Red Dead Redemption Dawn

Chapter 197: travel plan

The next day, after a good night's sleep, John and Nick rode to the camp at ten o'clock.

The dormitories in the camp are basically full, and there are still many young adults who are building suitable dormitories. Obviously, the original address is not enough for the two hundred people to live in.

Seeing John, Zheng Guotian hurried forward with several subordinates to greet him.

Zheng Guotian held the revolver in his hand, commanding them to work from time to time, very airy.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wick." Zheng Guotian said flatteringly.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I see that you have arranged well. Is there anything I can do for you?" John asked after looking around.

"Sir, there is no need for your personal help. The preparations here are sufficient, but the clothes seem to be a little short, but I have already communicated with Mr. Elson, and he has already started to arrange it." Zheng Guotian said

"That's good. Let me introduce you. This is Nick. If you can't solve anything, you can come to him for help." John and Nick dismounted directly, and then took out a holster from the saddle bag and threw it to Zheng Guotian .

"Nick, this is the partner I told you about, Zheng Guotian. He and his brothers are responsible for the basic necessities of these people, as well as supervising their work."

Nick stepped forward and shook hands with Zheng Guotian, "It's a pleasure to work with you." Perhaps knowing from John that Zheng Guotian and the others will be his future colleagues, Nick was very friendly.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Nick, I hope you can give us more guidance in the future." Zheng Guotian respected Nick as much.

"Talk first and get to know each other. I'll talk to Mr. Elson." John said to the two.

"Okay, Mr. Wick, please come with me, and I will introduce my brothers to you." After Zheng Guotian finished speaking to John, he pulled Nick into the camp to introduce his brothers to him.

John walked to Elson's office.

"Oh ~ Mr. Wick, this is really a beautiful day." Elson was signing documents and other things, and it seemed that John was very happy to greet him when he came in.

"Very good, how can the work here start?" John asked about the working hours in this area.

"Our specialists and surveyors have traveled to the lower Montana River a long time ago to measure the most suitable aqueduct route, and they are already planning the route. The final drawing is expected to be finalized the day after tomorrow. And work will begin within these four days Go ahead, let them finish building the camp now. After all, their number exceeds the original estimate, and they will be required to build the necessary buildings later." Elson patiently explained to John.

"Well, the number of people is indeed one-third more than before. In terms of food and procurement, you can ask Zheng Guotian and others to gather people to help you. They have many people who are suitable for this. And you can listen to their opinions on food, There are many chefs among them, and the food they can accept is much richer than ours."

"And I still have some opinions on food. I hope you can buy a batch of chickens and ducks to raise them first. Just circle a piece of land at the edge of the camp and build a chicken shed or something like that. There is enough grass for them to eat. They can also provide a certain amount of eggs every day, saving some expenses, tell Zheng Guotian the news, he will arrange workers to raise them, and those women are very suitable for doing this." John said some opinions in the camp construction.

In terms of meat, white people do not eat animal offal, and large quantities of offal are usually used to make cheap cans or discarded to feed dogs. The Han people have many delicious ways to make animal offal, many of which John likes to eat, so he thinks it can save a lot of money in this regard.

"Really, the chef from the big eastern country? It's really worth discussing with them about food purchases." Elson said with a smile.

"Yes, you can even discuss with them the purchase of a batch of livestock for captive breeding to provide a stable supply of meat. And reclaim a relatively fertile land to grow some fresh vegetables that can grow quickly. There are many experts in the women." The more John thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible to reduce some expenses.

"If Mr. Wick thinks so, then I will discuss the possibility of this method with Mr. Zheng Guotian." Elson nodded in response.

"And Nick, he can make many decisions on my behalf here." After speaking, John introduced Nick to Elson who was chatting with Zheng Guotian outside the window.

"Yes sir." Elson nodded.

"I'll go and talk to them, you're busy first, and I'll ask them to come and discuss with you when you're done." John waved his hand and let Elson continue his work.

"Goodbye."

Walking out of the office area, John came to Nick and Zheng Guotian.

"Xiaotian, you can find some people with breeding experience later. Elson and I just discussed it. You can build a chicken and duck shed here to solve some food costs. There is also land reclamation A piece of richer land is used to grow fast-formed fruits and vegetables." John introduced what he had just discussed with Elson.

"No problem, Mr. Wick." Zheng Guotian nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"Nick, follow along and take a look, maybe you can give some opinions and guarantee the feasibility of this matter, and it will not exceed some expected plans in the future." John said to Nick.

"John, no problem, I will take care of it." Nick nodded.

"Xiaotian, you are recruiting a few subordinates from this group of people. It will be easy to manage this way, but the few of you are a bit too busy." John gave his own suggestion.

Zheng Guotian nodded.

"I'll go and see what's going on with Zhao An first, you guys talk first." After finishing speaking, John rode his horse towards the bandit leader.

"Ah~ By the way, Xiaotian, choose five obedient women and children and five young adults to help with the daily maintenance of my manor. Tell them that they are paid, and the ten accountants who followed. Let Nick I'll take you back to the manor tonight, and I'll arrange a place for you." John, who was about to leave, turned back to Zheng Guotian and the two.

"No problem, sir." Zheng Guotian nodded in response.

"Nick, see you." John waved to Nick, and then ran towards the thief.

