It seems that Wang Yufei wants a lot of things, but in fact he wants a lot of things. If he uses a small boat with a cargo capacity of 2,000 tons to pull it, it will take more than ten trips back and forth.
There is everything here, including steel, coal, crude oil and metals, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even two top-notch luxury cars and a small private jet.
Judging from the complexity of the goods, the northwest warlords are now basically stretched. However, this is not incomprehensible. After all, they have just experienced a fierce battle, and now the area they occupy is still in ruins. It will take time to rebuild. , for them these supplies are also in very short supply now.
But there is one thing to say, Wang Yufei really likes to do business with these old guys, just because he would rather go hungry than default on the debt, they are very good partners.
Now things are being shipped here one after another, and the new year is officially here. This is Wang Yufei's first year in this place. He originally planned to go to the surrounding cities, but he was dragged and dragged by the villagers to stay in the village. Chinese New Year.
The only reason to blame is that he arranged his life experience so badly that his whole family was wiped out by the imperial court. This led to the villagers discussing with each other and forcing him to stay during the New Year because they were afraid that he would be alone and helpless outside.
It was spring when he came here, and before he knew it, another spring came. This year, because of Wang Yufei, the life of the village was really turned upside down. Days that he could not even imagine in the past, now Not only that, but a school has also been built in the village. Mr. Hao said that after the New Year, he will invite a few friends to teach here. From now on, all students in the village can take classes here for free.
"To be honest, the imperial court has not always been like this."
Sitting in the hut warming up by the fire, several aunts and sisters in the village are busy making New Year's Eve dinner for Wang Yufei and Mr. Hao, the bachelors. The surroundings are lively. Wang Yufei and Mr. Hao are all busy today. It's a rare leisure time and a chance to sit there and have a good chat.
Through chatting, Wang Yufei learned that Mr. Hao is really fucking awesome... He has been called a child prodigy since he was a child. He entered the preparatory class of Zhonglan University at the age of thirteen, and was already a graduate student at Zhonglan University at the age of sixteen. , received four degrees at the age of twenty-two, and is still known as the legend of Zhonglan University.
At the age of twenty-four, Mr. Hao was spotted by the prime minister at the time and was recruited as a staff member. He participated in major affairs such as diplomacy, military, and economy, and co-founded four bureaus and one library. The fourth bureau includes now two heavy factories, a shipyard, and a train factory, while the first building is the Progressive Student Union that was later judged to be a rebel.
At the age of thirty, the former prime minister died of illness, and then the new emperor ascended the throne. In the same year, a war with alien civilizations began that lasted for more than twenty years. It can be said that Mr. Hao's life is the magnificent history of this empire.
Although he slowly changed from a rising political star in the spotlight to a fugitive prisoner with a heavy bounty on his head, he was still someone who had seen the empire in its prime.
"At that time, the whole country and even the whole world were improving, and generations of legends were born. Did you find a problem? That is, the education rate of people over 40 years old is very high, but the education rate of people over 30 years old is very high. The following things begin to get worse year by year, and social stagnation and regression begin with the fight against poverty and illiteracy.”
Wang Yufei nodded. He had indeed discovered this problem. He would not go into details elsewhere, but just talked about the situation in the village. The illiteracy rate among the forty-five-year-olds was actually no more than 20%, but when it came to the red During my generation, the illiteracy rate had soared to 70%. This is a very scary thing. Education is a major issue related to the future of the country, and anti-illiteracy means that the future is gone.
"It can't be saved." Mr. Hao looked out the window: "I just hope it won't suffer too much pain when it dies. Ordinary people can't withstand such turmoil."
Wang Yufei smiled and shook his head: "It's impossible. When such a giant falls, it will inevitably shake the mountain."
Mr. Hao actually knew in his heart that what he said was just a beautiful expectation. In fact, Mr. Hao still missed that beautiful era, and his emotions towards the world were complicated. In comparison, Wang Yufei is much simpler.
Just do it and it's done.
In other words, the reason why he does not identify and belong here is that he does not know this era at all. The Song calendar has been used in his place for thousands of years. Later, although the social system continued to change with the productivity, it was still nominally the inheritance of the Song Empire. , the country’s name has not changed so far.
After arriving here, he didn't know whether it was gold or not.
However, after listening to Mr. Hao's words, Wang Yufei finally figured out where the stubbornness of this era came from. It has not always been this stubborn, but it has been better, broader, and more vigorous in the past. , it’s just that it got sick, became poor and blind, and ruined its future with its own hands, like an old beast. Although it is still trying to show off its power with its few remaining manes, all it sheds is full of Ground lice.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things during the Chinese New Year." Mr. Hao noticed Wang Yufei's deep thoughts, so he interrupted his thoughts with a smile: "The future world will be shaped by you young people. It is what it is.”
