Chapter 1159 Not Coming Back for the New Year

Zhou Guo said: "Of course I will arrange it for you. Anyway, no matter how I arrange it, the things you have to do will not be small, and you will not have nothing to do."

Wu Lazi said: "I don't care. No matter how big or small the work is, as long as I can get that much money every month, I'll be happy. If there is less work, I can be lazy and do less."

Xiong Lao San kept scolding her for being useless, "Look at how you act like a loser, but even the brothers below you earn more than you do."

Zhou Guo said, "You all know that this place is not like the mountains. We cannot form cliques or factions. You cannot take all the brothers you brought with you. They will be assigned to various places, east, south, west, and north. I have already told you this early in the morning, right?"

Several people nodded. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they understood Zhou Guo's approach.

If it were them, they would do the same.

After all, there are thousands of people in a mountain stronghold, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. If they are all put together, it is easy for something to go wrong.

They were mentally prepared for this before they went down the mountain.

Chu said: "Brothers also know, no one has any objection."

If you want to live a stable and good life, you have to give up some things. If you don’t give up anything and want to get good things, how can it be so cheap in the world?

Zhou Guo nodded to Wu Jiang who was standing beside him, and Wu Jiang went downstairs.

In recent days, the departure and stay of these people have been arranged. Some will return to the north, many will stay where they are, and some will go to other prefectures. They are mixed together from several mountain strongholds, and it is impossible to tell who is whose subordinate.

However, when the time comes, most of the people from Xu's army will go to places where the big bosses are going, and the brothers who are replaced will be left to Wu Jiang, Qian Duo and Lai Zi Tou to take care of them.

These people had been assigned a few days ago, so the assignment was done very quickly. Within half an hour, all those who were leaving or staying gathered in the threshing floor.

Wu Lazi and others went up to speak one by one, fearing that they would be dissatisfied.

After walking for so many days, they also learned that although Zhou Guo's escort agency in the south has not yet been established and has only just started, the person who has the ability to set up so many escort agencies at once must not be a simple person, and the power behind him is greater than that of ordinary escort agencies.

You can live a good life by following her.

I hope my brothers won't do anything stupid.

The thousands of people on the field came from several bandit dens. Although they were dissatisfied with this series of arrangements, they had to accept it. Even the boss didn't say anything, so what was the use of their words?

Therefore, in the huge wheat field, there was no objection, and everyone calmly accepted their destination.

Zhou Guo was very satisfied. The trip was incredibly smooth.

Qian Duo smiled and said, "Boss, you are amazing. You came back from the front and did not forget to wipe out the bandits along the way. Now, not only do we have more manpower, but we also eliminated the trouble along the way. We killed two birds with one stone!"

Wu Jiang nodded, "They are all very happy, no one is dissatisfied."

This is what is so valuable.

Zhou Guo said, "I promised to give them a safe and secure life with hope. Isn't this better than being a bandit in the mountains? Even if they don't believe me, this farm is so big and there are so many people. Can't they ask it themselves? We are not losing out by working long and short hours in the farm. Being a bodyguard is better than doing these things."

At the end of the year, you should always earn more.

Qian Duo said: "That's good now. We have no one left. Let's go and destroy the bandit's den."

Looking at Zhou Guo, "Just next time something like this happens, can you take me with you? I want to go too!"

Zhou Guo looked him up and down with a smile, "You? Can you still fight? Don't go up the mountain and get thrown out!"

Wu Jiang laughed out loud, "You have gained a lot of weight, and your belly is showing."

Qian Duo touched his belly and said with a smile: "Although I am a little fatter, my kung fu has not declined. I am still invincible in the village."

Wu Jiang asked bluntly: "Are you sure they didn't lose to you on purpose just to please you?"

Qian Duo: "...You just can't stand seeing me doing well, you bastard, your mouth has become more and more poisonous over the years, just eat something sweet all day long."

Zhou Guo watched the fun from the side.

These people were separated on the same day and scattered to all directions.

Although Wu Lazi and his friends spoke magnanimously, they still felt reluctant to see their brothers leave one by one.

Zhou Guo said, "Don't look at them. They've gone to the mountains to make money. Why are you so reluctant to let them go?"

Wu Lazi looked at Zhou Guo and asked, "Sir, when are we leaving?"

Zhou Guo said: "Today."

She has been delayed here for some time and can't delay any longer.

Qian Duo said: "It won't be long until the New Year, why don't you leave after the New Year?"

At most it will only take one month.

Zhou Guo shook his head. "No, I have to take advantage of the slack season to go down and take a look. I don't know how severe the drought is in the prefectures."

The rice and wheat from the north can settle in the south. They are more drought-resistant and high-yielding than ordinary crops. If these crops can be planted, there will be some harvest next year as long as the weather is not absolutely dry.

Even though she had a lot of money, she didn't want to stay. "Okay, but you'll come back for the New Year, right?"

Are you going to spend the New Year alone?

Zhou Guo said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. Most likely, he won't be able to come back."

After packing up and having lunch, Zhou Guo left with Dashu, Xiaoshu and several of his personal soldiers, and Chef Zhang also went with them.

Zhou Guo advised, "Why don't you stay? I'm not that particular when I'm away from home. I'll just eat whatever's available. It'll be a burden if you keep following me. There's no need."

Chef Zhang shook his head. "That won't do. The general said I'll follow you wherever you go. Do you want me to be beheaded?"

Zhou Guo was amused, "Why would he chop off your head?"

Anyway, no matter what, Chef Zhang has to go with them.

Zhou Guo had no choice but to follow them. Fortunately, he didn’t have to climb mountains to find the bandit’s lair, so it was very safe.

During the coldest days of winter, although water doesn't freeze like in the north, the wind is still biting.

Zhou Guo got into the carriage. Although this carriage could not be compared with the one she spent a lot of money on, it was still pretty good. It had everything it should have, except that it lacked shock absorption and was a bit bumpy.

But it's spacious and can hold a lot of things.

Qian Duo and Wu Jiang also put in a lot of money, including clothes, bedding and food.

After leaving this place, the group headed south.

Two prefectures in the south suffered disasters this year, with similar severity.

She looked at the map in her hand, circled the counties that were hardest hit by the disaster, and visited these counties first.

Because they were in a hurry to travel, it took the group almost half a month to reach one of the counties most severely affected by the disaster.

Fengfei County.

They felt it outside the city gate. Unlike other counties they had come across along the way, this county was even more lifeless.

There were few people at the city gate, and the few who did had numb expressions on their faces. They just glanced at the lone men who came here. There were not even any soldiers guarding the gate, and the city gate was in tatters, and there was no sound from inside.

Like a dead city.
