At this time, Liang Dazhuang quickly walked into the meeting hall and said respectfully: "Young Master, Dayong merchant Zan Buliu has come to see you."
When Hu Xiaotian heard that Zan Buliu was here, he couldn't help but smile. He must say that Zan Buliu was a typical speculator. Last time, he went to Kangdu to lobby him, trying to make a big profit during the extraordinary period when Dakang was short of food and clothing.
It is difficult to make a country rich, but unfortunately his suggestions and ideas cannot solve the fundamental problems of Dakang, and Emperor Long Xuanen of Dakang also has other plans. Since the last time he met Zan Buliu in Kangdu, Hu Xiaotian has encountered one after another troubles.
And now, he has no time to even consider Zan Buliu's proposal, and the situation he faces does not allow him to consider it. Now Zan Buliu comes to him again. Businessmen are only interested in profit, and Zan Buliu is no exception. He
You must have something to look for when you come to find yourself.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Please come in, Mr. Zan."
Liang Yinghao and Xiong Tianba said their goodbyes and left. Not long after, Zan Buliu was led by Liang Dazhuang to the meeting hall.
Zan Buliu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Master Hu, are you alright?"
Hu Xiaotian stood up with a smile to greet him and said, "Mr. Zan, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Zan Buliu said happily: "The northwest wind is not only the northwest wind, but also the white-haired wind. It's very cold outside."
Hu Xiaotian quickly invited him to sit in front of the brazier: "Mr. Zan, come and warm yourself by the fire. Da Zhuang, let's prepare the wine and food. Today I want to have a drink with Mr. Zan. I won't get home until I'm drunk."
Zan Buliu chuckled and said, "No hurry, no rush, I'll just say a few words to Mr. Hu and then leave."
Hu Xiaotian winked, and Liang Dazhuang immediately went out to prepare.
Zan Buliu stretched out his hands and turned them over on the brazier to bake, and sighed: "It's damp and cold by the Yongjiang River. It's even more uncomfortable than the cold in the north. It feels like the cold is in the bones."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan is from the north?"
Zan Buliu nodded and said: "Businessmen are all over the world, and they have to go wherever there is business. After I met Mr. Hu in Kangdu last time, I never forgot about what you and I discussed, and went to the north to organize it myself.
Liangyuan, trying to make a fortune by taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity. Unexpectedly, I soon heard the news that Mr. Hu was on an envoy to Xichuan. When I returned to Xichuan from Moli, I heard that Mr. Hu was coming to Dongliang County.
Things have changed, and the plan has changed. I originally planned to join hands with Mr. Hu to show off his talents in Kangdu, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Hu would actually come here."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Zan is disappointed."
Zan Buliu laughed and said: "The world is unpredictable, and the current situation of Dakang is beyond the control of Mr. Hu. And I am too optimistic about the situation. In fact, even if my business can go smoothly, for Dakang,
It’s just a drop in the bucket.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although it cannot change the fate of a country, it can change the fate of a city."
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "This is exactly why I came here this time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan, are you interested in turning Dongliang County into a thoroughfare? I can give Mr. Zan the most favorable conditions."
Zan Buliu did not respond to Hu Xiaotian's question. He looked at the territory map on the wall and said with a smile: "Master Hu seems to be always paying attention to the situation in the world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "To survive in the cracks, I take every step carefully. I must understand what is going on around me."
Zan Buliu said: "Master Hu's current situation is indeed not good." He stood up and came to the map, pointing to the location of Dongliang County with his finger: "Although Dayong returned Dongliang County to Dakang, Dongliang County
The county borders Dayong on three sides, and the Yongjiang River is behind it. There is no natural danger to defend. Once a war breaks out between Dayong and Dakang, Dongliang County will probably be recovered by Dayong first. Dayong ostensibly gave Dakang a city, but it can
I am actually a hot potato. If Dakang garrisoned troops, once a fight broke out, these garrison troops would be wiped out like dumplings. So this may be the reason why Dakang has never garrisoned troops."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. He realized that Zan Buliu came today to discuss an ordinary business. Zan Buliu owned a world-famous Xinglong business and was the leading wealthy businessman in Dayong. Ordinary interests would never move him.
There are many ambitious businessmen in Chinese history, and Lu Buwei, who possesses rare goods, is such a typical character. Could it be that Zan Buliu in front of us is a similar character?
Zan Buliu said: "I heard that Mr. Hu is recruiting troops. After arriving in Dongliang County, he has formed an army of three thousand people."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan is very well informed."
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "I also know that most of these three thousand people are victims of the disaster who came from Dakang. The first thing Mr. Hu did when he came to Dongliang County was to disband the local self-organized escort team."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Because of this incident, I am still slandered by the people of Dongliang County."
Zan Buliu said: "Master Hu is a man with far-sighted vision, and he was really wise in disbanding the escort. Most of the people in Dongliang County are leaning towards Dayong, and the guards were recruited from among the people of Dongliang County.
