Li Yu rented a room not far from the "Li Mansion" as a temporary residence, which had all the facilities, and at night, Li Juan served He Qi lying on the bed, talking privately, Brother Xun and Qian Xuan came to visit.

Brother three and a half didn't see each other, it was not long, it was not short, there was a lot to say, Li Juan went out with interest, Qian Xuan sat at the head of the bed, Brother Xun opened a crack by the window, and stood on the side and smoked slowly.

Qian Xuan briefly talked about the affairs of Beiping, and now the newspapers in Beiping are all talking about "re-Confucius", and Kang Shi is particularly active, and he also united a group of old gentlemen to establish "Confucianism", and the vernacular was forced to terminate at the beginning, but anyone who uses the vernacular must be dealt with and invited to tea.

Brother Xun didn't say a word, sucked one after another, Qian Xuan chattered, scolded the ancestors of Master Kang for a long time, and suddenly said: "Cheng Zhongpu They are hard, continue to implement the plan, I see that in the latest issue of "New Youth", they are still criticizing Confucianism, especially scolding Kang Lao, it is really relieving, do you think we can resubmit "New Young"? ”

He Qi thought carefully: "No, our roots are in Beiping, so don't act rashly for the time being." ”

Qian Xuan didn't give up, and said, "What about the pseudonym?" ”

Brother Xun persuaded with kind words: "As soon as your article came out, I knew that you wrote it, I can see it, and others can naturally see it." Deqian, it's not like me and Yubai, your wife and children are in Beiping, saying that it is controlled, but in fact it is in Xingwen Prison, at such a juncture, you must not be reckless. ”

Qian Xuan said: "If this is the case, I will immediately go back to Beiping to move my wife and children to Shanghai, and relieve my worries." ”

Brother Xun was afraid that Qian Xuan would fall on his head, so he really went back to Beiping, frowned and said: "We are in Beiping, we have been stared at for a long time, we can come to Shanghai under the pretext of Yubai getting married, you go back to pick up your family to come to Shanghai now, what excuse do you want to use?" Now that the war in the southwest is tight, and Beiping is being controlled more and more strictly, don't think about it when you go back. ”

Qian Xuan's eyes widened, and he said indignantly: "Are we just watching like this? Do nothing? ”

Brother Xun was speechless, spitting out a cigarette into the night.

According to the history books, Lao Yuan was in front of the emperor for 80 days, He Qi pinched his fingers, and Lao Yuan didn't have a few months to live, so he said: "What's the hurry?" The wind in Beiping will soon blow, and won't it be enough to go back then? ”

Qian Xuan's eyes were cold: "Who knows how long the wind will blow in Beiping?" I think you can't wait to lie down in the gentle township, and you can't miss it. ”

He Qi knew that Qian Xuan was angry, and he didn't care: "In the war in the southwest, the northern army can be defeated." ”

Qian Xuan was even more disdainful: "I'm afraid you don't know, the second innovation, the Southern Army's Northern Expedition, was beaten by the Northern Army and lost its armor, although the current Northern Army is temporarily defeated, but in the long run, the Northern Army is more likely to win." ”

He Qi analyzed at a glance: "I don't think so, during the second innovation, Lao Yuan's three major generals were all made great efforts, but now Lao Duan is playing chess at home all day long, and he doesn't hear anything, Lao Fengwo does not move in Su Province, Wang Shizhen is confined to the staff department, and he is not allowed to go to the front line. Look at it again, Curry in Beiping, at this moment, I am afraid that the rats will have to cry, and the salaries of many public officials have not been received for almost a year. The four people compensated, and the loans of the countries were not repaid when they were due, even if Liang Shiyi had great ability, I am afraid that it would be difficult to show it. Not to mention these, just say that last year, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, northern Hebei, and Zhili all suffered from drought, and in the spring of this year, the grain stock was also insufficient, and the grain of the northern army was transferred from the south and northeast. ”

"In a war, with the same equipment, it is not about the number of people, but about the economy. As soon as the war began, grain prices rose gradually, and the four rice markets in the south of the Yangtze River and Shashi had stopped being affected by the war, and the grain merchants in Jing and Hunan had to move to Jiujiang, Jiuzi, and Wuxi in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. I have heard that there are already those who are bold enough to unite and stock up on hard currency grain, so as to raise the price of grain and make the country rich. In this way, inflation will be exacerbated, and the money in the hands of the people will buy less things, but in normal years, they will suffer from man-made disasters, and the first thing to scold at that time is the north. ”

The more Brother Xun listened, the more believable he became, extinguished his cigarette, and asked, "Maybe it is expected, how long will it take?" ”

He Qi pondered: "I can't say how to prepare, but according to the current trend, it won't take more than three months." ”

Qian Xuan scolded and said, ", you have to wait for three months, it's better to die early." ”

was really scolded by Qian Xuan, Lao Yuan really didn't live long, but He Qi couldn't say it clearly, leaned on the bedside and looked at Brother Xun, and they were a lot more relieved, and finally persuaded Qian Xuan, a hot-blooded young man who was very easy to get on.

Qian Xuan continued: "You just said that there are people in the Shanghai market who want to make high grain prices and make it difficult for the country to make money, who wants to do this 'lack of morality'?" ”

He Qi didn't answer, but asked mysteriously: "Deqian, do you really know about the affairs of the Wanwan family?" ”

Qian Xuan frowned: "Of course it's clear, I know everything about Lao Li." ”

Brother Xun lit another cigarette, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

Qian Xuan didn't plan to hide it, he told Li Yu's family history, He Qi was mentally prepared, Brother Xun was shocked at first glance, I really didn't expect it, Li Yu looked kind and angry on the outside, and he was also a ruthless character who dared to cut people with a knife.

