There was a lot of laughter in the private room, and it was clear that the contact between the buyer and the seller was good.

The scalper gently closed the door at the door, nodded flatteringly to the dozen or so sturdy men who were watching like falcons near the staircase, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Originally, I thought that this group of sheep living in Yipinxiang Inn was just a group of foreign plates with money and grain, at most some local tyrants, although there was a full taste of rivers and lakes in their words and deeds, but he also thought of some group exercises for self-protection at most.

Where I thought it was the stirring of the Ming hinterland that messed up half of the sky?!

However, from the thick procurement book in Liu Tichun's hand, this scalper seemed to see a mountain of gold, "Red guy! To buy so many things, according to the rules, I only take a penny of my head, which is enough to open a small shop! Yesterday, I heard that the east bank of the Hongjiang River all the way to Yangshupu was going to be bought by the commercial bank, so I had to hurry up to find someone who speculated on the land and eat those reed ponds by the river, so that I could sit on the ground and build a house to collect rent! ”

He did think about it, bought those barren beach land by the river, did not need to work hard by himself, only needed to apply for a license from the business zone, and let the wind go here to build a house, and then naturally someone would come to the door with a wallet to ask for a partnership to build a house. He can be a rich man with dough! Just like Hahuizi on the road today, he only has to collect rent every day, which makes everyone's stomach tight.

However, for the strange but promising characters inside, he had to shake his head helplessly. Although they are all the owners of his rice class, they are also quite disdainful: "Since the ancient Taoist soldiers and bandits family, now I have really opened my eyes, the procurement of thieves and the procurement of officials and soldiers can be carried out together, what kind of group buying!" ”

This scalper is short of knowledge!

In this Ming Dynasty, there are some gold and silver exchanges between officials and soldiers and thieves, bandits, horse thieves, and poles, and it is normal to communicate whether they have done some business.

The officers and troops of the Nine Frontiers had a great deal of special business with the thieves and the Mongol tribes in Liaodong, and the officers and troops in the interior had to find another way to do some small business with the bandits and bandits in various places.

But. It's really good to do business with the enemy. It should have been the army that had made its mark in Shanghai three hundred years later by wielding swords and axes against comrades in the same camp.

The Tongji Company, which was opened by Mr. Du, a well-known maritime scholar, was engaged in trading with the Japanese army, transporting cotton yarn and other valuable materials from the occupied areas in Shanghai and other places, escorted by Japanese puppet troops along the way. And what the Japanese army exchanged for was also the strategic materials such as tung oil and pig bristles that they urgently needed. Both sides can be said to take what they need.

But. No matter how good Mr. Du is, he is just a non-governmental person. Those who really made great contributions to the material support of the Japanese army were the generals at all levels of the national army. Every time the Japanese army launched an offensive because they wanted to raise supplies. They would rather starve their soldiers than save rice for storehouses; It is better to let his soldiers groan and die of pain and be wounded and disabled, than to keep the precious medicine that the Flying Tigers have spent gold to hire over the Hump route. A large number of fine weapons from the arsenals of democratic countries were not even opened, let alone issued to the ignorant and illiterate soldiers, so that when the Japanese army arrived not far from the station, they quickly led the troops into the warehouse, and even handed over the warehouses to the Japanese army intact. Not a single match is reluctant to throw it into the warehouse, which fully meets the fire safety requirements.

The stomach was the rice provided by the national army, and the medicine provided by the national army, and he was wearing an overcoat that the national army was reluctant to give to the soldiers, carrying the machine gun of the national army, and using the American cannon of the national army. The cost of the war of the Japanese army can be said to be extremely low, and if it continues to fight, I believe that there will be a regiment of American armor divisions in the Japanese army.