How can you contribute to the great prosperity? It is precisely because you have seen this that you made such a decisive decision."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Zan seems to know me very well, so can you tell me what I really think?"
Zan Buliu said: "You must be completely disappointed with Dakang and unwilling to defect to Dayong, so you want to establish yourself in Dongliang County and achieve your great cause."
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly and said: "I don't have that big ambition, Mr. Zan is joking." He could not repay Zan Buliu's absolute trust. He had to first figure out what Zan Buliu's real purpose was in coming to him.
Zan Buliu said goodbye at this time, which surprised Hu Xiaotian. After analyzing the situation, this guy was about to leave without even explaining the purpose of coming? Could it be that Zan Buliu used this method to deliberately cause trouble?
His own curiosity? Hu Xiaotian tried to persuade him: "Mr. Zan, don't leave in a hurry. The food and wine are ready. We'll leave after dinner."
Zan Buliu said with a smile: "I won't leave here for the next two days, and I will definitely come to bother Mr. Hu. As for noon, I have already promised my friend, so I can only say goodbye first."
When Hu Xiaotian heard that he had an appointment, he did not force him to stay and sent Zan Buliu out the door. Although he was curious about who his friend was, he still refrained from asking questions.
After Zan Buliu left, Hu Xiaotian asked Liang Yinghao to follow him to see where he had gone. After he had a simple meal, he asked Visa to go to the Tongzi Hall with him. The weather suddenly turned cold in the past two days, and the Tongzi Hall took him in.
There are more than 500 children, and I don’t know what their situation is. Most of these children have no one to take care of them, and a large number of them are orphans.
Tongzitang is not far from the Yamen where Hu Xiaotian is located. In fact, Hu Xiaotian reduced the old Yamen by more than half, and the vacated rooms were used to accommodate these children.
The biting north wind brought bursts of cold and humid water vapor from the Yongjiang River. Outside the Tongzi Hall, many people spontaneously came to deliver food. Although the people in Dongliang County were mostly opposed to Hu Xiaotian's acceptance of refugees, they were opposed to his establishment of the Tongzi Hall.
Most of them agree to take in these poor children. Recently, many families have offered to adopt children here. Because the situation is unclear, Hu Xiaotian has not agreed to their requests for the time being.
Visa comes here almost every day, and the children are already very familiar with her. When they see Visa coming, they immediately gather around and call each other Sister Visa affectionately. They hear the children's joyful shouts and see their innocence.
With a bright smile, Visa couldn't help but feel sad. She held one's little hand and touched that's little face. She was very fond of these children.
Hu Xiaotian saw that Wei Sa was surrounded by children, but no one cared about him. He smiled and shook his head, and walked inside alone. When he walked into the courtyard, he heard a clear voice saying: "This word is called "人".
Let's support each other and remain standing. As a person, you should be strong and self-reliant. Adding one horizontal line is a big character. One day you will grow up. Adding one horizontal line is a big character. When you grow up, you will have to do it.
Be an upright man..."
Hu Xiaotian was attracted by the sound, but saw in the lobby ahead, a young man wearing a blue Confucian shirt was teaching a group of children to read. He must be equivalent to a volunteer in modern society. Hu Xiaotian had not seen him when he came here before.
Pass this person.
Not far behind the young man, a young woman in civilian clothes and jade hairpin was looking at him lovingly, holding a bamboo basket in her hand.
The young man spotted Hu Xiaotian first. He smiled politely at Hu Xiaotian. At this time, his class had finished and he said to the group of children: "You go and play!"
The group of children stood up together, bowed to him respectfully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu!"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian learn that the man’s surname was Zhu.
The young man surnamed Zhu smiled and walked towards Hu Xiaotian, clasping his fists and saying, "Hello, Mr. Hu!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and returned the salute to him: "I don't think I've seen my brother before."
The man said: "The person I am playing Zhu Guanqi is a local from Dongliang County. She is my wife Hong Lingxue."
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Hong Lingxue, who smiled faintly, and then returned his eyes to her husband Zhu Guanqi, full of infinite love.
Zhu Guanqi said: "Master Hu has a kind heart and is able to set up a children's hall in Dongliang County to save these children from disaster. It is really a great merit."
Hu Xiaotian said modestly: "It's not a great event with immeasurable merit. It's a pity that my abilities are limited and this is all I can do."
Zhu Guanqi said: "If every official in Dakang thought like Mr. Hu, Dakang would not be reduced to what it is today." He bowed his hands to Hu Xiaotian and said goodbye. When Hong Lingxue was about to leave with her husband, she suddenly covered her face.
He held his lower abdomen and bit his cherry lips tightly. In an instant, his pretty face turned pale and cold sweat fell from his forehead.
Zhu Guanqi was shocked when he saw his wife suddenly turned into this appearance, and exclaimed: "Ling Xue, what's wrong with you?"
