Feng was breached by the Yellow River, the victims fled in all directions, Heze, which is located in the upper reaches, naturally became a gathering place for the victims, Fengxian, Yutai, Jiaxiang, Jinxiang, Jining and other disaster-stricken counties were flooded in a steady stream, Yuanqi and the local gentry and wealthy households opened more than 30 large and small porridge sheds outside the city, and it was difficult to take care of everything.

Experienced victims of the disaster have spontaneously and consciously continued to flee the famine, and they know very well that even if there is relief, they cannot stay longer, and the subsequent victims will gather more and more, and once the food for disaster relief is exhausted, they will sit back and wait for death, and they will not even have a chance to escape from the famine, and the sooner they go, the farther away from the disaster area, the greater the chance of survival.

Every day, a large number of victims come in waves, and a large number of victims are hurrying to the north, west, and south aimlessly, with only one belief and goal - to stay away from the disaster area!

"It's time for soup kitchen! Soup kitchen! Hurry up, hurry up and get in line! With the shouting, the victims flocked to the village, consciously lined up in front of the porridge shacks, and after a few days, they were already aware of the fact that they did not queue up and did not give porridge.

Just when the victims were lining up to receive porridge, a man dressed as a gentleman in his early thirties stood on a bench and said in a loud voice: "I am Yuanqi's shopkeeper in charge of Heze disaster relief, my surname is Shi, and everyone listens to me." ”

After a pause, everyone who saw it looked over, Shi Yunfu said loudly: "This time the scope of the disaster is large, the affected population is large, in order to ensure that everyone can get relief, we Yuanqi urgently purchased and transported a large number of grains from all over the country to hoard in the counties and towns along the way from Kaifeng to Xi'an, everyone fled the famine, and went west, along the way there are Yuanqi's disaster relief porridge sheds and disaster sheds, and there are guide signs along the way. ”

For many people who have never left the county, fleeing the famine is simply aimless, completely blindly following the trend, and no one knows which direction to flee.

As soon as Shi Yunfu's words fell, a group of victims immediately discussed, and some of the bold victims raised their voices and asked: "Shopkeeper Shi, didn't you hear that Yuan Qi emigrated to Nanyang?" Why did you change Xi'an again? ”

"Good question!" Shi Yunfu said with a smile: "Nanyang immigrants need a large number of ships, there are too many people affected by the disaster this time, Yuanqi does not have enough ships to immigrate to Nanyang, everyone can't stay where they are, right?" Why let everyone flee west, because this year's Guanzhong has a bumper harvest and plenty of food! ”

"Let's flee to Xi'an, can we survive? Xi'an is a big city, and there is wasteland for us to reclaim? ”

"It's freezing this day, can we go to Xi'an alive?"

"Don't worry, everyone!" Shi Yunfu raised his hands and pressed them weakly, and said in a loud voice: "Yuan Qi spent so much silver to help everyone, could it be that it was done to lead everyone to a dead end?" Rest assured, since Yuan Qi guides everyone to Xi'an, he will definitely give everyone a way to live! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then raised his voice: "There are thousands of ways to escape the famine, everyone can flee wherever they like, this is your freedom!" I just told everyone that Yuanqi has opened porridge sheds along the way from Heze to Xi'an, and how to choose is your freedom! ”

After speaking, he arched his hand to the surroundings, no longer paid attention to everyone, jumped off the bench and turned around into the porridge shed, he knew in his heart that Xi'an is not the end, Xinjiang is the end, but Xinjiang has always been a bitter cold place for exile and army, and the road is very long, if you really want to say it directly, I am afraid that no one wants to go.

He had just entered the porridge shack when a scholar in his early thirties chased after him and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Shi Yunfu looked him up and down, and bowed back: "What's the matter with Your Excellency?" ”

"The surname is Wang, Jiaxiang." Wang Jisheng said with a smile on his face: "I don't understand, why did Yuan Qi guide the victims to flee to Xi'an? ”

Shi Yunfu frowned and said, "Mr. Wang shouldn't want to escape the famine, right?" ”

"I'm just a poor scholar below, and if I don't run away, I won't have a way to live, besides, there are many clansmen." Wang Jisheng said and lowered his voice: "Two years ago, I heard that the Nanyang Navy was stationed in Yili, Xinjiang, and the imperial court intends to reform the border politics and immigrate to the real border, this time Yuan Qi should not be an immigrant to the northwest, right?" ”

"In Xiabu, there is only a temporary disaster relief manager, and many things are not very clear." Shi Yunfu said slowly: "However, there is one thing, Mr. Wang should understand that no matter what, Yuan Qi will not harm these victims. ”

