Before dawn the next day, Ye Tianxiang ordered all the soldiers and horses to march to Hangzhou. Hu Dutong allocated one hundred infantry to the Hangzhou camp. With Ye Tianxiang as the commander, he rushed towards Moyun Village.
This operation was carefully planned by Ye Tianxiang, and his sergeants had rested for a night. They were full of energy and physical strength, like wolves and tigers. These were elite soldiers selected from the Suzhou camp and had extremely strong combat effectiveness. For a group of bandits,
They didn't take it seriously at all. Everyone just came to suppress the bandits with the mentality of practicing their knives.
Everyone knows that it takes less effort to deal with a small village than to kill a chicken. It is really an easy task to defeat Moyun Village.
In the hazy morning light, the large group of people were like curved snakes, swimming toward Moyun Village at extremely fast speeds.
Of course, Xue Poye would not go with the army. When Xiao Pan came back, he only had four words: "Evacuate safely!" Therefore, Ye Tianxiang's operation must have failed.
Although I feel a little ashamed of Ye Tianxiang, I always have to sacrifice something in order to develop my own strength. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will make some compensation in other aspects.
…
Xue Poye followed the location described in detail by Xiao Pan and finally found Nan Huaiwu's thatched cottage in the suburbs of Xicheng, Hangzhou.
It is very secluded here, with four or five families living together. The houses are very simple, but the houses are surrounded by green grass and trees, which look very beautiful and clean. Several children are sitting under a tree, reciting ancient poems seriously.
To the west is a rice field, and several farmers are weeding with hoes, simple and hard-working.
Xue Poye quickly recognized Nan Huaiwu. This was not because Nan Huaiwu was easy to recognize, but because among these farmers, although Nan Huaiwu was also wearing coarse clothes, he had a certain calmness about him.
The nobility and generosity in his bones are the unique temperament cultivated and cultivated in a wealthy life, which is very different from that of a real simple farmer.
Standing on the edge of the field, Xue Poye carefully looked at Nan Huaiwu who was weeding with a hoe. This man was very thin and his body was very thin. After several years of working as a farmer, his skin was very healthy, with a bronze luster, and his muscles were also thin.
He is very powerful, about forty years old, and gives people a deep and determined feeling.
He seems to have completely adapted to the life of a farmer. He works very seriously and is very dedicated. For him, it is a responsibility to work seriously and support the family.
The wind is blowing in the rice, and the green rice is like the undulating blue sea, exuding the fragrance, making people feel comfortable all over the body.
"Who are you looking for?" A farmer finally saw Xue Poye on the field ridge and asked enthusiastically.
Several farmers heard the sound and looked this way. Only Nan Huaiwu was still hoeing seriously.
Xue Poye said with a smile: "These crops are so well planted, there is always a good harvest?" After saying that, he did not dislike the dirt on the ground, and sat on the grass on the edge of the field, looking at everyone with a smile, but his eyes did not leave for a moment.
Nan Huaiwu.
The farmer sighed, took a rest with his hoe, shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of a good harvest? If you don't have to pay rent, what's left? I always want to buy some beautiful new clothes for my mother-in-law, but this
I had to live hand to mouth for several years, and the clothes were very expensive, so I couldn’t always buy them.”
Xue Poye nodded slightly. After all, this era was still a feudal society that focused on the interests of the landlord class. Farmers rented land for farming. After a year, there was really nothing left.
Seeing that Nan Huaiwu was not looking here, Xue Poye sighed and said, "Mr. Nan, I wonder if I can have a few words alone?"
He called Mr. Nan, and several other farmers were at a loss. Nan Huaiwu was stunned for a moment, stopped, turned his head, and saw Xue Poye looking at him with a smile, waving his hand and saying: "You have recognized the wrong person!
"
Xue Poye smiled leisurely. He was sure that he had not admitted the wrong person. He still had good eyesight. He smiled and said: "I'm afraid I have admitted the wrong person. Can this big brother come to your house to ask for a drink of water?"
Nan Huaiwu was obviously very surprised. He had been found here after living in seclusion for many years. His originally calm face showed a trace of helplessness. He picked up his hoe, said hello to several farmers, and walked straight to his home.
Since he was found, he obviously had something to talk about, and it seemed that the visitor would not return without success, so Nan Huaiwu simply took Xue Poye back to the thatched house. He did not want the farmers to know his true identity.
.
It is not a very honorable thing for a business star to rise suddenly and then fall quickly.
Nan Huaiwu's house is simple and clean, with a pole in front of the door.
Xue Poye sat down on the small bench and felt the unique scenery of the suburbs. The continuous rice fields filled the sky and the earth, seemingly endless. At the end of the sky, the cloudless sky was as smooth as satin and as clear as lake water.
.
Nan Huaiwu came out soon, holding a gourd made of pumpkin. The pumpkin gourd was filled with clear water. Xue Poye took it and took a sip. It was sweet and delicious, so he drank the whole gourd of water, wiped the corners of his mouth and handed it to
He returned to the pumpkin scoop and said with a smile: "It tastes good, it tastes good!"
