More than an hour later, nearly 500 people all returned to the outside of the village.

There are also people who are unlucky and lose the lottery. Fortunately, it is not a serious injury and does not affect their daily life.

Among these people, there are only about 150 people who have received tokens and have no white spots on their bodies, or even... less than one-third of the total number of people.

Only one hundred and twenty people got the tokens with white spots on them.

Among the people Gan Ning brought, less than a hundred could become official guards.

This result was within Huang Yueying's expectation, but beyond Gan Ning's expectation.

"Achu...the number of people..." Gan Ning said softly, "If this is the case, there are only one hundred and fifty official guards, not even one song."

In the Han Dynasty, there were two hundred people per song.

"Aren't there still 120 reserve team members? Brother, don't worry, we can still gather 200 people." Huang Yueying smiled and comforted Gan Ning.

Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen! Please use the token in your hand to eat meat! Those who get the iron token can eat one pound of meat!"

"oh!"

"Eat meat!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chu An!"

"Thank you so much, queen!"



Early the next morning, among the 150 people who are officially escorted, those who hold iron tokens can be directly appointed as captains, a total of thirteen people. These thirteen people can compete for four team leaders and two

The position of the village chief.

In the end, Huang Wu and Gan Rui won the position of camp commander, while Gan Yong and three others won the position of team leader.

Huang Yueying selected more than 40 people from the 120 people who had white spots on their bodies but received tokens and added them to the official escort team with the white spots only on their arms.

In this way, Huangjiazhuangzi's escort team was considered to be full. Then, Gan Ning directly watched Huang Yueying in the afternoon of the same day to make iron, and then grabbed Huang Yueying to pay the settlement allowance of the escort team.

Huang Yueying: ...It’s really hard to live as a logistics minister.

Then, she thought of the fat prince of Ming Dynasty who had been in charge of the country for twenty years in later generations... That was really not easy!

Just when I was about to sigh, I saw a large number of carriages and horses approaching on the pipeline outside the village. Before they entered the village, they were stopped by the newly formed escort team.

"Little lady, someone is coming." Zhou Yang reminded.

Huang Yueying nodded, "I see."

Gan Ning looked over with a smile, then took the horse from the side, turned over and climbed up, "Ah Chu, I will go and find out more about it!"

After saying that, he and his horse ran very fast.

Huang Yueying:......

Zhou Yang on the side almost laughed out loud. He knew that his little wife had wanted to learn to ride a horse for a long time.

Originally, he thought that Gan Ning was not a good person. He used to be an official in Shu, but later he led people to rebel... For this reason alone, he felt that Gan Ning was not loyal enough.

But his wife trusted this man immensely... After getting along with him for a while, he found that this man was actually not as unbearable as he thought.

At least, in today's village, his martial arts skills are the best among all.

When he gets along with his little wife, he is really like a brother. Even his group of subordinates are also well restrained and do not cause any trouble.

Not long after, Gan Ning rushed back and was about to say the results of his investigation, but was stopped by Huang Yueying.

"Brother, let me guess." Huang Yueying felt that she had to find a place, "It should be the agents from Xiangyang? They escorted the agency fees."

Gan Ning:......

Seeing Gan Ning's expression, Huang Yueying knew that she had guessed correctly, so her eyes also curled up, ah, sure enough... happiness must be based on other people's depression.

"Uncle Zhou, these agents will have to work hard for you to handle the subsequent handover." Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Yang, "But when the time comes, tell the agents around You, Yi, and Liang that I need five hundred war horses.

They must have relevant channels, and if they have good stallions, they can also bring them along."

"Achu... a good horse costs at least 50,000 yuan..." Gan Ning reminded, "Five hundred horses are worth more than 20 million yuan!"

The cavalry is powerful, but the cavalry is also really expensive.

"Brother, Chu paper is also full of money." Huang Yueying laughed, "and there is so much land!"

Gan Ning was upset for a long time... You are rich, you are great!

"Also, please give Yangzhou agent Zhang Zhi a brief introduction."

"promise."

After arranging these, Huang Yueying no longer stayed outside the village, but turned directly to go home.

