The Wannian departed from Ningbo Port and sailed south.

In Fuzhou, to the south, a group of three people is laboriously surrounding the people in a place.......

"Lord Zhao, where have we been?"

Qingniu asked.

At this time, he no longer has the energy he had when he set off.

The corners of his mouth were chapped and his face was scarred with sunburn.

Not only Qingniu is like this, but He Xiang and Zhao Xiuzhu are not much better.

Because of their concern for the people of Kaiyang County, several people took shortcuts along the way.

There was not enough silver to carry the carriage, so he could only rely on a pair of legs to trek on the road between Kaiyang and Fuzhou.

Zhao Xiuzhu took out the map, observed it, and then said:

"It's coming, it's coming! Hold on for half a day, and you will be able to reach Fuzhou."

"The road ahead will be much easier!"

Hearing this, Qingniu's face showed a relieved smile: "Great!"

On the other side, He Xiang suddenly frowned, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

"He Xiang! He Xiang!"

Before losing consciousness, He Xiang heard Zhao Xiuzhu's voice calling for him, and the steps running towards him.

It's late afternoon.

He Xiang woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a tired Zhao Xiuzhu taking a pestle napping beside him.

"Brother Zhao, how long have I been asleep?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuzhu hurriedly looked at He Xiang: "Brother He, you have finally woken up! You've slept for a long time!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xiuzhu took out the water bladder from his arms and said, "Quick, drink a little more."

"You had heat stroke before, but you didn't tell us."

"Halfway through, we fainted and fell to the ground, which scared the two of us."

Hearing this, He Xiang suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What about the green cow? Where is he?"

Zhao Xiuzhu pointed to the dense forest road in front of him:

"He went hunting and looking for firewood."

Speaking of which, Zhao Xiuzhu found Qingniu to accompany him, which was really the wisest choice along the way.

He and Qingniu are both weak scholars.

Along the way, if it weren't for the shock of the green ox with a big waist and a thick waist, I am afraid that I would have been robbed halfway.

Moreover, the ability of green cattle to survive in the wild is also very strong.

If you don't meet a populated place or inn along the way.

When it was necessary to sleep in the wilderness, it was always the green cow that stood up.

Find a place to build shelter, find water, and hunt some critters.

If there is no green cow, the two of them will be ten times more difficult on the way than now.

Zhao Xiuzhu told Zheng Yuan that since he fainted, the three of them hadn't moved forward far.

Instead, the green ox found a shady place on its back and treated it first.

And the treatment is very simple.

Heat stroke is not an incurable disease, and if it is not severe, it can even make people wake up by pinching people.

But for He Xiang, this trick obviously didn't work.

After nearly half a month of trekking, at the same time, he was also worried about some things in his heart, which made He Xiangxin haggard.

It happened to be heat stroke, and he collapsed all at once.

If it weren't for Zhao Xiuzhu's careful care, it would have been matched with the pill given by Qin Fan when he set off.

I'm afraid I'm going to pull down the root of the disease this time.

While the two were talking, Qingniu returned.

He also carried two rabbits in his hands.

"Mr. Ho, you're finally awake!"

Qingniu was also relieved.

God knows how worried Qingniu was at the moment He Xiang fell.

Because he knew that He Xiang and Zhao Xiuzhu in front of him were working hard for the people of Kaiyang County.

And since he promised to escort them to Fuzhou, he must do his duty.

Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the seven taels of silver offered by Lord Zhao?

How can you be worthy of those villagers who were starving in Kaiyang County?

He Xiang also pulled out a smile and said:

"But thanks to the two of you for taking care of you."

Qingniu shook his head: "Mr. He's trip is for the people of Kaiyang, and I should do it."

As he spoke, he skillfully set up the iron pot, boiled water, peeled the skin, and removed the internal organs.

Then cut the rabbit into pieces and pour it into the pot.

In this way, you can get a simple pot of rabbit soup in less than half an hour.

It's just that there is no way to pursue this taste.

Whenever this time, Zhao Xiuzhu always remembered that in Wannian County, in the master's courtyard.

Several of their brothers and sisters scrambled for the food cooked by their sister.

Once, Shi Niang burned a pot of spicy rabbit head, and the taste was really amazing......

While retracting his thoughts, Zhao Xiuzhu collected his saliva.

I don't know how Master and Master are doing now.

His two brothers are doing well.

As an official in one place, I don't know if I have encountered any difficulties.

Sorrow accompanied the galaxy into a dream.

The next day, Zhao Xiuzhu continued to embark on the journey with the recovered He Xiang and Qingniu.

It only takes half a day's trek to reach Fuzhou.

At this time, He Xiang couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Zhao, why did you choose Fuzhou? But is there any way to persuade the officials of Fuzhou to lend us some grain and grass?"

When Zhao Xiuzhu heard this, he said, "Choosing Fuzhou naturally has the benefits of Fuzhou."

"Is there any way to do it...... You'll know when the time comes."

It's not that Zhao Xiuzhu is playing dumb riddles, but this method is a bit like a white wolf with empty gloves, and I'm really embarrassed to say it at this time.

But there is no way not to do it.

Kaiyang County wants silver but no silver, and there is no product if it wants a product.

Take the head to negotiate with Fuzhou about borrowing grain?

Only such an empty glove white wolf can have such a glimmer of opportunity!

After listening to Zhao Xiuzhu's words, He Xiang could only wait and see.

However, he trusts Zhao Xiuzhu very much.

You must know that at the tribal camp, if you hadn't listened to Zhao Xiuzhu's words and communicated with the chief.

The three of them are afraid that they have been boiled and sacrificed to the locust god a long time ago.

Can you still live to ask Fuzhou for food?

The trio continued their trek.

About noon, the three of them finally entered the city.

"Lord Zhao, are we going to the government now?" Qingniu asked.

"No! We're not going to the government." Zhao Xiuzhu shook his head and denied it.

Hearing this, Qingniu couldn't help but be stunned.

If you come to borrow grain and don't look for the government, who are you going to look for?

He Xiang also cast his puzzled gaze on Zhao Xiuzhu.

I saw Zhao Xiuzhu slowly speak:

"We don't look for the government, we look for the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce!"

The Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce is an alliance formed by Fuzhou businessmen.

The role of the chamber of commerce is many, such as dealing with various business disputes for merchants, such as acting as an intermediary to guarantee some businessmen who are not familiar with each other and do not know each other.

Another example is to uphold justice for businessmen and cooperate with the government.

All in all, the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce is a big organization, and there are many super-rich businessmen involved in it.
