Under the leadership of the shopkeeper Qi, Chen Changsheng carried Rong Shili to a house.

It's a small house, mainly clean, and it's also very safe here, and no one makes trouble.

"I'm tired of being in charge."

Shopkeeper Qi smiled: "Don't bother, don't bother." ”

Chen Changsheng settled Rong Shili, this guy is quite able to sleep, and he hasn't woken up yet.

The shopkeeper Qi said: "That gentleman will rest for a while, and then send someone to the restaurant to buy some food, and then talk about eating first." ”

Chen Changsheng raised his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Qi, this is not necessary, Chen has already eaten when he comes, and he can't eat more." ”

The shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "If you want to eat, you want to eat." ”

He was afraid that there would be no good hospitality, and he was even more afraid that Chen Changsheng would run away like this.

Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly, so he could talk about it, so he pushed down the matter of eating.

You can't always take advantage of others.

Shopkeeper Qi agreed, but hurriedly went out again, seeing that he didn't seem to take Chen Changsheng's words to heart, and in a blink of an eye, he asked someone to go to the restaurant to serve food.

Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

He turned his head to look at the horizon.

When he came back to his senses, he took out a pen and paper.

He thought he would have to write a letter of greetings.

In the letter, he asked how Miss Yun was doing, whether she was well, whether she had encountered any difficulties, and secondly, whether the war had affected her.

After writing the letter, Chen Changsheng carefully folded it.

When the shopkeeper returned from Qi, he brought a food box.

A total of five dishes.

Chen Changsheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "When the shopkeeper Qi left before, he only agreed to Chen and said that he would not go to buy vegetables. ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "Isn't this thinking about saving for Mr. Supper at night?" ”

Chen Changsheng sighed helplessly and said, "Shopkeeper Qi is really polite. ”

"You're welcome, sir."

As he was talking, he heard a voice coming.

"So fragrant?"

Chen Changsheng turned his head.

saw that Rong Shili had woken up, and came out smelling the smell of food.

Chen Changsheng said: "You are so good at waking up. ”

Rong Shili smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. ”

He looked at the shopkeeper Qi on the side again, "This is ......"

The shopkeeper of Qi arched his hand and said: "Below is the shopkeeper of the Tang family of Haoyue City. ”

Rong Shili arched his hand and said: "Old man Rongli, I never thought that he was the shopkeeper of the Tang family firm in person, and he looked up to him for a long time. ”

Shopkeeper Qi nodded and smiled.

Rong Shili immediately asked: "But I don't know Hong Wan, what happened to Shopkeeper Hong now?" In his early years, Rong played a chess game with Yu Yu by the lake, but unfortunately there was chaos later, and the shopkeeper Hong returned to the south and never saw him again. ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Qi paused and said: "Rest assured, the shopkeeper Hong has already returned to his hometown, because he is old, he no longer holds the position of the shopkeeper, and now he is doing things in the Dongjiafu and doing some loose work." ”

After hearing this, Rong Shili said: "That's good, that's good......"

Several people sat down to eat.

Although the shopkeeper Qi can't eat, he also has to sit down and eat two bites, do the friendship of the landlord, and not make the guests embarrassed.

Chen Changsheng said: "The trading house even went to the northwest? ”

Qi shopkeeper said: "In the early years, there was indeed there, but the business in the northwest was only opened up later, but it was only two years after it was opened, the world changed abruptly, and several shopkeepers in the northwest also withdrew back, and now there is no business in the northwest, so it is very troublesome to trade, not to mention whether you can make money, whether people can come back alive is a difficult matter." ”

After hearing this, Rong Shili paused and said, "Northwest, it's not so messy. ”

Qi shopkeeper said: "Rong Lao should be a person from the northwest, I am indeed a little offended by this, and I hope to forgive me, but in fact, the situation in the northwest is indeed like this, robbers are rampant on the road, and officers and soldiers often detain goods for public and private purposes, coupled with heavy commercial taxes, so that all of a sudden, a trip is basically a loss, and no one will go again." ”

Rong Shili opened his mouth, but his heart was very uncomfortable, he sighed lightly, looking helpless.

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said: "The business road is not passable, and the economy is also declining, which is still secondary, the northwest terrain is high, and it is eroded by wind and sand and drought all the year round, and some necessities can only be purchased from outside, involving businessmen, but no one is willing to do loss-making business, the problem cannot be solved, and finally it collapses." ”

This is probably one of the reasons for the inextricable chaos in the northwest.

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Mr. is right, the key gaffe is even more serious, the people under King Kang do not understand the importance of the economy at all, in such a situation, they even aggravated it, paid taxes, thinking that they could collect money in this way, and then use it to settle the disaster, but in fact it is completely incomprehensible." ”

Rong Shi thought about it, looked at Chen Changsheng, and asked, "If it's you, what do you think you should do?" ”

Chen Changsheng paused after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What do you ask me to do?" Don't you know what to do, in fact, in Chen's opinion, this matter is not necessarily useless for the people under King Kang, this truth is actually very simple, and no one necessarily can't think of it. ”

"It is very likely that someone used power for personal gain, deliberately doing this, if you guess correctly, the commercial taxes of various cities in the northwest are not the same, some more, some less, not according to the above at all."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Qi said: "What Mr. said is not bad. ”

After hearing this, Rong Shili said: "How dare you! If King Kang knew about this, the end would be particularly tragic. ”

Chen Changsheng smiled: "The premise is that he has to know, don't you understand such a simple truth?" ”

Of course, Rong Shili knew, but he was just angry for a while, and he didn't know where to vent.

He let out a long sigh and fell silent.

"At the end of the day, the problem is with the officials. ”

Chen Changsheng glanced at him, but shook his head and said: "This situation is difficult to save back, because it is not just one person who is rotten, but a group of people, the easiest and fastest way is to overturn all of them and start over, re-enact the law, regain the hearts of the people, and then make the government harmonious, and the business road will be reopened, and the northwest may have a chance to return to stability." ”

Shopkeeper Qi didn't dare to interject, this was not something he dared to answer.

Rong Shili paused for a moment and said, "Is there only such a way?" ”

"Of course, there are other ways." Chen Changsheng said: "Catch a few important people and cut them, kill chickens and respect monkeys, this method works, but it won't last long, and it is easy to cause mutiny, and it will only be more chaotic when the time comes." ”

After hearing this, Rong Shili had mixed feelings, he opened his mouth and said, "Are you really not optimistic about King Kang at all?" ”

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "Don't you understand why, you still think that there is a chance, aren't you deceiving yourself." ”

Rong Shili smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
