The news of the arrival of the grain ship immediately caused a sensation in the entire new area, and countless people rushed to the wharf, and for a time thousands of people were empty, filling the entire newly built wharf to the brim.
Lu Hanqiang stood excitedly at the door of the hall, looking at the Yellow River in the distance, where there was a big boat slowly heading towards the wharf, roughly estimated that there were as many as 200 ships, with many sails, almost completely covering the Yellow River, the scene was very spectacular.
Every ship was full of grain bales, and on top of each high grain pack stack was a huge dark yellow flag, which was hulalashu roll in the strong south wind, which was the color peculiar to the Royal Post Courier, which was the unique flag of the Royal Post Courier.
"It's our business, it's our food."
Lu Hanqiang trembled his lips, he could no longer hold back his mood, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
The grain ship that looks forward to the stars and the moon has finally come.
Wang Gonggong looked at the huge fleet, and couldn't help but arch his hand to the sky in the east, and roared in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the grain ship is coming, the grain ship is coming." ” Ying and his excited shouts were the drunken shouts of hundreds of people on the wharf: "The grain ship is coming, the grain ship is coming." ” This is hope, this is the hope of living.
Lu Hanqiang walked quickly to the dock with the horns of his robe, first walking, then running, and then running, and even a steady county order Lu Huanzhi joined the ranks of the wild run, they needed this food too much, they needed this hope too much.
When the grain arrives, the people's hearts will be stable, the food shortage will be solved, and countless people will be able to live.
"Your Excellency is coming, your adult is coming, give way to your adult."
I don't know who turned around, and saw Lu Hanqiang, who was sweating profusely, and others were desperately squeezing in the direction of the dock, so he shouted.
With this voice, some of the people in front of them woke up, and they turned their heads one after another, and then bowed to Lu Hanqiang in a mood of worship, and all of them shouted excitedly: "My lord, grain ship, my lord, grain ship."
Then he automatically gave way of a way, and the cry went forward like a rolling wave, and the road that had been dodged stretched forward and extended like a cleaving wave.
Standing at the front of the newly built wharf, Lu Hanqiang saw that the person in charge of the wharf was eagerly rushing out of the bay in a small boat to lead the way, after all, there were too many boats, and the current wharf could not accommodate so many large ships at one time.
The small boat determined the identity and purpose of the ship in the middle of the channel, and then guided the first batch of twenty ships to sail into the inland river, and slowly docked on the dock, the boat had just tied the cable, and before the gangplank was set up on the first boat, three people rushed off the boat, and a strong man led by him walked quickly in front of Lu Hanqiang and gave a deep salute: "The co-organizer is hard, Zhao Liang will see you." ” Lu Han was shocked, and helped this person up, not Zhao Liang or who looked at his already dark face at that time, but he was surprised and delighted: "Why are you, why are you here?"
Zhao Liang smiled but said: "It's a long story, and wait for your subordinates to introduce you to the boss of the commercial bank who transported the grain this time."
As he spoke, he dodged away and pointed at the two people behind him.
"This is legitimate, take me to meet the righteous businessman."
After speaking, as Zhao Liang walked towards the comer, the two sides met, and Lu Hanqiang took the lead in bowing his hand: "The lower official sent Lu Hanqiang to meet the two righteous businessmen.
Lu Hanqiang took the initiative to come forward and bow his hands, this is definitely not in line with the rules of officialdom, originally Shinong businessmen, businessmen are at the end, and when they see officials, they have to kneel down and kowtow, Lu Hanqiang definitely makes the two well-informed businessmen poke at a loss.
At this time, Zhao Liang stepped forward with a smile to clear the siege: "Two gentlemen, my family is the most approachable, I don't like others to visit, since everyone is a bold person, let's talk about it as equals."
Then without waiting for the two to say more, he introduced Lu Hanqiang: "This."
A finger pointed to a businessman in his thirties who stood in front of him with an elegant temperament and said: "Huzhou Li family, has been a cangcao, recently resigned and returned home to run the Li family business, Mr.
Li Zhiqiu." ” "I'm glad I will."
No wonder this person looks so different, and his emotional family used to be an official, and he was also a Jiangnan family, so he absolutely didn't say anything about his cultivation.
