Chapter 1424 - The Road
The tiger girl watched Nina rush over excitedly, and also raised a hand high, waving knowingly in response.
The acquaintance of the two dates back to the first time Hu Niu came to this Luzon Island, and it was Hu Niu's righteous action that allowed the Beishan tribe to avoid a catastrophe.
Nina was as tall as a tiger girl, with dark skin and a pair of bright big eyes, and asked with concern, "Tiger girl, are you okay?" Did you run away with the pirates just now? ”
"It's understandable that they're definitely not coming back!" Tiger Niu nodded lightly and replied in the affirmative.
"You're amazing, this one for you!" Nina glanced at Tiger Girl with admiration, and handed Tiger Girl a beautiful shell with both hands.
Hu Niu took the shell, took out a stone from her arms and said, "Nina, I also have something for you, give!" ”
"Thank you, Tiger Girl!" Nina took the beautiful little stone and immediately said as if she had found a treasure.
Sometimes the friendship of a girl is so simple, and through the exchange of ordinary gifts, a deep friendship is formed.
Tiger Niu also likes Nina very much in her heart, because in her body, she can always think of her shadow in the past, so she is willing to give her some good things.
Bucky led several tribal leaders here, holding a wreath in his hand, and stepped forward and respectfully said, "Thank you for the relief of the angels!" On behalf of the people of Kitayama and all the tribes, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude, please accept our highest blessings! ”’
Hu Niu happily accepted their blessing, and said honestly: "I only brought 30 loads of rice grain today, and I will send another 100 loads the day after tomorrow!" ”
"If we survive, we will erect a monument to the angels!" Bucky's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he saluted in a proper manner.
As more and more people gather here, the food needs increase, and so do the problems. However, as long as the tiger girl can continue to provide them with food, there will be no major problems, after all, this disaster has made many people see life and death, and there is only one thought of survival in their hearts.
Hu Niu sent the thirty loads of grain to the North Mountain, and then left here by boat and returned directly to Port Union.
With the development of the spice trade in Nanyang, more and more Ming merchants came to Nanyang to pan for gold. Luzon was the only route on the Eastern Route, and the United City naturally became a transit and supply station for Ming merchants, with dozens of merchant ships anchored here all year round.
In the evening, the sky is full of red clouds.
When Tiger Girl's fleet returned, the bay and port fell silent, and they went straight to the exclusive berth of the United Merchant Mission.
Coming down from the boat is a large pier, and up a staircase, you come up a high slope, where a new city of blue bricks stands like a guard.
Union City, a four-square-kilometer city, can be described as neither big nor small. As the land was cleared out of cotton and pepper fields, more and more proletarian farmers were happy to move here, making it a new town where agriculture and commerce were growing together.
Hu Niu returned to a residence, and just as she was sitting down in a chair, Weng Huasong came to the door. absolutely
After Weng Huasong showed his talent in Leizhou, he was also responsible for the construction of the United City, and became the manager here, responsible for all the management affairs in the United City.
Of course, during the United City period with Lin Haoran and Tiger Girl, he was more like a big housekeeper.
"Weng Huasong, you came just in time, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will send another hundred loads of grain to the Beishan tribe!" When the tiger girl saw Weng Huasong who came in in a hurry, she said directly.
Weng Huasong suddenly heard this, and immediately asked in confusion: "If you don't give one hundred and thirty loads, why do you still give so much?" ”
Hu Niu did not hide it, even when she told what happened today, she told the fact that a hundred loads of grain were given to Lin Zhengyang.
Weng Huasong's brows furrowed slightly, but he knew that there was nothing wrong with Hu Niu's move, but he said worriedly: "Miss Lin, our current granary is less than a thousand quintals!" ”
"Didn't Shen Jun send someone back to Guangdong to purchase rice and grain? Let him stop buying 3,000 quintals, just buy 10,000 quintals!" The tiger girl is not afraid to spend money, even if it is ordered.
When Weng Caisong heard this, he shook his head seriously and said, "This method is not appropriate!" ”
"Why not?" Hu Niu knew that Weng Huasong had thought things through, so she asked suspiciously.
Weng Cai sighed and explained seriously: "Now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and the new summer grain and rice will not be available until next month!" If we purchase a large amount of rice grain, it will not only give some unscrupulous rice merchants an opportunity, but also cause panic to the people of Guangdong! ”
"Does it really cause panic?" Hu Niu's brows furrowed slightly, and she also looked at this question seriously.
Weng Huasong nodded honestly, and said seriously: "This is a not optimistic guess of mine!" However, our joint business group has always made a big move, and I am afraid that we will be targeted by those unscrupulous rice merchants as early as possible, and we are not good at the idea of closing positions often, so it is really not suitable to purchase rice and grain on a large scale in a row. After a pause, he suggested in a slow tone, "Isn't this wildfire about to be extinguished?" As long as we endure it a little longer, and transfer two or three thousand quintals from Guangdong, we should be able to support the new rice to be listed in May! This move, firstly, will not cause chaos in the rice market in Guangdong, and secondly, it can also help the people protect the market of new rice! ”
"Okay!" Hu Niu thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Weng Huasong's plan.
She has experienced poor days, and she always feels that she has food in her hands, so she can not panic in her heart. But she also understands now that they continue to buy rice in Guangdong, which will indeed give a group of rice merchants an opportunity to raise prices.
Although she wants to continue to help the residents here, she also does not want the people of Guangdong to eat high-priced rice, so it is better to endure it and wait until the new rice is on the market in May, so that she can buy low-priced rice and let the people of Guangdong benefit from it.
It is precisely because of this that she did not forcibly increase the amount of purchases, but chose a steady and steady way, not to give those unscrupulous rice merchants a chance, and to help protect the price of rice when the new rice was launched in May, so as to prevent Siamese rice from causing too much impact on the Guangdong rice market.
The next day, early in the morning.
From the south gate of the United City, there is a mountain road that leads towards the jungle, but few people know where this road ends, as the United Merchant Group never allows outsiders to set foot on this path.
The tiger girl raised her whip, rode a tall jujube red horse, and took Ali and the others in the direction of the mountain.
