Among the scholars, some indeed have little experience and knowledge, but there are also smart, capable and determined people among them. They have decided to go north to Liaodong County to have a look.
But Mr. Lu's words put them on a pedestal and put them in a dilemma.
His words were a layer of restraint for the scholars in the Southland, making them very uncomfortable.
But the words of Shopkeeper Wu of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce loosened this shackles and gave them the power to choose again.
Suddenly, countless knowledgeable people had a favorable impression of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the words of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce spread quickly after being spread by thoughtful people.
Gu Huaisheng naturally heard about it, so when he went to the appointment, he arrived early to show his sincerity.
At that time, in the entire hall, Ji and his son were talking to a young man.
After Gu Huaisheng came in, Ji Wuyin introduced both parties.
"Manager Liu, this is Gu Huaisheng, the young master of the Gu family."
"Young Master Gu, this is Liu Erxi, one of the managers of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. He is responsible for the sales of threshing machines."
"Nice to meet you."
"I have admired you for a long time."
After both parties were seated, Ji Wuyin spoke again, "Young Master Gu, there is still an official from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce who has not arrived yet. Let's have a cup of tea first and wait for him?"
"Okay."
Then, as a few people were chatting, they inevitably brought up the turbulent public opinion in the Southland.
Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's move of attacking the shield with a spear is very powerful."
Frankly speaking, Mr. Lu's speech at the Nandi Restaurant really caught the readers' attention.
Mr. Lu took advantage of the scholars' deep love for Nandi and kidnapped them so that they could not leave Nandi at this time.
The people in Liaodong County also took advantage of the scholars' deep love for Nandi and told them that they left because they were sensible. Firstly, they were determined not to add burden to Nandi. Secondly, they went to learn skills and come back to benefit the village.
This reason really makes Mr. Lu, Xie Zhan and the people in the government miserable.
The key point is that these scholars not only took the initiative to leave the Southland themselves, but also invited their friends to go with them. This is outrageous.
I wonder if Mr. Lu, who is ill, will be so angry that he vomits blood when he learns about this situation.
Regarding his compliment, Liu Er smiled and said nothing. It was all trivial. Back then, Mrs. Qin Liu turned a village into a bachelor's village with just a few words.
At this time, Xue Xu was late, "Sorry, I'm late."
Gu Huaisheng stood up and said, "Mr. Xue, I didn't expect you to come back to Nandi."
Xue Xu laughed, "Have I not always been there? Earlier, Chen Jiaye took the family elite to the Pilgrim Street at the foot of Puxian Temple to surround me."
Gu Huaisheng smiled bitterly and begged for mercy, "Mr. .”
Xue Xu sat down and he sat down in the empty seat they left.
Gu Huaisheng: "So Mr. Xue went to the North to seek development in the past few years?"
Xue Xu did not deny it, "The trees will die if they are moved, and the people will live if they are moved. People have to live, right?"
Gu Huaisheng felt sad, "Mr. Xue's words make sense."
Then the two parties discussed the sale of a threshing machine.
Liu Erxi boldly suggested, "All the threshing machines we brought to the south have been sold out. Otherwise, Young Master Gu, can you arrange for someone to go north with us? Come to our Liaodong County to see the goods in person, and we will give you the cost." What’s the price?”
First, they will be lured to Liaodong County, and the rest will be handed over to Mrs. Qin Liu.
Gu Huaisheng was silent.
At this time, Ji Wuyin on the side said to him, "My nephew, you can think about it. Our boss will also go north this time. You can arrange for someone to accompany him. It just so happens that they can have some company."
Gu Huaisheng was stunned. Young Master Ji also wants to go north? Then he thought thoughtfully and said, "Okay, then I'll let my cousin go, and I'll ask Young Master Ji to look after him on the way."
"It's easy to talk about."
Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Outside Nandi City Gate
Countless refugees, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, sit or lie in groups, without exception, their eyes are dull. The crowd occasionally included the sounds of children crying and the uncomfortable moans of patients.
Yue Shu carried a bucket of water in one hand and walked along the muddy road to their family's temporary residence. The water in the bucket is slightly turbid, not as clear as the well water in the past, but much better than the current river water.
He walked along, ignoring the countless longing looks attracted by the bucket of water.
The refugees looked at his tall figure and silently withdrew their gaze.
Yue Shu came to the south of a slope not far away. Here he built a simple shed using wood, clothes picked up and washed slightly with starch, and leaves. The ground was first paved with a layer of stones. Two more wooden boards picked up from the flood were laid out, which was barely enough for people to live in.
This is the temporary residence for their family of twelve, and they have been living here for more than half a month. The people around their home are all people from the same village.
Their Yue family, including their entire Yue family village, was flooded.
Their in-law family was the first group to abandon their homes and leave the village, so the casualties were relatively light and they also brought some survival supplies with them. And of those who left late, many died in the floods.
"Has the water been brought back? Let me burn it." Yue Shu's wife Zhou said.
Yue Shu took the bucket and poured a little into the pot. The pot was almost full.
Mrs. Zhou shouted inside, "Ajie, wait a moment, there will be hot water to drink soon."
After they left the village, their stomachs hurt from time to time. People's lives in rural areas are cheap and no one takes them seriously. Later, the stomach upset became more and more frequent, but now they couldn't see a doctor and could only endure it.
But a few days ago, when Yue Shu took his son Yue Jie to fetch water, they met a young man.
The young man glanced at the nine-year-old Yue Jie and said that he had insect spots on his face and there must be insects in his stomach. He also took out one or two pagoda-shaped white sugar from his arms and handed them to them.
Yue Shu was hesitant, so he broke off a little bit and tried it. After about a quarter of an hour, he found that there was no problem before he dared to give it to his child.
The next day, when he looked at the toys the child pulled out, he realized that what the boy said was true.
He remembered that when the young man left, he glanced at the water he was carrying and said casually that there were bugs in the raw water that they could not see with the naked eye, and asked them to boil the water as much as possible in the future and not drink raw water again. .
He quickly told his family about this.
Recently, they have heated the water and drank it. Although it is a bit troublesome, they really don't have stomach upset anymore.