Just as he was talking, the sound of firecrackers outside started, and the children's laughter came in through the window, and Sister Hong also walked in at this moment. She was wearing new clothes and her face was red from the cold. She seemed to be making trouble with the children. She was the one for half a day.
"It's so cold."
Sister Hong sat down next to the stove and fidgeted several times before finally settling down. Wang Yufei joked with her: "You are a typical example of losing face for the sake of face."
"You're talking nonsense. You even wore a bedding and went out for three hours today and you're still freezing."
Wang Yufei lifted up his coat and said, "Gamble! I'll go out and stand for three hours now, and I'll make sure I'm alive and kicking."
After saying that, he was about to walk out, but Sister Hong dragged him at the door: "If you are going to die, you are really going to die. Don't go crazy!"
Mr. Hao sat there eating grilled oranges and just laughed while looking at the young people messing around. Looking at such high-spirited teenagers, it was like seeing himself decades ago in a trance.
This year, thanks to Wang Yufei, the farm has a bumper harvest in just 21 days. The first crop of pigs, cattle and sheep were also put on the market a year ago. Even if a large part of it is to be supplied to the county, it still cannot be harvested. It’s enough for this small village to have a great year.
With meat in his mouth and oil in his belly, no one mentioned Wu Zhuo anymore. Even those who had been friends with him for decades no longer thought about him. They just said that Lao Wu was confused and had suffered all his life. But failed to catch up with the good times.
The New Year's Eve dinner was sumptuous, and Wang Yufei also enjoyed it. He was a glutton and couldn't get used to that kind of high-tech food, but the simmering pork belly and chicken thighs still simmering in the pot suited his taste.
But this kind of peace was interrupted not long after the drink. Before the wine was over thirty, there was a knock on the door outside. When he opened it, it was County Magistrate Gao's secretary. He said breathlessly: "Mr. Wang." , something happened."
"Come in quickly." Wang Yufei let him into the room and brought him a glass of water: "What happened?"
The secretary sat on the chair and drank the warm water in one gulp: "Lin County's people are confronting us."
"Why?" Wang Yufei frowned: "What went wrong?"
"Isn't it because they are short of supplies? They said before that they wanted to borrow some supplies from us. County Magistrate Gao gave some, but they were not satisfied, so there was a conflict. The Magistrate of Lin County brought 10,000 Many people were confronting each other there with weapons, and County Magistrate Gao asked me to come to you to find a solution."
Wang Yufei turned to look at Mr. Hao: "Uncle Hao, I can't handle this kind of thing, otherwise..."
Mr. Hao pursed his lips and then stood up, gesturing toward the secretary toward the door: "Please lead the way here."
Watching them leave, Wang Yufei picked up the chicken thigh from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth. He patted Sister Hong on the shoulder: "Stop eating and work."
"I just wiped my mouth... I didn't eat anything." Sister Hong followed closely and followed her out: "What is the reason? It would be too troublesome to fight with thousands of people."
"There is no need to think about it. In the current situation, let alone the New Year in their county, even heating may be a problem. If people are forced to a dead end, the only thing left is to rob." Wang Yufei sighed: "You know it's cold here."
The county magistrate's secretary drove Wang Yufei and three others to the county. As soon as they arrived, they saw a crowd of people standing outside the county town. Both sides were holding weapons and facing each other. It looked like the situation was very serious. At this moment, if someone accidentally misfires, then this New Year's Eve will most likely become the most horrific and bloody night in the history of this land.
After getting off the car, County Magistrate Gao trotted all the way to greet him. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Wang Yufei. After all, the current crisis could only rely on this God of Wealth. No one else could be relied on, not even him. .
The other party obviously wants to come here to distribute things. In fact, there are not many things in the county, which is just enough. Once they are really distributed, people from his own county will besieging him in a few days, so now he only has You can place your hopes on Wang Caishen.
Wang Yufei crossed his arms and looked at the formation in front of him. There were about 1,000 to 1,500 yamen soldiers on both sides, and the rest should be ordinary young adults.
It seems really hungry to be able to reach such a scale.
"It's really troublesome." Wang Yufei looked back at Mr. Hao: "Uncle Hao, do you have any solution?"
Mr. Hao shook his head: "I'm afraid the current situation requires no solution."
