Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a moment of tenderness, Mei Changlin finally walked out of the house.

    Hearing the children's play behind him and his wife's gentle words, Mei Changlin felt bitter in his heart.

    The country is in danger. If he only thinks about being wise and protecting himself, how can he be worthy of the books of sages that he has read for many years.

    "My lord, the carriage is ready!"

    Sui whispered.

    "No need, let's just walk today!"

    Mei Changlin suddenly smiled and said.

    "this"

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter even if it¡¯s slower!¡±

    After Mei Changlin finished speaking, he strode forward directly.

    The entourage behind him hurriedly followed, and several guards widened their eyes. The Han army began to move south.

    Who knows if there will be any assassins in this crowd. If Mei Changlin is unlucky, they will also die.

    Fortunately, it seems that they think too much about everything.

    The streets of Panyu City are still crowded with people, but it is rare to see the smiling faces of the people.

    Most of the people were in a hurry, with numb expressions on their faces.

    Even the few vendors on the roadside have sad faces now.

    "Look, the third son of the Wang family is getting rich!"

    At this moment, a long motorcade drove in from the city gate.

    The wheels of the carriage rolled against the bluestone, making a crisp sound.

    Occasionally, a few copper coins would be scattered from the carriage, attracting countless children to follow and pick up those yellow copper coins.

    "He dropped so many copper coins, why didn't he pick them up?"

    Mei Changlin asked curiously.

    "Are you afraid that this gentleman is not a local?"

    A vendor onlookers asked in a low voice.

    "I am indeed not from here. I have something to do in Panyu these two days."

    Mei Changlin did not refute, but just followed his words.

    "It's no wonder. In recent times, there are always people in this city of Yu who are lucky enough to find copper coins."

    "A while ago, there were four or five lucky ones every day, but recently there may be too many people digging, and there are only one or two lucky ones every day."

    While the passerby was talking, his eyes were full of envy.

    "Then why don't you go, little brother?"

    Mei Changlin asked curiously.

    "Go, why don't you go? It's just that we can't open the pot in this house. We can't let the whole family go hungry, right? I'll go when I sell these things! These are all good quality.  Would you like some, sir?¡±

    As the man spoke, he pointed to the lacquerware placed next to him.

    "This thing is indeed good. Did you make these yourself?"

    Looking at the exquisite lacquerware, Mei Changlin asked curiously.

    "It's a bit embarrassing to say it. This is a craft passed down from our ancestors, but no one wants this thing now, alas"

    After the man finished speaking, his face was full of loneliness.

    "Why doesn't anyone want it anymore? Aren't these things always expensive in the past?"

    "Sir, what you don't know is that these things were indeed very expensive in the past, but before that, the price of paints rose to the sky, which forced all the workshops to collapse. Although the prices later fell,  However, the whole country has begun to hunt for treasures again. Look at these treasure maps. If you dig out just one of them, it will be worth thousands or tens of thousands of guan. Who has the energy to live for a whole year with only ten guan of money!"

    After listening to these words, Mei Changlin felt cold sweat break out on his back.

    Is this still the Panyu city that I know?  Is this still the South Vietnam that I know?

    When did the world¡¯s atmosphere become like this?

    I still remember the last time I went shopping with my children. The streets were full of exquisite lacquerware.

    There is an endless stream of merchants in any store, and almost everyone is thinking about selling these things overseas.

    As long as the people are willing to contribute, they can always get a good income in the end.

    Although the food harvest failure is indeed a problem, at least the people can subsidize their families by relying on other income.

    How long has it been since then? Why has everything turned out like this?

    ¡°So are there still lacquerware workshops in this city?¡±

      Mei Changlin asked tentatively.

    "Where are there any other workshops? All the workshops that originally made lacquerware have closed down. The nobles are all busy hoarding food. How can they still think about doing these small businesses"

    Although the vendor's words were just a family comment, they soon resonated with the crowd nearby.

    Looking at those indifferent passers-by, Mei Changlin felt like he was holding a breath in his chest.

    "Let's go to the Yamen!"

    Mei Changlin took a deep breath.

    It seems that what the man in black said at the beginning was right. If strong medicine was not used, the South Vietnam country would have been destroyed.

    "General manager, Mei Changlin has started to take action!"

    Looking at Panyu City in the distance from the lonely mountain outside the city, there is a different kind of beauty.

    Looking at the swaying lights of thousands of houses in the distance, Zhao Wengu always felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

    ¡°Now that he¡¯s started to take action, let¡¯s let the fire burn even bigger!¡±

    Zhao Wengu said lightly.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Open the door! Open the door!"

    Outside Panyu City, Lujiazhuang.

    Outside the Lu family¡¯s mansion, a team of cavalry suddenly appeared.

    "Where are you officers and soldiers from? Do you know who my master is?"

    Looking at the soldiers standing guard outside, the Lu family's door dared to open.

    To avoid sending people to notify Lu Qingyuan in a hurry, he could only try to scare away these soldiers through a gate.

    "Stop talking nonsense, I have received orders from Master Tingwei and now I want to invite your master to come to Tingwei's mansion to speak!"

    "Are you an official of Tingwei Mansion?"

    After hearing the news, Menzi became even more frightened.

    He took the pole that supported the door from inside, and after completely blocking the two doors, he hurriedly went back to report.

    "Official servants of Tingwei Mansion? What are they doing here in the middle of the night?"

    When he heard the news, Lu Qingyuan was stunned.

    Although the person he was talking about did not have a high official position, the position of Chief of the Prime Minister's Office was enough to scare away most people.

    ¡°After all, he is Lu Jia¡¯s absolute confidant, and he handles all the paperwork in the Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion.

    Even if an ordinary general saw it, he would have to nod and bow to say hello first.

    "Otherwise, he doesn't even have to mess with your paperwork. He only needs to keep your paperwork for half a month, which is enough to make you miserable"

    "Sir, these people are coming in a menacing manner. It seems that they are coming with bad intentions. How about you avoid them first?"

    Listening to the noisy sounds outside, even Mrs. Lu on the side felt a little uneasy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
