For the next two consecutive days, Hua Mulan was also calm, and every day she changed several groups of people dressed as merchants from the north to drive a large number of livestock and horse-drawn carriages full of furs to trade, successfully hiding from the merchants of Suiyang City, and reducing the price every day.

On the third day, the purchase price of Huajiabao was reduced to 1,000 yuan for a sheep and 3,000 yuan for a cow.

Hong Fugui, who had just completed the transaction and was directing his servants to carry boxes of money and horses onto the carriage, saw Liu Guang coming from a distance on horseback, and immediately greeted him and saluted: "Why is the master here?" ”

Liu Guang stopped and said: "The new recruits are checking their official duties, I went to the posts below to keep an eye on the post guards for drills, and I just came back!" What are you doing here? ”

Hong Fugui sighed: "I don't know, the market of livestock and fur on the market is not very good recently, the price has been declining, we have too many backlogs of livestock and fur wool, and the capital turnover is not effective, in order to avoid greater losses, we have to dispose of it at a low price." You see, the livestock and fur merchants of the entire Suiyang City are here! ”

Liu Guang was a little surprised: "Oh? Who is so rich and wants to eat the livestock and fur of the entire Suiyang City? ”

"Mulan of Huajiabao! You see, isn't that coming out of the inside? Hong Fugui pointed to Mulan who came out of the acquisition point and said.

Liu Guang looked forward and saw Mulan in men's clothes, but the man next to Mulan made his eyes stare and asked involuntarily, "Why is he by Mulan's side?" ”

Hong Fugui said: "You're talking about Zhao Junsheng, right?" The two of them are friends for a long time, and it's normal for them to be together! Why, the lord knows him? ”

Before Liu Guang could speak, Zhao Junsheng saw him first, walked over with Hua Mulan and asked, "Liu Lingshi, why are you here?" ”

Liu Guang was originally unhappy with Zhao Junsheng, and he was not afraid of him because his uncle was a county prince, and the smell of gunpowder became strong: "My subordinates are in Zheyi thirty miles away to urge the post guards to practice, and I just returned, but shouldn't I be on duty in the yamen at this time when I join the army?" How did you end up here? ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately put on a straight face, put on an official prestige and shouted: "Where is this official going, what is he doing, do you need to report to your subordinate?" You just said that you were supervising the post guards to practice in Zheyi? You ran back before Shen Shi, I think you are a typical representative of indulgence and hard work! If you don't realize your mistakes deeply, then continue to write until you deeply realize your mistakes! If you don't want to write, you can do it, and you won't be on duty at the yamen tomorrow! ”

is the so-called official level to crush people, in this feudal era is vividly embodied! Whether it is the county government or the Taishou Mansion, except for a few main officials who are officially appointed by the imperial court, the other officials are not established, they are all hired by these court officials, and the appointment and removal power of the officials at the level of the following military is all in the hands of the Taishou and the county order, and the appointment and dismissal power of the lower order history, the history of the book order and the scribe is in the hands of their top boss to join the army, and the top boss wants you to do it, and if you don't want to do it, you can be dismissed without even looking for a reason.

"Count you ruthless!" Liu Guang couldn't hold back, dropped a cruel sentence and rode away.

Hong Fugui didn't expect that the young man beside Hua Mulan turned out to be the top boss of his master, so he hurriedly bowed and left in a hurry.

Hua Mulan said at this time: "This Liu Guang seems to be the nephew of Wu Zhen, the county prince, right?" If you rectify him like this, you're not afraid of offending Wu Zhen? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "It's superfluous to worry, my official position was appointed by General Wan, and I was born to stand on the opposite side of Wu Zhen, if I look at Wu Zhen and flatter Wu Zhen, I will have to be laid off in two days!" Officialdom, it's not so easy to mix! ”

"Laid off?" Mulan's face was full of doubts.

"Uh······" Zhao Junsheng reacted and hurriedly explained: "It's just that he was dismissed!" ”

"Okay, your plan has worked, I believe that in two days, the price of livestock fur in the entire city of Henan will further decline, you are ready to buy it on a large scale, I will be busy with the yamen and the establishment of a leather factory, go first!"