Nan Huaiwu remained calm and said calmly: "Now that you've drunk the water, please help yourself. I have to go to work in the fields."
Xue Poye touched his nose and said leisurely: "Mr. Nan, who was so famous for a while, is actually willing to farm. If he told it, I'm afraid not many people would believe it."
Nan Huaiwu did not deny it. He looked up at the sky with a calm expression and said slowly: "Everyone has to live, and this is the life that is most suitable for me!"
Xue Poye pondered for a moment and said seriously: "But this is not your destination!"
Nan Huaiwu sneered, looked back at Xue Poye, and asked: "Homecoming? Do you know what my home is?"
"At least you are not wasting your talents in the fields!" Xue Poye said slowly: "God has given you extraordinary abilities, and you should use this ability to benefit the people."
"Ability?" Nan Huaiwu seemed to laugh at himself and asked, "Are you referring to my ability to be squeezed out of Hangzhou by the Lu family?"
Xue Poye also sneered and said calmly: "It turns out that you have always remembered this incident and have been sinking in this kind of failure."
Nan Huaiwu said with a sullen face: "It is not your turn to blame me, Nan Huaiwu." He waved his hand and said coldly: "If there is nothing else, I will not accompany you."
"I, Xue Poye, have always respected Mr. Nan's talents, but I never thought that he could be such a cold and arrogant person!" Xue Poye stood up, put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Have you lost the courage to talk to me?"
Nan Huaiwu's body trembled, he looked at Xue Poye carefully, and murmured: "Are you Xue Poye?"
He has naturally heard of this name. Xue Poye's reputation has resounded throughout Hangzhou in a short period of time. He single-handedly saved Yuexuan from collapse and saved Mrs. Wang from danger.
In addition, the two newly opened Hanyuan Gardens have become the leaders of Hangzhou's catering industry. Even the Lu family's "Huiyuan Pavilion" is so crowded by Hanyuan Gardens that it is about to close.
Each of these things sounds very simple to say, but to actually do it requires unparalleled courage and clever and clever means.
Xue Poye was not proud and said respectfully: "Mr. Nan is a person I deeply admire, so I took the liberty of visiting you today. I hope you won't take offense!"
Nan Huaiwu was silent for a long time and then said: "I only have one sentence, beware of the Fang family, there is nothing you can teach me!"
Xue Poye saluted. Although this was something he had already understood, he still thanked him and said, "Thank you, sir, for teaching me." After a pause, he added, "I think sir, you already know the purpose of my trip!"
Nan Huaiwu smiled indifferently and said with some vicissitudes of life: "Do you think I will return to the mall?"
Xue Poye said seriously: "At least we should do something for the people."
"Do things for the people?" Nan Huaiwu said with a sneer of disdain: "What can a businessman do for the people in pursuit of profit? Didn't you hear just now that Qin Laosan couldn't even buy a new dress for his wife, so why talk about it?
Seeking fortune?”
"But I can guarantee that if you can come out of the mountain, Qin Laosan can buy two new sets of clothes for his wife!" Xue Poye looked at Nan Huaiwu confidently, with expectation hidden deep in his eyes.
Nan Huaiwu smiled softly and stared at Xue Poye with a very disdainful expression on his face.
Xue Poye said calmly: "Jiangnan is the hometown of silk. If the people here can't even buy clothes, I don't know how the people in other parts of Dachu will live." He touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "
Hangzhou Silk is a dominant company, and the market controlled by it will always be higher than its own value. I think sometimes only competition can make this imbalance disappear without a trace."
Nan Huaiwu sighed: "It's a good idea to have this kind of idea, but unfortunately there are always some things in the world that we can't help, and this is especially true in shopping malls."
Xue Poye couldn't help but grab his fist with his left hand, and said with certainty: "Sometimes even if there is no choice, you still have to grasp it with your own hands and fight with both fists. And what I need is Mr. Nan's fist!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Nan Huaiwu's eyes, but he did not speak.
"Absolute power will cause absolute corruption, and in shopping malls, absolute power will cause extreme unfairness in the market. So I hope Mr. Nan and I can break this imbalance and lower prices, at least to Mr. Qin.
Sanneng can buy new clothes for his wife." Xue Poye said in a calm voice and seriously: "So I will wait for Mr. Nan in Hanyuan, and I will wait forever." After saying that, he handed over his hand and said no more.
Turn around and leave.
"That's right!" After walking for more than ten steps, Xue Poye stopped and did not look back. He just said calmly: "What I want to say is that I have formed an alliance with the Qiao family in Suzhou, so in addition to benefiting the people, I
I think we can still wipe out Mr. Xue’s shame!”
Nan Huaiwu looked shocked. He really couldn't imagine that such a beautiful young man could be related to the Qiao family, a well-known business family in Chu. It was quite incredible.