Then he pointed to a person who was following him, this person was about the same age as him, but he obviously did not have Li Zhiqiu's bearing, but he was also different from other businessmen: "This is the rising star of the Li family, named Li Changyou." ” Lu Hanqiang once again gave up his hand to Li Gongzi, who was a lot older than himself, but he looked slightly cramped in the face of himself: "There are many handsome people in the Wang family, as expected, I will be lucky." ” After being met so peacefully by Lu Hanqiang, Li Zhiqiu's uncle and nephew also became calm, and after giving Lu Hanqiang a courtesy in a proper manner, he said what Lu Hanqiang was most concerned about: "My lord, the grass people heard that there was no harvest in Shanxi for many years, and they also heard that the adults adhered to the emperor's will and worked tirelessly to go to Shanxi to help the victims, and specially transported 101,000 stones of grain, of which 1,000 stones were donated by my Li clan to the people of Shanxi, in order to help the adults to be compassionate and compassionate. ” One thousand taels of silver is not much for Lu Hanqiang, but a thousand stones of grain, when Lu Hanqiang is anxious now, is definitely a hospitality, at that time it narrowed the distance between Lu Hanqiang and Li Zhiqiu, so that Lu Hanqiang's good impression of him greatly increased, at that time he held Li Zhiqiu's hand and shook it again and again: "Thank you for your righteous deeds, I will bring the people of Shanxi to thank you." ” "I don't dare to say thank you, but I just do what I can with the tail of the adult."
At this time, the dock was already crowded, and countless coolies had already picked up their poles and waited to unload the ship.
"Brother Li Nian, is it possible to deliver the grain?"
asked Lu Hanqiang eagerly.
"The disaster is urgent, and that's exactly how it should be."
Li Zhiqiu replied heartily.
So Lu Hanqiang immediately ordered Zhao Zi to lead a group of hired clerks and began to hand over to Fifteen Lang Li Changyou.
And Lu Huanzhi, the county honor, took matters into his own hands, copied an account book, and was busy in full swing.
Fifteen Lang immediately turned around and yelled at the ship: "Open the warehouse and unload." ” The crowd roared and cheered again, and countless people began to board the ship and carry bags of grain to the warehouse.
"Brother Li, the delivery here begins, please come to my official hall for tea."
"Excuse me, my lord."
Everyone returned to the conference hall again, and when Li Zhiqiu walked in, he couldn't help but be shocked by the shabby hall, the dignified envoy stationed in the subordinate government was so simple, which was really different from the style of other officials of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the impression of Lu Hanqiang in his heart was also better.
When the two sides sat down, Wang Jian raised the coke stove in the corner of the hall and began to boil water on the stove, preparing to make tea, but this small gesture made Li Zhiqiu pay attention.
Because no matter where it is, the boiling water is to be outside, or it will make the room full of dust and smoke, but here is special, it is actually boiling water in the hall, and the stove is not big, I saw that Xiao Si is just put in two gray things, and there is no fireworks, but only in the short time when the two of them greeted each other, the teapot has hissed out of steam, and it has been boiled in a blink of an eye, which has to be said to be very magical, and secretly said in my heart, is this the legendary coal essence Let Li Zhiqiu be right, this is coke, this move is deliberately arranged by Lu Hanqiang, this is also a marketing method, 100,000 stone of grain, according to the price he gave, then it will be 120,000 taels of silver, after two months of construction and development, now Lu Hanqiang has a few copper plates left in his pocket, and he can't take silver to deliver at all, so the coal essence made for the south is coke, which must be bought by them.
The tea was served, Li Zhiqiu took a sip gently, and almost spit it out at that time, what kind of tea is this, it is not as good as drinking it from his own family, peeking at it, Lu Hanqiang drank it sweetly, and Zhao Liang didn't understand the quality of tea at all, for him, when he was thirsty, it was most direct to get a bowl of cold water, and drinking tea was a boiling thing.
Peeking at the place where the water was boiling again, the little guy sat down with another pot of water, and there was no coal essence added, nor did he fan the fire, and then he stood behind Lu Hanqiang and was ready to summon at any time.
"This is indeed a magical thing, this is definitely a rare business opportunity in the south, and it seems that I was the first to come to the right place."
Lu Hanqiang smiled and said: "Wang Jian, as the so-called guest comes to the host's blessing, you go to the kitchen to arrange some meals, this time the grain is here, you must make a good meal." ” "Yes, sir."
