vista city.

The steward Zhang Chao had a smile on his face.

"Good stuff. This time it's mainly this kind of cigarettes. I asked someone to get a batch from Yizhou. They are very expensive."

Liang Qisheng raised his hand and took out a leather-covered wooden box from the carriage, opened the lid, and inside were neatly stacked cigarette boxes.

"This cigarette is very expensive. It tastes much better than dry tobacco. It's a good thing."

The steward Zhang Chao narrowed his eyes, flicked his cuffs, and quietly put away the pack of cigarettes that Liang Qisheng had stuffed over him.

This thing is a kind of tacit understanding, and he will naturally do his best to do things after receiving the benefits.

"Boss Zhang, we are old friends. It's not easy for me to take the risk this time. For the price, please take care of me." Liang Qisheng said with a smile on his face.

"It's easy to talk about, it's not difficult to do."

Zhang Chao, the steward, agreed with one gulp.

The two then bargained for a while, and Zhang Chao, the manager, asked someone to carry all the goods in.

Then, Liang Qisheng and Mi Qi were arranged to enter a box in the backyard, while the rest of the caravan attendants were taken to a large room to rest.

"This steward is quite capable."

Mi Qi was sitting in the private room, drinking tea. She was now Liang Qisheng's younger sister, so she was treated differently from those employees.

"We've been working together for a long time. This steward has a high status in Yuanqingzhuang, basically equivalent to the second in command." Liang Qisheng took a sip of water, he didn't like tea, he usually drank freshly boiled water.

"Is there such a high status?" Mickey was a little surprised.

"Boss, you know, Han Xiezi, he doesn't care about these specific matters, he only looks at the accounts at the end of the month. The big shopkeeper under him is in charge of affairs, but he rarely manages specific affairs, but mainly manages personnel affairs. , The specific affairs are generally assigned to several stewards, Zhang Chao, he ranks the highest among the stewards, and he also has the most trust from the shopkeeper."

Liang Qisheng explained.

"Okay, this manager seems to be very well informed." Mi Qi suddenly felt that according to this Zhang Chao, he could know a lot of things.

"That's right, he wants to do his errands well, so he must know the news in advance. Therefore, he has contacts in the three religions and nine streams in the city. He may know a lot of news before Han Xiezi." Liang Qisheng said.

"I'll come up with a story later."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Liang Qisheng nodded. This is his job. He deals with people from all walks of life in business.

Without making them wait for too long, Zhang Chao, the manager, walked in from the outside.

He saluted as soon as he entered the door, with a smile on his face.

"Apologize and apologise, I have neglected the two distinguished guests. There are several batches of goods coming in at the front desk, and I have to deal with them."

"It's okay, sit down and rest."

Liang Qisheng waved his hands.

"I'm about to take a break for a while, hey, I was born to work hard."

Manager Zhang Chao sat down.

The chairs in this box are all placed with soft cloth cushions, and the backrests are also wrapped with fur. Sitting on them, half of the body is wrapped in it, which is quite comfortable.

"There are more deliveries today than in the past."

Liang Qisheng said in a leisurely manner.

"The city gate has only been opened for a short time, and they are worried that the city gate will be closed again soon."

The steward, Zhang Chao, squinted his eyes and took a sip of the honey water brought by the maid. Whenever he was tired, he liked to have a cup, which could relieve fatigue and soothe his emotions.

"Everyone is worried about this. War, hey, no one likes it. We are small businessmen, and we hope that the world will be peaceful and safe, and the property we have worked so hard to save... If there is a war, it will be a soldier. Yes, most of them are unreasonable. Those with poor military discipline take advantage of the opportunity to burn, kill, loot, and do anything. If one side loses, the rout will be even more serious... We ordinary people have nothing to do , if you are not careful, the whole family will not be able to survive."

Liang Qisheng couldn't help sighing.

These words are not lies, but what he said from the bottom of his heart. Even though he still has a hidden guard status, he still hopes to live a peaceful life.

Taiping means order and rules.

Rules often protect defenseless people like them.

"If you don't fight, you don't fight. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life, but these things are still for the big shots to worry about. Let's just live well." Zhang Chao, the manager, said lightly.

"That's true, but our own wealth and life can't be handed over to others, right? This person has only one life. If he dies, he will really die and will not come back to life. If he dies, his wife will die." What about the children? When I was young, I went to the north and saw some families on the border of Qi and Liao. After the families were destroyed, those wives and children were bullied like cattle and horses, not even dogs."

Afterwards, Liang Qisheng began to talk vividly about what he had seen and heard back then, how those people's wives and children were bullied, beaten, etc. It was not bad, and they would even be locked in a water prison or thrown into a black mine. .

Those who entered the black mine had never heard of anyone coming out alive. They were all treated as consumables and worked until they died.

These were all witnessed by Liang Qisheng, so what he said was very true.

At the beginning, Zhang Chao, the manager who was a little disapproving, changed his face a little.

"Is it really like this?" He had seen those dark things, but he had never seen the horrible things Liang Qisheng said.

"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. That's why I fled back to the south and returned to Bozhou. I just thought that Bozhou is far away from the north, and we won't be able to reach us in a war. Who knows... hey..."

Liang Qisheng sighed deeply.

"Old Liang, your concerns are true. We really have to consider our lives and our lives. We will not fight if we can. Now that the Yang family in Bozhou has escaped from Yilong City, we all know it. In my opinion , there is absolutely no need for this Yuanjing City to resist the Daqi court."

Manager Zhang Chao said slowly.

Liang Qisheng looked around, he didn't expect Zhang Chao, the manager, to be so bold and to say it so clearly.

"Guard Zhang, you can't say this casually, be careful that walls have ears." Liang Qisheng lowered his voice, his tone a little nervous.

"There is no one else here, just us. Besides, this matter will not be discussed in Yuanjing City. Everyone says so." Zhang Chao, the manager, said.

"It's useless for us to say it. I thought about it. No way, our family will hide in the mountains recently. When the war subsides, we will come out again."

Liang Qisheng said.

"Let's wait and see, maybe something will happen soon."

But Zhang Chao, the steward, said something meaningful.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, I'll wait and see." Liang Qisheng nodded.