"Okay, slow down!" Hua Mulan watched Zhao Junsheng gallop away on horseback, and couldn't help shouting behind her.

After Zhao Junsheng said goodbye to Mulan, he rode into the city and saw several people kneeling on the ground at the gate of the city, and these people all had a grass stuck in their heads, which was ······ Insert the label to sell the first?

At this time, a rather familiar face appeared in Zhao Junsheng's sight, he jumped off his horse, led the horse to these kneeling people who were selling their bodies, looked at one of them and exclaimed: "Uncle Liang, you ······ Why are you here? ”

A little boy with a straw mark on his head, squatting beside him, a frail middle-aged man in his twenties and thirties, with a messy bun on the top of his head, a few strands of long hair hanging down from his sideburns, and his expression looked quite tired and haggard.

This person's surname is Liang, his name is lonely, he was the clerk of the scout camp where Zhao Junsheng's grandfather Zhao Gui was, the person responsible for recording military merits, and Zhao Gui is a comrade who has a good relationship, and later withdrew from the army with Zhao Gui due to injury and returned to his hometown, Zhao Gui often walked around when he was alive, when Zhao Gui died, Liang Lin also came to help deal with the burial matters, and he hadn't been here much in the past two months, looking at his current appearance, Zhao Junsheng knew that something must have happened to their family.

Liang Xiao looked up at Zhao Junsheng when he heard the sound, with a trace of shame and embarrassment on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Is it Brother Jun?" Let you see and laugh, Uncle Liang is ashamed, ashamed! ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly squatted down and pointed at the little boy and asked, "Uncle Liang, this is the little brother, right?" What's wrong with you guys? How did you get to this point? ”

Liang Lin sighed: "There was a big flood in the house, and the crops, fields and houses were all washed away, and there was no harvest, and there was nowhere to stay!" There are many children in the family, and your aunt suddenly became seriously ill, so in order to treat your aunt, she had to do this in desperation! ”

Liang Lin said as he said that tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, Zhao Junsheng suddenly felt a sour nose, although Liang Lin was only responsible for recording military exploits in the army in the past, but the documents of the scout camp were something that ordinary people could handle? This person is also a man with iron bones and a knife that has licked blood, if there is no other way, how can he fall to the point of selling his sons and daughters?

"No matter how sad your life is, you can't sell your little brother!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he grabbed the straw mark on the little boy's head and threw it on the ground, picked him up and put him on horseback, and pulled Liang Liang up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the house with my little nephew to eat something, let's figure out a way together!" ”

Zhao Jun dragged Liang Lian's father and son to the house, and shouted when he entered the backyard: "Uncle Hua, look who I brought!" ”

Hua Arc walked out of the room under the care of Hua Yuan with both hands on the auxiliary walking frame, and saw Liang Lin appear in front of him, and hurriedly stepped forward with the walking frame in excitement, "Liang Lian, you ······ There you are! ”

Liang Lin didn't expect to see Hua Arc here, seeing that he was inconvenient to walk, and seemed to be sick, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hua Bingtou, long time no see, you are ······"

The two of them got together for a while and sighed, sat down and talked about their experiences over the years.

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly went to Zhang Luo to eat, drink and meat, and quickly got a table, invited the two to the table, he accompanied the side to pour wine for the two, Liang Yi's son Liang Yi held a big bowl and devoured it, obviously hungry.

After a few glasses of wine, Hua Arc figured out the reason why Liang Lin appeared here with his son, and immediately scolded him for not selling his son.

"Ahem!" Zhao Junsheng coughed twice, and said to Liang Xiao and Hua Arc: "Uncle Liang, I am recently preparing to set up a leather clothing factory, that is, to collect leather goods first, and after preliminary processing, it will be made into leather clothes, and it will definitely take a lot of labor, but I am now working in the government and I don't have much energy to manage, so I want to find a trustworthy person to preside, I want to ask Uncle Liang to come and help me, first rent out the fields at home, and then take my aunt and several other younger brothers and sisters over, and rent a house nearby to settle down, Doctor Zhang, who treated Uncle Hua, is very skilled, I will ask him to come over and show my aunt, what do you think? ”