Compared with the comrades who fought on the Eighth Route in North China and against the British and American ghosts in the South Seas, it can be said that it was very difficult and difficult to deal with the Japanese troops who were the main force of the Anti-Japanese War, and they had to keep running away, accepting warehouses, and carrying materials until early August of the 45th year. So much so that when some commanders threatened their subordinates, they threatened with troops transferred to North China or South Seas.

"Since the people of your family just went to Shanghai to temporarily rest and replenish grain, grass, water, vegetables, meat, and have nothing to do with me and others, then our business is still going on as usual."

Through a long brass pipe, the sound in the private room was well transmitted to the secret room that was separated by a room.

"My host is just ordered to go north to Liaodong for reinforcements and deal with those Tartars, and it has nothing to do with you. Let's just go about our business. ”

"I said Huang Shopkeeper, our Zuo Town has brought nearly 50,000 people down the river this time, and there are a lot of gold, silver, wealth and valuables, how many things can you give us in exchange?"

"Well said! Say! As long as Mr. Zuo has something to offset the payment, our goods here are complete and sufficient. ”

"Then you should quickly arrange someone to go to the Shanghai County Wharf for delivery, if you die of illness and starvation, then you can't complain about me!"

Li Shouhan, who was sitting behind the table, couldn't help but scold, "It's all heartless!" ”

Li Huamei and Li Peiting, who were sitting opposite him and eating snacks and drinking tea, looked at each other and smiled, how many years have passed, Li Shouhan's temper has changed a lot, but the importance of ordinary people's lives cannot be erased by anyone.

Of course, some people will say that he is doing it for his own interests, such as developing Nanzhong, occupying local territory, building his own industrial system, waging reckless warfare everywhere, and so on.

In addition to reclaiming wasteland so that these people who have no livelihood can have food and clothing, the people who migrated from the interior of the country by various means were more used to carry out industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction, change the demographic structure of the locality, and gradually evolve the indigenous people who had lived here for generations into a Chinese lineage.

Such an approach is a gradual encroachment and assimilation, which is exactly the opposite of the whale swallowing policy of the Western colonizers. "This is a lie of 90,000 miles. The husband deceives the far away, and it is believed that he has no different aspirations. And I swallow my ears without worrying about them. I don't know that this opportunity is ingenious, and when it comes to a country, it will destroy a country, and it will attack its country, and it has been swallowed for more than 30 years. It is difficult to find those who are far away, and the nearest is Luzon, and Misogo, and Zamboanga, and the chicken coop and fresh water, all of which kill their lords and take their people. It only takes a few people to crush a country. In fact, this is evidence-based. ”

But. This policy of encroachment is better than holding a Bible in your hand. Western gentlemen with firearms in their waists worked much better.

"Lord, I will arrange for someone to go outside the county seat of Shanghai to receive those people. Arrange food and accommodation, distribute some clothes, and send Langzhong to check their health. "For this kind of deed to receive displaced people from all over the world. Li Peiting is already quite proficient. The people at the bottom have a complete process and system. How to select leaders, form teams, distribute food, and arrange accommodation among the homeless. A qiē is cooked and flowing.

Today, Shanghai, and even several nearby counties, are dotted with shantytowns of various sizes along the banks of the Huangpu River, and those makeshift houses made of wood and straw mats are temporary residences for these displaced people.

Every day, these homeless people can enjoy multigrain rice made from grains such as dried potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, and in order to make it easier to preserve, these dried sweet potatoes are generally oiled when the zuò is made, and they are accompanied by pickles such as radishes pickled in salted salt. In the past, people who didn't even dare to eat more salt could occasionally be rewarded with extra vegetables because they were good at their work and ate oily dishes such as salted fish and stewed meat.

The first thing almost all the displaced people did when they settled down in Nanzhong was to set up an immortal tablet for Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan in their own homes. These people may not know that we should set up a dragon card for the emperor, but they know very simply, who let us survive, who let us have fields and jobs, for the buckets of multigrain rice sent when we were almost starving to death, and full of pickles to eat, this immortal tablet must be erected.

