Fight the Giants

  Chapter 675 A Ship of Salt

  This time there was a big storm in Hangzhou Prefecture, and the newspapers alone said that 30,000 people were drowned. This number is probably still small.

   Zhang Yuning has so many shops in Zhejiang, so many managers, can he be spared?

  Even if the stewards are spared, how can these people’s families be fine? Zhang Yuning, as the owner, can you not express it? Can it make the people below chill?

   Even if they survived well, they fled to high places when the water came, but when the plague came, would the remaining people be spared?

  Can she, Zhang Yuning, not get hurt?

  Little Wu's sister-in-law sighed after hearing this: "My dear, it seems that this shop is more profitable, and this accident has caused a lot of compensation."

   "That's not true," Xiao Wu agreed, "This time it's just compensation for the funeral pensions of the guys. She is afraid that she will die of poverty."

"Tsk tsk, I also said that next time I have time to sit with her and ask her for advice on business. Or where there is a shop that makes money, I will also lead us into a share and earn some small money to spend. It seems that she I don’t know when it will slow down.”

  The aunt and sister-in-law gloated, making Xiao Wu's mother frown.

   "Everyone has the ability to open so many shops and raise the livelihood of so many people, you will only play lip service here!"

  Xiao Wu's sister-in-law lowered her head, but Xiao Wu pretended not to hear.

  Xiao Wu's old lady had a headache.

He said to Xiao Wu earnestly and earnestly: "Your surname is not Wu anymore, your surname is Zhang now! You must know the truth that if one prospers all prospers, one loses all. If she doesn't get well, what good will you do? You should hope that the Duke of the country will become more and more The emperor's heart is put to good use, and the eldest son and sister Ning will live more and more comfortably, your third wife, your mother and son can have a good life in the mansion!"

  For this little daughter with high eyesight and low hands, she spoke earnestly and said a few words.

  Xiao Wu's impatient: "Mother, don't talk about it, every time I go home, you just talk about it, I don't have a good time going back to my mother's house."

   Get up and prepare to go home.

  Xiao Wu's mother is looking forward to her daughter returning to her mother's house. Seeing that her daughter is unhappy, she feels uncomfortable.

Followed out, comforted: "Your father and I, and your brothers and sisters-in-law, all remember your love, and when we go back, we will tell the second wife and sister Ning about our family's gratitude. Come back, if you get it next time Kong will come back and bring Brother Qian back, your father misses him."

   "Understood." Only then did Xiao Wu softly agree, and left her natal home.

  Going back to the mansion, I saw Hou Shi and Huo Xi giving orders to the servants in the front yard, thought for a while, and walked over.

   "Third Aunt came back from her mother's house?"

  Although Huo Xi didn't like her stinginess, as a junior, she still greeted her elders first.

Xiao Wu nodded with a smile, and said to Hou and Huo Xi: "My natal family asked me to thank you. It is said that the family sent people to line up at the grain store to go to the salt store, but they didn't buy much, not even medicinal materials. Said that thanks to my good marriage, I followed suit."

  Xiao Wu, Hou Shi and Huo Xi exchanged a few words, and then went back to the yard.

  Mr. Hou and Huo Xi looked at each other, feeling that Mrs. Wu was acting weird today.

   didn't care, and the two discussed sending some things to some tribesmen who had difficulties in life.

  The next day, Huo Xi received a boatload of salt. Really a boatload of salt!

  Huo Xi was shocked.

  It was personally escorted by Li Neng.

   "My old man, the master and the young master personally ordered it. I am afraid that the eldest lady is short of salt."

   This ship of salt looks a little scary, but the Duke’s family has a big business, a lot of clansmen, a lot of relatives, and a lot of good friends. I’m afraid that if you share one point, the family will not lose much.

  As soon as the salt warehouse in Huaian was soaked in water, the price of salt rose immediately, but in just a few days, it rose several times. Many salt merchants don't go out when they have salt at home, and they hoard their goods.

  The young master immediately thought of Miss Zhang in the capital.

   He also said that he would bring a boatload of salt in person.

   It was the old man and the old man who ordered him to be escorted.

"Thank you so much! You don't know that even at the foot of the imperial city, the emperor issued an imperial order to stabilize the price of salt, but the price of salt is still high, and the salt store is still out of stock. Before that, my family's servants also lined up to buy salt."

  Although she bought enough salt early in the morning at a high price, many clansmen, in-laws, and families of close friends didn’t realize it, and they are all queuing outside now. Some even came to the door to borrow some.

  The government has to borrow. If you borrow this one, there will be no count.

   Li Neng breathed a sigh of relief. He also said that the Duke's Mansion is such a big family, how can they not have any skills? Will you be short of salt?

   Now seeing the gratitude on Miss Zhang's face, he felt that it was worthwhile for him to travel all the way.

  Huo Xi asked him the date of departure again, and knowing that the news of the epidemic had not yet come when he left, he told him the news in the imperial palace newspaper.

   "Director Li, go back quickly, let the mansion also make some preparations, your side is facing the sea, I'm afraid that many people will take refuge by sea. The mansion should keep a close eye on the gate."

   Li Neng was shocked when he heard it. Epidemics have appeared in various places along the coast?

  God!

   "Okay, I'll go back right away! I will tell my young master to go to the north and other places to buy more medicinal materials. If there is a need in the family, please send us a letter."

   "Okay. Be careful all the way."

  Huo Xi specially gave him a generous gift, and prepared gifts for all the masters of the palace family, and sent him away.

   He also called the Hou clan, called several clan elders, and distributed some salt to the clansmen.

  The in-laws and good friends also gave some, and the guys in the shop also got a share.

   In this way, there were still a lot left, and some were evened out and sent to the shop to sell some at a cheap price, but they were looted by everyone. It also drove a wave of shop business and boosted the morale of the shop that has been sluggish recently.

  The rest are hoarded.

   A few days later, Yang Fu and the others rushed back as soon as they received Huo Xi's letter. Zhu Zhongquan and Shen Qianzhong, who were only sent to Ningbo, were nowhere to be seen.

  Everyone is worried.

   "Fortunately, we walked fast," Yang Fu said with lingering fear.

  He was sent to Hangzhou by Huo Xi, and this time the impact on Hangzhou City is not small.

   "We just saw the people you sent, and we didn't have time to clean up. As soon as we left, we saw that all the city gates were tightly closed. We can only go in and out."

  If he took a step slower, he might not even be able to come out.

  Huo Xi nodded. Afraid of such a situation, he hurriedly sent someone to call them back.

  From ancient times to the present, when a disease occurs, the first thing to do is the "separation method".

  "People who are sick, they should leave empty houses to buy medicine." That is to say, the government distributes free medicine to the victims of disasters, provides medical treatment and treatment services, and at the same time, specially vacates empty houses to house patients. This method has been inherited from generation to generation.

  The imperial court and government offices in various places will use temples and open spaces to set up "patient workshops" to treat patients with epidemic diseases.

  The isolation method is often adopted for the public. The imperial court and various government offices will block all access roads in the ward and send soldiers to guard them. Then send the imperial physician and recruit doctors from all over the country to the ward for treatment.

  In this case, only entry and no exit are allowed.

  Huo Xi nodded to show that he could imagine such a scene, "How are the management guys, is everything fine at home?"

   I lay in bed for a whole day, and now it is 19:39 on the 27th, only to find out that the second update was blocked yesterday~ Sorry, it seems that many things cannot be written
