The unconscious Mrs. Huo was brought in.
Mr. Huo, his son, Mr. He and others gathered around the doctor and entered.
Not long after, all three people came out.
Seeing Shen Xin and a young man arriving together, Huo Pingzhang held a salute on the cart, Master He bent his ancient body, and Huo Xiyou bowed and paid homage:
"Thank you Mr. Shen for the rescue!"
Endless gratitude!
Shen Xin brought Mrs. Huo back, not only saving her life, but also saving the reputation of the family!
The young lady lost her life and her family was invaded, but the mistress was rescued and the disaster was averted.
Today, for Huo, it can be said that there is joy in the midst of sorrow and a new lease of life!
All the family heads also spoke one after another: "Mr. Shen is so righteous!"
Everyone either admired or sighed.
In their opinion, Shen Xin must have spent a lot of money to bring Mrs. Huo back.
Although Shen Xin was no longer the same as before, but how could he say something? ...A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
The head of the Wu family sighed, but his face returned to sadness: "Today, Mr. Shen has to spend a lot of money to resolve the crisis, but since the thief has already taken action, I'm afraid he won't let it go."
When everyone heard this, they were convinced:
"What Brother Wu said makes sense, if you use money and food to kill a thief, today you will have ten thousand shi, and tomorrow you will have another 10,000 shi. If the money and food are not exhausted, and the thief's demands are endless, when will it be over?"
"It's getting harder and harder every day, and we don't know when it will be our turn..."
"General Huo is right. We want to survive, but living...isn't that easy?!"
Everyone sighed.
Zhou Che looked at Shen Xin.
The latter understood what he meant and started talking: "This is why I came today."
Swish——
Everyone's eyes were attracted to him: "What does Mr. Shen mean?!"
"I want..." Shen Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "Join hands with you all to seize the brine mines in Hedong in advance."
"Hedong has fallen to this, and we have fallen to this! In the final analysis, it is because there is no property in the fields and the people have no way to make a living, so Hedong is in chaos!"
"Now, if we use salt instead of land, why worry about not being able to win over the people and preserve the clan?!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the guests were excited!
Everyone here is from a wealthy family. Who doesn’t know the benefits of salt?
If it can really form an industry, it will definitely be able to support Hedong!
Huo Pingzhang was an old man, his brows darkened slightly, and he immediately raised his hand.
The servants in the courtyard understood and immediately expelled everyone except the heads of the families from the courtyard.
"I also know about salt refining in brine mines. The problem is that the refining method is monopolized by the imperial court!" Someone immediately pointed out the difficulty.
Shen Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Salt refining consumes a lot of money and requires a lot of manpower. How can it be possible to monopolize such a daily product that is in great demand for a long time?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense!"
Everyone looked at Shen Xin with even more radiance in their eyes.
Could it be that Shen Xin has already figured out the method of refining salt?
"To take over the Hedong salt mine and feed the people of Hedong, the funds required are huge." The head of the Wu family sighed again: "If we worked together in the past, we could barely give it a try, but now..."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Che, who had been silent, said, "We will provide enough funds."
The head of the Wu family looked at him and frowned: "You think this is Mr. Shen's new hero? Little brother, the advance required for this is beyond your imagination."
"What the head of the Wu family said is true. How can you just assert the word 'advance capital'?"
Someone shook his head in agreement, almost laughing if the occasion didn't allow it.
Firstly, the money is huge and Shen Xin can't afford it right now; secondly, advance payment is the most dangerous in all businesses, and a follower dares to make arbitrary decisions. Where have you placed the position of master?
boom!
What answered them was the cloth bags thrown on the ground one by one.
As the bag was torn open, the grain attached to the outside fell out, and the gold bars and stacks of money bills hidden in it appeared in front of them.
"hiss--!"
The eyes in the field immediately stopped moving.
Even people with clean backgrounds such as Huo Pingzhang, Huo Zeyou and his son were shocked by this huge amount of money.
After a while, they shifted their gaze to Zhou Che.
He looked at Shen Xin again.
Shen Xin did not express his dissatisfaction, but instead smiled and said: "Everyone, can these funds help us to revive the salt industry and tide over the difficulties?"
"enough!"
"enough!"
"If we have this money, why should we worry about the survival of our clan!?"
All the family heads nodded repeatedly, unable to suppress their excitement.
"Don't be too happy too early, I have one more question!" Zhao Chuang suddenly raised his hand.
