Chapter 1352 Fate to Escort (2)
The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy, everyone looked sad and lowered their heads.
The boy watching the wind said pitifully: "Uncle Zhou, do you want to drive us away?"
Ge Zhou raised his eyebrows and said without changing his expression: "You are not going to listen to me, and you are not going to leave! Do you want to stay here forever?"
"Of course not...we want to stand out."
"Haha...Uncle Zhou, you better stop scaring them."
Ge Zhou's disciple behind him couldn't help but laugh and said: "Uncle Zhou wants you to pack your things and leave here. We will no longer live here."
"real!"
"Oh my god! I was scared to death."
Ge Zhou couldn't hold back his laughter and kept urging: "Okay, stop nagging and hurry up and pack your things. We want to get ahead."
"Okay..."
The disciples quickly ran back to the courtyard, but Ge Zhou's wife Song was still looking confused when she saw everyone holding her child.
The disciple greeted the woman in front of him and said, "Master's wife, pack your things quickly. Uncle Zhou said we should leave here and go to Dadong's house to provide food and accommodation."
Ms. Song immediately returned to the house and quickly cleaned up. She never asked any questions and always believed that her husband would succeed.
Only Ge Zhou and a few people were left outside the hospital.
Ge Fan asked: "Brother, what exactly is this..."
"We have found an employer. From now on, we are destined to come to the Escort Agency and become the escort agents of the Chamber of Commerce. They will provide generous treatment."
Ge Zhou's disciple added: "Uncle Zhou is right. They take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation there, and they directly provide the horses and carriages for escorts."
Upon hearing this, Ge Fan showed excitement on his face and said: "Which boss is so heroic?"
Ge Zhou said with a smile: "You'll know this when you get there, so hurry up and clean up."
Ge Fan, who had just left, stopped and said, "Brother, since that merchant has horses, how about we sell the horses and buy some new equipment for everyone!"
"become...."
At this time, Xiao Liang ran out of the yard. He was the first orphan taken in by Ge Zhou and he was loyal and honest.
"Uncle Zhou...we only have more than fifty taels left, and the rent is more than thirty taels..."
Ge Zhou thought that Widow Wang had been a bit mean to everyone in the past few years, but she still took care of everyone.
"Xiao Liang gave all the money to Widow Wang. Now we don't have to worry about food and housing."
The man behind him said: "Uncle Zhou, let's keep some, after all, my wife and your child still need..."
"No, just give it to Widow Wang and say thank you to him these past few years. I'll tell your wife to go quickly and don't waste time."
Ge Zhou interrupted the other party and urged him again.
After another hour, more than 20 people were ready to go, and three or two carriages left here.
Although they are a little reluctant to give up, they will have to face a new environment next.
The three people who went to the Chamber of Commerce with Ge Zhou boasted all the way in front of their junior brother.
Everyone who heard this wanted to visit that chamber of commerce right away.
Along the way, Ge Zhou also told everyone about the reward, and the disciples quickly counted it with their fingers.
Thinking that the monthly reward is only ten taels of silver, it feels like a lot.
"Everyone remembers what I told you clearly!"
At this time, Ge Zhou's stern voice came. He must make these disciples abide by the rules before entering the chamber of commerce.
"Remember clearly."
"Uncle Zhou, we must abide by the rules of the Chamber of Commerce."
.....
Soon they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, were welcomed by the maid to the backyard, and headed all the way to the West Courtyard.
"Shopkeeper Jia told me that after you settle down, go to the fourth floor of the Chamber of Commerce to find him. Also, the Dongziyuan to the east is the women's residence. You must not get close. The cafeteria is in the center..."
The female receptionist introduced the internal situation of the Chamber of Commerce to Ge Zhou one by one, while the disciples behind him had their eyes wide open, like country people who had never seen the world.
They didn't expect that they also had their own work clothes, and they were thinking about who came up with such a chamber of commerce.
"Thank you, miss..." Ge Zhou thanked him, and then said to the major disciples: "Did you hear me clearly?"
"It's clear..."
"By the way, where is the bathhouse?"
At this time, Ge Fan asked, since they had changed into new clothes, they naturally had to take a shower. They used to cover them with wooden boards and then take showers in the open air.
The maid sneered and said: "There is a bathhouse for you on the left side of your west courtyard. The daily necessities are all ready and can be used at any time."
"It's nothing, I'll leave now..."
After the maid left, everyone entered the West Courtyard. After pushing the door open, their eyes almost fell out.
The entrance hall occupies such a large area, with a pond, rockery and greenery, and an old locust tree in the middle.
The building in front of us has three floors, with seven or eight rooms on each floor, enough to accommodate them.
"Uncle Zhou... do we really live in this place?"
“This is my first time seeing this beautiful yard.”
"This must be a dream, you guys hurry up and punch me..."
A group of people talked non-stop, but Ge Zhou put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said, "Finally I have a decent home."
Ge Fan said excitedly: "You guys, if you don't want to be kicked out, just work hard..."
"We will never embarrass the Yuanlai Escort Agency, and we will never embarrass the Chamber of Commerce."
Everyone responded loudly while wiping away their tears. They knew in their hearts that they had finally made it through and no longer had to worry about not having enough to eat or not having enough sleep.
Jia Wanbai stood on the fourth floor of the Chamber of Commerce and looked down. He could clearly see the people from the escort agency hugging each other.
He finally understood why Long Mobai took in these people and saw the honesty in them.
"I hope you won't disappoint the Chamber of Commerce..."
Jia Wanbai whispered softly, looked away and said, "Have the best horses not arrived in Zhongdu City yet?"
"Back to the big shopkeeper, the horses are still on the way and are expected to arrive in two days."
A man in front of him responded, which reminded Jia Wanbai that the Chamber of Commerce was receiving more and more orders, all from Zhongdu City, and they might not be able to deliver them all in two days.
"Big shopkeeper, why not let the people from Yuanlai Escort Bureau deliver it! This will reduce the accumulation of orders, and you will not be so nervous in two days."
That's right, this group of people came at the right time, and there was no need to recruit escorts from outside.
After Jia Wanbai agreed, he solemnly said: "Go ahead and make arrangements. Tell them that each trip will cost twelve taels per person, and that they are favored by the president. Everyone in the chamber of commerce is equal and cannot neglect others."
"Yes, the big shopkeeper..."
Just when everyone in Gezhou entered the bathhouse and took a comfortable bath, they saw pieces of soap and smelled them.
His disciples thought it was edible cake, and some of them even bit into it, which made them laugh.
Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, a man in rich clothes came to the bathhouse.
Ge Zhou immediately looked at the other party and said, "I don't know what's wrong, sir!"
The man in colorful clothes said to everyone: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's pleasure. I am the steward of the Chamber of Commerce. Now I have a batch of goods to be transported and delivered to Zhongdu City. After the transaction is completed, everyone will receive ten taels of silver."
"Now?"
"Of course now..."
The other party explained the situation, and Ge Zhou immediately agreed. Their three carriages were still there and fully put to use.
Chapter completed!