She had already handed over the training plan of the escort team to Gan Ning. Since she had captured Gan Ning first and brought him back as a coolie, of course she had no doubts about the employment.



At Huang Yueying's home, Huang Chengyan relaxed his wrist. In recent days, he spent a lot of time copying ancient books and classics. Cai had no choice but to join the copying team.

"The escort looks quite decent. This way, it will be much safer on Zhuangzi." Huang Chengyan looked out the window and saw his daughter walking back, and said with a smile.

"It's just her...General Gan hasn't bought a foal in the past few days, and he's very unhappy." Ms. Cai also laughed, and then sighed, "Every day..."

"It's pretty good." Huang Chengyan said, "She started too quickly. Before she had a very complete plan, she was overtaken by Jing Sheng and others. She will be fine after a year or two."

"But she doesn't want to ask Jing Sheng and the others for help!" Cai shook her head, "I wonder what she is guarding against..."

"Now she no longer needs to ask for help from Jing Sheng." Huang Chengyan sighed, "Soon, her name as Chu Anjun will spread throughout Jingzhou, and when these books we printed are published, the "Three Character Classic" will spread throughout the Han Dynasty

At this time... people who are willing to go out for her will probably have to queue up to Xiangyang!"

Ms. Cai laughed, "Is there a father like you?"

"Her father is tired of copying books, why can't he make a few jokes?" Huang Chengyan said with a smile.

Huang Yueying naturally didn't know that her old parents were still teasing her. She only knew that now, she finally felt a little calmer. With the escort, regardless of combat effectiveness, with Gan Ning leading them, no matter how bad they were, they would not be worse than the Jingzhou soldiers.

Even if the time comes to slaughter all the major aristocratic families...she is not afraid of people knocking on her door.

As for Soochow, it’s time to arrange it.



In the side hall.

Zhang Zhi was a little frightened. First, he saw hundreds of strong guards outside the village, and second, Manager Zhou told him that Lord Chu An wanted to see him.

Although he had business cooperation with the Huang family, businessmen were not looked down upon by the gentry.

Therefore, the group of them discussed that the congratulations must be prepared, but they could not be sent too early, so they planned to congratulate them together when they came to Mianyang after completing the deed.

But now, he was invited to the side hall alone... Looking at the vacancy on the main seat, he was confused.

Not long after, a girl wearing a veil walked into the hall, followed by a big man... the same man they had seen in the Chu Paper Shop when they signed the deed.

"Zhang Zhi, I have met Chu Anjun."

He did not dare to be disrespectful towards this person. After all, the emperor personally conferred the title, and all the major families in Jingzhou congratulated him.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you don't have to be polite." Huang Yueying looked at this man with a smile. This man had a decent appearance and did not have the shrewdness in his eyes like Yang Xiu, "Who is shopkeeper Zhang?"

"Pengcheng, Xuzhou." Zhang Zhi replied.

"How did you come to Jingzhou?"

"To avoid the war, the whole family moved..." Zhang Zhi said helplessly, "Fortunately, Liu Zhennan was wise and Jingzhou was peaceful."

"People from Xuzhou..." Huang Yueying sighed slightly. In this era, those who could move their families and live a good life were mostly from noble families.

"Exactly."

"My brother told me that shopkeeper Zhang has obtained the exclusive agency rights of Chu Paper in Yangzhou."

"Yes, may I ask where the young gentleman is now?"

"I went to Jiangxia to visit my relatives."

"That's it." Zhang Zhi nodded. According to his knowledge, both sides are from the Huang family, so they must be related to each other. "I wonder why Chu Anjun wants to meet me today..."

"I want to know how much money shopkeeper Zhang wants to buy from Chuzhi?"

"I want to buy 30,000 pieces of medium-grade Chu paper and 3,000 pieces of high-grade Chu paper... After paying the agency fee, I already have a little money in hand." Zhang Zhi blushed a little.

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes. Thirty thousand pieces of medium-sized paper cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this called a lack of money? But she knew that her blushing face meant that she was not a person who was particularly prone to lying.

True (Yin) Cheng (Zi) is the surefire skill.

So, with a sincere tone, he said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I am willing to give you tens of thousands of pieces of Chu paper as a reward. I have entrusted you with something important."
