Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1031 Important Person

There are so many brothers and sisters in her family, but none of them is like him, with a temper as hot as the sun and a young man with an impetuous character.

If you really think about it carefully, he is a bit like Zhou Dacang before he joined the army.

The two chatted about the food, which was already filling up the table.

There were also several buckets of rice.

Xu Sibei pointed at the buckets of rice and asked, "Did we ask you to serve so much?"

The boy looked at Zhou Guo.

Zhou Guo touched his nose and said, "Brother, this is for me. I have a big appetite, and they all know it."

"Oh." Xu Sibei nodded, "Then it's okay, go down."

Xu Xiaobei said with a smile: "It seems that you are a frequent visitor here."

Zhou Guo said: "Not really, I have some business dealings with this restaurant, and we became familiar with each other after a few visits."

He called the two of them and said, "Come on, come on, eat quickly. It won't taste so good when it's cold. This is delicious, and it's best eaten while it's hot."

"Really? Then I have to try it." Xu Sibei was very considerate. He picked up one of the kinds she asked for and nodded after each bite. "Hmm, it tastes good. It's rare to get such good food in the military camp."

Xu Xiaobei watched the two people talking animatedly and ate with a smile.

Zhou Guo didn't bother to be polite in front of the two of them and ate bowl of rice after bowl. Xu Sibei, the big guy, was originally unconvinced and wanted to compete with her, but in the end he couldn't eat anymore and had to give up.

He touched his belly and sighed, "I can eat a lot normally, but how come I can't eat more than you? It seems like your strength comes from eating so much. No wonder people give you so much rice, it turns out you really can eat a lot."

Xu Xiaobei smiled and said, "No hurry, eat slowly."

Xu Sibei: "Yes, yes, yes, be careful not to choke, don't be in a hurry, if it's not enough, let them have another table."

Zhou Guo swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "No need, that's enough."

After the meal, everyone got familiar with each other and started talking about business.

Xu Xiaobei asked seriously, "You said you want to withdraw the remnants of the soldiers from the battlefield?"

Zhou Guo said thoughtfully: "The main reason is that I am short of people. I want to open up the trade route to the south. In a short period of time, the trade route will be opened wherever the front line can reach, and ensure the stability and construction of the rear. It will not work without people.

I don't have many people. Such a big operation will definitely require a lot of people, and they must also be good at fighting and not afraid of small fights, and they can handle large groups of bandits with ease. After thinking about it, I think it would be best to have soldiers who retired from the army.

Individual soldiers are powerful, and together they are even more powerful. They are regular soldiers who retreated from Xu's army. Ordinary bandits would flee when they hear this name."

Xu Sibei nodded repeatedly, "That's right. The Xu family army is well-known. Even though they have retired from the battlefield, most people are still afraid when they hear about it."

Xu Xiaobei frowned slightly, "But those who can retreat from the battlefield are no longer suitable for fighting on the battlefield."

Looking at Zhou Guo, she knew what to say without him saying the rest.

Zhou Guo said, "I know. If you can't arrange any positions for them, you can give them to me. I can let them farm, ferment fertilizer, and those with good legs can even escort. There are many things to do."

If there are more escort agencies in the future, each place will need a large number of people. We will need people with good skills and people who can work steadily.

Xu Xiaobei said: "It is indeed a bit laborious for the military camp to accommodate these disabled and elderly soldiers every year, especially those who are lucky enough to be able to go home. Some of them have lost all their family members over the years, and some are alone and have no family, so they can only be accommodated in logistics."

But logistics does not require so many people. There will always be casualties in a war, not to mention those who are injured here and disabled there.

Zhou Guo told him her plan in detail and took out a document from her sleeve, "This is what I wrote. Take a look. Many things are written on it."

What is written above is the future of Haoguo Escort Agency and the future of Zhuangzi.

She wants to sell the fertilizer so that many people all over the world can have enough food to eat, but this requires both financial resources and people.

“I went south last fall and winter to see that in the territories that were settled along the way, even though the general proposed to divide the land, there were not many people in these places, which shows that there are even fewer people in other places.

These people go to these places, not only to increase the labor force in these places, but also to multiply the population when they marry wives in the future. As long as the country is stable and life is good and there is hope, who would not want to have more children? In a few years, the population will increase. "

Xu Xiaobei nodded, flipped through the document in his hand, and looked at Zhou Guo in surprise, "Did you write this?"

"Yes." Zhou Guo admitted straightforwardly, "It's not well written, just bear with it."

"Let me take a look too." Xu Sibei moved closer.

The two brothers read the document line by line and page by page.

In fact, there are not many pages. Zhou Guo wrote it on the spur of the moment, only about ten pages.

But the two of them watched it for a long time, especially Xu Xiaobei, who watched it again and again carefully from beginning to end.

Finally, he closed the book and looked at Zhou Guo for a long time without saying anything.

Only he himself knew the shock in his heart.

If what is written here can really come true, then this broken world will be half recovered in a few years.

This child is truly a capable official in governing the country!!

Although Xu Sibei was usually careless, he realized the importance of the document after reading it once and couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

"It's amazing that you can think so far ahead. I think this can be done. The military camp can't accommodate so many people anyway. Some of them are old, over 70 years old. I think they can still farm."

Escorting is no longer an option, but farming should be possible. It doesn’t require traveling, which is great.

Xu Xiaobei had already found out everything when he came, and with the letter from General Xu, he also knew what this kid had done.

Giving all the disabled soldiers to her would be a hundred benefits with no harm.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I can spare you 7,000 disabled logistics soldiers currently in the border area. You can decide what to do with these people when they arrive. It's up to you whether to let them run escorts or farm. Once these people are given to you, they are yours."

Zhou Guo stood up and saluted solemnly, saying seriously: "Thank you, General."

Xu Xiaobei continued: "But I also hope that you understand that these are all people who retired from the Xu family army. They helped the Xu family army and the world to defend the border. They are all meritorious people for this entire family, country and the world."

Zhou Guo said: "Yes, I know, they are all heroes. I promise you, as long as they don't harm others or cause trouble, they will have food to eat for the rest of their lives. As long as they don't be lazy or play tricks, they will have a good life in the future."

In her hands, as long as she works hard, the wages she earns every year can keep her family from going hungry. If she has the ability, she can even let her family live a good life.

Most of the brothers who came down from the mountain have now found wives, had children, and are living the life they have always dreamed of, with a wife and children and a warm bed.

These are all earned through their own hard work.