Qian Xuan realized something, stared at He Qi and said: "Let me tell you, Lao Li is Lao Li, Wanwan has never been involved in these things, otherwise, she would not be a girl and would not go to Beiping to study alone." The reason why I introduced you to you is that I think you are a good match for the talented woman who is a good match, and you will live in Beiping in the future, and you will have nothing to do with Shanghai. That is to say, a thousand, a thousand, Lao Li couldn't help it at that time, if he didn't have a little unbearable, in the boundary of Shanghai, the bones that had been eaten a long time ago would be gone. Don't think about it! ”

Brother Xun couldn't help but look at He Qi.

He Qi was puzzled: "I asked Wanwan, and Wanwan said that you don't know!" So you know? ”

"What do I say about her dad as a girl? Naturally, she thought I didn't know. Qian Xuan snorted, glanced at her eyes and said: "Wanwan is a good girl, with both talent and beauty, and her key ideas are avant-garde, which is just right for you, this is what I like." He Yubai, marry Wanwan, you can steal the fun. If you marry a woman who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out of the house, and nests a woman in the family all day long, he doesn't understand what you say, just like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which will never meet, then you will know that an inappropriate marriage is the most boring thing in the world. ”

Brother Xun was shocked, and the smoke in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.

Seeing He Qi's mediocre reaction and the absence of Baoshan without knowing it, Qian Xuan immediately became envious, jealous and hateful, and said, "He Yubai, your luck is really good." You said before that I was a bottle of water that didn't shake, half a bottle of water swayed, I said that you are a half-level, you don't know anything about Chinese studies, and you have to pick out words when you read a slightly difficult article, just like that, you can still talk and laugh with our gang every day, I wondered, how did you get in? ”

He Qi said cheekily: "I got in openly." ”

Qian Xuan was angry and continued to count: "Hmph." Are you right? Okay, let's continue to break and pull, you have been wandering abroad for half a lifetime, no achievements, as soon as you return to China, you opened the most famous chess hall in Beiping, others say that this chess hall is the credit of you He Yubai, in fact, the big head behind it is me and Yu Cai, sometimes I am scolded by you for the blood, I dare not let go of a fart. You haven't been married for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of people chasing behind your buttocks, and there is no shortage of sons from rich and powerful families, which point is not as good as you? As a result, the two of you are Wang Ba looking at mung beans - the eyes are right, and you are about to get married in a blink of an eye, is this really unreasonable? I feel aggrieved for the sons and daughters of those big families. However, you still look reluctant, making it look like you are being bent by Wanwan, who is this forgiving? ”

Qian Xuan's short words made it clear what He Qi had encountered since he came to this era, but this guy said that He Qi encountered bad things, Qian Xuan didn't talk about it, He Qi hammered it over, and rolled his eyes: "I'm all lucky, when I'm not unlucky?" When I just returned to China, I was robbed in Pingjin and almost sold in Beiping, I'm afraid I forgot about it? ”

Speaking from the side, Li Juan is really the daughter of the black boss, He Qi has been lying on the same bed with Li Juan in his arms, if he regrets the marriage at this time, he will regret the marriage proposed in the morning, I am afraid that it will be in the Huangpu River at night.

However, these words were just what He Qi was thinking about, and he scolded Qian Xuan again: "I don't have good words in your mouth, the more I say it, the more outrageous it becomes, if I am not happy, can I still lie here and listen to you chatter?" If I don't think about love, I still want to try to get you to the Shanghai market to avoid the limelight? ”

"You wrote articles in Beiping, wrote hard, scolded people and scolded people, but the account was all on my head, Zhang Houde, Lin Qinnan, and the person surnamed Kang grabbed me and scolded me, why didn't you say it?"

"Don't you know why I can't move my neck? Anyway, lying in the hospital, it was me He Qi who almost burped, and it wasn't you Qian Xuan? ”

Compared with spraying people, Qian Xuan is obviously not an opponent, just this short period of kung fu, He Qi's mouth is like a machine gun, and when he doesn't stop, Qian Xuan, who sprays, doubts life.

Brother Xun smoked a cigarette, watched the play happily on the side, didn't say a word, and scolded Qian Xuan in his heart for not having eyesight, He Qi is not good at writing articles, but he is really good at spraying people in person.

Qian Xuan was sprayed with self-sufficiency, and He Qi was unforgiving, and then said before: "The old man went out in the afternoon, and he hasn't come back yet, saying that the Song and Kong families invited each other to discuss something, I won't say anything below, you probably guessed it." ”

Brother Xun said suspiciously: "They want to cooperate with high food prices and secretly help the Southern Army?" ”

He Qi sneered: "Jokes, their only purpose is to make money." I'll give you an account, Shanghai has a population of more than 1 million, and all the grain depends on foreign transfers, and the grain is calculated at least 100,000 catties a day, or nearly 4 million catties a month, and now the grain price is two-thirds higher, and if it continues to rise twice on the basis of the second time and lasts for three months, the money earned will be an astronomical amount. People don't want money, but they can't go without food, and in this wave, the savings of families with a little bit of family background in Shanghai have to be harvested. As soon as the war stopped, the autumn grain harvest came up, and the currency contracted, which was another frightening benefit. ”

"Tell me now, are they going to help the Southern Army fight the Northern Army, or is it for their own interests?"

Qian Xuan's back was cold when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it: "How dare they? ”

"Of course they dare. The foreigner banks lend money at high interest rates, and they use the money to buy grain and store grain on the spot in the upstream Jiuzi, and several major gangs in Shanghai emptied the grain stores in the world, and then were responsible for selling high-priced grain. This is a top-down chain of interests, all parties will benefit, who would dare to jump out and oppose it? ”

"At this time, whoever dares to speak against will be set on fire?"
