Xu Naizhao likes and is a little annoyed by this Sang Yu. I like this ingenious outburst, without the appearance of a rich man, and he is generous. And it's the kind of generosity that is very good at getting things done. You see, almost every time she comes, in addition to the gifts she gives herself, she always brings a pile of labor and military goods, which are praised by the soldiers in the battalion. Annoyed? It was the Angel Comptoir that clearly took over and over again to help the rebels in the city, and couldn't catch the actual handle. But if you think about it, businessmen always have their profit-only side.

After Sang Yu sat down, it took a while to turn her gaze from the door to Xu Naizhao, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, "My lord, is the city attacking again today?" ”

"Yes," Xu Naizhao sighed, "These rebellions are really" He shook his head, not wanting to say any more.

"Alas! Injured so many soldiers," Sang Yu also raised a pair of thin eyebrows, and sighed lightly, "I don't know how long this battle will last." ”

"Merciful Lord, save these wretched creatures! Amen! Luo Xiaoquan drew a cross on his chest and muttered.

Xu Naizhao glanced at the priest amusedly, and then looked at Sang Yu, "Madam, isn't the cargo ship of your trading house coming and going smoothly, it seems that there has been no trouble?" ”

"I see what the adults said, can't I come to see you and the brothers without trouble?" Sang Yu smiled softly, "People are here to thank adults." ”

Xu Naizhao also stroked his beard and smiled, "You just need to stop making any mess for this official." ”

Sang Yu pursed her lips and looked unhappy, "Are you still saying that our trading house has sold arms?" I really haven't sold it, and if you don't believe adults, you can ask the bishop. I've only sold food, but I can't help it, there are hungry people in the city, and I can't watch them starve to death. Besides, everyone is starving to death, and it's useless for adults to build an empty city, right? ”

Luo Xiaoquan nodded again and again, "Miesan is an excellent parishioner, and a lot of the money she earns from business is used in the church to help the poor. This is also what God means. I assure Mr. Governor that Missan will never get his hands on any military supplies. She was a peace-loving, kind-hearted parishioner. ”

"Forget it, since the governor of the people thinks we're troublesome, let's go quickly." Sang Yu stood up, grabbed one of Luo Xiaoquan's arms, and snorted.

"Oh, if you say you're angry, you're angry?" Xu Naizhao looked at these two people strangely, quickly stood up, and stretched out his hands, "Didn't the official just laugh." Can't go, I'll leave after lunch. ”

Luo Xiaoquan looked at Xu Naizhao and smiled, "Mr. Governor, the ladies are not to be provoked." ”

"I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it." Xu Naizhao also smiled, "Madam, give the official a face, if you leave like this, then others will not privately scold the official for being rude." ”

"Who's leaving? People won't leave. Sang Yu chuckled, "People are here this time, and they still have something to discuss with adults." ”

"Look, the official will say, there must be something when the lady comes." Xu Naizhao smiled and invited the two of them to sit down, "Madam said, what's the matter?" ”

Sang Yu sat down again and thought for a moment, "Consul Jin has a new steamer, and I plan to buy it." It's faster to run business with this kind of boat than it is now. En" she looked at Xu Naizhao with a smile, "Everyone says that the first voyage of the new ship must be grand, so as to ensure safety." At the moment when the war is tense, I don't want to make such a big hand, I just want to ask the adults to come out at that time. I don't know."

"That's it, it's easy to say." Xu Naizhao waved his hand happily, "Madame has a lot of money, and it is also a good thing for one party." Rest assured, the official will definitely go when the time comes. ”

"Adults are able to sympathize with the sufferings of the people." Sang Yu clasped her hands in front of her chest and said very sincerely, "The little girl will save money in the future, and she must open a power plant in Baoshan. When the time comes, the first one will be installed for adults, so that adults don't have to worry about reading books at night. ”

"Good, good, good!" Xu Naizhao was moved by Sang Yu's words, this woman is really not an ordinary person. Able to do things, and can also speak. Alas, it seems that rich people are just comfortable, and they can do whatever they want.

Gu Tonglin has been detained in Zhenjiang Prison for 20 days now, and although he has not received any punishment, he has never suffered this kind of suffering, and he is already haggard.

He is a native of Anhui Province, and his family has been engaged in the salt trade for several generations and has accumulated a lot of money. In his generation, he originally wanted to get out of the salt industry and study and enter the office. It's a pity that his father died early, and he just won the promotion, so as the eldest son, he had to take over the family's business. Gradually, however, he saw that the salt movement had begun to decline. So, he bought a lot of land in Zhenjiang as a foundation, and at the same time, he was looking for a better business economy. Just when he contacted the foreign company in Shanghai and planned to buy some machines and enter the textile, printing and dyeing industries, Zhenjiang was occupied by the Taiping army.

For the Taiping Army, from the bottom of his heart, he does not agree, he is familiar with the Three Outlines and Five Constants, and believes that all living beings should abide by their duties. However, after the Taiping army entered the city, they closed brothels and killed bullies, which made him have some good feelings for these people who dared to commit rebellion. In particular, he has long hated the red mansions in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou that fill the streets and alleys, and in his opinion, it is the culprit who corrupts human morality.

When the Taiping army came to requisition food and salaries that day, he originally planned to take out tens of thousands of taels of silver, and military disasters have always been disasters for large merchants, so he naturally understood this truth. Since he didn't leave before the Taiping army attacked the city, he was prepared for this thought, and it was better to spend some money to buy peace than to wander around. However, if someone comes to the door, he has to pay 200,000 taels, and if he can't get it, he will raid his home. He is on fire, he has lived to be in his fifties, and he is afraid of everything, but he is not afraid of being hard. So, there is today. He also regretted that he did not stop the entanglement between Jiading and the Taiping Army in time, but fortunately no one was killed. Even so, he was also nervous, seeing that the rich men he knew in the past were arrested like himself, I am afraid that this time it will be more than lucky.

Early in the morning, from the discussion of the prison guards, Gu Tonglin heard the news that Huang Zilong, who had imprisoned him, was beheaded. He wondered. With the help of the jailer's breakfast, he looked at the old jailer, who was usually quite kind, and asked.

The old jailer squinted at him, "You have merit, we have worked hard to serve you for so many days, and people have paid the ransom money one by one and gone out." As long as you can, not to mention eating our prison food for nothing, you actually prevent your family from taking out the silver. Alas, what's the use of money, life or money? ”

Seeing Gu Tonglin don't turn his head again, looking stubborn, the old jailer smiled hesitantly, "Eat, look at your creation, this may be the last meal we will send you." ”

Gu Tonglin picked up the black cake that couldn't say what it was, and dropped it casually, "Tell me to eat this for the last meal?" ”

"Yo, what else is this picking?" The old jailer shook his head with a sigh, "Our Heavenly Army brothers are going to fight with the Qing Demon, and sometimes they may not be able to eat this kind of full meal." ”

Looking at the departing old jailer, Gu Tonglin's mood was chaotic again. He didn't have the heart to eat, so he leaned down on the straw and began to think crankily with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he heard the chains on the door crack. Alas, it was finally over, and at this moment, Gu Tonglin was a little calm. He did not follow the sound to look, but sat up, reached out and picked up the hard cake, took a bite vigorously, picked up the broken porcelain bowl, and swallowed the contents of his mouth with warm water.

"Hehe, don't eat any more." Gu Tonglin heard the person squatting beside him talking. He snorted, and didn't look at anyone, "Don't you even want to ask the old man to eat the last meal?" ”

"Sanniang, look, there are really people who like to eat things here."
