Chapter 88 The position of the mine owner

"Hare you back."

The prisoners of the Guanjun army had not dispersed in the square, and only heard the servants on duty outside shouting. Then they were shocked. Everyone knew that the Gaozu wanted to settle Zhang Gui's funeral when he went out. Now that the Gaozu was back, would they be able to go home too?

Dong Bufang and the Ma Jun led the servants, opened the village gate, and lined up to greet them. The prisoners of the officials and soldiers did not know that Gao Jin would take some time to come back, but they never thought that the matter would be done in less than three days.

Gao Jin's team also brought wine to him. Zhang Gui's funeral was settled. He thought about the hard training of his servants over the days, so he bought wine from Gubeizhai and regarded it as a reward.

"Hare you, everything is done?"

Gao Jin got off the horse immediately, Dong Bufang rushed to lead the horse in front, and asked happily, "He wasted half of his life, and now he has been suppressing the rest of his life on Gao Jin."

In Dong Bufang's eyes, Gao Jin's role as a hundred houses in Hekou Fort was just the beginning. With Gao Jin's ability and means, he will definitely show his strength in the future, and then there will be his place to use it.

"It's done, just go to Gubei Village in a few days."

Gao Jin knew that Dong Bufang was very fame and fame, so he was more concerned than himself to take the position of Hekou Fort Baihu.

After hearing this, Dong Bufang couldn't help but feel happy. At this time, the Ma Jun stepped forward and told all the things that happened when Gao Jin was not there in the past few days, which made Dong Bufang realize that he had dereliction of duty, so he quickly reported it with Ma Jun.

"You have handled the matter of Tu San very well. I'll ask Manager Li to come to see me later."

Gao Jin didn't take Tu San's death seriously, but Li Laogen's performance made him lit up. Although he was greedy for money and was afraid of death, his ability to grasp people's hearts was really good.

In the valley, with Gao Jin's return, the atmosphere quickly became lively. The prisoners of the government and army received accurate letters and knew that they would be able to go home in a few days, so the servants became even more direct. The car of wine was enough to make them cheer.

Mulan was not here, and since Li Laogen was staring at the fire-headed army killing sheep and remediating food, he immediately went to the main hall where Gao Jin lived.

"Grandmaster."

"Manager Li, sit down!"

In the simple decoration of the house, Gao Jin called Li Laogen to sit down. He knew that Li Laogen was working very hard during this period and went to Gubeizhai to buy materials and grind the prices one by one with the caravans, saving him a lot of money.

"I heard from Old Dong and Uncle Ma that you are troubled by Manager Li about the matter of Tu San."

"Whatever you say is, it's all right!"

Li Laogen looked happy. He knew that Gao Jin was about to be a hundred households in Hekou Fort, and of course he knew how important it was to show his face in front of Gao Jin, so he had the courage to act like that before.

"Manager Li, I just said it straightforwardly. I heard Ergou mention that your family is in Qingshuiying, Fugu County. I don't know if you are willing to move to my Hekou Fort to settle down. My mansion is short of people."

When it comes to the matter of Tu San, Li Laogen could think of the movements of the government army capturing people's hearts, which was his experience and ability. Gao Jin also lacked such a cunning old man who was in charge of the mansion, which could save Mulan a lot of energy.

"Yes, willing."

Li Laogen hurriedly replied that Gao Jin asked him to move his whole family to Hekou Fort, which was really treating him as his own.

"Manager Lee."

"The master called me Lao Li, and it was too distracting to call the manager."

Li Laogen has always been very shameless. When he saw Gao Jin and asked him to be the butler of the Gao Mansion, he immediately became a role and said with a loyal look on his face, as if he was a loyal servant of the Gao family for many years.

...

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the valley, and a few large pots were filled with crispy beef and mutton. The greedy prisoners of the government army in the distance all thrust their throats and swallowed their saliva from time to time.

The servants are better. After all, they have three meals a day, but they see meat every meal. This time, in order to reward everyone, Gao Ye specially asked Manager Li to kill a cow. This beef is much more expensive than mutton, not to mention the jar of wine jars.

Gao Jin and his friends left the main hall. At this time, the servants were lined up to sit down, and the prisoners of the official army sat down honestly. In addition to building walls and houses these days, they also trained with the servants every day. Compared to the loose appearance of being an official army in the past, they now look more soldiers.

On the wooden platform that was temporarily built, Gao Jinxian asked Li Laogen to bring a few fire-headed soldiers to pour wine and add meat to each person's bowl. Even the prisoners of the government army were divided into two complete pieces of beef and mutton and a bowl of wine.

In the quiet square, bonfires crackled. Although both the servants and the prisoners of the government were staring at the wine and meat in front of them, Gao Jin did not say anything. No one dared to drink and eat meat. Instead, he looked at the stage as Gao Jin spoke.

