Chapter 361 Life-saving Supplies
"Don't say any more, Yingying, when I say that I want to marry you, I want to marry you, and I can't help you in this matter. What I Lin Jue wants to do, there is nothing I can't do. Now that you've calculated that you've taken the bait, you want to leave me aside? That's not to think about. I said before that I didn't want to be more in debt, and I didn't want to be entangled, but now that the matter has come to this, am I the one who has abandoned the chaos from the beginning? This matter is so decided, choose a good day, I will marry you, no one is allowed to object, no one can object. Lin Jue said quietly.
Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying looked at Xiang Lin Jue in astonishment. Xie Danhong thought proudly in her heart: Although my method is a bit indiscriminate, my idea is right, I grasped Lin Gongzi's weakness, and he really refused to give up. It's finally done.
Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue with a red face and said, "Childe...... Didn't you understand what I said? ”
Lin Jue said: "I understand, so what? I'm determined to marry you, and it's useless to say more. Whether it's persecution or indiscriminate means, I admit it. I will marry you, and you will not be allowed to disagree. ”
Xie Yingying opened her small mouth and was stunned for a long time, and said softly: "Is Childe so domineering?" ”
Lin Jue stared at Xie Yingying's face and said, "Yes, I'm just so domineering." If you enter my Lin family in the future, you will know that I will be more domineering, so it is best to be mentally prepared now. ”
Xie Yingying turned her face shyly, muttered for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "Got it." ”
Xie Danhong was overjoyed, but she didn't expect things to take a turn for the better. Lin Gongzi agreed to marry, Yingying also agreed, a bad thing, suddenly had an ending that he expected in advance, and he was really happy like those reunion plays performed by the Grand Theater.
"Great, it's wonderful, it's not in vain, I'm ...... I was so happy that I was about to cry. Xie Danhong wiped her tears and said.
Lin Jue frowned and shouted, "Sister Danhong, I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." You dare to do this to me, you are so bold. Don't worry, I'll take care of you. ”
Xie Danhong smiled and said: "Don't be angry, the slave family has no choice, the slave family kowtows to the son to make amends, don't worry about the son?" ”
"Hmph, I don't want to hear you ramble. I didn't invite Lang Zhong to take a look at Yingying's injury, and I don't know how heavy the injury was. By the way, don't take a few clothes for us to wear. Do you look at our unclothed appearance, do you want us to make a fool of ourselves? Lin Jue said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Xie Danhong got up and wanted to leave. Xie Yingying shouted: "Don't call Langzhong, I don't want to make a fuss, I'm fine." I'll go back to my room and rest. Whoever will help me go, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk. ”
Lin Jue asked with concern, "Is it really okay?" It hit hard. Is there any pain in your body? ”
Xie Yingying blushed and shook her head, and said in her heart: The pain on her head is very light, but some places are very painful now, and it is not your sin.
Lin Jue said: "Even so, there is really no need to publicize it. invited Lang Zhong to come, and everyone is afraid that everyone will know. It's good to go back to your room and rest. I'm not leaving tonight, I'll stay here to take care of Yingying, Mom, please send someone to my house to say something, just say that I will stay here. ”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and hugged Xie Yingying.
Xie Yingying blushed and whispered, "Childe...... It doesn't have to be this way. Having been loved by the son, Yingying is already happy in her heart, and besides, her body is fine......"
Lin Jue smiled and said, "What? Chase me away? ”
Xie Yingying hugged Lin Jue shyly and said softly: "Son, do whatever he wants." ”
Lin Jue smiled and walked to the door with Xie Yingying in his arms. Xie Danhong hurriedly went out to drive away several women in the corridor who were eavesdropping with their ears, Lin Jue came out with Xie Yingying in his arms, walked to Xie Yingying's boudoir in the west, and closed the door tightly.
That night, Lin Jue closely observed Xie Yingying's condition and found that Xie Yingying was indeed fine, so he was relieved. Lin Jue was worried that Xie Yingying would be concussed and leave sequelae or something, so he decided to stay and observe. Although Lin Jue felt that he shouldn't do anything at this time, the two of them had a new taste, and after experiencing what had just happened, they were in love, and finally couldn't help but linger in the middle of the night. Before, under the effect of aphrodisiacs, both of them were in a semi-crazy state, so they didn't feel good. But at the moment, when the same room is in the same room, it is the time to mix oil in honey, half pushing and half covering up, which is even more delicious. This cloud and rain will be blissful.
……
The cold wind was howling and the night was dark. On the outskirts of Ruzhou City, which is more than 1,800 miles away from Hangzhou, in the dark night, a large cart full of supplies is quietly walking on the rugged official road.
Liang Qi, who was five short and sturdy, walked at the back of the cart team, staring at the darkness around him with alert eyes, and even more nervously paying attention to the movements of Ruzhou City in the rear. It was only yesterday afternoon that he arrived in Ruzhou City. According to Lin Jue's explanation, he inquired in the city for a long time and chose a firm called Rongchang, because the scale of this firm is not large, and the business is average. Such a firm needs business the most.
Liang Qi went to see the shopkeeper of Rongchang Commercial Bank, and Liang Qi didn't say anything after seeing him, but just took out 11,000 taels of silver tickets and gave them to Zhao Dongjia of Rongchang Bank, and that Zhao Dongjia was immediately humble like a pug.
