Chaos
Luo Heihu nodded and said, “There is indeed a person surnamed Qi who was talking to me about business recently. They want our caravan to purchase their cloth from their family.”
“In addition, I hope to reach a cooperation with our caravan to manage our products, but I have never agreed to them.”
“Recently, Yangzhou has not been peaceful. The city is undercurrents due to Lin Yushi’s illness. There are refugees and disaster victims living outside, but there is no one to manage them.”
“It’s about to turn into a civil uprising, so I’ve been thinking about whether to stay in Yangzhou.”
After Luo Heihu finished speaking, he quietly waited for Yang Guang’s order. He knew that Yang Guang would definitely not say meaningless words.
Since Qi Yang was mentioned, there must be his intentions.
“If you reject him, you will say that you will not cooperate with dishonest people.” Yang Guang said directly after hearing this.
After hearing this, Luo Heihu nodded and said, “Yes, do you need to teach them a lesson?”
Luo Heihu felt that since he said that, there must be something in the Qi family that offended this master.
It just happens to be good to use Liwei.
But Yang Guang shook his head and said: “No need, we will settle this matter later, let’s solve the problem of salt merchants first, the banquet for my apprenticeship is two days later, you should make preparations in these two days, I need some people to guard the outside by then, But don’t be run away.”
Luo Heihu suddenly realized,Dare to feel that this apprentice banquet is also part of the plan.
That’s right, with the strength of my own master, as long as these people are gathered together, it’s basically a catch.
As for bringing people with him, on the surface it looks like he’s helping, but in fact he’s just serving as a helper to prevent the people inside from escaping.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Heihu said: “Master, is this going to catch them all?”
Yang Guang looked at Luo Heihu and said, “Why, do you have any acquaintances?”
Luo Heihu nodded and said, “There is indeed a person who came closer, that is, the tipper I told you about earlier.”
“Here I want to apologize to you. Without your permission, I promised him that I would give him some business.”
Yang Guang didn’t care about these things, but he was very satisfied with Luo Heihu’s ability to admit his mistakes on his own initiative.
I saw Yang Guang said with some relief: “The general will not accept the fate of the foreign emperor. If you can seize the opportunity, you will seize it. There is nothing wrong with it. I am not that kind of pedantic person. Work hard. I am optimistic about you.”
Yang Guang left, but Luo Heihu didn’t pay special attention to Yang Guang’s words about the fate of the general.
Ordinary people are unlikely to say such things, and those who say such things may not want to be kings in their hearts!
So, how long will it take?
Luo Heihu felt that since the master said so, he should do something.
Luo Heihu, who was walking home, saw many ragged people along the way. It is winter now. Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River actually makes the cold penetrate into the bone marrow.
“Grandma, when will we be able to have food? Does the official care about us?”
“Keep your voice down, the official doesn’t have time to take care of us, we can only rely on ourselves, let’s go, I heard that there are people in the back kitchen of Yipinju serving porridge, if you go late, it will be gone…”
Listening to their conversation, Luo Heihu’s eyes gradually shone brightly. He seemed to know what he was going to do.
When Luo Heihu returned to the shop, he immediately contacted the grain merchant in Yangzhou, and he asked for a big order of 10,000 shi.
Almost made the grain merchant think that he was just having fun, but when Luo Heihu handed over the money, the grain merchant was not calm anymore.
Of course he can afford 10,000 shi of grain, but why does this guy buy so much grain?
The shopkeeper of the grain store said with a smile: “It’s not that the old man is meddling in his own business, it’s just that the season is not right now, please tell me what you plan to do with the grain.”
I only heard Luo Heihu say lightly: “My master is kind-hearted, and he gives porridge outside the city.”
This result made the shopkeeper of the grain store grit his teeth. Well, rich people burn too much money. If you dare to buy it, why don’t I dare to sell it?
Paying the money and delivering the goods, the grain store also thoughtfully delivered the grain to the shed built by Luo Heihu outside the city.
The outside of Yangzhou city and the inside of the city are like two worlds. The people inside are singing and dancing, peaceful and drunk, while the people outside are starving and helpless.
The officials did not give relief, and even organized people to buy outside the city.
buy what? Of course, it is to buy anything of value, good things in the hands of refugees, such as antiques, and of course there are more direct ones, people!
Human teeth are picked as if they were animals. From time to time, they open human mouths to see if the teeth have fallen out.
No one wants older people, but the most popular ones are girls and boys in their teens.
Because of these people, the outside of the city is actually a little more lively.
Obviously those refugees hated people to death, but they had to rely on selling themselves or their children to survive.
Ask for yourself and for your children!
“Your child is not good. He is too thin and looks sick. I’m afraid he won’t be able to support him.”
A sallow and emaciated child said after having his mouth opened by someone’s teeth.
The man who brought the child had tears in his eyes.
The man who was obviously seven feet tall knelt down in front of Ren Yazi and begged at this moment: “Please show mercy to the shopkeeper. This child is not sick, but hungry. I don’t ask for money, I just ask for someone who can stutter and live.” That’s it.”
No matter how much the man begged, Ren Yazi didn’t even look at it and said: “Go, go, go, if you say no, you don’t want it. If the girl can still take care of her, then forget it, kid. Let’s find a place to dig a hole.”
Hearing these words, the man’s fists were clenched tightly, and he tried his best to restrain his urge to punch this man’s teeth to death.
It’s just that the man’s sand bowl-sized fists and thick arms with exposed veins were still seen by Ren Yazi.
Ren Yazi suddenly became alert and said, “What do you want to do? Let me tell you, there is a land camp stationed outside. Our master and Mr. General are also called brothers and sisters. If you want to die, you can try.”
The man didn’t speak, but silently led the child and turned around and walked out of the bamboo shed. The man behind snorted coldly and stopped looking.
Looking at the long queue outside, the shopkeeper Renyazi let out a long sigh of relief, “It is said that times of famine are sad, but this is our harvest year.”
“You guys. Look carefully, pick out the good-looking ones, and see if you can raise a few skinny horses. Those ordinary ones, just sell them as maids. Be vigilant and don’t let them run away.”
“Yes, don’t worry, you must choose carefully and carefully!”
“If you run away, you can ask me!”
The boys all nodded and bowed their heads while talking, catering to the old shopkeeper Ren Yazi.
Before I started moving, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: “Someone is serving porridge!!! Quick, stop selling yourself, someone is giving porridge!”
