Zhao Hao, who had something on his mind, was destined to spend another sleepless night, and he thought a lot about it that night. The current situation is a bit like when the shipyard went bankrupt in my previous life, when the factory owed a lot of debts due to the launch of the new ship, and the creditors who felt that there was no hope of collecting the debts had sued the company and applied for bankruptcy proceedings in line with the principle of being able to get it back. And what Zhao Hao has to do at this time is just to cooperate with the court to seize the remaining assets, wait for the verdict, and he can also get a part of the arrears of wages, and he doesn't have to be involved in the debt whirlpool at all.

But Zhao Yu knew that once he entered the procedure, his group of workers would be miserable, compared with the huge debts owed to banks and investment companies, their wages were a drop in the bucket, and the money they could get after liquidation and distribution was only slightly better than nothing. Seeing that a group of brothers who had worked hard with him for two years could not get back their hard-earned money, he made a bold decision with a kind heart, and sold everything that could be sold on the construction site before the factory was seized, and first repaid the arrears of wages, but he did not take a penny from it.

In this way, Zhao Yu got into trouble. The creditors immediately sued him in court for his 'malicious transfer of assets', but fortunately, the remaining boat was enough to repay the money, and the property sold was used to repay wages first, so that he was spared from prison, but because of this incident, he was placed under compulsory residential surveillance, and he was not allowed to leave the restricted area until the liquidation was completed. And he had to stay on the ship because of the ship's unsuccessful auction several times, dragging himself into a long stay years.

Zhao Hao has also reflected on this matter, whether it is right or wrong to do so. If he had left empty-handed at that time, he felt that he could get a good job with his qualifications, and he might have already lived a life with a house, a car and a family, and would not have become a 'security guard' who made a living by making ship models and passed the time on the Internet. At first, the workers who benefited from him would come to chat with him and express their gratitude, but gradually no one came, except for the police officers at the police station who sometimes stopped by to see if he was still there.

In helplessness, loneliness and loss, Zhao Hao also felt regretful, hating how he had become an 'indiscriminate good person', but he felt that his original choice was not wrong, at least worthy of his conscience, and he would not feel guilty for a lifetime because of his conscience debt. And after being reborn, he felt that he had fallen into this strange circle again, and he became indecisive and hesitant about whether to stay or go.

If you want to leave, take dozens of cronies, or even hundreds of people, with the seized gold and silver, no matter where you go, it will be enough for you to live happily for a while. But now there are thousands of people in his house, including many old and weak women and children, once he leaves, birds and beasts will be scattered immediately, some people may live better than at the moment, but more people will live a turbulent life again, which makes him feel uneasy again.

If all the people in the palace were taken away, no one would dare to take them in in the form of the Mongols now dominating the world. Aside from surrendering, occupying the mountain as king or flowing as a haikou is the only option Zhao Hao can think of now. But the high risk of this profession is self-evident, no force will allow them to exist for a long time, it is only a matter of time before they are exterminated, and it is still difficult for them to live.

And where can you go even if you have to go? Zhao Yu also has no goal at the moment. Looking at the former Great Song Dynasty, Jiangbei fell into Jin during the Jingkang period, so far it has been more than 100 years, although the Jin State has perished, but it has also been occupied by the Mongols for decades, and the people there have long been ignorant of the Song Dynasty, and the roots have no place for themselves. Jiangnan was also encroached upon by the Mongols for many years, and not only did the capital fall of Lin'an, but even the remaining Liangguang, Sichuan and Fujian were also in danger, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Throughout history, Guanzhong and Sichuan, the two major places of dragon prosperity. Don't even think about Guanzhong now, it has become the nest of the Mongols, operating for a hundred years. Although Sichuan has not yet fallen in name, there is only one place left, Hezhou, which has been besieged by the Yuan army for many years and guarded by Zhang Yu. Even if the Yuan army will be transferred north to aid Sichuan in the future and recapture Xichuan, it will no longer be the original country of abundance. Since the first time the Mongolian army entered Shu, the defense line of Shukou has been completely destroyed, but now it has become window paper, and the Mongolian army has broken with the stabbing and breaking, and Sichuan has become a place where the Mongolian army can come and go when it wants.

The Yuan army captured Chengdu twice, carried out barbaric massacres and looting, which was originally an important wealth area of the Southern Song Dynasty, but since it was destroyed by the Mongol army, the money can no longer be collected, and it has to be upside down every year. This is not counting, due to the massacre and flight of a large number of people during the war, Zhao Yu remembered that there was an article in his previous life that the population of Sichuan during the Song-Mongol War dropped sharply from more than 13 million to less than 800,000. It has become a dead place with no one for thousands of miles, which makes it lose its value as a base for revival......

