"Young man, you have a saying that Hualin Township and Maquan Township are all villagers who drink the same stream. So this time, as long as Hualin Township is willing to share the clear stream with us, our Maquan Township will naturally be willing to talk about war and make jade."

In the home of Maquan Township, Qiangfu and the middle-aged You Jiao, who looked a little brave, looked at Zhao Xu, who was sitting opposite them and was exactly the same age as their nephew, finally couldn't help but say such words.

As ordinary villagers, they are still afraid of the famous salt owl family like the Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Xu was not worried about anything, so Maquan Township took the initiative to take a step back.

But Zhao Xu just smiled lightly, "Hualin Township has many fields and many people, but Maquan Township has few fields and few people. Let's share the streams and water, so the old man should not mention it again."

"Then, what do you want to do with the little husband?"

The plan to divide the stream was directly rejected by Zhao Xu, and the three of them were not angry about it. This was something that they had spoken out loudly by the lion but were rejected by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, who was a human being for two lifetimes, could naturally understand this. Therefore, Zhao Xu also knew very well about the bottom line of Maquan Township.

However, after looking at the three elders in Maquan Township, Zhao Xu couldn't help but say unexpectedly: "The water in the stream can only be given up 20% this time. This is the bottom line of Hualin Township, so there should not be more."

"What!"

"You little husband, are you kidding!"

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, the three of them finally changed their colors.

This year, the weather is dry and the water in the clear stream is also sparse. This year, even if the stream water is divided into them, it is not enough. What role can only be played for the people in the same village?

"Young man, don't bully people too much. Although my Maquan Township is a poor town, more than a hundred men in the town are not bullied by others!"

He stood up from the seat, and the middle-aged You Jiao, who looked a little brave, glared at Zhao Xu angrily, as if he would attack Zhao Xu immediately.

However, even so, no waves appeared on Zhao Xu's face.

He didn't even lift his butt from his seat, but just glanced at the three people in front of him and said, "Have I said I won't give you any other way out?"

"Um!"

"Sanlang, sit down. Let me hear what the little husband said."

"The old man is just calm and admires him." He said a complimentary sentence with playful words. Looking at the three elders in the village, Zhao Xu took a sip of the clear water in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the three of them and said, "Compared to you, you all know what our Zhao family does."

"Ha, how could we not know about Zhao's family in Zheng County?"

"Ha" smiled softly, ignoring the sarcasm of the old people in Maquan Township. Looking at the three old guys opposite, who were much older than him, Zhao Xu simply said straight to the point: "Five days later, my family is going to go to Hanyang for business, and it just takes some manpower. Each person costs 400 yuan a month, and my family will pay a monthly salary. What do you think?"

"Take business, hum!" middle-aged You Jiao snorted coldly when he heard this.

For the salt owl like Zhao, the business mentioned by him is naturally not a serious business. But it has to be said that the conditions offered by Zhao Xu are indeed very attractive.

Although 400 yuan a month is the lowest salary in the entire Longxi County. For the villagers in Maquan Township, 400 yuan is enough for them to live for a long time.

After all, a stone of corn is only seventy or eighty yuan. The villagers will definitely not be able to eat a stone of corn for a month when they eat wild vegetables.

Therefore, after the old man and the old man in the village looked at each other, the old man in the village couldn't help but ask Zhao Xu: "So, I wonder how many people the young man needs? How long will it take?"

"Yeah, about sixty people, it lasts about three months."

"Okay, in those five days, the little husband will come to choose people."

The fellow villagers wanted to pretend to be calm, but a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

Their Maquan Township has only more than 400 people, and even less than 100 households. Sixty people, one household pays one person, and one gets one thousand two thousand, but they are enough to barely cope with this difficulty.

As for Zhao Xu, seeing the fellow agreed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As mentioned earlier, in order to expand the trade routes for salt trading, his Zhongfu took people to the provincial government. So these days, his family's staff had a lot of people walking the inherent trade route of Hanyang.

Therefore, just when he was having dinner yesterday, his father got up and wanted to hire people from the county. He could hire people from the county, and he would definitely not be able to get five hundred yuan per month.

Nowadays, Zhao Xu is employed so many people at a price of 20% and is more down-to-earth and hardworking than the group of idle men in the county. Naturally, Zhao Xu is also satisfied.

...

"Okay, the matter is resolved, let's go back."

"What, so fast. These pigs actually agreed that only 20% of the stream!"

In the courtyard, Zhao Han, who had been thinking about fighting with the people in Maquan Township, and then defeated the siege with less and broke through the siege, suddenly heard Zhao Xu's words and refused to believe it.

However, looking at the increasingly hatred gazes of the Maquan Township people around him, Zhao Xu couldn't help but believe that if he let this reckless brother continue to talk, the people in Maquan Township would definitely not mind fighting with him.

So he glared at him and shut up. Zhao Xu asked his servant Zhao Qi to take his war horse. A group of more than ten people walked out of the courtyard under the gaze of the Maquan villagers.

"Brother Xun, I hope we will meet again in a few days. Let's say goodbye."

When he arrived at the village gate, he greeted a young man named Ma Xun with a smile, and Zhao Xu immediately took the people away.

And Ma Xun, who stood among the crowd, looked at Zhao Xu, who solved this difficult thing he felt casually, couldn't help but reveal a strong yearning and envy in his eyes.

...

"Little Langjun, I really thank you Xiaolangjun this time. The villagers have the stream and can irrigate, which is considered to be a way to avoid hunger."

Soon after, when he returned to Hualin Township, the elders from Xiangzhong Township knew that the matter had been properly resolved by Zhao Xu, they couldn't help but thank Zhao Xu happily.

"Sir, the words are too heavy, the words are too heavy." Seeing this old man who is two generations older than him thanking him, Zhao Xu, who wanted to establish a good reputation among the villagers, naturally would not accept it calmly.

He hurriedly bowed deeply to the fellow villager, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but hold the old man in his seat and smiled and said, "I can't write two characters Zhao in one stroke. They are all family members. Why are you polite to the boy?"

"Okay, okay. What Xiao Langjun said really makes me feel relieved. But this time, I really want to be honest and beg you for something."

"Since the old man has something to do, he will tell the boy just to tell him. As long as the boy can do it, he will never dare to refuse."

"This is shameful. Don't worry (Zhao Xun's name is a word called "Zhao Xun") The young man also recognized that the child lost his father since he was a child, and his mother remarried when he was young. It can be said that he has been dependent on me, Aweng since he was a child.

Therefore, I am a little negligent in discipline him. This child is already in his prime, and he only knows how to do some low-key chores with evil young men in the countryside every day.

So I hope that Xiaolangjun, you can arrange an errand for him and let him do things with you, Xiaolangjun. In this way, I will be very grateful!"

As the old man said, he couldn't help but stand up and bow to Zhao Xu, the junior.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu hurriedly avoided helping the old man up while helping him up, so he naturally had to agree to this matter.
