In a hall, Huang Wenjin sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, and on the chairs on both sides sat the commanders and soldiers of each flag.

Huang Wenjin said to everyone: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hinterland of Hangjia Lake, bordering Jiangsu and the northeast of Zhejiang. It is famous as "the land of fish and rice, the house of silk". Nowadays, the fertile land is barren, many silk factories are closed, many people go to empty buildings, and the whole town is so deserted that ghosts have to come out. Fortunately, most of the houses are still there, and they can be used as camps for various departments to avoid the bodies of our soldiers. However, where did we come from if we had to eat and clothe, and we didn't pay taxes locally? How do we survive? You can't drink the northwest wind. Therefore, it is imperative to encourage the local people to resume production, business, and life. In addition, the big families here have good intentions, and the chaff soup kitchen and the "aid station" are their good deeds. Therefore, in the future, our department will not disturb the people or plunder money, so as to stabilize local law and order and enforce military discipline.

The Taiping army occupied Nanxun, which was once crowded with people on the streets, but the scene of prosperity became a dead city.

Most of the original large families have moved to Shanghai. Since, some bases are still in Nanxun, it is inevitable that some men sometimes quietly return to Nanxun, but it is only at night. Liu Yong is the same, in addition to the silk factory still has some things to deal with, the "aid station" also has some things to deal with.

The night was already deep, there was no moon in the sky, only a few stars blinking weakly, and on the street, only a few street lamps were dim and dim like ghost fires. Not far away, there was a burst of dog barking.

Liu Yong touched the darkness, and came to the "aid station" with one foot high and one foot low.

Liu Yong knocked on the door twice lightly.

Inside softly asked: Who?

Liu Yong said softly: I, Liu Dongjia.

As soon as she heard that it was Liu Dong's house, Fang Xiuzhen immediately got up and opened the door and let Liu Yong enter the house.

Fang Xiuzhen didn't dare to turn on the light, just lit a candle, and when she saw Liu Yong, she said: "Boss, why did you come here at this time?"

Liu Yong said: It's inconvenient during the day, so it's better to come over at night to be more peaceful. There is nothing to do with the main look at the "aid station".

Fang Xiuzhen said: There is no major event here, but recently the "spear" has come, and there are many fewer people here.

Liu Yong said: Oh, that's it.

Fang Xiuzhen said worriedly: There is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not?

Liu Yong said: What is there not to say?

Fang Xiuzhen said: A few days ago, a few "spears" came here, and I told them that Nanxun Town is full of good people, and I hope they will not hurt the local people, and if they want to kill me, they will kill me. The people in Nanxun Town saved me, and I want to protect the people in Nanxun Town.

When Liu Yong heard this, he was very moved, stood up and said: On behalf of the people of Nanxun Town, thank you.

Fang Xiuzhen said again: There are still ......

Liu Yong anxiously asked: What else?

Fang Xiuzhen said: You are my benefactor, I can't hide it, my dog is also working in the "spear", and he met me here by chance a few days ago.

When Liu Yong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: You recognize each other?

Fang Xiuzhen nodded slightly.

Liu Yong was a little nervous at first, but after a while, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Liu Yong asked again: How many people know about your noble son?

Fang Xiuzhen said: Basically no one knows.

Liu Yong said solemnly: No matter who you are in front of, don't mention this matter to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Fang Xiuzhen said repeatedly: I know, I know.

The sky is almost dawn, Liu Yong said goodbye to Fang Xiuzhen, be careful on the road.

Liu Yong quietly came to Yuxiu Lane and pretended to be a passerby to walk past Liu's Mansion, only to see that the gate of Liu's Mansion was closed, not like someone had entered.

They went around the back door and climbed over the low wall to enter.

The back garden was silent, and Liu Yong was secretly rejoicing, but suddenly saw a person dressed as a leader of the Taiping Army coming out of the study, and asked: Who? Where did the thief come from? Dare to climb over the wall and steal.

Liu Yong's legs were weak and he almost fell.

He forced his composure and arched his hand: Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is my relative's house, I'll help them get something.

The leader threw the spear in his hand to the ground and asked, "Are you a relative of the Liu family?" What is your name?

Liu ...... Liu Qi. Liu Yong reported a name in a panic.

The leader asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Yong thought badly, the Taiping army had already figured out his situation clearly, and he regretted that he should not risk coming back.

Seeing that Liu Yong didn't speak, the leader pointed the tip of his gun at Liu Yong and shouted: Are you a spy of the Qing army? Someone came, and tied him up.

I don't know where a few small soldiers rushed out, and they tied Liu Yong up with three strokes and two strokes.

Liu Yong thought to himself, this life is going to be explained here. The leader commanded the soldier: Take him to the king of block.

Liu Yong was shocked, his home had become the command post of Huang Wenjin, the king of blockage?

