. They need to use good bricks and tiles for decades or hundreds of years or more. If they are not resistant to wind and rain, they will not cost money to repair. Said, it’s not good to hurt someone.”

   "Yes, I will explain."

   "Maybe a craftsman is invited over there?"

"Yes. The owner's price is higher than others, so we can invite people. I also told the shopkeeper Lan that I brought back the news of our recruitment, the boats that passed through our house, and the boats that docked at various places in the dock. As long as the news If it spreads, craftsmen from other places will come over."

"Very good."

  Nowadays, merchants do all kinds of business through the canal, going back and forth, and the people who can’t survive in their hometown will also go away from their hometown to find work in other places through the canal.

   There are also specialized Yaren introduction jobs in each city of the canal. If the owner finds Yaren and needs some craftsmen, the Yaren will help to find them, and then bring them from other places by boat.

  Huo Xi felt that as long as the money was paid enough, there should be no shortage of manpower. At that time, as long as you pay the round trip fee yourself, you will be able to invite someone.

  She is also planning to go to the dental shop to see if there are any servants who can be hired or traded, and she is going to buy some people and put them on the Zhuangzi.

   Ji Fengshi rescued him from Huo Xi, he worked hard, ran to various construction sites every day, and brought Qiu Dazhuang with him.

  Qiu Dazhuang was literate, and Ji Fengshi persuaded the peasants, so Qiu Dazhuang helped these peasants write letters and send them back to their hometowns, so that the family members could go to Beiping City to work.

   So it went very smoothly.

  The Zhuangzi in Huo Xi's hands, except for the three hot spring Zhuangzi who have servants, other Zhuangzi, in order to avoid wars these years, even the masters and servants have run away, and several Zhuangzi's good fields have become barren fields.

  In addition to looking for a farm servant to work, Huo Xi also had to find a farmer who could manage things.

The three Zhuangzi that Shen Qianzhong bought originally had some servants here and there. He bought three servants, plus the manpower given to her by her uncle, there were only seven or eight servants, which was far from enough to support the nine Zhuangzi. functioning.

  Just when Huo Xi was thinking about going to several Zhuangzi to inspect, Kan Er came back with the first day of junior high school.

   "Master!" Chu Yi happily ran towards her with a big burden in his arms.

  Look at this appearance, it seems that the matter is done. Huo Xi smiled.

   Didn’t rush to ask Kan Er’s situation, nodded to him, and looked at Chu Yi: "Is it done? What did you bring back?"

  The first day of junior high school nodded happily: "It's done. The benefactor and the nobles all praised me! They also gave me a lot of things, master."

With a big smile on his face, he put the big bundle tightly held in his arms on the ground, opened the bundle skin, found a box containing twenty taels of silver, a piece of jade pendant, a few gold beans and silver beans, and a few top-quality pieces Clothes material.

   "It's all rewarded by nobles. Master, here it is!"

   "Give it to me? Didn't the nobleman reward you?" Huo Xi was a little surprised.

   "Even I belong to the master. If it weren't for the master, I wouldn't be able to get these things. Give it all to the master." Chu is very generous.

  Huo Xi thinks that the kid in the first grade of junior high school is very good at dealing with things, and he knows how to please his superiors at a young age. good. She just likes capable, clever and sensible subordinates.

   "You can take all the rewards from the nobleman. With so many things, it's hard for you to carry them all the way back."

  Kan gave him a second look, "I want to help him get it, but I won't let it, for fear that I will rob it."

   "It's not that I'm afraid you'll **** it, but I want to carry it back to the master myself." After speaking, he glanced at Kan Er carefully, for fear that he would be angry.

  Huo Xi smiled and only let him hold it.

   Seeing that Huo Xi really didn't want it, she packed these things up on the first day of the new year, "Then I'll give it to my father, and I'll give two pieces of stuff to Shuangxi."

  Happily holding his things and running away without a trace.

  Huo Xi then asked Kan Er about the situation of this search.
