Chapter 337 Futures Trading
Zhong Yi said that he would do it, and immediately let Zhao Hanxing start to act.
As Zhong Yi expected, there are really many rich landowners or squires who want to transfer to the rear but are unable to guarantee their safety in Langxi County.
The Zhang family, who is engaged in the tea business, is one of them.
Tea is the pillar industry of Langxi County, and every household grows tea.
Therefore, in Langxi, there are also a lot of tea merchants who sell tea, and the Zhang family is one of them.
The Zhang family can only be regarded as medium among the tea merchants in Langxi, and it is precisely because of this that when the little devil hit Langxi, the old lady of the Zhang family did not rush to run back, but stayed by luck, thinking that the Japanese may not be fierce and evil, they beat Langxi, and they also have to eat and sleep, and drink tea.
Maybe the Zhang family can also take the opportunity to expand the tea business.
However, the cruel reality has taught the Zhang family a painful lesson.
After the devil broke the city, he wantonly burned and plundered in the city, and the Zhang family almost suffered.
Fortunately, the national army soon returned to Langxi, and the Zhang family was lucky to keep the tea shop.
But in recent days, there have been rumors that the Japanese devils are going to fight back to Langxi County again.
Hearing the news, Master Zhang was anxious and hurried home to find Mrs. Zhang.
"Grandpa, no!" Zhang Shiliang said, "I heard on the street just now that the devil will soon return to Langxi County, let's run away and go to Wuhan." ”
"To Wuhan?" Old lady Zhang smiled bitterly, "It's easy, how to go?" There are tens of thousands of catties of tea in the shop, and our grandchildren are easy to do, pack a few changes of clothes and leave, but what about the tea? ”
Zhang Shiliang said: "Grandpa, when is this, and do you care about those teas?" ”
"How can it not be done?" Mrs. Zhang said, "The backlog of tea in the warehouse, but all the belongings of our old Zhang family, if these teas are lost, our old Zhang family will be finished, even if our grandfather and grandson go to Wuhan, what to eat and what to wear?" Do you beg on the streets like refugees? ”
Zhang Shiliang immediately fell silent.
At this moment, a gong suddenly sounded outside.
At this time, it was already dark, and there was silence on the street outside, so the sound of the gong was very abrupt, and the ancestors of the Zhang family couldn't hear it if they didn't want to.
Immediately after, a loud voice sounded.
"Langxi's fathers and fellow villagers, good news, good news!"
"We are the 367th Regiment of the Central Army, in a few days, our regiment will be pulled out and driven to Wuhan for training, if you want to go to Wuhan, you can go with our 367th Regiment!"
"Our 367th Regiment will provide armed escorts free of charge!"
"If you want to go, go to the shelter and register as soon as possible!"
Old lady Zhang's heart moved when she heard this, and asked Zhang Shiliang: "Shiliang, is this 367 regiment the 367 regiment guarding Nanjing?" ”
"Grandpa, it's the 367th Regiment guarding Nanjing." Zhang Shiliang nodded and said, "There are several shelters in our Langxi, which contain a lot of defeated soldiers who have retreated from Nanjing, and the soldiers of other troops are constantly stealing, and there are even open robberies, but the soldiers of this 367th regiment have never done evil, and they are very disciplined." ”
"In this way, the safety of the 367 regiment is really guaranteed." Old lady Zhang nodded, and said, "I just don't know if they are willing to provide protection for our family's tea?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhang Shiliang frowned and said, "People are marching, and the speed must be guaranteed, and it's okay for people to follow, but with so many goods following, it will definitely slow down the march." ”
Old lady Zhang smacked his cane and said, "If it's okay, just ask if you can't find out." ”
After speaking, Mrs. Zhang turned around and walked out, her steps were fast, Zhang Shiliang hurriedly followed, and said urgently: "Grandpa, you go slowly, slow down, don't fall!" ”
……
At the same time, at the eastern part of the city, the containment station.
The first visitor has already arrived.
This visitor's surname is Yan, his name is Wufu, and he is a cloth merchant.
This boss Yan also had a bad year, bought a large number of Western calico from Shanghai, and prepared to sell it to Yishan County, but as soon as he walked to Langxi, he bumped into the devil and broke the city.
Fortunately, the national army quickly recovered Langxi County, and the devils didn't have time to transport this batch of cloth away.
However, the porter hired by Boss Yan ran out, and the money on his body was also spent on the garrison to return this batch of cloth, and Boss Yan originally wanted to sell some of the cloth and return a little money to save the emergency, but the result was disappointing, even if it was sold at cost price, no one bought it.
is still the previous sentence, the liquidity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai has dried up, and the economic order has been completely destroyed, so the boss should not say that at cost price, even if it is a loss, he can't sell a piece of cloth!
Yan Wufu didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Head Zhong, have you ever been to Yixian?" ”
"Okay." Zhong Yi said, "If we want to enter Jiangxi through Jingdezhen, we must pass through Yixian." ”
Yan Wufu's eyes lit up and said, "Then, can you bring me and my batch of cloth?" ”
"No problem." Zhong Yi said briskly, "It is the duty of our army to protect the safety of people's lives and property, this is what we should do, of course there is no problem with this." ”
"But." Yan Wufu hesitated, "My cloth may be a little too much." ”
"That's easy." Zhong Yi said, "It's enough to hire porters, now there are so many refugees in Langxi, the price is very low, and you can hire a large number of porters without spending money and just needing to eat." ”
"But, but......" said Yan Wufu in embarrassment, "I have no money to hire a porter." ”
"Well, that's a bit of a trick to do." Zhong Yi said, "Boss Yan, you also know that our army has baggage, and the soldiers are already very tired just carrying the baggage, and they can no longer carry additional burdens. ”
"Head Zhong, please help me!" Yan Wufu, who was already desperate, knelt down in front of Zhong Yi very shamefully, "If you don't want to help me, then I really have only one way to die!" ”
"Boss Yan, hurry up, what are you doing?" Zhong Yi hurriedly picked up Yan Wufu.
Yan Wufu saw that Zhong Yi was a kind-hearted person, so he simply leaned on the ground and refused to get up, and said: "Commander Zhong, if you refuse to help me, I can only kneel and die here, and there is no way to live anyway." ”
This profiteer! Zhong Yi was disdainful, but he said, "Boss Yan, aren't you embarrassed for me?" ”
"Head Zhong, please show mercy and save me." Yan Wufu cried out loud, "Help me figure out a way." ”
Seeing that the heat was almost there, Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Boss Yan, if you want to say a way, there is really a way, but I don't know if you are willing or not." ”
"What's the solution?" Yan Wufu immediately pricked up his ears.
"That's right." Zhong Yi said, "Our group bought your batch of calico ...... at a tenth price."
"A tenth?" Yan Wufu immediately jumped up when he heard this, "Why don't you go and grab it?" ”