Those Taiping soldiers escorted Liu Yong to the flower hall familiarly, and reported to the blocking king who was drinking: Report to the blocking king, and catch a spy of the Qing army!

King Plug was slightly drunk, with a pair of Danfeng eyes on his square face, not angry and arrogant.

The king didn't look at Liu Yong, and played with the wine glass in his hand and said: Since he is a clear dog spy, he cut it and threw it at the bridge.

Liu Yong didn't care much at this time, and shouted: I'm Liu Yong, I'm Liu Yong, this is my home!

King Blockade turned his head and frowned: What did you say?

Liu Yong bowed his head and said: I am really Liu Yong, the boss of Liu Hengshun Silk Company.

King Block couldn't help but laugh "hahaha": Okay, you Liu Yong, you say, why did our Taiping Army come and you all ran away? Are you all accomplices of Qinggou?

Liu Yong's head shook like a rattle, and he said repeatedly: No, no, no, the king, we ordinary people are timid and afraid of war, and when we see swords and guns flying and blood flowing like rivers, don't we just run away?

Huang Wenjin, the king of blocking, got up, pulled Liu Yong up from the ground, and said: What are you afraid of? What's so scary? Everywhere our Taiping army went, the Qing dogs all fled. Now Nanxun is taken over by us, and it is so peaceful that there is not even a single little thief.

Liu Yong said in a trembling voice: Yes, yes, the king is reasonable.

Huang Wenjin nodded and said, "Then you ran the soup kitchen and the 'aid station'?"

Liu Yong lowered his head and said: Good people are just proposals, money and things are the power of the public. It is the great righteousness of our nation to help the suffering, and it should be.

Huang Wenjin nodded again. Said a word: loosen the tie!

Several soldiers untied Liu Yong.

Huang Wenjin had a rare smile on his face. Then he said: Now, our department is now stationed in Nanxun, and our soldiers are still short of food, I don't know if Master Liu has a good solution to it?

Liu Yong said: In Xia Liangmin, the master does not dare to be. Your army is here to ensure the safety of one side, the soldiers are hungry, and the good people are unbearable. Please be relieved, the king, and the good people will go and prepare.

Huang Wenjin also said: Master Liu can inform his father and fellow villagers that he can return to normal life without worrying about being hurt by my subordinates.

Liu Yong waved his hands and said: King Xie. The good people went to collect food. Rest assured, the king, that good people are trustworthy.

Huang Wenjin smiled and said: You don't dare.

Liu Yong said goodbye and Huang Wenjin came out.

Seeing that Liu Yong was caught by the 'spear', his hair came out undamaged, and some bold people also came out to inquire.

Liu Yong smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay. Everyone lives normally. Do what should be done, and open a store when you should open a store.

Liu Yong hurriedly came to the house of the boss of 'Sheng Ji' Mi Xingdong.

Due to the chaos of war, there is basically no one in Nanxun Town, and Boss Dong is worried about hoarding rice at relatives' houses in the countryside.

Seeing Liu Yong coming in, Boss Dong got up to greet him.

Boss Dong said: Boss Liu came to the cold house, I don't know what to do?

Liu Yong said: I don't know how Boss Dong's rice market has been recently, and is there any inventory?

Boss Dong knew that Liu Yong was not only in the silk business, but also in other businesses. He mistakenly believed that Liu Yong had come to sell rice. Immediately said: Boss Liu, they are all villagers in the township, I don't hide it, in this world, rice has no price, sell it to ghosts, I am worried, there are 20,000 catties of rice if you don't sell, it will be moldy after a while, then it is worthless.

Liu Yong smiled and said: I am here for this matter. Now the Taiping army has no rice in Nanxun.

When Boss Dong heard that the Taiping Army wanted rice, he hurriedly shook his hand. Say: If you can't commit it, you can't do it, you can't sell rice to 'spears', don't say if you can't get money, 'stealing chickens doesn't eat rice'. If you can't get it, you won't be dead.

Liu Yong smiled and said: You don't have to worry about this, I bought the rice, and I paid for the money.

Boss Dong said: Since Boss Liu said so, it couldn't be better, I still have 20,000 catties of rice in stock, and I don't want to make money, so the original price will be given to you.

The two discussed stopping, and the goods were delivered and paid in the afternoon.

Liu Yong said goodbye to Boss Dong and went directly to the Taiping Army's station.

Liu Yong said to Huang Baojin: 20,000 catties of rice will arrive in the afternoon.

Huang Wenjin said in surprise: Boss Liu is so efficient, I really admire.

Liu Yong smiled and said: It was just an accident.

Huang Wenjin said: After the order of Nanxun is restored, there will be labor for Boss Liu. If you have the opportunity, please ask Boss Liu to introduce other people in Nanxun to conspire with Nanxun to prosper in Nanxun.

Liu Yong said: Definitely.
