Zhong Yi did what he said and immediately asked Zhao Hanxing to take action.
As Zhong Yi expected, there are quite a few wealthy locals or squires in Langxi County who want to move to the rear but are unable to guarantee their safety.
The Zhang family, who is engaged in the tea business, is one of them.
Tea is the pillar industry of Langxi County, and every household grows tea.
Therefore, in Langxi, there are many tea merchants who sell tea, and the Zhang family is one of them.
The Zhang family can only be regarded as middle-class among the tea merchants in Langxi. Because of this, when the Japs came to Langxi, the old man of the Zhang family did not rush to rebel, but stayed with luck, thinking that the Japanese might not be the same. They were so fierce that they captured Langxi, but they still needed to eat, sleep, and drink tea.
Maybe the Zhang family can take the opportunity to expand their tea business.
However, the cruel reality taught the Zhang family a painful lesson.
After the Japanese broke through the city, they burned, killed, and looted the city wantonly, and the Zhang family almost suffered disaster.
Fortunately, the national army quickly fought back to Langxi, and the Zhang family was lucky enough to save the tea shop.
But in the past few days, there have been rumors that the Japanese are going to fight back to Langxi County again.
Hearing the news, Master Zhang became anxious and hurried home to find Mrs. Zhang.
"Grandpa, it's not good!" Zhang Shiliang said, "I heard someone say on the street just now that the Japanese will fight back to Langxi County soon. Let's run and go to Wuhan."
"Going to Wuhan?" Mrs. Zhang said with a wry smile, "It's easy to say, but how to get there? There are tens of thousands of kilograms of tea in the shop. It's easy for us, grandparents, to pack a few changes of clothes and leave, but what about the tea?"
Master Zhang asked: "Grandpa, what time has it been? Do you still care about those tea leaves?"
"How can you ignore it?" Old Mrs. Zhang said, "The tea leaves accumulated in the warehouse are all the property of our old Zhang family. If these tea leaves are lost, our old Zhang family will be finished. Even if our grandfather and grandson arrive in Wuhan, they will eat What, what are you wearing? Are you going to beg on the streets like refugees?"
Zhang Shiliang fell silent immediately.
At this moment, a gong sound suddenly sounded outside.
By this time, it was already dark, and the street outside was silent, so the sound of the gong was so sudden that even the Zhang family¡¯s ancestors and grandchildren couldn¡¯t help but hear it.
Immediately afterwards, a loud voice sounded.
"Fellow folks of Langxi, good news, good news!"
"We are the 367th Regiment of the Central Army. In a few days, our regiment will leave for Wuhan for training. If you have any folks who want to go to Wuhan, you can come with our 367th Regiment!"
"Our 367th Regiment will provide free armed escorts!"
¡°If you want to go, go to the shelter to register as soon as possible!¡±
Old Mrs. Zhang was moved after hearing this, and asked Zhang Shiliang: "Shiliang, is this 367th Regiment the 367th Regiment that defended Nanjing?"
"Grandpa, it's the 367th Regiment guarding Nanjing." Zhang Shiliang nodded, "We have several reception stations in Langxi, which housed many defeated troops who retreated from Nanjing. Soldiers from other troops continued to commit petty crimes, and there were even some It¡¯s obvious that they were robbed, but the soldiers of the 367th Regiment never do evil and are very disciplined.¡±
"So, the safety of following the 367th Group is really guaranteed." Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "I just don't know if they are willing to provide protection for our tea?"
"I'm afraid this won't work." Zhang Shiliang frowned and said, "We are marching and we need to ensure speed. It will be fine if we follow you, but with so many goods following us, it will definitely slow down the marching speed."
Mrs. Zhang used her crutches and said, "If it's okay, you'll know if you can go and ask."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhang turned around and walked out. His footsteps were fast. Zhang Shiliang hurriedly followed and said urgently: "Grandpa, walk slower, slower, don't fall!"
¡¡
At the same time, at the shelter in the east of the city.
The first visitor has arrived.
This visitor¡¯s surname is Yan and Wufu, and he is a cloth merchant.
Boss Yan was also having a bad time. He bought a large amount of Western printed fabrics from Shanghai and planned to sell them to Yishan County. As a result, as soon as he reached Langxi, he ran into the Japanese Pocheng.
Fortunately, the national army quickly regained Langxi County, and the Japanese did not have time to transport this batch of cloth away.
However, the porter hired by Boss Yan ran away with all his money, and when he was planning to collect the cloth from the garrison, he spent a fortune. Boss Yan originally wanted to sell some of the cloth to raise some funds to save the emergency, but The result was disappointing. Even if it was sold at cost price, no one bought it.As I said before, the liquidity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai has dried up, and the economic order has been completely destroyed. Therefore, Boss Yan can¡¯t sell a piece of cloth even at a loss, let alone the cost price!
Yan Wufu didn¡¯t talk nonsense and asked directly: ¡°Captain Zhong, have you ever been to Yixian County?¡±
"Let's go." Zhong Yi said, "If we want to enter Jiangxi via Jingdezhen, we must pass through Yixian County."
Yan Wufu's eyes lit up and he said, "Well, can you take me and my batch of cloth with you?"
"No problem." Zhong Yi said cheerfully, "It is the duty of our military to protect the lives and property of the people. This is what we should do. Of course there is no problem with this."
"But." Yan Wufu hesitated, "I may have a little too much cloth."
"This is easy to do." Zhong Yi said, "Just hire porters. There are so many refugees in Langxi now, and the prices are very low. You don't even need to spend money, just give them food, and you can hire a lot of porters."
"But, but" Yan Wufu said in embarrassment, "I no longer have money to hire a porter."
"That's right, then this matter is a bit difficult to handle." Zhong Yi said, "Boss Yan, you also know that our army has baggage. The soldiers are already very tired just carrying the baggage, and they can no longer carry additional load."
"Captain Zhong, please help me!" Yan Wufu, who had no choice but to kneel down in front of Zhong Yi, said, "If you don't want to help me, then I will really have no choice but to die!"
"Boss Yan, get up quickly, what are you doing?" Zhong Yi quickly picked up Yan Wufu.
Yan Wufu saw that Zhong Yi was kind-hearted, so he simply lay on the ground and refused to get up, and said: "Captain Zhong, if you don't want to help me, I will have no choice but to kneel here and die. There is no way to survive anyway."
This profiteer! Zhong Yi felt contempt in his heart, but said: "Boss Yan, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Captain Zhong, please show mercy and save me." Yan Wufu burst into tears, "Help me think of a way."
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Boss Yan, there is a way, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
"What can we do?" Yan Wufu immediately pricked up his ears.
"That's right." Zhong Yi said, "Our group bought this batch of printed fabrics from you at one-tenth of the price"
"One-tenth?" Yan Wufu jumped up immediately after hearing the words, "Why don't you go and grab it?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