"Where is my home?" Zhao Hao sighed, he had no sleep all night thinking about it without results, thinking about the world but not having his own place to stand, which made him even more irritable and a little frustrated, but it also aroused his temper, and he didn't believe that he would follow in the footsteps of history and die in the vast sea, he wanted to change his fate.

"Your Highness, the head of the village is back!" Wang De suddenly rushed in and shouted......

"He's back, where?" Zhao Yu was awakened from his contemplation and jumped out of his chair in surprise and asked.

"Your Highness, the head of the village is waiting in the side hall!" Wang De replied.

"Okay, summon me right away!" Zhao Yu said that he hurriedly walked out......

The grain and grass in the house were exhausted yesterday, and the breakfast was all reluctantly for everyone to drink a porridge, and they didn't know where to find it for lunch, so Zhao Yu was anxious to know whether Zhuang Shilin's purchase of grain was successful this time, and if he returned empty-handed, he could only break into the palace to beg the Queen Mother, or find Liu Huang to borrow grain.

"See Your Highness!"

"No courtesy, the owner of the village has worked this trip, just come back safely, sit down and talk." Zhao Yu raised his hand and said, he saw that Zhuang Shilin was tired, looking like a dusty man, and he seemed to have the salty smell of the sea, but he was neatly dressed, and he didn't look depressed.

"It's late for the subordinates to return, so His Highness is worried." Zhuang Shilin did not sit down, but saluted again. His heart is also warm at the moment, he is just a businessman who goes to sea with a huge amount of money to buy grain, which is already the great trust of the prince in himself, and now he sees that he does not ask whether he can buy grain and grass, but only asks for peace, and his true meaning cannot help but move him.

"It's not late, it's not late, today is the ten-day period, I'm still worried about whether you have an accident and ordered someone to find out the news!" Zhao Hao waved his little hand and smiled, and at the same time ordered the little yellow door to serve tea.

"Yes, there is no news about your departure, Your Highness is unable to sleep and eat, lest you encounter danger on the way, and in the morning he ordered someone to go to the dock to ask if the ships have seen you. Now that you're back, it's just right that Your Highness has appointed you as the head of the Fuzhong General Bureau, and you were busy with me when you weren't there a while ago, so now I can also relax and relax. Wang De is also a person who can observe words and feelings, and when he saw Zhuang Shilin's expression, he understood what was going on, and of course he had to further convey all the concerns of the prince.

"Let Your Highness worry, your subordinates are really damned, it's just that there are many inconveniences at sea, and the news is difficult to understand, and I ask Your Highness to atone for your sins." Zhuang Shilin was even more moved, his eyes were red, he knew that although the Great Song Dynasty did not suppress business, but the status of businessmen was low, even if you were a wealthy and rich party, you had to be half a cut short in front of the government and scholars. In the past, he just wanted to take refuge in the palace to get some convenience, but His Royal Highness handed over the money and food affairs of the palace to himself, without a trace of discrimination, which already gave him the heart to die.

"Okay, you, the head of the General Bureau, will be busy when you come back, so let's talk about the results of this trip first. If you return empty, the king will be cried and begged by the queen mother. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Zhao Yu knew that it couldn't be too much, so he interrupted the topic at the right time and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, my subordinates are fortunate to have fulfilled their mission, and this trip is a full return!" Zhuang Shilin raised his hand and wiped his eyes and said, "My subordinates were ordered to go to Guangzhou to buy grain this time, and a total of 10,000 stones of grain were purchased, in addition to a number of sundries such as various medicinal materials and daily oil and salt, in addition to two large ships, a total of more than 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"Oh, the price of rice in Guangzhou is so cheap?!" Zhao Hao asked in surprise, this is much more than the original pre-order, but the budget has been reduced a lot.

"Your Highness, everything we purchase in our house is settled in gold and silver, and it is not cheap to calculate carefully, one tael of gold in Guangzhou is worth fifty yuan, and the silver has also risen to four or five yuan a tael." Zhuang Shilin said.

"Well, even so, it's worth it to be able to purchase so many things for 10,000 taels of silver, and the owner of the village has made a lot of contributions!" Zhao Yu knew that there were troubled times, and gold only said that now that there are frequent wars, gold and silver have naturally become hard currency, and appreciation is inevitable, but the price of food will also skyrocket, and the major items they purchase are grain and medicinal materials, and it is not expensive to buy so many things, and there is even a suspicion of picking up cheap.

"Your Highness, your subordinates don't dare to take credit, this time you can gain a lot, thanks to Your Highness's foresight, and there are some twists and turns, your subordinates are about to tell Your Highness, and you have to prepare early." Zhuang Shilin got up and thanked His Royal Highness for his praise, and said with a solemn face......