When this kind of thing was sorted out into a dynamic sample by the eyeliners of the General Inspection Administration and sent to Shouhan, he could only smile bitterly.

However, he has read some reports, and the people who were sent to work in those years recalled the events of the period of decentralization, and they all gritted their teeth and hated it, and even pointed the finger at the chairman intentionally or unintentionally. It seems that the embodiment of the root of all evil is him.

Shouhan once saw in a TV talk show that a certain big white fat man who is famous for writing and directing chamber dramas mentioned that his father, who also had a wonderful performance in a famous drama teahouse, was sent to work, and ate wotou pickles for two years in a row.

(However, the same famous work that describes the Republic of China and the liberation of the mansion also mentioned that if you want to eat all the food, it must be a good year, and you have to be treated by strong labor.) And the people who can guarantee that they have pickles to eat all year round are definitely envied and envious local tyrants in the village. ）

It was the father of this white fat man, Hesheri Ruocheng, who was born in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and later became the Minister of Culture after setting things right, but he was soon taken down again. It is rumored that an important fundamental reason for being taken down is that in a Western-filmed movie "Little Living Buddha" with the theme of Uszang, the great lama he played said in an authentic London Oxford dialect of English, "Uszang is an occupied country." "If you do something like this, any country will take you down. Imagine that a certain minister of John Bull, when he went to a Broadway show, said that Scotland is an independent country, and see if 10 Downing Street will break out? Poor Nakhsheri family, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in order to stop the division of the country, to maintain the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty and countless descendants died on the battlefield, can be described as a loyal martyr, how can there be such unscrupulous descendants?

"They all eat pickles, why is there such a big gap between ordinary people and elites who have read big books, are educated, knowledgeable and educated?!" Shouhan cursed in his heart, and continued to listen to the message passed from the brass pipe.

Over there, Huang Yiwei and several buyers had reached a consensus on this transaction, and broke into Cao Erjia, Xiying, and Zuozhen, the four armed forces that were rampant in the Central Plains and the Jianghuai Hehan region, and signed a contract with Long Shengxing for group purchases, covering everything from shoes and socks to armor, from grain and rice to meat, from tung oil and pig bristles to artillery gunpowder and so on.

In order to ensure the smooth conclusion of the deal, the five families jointly stated that they would choose several key cities along the river and along the river as neutral areas, where their personnel and property could enter and exit freely, and the rest of the houses were not allowed to attack. In the event of an attack on a neutral zone. It is regarded as a complete enemy of Long Shengxing and the rest of the family.

After this contract was orally concluded, there was a strange scene along the Yangtze River, the Han River, and the Yellow River: a small city, inconspicuous, but always able to stand alone in the face of the attacks of the armies that came and went, like a dilapidated boat that was constantly rising and falling in the midst of a raging storm and tide, but never capsized. Far from being damaged by the fire, a deformed scene of prosperity has emerged because of the constant flow of people and goods gathered and distributed here.

This is a later story, so I won't press the table for the time being.

"Little Sanzi! Come in and get your errand money! ”

There was a shout from the private room, and the scalper, who was spitting his pipe at the top of the stairs, immediately shoved it to the cousin next to him. I hurriedly ran over.

"This time, Liu Ye, Li Ye, and Luo Ye bought a lot of things. Naturally, the price should not be too high. However, we can't let you suffer! In this way, we will give you a commission according to the rules of buying and selling real estate! ”

The so-called rules for buying and selling real estate are to break into three. The Chinese can take an 8% cut of the benefits between the buyer and the seller. Imagine those cages piled up in the Yipinxiang Inn. Xiao Sanzi immediately felt dizzy because of brain ischemia.

"Can I buy the entire county seat of Shanghai?"

