Chapter 41 Is it okay?

If you want people to follow you willingly, there must be benefits after they put in the effort. This is also so that when things happen in the future, more people will be willing to work hard for you.

Under Zhou Yunshu's arrangement, people who went to Anshan County to buy water were given two extra water bags each. In addition, any unexpected rewards they received, such as rewards from the county government, could be kept by themselves.

Then there was Zhou Yunshu who blatantly made extra money from the county magistrate's private treasury.

She emptied the private vault of the Anshan County magistrate herself, and of course she also gave some benefits to her subordinates.

However, the extra money she got from the county magistrate's private treasury was only intended to be given to the people who were transporting grain at that time, because they had taken on more risks.

Wei Zhong brought his two men, and Liang Laosan met Du Mazi on the way. Zhou Yunshu brought Qingfeng, and the group sat around the campfire in Zhou Yunshu's house.

Among them, the one who was most excited to see Zhou Yunshu take out the bag was Du Mazi, because he was the one who needed money the most!

He used to ask his family for money, but now he finally earns money for his family!

Let’s see who dares to call him a spendthrift after today!

Apart from Du Mazi, the most excited person was Liang Laosan.

Although the Liang brothers have already started their own families, they are not the richest among them because their old mother is still alive. Now he is more than happy to have some extra money to supplement the small treasury of his family.

Wei Zhong, Qingfeng and others were the calmest, but they were all very happy to have extra money.

Hu Zi and the other two squatted beside the fire, looking at the bundle next to the fire with envy, because this bundle was taken from the private warehouse that they were guarding!

They felt a pity when they looked at the bundle. If they had known earlier, they would have taken a little more money with them, so that they would not be left with nothing except the little silver and money they had on them.

"As you know, the situation was quite special at the time, so I couldn't take much."

Zhou Yunshu opened the bundle as she spoke. The gold, silver, and jewelry emitted a gorgeous and eye-catching glow under the reflection of the fire. In addition, there was a chubby ginseng lying inside.

Among the pile of gold, silver and jewelry, the gold ingots were worth twenty taels each and the silver ingots were worth fifty taels each.

Zhou Yunshu put three gold ingots and two silver ingots together, making seven piles in total.

"Each person will receive a portion of this gold and silver." After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, she gave a wink to Qingfeng, who was closest to her. Qingfeng stepped forward and took his portion in his hands.

Du Mazi excitedly held his sixty taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver in his arms and kissed them again and again.

Liang Laosan was also happy, but still reserved.

Wei Zhong and the others were relatively calm, especially Wei Zhong. There was no emotion on his face, as if he did whatever Zhou Yunshu asked him to do without saying a word. Only the two people behind him showed a little joy on their faces.

"I don't have much of the remaining gold, silver, and jewelry, plus the medicinal herbs. You each choose two, and the rest is mine."

When Du Mazi heard this, he immediately reached out for the big gold bracelet and pearl necklace in the pile of gold, silver and jewelry. In his eyes, these two were the most valuable.

Qingfeng glanced at Du Mazi and took out the ginseng that was over a hundred years old and another pearl necklace.

It was just because in his eyes these two items could all be used as medicine, and he was a medical student, so they just happened to be useful to him.

Liang Laosan chose a jade bracelet and a jewel hairpin. He prepared one for his wife and one for his mother.

Wei Zhong originally wanted to let Zhou Yunshu choose first, after all, he knew that the person in front of him was a woman, but under Zhou Yunshu's gaze, he still took his men to randomly choose two pieces of jewelry.

Zhou Yunshu casually gathered the remaining gold, silver and jewelry back into her bag. Hu Zi and the other two not far away swallowed hard, as they wanted them too!

"Mr. Zhou, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. I, Mazi, will be the first to do it if I can!" Du Mazi said excitedly to Zhou Yunshu, holding the gold, silver and jewelry he had received in his arms.

Liang Laosan also responded: "Me too!"

Just as Qingfeng was about to speak, Huzi, with his two brothers, hurried over to express his loyalty, "Boss, we will listen to you too!"

They realized that there was meat to eat by following Zhou Yunshu!

Just because they can’t eat it this time doesn’t mean they can’t eat it next time!

"Okay, if there's anything good next time, I'll definitely call you guys."

Seeing Li Jialan lift the carriage curtain and look at her, Zhou Yunshu said to Du Mazi and the others, "Let's stop here for today. You should go back and rest early. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"

After Wei Zhong and Du Mazi left, Zhou Yunshu didn't return to the carriage immediately. She looked at Hu Zi and the other two who had been standing beside her and said, "You can drive the carriage, right?"

Hu Zi and the other two nodded repeatedly.

"Get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, Hu Zi will drive the mule cart on the left, and Hound and Bear will drive Doctor Xue's two mule carts. Is that okay?"

Hu Zi and the other two nodded repeatedly, "No problem, boss!"

What's the point of choosing when you have a car? It's always better than walking!

When Hu Zi arrived, he noticed that their team was so long and many families were fleeing from famine on foot!

Zhou Yunshu arranged some night watch before returning to the carriage.

Fang Huiwen and Feng Xujie were in the small tent with the children. Only Xixi was sitting in the carriage with her grandmother Li Jialan. In addition, Grandpa Xue was also in the carriage.

After Zhou Yunshu entered the carriage, Li Jialan hurriedly said, "Shu'er, let Doctor Xue take your pulse again."

She was always worried about Zhou Yunshu's health.

Zhou Yunshu held out her hand, and Doctor Xue carefully felt her pulse and said, "The fetus is stable, but we still need to be careful."

"Some things can be handed over to others, so leave them to others. And then..." Doctor Xue looked at Zhou Yunshu, who was dressed in men's clothes, and asked, "You can pretend to be a man now, but when you show your pregnancy..."

"I will take control of the entire team before I show my pregnancy." Zhou Yunshu said.

Of course, this is the best outcome.

"If that's not possible, I just hope that by then we'll have left Luzhou and we can go our separate ways."

If she were to separate from this team, Zhou Yunshu would establish a team entirely of her own before the separation, preferably a team with stronger combat power.

Li Jialan hugged Xixi and said, "When you went to the city, I heard Xiaojie say that some people in Dujia Village are dissatisfied with you. They said that they feel that it is not the Du family who has the final say in the team now, but you, an outsider."

She looked at Zhou Yunshu worriedly and continued, "I saw Du Youtian and the others talking to Du Laozhuang for a long time. You..."

"Mom, I still say the same thing." Zhou Yunshu looked at Li Jialan and said, "Let it be."

"If it really doesn't work out, we'll split up once we get out of Luzhou. But that's not possible now. It's safest to go with the main group."

Not to mention that just as Du Youtian and the others worried, Zhou Yunshu was very popular in the team.

Zhou Yunshu would never take her family away with her when fleeing from famine in such an environment that was becoming increasingly favorable to her.

As for what Du Youtian or even Du Laozhuang thought, she didn't care. What she cared about was how to get her family out of Luzhou more safely.
