A tall girl in a green blouse who seems to be short of Lin Xi holds hands with Lin Xi, stands on a hill full of wild flowers, and looks at an ordinary town in the distance under the afterglow.
There are smoke curling up in the small town.
Gao Yanan is the most beautiful girl. Looking at the light smoke in the distance, she asked in a worried voice: "Chen feirong's letter to you is very clear. If you can't get in or out, Dade Xiang will not be able to support you by the middle of next month. What's your idea?"
Lin Xi is reluctant to let go of Gao Yanan's hand with one hand, while the other is scratching his head at will.
After dongjingling, he has rarely had such childish movements, but now with Gao Yanan, he is very relaxed, but like a child.
"In fact, whether Dade Xiang is able to reach this point or I have the confidence to let qingluan college survive in Yunqin, it is because I know in my mind that there are more wars and rights struggles than all people in the world. Most of my confidence comes from beyond the world." After scratching his head, Lin Xi said softly.
Gao Yanan frowned and thought quietly.
Lin Xi looked at her good-looking side face and explained softly: "in fact, I never felt that it was the people who could decide how much silver, how much money or an army could win."
"The people of Yunqin are very simple. This kind of simplicity can even change me Before dongjingling, I never thought that I would live or die with a city. But when I saw the soldiers of Yunqin who died with emotion and the ordinary people who knew that they would die and still fought in the city, I changed my mind. Yunqin people love this empire. This love will turn into the most decisive courage. I believe that when most Yunqin people really want to choose, they will make a choice loyal to their hearts. So what I'm betting on is the simplicity of the Yunqin people. What I'm betting on is that Da Dexiang will not fall down after doing so recklessly for them. "
"What if you lose?"
"I really can't. the most important thing is to escape to an emperor who can't find us." Lin Xi looked at the light smoke in the distant town, and he smiled proudly and lost, at least making many people eat a lot of food. "
…… In the Yunqin Empire, there were powerful practitioners, but most of them were ordinary people like Lin Xi's father.
Zhang Qi is just like Lin Xi's father.
He is also a little fat, some balding middle-aged man, usually timid and cautious, friendly, in the southern province of Qingguo Town, running a north-south dry goods shop.
He also has a wife who has read some books, and a son who is very naughty but very clever in his twenties and threes.
When the war in Nanling province was not good, the news of invasion and harassment came from Da Mang's army. He and all the people in the town closed their shops, left their homes and fled to the province in the north of Yunqin.
Some of the dry goods left in the shop have no loss. However, after a flight, the people in the town have become extremely poor, and the business of his shop is naturally extremely poor and unsustainable.
The most unfortunate thing is that his wife and children are all ill. Even if they are just caught in the cold, the minor illness will not get better, but will become more and more serious.
All the relatives and friends that can be found have already been found. Only his cousin's family should be able to provide money and food. However, his cousin is very snobbish at ordinary times. Some people look down on him and want to borrow money and food. How many cold words he has to bear are not said. Whether he can borrow it is still unknown.
If Zhang Qi is in his own business at ordinary times, he will not ask for this cousin even if it is difficult. However, for his wife and children, Zhang Qi has made up his mind. Even if he kneels down at the door of his cousin's house and asks for help, he will also lend money and food to save his life.
But now, he doesn't need to ask this snobbish cousin. He has a bag of heavy white rice in his hand White rice of Dade Xiang.
This bag of white rice is nothing in a year without wars and favorable weather. However, for Zhang Qi, an ordinary Yunqin man, it's a heavy lifesaver, but it's his face.
This bag of white rice that Da Dexiang owes to him can help him not to do what he does not want to do and make him feel shameless.
For many Yunqin people, face is even more important than life.
So this ordinary Yunqin middle-aged man, this ordinary husband and father, thinks in his heart that if Da Dexiang wants to help himself in the future, he will even give his life.
"We can credit you on the R side!"
In many cities and towns of Yunqin, such a voice is constantly ringing.
Many shopkeepers of Dade Xiang who make such a sound are very clear about what such a sound means to Dade Xiang, but they all hold their chests. Like the old shopkeeper, they drink the sound very loudly and spread it far with the voice of trembling, pride and respect.
Many Yunqin people also know what such a voice means to Dade Xiang, so they only owe enough rice noodles to live in their own home. Before they go out of Dade Xiang's shop with rice noodles, they all bow to Dade Xiang's employees and managers.
