Chapter 356 Yao Duoduo
Go into the small room.
Ma Zheng got the charcoal and heated the brazier a little more, then sat across from Gu Chan and said, "Boss, why do you have to talk to me in secret at night?"
" Ma Zheng, how long have you been with me?" Gu Chan asked.
“It’s been more than a year.” Ma Zheng said.
Gu Chan reached out and grabbed his hand and said softly, "This trip to Jiangnan can be said to be a narrow escape from death. If I can't come back, I will definitely find a way for you to escape secretly. Then you must We have to come back to Zhongyuan City and escape with all our family members.”
“Boss, don’t say such depressing words! If you are so powerful, there is nothing you can’t do.” Ma Zheng burst into tears in his eyes. Water said.
Gu Chan patted his head and said, "I'm not as powerful as you think. It's just luck. I have a bad feeling this time. Anyway, no matter what, I will protect you. When the time comes, My two daughters-in-law have also been given to you. When you grow up, help me marry them and give them happiness, do you understand?"
"No, I want to stay with the boss, I can't. If you abandon the boss, don't abandon me." Ma Zheng suddenly cried.
After saying that, he quickly rushed to Gu Chan, threw himself into her arms, and cried like a child while holding her.
Gu Chan also hugged him, her eyes wet with tears.
Compared to Shen Yang and Xuanyuan Qing, Ma Zheng is not handsome, smart, and illiterate, but he is the kindest, simplest, and the best to himself.
Throughout this journey, he has been silently supporting and accompanying me.
In a sense, Gu Chan has already treated him as a family member. For a woman, she will fall in love with many men in her life, but a boy like Ma Zheng is the one. The most worthy of her cherishing.
After crying for a while, both of them became quiet.
Gu Chan pushed Ma Zheng away, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said earnestly, "Remember, a man can have no money, status, and power, but he cannot have no character. , have no knowledge. From now on, you promise me that no matter what, you will maintain your good character and study hard. Do you understand?"
"Well, I promise you, boss, that I will change. I will do better and never live up to your expectations of me," Ma Zheng said with firm eyes.
"That's it. Go to bed and accompany me to the refugee area tomorrow. We will form a caravan here." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Ma Zheng nodded quietly, turned and left.
After he left, Gu Chan lay down on the small bed and rested quietly.
She thought a lot that night and didn't fall asleep completely until dawn. When she woke up, it was already noon.
Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue warmed their beds last night, but Gu Chan didn't come to sleep with them. Although they felt resentful, they didn't say anything. When they woke up early in the morning, they still looked like Taking care of everything at home as usual.
Although Gu Chan felt sorry for them, she had no choice but to pretend she didn't know anything.
After getting up, washing up and having lunch, she quickly left with Ma Zheng and started shopping in the commercial street of the refugee area.
When everyone heard that she was organizing a caravan to do business in Jiangnan, everyone rushed over and blocked her and Ma Zheng in Liu Heimei's wood shop.
Liu Heimei stood at the door of the shop and said to the people blocking the outside, "Don't worry, everyone. Shopkeeper Gu said that not everyone wants her caravan. The first condition is that If you are illiterate, please leave!"
"Shopkeeper Gu, I can read and do accounts. I used to be a waiter in the business district."
" I am a cashier."
"I have worked in the cavalry, I am literate, and I am familiar with the business routes to Jiangnan."
Everyone jumped up and raised their hands and shouted. Those who were illiterate turned around and left with regrets on their faces.
Liu Heimei asked someone to bring pen and paper and wrote down all those who could read and sign up.
In the shop.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng were sitting at the table. Seeing how busy it was outside, they felt relieved. Originally, they thought it would be difficult to recruit people, but judging from the current situation, it seems that They really think too much.
Ma Zheng asked in a low voice, "Boss, how many people do you plan to recruit to form this caravan this time!"
"How many people are there in an average small caravan?" Gu Chan asked.
Ma Zheng thought for a while and said, "I heard before that you can form a small caravan with two carriages, three carts, two coachmen, and six drivers."
< br>"That won't work! I have offended so many people, so I have to hire at least two capable bodyguards, plus two riders. This way, when we can't beat them, the two riders can still take us away. Here!" Gu Chan said hurriedly.
"Haha..."
Ma Zheng was amused by her and laughed.
Gu Chan said seriously, "What I said is true. In this case, you go tell Sister Hei that we will recruit two coachmen, six riders, two powerful bodyguards, and two riders. The same condition is that they Everyone has to be literate."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ma Zheng agreed, quickly ran to the door, and whispered in Liu Heimei's ear.
More than an hour later.
All the people who met Gu Chan's conditions were selected and stood in three rows at the door waiting for Gu Chan to choose.
Gu Chan came out of the shop. After some careful selection, she finally selected the twelve best people among dozens of people, and these twelve people were all in the age group. They were young and strong people between the ages of twenty and thirty-five. Except for the two riders who were women, the other ten were all men.
The twelve people introduced themselves one by one and got acquainted with Gu Chan. Then Gu Chan said to Liu Heimei, "Sister Heimei, you can give me two carriages, three carts and nine horses." I'll prepare it and send it to my hospital tomorrow. I'll give you money."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you and send it to you," Liu Heimei agreed readily.
Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction and immediately returned to the medical center with twelve people.
After arriving at the medical center, she first arranged for the twelve people to live in their respective rooms, and then asked Zhou Dachuan to prepare a batch of good medicinal herbs for her to box.
Not bad!
The caravan she is organizing this time is a herbal caravan. She has been dealing with medicinal herbs and running the herbal business for so long. She can be said to be an expert and will not be cheated no matter where she goes.
Everyone in the hospital can feel relieved about this.
After making these preparations, Gu Chan went back to his room to rest peacefully.
The next morning, Liu Heimei delivered the two carriages, three carts, and nine horses that Gu Chan asked for.
These things are not expensive. They only cost more than 400 taels in total, which is quite affordable.
After seeing off Liu Heimei, Gu Chan led the twelve newly recruited people and began to load boxes of herbs into the carriage, and hung the caravan flag that Ding Meihua had embroidered last night on the leading carriage. superior.
Soon a brand new caravan was formed, and Gu Chan named the caravan "Yaoduoduo" without even thinking about it.
