The next day, after Huang Yongfa bathed and changed clothes, he changed into a set of tuanhua silk plate collared clothes smoked with dipterocarp, and walked into the chessboard street with more than a dozen family members.

At the door of the Song family's cotton cloth shop, there were already standing stewards of large and small Jin merchants, and there were also some well-informed stewards of the Donglin Party, waiting for the results of today's big scene.

It is not only the Jin merchants who want water-powered spinning machines, but the Donglin Party is also eager to establish water-powered spinning workshops.

The bureaucratic squires of Songjiang Prefecture relied on large spinning wheels to become the textile center of the world, and all kinds of cotton cloth were shipped to the South Seas by boat, which was no longer a shipload of cotton cloth, but a shipload of gold and silver.

Therefore, the Jin merchants and the Donglin Party sent people to wait here early, and Huang Yongfa ate meat, and they also had to take a piece of the pie.

Huang Yongfa hadn't walked into Song's shop yet, and Zhu Shun, who heard the movement outside, immediately gave Old Lady Song a look.

The teacup in Mrs. Song's hand had been held for a long time, and when she saw Zhu Shun's expression, she knew that Huang Yongfa was coming, and her right hand shook it to the ground: "What!" You tell the old man again! ”

"When the old man came, he obviously brought more than a dozen pieces of food from his hometown, why was it not enough to eat for so many days."

"Say, are you greedy for ink!"

Because the old lady Song was relatively upright, she already had a face that was not angry and arrogant, and smashed the teacup to pieces, and even Huang Yongfa, who had just crossed the threshold, was startled.

Huang Yongfa's eyelids twitched violently, and he almost jumped to the side, but fortunately, he had experienced too many ups and downs, and quickly suppressed the fright, and said with a calm smile: "What made the old lady so angry." ”

Old lady Song snorted coldly, ignored Huang Yongfa, and said angrily: "Hurry up and contact a few big businessmen to sell all our cloth." ”

"If the Song family is delayed, take advantage of this great opportunity to raise hope.... Cough.... That one.... Relief for the victims, the old man is the only one who asks. ”

Old lady Song ignored Huang Yongfa, within Huang Yongfa's expectations, this notoriously upright old lady, if he ignored them, businessmen who were in collusion with the Donglin Party, then there would be a problem.

Hearing the two words of hope in the last sentence, Huang Yongfa, who thought that anyone was as mercenary as him, completely dispelled the last worry in his heart.

sneered in my heart: I am for profit, you are famous, everyone is a raccoon dog, what is pretending to be high.

Zhu Shun in the pine and bamboo screen, a trace of respect appeared on his face, but he didn't expect that the legendary word "integrity" really existed.

As a scholarly family, the most important thing for the Song family is reputation, and the old lady Song said that the reputation of the Song family for a hundred years will be ruined.

The good deeds done over the years, as well as the feat of depleting the family's wealth to save the victims, not only will not bring a trace of goodwill to the Song family, but will also become a stain on others attacking the Song family.

said that where did their Song family have such good intentions and did so many good deeds, and they were not hypocrites who sold their reputations.

Zhu Shun saw that after the old lady Song said this, he closed his old eyes, and his palms kept trembling.

Huang Yongfa, who didn't have any worries, laughed, changed his caution about letting the big housekeeper discuss this matter, and prepared to go into battle in person.

Anyway, it's all for business, the Song family is for fame, and the Huang family is for money: "Haha, this master has a batch of grain here, I don't know if the old lady wants it." ”

Zhu Shun knew that from now on, every word the old lady said would be equivalent to destroying the Song family step by step, and he was ready to come out from behind the pine and bamboo screen.

Old lady Song shook his head slightly, this matter can only be said by him, if Huang Yongfa sees Zhu Shun, he will be suspicious again.

The weather has turned colder, and it is no longer possible to take its time as before, and it is necessary to raise food for 500,000 victims in a month at the latest, or dozens more will starve to death every additional day.

The reputation of the Song family is important, but the lives of 500,000 Ming people are even more important.

Old lady Song turned her head, the expression on her face changed to an embarrassment, and she coughed lightly and said, "If you have something to say, the old man cares about hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, and there is no idle man here to talk to you." ”

Huang Yongfa knew that a scholarly scholar like Mrs. Song looked down on him, and when he saw a waiter who was not stage frightened, he was quite afraid of a scholar like Mrs. Song in the past.

If you meet them from afar on the chessboard street, you will hide in another alley and go around to another road.

Huang Yongfa didn't admit it, but when he faced a scholar like Mrs. Song, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

When he walked into Song's shop just now and saw Mrs. Song, Huang Yongfa almost turned his head and left, and when he spoke, he subconsciously put his eyes on Mrs. Song's shoes, not daring to look directly at this upright old lady.

Now, Huang Yongfa not only raised his head generously and looked directly at Mrs. Song, but also lost a trace of self-shame, and also met people in the same way calmly.

Huang Yongfa didn't continue to speak, just now he begged Old Lady Song, and now it is Old Lady Song begging him, there is no food, see what the Song family buys a good reputation.

Huang Yongfa sat on the official hat chair and beckoned: "First serve a pot of tea to Master Ben, let's talk slowly." ”

The old lady of Song hated the smoky officialdom, and hated the Jin merchants who betrayed the country and sought glory.

In the current situation, the old lady Song had to sit under the same roof with this Jin merchant who betrayed the country and sought glory: "Serve tea." ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the head of the Song family next to Zhu Shun closed his eyes suddenly, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

When Mrs. Song was a child, the head of the Song family was the accompanying reading boy by his side, and he followed Mrs. Song for a lifetime, and the head of the Song family knew very well what Mrs. Song meant when she said this.

Zhu Shun took a towel from the carved bamboo coffee table next to him and handed it to the old man, sighing.

Huang Yongfa outside was even more proud when he heard this sentence of tea, and when the tea came, he took a sip and said: "Master Ben has a lot of food here, I don't know how much Shuntian cloth there is in Old Lady Song." ”

Old Lady Song suddenly had a hint of urgency on her face, and asked anxiously, "How much grain is there?" ”

Huang Yongfa blew the hot air and said with an indifferent smile: "It's not much, enough for 200,000 people to eat until the beginning of spring next year." ”

"Two hundred thousand!" After saying this, Old Lady Song was really excited as Huang Yongfa expected, and soon there was a hint of gloom.

Huang Yongfa Zhizhu chuckled lightly: excited, it should be that there is enough food to buy fame, gloomy, it is estimated that this old boy's Shuntian cloth is not enough.

On the one hand, he was a little discouraged, and on the other hand, this old boy should be going to sing.