Guige Bay is not far from here, only a few kilometers away, and the bridge between Guige Bay and Thieves' Collar was rebuilt by John.

Moreover, it has been widened and thickened, and it is not a big problem to mount four horses in parallel.

After crossing the bridge, John saw that the thieves were building dormitories and building factories in full swing.

Kane was communicating with Zhao An and Dorom, as if he was confirming that the buildings on this 50-hectare island were suitable for construction.

"Kane, have you finished purchasing the equipment?" John asked after tying his horse and walking up to several people.

"Of course, we are discussing where to build the second workshop." Kane said.

"Are there any drawings?" John joined the ranks of construction.

"We're just discussing, maybe we should hire a planner to plan it. It's a big island here. In addition to bootlegging, I think it can also be a holiday estate or something. You can come here for fishing if you have nothing to do. What are you blowing, the scenery here is very good." Kane said confidently.

Gu "Great idea, Kane. Go to Heishui Town and find one, and plan the unbuilt areas here better." John nodded in agreement with this idea.

"Are you sure? I'll just say that." Kane said with some surprise.

"Don't you think what you're saying makes sense?" John asked back.

"That's true. I'll get someone to come over to take a look later, and let them make this a beautiful island." Kane agreed after looking around for a week.

"Zhao An, is there any problem here?" John randomly asked Zhao An on the side.

"No sir, they are very friendly." Zhao An shook his head and said that there is no problem. The people here don't have much hostility towards them, and they will come to help when they build dormitories and buildings.

"That's good, after the construction here. You and the group of young men will stay here to help. They are still very busy." John said.

"This is Kane, his words are the same as mine, and you can do whatever he tells you to do in the future." John specifically told Kane's status.

"I will tell them. Sir, where do Guotian and the others work?" Zhao An asked Zheng Guotian's whereabouts.

"In the base camp over there, you can ride a horse to chat with them or something, it's pretty close." John pointed to the direction of the camp.

"Can you?" Zhao An asked.

"Of course, you can go there now, as long as there is no trouble here, but it is best not to cross this fence, because you may encounter some unnecessary troubles." John reminded.

"Yes sir, I have made a note."

"Very good, by the way, come to the manor tonight, and I will arrange your accommodation for you. The manor is over there." John reminded Zhao An.

He also saw that Zhao An and Zheng Guotian were the first and second in command of the nine-person group, and it was necessary to arrange the proper accommodation for them.

"Yes, I see." Zhao An nodded.

After finishing the order, John and Kane went to the manor together after dealing with the matters of the island.

"John, the development of land has greatly reduced our financial revenue. Why do we recruit so many Qing people?" Kane asked John the reason why he recruited more than 200 Han Chinese at one time.

"One hundred of these women don't need to pay wages. We only need to guarantee their three meals a day." John explained.

"Is that so? That's much better. Otherwise, even a third of the normal salary for more than a hundred people is a big expense. But why do you have to accept so much?" Kane still doesn't understand.

"Did I tell you that my great-grandfather was Han Chinese?"

"Really?" Kane obviously didn't really believe it, but looked at John's appearance and said dubiously, "No wonder you treat them all very well."

"Tomorrow I may have to take a long trip." John suddenly said to Kane.

"Where are you going?"

"To the Great Snow Mountains in the northern part of Ambarino State."

Just north of Elizabeth is New Hanover, and just north is Ambarino. In the north of it is the continuous snow mountain range all the year round, where the environment is very harsh.

"What are you doing there?" Kane was curious about John's purpose.

"Going to meet some friends?" John took out a cigarette and lit it, and gave Kane another one.

"Who would live there? Do I know him?" Kane asked after lighting his cigarette.

"I know, but you haven't seen it. Do you still remember the robbers who made a scene in Heishui Town half a month ago?" John said after taking a puff of cigarette.

"The Van der Linde gang? I heard Lambert say that the gang was caught up by Pinkerton's detectives, and they fought a lot." Kane talked about the Van der Linde gang.

"Well, a group of people were killed or injured." John nodded.

"So you're going to find them? Is your friend hurt?" Kane continued.

"No, it's not him." John shook his head and then he looked at Kane "Are you trying to say something?"

"Well, they're being targeted by Detective Pinkerton. It's very difficult to save those friends, and it will take a lot of money. The Detective Pinkerton won't stick to it, so we have no advantage." Kane lost his head Said at the end.

"Not necessarily, what they want is continuous benefits. Once something goes wrong, they will catch the leader. Then let the others go, let them continue to do evil, and then catch the leader again when the government offers a high reward. Cycle Repeatedly, this is much more beneficial than encircling and suppressing the entire gang at once~www.wuxiaspot.com~John said his own judgment.

"So your idea is to persuade Detective Pinkerton to disband the gang after they catch their leader?" Kane guessed John's thoughts.

"Dutch is not that easy to catch. He won't be caught until all the gang members are dead." John naturally knew how difficult Dach was to deal with.

"I went to them not all to save people, there are still some things I need to do."

"How long will it be?" Confirming John's attitude of traveling far away, Kane didn't try to dissuade him, but asked about the approximate time.

"Maybe a few weeks." John said uncertainly.

"Well, then you pay attention to safety, we are here." Kane nodded and didn't say much.

"Yes." John nodded.

After the conversation, the two returned to the manor.