Some Yunqin people didn't think of what it meant to Dade Xiang, but they also knew that the rice noodles in a shop can't be endless, but there are many families like them in the town, so they just owe enough rice noodles to live in their own home.
Farmers with the last savings in exchange for grain seeds, in the previously abandoned farmland to reseed Some businessmen who have no business, like some fishers and hunters, go to pick wild vegetables and learn to hunt and fish. Some goods that can be exchanged for some money are sold at a low price, which is like flowing water day by day.
The Yunqin army in Nanling province is still recovering the lost land. Good news is coming.
Late autumn passed, and Yunqin ushered in winter.
…… The old shopkeeper, who used to sing the same voice as the opera to announce that "our shop can be credited from R side", stood at the door of the shop early in the morning, wearing a fur coat before the shop opened. All the Dade Xiang guys in the shop behind him, including the accounting room and the warehouse, gathered behind him as before the opening on the first day of the ordinary new year.
There are many people standing in front of the old shopkeeper.
And even on the first day when credit was announced, there were not so many.
So many people didn't come here to credit rice noodles, but they all got some news more or less, and rushed to the street outside the shop before the shop opened in the morning.
In the morning light of winter, it's time to open the shop.
The old shopkeeper in the new fur coat slowly breathed out his white breath, then bowed deeply to all the neighbors gathered in the street in front of him, and apologized slowly: after receiving the news, the shopkeeper would not be able to raise money for a while, but could not send rice noodles for the time being, and Dade Xiang's shop would be closed in batches. Today is the last day of the shop's opening. Please tell all the neighbors Don't run for nothing from now on It's not right. "
All the employees of the shop behind the old shopkeeper also bowed deeply to apologize.
All the people gathered in the street in front of the shop fell into silence.
"Shopkeeper, when will you reopen?" Suddenly, there was a sound.
And then a lot of equally urgent voices started, "when can we reopen?"
In such a voice, the old shopkeeper bowed deeply again, and could hardly shake his head I don't know. "
The street fell silent again.
With each passing day, many people who didn't realize what it meant to Da Dexiang to provide credit all the time began to realize something Now, the look of the old shopkeeper also let these people know that maybe from now on, Dade Xiang's shop will not open again. Maybe in many places of Yunqin, Dade Xiang's shop will never open again.
Maybe the legendary business name of Yunqin and the future shops will not be opened again, only the name of "Dade Xiang" will remain.
All these people are very sad.
What they are sad about is not that they can't credit rice noodles, but that Da Dexiang has finally come to this end for them.
…… In the provincial city of Qiantang Province, a carriage marked with Da Dexiang is driving out of a quiet alley.
Chen feirong is sitting in this carriage.
Deep in the alley, there is a small number of houses, which do not seem to be particularly striking. They are no different from ordinary rich families.
But here is the famous "tianyuankui" of Yunqin.
Tianyuankui is the most powerful bank in the whole Qiantang province. At this moment, it is probably the most powerful bank in the whole Yunqin.
Even though the South has not been peaceful and the previous refugees have affected Qiantang Province, the principal of tianyuankui still lives in this old house.
When Chen feirong's carriage went out of this quiet alley, Shen Yulou, the owner of Tian Yuan Kui, and his brothers, several important managers of Tian Yuan Kui, invited Shen Chongshan, the old man who founded Tian Yuan Kui.
"It's hard..."
Sitting in the brocade cave, Mr. Tian Yuan Kui sighed in the eyes of many people.
"Chen feirong is hard It's hard for Tian yuankui How much money will be lost when a business like da Dexiang is dragged to the point of being shut down? You also find it difficult It's not because of business, but because we, the southern provinces, can have a mouth to eat and a mouth to eat soup, so we fell into such a field. Otherwise, only according to the business field, what's more difficult for you? Where can you promise Chen feirong? Do you need to ask me? "
The old man's quiet voice sounded in the quiet hall. It was like the snow falling in such a winter.
"What's more, Dade Xiang doesn't make a fool of himself. He just calculates how much money Dade Xiang has sent out. This is the root of a big tree, which has been gnawed by so many mouths. I know you asked me out to help Da Dexiang. "
"People's hearts are full of flesh. No matter how far away they are, which of these businesses in the South doesn't admire Da Dexiang's owner or Chen's manager? It's those old immortal people with eyes longer than mine who have no words to Dade Xiang. " The old man looked at the silent grandchildren gathered in front of him. "I've lived much longer than you. In the bad year, I see much more than you. I also want to help Dade Xiang But I