Wang Jisheng said in a deep voice: "This is going to Xi'an, more than a thousand miles, has the stone shopkeeper considered, when we arrive in Xi'an, it must be cold and freezing, and we can't continue to go west, so many victims gather in Xi'an, Yuanqi can be properly settled?" ”

"Mr. Wang is too worried." Shi Yunfu said: "How could Yuan Qi joke with the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of disaster victims? ...... around this affected area. He drew a circle with his finger, "By sea, there are those who immigrate to Nanyang, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and land, and those who immigrate to Hubei, those who immigrate to the Northwest, and those who immigrate to Shanghai, and those who ..... who immigrate to Shanghai." ”

Sensing that he had missed his mouth, he hurriedly turned the conversation back, "Yuanqi has a semicolon in Luoyang, Xi'an and other places, and our big shopkeeper has quickly contacted the Shanxi ticket number to mobilize grain, cotton, clothing and other materials to transport Xi'an, which can definitely ensure that the victims survive the winter." ”

Sure enough, it's immigration to the northwest! Wang Jisheng didn't ask any more, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the shopkeeper." ”

Shi Yunfu hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, Yuan Qi will not force anyone to ...... ”

"Rest assured." Wang Jisheng said solemnly: "I know the severity of the matter, and I also believe in Yuan Qi." ”

Shi Yunfu was not at ease after all, for fear that this scholar would ruin Yuan Qi's plan, so he turned around and arranged for his men to closely monitor the actions of Wang Jisheng and his party.

Xianfeng lined up a few folds on the table one by one, and pointed: "A mere northwest immigrant can actually make a Qincha, a governor, and the governor of the four provinces ...... excerpts. ”

Hearing his tone was not good, Mu Zhang'a hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Su Wanyu and Lu have a small twist of chaos, if the victims are not properly relieved, it will inevitably be twisted, and it is reasonable for the local governor to support Yuanqi immigration." ”

"This is to persecute me to tell the world and encourage immigrants to the northwest! I was forced to issue an edict and ordered the provincial and county officials along the way to vigorously support immigration to the northwest! Xianfeng was annoyed in his heart, and his tone was unconsciously a little higher, "Last year, I forced the Navy to prepare for the construction of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and now I am persecuting me to encourage immigration to the northwest!" Is he content with me? But there is still the imperial court? ”

Seeing that Xianfeng was angry, Mu Zhang'a hurriedly kowtowed a few times, but in his heart he felt that Xianfeng's anger was a little inexplicable, and he opened up to let Yuanqi immigrate to Nanyang and Northwest, which was proposed by the imperial court, large-scale immigration to the northwest is not a trivial matter, and it is still a disaster victim, so that local officials can vigorously support it, which is also the meaning of the question, why is it so annoyed?

It seems that forcing Xianfeng to agree to let the navy prepare for the construction of the Yangtze River Naval Division has stimulated him a lot, how to persuade him? His mind turned quickly, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, the reform of border politics, immigration to the real border, immigration to the northwest, immigration to the South Seas, are all national policies set by Emperor Xuanzongcheng. ”

Hearing him raise the Daoguang, Xianfeng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Why did Yuan Qi take such a lot of trouble to immigrate to the northwest? ”

"Back to the emperor." Mu Zhang'a hurriedly replied: "The large-scale immigration to enrich Xinjiang is to consolidate and assimilate Xinjiang and resist the encroachment and annexation of Xinjiang by Tsarist Russia. ”

Xianfeng glanced at him and said, "In other words, Yuan Qi has plans to expand his army in Xinjiang?" ”

Not only is it a plan, it is already expanding the army, Mu Zhang'a hesitated, and then said cautiously: "According to the view of the slave, even if Yuan Qi intends to expand the army, there is no need to choose to ...... in the northwest. ”

"Not bad." Xianfeng laughed and said: "To prepare for the construction of the Yangtze River Water Division, Yuan Qi will openly expand his troops by 20,000 or 30,000!" It's about to catch up with the size of the Nanyang Navy! ”

Mu Zhang'a didn't know how to answer this for a while, he simply bent down and didn't speak, Xianfeng glanced at him, and slowly calmed down, although he felt aggrieved and unhappy, but he still prioritized it, if this matter was not allowed, Yuan Qi was likely to leave it alone, so many victims could not be properly relieved, it was definitely a big hidden danger, one was not good, and it was really possible to break out large-scale chaos.

After being silent for a long time, he spoke: "Let's draw up the purpose, from the border political reform and the actual side of immigration to emphasize the important ...... of immigration to the northwest." ”

Mu Zhang'a Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Shanghai, Zhenhai Gongfu.

