Chapter 213: Refugees
In the city of Yunzhou, Haoyue Store, with the help of Princess Pingnan, successfully gained a firm foothold in Yunzhou.
In the past few days, the people who fled from Shaheguan have poured into Yunzhou City, and the prices in Yunzhou City have risen again and again, and the low-priced goods in Haoyue Store have suddenly caused the people to rush wildly.
Of course, luxury goods such as perfumes are also selling very well.
After all, it was the first time that perfume was sold in the south, and even wealthy people from several surrounding states would send people to Yunzhou to buy it.
During this time, Haoyue Store made a lot of money in Yunzhou City.
However, when Yu Hao passed by Yunzhou, he specially instructed Guan Yueyue to take out all the money he earned and exchange it for food and supplies to help the refugees.
Guan Yueyue naturally has no opinion, Haoyue Store wants to gain a firm foothold in Yunzhou City, in addition to the support of King Pingnan, it also needs the support of the people, and relieving refugees is undoubtedly the best way to win reputation.
At this time, a large number of refugees had gathered outside the Haoyue store, all of whom were receiving the steamed buns and porridge distributed free of charge by the Haoyue store.
"The owner of this Haoyue store is really a good person, in the entire Yunzhou City, except for the Pingnan Palace, there is only this Haoyue store."
"Isn't it, thousands of refugees come every day to receive porridge and steamed buns, how much does it cost?"
"You don't know this, the owner of this Haoyue store is Yu Haoyu, the son of Yue Guogong, who was a great benevolent man when he was in the capital, and single-handedly lowered the price of cloth and let the people wear cheap clothes."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also heard that the little lord also recruited a large number of military dependents to work in his manor, and the wages given were several times that of the outside, and the dart master who worked for the little lord, if he died in battle, the little lord would not only give a high pension, but also be responsible for supporting his family."
"Is there such a great good man in the world? No wonder the cloth in Haoyue's store is sold so cheaply, I thought there was something greasy before, but at this time it seems that I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”
"I look at you, you should kowtow to the little lord and apologize, you don't know yet, my brother in the Yunzhou army wrote that the little lord is now leading the Yunzhou army to resist the barbarians in Shahe Pass!"
"What? The little lord is a daughter, and he actually traveled thousands of miles to Yunzhou to help us defend against the barbarians? You're bragging, are you? ”
"I can prove that my family also wrote to say that the little lord has won several big battles in Shahe Pass, and the barbarians are so frightened that they pee their pants when they hear the name of the little lord, it seems that it won't be long before we can go home!"
"The little lord is really a living bodhisattva in the world, after I go back, I must set up an immortal tablet for the little lord at home, and worship it day and night!"
Everyone talked about it, Yu Hao not only helped them, but also helped them defend against foreign enemies, which was a great kindness to them.
Listening to the discussions around her, Guan Yueyue also showed a knowing smile, it seems that all this that the lord has done is worth it.
At this moment, a dart master suddenly ran out of Haoyue's store, but before he could run a few steps, he was pressed to the ground by Wangcai.
This person is Wangcai's son Aji, who, like Wangcai, is a member of the team of dart masters.
"Dad, you let me go, I'm going to Shahe Pass to fight side by side with the lord!"
Aji struggled desperately, but his strength was obviously not as great as Wangcai, and he couldn't move when he was pressed by Wangcai.
Wangcai slapped Aji in the face, and said angrily: "Nonsense, do what you have to do!" ”
"Dad, the lord and his brothers are fighting bloodily ahead, but we are hiding in Yunzhou City and doing nothing, and my conscience is not going!" Aggie roared.
Hearing Aji's words, Wangcai was stunned for a moment, not only Aji had such thoughts, but all the dart masters in Yunzhou City thought so, including Wangcai.
But Wangcai knew very well that the task given to him by Yu Hao was to protect the Haoyue Store in Yunzhou, and he had to complete Yu Hao's task.
Haoyue store is the foundation of the manor's foothold in Yunzhou, especially now that a large number of refugees are pouring into Yunzhou City, they should stick to their posts and not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Although most of the refugees are honest people, there are also many thugs and village tyrants who are rampant in the local area, and they are all under the guise of Haoyue Store.
If it weren't for the more than 200 dart masters guarding the store, I'm afraid that the Haoyue store would have been looted by these people long ago.
"Do you think Dad doesn't want to fight alongside the lord? But Dad hasn't forgotten the task given to Dad by the lord, if you all leave, who will guard the Haoyue Store? If the Haoyue store is lost, what face do we have to face the lord? If you disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame your father for not thinking about the love between father and son! Wangcai said angrily.
"Okay, okay, Brother Wangcai, don't be so angry, he's still a child!" Guan Yueyue hurriedly came over and pulled the two apart.
"Sixteen years old, what child? Every day will only cause trouble, not worry! Wangcai said angrily.
Guan Yueyue smiled slightly, patted the dust on Aji's body, and said, "Aji, what your father said is right, our task is to run the Haoyue Store in Yunzhou City, which is the foundation of the lord in Yunzhou." ”
"Only with a solid foundation can the lord kill the enemy at ease on the front line, and you stay here to contribute to the lord, aren't you?"
"But ......" Aggie wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head.
At this moment, an old man walked out of the refugees and said with a smile: "Little brother, although you stayed in the rear, but you saved the lives of tens of millions of our people, if it weren't for you, we would not be starving to death, but we would also be bullied by those bullies, and eventually become slaves, in our eyes, you are heroes like those soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line!" ”
The reason why so many refugees gathered outside the Haoyue store was not only because of the free food distributed here, but also because there were dart masters guarding the town, and no one dared to make trouble here.
You must know that they have come all the way from Shaheguan, bullying men and women, and killing people for money and killing people are staged every day.
Even at night they dare not close their eyes, for fear that once they fall asleep, they will never see the sun tomorrow again.
Even in Yunzhou City, such things happen from time to time.
It wasn't until they came to the vicinity of Haoyue's shop that this kind of thing was stopped, and they honest ordinary people could sleep peacefully.
"Yes, that's right, you're all heroes!" The other people also stood up and said.
Hearing the affirmative words of the people, many of the dart masters present showed proud looks.
Guan Yueyue smiled slightly, stood on the stone lion at the door of the store, and said loudly: "People, don't worry, as long as our Haoyue store is here, and our little lord Yu Hao is here, we will definitely be able to guard Shahe Pass, Yunzhou, and protect the safety of the people!" ”