However, when Zhao Dongjia heard that this Liang Ye was going to purchase food and materials to send to the Song County area on the eastern side of Funiu Mountain, he was a little hesitant. Entering the Funiu Mountain Realm is no joke, where bandits are rampant, it is extremely unpeaceful. Who would dare to transport goods to and fro on the side of Funiu Mountain? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Not to mention that the bandits robbed the goods, the delivery people were afraid that it would be difficult to survive. And what made this Zhao Dongjia feel even more uneasy was that this Liang Ye had purchased so many food materials and sent them to the Funiu Mountain Boundary, and there was obviously something wrong here. Isn't this surnamed Liang a bandit in the mountains?
Liang Qi saw his concerns, so he told Zhao Dongjia that the things only needed to be sent to the official road near Luoyan Valley in Song County, and there was no need to go to the mountains. Dare to guarantee the safety of those who transport supplies. In addition, Liang Qi told Zhao Dongjia that the price of all materials and carriages, horses and manpower, Zhao Dongjia could add 30% of the price. In other words, if this business is completed, Rongchang Commercial Bank can make a profit of more than 3,000 taels. If Zhao Dongjia doesn't dare to make this money, then he will go to a second one, in short, the business is not benevolent, but there is no need to be entangled.
Liang Qi said this in accordance with Lin Jue's instructions. Lin Jue explained that when purchasing materials, he had to find those small and medium-sized merchants, because these merchants were under great pressure to survive, and there was generally no big business to come to the door. Especially in this place, although the city is not small, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a poor and remote area. Although it belongs to Gyeonggi Province and is only more than 400 miles away from the capital, it is not a prosperous place. Compared with the prosperous places in the southeast, and even the northern capital Luoyang Daimyo's Mansion and other places, this place is actually quite barren. In this kind of place, it is actually very difficult for businesses to survive, large merchants are okay, they can have the strength to do business everywhere, and small and medium-sized merchants are basically barely able to maintain business.
Although Lin Jue was not good at business, the experience of being in charge of the Lin family's business for several months also allowed him to come into contact with many small and medium-sized merchants in Hangzhou, and naturally knew their living conditions. Many small and medium-sized businessmen took the initiative to ask the Lin family to take care of their business, even if there was a little bit of meager benefit, they would be willing to cooperate. That's because their living space is squeezed so much. If this is the case in Hangzhou, it must be the same everywhere, so Lin Jue asked Liang Qi to find some small and medium-sized merchants to negotiate shopping materials. Because Lin Jue knew that these merchants would be desperate for the sake of profit, even if they knew the use of this material, they would probably dare to take risks.
Sure enough, in the face of the temptation of a huge profit of three thousand taels of silver if this sum was completed, Zhao Dongjia could not refuse. You must know that the net profit of his Rongchang Commercial Bank in a year is only 800 taels, and this one is done, but it is his income for four years. Therefore, even if Zhao Dongjia smelled that the identity of this Liang Ye was very suspicious, he was still willing to fight. The so-called wealth and danger are sought, these years to support the bold and starve to death the timid, I can't watch this business run away, as long as I do it carefully, there will be no problem at all.
Zhao Dongjia agreed, and then began to make a big purchase in Ruzhou City. Without Liang Qi's orders, Zhao Dongjia himself did it carefully. He knew that large-scale purchases were dangerous and would raise suspicion among some. So he buys from some small merchants whose business is dismal. This is actually a distraction. One purchase and multiple purchases dilute the risk. At the same time, these small merchants will also be grateful to themselves, so why not?
By the end of the afternoon, all the supplies had been purchased. The next conundrum was how to get so much material out of town without arousing suspicion. Zhao Dongjia gave full play to his ingenuity and adopted the strategy of breaking the whole into parts. The more than 50 large trucks were divided into seven or eight teams, and several groups were scattered out of the city from the east, west, south, and north cities, each group was only three or five vehicles, thus successfully avoiding the discovery of the officers and soldiers who were being interrogated when they left the city. Although it was quite time-consuming, the materials after leaving the city had to be gathered in the west, so it was busy until the third watch, and the whole convoy was able to gather on the official road in the west of the city.
Looking at the convoy of large sums of supplies that could not be seen, Liang Qi breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, the most difficult procurement hurdle has passed. Of course, the next thing is not easy, it is also a difficult task to rush more than 100 miles before dawn, and deliver this material to the official road east of Luoyan Valley before it is discovered by the defenders who refuse to defend Song County. In any case, this task must be completed.
The convoy started, and the moon was dark and windy in early October, the road was rugged, and the cold wind was biting. More than 50 large cars headed west in the dark. The next four hours were simply difficult, and several large cars on the road accidentally overturned in the mountain road, unable to be cleaned up. Liang Qi had to give up these materials and move on. When the sky was bright, passing the south side of Song County, Liang Qi's heart almost rose to his throat. At this time, if the defenders of Song County find out and send troops out to investigate, it will be all over. There is no reason for the convoy to continue west in Song County, and no one will carry a large number of supplies into Funiu Mountain, unless it is to go to the bandits.
Liang Qi recited thousands of words of Amitabha Buddha Guanyin's blessing, perhaps this had an effect. Although the defenders of the southern city seemed to have spotted the convoy in the hazy morning light, they did not choose to go out of the city to investigate. An hour later, when the sun was shining on the mountains, the convoy arrived at a valley mouth east of Luoyan Valley.