"I have already received help from noble people in Zhang Gui's funeral, but I need to explain some of the joints to everyone to avoid any mistakes in the future."

When Gao Jin heard Gao Jin's words, even the officials and prisoners were greedy for the wine and meat in front of them, they all sounded attentively, after all, it was related to their own lives.

"Zhang Guinai took you out of the border patrol. When he met Tartars gathered his troops to attack the border, he was killed."

"You happened to meet my Gao family caravan. After fighting with the Tartars, we met the official army to encircle the Tartars and then returned to the fort."

The statement Gao Jin gave to the prisoners of the government army was very simple. No matter what others asked in the future, he insisted that Zhang Gui took them out of the border. As a result, he met the Tartars of the Aji tribe. When the two sides fought, Zhang Gui and his son and his servants were killed by the Tartars. After they escaped, they got lost and wandered on the grassland for several days before they met the Gao family caravan. Finally, Gao Jin led them to kill the chasing Tartars. Then he heard that General Du of the Camel City led the official army to encircle Huoluochi Aji tribes and defeat the Tartars.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, we know what to do!"

Among the prisoners of the official army, Lao He and others took the lead in responding that they were the most sensible and obedient. Gao Jin had already guessed the few cars of Tartar heads that day, but they didn't expect that Gao Jin would eventually get in touch with the General's Mansion. However, these guesses would only be rotten in their stomachs and would never say it out.

"Okay, since everyone knows what to do, I won't talk nonsense anymore, everyone starts eating."

As Gao Jin finished speaking, the servants and the prisoners of the government shouted loudly, "Thank you, Mr. Gao!" Then they all started to eat voraciously.

When Li Laogen looked at these people's attitude of letting go of food and drink, his eyelids were twitching. It was fine for the servants. In his eyes, the prisoners of the official army were just taking advantage of the situation. The master was kind and righteous, and he was too generous. He gave these prisoners a bun and dipped some braised soup to them.

It took half an hour for the meal to eat and drink. The servants had enough beef and mutton, but if they had wine, each of them had only three bowls, and no one was drunk. The prisoners of the government army did not have such treatment. After drinking, the meat was finished, Li Laogen only asked the Huotou Army to make steamed buns and dip them in soup. However, they never thought that these birds were reincarnated like starving ghosts, and they actually ate the whole pot of braised soup without leaving any left.

"Even pigs are not as good as you can eat. Get out of the way, and you don't have your share."

Seeing that there were still prisoners of the official army who were shy and came to ask for the bread to eat, Li Laogen cursed directly. He now claimed that he was the chief steward of the Gao Mansion, so he naturally had to consider the family.

"Master, you can't be so generous in the future. Miss Mulan said that raising these people is useless, and it's useless to waste money and food."

After scolding the prisoners of the official army, Li Laogen naturally sought Gao Jin to advise him. Gao Jin was understandable to treat his servants well. After all, those servants were really fighting and fighting with others. Those prisoners of the official army could have a good use.

Listening to Li Laogen's complaint, Gao Jin didn't say anything. To put it bluntly, the remaining prisoners of the government army were really useless, but he didn't expect these people to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future.

Shenmu County is full of coal resources. At present, there is a shallow mine in the river valley. When the river estuary fort stabilizes, Gao Jin must organize people to mine and mine coal. These people are the best laborers. If they don’t ask them to taste the good taste of eating, how could they come here to work in the future!

Gao Jin remembered his father said that the ability and wealth he had, the coal in the river valley was shallow mine, which was conducive to development, but he was not rich at the moment and could not dig it out with great fanfare. In this era when people pay attention to local customs, the government troops of these river estuary forts were trustworthy people.

They can't fight, come and dig coal! Gao Jin thought so, looking at the thin prisoners of the official army, but said to Li Laogen, "It's not a question of wasting food. If you eat mine, you have to work for me in the future! Then you just stare at me. Whoever dares to be lazy will not be polite. Of course, if you work well, don't be stingy. After all, you can only have the strength to work after eating."

Li Laogen looked at Gao Jin with a look of surprise, and then hurriedly said, "Master, what kind of work can these people do? Except for those who know some construction styles, the others are just doing some hard work."

Currently, a row of main halls are built in the river valley, and walls and viewing buildings are built outside the valley. Li Laogen guessed that Gao Jin might have regarded this place as the destination for the caravans to stay outside the wall in the future, but the work that requires effort has been completed. Could it be that he would continue to build a house here?

"There is coal in this place and the storage capacity is quite large."

Gao Jin did not hide it from Li Laogen and pointed to the ground. His words immediately made Li Laogen ecstatic, "Master, is this true?"
