Hong Chengchou's heart was shaken.

Everyone who knows a little bit about history knows that Hong Chengchou is not a person with a firm position, his personal discipline is actually very ordinary, and he is even more unscrupulous in his life and work, and it is very normal for him to waver.

In his bones, he is a Wang Jingwei-style character.

But at this time, Hong Chengchou just felt that no matter how unfragrant the court was, because of his relationship with Xu Jiazhuang, he had not yet torn his face and entered a hostile state, so even if he had the heart to surrender, it was impossible to openly rebel.

He can only bury this seed in his heart for the time being, and he will make a wise choice when there are great changes in the coming day.

Before that, he only needs to increase the chips in his hand, as long as the meritorious service is huge, he may not have the opportunity to sit on the rotating chief consul of the Great Xu Empire in the future.

……

November 20th.

Although it is not an online shopping carnival like Double 11 in modern society.

But for the members of the visiting purchasing group, today is a crazy chopping hand, a day of crazy buying.

The business district in the west of the city, an area of about 600,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 shops sitting in business, the shopping environment is much better than the Chengnan wholesale market, and it is also more suitable for bulk goods trading.

The members of the delegation who visited the purchasing group were obviously big customers.

General store for military goods.

Half-body plate armor, buy.

Alloy goose feather knife and chopping knife, buy.

White sugar grenades, buy.

There are also multifunctional alloy daggers, mechanical watches, binoculars, tweed coats, compressed biscuits, lighters, penicillin, Yunnan Baiyao, etc., all of which have been bought more or less.

They shot generously one by one, and even created an atmosphere of comparing with each other.

Hong Chengchou said: "There are 10,000 sets of half-body plate armor, 5,000 goose knives and horse chopping knives, and 1,000 bicycles. ”

Cao Wenzhao said: "6,000 sets of half-body plate armor + Yanling knife, 3,000 Jinlong brand bicycles, I want to learn from the Tianxiong Army and build a mobile army of half-cavalry and half-bicycle." ”

Yang Yufan said: "Half a silver dollar for a sugar grenade, okay, give me 300,000, this thing is much stronger than the tattered firearms of the imperial court, and there are also 3,000 Jinlong brand bicycles, and in the future, my Tongzhou army will also have the ability to chase and kill the enemy by bicycle." ”

Wang Hong said: "My Tianjin army can't be bad, but it's not enough to be strong in weapons, I also want to train my Tianjin army to be the second in the Xu family's army, so that the sons and daughters can grow muscles, and they must also have the ability to fight face-to-face with Jiannu!" 200,000 sugar grenades, 100,000 meters of barbed wire, canned ham for lunch, canned pork, canned sea fish, even if it's not cheap, I have to buy 1 million! It is also necessary to set up a large-scale chicken farm in Tianjin, and we must build a strong army! ”

Zuo Liangyu had to say: "5,000 sets of half-body plate armor and Yanling knives, 100,000 grenades, 500 Jinlong bicycles, no, buy 1,000 units, and 50 mechanical watches, 30 telescopes, 500 tweed coats, and 1,000 lighters...... Originally, his plan was to buy more luxury goods for personal enjoyment, and he didn't plan to spend more money on the big-headed soldiers, but now that so many colleagues have plans to strengthen the army, he can't be too outstanding.

……

On the other side of the business district.

There is a member of the purchasing group, which is very unique, because she has been shopping for most of the day with a few entourages, and only orders these things:

10,000 sets of half-body plate armor + alloy Yanling knife, with an order amount of 300,000 silver dollars.

100,000 sugar grenades, with an order amount of 50,000 silver dollars.

20,000 sets of military training clothes (10,000 sets of winter clothes and 10,000 sets of summer clothes), and the order amount is 150,000 silver dollars.

Penicillin + Yunnan Baiyao + several bandages, the order amount is 30,000 silver dollars.

All of the above adds up, and it costs 530,000 silver dollars, and other things, such as bicycles, have not been bought.

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

It can be described as very cautious and economical, only buy some of the goods you need, and the rest are to take a look and leave, or shop around.

This, naturally, caused discontent among the entourage.