Lin Meilian, who was wearing a beige tweed coat, walked into the study slowly and handed over a report from the palace: "Sir, this is the newspaper that has just been delivered." ”

After looking her up and down, Yi Zhizhi smiled and said, "The hairstyle is a little unmatched, if it is curly hair, it will look better." ”

"Western women are born with curly hair." Lin Meilian smiled and turned around, "This tweed coat is very eye-catching." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled, "The tweed army coat will be more eye-catching." Saying that, he lowered his head and opened the newspaper, the first page was Xianfengming's edict, calling for encouraging immigrants to the northwest, and urging Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang provinces and counties to actively cooperate with immigration to the northwest, although it was expected, he was still quite pleased, with this edict, Yuan Qi could immigrate to the northwest with great fanfare in the future.

Lin Meilian asked: "Sir, I heard Mr. Bao say that immigrating to the Northwest is more expensive than immigrating to Nanyang, and Mr. Bao also said that immigrating to the Northwest is a loss-making business, is this really the case?" ”

Yi Zhishu casually flipped through the newspaper, and said slowly: "From the current point of view, it is indeed a loss-making business, but in the long run, it can be called a million profits, which can be regarded as a long-term investment." ”

"What kind of profitable business?" With the words, Yan Shikuan walked in quickly, and when he caught a glimpse of Lin Meilian's outfit, his eyes lit up, "It was designed by the big shopkeeper again?" ”

Lin Meilian smiled, "The shopkeeper Yan has good eyesight." ”

"What kind of good eyesight does this need?" Yan Shikuan smiled: "Except for the big shopkeeper, who has this ability?" As he spoke, he said with a shy face: "Third brother, help my brother and daughter-in-law design two models." ”

"Go to Meilian's tailor." Yi Zhizhi said and asked, "Five days, right?" How's it going? ”

"Addicted! Addicted in two days! Yan Shikuan's eyebrows fluttered, and when Lin Meilian came out of the room, he said excitedly: "Fluttering immortals, this thing is far from being comparable to opioids, or it is much more powerful than morphine, can it be produced in large quantities?" ”

Yi Zhishu asked rhetorically, "How do you use it?" ”

"I have tried rolling it in a cigarette roll, swallowing it, sucking the powder through my nose, rubbing it in my mouth with my fingers, and the effect is good." Yan Shikuan said excitedly: "According to them, the effect of this thing is several times better than opium, and it is very convenient to use." ”

"What about the other effects?" Yi Zhizhi said: "Efficacy, antitussive, analgesic, etc. ”

"What's the need to say? Much better than opium. Yan Shikuan said eagerly: "Big shopkeeper, if this can be produced in large quantities, it will definitely be a source of money." ”

"Rolling in money?" Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "What else is there in your kid's eyes besides silver?" ”

Yan Shikuan said, "The big shopkeeper is tinkering with this thing, isn't it to make money?" ”

"There is a life to earn, and there is a life to spend." Yi Zhizu said softly, the production process of aspirin and No. 4 has been perfected, and now it is fully capable of mass production, but how to sell it, he is still a little hesitant, and it is certain that it will be sold to the outside world, but he knows that this thing is more powerful than opium and morphine, and once it comes out, it will definitely flood and be out of control.

Have a life to earn, and a life to spend? Yan Shikuan said with a puzzled face: "What do you mean by the big shopkeeper?" ”

Yi Zhizu rolled his eyes and said, "Why did we break out the war with England?" ”

"Isn't it because it's non-smoking?" Yan Shikuan blinked his small eyes and said, "The big shopkeeper is worried that this thing will cause a war?" ”

"The dumping of opium triggered a large outflow of silver, and the imperial court made a painful decision to ban smoking." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "Think about it, this thing is dumped in large quantities to Western countries, and a large amount of gold and silver is outflowed, how will Western countries react?" ”

Yan Shikuan was speechless, and after a while, he said unwillingly: "How about dumping to the Japanese country?" ”

lit a cigarette, Yi Zhizhi said slowly: "This thing costs a lot of money, and it is far more expensive than opium, trying to sell it in the Japanese country, but some of the gains outweigh the losses, at least for now, the gains outweigh the losses, I pondered, for the time being, I will sell it as a drug, as a cough medicine, analgesics, and anesthetics, and launch it with aspirin, and see how the market reacts." ”

Yan Shikuan glared at a pair of small eyes and said, "Isn't this a tyrannical thing?" Selling pork raw as cabbage? ”

Yi Zhizhi glanced at him angrily, "What kind of brain are you?" ”
