At the same time, Xia Jinhong of the Xia family was floating on the Grand Canal in a boat, and their destination was Jining Prefecture, another customs port in the Shandong Canal section.

Looking at the letter that Jingjiazhuang had just delivered, Xia Jinhong was dumbfounded: "Bai Er was kicked out of the door by He Mansion? The third grandmother and Zhenwei no longer care about Bai Er? Bai Er has been hunted down by several other families? Is he looking for death? Silly girl! In just the past few days, has he offended all the things that should be offended and what should not be offended? ”

Due to the time difference, after Xia Jinhong left, the two sides did not start fighting. Unexpectedly, the express letter sent by the shopkeeper Wu later, a new situation a day, Xia Jinhong was dazzled. And today's latest letter was sent when the negotiations at Jingfu Restaurant broke down and the two sides fought at Dongdaemun. Therefore, the current Xia Jinhong did not know the final turnaround, let alone that the two sides had reached an armistice agreement again.

"Young Master Jinhong! Then should we still go to Jining Prefecture? One of his men asked cautiously.

"the fart!" Xia Jinhong tore the letter to shreds angrily, "Stupid girl! Bai Erdu is dead, what are we going to Jining? ”

"Yes...... How should Cao Ding's side explain? They've got the brimstone ready, and they've spent all the money, huh? ”

"Silly girl!" Xia Jinhong gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Then land first!" Let me think about it! Bai Er, there is more than enough success and more failure! How much time did this bastard waste my master? ”

Xia Jinhong's several boats quickly found the nearest small dock to dock, and saw that his young master was on fire, and his subordinates did not dare to provoke more. I bought some wine and meat on the pier, and bought a few fresh river fish, and started to light a fire to cook, and soon the aroma was fragrant.

However, at this time, a fleet of ships intersected, and a person standing at the bow of the boat who happened to see the Xia family lit a match: "Huh? ”

The fleet slowly stopped, and a few people jumped off it, and came to the Xia family's boat along the shore: "Dare to ask this friend, what are you using?" Can you show me? ”

It happened to be Xia Jinhong, who was going ashore to relax. He is a generous person, and although he is still sulking, he is still very polite in the face of inquiries. Command your subordinates: "You're welcome, friend! Come on, give them a few boxes. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" After taking the match, the few people tried to use it, and then their expressions were surprised, as if it was difficult to suppress the excitement in their hearts, "Friend, take the liberty of asking, where did you get this ignition from?" ”

"Huh?" Xia Jinhong finally felt that something was wrong, "You want it?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Hehe, I have a lot here, I can sell you some. Flash"

“……”

Waiting for those people to leave with a few boxes of matches, both a little happy and a little disappointed, Xia Jinhong touched his chin thoughtfully. When the meal was finally ready, some of his subordinates came over and urged: "Young Master Jinhong, it's time for you to eat." ”

"Wait!" Xia Jinhong thought for a while, and then ordered, "After the meal, Ah Ming, you will take a few people and take a boat to Jining to complete the sulfur transaction with Cao Ding Li Qianzong." Also, send five boxes of matches back to Yuegang and let them take them to the country to try to sell. ...... per box Set fifty taels first, and find out the market of the Japanese people. And Ah Ming, you just stay in Jining and find a way to open a shop first. ”

"Huh? Young Master Jinhong! Jining's shop is not easy to find? ”

"Spend money and smash! Won't you use money? Xia Jinhong had already made a decision, "The others followed me back to Jingjiazhuang overnight. Even if Bai Er is dead, we have to search for his craftsmen who can make matches. Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, this thing is worth a lot! Quite a value! If our Xia family can get it, it will be developed! And also! Hurry up and go to the Nanjing branch, let them send more good hands! It's best to let the Zhangzhou family also send a few more ships, and I want good hands on sea and land! The more the merrier! As long as we can grab this match, it is worth a trip to this Jingjiazhuang! Hehe, what a lot of luck! If Bai Er is still alive, there are He Fu and Zhenwei, and we will have many businesses at most. Now this kind of chaos is just right, we just win in the chaos, and we will have the opportunity to eat alone! ”

……

At the gate of the East Second Fang, Qin Bai was just about to walk in, when he heard someone beckoning to him on the other side: "Bai Er, come here, talk to me for a few words." ”

Finding that the person who called him was Huang Jun of the Salt Gang, Qin Bai was puzzled in his heart, but his expression was calm, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Master Jun!" ”

Waving his hand, he signaled Qin Bai to relax. Huang Jun smiled and asked, "Bai Er, are you interested in joining our salt gang?" Don't think that if you have already made peace, you can sit back and relax. ”

Qin Bai was even more puzzled in his heart. Although Huang Jun's words are not wrong, the current situation is not so much about peace as about a truce. As for when the Great War broke out? It could be months or years from now, or it could be at the next hour, and no one can guarantee it.

However, it is impossible not to be vigilant in Jingjiazhuang, which is surrounded by a group of tigers. Qin Bai smiled and declined: "Master Jun, my situation is all with the help of my brothers. Don't you leave them alone? I can't do that. ”

"Hehe, you should be a clever person, can't you still understand it?" Huang Jun laughed in a low voice, "These few broken mills and a few private mines, are you reluctant?" If you are really reluctant, you can leave it to your current brother to take care of it. Come to my salt gang and work hard, if you don't say more, life won't be worse than now. Also, now that you have hated the third grandmother of Hefu, you have no backer at all, to put it mildly, you yourself are already difficult to protect, will your brother have a better life in the future? To tell the truth, in the current Jingjiazhuang, only my salt gang has the ability to take care of you. ”

"Thank you, Junye!" Qin Bai still refused, "They are unkind, and the kid can't be unjust." If I vote for you now, what will the rivers and lakes think? What will my brothers think? ”

"Don't talk this nonsense, if you're really that kind of person, I'll kill you. There are too many fools on the rivers and lakes who have been deceived by the word righteousness, even if it is your turn, it will not be your turn. I guess, you don't want to come, you just want to be the first head of your own rather than oxtail, right? Hehe, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force it, you can just go by yourself. Anyway, I'm going to leave it here today, and if you want to come one day, I'll answer it early. ”

Seeing Huang Jun turn around and enter the East Third Square, Qin Bai smiled slightly, and also turned around and walked towards his East Second Square. Although Huang Jun's words just now were not wrong, he was by no means a person who was willing to live under others, but almost everyone guessed Qin Bai's starting point, he didn't want to be bigger and bigger in the rivers and lakes, but wanted to be serious and do the right thing.

It's better to take advantage of this armistice period, step up small steps, produce more matches, and let yourself develop obscenely!
