Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1211 Reward Based on Merit



Chapter 1211 Reward Based on Merit

She looked at Zhou Guo's little face. Her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, casting a shadow.

She was as well-behaved as a child. Who could have imagined that not long ago, she was holding a big knife, like a killing god, and no one could get close to her. The clothes she wore today could no longer be kept, and probably could not be washed clean.

He muttered, "She's so well behaved even when she's asleep."

He looks a little like a normal child now.

But on second thought, Zhou Guo has a hard time too. She is so young and a girl, but she has to go out to make a living. She is in charge of such a big business. If she is not tough, no one will listen to her. She might even be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably distressed for Zhou Guo, as her own child was not much older than her.

Zhou Guo did not sleep well in his dream, it was full of strange and bizarre things.

She woke up and found that the lights were on. She was covered in sweat and sticky clothes.

I blinked and sat up, only to find that I had no strength left in my body.

"Master, you're awake." Xiaoshu walked in from outside and said, "Dinner is heating up on the stove. Do you want to eat now?"

Zhou Guo nodded, "Eat."

It would be fine if I didn't say anything. As soon as I started to speak, my stomach started to rumble. I feel tired after doing physical work.

No one had eaten yet, but as soon as the meal was served, the table was full of people in the blink of an eye.

There were so many people that dozens of tables were set up in the yard, living room, flower hall and backyard.

Zhou Guo was stunned, "Why haven't you eaten yet?"

Wu Lazi said, "If you don't wake up, who would dare to eat?"

Zhou Guo said, "Nonsense, how can I be so harsh? When have you ever been forbidden to eat if I don't sit at the table?"

She had been hungry many times and knew what it felt like, so whoever was hungry would eat first without anyone having to wait for her.

Dashu said, "Master, the county magistrate has sent people here twice."

Zhou Guo asked: "Does he know everything?"

"I got it. I told you everything as you wished. Currently, those who surrendered are imprisoned in the county jail, waiting to be escorted to the north after the verdict." Dashu was busy with these things the entire afternoon.

Zhou Guo looked at the dripping clock and realized it was getting late. "Then I'll go to his house tomorrow. He must be asleep by now. Let's eat and go to sleep after we finish eating."

For so many days, everyone has had something on their mind. They don't know when the enemy will come, or when their own people will come, and they are afraid that they will not be able to catch up.

Fortunately, everyone arrived on time.

Zhou Guo poured himself a full glass of wine, stood up and said to the escort leaders and escort masters, big and small, sitting there: "Everyone, you all arrived on time today, and you have learned the formation so well in such a short period of time. With you, our Haoguo Escort Agency will definitely become the largest escort agency in the world in the future! I am confident that I can bring all of you to witness this day together! I toast to you all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

The treatment at Haoguo Escort Agency is good, and the wages are several times higher than those elsewhere. Even if one dies for the agency, the agency will support their family for the rest of their lives. They have no worries when working at Haoguo Escort Agency.

If you do well, you can move up. Everyone is working hard and seeing that their lives are getting better day by day, they will definitely live better in the future.

Zhou Guo said: "Tonight we will reward the meritorious service, and tomorrow, let all the brothers come to claim their rewards."

Everyone should be overjoyed, and tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.

But they can get the reward, so they can survive even two nights, let alone one.

After dinner, a group of people set up a table in the hall, lit the lights, and started to work.

We will reward people according to their merits tomorrow, and the contributions made tonight must be calculated.

We will have a night's rest tomorrow, as these people will disperse the day after tomorrow, so each place cannot be empty for too long.

People come in and go out in batches.

In order to prevent someone from taking credit for something, they would ask several people, and then compare the number with the number of deaths, and just make sure it's roughly the same.

No one can be that precise.

Zhou Guo himself didn't know how many people he had killed, and no one knew either.

Anyway, these people arrived on time, so they have made a contribution.

Even those who have not made any contribution can still get some fresh fruits and snacks, which is better than getting nothing.

Zhou Guo held a cup of tea in her hand, looking here and there, and the calculated bill was finally submitted to her for review.

After checking it once and finding no problems, she stamped it and would judge the rewards for everyone based on it the next morning.

The group was busy until dawn.

Zhou Guo looked at the sky outside which was gradually getting brighter and stretched himself. He actually hadn't slept all night.

Everyone was still working hard. The one who could read kept writing while yawning. He had been writing all night and his hands might not be able to hold anything for two days.

The accountant was fiddling with the beads on the abacus, his eyes narrowed into slits.

There were several groups of people asking questions nearby.

When she went out, she saw that there were few people left in the yard. Some were sleeping on the ground, lying in all directions and making a lot of noise.

After thinking about it all night, I finally figured it all out.

In the small kitchen, breakfast was ready. Zhou Guo walked into the kitchen and saw that it was full of delicious food. The chef in charge of the kitchen today was Zhang's apprentice. When he saw her coming, he asked, "Master, is the meal ready? When will it be served?"

She looked at the food, which included porridge, steamed buns, vegetables, meat, and pickles. It was very rich. She said with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

The big kitchen is also fully equipped. Compared with the small kitchen, the food is still a little inferior, but it is already very good. There are porridge, steamed buns and vegetables. It is better than what most people eat nowadays and it is enough to fill you up.

During meal time, the entire escort agency was filled with people, some squatting, some sitting, and some holding their bowls, so they could sit anywhere.

The escort agency was not big to begin with, and when these thousands of people arrived, it suddenly became as crowded as a temple fair during festivals, except that it was crowded.

They gathered in groups of three or five, discussing what rewards each of them would get.

I didn’t expect that everyone would get a reward this time. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

After Zhou Guo and his group finished their meal, they started.

The rewards were prepared by Dashu and Xiaoshu last night, and they were more than enough.

It's nothing more than money and things, cloth or food.

Please come up in order to receive the reward according to your contribution.

Those who have made great contributions will be promoted to minor managers in the branch.

Everyone got their things in turn and left with smiles on their faces. No one was dissatisfied, after all, they got what they deserved.

Zhou Guo smiled as she looked at everyone's smiles. Wasn't it just for everyone's satisfaction that she earned so much money and grew so much crops?

Wu Lazi sighed, "That's great, but you always give me rewards like this. Do you have so many rewards?"

Zhou Guo said: "I don't give rewards every time. Isn't it because they saved me? This time they solved such a big problem, which is a great achievement. It is reasonable to give them some rewards. Otherwise, who would work so hard in the future?"

She rummaged around in her bosom, pulled out a small wooden box, and threw it into her bosom, "This is for you."
