Chapter 157 Chapter 039

039 In the event of a disaster, prices soared

The whole journey was calm, and there seemed to be no signs of flooding. Both Nangong and Anxiu breathed a sigh of relief.But they are cursing in their hearts: "Who is so vicious and makes the situation in the east so scary? Looking at it now, it seems that nothing happened in the east!"

The guide told Anxiu that there is the shortest road from Suqu County to Donghai, and it only takes fifteen or six days.Anxiu thought to herself that she could come back in the last forty days.I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.There was nothing to do along the way, so they joked with Zhou Wenzheng.

Zhou Wenzheng is a little smaller than An Xiuruo, very shy.

Anxiu couldn't help wondering why he wanted to go to the south with her, so she asked, "Wenzheng, if you don't want to be a good young master, you will go to Donghai with your sister. What are you doing?"

Zhou Wenzheng's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to answer for a long time.Of course he knew what he was doing for: his father was very disappointed in him, his elder brother looked down on him very much, and the second brother below him didn't think much of him, thinking he was an idiot.Why doesn't he want his father, brother and brother to be proud of him?But he failed and failed to pass the exam, and his family's contempt for him became even stronger.

So he wants to be proud, he wants to change his cowardice and incompetence, business can improve a person's ability to adapt and endure hardship, so Zhou Wenzheng wants to try it.Besides, he admires Anxiu very much in his heart, she is really extraordinary that a woman can support the rice business in Suqu County.Zhou Wen wanted to learn from Anxiu, and going to sea with her was the best way.

"I want to be like Sister An, a businessman praised by everyone!" Zhou Wenzheng said firmly.It was inconvenient for him to tell An Xiu about the family affairs, but he did not hesitate to tell her how much he respected An Xiu.Although he is useless, he also knows what to say to make people happy.

Sure enough, Anxiu laughed when she heard this.After a while, An Xiucai remembered that when he first met him, he said that he liked reading very much. After thinking about it, he asked, "Wenzheng, I remember you once said that you like reading very much. Don't you read now?"

Zhou Wenzheng's expression darkened, he really didn't know how to answer these words, so he could only say: "I won't read it for now, read it again when I have a chance!"

Anxiu patted him on the shoulder: "Wenzheng, don't blame my sister for not listening to you. It's not easy to have something you like in your life. You are soft-tempered and not suitable for being a businessman. You pass the exam and then go to the Yamen Finding an errand is much easier than being a businessman!"

Zhou Wenzheng felt bitter.An Xiu hit the most painful part of his heart, how much he hates doing business, only he knows.If the times are not peaceful, being an official is the best way out, and it is also very honorable.But now that the government is clean and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they can't get much money from being an official. With that little money, they are all poor.The eyes of the common people are the most poisonous, and they don't want to be officials anymore.On the contrary, I feel that doing business is a good way out. A businessman can earn a lot of money and live a luxurious life.

I heard from the old people that during the previous dynasty, businessmen were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs when they went out, and only scholars and officials could sit in sedan chairs, and there were grades.But after the Huo family opened the dynasty, many rules were abolished.The current emperor has even abolished the rank restriction.

Besides, no one in the family is an official, and reading is not the best way out.It's not as good as doing business.

So the Zhou family looked down on scholars, so naturally they didn't want Zhou Wenzheng to study.

"Sister An, I will remember your words, and I will definitely go to study when I have the opportunity in the future!" Zhou Wenzheng smiled slightly, putting away his disappointment.Anxiu had a panoramic view, and felt sorry for the child, feeling that he was a victim of the family.

The Zhou family was in business, so naturally they didn't want their son-in-law to study.But Zhou Wenzheng's elder brother, Zhou Wenxuan, was too strong and suppressed this younger brother severely.Even if Zhou Wenzheng really learned how to do business, so what?At first glance, this child is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person, but he can't beat Zhou Wenxuan.

When Mr. Zhou returns to the west, Zhou Wenxuan will definitely deal with Zhou Wenzheng.So Zhou Wenzheng went to study, instead of conflicting with his brother in career, it was a way out to ease the conflict between brothers.Maybe in the future when Zhou Wenzheng becomes an official, Zhou Wenxuan will still have to curry favor with him.Brothers can live in harmony with each other if they restrain each other.

An Xiu thought, Mr. Zhou might have thought of this kind of thing, but he didn't do it. There are three possibilities: first, he overestimated Zhou Wenzheng's ability, and he felt that if he cultivated it, Zhou Wenzheng's ability would be on par with Zhou Wenxuan; There are two possibilities, underestimating Zhou Wenxuan's cruelty and expecting him to be brotherly.But Anxiu looked on coldly, Zhou Wenxuan was not that kind of person; thirdly, Mr. Zhou overestimated his ability, thinking that he could hold his sons in his hands and prevent them from killing each other.

No matter what the reason is, it's a family matter, An Xiu just thinks about it, and can't point fingers.

"Wenzheng, if you want to study in the future, if you need sister An's help, just ask!" An Xiu laughed.

Zhou Wenzheng nodded gratefully.

Going to the East China Sea, the first three days were safe and sound, and the journey was smooth and calm.But on the fourth day, there were suddenly many homeless people on the road.Anxiu and Nangong's hearts skipped a beat for the haggard faces of those who dragged their families along. The appearance of these people clearly meant that they were starving.

