Chapter 18: A Call for Help

In Jiangyin, Zhang Da'an, the county magistrate, was looking at the few people who came to visit playfully, these people still looked light-hearted, and their mouths were full of poetry and books.

It's just that the unconscious peeking of the eyes still betrays their hearts.

He had already heard that there had been no cargo ships at the mouth of the sea in Zhejiang for almost a month. Hundreds of traders hanged themselves, and the matter was very troublesome, and the whole of Hangzhou shouted and shouted to kill at first, but the "pirates" let out a word, and Zhejiang could have a boat into the Yangtze River to go to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and count them as waste.

Someone asked Yu Chang to help answer, but who was the one who followed Yu Chang to learn calligraphy? It is the two younger brothers of Zhang De, the Jianghan observer. Yu Chang will only help to be a middle-aged person when he is crazy, if he really wants to do this, Yu Shinan can crawl out of the coffin and get him.

Yu's bets in many places are true, but it doesn't mean that Yu's is an idiot, seeing that the ship is strong, he has to touch it with his head, this is not self-defeating, what is?

A one-month blockade can directly cause various crises to break out in the entire Zhejiang water basin. Employment crisis, food crisis, production crisis...... If there is no official blood transfusion, the locals will directly flip the table and eat large households, which is the simple folk customs that "there were three kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty".

Without sea ships to transport grain, one can only count on the canal.

But what is the canal for? That's the emperor Lao Tzu asked you to transport the grain to him to eat, not the emperor Lao Tzu to transport the grain to you to eat.

Besides, since the "pirates" dare to speak, how can they let the ship cross the river smoothly? If you can't cross the river, don't you have to count on the grain of Suzhou, Changzhou, and Runzhou?

But where is there more food surplus in Su Chang? Suzhou has long begun to import a large amount of grain, of which Jiaozhou rice, Liuqiu rice, Korean rice, Japanese rice, and Guangzhou rice combined, have been four or six different from the local rice. If it were not for the continuous operation of water conservancy and the continuous expansion of acres of land, just by rectifying Kunshan, the number of acres of land would be increased by 6.7 million, otherwise the pressure would be really great.

As soon as I heard that the "pirates" blocked the estuary of Zhejiang, the first thing the state and county magistrates did was not to say "pull the brothers next door", but to hold a meeting three times and five times, and no matter how high the price of Hangzhou people was, they should not sell it.

It is true that bureaucrats love money, but they also have to spend it to count. If there is a mess under his rule, unless there is a sea of gold and silver, it is an ironclad thing to be demoted.

How much does it cost to sell it to make it back?

Besides, those who can be officials in Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, can they lack a few dollars to sell rice?

"Hui Niang, now that the creditor is coming to the door, the Xu family can't collapse. For the sake of the same Xu family, I hope that Hui Niang will help and help! ”

"What is this second uncle, the adults are still here, and they are the 'Hunan Civil Engineering Ambassadors', and the ancestors and ancestors will also think that the court is restored and the family is noble. How could it collapse? ”

Xu Hui looked ignorant, and looked at Xu Xian, the "second uncle" in the clan, with some puzzlement. Although the Changxing Xu family recognizes Xu De as "long", Xu De, the patriarch, where can he compare with Zhang De. In the old year, the Xu family collapsed, Xu De lived in Chang'an for a long time, how could the Changxing people inexplicably respect an "outsider" who had never met in the case of geographical isolation?

Even if this "outsider" is theoretically the patriarch, it is impossible to bow down as soon as he is hot.

So over the years, most of the people of the Changxing Xu clan have been controlled by the clan elders and the heads of the family. Xu De is a face, when he needs to brag, he takes it out and uses it, and when he doesn't need it, he naturally throws it aside.

When Xu De was the "big guy" of the weapons supervisor, Changxing Xu also had an idea, but unfortunately Xu De soon rolled away to Saibei, and for various reasons, his daughter was stuffed into the kennel of a certain local dog. In the face of Zou Guogong, Lu Deming, Yu Shinan and other "giants", the Xu family didn't say resisted, so he asked if there was still a big girl who lacked a warm bed.

