Wang's little lady

Chapter 306 Whoever comes forward is a fool

"I have just met Mr. Jiang. The Xie family will obey the Yamen's orders and do their part. I suggest you go back and discuss with Mr. Hua and ask him to comply."

"I'm afraid Mr. Jiang has someone notify your father by now. He's done something about this. If you pay some money, you won't lose."

As for more details, Hongdou didn't say much, so as not to reveal too much and disrupt Master Jiang's plan.

Huali glanced at Hongdou in confusion. She seemed to know a lot about the meaning of Hongdou's words just now. And he also met Master Jiang in advance.

She looked at Hongdou and couldn't help but guess: "Hongdou, maybe you had a hand in it too."

Otherwise, how could he dare to guarantee to her that they would not lose money?

Hongdou's expression did not change at all, and he answered naturally: "My family is not as good as yours, how can I be so capable?"

"I came here today to inquire about the follow-up arrangements with Mr. Jiang, so that I can prepare early. This is what Mr. Jiang hinted to me. I think Mr. Jiang is quite reliable in his work."

"And this time it's not targeted at any one person. If we are really deceived, all the merchants in the county will unite, and Mr. Jiang will also have a headache."

Hong Dou said it calmly, and Huali couldn't help but feel that she was overthinking it. Even if Master Jiang really had a crush on Hong Dou, he wouldn't tell her everything about the Yamen.

After all, in the hearts of men, women are not allowed to interfere in official affairs, especially yamen affairs. Maybe he really thought too much just now.

"Thank you for your reminder. I have to go back and discuss this matter with my father quickly, lest he confront the Yamen directly and offend Mr. Jiang."

After Huali thanked Hongdou, she immediately rushed back with Hongdou's support to talk to Mr. Hua earlier.

This scene happened to be seen by She Manqing who was passing by at the meeting.

However, due to the distance, She Manqing could not hear what the two sides were discussing.

But she noticed that after the two of them finished talking, Huali immediately hurried back, and her speed was not slow. This made She Manqing have to think more, did the two families discuss some business again?

She originally wanted to go up and say hello to Xie Hongdou, but because of the disaster, the street was a little messy, and she was not allowed to come out for too long at home, and she was accompanied by servants.

I had to forget it first.

Even if the two people did discuss some business, the entire Fengdu County was in chaos during these days, and it would be difficult to implement it as soon as possible. There was no rush.

Even with this thought, She Manqing did not insist on stepping forward to talk to Hongdou, and walked back with her servants.

About an hour passed.

Almost all the merchants with names in Fengdu County gathered at Mr. Jiang's temporary office.

Everyone is guessing what happened when Mr. Jiang suddenly called them here today. Apart from Hongdou, only the Hua family and Mrs. Zhao could hold their temper.

They had already learned some news from Hongdou in advance, and the summary was: follow Master Jiang's wishes.

After everyone arrived, Jiang Huaizhi took his master out and prepared to discuss the next business with everyone.

"Thank you for being able to get here as quickly as possible under such a situation. I would like to thank you all in advance."

After Jiang Huaizhi finished speaking, he bowed his hands to everyone in front of him without any pressure. This move confounded the businessmen present.

As soon as their adults came up, they were like merchants with their luggage and couldn't afford it.

Therefore, everyone stood up immediately, fearing that Master Jiang would remember them if they were too late.

"Your Majesty, you have disgraced us. How can we bear your gift?"

"Yes, yes, it's our turn to give you a big salute."

"My lord, if you have anything to do, just ask us. We will definitely not refuse if we are within our capabilities."

"No, we are all good citizens who abide by the law. If there is something going on in the yamen, we will naturally listen."

"Yep..."

Everyone said something to me, and I was fired up from the beginning. Only the Hua family, Zhao family, Hongdou and others stood firmly in place.

Jiang Huaizhi saw that everyone's mood was almost heated, so he continued to speak:

"You are the people of Fengdu County. As the parent of Fengdu County, I firmly believe that we have the same feelings for Fengdu County."

"That is, we all hope that Fengdu County will get better and better." Everyone present agreed with this point. No one does not want their hometown to be worse than others.

Regardless of whether they will be here for generations, their roots will always be in Fengdu County.

"Your Excellency is right, Fengdu County is our root."

"No, no matter where we go, we all come from here. We can't forget this."

"If we dare to forget this, our ancestors will come up in the middle of the night to teach us a lesson."

"Hahaha~"

At this time, everyone was completely free of the restraints they had just now, as if they were just chatting with their parents today and discussing things normally.

Jiang Huaizhi asked someone to prepare some tea and snacks. After everyone was satisfied, he slowly got down to business.

"I invite you all to come here today because I have received some news in the past two days. After thinking about it, I think it would be better to discuss it with everyone."

"Fengdu County is the home of the entire Fengdu people, and it should be known to everyone."

The merchants also calmed down now. They knew in their hearts that Mr. Jiang had specially summoned them today because he must have something to announce.

Just look at how relevant this matter is to them.

However, after everyone's friendly exchanges just now, even if they knew that Mr. Jiang had a purpose next, they wouldn't be too disgusted.

"Sir, if you have anything to do, just give us your instructions, and we will do our best."

Jiang Huaizhi saw that there was no obvious rejection from everyone, and then said: "I have received news that in this border battle, we Daqing lost the first one."

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately became anxious. They don't need to think about the treatment of the defeated countries.

If Daqing is completely defeated, how can they, the people of Daqing, do well?

Seeing everyone's worried faces, Jiang Huaizhi continued: "But don't worry too much. The imperial court has urgently raised military pay. There is no problem at the moment."

"And the Lin family is still supporting the border. If nothing happens, the Fang family will lead troops to fight again."

When everyone heard that the Lin family and the Fang family would support the border, a big stone fell in their hearts.

Their Daqing has always been so stable thanks to the joint protection of the Lin family and the Fang family. They had also heard about what happened to the Fang family before.

They actually don't care about the truth of the matter. As long as the Fang family can protect their family and country and let them live a good life, they won't pay too much attention.

"In that case, why did you come to us today..." Mr. She asked after seeing this. He couldn't just tell them that they were safe, right?

Mr. Hua already had some guesses in his mind. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Mr. She and said to himself:

idiot!

"Master She asked this question well. This is the purpose of my calling everyone here today."

Jiang Huaizhi gave Mr. She a gentle look, as if he was satisfied with his cooperation.

When Mr. She saw this, he suddenly wanted to slap himself in the face because he was quick to talk.

"The imperial court's current energy will be focused on the border, whether it is manpower or food and wages. As a result, we in Fengdu County can only rely on ourselves."

Now everyone finally knew what they were called for today.

Master Jiang wants them to bleed.

Jiang Huaizhi smiled and looked at everyone's reactions.

The merchants who had just promised to follow the footsteps of the Yamen were silent at this time. Whoever steps forward at this time is a fool.

Do you really think you have too much money and no place to spend it?