And it was in large numbers, not like individual fleeing from famine.

On the seventh day, there were more and more victims on the road, and starved corpses could be seen everywhere. It became more and more troublesome for Anxiu and the others to rest, and it was almost impossible to find a hotel.They didn't dare to light a fire to make food, so they had to eat some dry food. The escorts were vicious, and these victims did not dare to approach them.Further ahead, the official road was washed away a little, and the ground was covered with mud.

"Boss, let's go back! From what I can see, there is really a waterlogging ahead. After the flooding, there must be a plague!" Nangong suggested to Anxiu, "And the official road has also been washed away!"

Anxiu was very depressed. After preparing so much, she walked halfway and gave up after finding nothing. She was always uneasy.What's more, the people who brought the bodyguards themselves, although these victims were very hungry, they still cared about their lives and didn't dare to take Anxiu's idea.

After thinking about it, Anxiu had no choice but to ask the guards and guide what they meant, whether to go back or go forward.

The head of the bodyguard did not even blink his eyes, and said affirmatively: "The Anton family, if you give us money, you will let us escort you along the way. These are just victims of disasters, and we can still deal with them. We guarantee that the Anton family will be safe. Don't worry. .”

The guide said: "Anton's house, there is a main river in this area. I am afraid that the main river has burst its embankment. After walking for another day, we will be able to leave this main river, and there should be no victims behind."

Anxiu synthesized everyone's opinions, and finally waved his hand: "Since this is the case, let's move on!"

After walking forward for a day, there were indeed fewer victims.Anxiu and the rest of the group were very happy, and felt fortunate that they persisted and did not look back.

But after two days of walking, the number of victims increased again.Anxiu was really going crazy.

The guide was about to go crazy, and said to Anxiu: "An Dong's house, there is also a main river in this area. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the two main rivers have burst their embankments. I am afraid that there will be more victims!"

They have not stayed for a long time to rest, and the hotels and restaurants along the way are closed.The main reason is that these extremely hungry victims will rob them.

It was hard not to be in bed for days, but the worst part was that they were running out of rations.Where to get food next has become a very serious problem.

After walking for several hours, they finally saw a county town. Anxiu and the others were very happy.But there are guards guarding the door, and no idlers are allowed to proceed. "If you want to go there, it's okay, one tael of silver per person!" The chief guard guarding the city gate saw An Xiu and his team, and knew that they were passing businessmen, so he took the opportunity to blackmail them.

"What, why don't you know about the robbery?" the escort head said angrily.

"You want to make trouble? Arrest them all!" The chief guard also said angrily.

Anxiu quickly took out the silver, and simply handed over a nationally accepted silver note with a face value of 50 taels to the chief guard, and said with a smile: "My lord, please calm down, don't be as knowledgeable as us little people. These silvers have deducted our currency. Give the rest to the brothers to drink."

The chief guard's eyes lit up, and he immediately laughed too. He stopped blaming the escort and let Anxiu and the others enter the city.

The guide complained to Anxiu: "Anton's family, what about 50 taels of silver, and you just gave it to them? It's too much of a mistake! It's fine if we don't go to the city!"

An Xiute took a special look at the head of the bodyguard, and said with a soft smile: "It's his territory, we're not familiar with it. We've already quarreled, why don't you give them some sweets, do you really think we can leave? It will cost more money to arrest us on a provocative charge. Just treat it as a small fortune to avoid a big disaster. Everyone remember my words: go out, make money with peace, don't quarrel with anyone!"

The head of the bodyguard immediately blushed, and muttered something, saying that he knew.

"Everyone hasn't slept for several days, and they haven't eaten hot meals. It's definitely not cheap to eat and live in the city, but you don't have to be polite. Eat a good meal and sleep for a day. You don't know when the next time will be. I can eat something!" An Xiu said.

Things in the city are indeed very expensive, even more expensive than Anxiu expected.It's so expensive that Anxiu's flesh hurts, but after thinking about it, my money is all exchanged through supernatural powers, so spend it as it is to promote economic prosperity.

But the hearts of the fellow travelers were terrified, and they admired Anxiu's financial resources even more: an ordinary room cost ten taels of silver a day, and one room was only for three people, and she didn't even bat an eye when she gave the money.

PS: I recommend Baoshan's book: "The Abandoned Wife of a Powerful Rich Family", a woman who can read minds will be invincible.You can find it in my parking space.This is a modern romance essay, which is very beautiful.I heard that there are H-movies, looking forward to their devastation!

The speed of Baofan filling the hole is super fast, but it is a new book issue, so it is slower, but don't be disappointed, everyone, wait until it is on the shelves, let's see her performance!
**********
I recommend another wooden book: "Happy Life in Ancient Times". The mother's family emphasizes business and the husband's family is powerful. The happiness of a daughter of a wealthy family requires detours.Book friends who are used to looking for books on the VIP word count help must know this book, because a wood has been updating the word count No.1 for several months!

Happy Life in Ancient Times is an ancient Chinese poem, with a touch of warmth, making people very comfortable. A certain author has been reading it.I like the clever Yumiao.