Changxing Xu's germination, that is, from this time.

It's just that Changxing Xu's became Huzhou Xu's, and it doesn't have much to do with Xu De, although Xu De sent his daughters and sons to his hometown one after another for the sake of decency, but the Xu clan people are also "respectful and disrespectful" to Xu De himself. How can some precocious children tolerate a group of turtles "playing" their fathers like this?

However, "under the fence", Xu Hui was naturally just unhappy, but he didn't fight for Xu De.

After all, Xu De was promoted to an official, no matter from which point of view, her Xu Hui's status was above the entire Xu family.

Especially the marriage of Jiangshui Zhang's family, in the past, he thought that he was making a fortune, at most, he thought that he had climbed the high branch of Zou Guogong. He had ever thought that the son-in-law of the Xu family was the "dog that bites people and doesn't bark".

But at this moment, the dog that didn't bark actually barked......

"Hui Niang! Hui Niang...... For the sake of the same Xu clan relatives, you can't ignore it, you can't ignore it! ”

Xu Xian, who originally boasted of being a romantic family in the Southern Dynasty, actually burst into tears at that time, and then knelt down for Xu Hui. Not only did he kneel, but even several other clan elders and parents knelt down. The elders kneeling in the house, and the juniors under the eaves of the porch outside naturally knelt along.

So from the inside of the house to the outside of the house, from the outside of the house to the porch, from the porch to the atrium, from the atrium to the outer courtyard...... The dominoes were similar, kneeling in a loud voice, and everyone knelt in only one direction.

At this moment, Xu Hui not only did not feel panicked, but had an unprecedented joy in his heart. She knew that at this moment, these Xu men, the entire Xu family, they were masters and slaves, life and death, and it was actually between the thoughts of her little daughter.

"The female saint in Beijing is nothing more than that."

Xu Hui thought of only Empress Changsun, instinctively......

It was not without the anger of the younger generations of the Xu family, but before they could get up and shout irritably, they were poked in the waist by their own father and eldest brother.

There is no doubt that if Xu Hui is offended, the entire Changxing Xu family will be ...... by creditors, partners, traders, and officials Tear to shreds.

Because that situation can only show that a certain earth dog is not willing to deal with them at all.

"Second uncle, third uncle...... Hurry up. What is this for? My little daughter has lived in a deep house for a long time, and I don't know what is going on outside. ”

The natural and innocent appearance seems to be an innocent beautiful girl, who doesn't know anything, doesn't understand anything.

Seeing this, Xu Xian gritted his teeth, regardless of what decency and romance, he directly raised his head and said with tears: "In the old year, I was ignorant, I thought I had a plan, and I fooled my brother!" In the future, all the properties of the Xu family will be filled with family property, big and small things, and there will be no words from the elder brother, and they will not be counted! Each property industry, I also asked Hui Niang to tell my brother on my behalf, and asked Gao Ming to come and take care of ......"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a frying pan.

A young man suddenly stood up and roared: "We have worked hard for many years!" A dignified man, kneeling to the little woman is already a great shame, is it difficult to give up such a foundation?! Could it be that we all have to obey the orders of this cheap ...... who lives here in front of us."

Laugh at!

"Ahh

There was a miserable scream, but he saw a horizontal knife slashing through, and the person holding the horizontal knife slowly wiped the blood stains on it with a cotton cloth, and then coldly looked at the Xu children who were covering their mouths and howling on the ground: "So I can say it, my mouth is still a little smaller." ”

With the knife in the sheath, the man looked around and said, "Drag it away." ”

Everyone was surprised, but when they saw that they were just miscellaneous servants on weekdays, they actually walked out and dragged the children of the Xu family who were full of blood like a dead dog, directly lifting their legs upside down and dragging them out unhurriedly.

All that was left behind was blood all over the ground and the screams that kept coming.
