Anning County was in chaos, and Liu Zhiran was more than 500 miles away at this time.

In the backyard of the Wuwei County head office of Yingfeng rice grain.

On the round table, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are complete, and the amber-like Shaoxing flower carvings are lush and long.

Liu Zhiran is talking happily with Zhu Wanliang of Yingfeng Rice Grain.

I wish Wanliang a little fat, as his name suggests, and he looks loyal and gentle.

"The Lu family's grain shop has always taken the grain road in the south of the Yangtze River, how did you come to the northwest to collect grain this time?" Zhu Wanliang said with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"This flood in the south of the Yangtze River, grain production has decreased, and I also know that although my Lu family is a grain merchant in the northwest, it has always collected grain from the south of the Yangtze River and transported it to the north to sell. But this year, Jiangnan really can't receive food, and I have always known that the boss in the industry has great powers, so I came to the northwest to ask the boss for a hand. ”

Liu Zhiran returned to the demeanor of Lu Gongzi, gentle and elegant.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu is polite." Zhu Wanliang laughed, his face was hazy, but the words that came out of his mouth were not ambiguous at all: "Everyone knows this Jiangnan flood, and your lordship's difficulties can be understood." ”

"It is said that Brother Lu is an old grain merchant in the northwest, and he was introduced by the governor of Lanzhou, and he is also his own talent. However, now that the production in Jiangnan is reduced, the price of grain is rising everywhere, I have grain in my hand, and how much I want, but at this price, I don't know if Lu Gongzi can accept it. Zhu Wanliang looked at Liu Zhiran's eyes and asked tentatively.

"The price is not a problem, but I want a lot of quantity, I don't know how much Boss Zhu said, is there any such number?" Liu Zhiran said, making a gesture in his hand.

Seeing Mr. Lu's gesture, Zhu Wanliang was taken aback and said in surprise: "Zhu doesn't know, it turns out that Brother Lu's business is so big." ”

"Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, how big a plate can be in Northern Xinjiang, Boss Zhu also has a number in his heart, if he just sells it to Guannei, then half of this number is enough to sell, and the remaining half is sold for ......" Liu Zhiran looked at Boss Zhu and smiled without saying a word, and wrote the words "剌" and "Tartar" with wine in his hand.

Zhu Boss understands that this refers to the foreign enemies of the northern frontier of the continent, Warat and Tatar.

Zhu Wanliang's drunken and hazy eyes became clear, his face changed from shock to calm, and the whole person was no longer that loyal and pure, but plain and a little sharper: "Brother Lu is really honest enough, since Brother Lu can pick up his words to this extent, I don't think it's just to buy food, right?" ”

Liu Zhiran showed a smile on his face, wiped the handwriting on the table with his fingers at will, and said with a smile, "I wish the boss to be wise, I recently heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been eyeing Yingfeng Grain Shop, and I also know that Yingfeng and our Lu family have that business." ”

He dipped the wine again and wrote the word "Tu", and glanced at the boss Zhu meaningfully.

The two knew that this was referring to the Western Turks.

Zhu the boss remained quiet, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it with a sip of his neck. The eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and the gaze is burning and pressing.

Liu Zhiran didn't care about Boss Zhu's gaze at him, knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said: "Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is keeping an eye on Boss Zhu's business, I'm afraid that the grain you promised over there last year will not be able to be fulfilled and sent, plus there was a snow disaster over there last winter, and a large piece of grass froze to death. ”

Zhu Wanliang's face was completely devoid of alcohol, and he looked at Liu Zhiran with a smile: "Then what does Brother Lu have to propose?" ”

"Don't hide it from the boss, the problems encountered now are the same as those of the boss, I wish the boss that there is food that cannot be sent, and there is no food that can be sent in the next."

Liu Zhiran paused when he said this, pursed his lips and smiled: "The difference is that I am just reluctant to make this investment, and I can do business or not; I wish the boss is different, I'm afraid that this business can't be done if it doesn't work, right? ”

Liu Zhiran said this, and the situation on the table has been turned upside down.

From the beginning, his begging has been reversed to the two of them cooperating on an equal footing, and even, Boss Zhu is faintly subject to him.

The smile on Liu Zhiran's face became more and more calm, and he leisurely reached out and put a piece of meat with chopsticks in his mouth and chewed a few bites, and then smiled at Boss Zhu, who was holding the wine glass and staring at him like a knife: "I think about it, we might as well work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

A few days later, it was finally time for Bai Luo and Daniel Zhang to agree on the date.

In the past few days, the contradictions between the people and the displaced people have become less acute, and everyone has tacitly reached a balance of coexistence.

And Daniel Zhang, who set off from the county ten days ago, finally returned to Anning County on this day.

Compared with ten days ago, he was a whole circle thinner, his face was covered with wind and frost, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his lips were chapped and white, and his feet were covered with a layer of blood scabs that were knotted and broken.

In the past ten days, he has been running around day and night, trying his best to notify every gathering place of displaced people in the surrounding area, and even as far as Minle County, which is 300 miles away.

During the ten days, Daniel Zhang did not stop for a moment, even the water and dry food were eaten while walking, and the wooden staff on the crutches was broken twice.

It was a lot of hardship, but it didn't live up to Bai Luo's trust, and he almost notified the surrounding homeless people.

It was also because of his notice that every homeless person rushed to Anning County within the time limit and seized this last opportunity.

In the past few days, the streets and alleys have been filled with displaced people, and the entire county town has been crowded.

And Daniel Zhang, who arrived on the last day, was exhausted and exhausted.

His bare feet were scarred. With each step, the wounds on the soles of my feet were painful from the stones and sand on the ground.

Rushing day and night, his already tired waist couldn't straighten up.

Daniel Zhang moved into the county town step by step, his knuckles on the wooden staff were white, his body was bent, and he was struggling to drag his heavy legs and feet.

As soon as Daniel Zhang stepped into Anning County, a group of displaced people squatting at the gate of the city saw him head-on.

Seeing Daniel Zhang look so exhausted when he came in, they all stood up silently, but did not step forward to help Daniel Zhang.

The rules of the homeless people, except for the old people and young children, no matter how old or young you are, as long as you can still walk and have not fallen, no one will support you.

Because every homeless person is the same, the same tired, the same tired, when everyone has no spare energy to help others, everyone can only rely on themselves.

Every homeless person is destined to not be able to rely on others, so he can only keep up with the ranks of the homeless on his own, beg on himself, resist the wind, frost, rain and snow on his own, and rely on his own ...... Earn your life.