"Brother Zhao said it bluntly," Shen Xin said.
"With the money, we can take over the salt mines and feed the population." Zhao Chuang glanced at everyone: "But have you ever thought about how we can keep these things?"
"We have money and food."
"Population, we've had that too."
"Could it be that the ones who plunder us the most are so-called natural disasters?"
"Everyone, this is a great fruit, how can Li Guo not pick it?!"
Zhao Chuang's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly dousing everyone's excitement.
Their faces fell down, extremely frustrated.
Yes, the inherent money is available, the inherent industry can be developed... In the end, Li Guo still has to take advantage!
Either hand it over honestly and be busy for nothing.
Either hold on to it, or Li Guo will let you die!
"laugh--"
Zhou Che couldn't bear it and laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Who are you?"
"Mr. Shen, you, a fellow traveler, seem to have some opinions on us?"
Everyone was angry and doubtful, and spoke with anger.
"At the next corner."
After Zhou Che announced his home, everyone looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Zhou Jiao?
Never heard of it!
The head of the Wu family said coldly: "Are you laughing at us just now?"
"Aren't you guys ridiculous?"
Zhou Che shook his head, and the smile on half of his face exposed under the mask became stronger, but his tone suddenly changed:
"You are from a large family in Hedong, but you cannot stabilize your country."
“I have vast fields and rich stores of money and food, but others have taken them away.”
"In the past, we were dominant in our homeland, bullying the superiors and intimidating the inferiors; now we are struggling to survive, even if we have broken arms, it is difficult to survive."
"Now there is a salt road, and Mr. Shen is willing to help with money to open up a new way of life."
"But I'm still afraid and afraid to do it! What's not funny about it?"
After hearing this, the family heads became even more angry!
Everyone opened their eyes angrily, wishing to eat Zhou Che alive.
Even more ashamed!
You are riding on a horse - why are you holding on to your scars and trying to hide yourself to death? !
Sitting on the cart, Huo Pingzhang's eyes became more and more profound.
Huo Zeyou, standing beside him, deeply agreed with Zhou Che's words!
Zhou Che glanced at him and spoke more harshly:
"What was originally there and was taken away by others can still be attributed to natural disasters."
"Now that we have reached the end and there is no way to survive, there is a road ahead!"
"You don't even have the courage to try?"
"Is it because the sword in my hand is weak, or is it because I lack courage in my heart?!"
Everyone's face turned redder.
It's like a swollen rubber ball, but I don't know where the air is coming from.
The head of the Wu family looked pale: "It's just a lack of courage, so what? It's just that Li Guo's sword is sharp, who can resist it?"
Zhou Che smiled and held the hilt of his sword: "In that case, I will embolden you all!"
Zhao Chuang let out a laugh and couldn't help laughing: "Little brother, your tone is quite..."
Wow——
Before he could finish his words, the cart placed beside the courtyard was suddenly opened, and all the shielding objects piled on it were removed.
Boom!
Then, the car leaned forward, and hundreds of heads poured down, rolling all over the courtyard!
"What!"
Even Zhao Chuang, who had killed the enemy before, was shocked and panicked.
As for the other clan leaders, they were even more frightened and screamed.
Huo Pingzhang tightened his grip and almost stood up from the cart: "Is this!?"
"Zhang Biao bullied the generals and robbed the good."
"I will go to the door and behead the thieves in my headquarters."
"There are five hundred and twenty-four heads in total, not a few!"
Zhou Che smiled, raised his foot and kicked someone in the head: "Mr. Huo, recognize it, is this your enemy?"
boom!
Huo Zeyou reached out and held Zhang Biao's head in his hand.
Although Zhang Biao died, there was still a lot of pain on his face.
"I first cut off his limbs, let him bleed out, and finally chopped him off with one knife." Zhou Che suddenly explained: "Maybe the facial features have changed too much, can you still recognize him?"
"Recognize it!"
Huo Zeyou gritted his teeth and responded.
How could he not recognize the enemy who killed his sister? !
He turned around and placed his head in front of his sister's soul.
He turned around again, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Che:
"My little sister was killed, my mother was taken away, and my family was humiliated."
"If you have a great hatred but cannot avenge it, Huo Xiyou is a man in vain."
"Now that I have received the high righteousness of the public, I can no longer harbor this hatred. I am willing to support each other with my broken body. As long as I have my destiny for the rest of my life, I will never respond!"