"Little Sanzi. I've heard of how you behave on the street, you little red guy! If you have some silver, you have to take a group of little brothers to eat old wine and listen to tunes. After three drinks and two meals, I went to find a few red girls. Your hard-earned money is gone. In this way, I will be the master for the masters, and these pieces of your money will be stored in my business, and you will take the change and use it, but I will not take you for nothing. I think you have also heard that this business zone is going to expand, your silver, I will count it as your share capital in the business zone, whether it is to build a house for rent or build a stack warehouse, in short, you have a share? ”

I have become a shareholder of the business zone, and I will walk in this Jiangnan in the future, and hand out a famous post, who dares to underestimate me? The little third son immediately nodded in thanks.

"A few masters! Give a small face, I will treat you to Tsinghua Pool tonight, and a full set of Yangzhou masters will serve! It is said that there is also a recent Yangzhou skinny horse draft there! ”

A lively laughter came from the brass pipe, followed by the sound of pushing the door and going out, and the corridor suddenly became lively.

"Shopkeeper! The accounts of these masters are all taken care of by me! Help call a few wagons outside! The high-spirited little third son's voice was an octave higher.

For such a thing of getting rich overnight and going bankrupt overnight, the shopkeeper has already seen a lot in this business area, and he won't care about the villain's rich face at the moment, just silently thinking about how to keep the account so that this little deflated third little red guy can't see it. With a smile on his face, he nodded and sent a group of people out.

Liu Tichun was stepping on the pedals of the carriage with both feet, but saw several horses galloping on the opposite street.

"What's going on? If the light is blind, you are not afraid of bumping into people! At a small stall nearby, the stall owner muttered to make the lantern on his stall brighter so that he would not be hit by a galloping horse.

Liu Tichun, Luo Ruxin, Zhang Dingguo and others immediately raised the alert level to the highest, as long as the other party was a little abnormal, they immediately hijacked this Huang Da shopkeeper, and then even if they burned this business area to a white ground, they must not be exposed, let alone be captured by the officials and soldiers!

But fortunately, only three or four fast horses came over from the other side, and the one who rode immediately was only a young officer leading the way, followed by a man dressed as a eunuch, and two guards.

Such a person thought about it, and he also went to the street to find someone to buy things, and suddenly Liu Tichun, Zhang Dingguo and the other three people put their hearts in their stomachs.

However, it seems that Huang Yiwei intended to make things difficult with the three people, and when he saw that the officer was galloping quickly, he didn't want to leave quickly, but he talked with the officer there.

"But it's the commander of Shi! Why, Commander Shi didn't supervise the ships by the riverside, but he was also interested in coming here to drink tea and eat snacks? ”

Shi Lang didn't bother to quarrel with this Huang Yiwei, so he just threw the reins of the horse to the little guy who greeted him in front of the door, "A certain family was originally on the dock to pick up the boat, and I don't want to see the big owner in an emergency." This Du Gonggong came from Beijing to deliver the decree, and originally planned to go to Hue, but today he went to Shanghai to replenish and stop. I didn't want to, but I happened to meet our fleet outside Wusongkou, so I followed it together! ”

Liu Tichun and the others originally erected their ears to listen, what news did this eunuch bring from Beijing, and what did Chongzhen's old man have to give this Nanyue army, which claims to be undefeated, but was interrupted by Huang Yiwei's actions, after he said goodbye to Shi Lang, he boarded the car with a smile, and the group went to Qinghua Pool, the largest and most luxurious bath in the business area, under the guidance of the little third son.

"The emperor sent the eunuch to Li Shouhan, definitely not to ask him if he had dinner. I'm afraid that there is a new move against the tens of thousands of troops heading north. Hurry up and end the transaction here, and go up the river overnight to see your father! ”

Zhang Dingguo was analyzing like lightning, but Zuo Liangyu's subordinate Wei Ye over there looked at him with a smile, "Please pay more respects to Ling Zun on behalf of my general." Please let the Zunda walk with confidence! We will never stop you! (To be continued......)

PS: I have a cold, everyone forgive me.