"Mother, buy a hundred bicycles, you must be able to use them, mechanical watches are for thirty or fifty yuan, binoculars must be bought for more than ten, and lighters, which are much better than fire sickles, the price is three silver dollars, and it is more than a thousand silver dollars to buy five hundred, and Feng Yi has been married to me for many years, and I don't even have a decent dress, buy her two good-looking tweed coats, oh I have to buy a few for your mother, filial piety to you."

The middle-aged man in his thirties kept whispering in the ear of this sturdy old woman, and even said in a coquettish tone, no, Ma Bao Nan's tone, kept pleading and pleading, hoping that the old woman would be relieved, and shook her arm and said: "Mother, it doesn't cost much, but there are nearly four million silver dollars on the deposit certificate." ”

"No, you can't buy unnecessary things!"

The old woman still didn't let go, and said, "Even if it is something you need, you have to see how much you need it, and then shop around to buy it." ”

"Old lady, what does Ling Lang want to buy, or I'll pay for it, it won't cost too much money anyway." Deng Xi, the chief soldier who had been following behind like an oil bottle, came up again and offered to pay.

"Get out! Stay away from my mother, you don't need to pay. ”

The middle-aged man Ma Xianglin didn't appreciate it, but wanted to drive Deng Xi away with a black face.

"I must not be rude."

Qin Liangyu had to criticize out loud: "Lord Deng is a guest and my colleague, how can he be so rude?" ”

"Mother, this guy doesn't have good intentions, and at his age, he actually wants to get close to you." Ma Xianglin had already seen Deng Xi's thoughts and purposes, so he looked at him extremely unpleasantly.

"Lord Deng, I don't know if you can avoid it? Wu'er is too presumptuous, and the old body wants to ask for a monk and teach a good lesson, which really makes you laugh. ”

Qin Liangyu's face was pale, and he was about to train his son, and scared Ma Xianglin to kneel on the ground, Deng Yu saw this, so he had to arch his hand and said: "Old lady, Ling Lang is not wrong, it is Deng Mou who is abrupt, so I will leave, and if Mrs. has something, she can come to Deng at any time." ”

Deng Xi left helplessly.

"Everyone is gone, get up quickly."

Qin Liangyu glanced at his son, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ma Xianglin got up happily, it turned out that his mother was not really angry, but just scared and scared him.

Immediately, the group visited many shops and inquired about the prices of a large number of goods, but they placed very few orders to buy, and they stayed until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and they bought more than 30,000 silver dollars of goods, all of which were hoes, sickles, improved seeds, pesticides and pesticide sprayers, and other agricultural items.

But his son Ma Xianglin did not dare to express his opinion.

Daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi could only look at the tweed coats, women's watches, life-size glass mirrors and other goods in the window from time to time in a daze, revealing a look of longing and yearning, but she didn't dare to ask for it.

The two nephews, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming, didn't dare to put forward their opinions, even if they moved their mouths countless times and offered to buy a bicycle, but the words came to their mouths and swallowed back.

Fortunately, Chen Dingcheng, a shopping guide who has been accompanying the purchase, noticed that Qin Liangyu placed an obviously small number of orders, and compared with other shopping guide guides, the performance he won was as little as one million silver dollars, and as many as two or three million silver dollars, and there was a purchasing team member named Zu Dabi, who had been hollowed out by the shopping guide and all the money was spent.

What about Chen Dingcheng? The performance is only more than 560,000 silver dollars, and you don't need to look at it to know that it is the penultimate one.

How can this explain the past, and what will his colleagues think of him?

After thinking about it, he had to open his mouth and ask next to Qin Liangyu: "Old lady, I see that you are hesitant in front of many commercial goods, you want to buy but don't dare to buy it, you need but don't dare to ask for more, old lady, I don't know what concerns make you so entangled?" ”

Brush~

Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Yiming, and Qin Gongming's ears were all pricked up.

Asked out.

They had been holding back questions for most of the day, and finally someone asked them, which felt so pleasant.

"Old ......"

Qin Liangyu opened his mouth, but immediately shook his head, obviously not wanting to say the reason.

"Old lady, although it is a shopping guide, but to a certain extent, it represents Xujiazhuang, if you can't solve your concerns below, but you can feedback the problem, Xujiazhuang always has a way to solve it, you don't have to hold it in your heart." Chen Dingcheng said again.

"Yes, mother, tell me, what are you worried about?" Son Ma Xianglin said.

