Jiaohua

Chapter 629
Although Huazhou is adjacent to Songzhou, there is a world of difference between chaos and peace.

On May 23rd of the Gengyin Year, there was a new riot in Cide. Qian Xianmin, the leader of the peasant uprising army, led [-] soldiers and horses, burned, killed and looted all the way, and attacked Huazhou.

After taking Huazhou, he was incapable of governing the city, which led to the collapse of Huazhou's laws, complete fragmentation, and the rise of troops everywhere.

Up to now, in May of the year of Guisi, the entire Huazhou is still a mess.

After Xia Zhaoyi left Songzhou, she returned to Youzizhuang Ferry. This time she didn't stay at the inn. She and Zhi Changle went to the cloth shop they bought before.

The shopkeeper has been replaced. The original shopkeeper was eager to make a move. After selling the store, he took his family away. The two remaining employees were promoted to shopkeepers. They cherish this status very much, but if the business is not good, it is not good. There are less than ten orders in a day.

The owner suddenly came over, and the two shopkeepers were very attentive. They changed their impatience when they met for the first time, and served tea and water.

Both of them are in their early twenties, according to their monthly age, one considers himself a big shopkeeper named Lu Geng, the other considers himself a small shopkeeper named Feng Yaonong, and the two shopkeepers have no subordinates.

The business was so poor that they were afraid of being driven away. Unexpectedly, the owner was very talkative. After returning, he looked at the account books and put them aside, asking them to buy some more goods. They must make the store look bright and bright.

"No, there's no more money," Lu Geng said in embarrassment, "All the money in the store is here, and there are still expenses these days."

"I know," Xia Zhaoyi was picking up his pen, and said while writing, "I put 50 taels here, and you hire ten men, ten thugs, and I will send 500 taels over next month. The shop is also sold."

Lu Geng and Feng Yaonong were stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of them, suspecting that they had misheard.

The window sash behind her was open, and the wind from the river was blowing in. Her thin hair brushed her slender neck in an indescribably elegant and unrestrained way.

"Brother Zhi," Xia Zhaoyi handed the written words to Zhi Changle, "Please help me to get the cash from Dongzhi Bank."

Zhi Changle responded, turned and left.

Lu Geng swallowed his saliva: "Boss, ten guys, isn't that too much?"

"Not many, you can only take care of five of them," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "It's a good thing that the business in the shop is not good, and you have more free time, so you can go to a nearby shop with a good business to learn how they are. How it works."

Lu Geng and Feng Yaonong glanced at each other.

Bad business is actually a good thing, this is the first time I heard such words from the owner.

"While I was away, did you send me a letter?" Xia Zhaoyi changed the subject.

"No, no."

"I do have a few letters to send," Xia Zhaoyi said, "but I don't worry about the station, and I don't worry about outsiders. What can you do?"

"Don't worry about outsiders..." Lu Geng looked at the sky outside the window, and suddenly said, "Then why don't we send it by ourselves?"

Xia Zhaoyi leaned back, with a smile in his eyes: "Besides us, is there anyone else? It's me, you two, you are still the shopkeeper, and you definitely can't leave."

"Didn't you want to hire someone?" Feng Yaonong said, and suddenly realized after speaking, he hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry, the people we hired are absolutely reliable. We will try a bunch of methods when the time comes, and they will be dishonest and unfaithful." Yes, we definitely don't!"

"Yes," Lu Geng also said, "Boss, leave this matter to us!"

The mood of the two suddenly became high, and there was a bright light in their eyes.

Zhi Changle took the silver and Xia Zhaoyi didn't keep any money, but gave them the 50 taels.

Zhi Changle felt a complete loss in his heart, looked at the girl writing a letter by the window, and said in a depressed mood: "A Li, you are not afraid that they will steal the money and run away."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, and said softly, "No need for doubters, no doubt for employers."

"But they don't seem to be very capable." Zhi Changle scratched his neck, "The writing in the account book is worse than mine."

"But they write very hard stroke by stroke." Xia Zhaoyi looked up at him, "Don't worry, I don't lack people or money, but they lack opportunities, and it's not my loss that they can't grasp this opportunity." ,It's them."

Zhi Changle frowned and nodded: "Ali, I understand."

At this time, there was shouting and cursing outside.

Zhi Changle turned his eyes and looked out the window. It was a conflict caused by a ship that was docking and the porters on the shore.

The boatman and the porter were almost on the verge of fighting.

"And this is Youzizhuang," Zhi Changle said thoughtfully, "They may not be as incompetent as I thought. They can manage a shop in such a chaotic place without running away. At least they have a few brushes."

"No," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "the previous shopkeeper ran away."

"……Ha ha!"

At Maoshi the next day, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle left.

The ferry was brightly lit. They boarded a ferry. There were many people on board, crowded together. Zhi Changle used his huge body to separate a space for Xia Zhaoyi.

The further north you go, the fewer people on board, but more and more refugees along the river.

A day later, corpses began to float in the river, with rotten and swollen faces, the entire face was deformed.

Rumors gradually arose on the boat. Some people asked if they could dock, and if they continued to go up, there would be no accidents.

The captain wanted more people to go, and it was best to finish the trip, so he chose a shore to dock, but in the end there were still 20 people who chose to stay.

The captain wanted to chase people away, and the boatmen were all big men with thick arms. When the captain came to shout, they stood fiercely behind them.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle were standing at the stern of the boat, Zhi Changle cursed angrily when he saw this, and he didn't know where he found the pole, so he picked it up and was about to rush up.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't stop him, but before Zhi Changle, a tall, bear-like man stepped out first.

With a more fiery temper than Zhi Changle, he grabbed the captain's skirt and slammed into the cargo box beside him: "You bastard! We paid enough for the ship but wanted to drive us away halfway, and even brought people to threaten us! Today, I will beat you to death and throw you into this river, so that you can be a companion with the floating corpse!"

The voice was rough and violent, full of spirit, and the refugees on the shore turned their eyes to look at him.

The captain vomited blood from being hit by him, and none of the boatmen behind him dared to stop him, and he was completely frightened by the momentum.

Zhi Changle looked at the hulking man, blinked his eyes, and looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Okay, so fierce."

He is considered well-informed, but he has never seen such a big man, so burly as a bear.

"Changyi." A male voice sounded unhurriedly.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle looked at the speaker, who was wearing an elegant blue shirt, stroked his chin and long beard, and said softly: "Don't kill people."

The big man cursed again, let go of the captain, and threw him to the ground: "If you are dishonest again, your head will be cut off!"

　The big black bear with the highest force value in the book is here~!