"Mother, if there is any problem, everyone will face it together, and you don't have to bear it alone." Zhang Fengyi said.

"Auntie, let's talk about it."

"Auntie, what is the problem that makes you dare not spend so much silver?"

Nephews Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming said one after another.

"Hey, our stone pillars are too poor."

Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "Shizhu has eight mountains, one water and one land, but there are 60,000 households and more than 300,000 people, the land is scarce, the food is not enough to eat every year, the young people have no way to live, they can only join the army and join the white pole soldiers, now that the battle is over, we all have to go back, what do we rely on to feed the people and ourselves?" Do you rely on the more than three million silver dollars earned this time? How much can this money be given to 300,000 people? What are we going to do when the money is spent? ”

She finally voiced her concerns.

Point out one of the most practical problems.

That's right, although the land of the stone pillar is small, but in the territory of Sichuan, which has experienced many years of luxury and peace, it is a rare place of paradise, there are a large number of people who ran to the stone pillar for refuge, although the place is poor, but it can survive in the troubled times, resulting in a small stone pillar, carrying more than its carrying capacity of the population, and Qin Liangyu is very popular with the people, even if most of the Sichuan area is restored to tranquility, the people of the stone pillar rarely leave.

This naturally became Qin Liangyu's headache, it is impossible to drive away some of the people, and it is impossible to live a life of poverty and luxury by himself from the people, Qin Liangyu will not treat the people as a burden, but must share weal and woe with them, so even if she earns 3.959 million silver dollars this time, most of it will be spent on the heads of the people of Shizhu.

Mortified.

Qin Liangyu's words, Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Yiming, and Qin Gongming were very ashamed and embarrassed.

Chen Dingcheng, a shopping guide, couldn't help but feel moved.

Immediately bowed deeply and said: "The old lady doesn't have to worry, I will immediately feedback this problem, I think with the resources and wisdom of Xu Jiazhuang, I will be able to solve the old lady's concerns." ”

……

Soon.

The top management of Xujiazhuang held a discussion meeting, focusing on how to solve the development dilemma of the stone pillars.

But the conclusion is very pessimistic, and it is impossible for a place like the stone pillar to develop.

Because this kind of mountainous area needs resources but no resources, arable land but no arable land, and the population burden is still so large, even if it is not expected to develop in hundreds or thousands of years.

"Not necessarily, I don't think so, don't jump to conclusions too soon."

The owner Xu Yuan shook his head, not planning to give up just like that.

He deliberately returned to modern society, looked up a large number of relevant materials on the Internet, and finally discovered two advantages of stone pillars:

First, the population is large.

Second, it is on the edge of the Yangtze River and has the advantage of water transportation.

Now I am afraid that some people will disdain it, if this is an advantage, then there are too many places with similar advantages, and it is a pipe dream to develop and get rid of poverty based on these two points alone.

But Xu Yuan thinks it can.

The population of Shizhu is large, just enough to develop the textile industry to make clothing, and Sichuan is rich in Shu brocade, do not worry about raw materials, Shizhu only needs to put a large number of Shu brocade, with the help of sewing machines to make all kinds of garments, and then through the Yangtze River downstream, the garments are sold to the south of the Yangtze River, and then sold to the north through the canal, and even sold to overseas markets by sea, which can not only solve a large number of jobs, but also bring a lot of income.

Xu Yuan believes that the textile industry and garment industry alone can make Shizhu get rid of poverty and become rich.

In addition, there are many stone pillar mountains, which can be engaged in tea garden planting, medicinal herb planting, beehive honey collection and other characteristic agriculture, and Xujiazhuang can help solve the problem of marketing, which can also bring a lot of income.

In a word! As long as the brain is flexible enough, there are more solutions than difficulties.

So when Xu Yuan personally formulated the "Stone Pillar Poverty Alleviation Formula", Chen Dingcheng handed it to Qin Liangyu and told her that the Eucalyptus was formulated by the owner himself.

After reading the content of this plan, Qin Liangyu trembled violently, and the old tears kept rolling down, and it took a long time to hold back his excitement and solemnly put forward a request: "Guide Chen, the old body wants to see the owner of your village and express his gratitude in person, I don't know if I can report it on my behalf?" ”