Wang Jian promised to take a step, but Lu Hanqiang nodded and stopped: "By the way, you tell the kitchen that there is a distinguished guest arriving today, kill him." ” "Yes, sir."
Wang Jian agreed, and only then did he go out to arrange after giving the gift.

Li Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart again, he was so dignified that he had to wait until there was a guest to eat a chicken, it seems that Lu Hanqiang is indeed a good official.
The admiration in my heart couldn't help but be even worse.
After greeting and putting down the teacup, Lu Hanqiang leaned over and asked with a smile: "Where was Brother Li an official in the first place, but why did he abandon the official and not do it?"
Li Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "The grass people are dull, and they have to be promoted in the cold window for ten years, and they were placed in Hangzhou Caoyun to be a cangcao, but they don't know the current affairs, so they abandon the official and go home to take care of the family grain industry." ” said simply, but he could see that he was an upright person, but if he said that the official was bad in front of the Qincha, it would be pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man, which was definitely not a pleasant topic to talk about.
So Li Zhiqiu arched his hand and said: "Your kindness is indeed compassionate, when I looked at the dock, this place alone fed no less than 70,000 people, which shows that your Excellency is clever." ” Lu Hanqiang frowned and said: "The people are in trouble, I just let them support themselves as much as possible, and turn the disaster relief that was originally a passing scene into their long-term livelihood, so I hope to stabilize the party." ” At this time, Zhao Liang leaned out and threw his hand at Lu Hanqiang, and Lu Hanqiang nodded lightly.
"Lord Qiyu, this time Mr.
Li poured all the family and brought food, but he also withstood the pressure of the family."
"What's the situation" Lu Hanqiang looked at Li Zhiqiu.
Li Zhiqiu smiled slightly and shook his hand generously, "It's not a big deal."
But I didn't want to go on.
So Lu Hanqiang looked at Zhao Liang again, and Zhao Liang hurriedly explained: "This time in the south, the eight families of the Jin merchants were also there to grab grain, in order to monopolize the market, all the means were exhausted, but they smuggled the grain through Shandong to support Houjin, and at that time also encouraged Mr.
Li's uncle to buy the grain in Mr.
Li's hands at a high price. ” Lu Hanqiang suddenly got up and gave Li Zhiqiu a deep salute, "Mr.
Gaoyi, Lu admires him, and he is really a national soldier." ” How dare Li Zhiqiu bow to the Qin, quickly got up and returned the salute, and said humbly: "The grass people are familiar with the famous sayings of the sages, and this righteousness still dare not forget, only hate those greedy villains, and when the country is difficult, they don't care about the ancestral homeland and the enemy, and there are even more corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Shandong, who only look at the gold and silver in front of them, but they don't care about the righteousness of the country and the dynasty, and help the abuse, but unfortunately I don't have three feet of Qingfeng, and I can't kill these traitorous villains, it's a pity." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled in a blink of an eye and said: "I won't leave Shanxi for a while, it seems that I will meet with those eight businessmen to see how I can rectify them, and I heard that Sun Yuanhua will also go to the governor of Denglai, at that time, the corrupt officials in Shandong, the moths of the country will also have no good life." ” Li Zhiqiu's eyes lit up: "What the adults said is true, this Sun Yuanhua can really rectify the officialdom in Shandong" "Sun Yuanhua is a disciple of Lord Xu Guangqi, as the saying goes, there must be a disciple of his teacher, I think Sun Yuanhua will definitely be able to be upright and rectify the officialdom in Shandong."
This is the case, in the near future, Sun Yuanhua went to Shandong to serve as the governor of Denglai, which is the largest governor in the world, this official position is specially tailored for the Houjin, the military and the people grasp together, and vigorously build the water division, the water division alone reached 50,000 people in its heyday, that is the last period of glory of the Ming Dynasty.
"The eight families of Jin merchants, with Sun Yuanhua, they can no longer transport grain in Shandong to Jinzhou Houjin, and then he will definitely take the route you take today and go north, and transfer Houjin through Mongolia, at that time, not only the road is far away, but also my defense area, haha, the good days of profiteers are over."
Lu Hanqiang optimistically expressed his mentality of smashing his job to this volunteer businessman.
"It's Lord Xu Guangqi's disciple who rectifies Shandong, and he must be an upright character if he thinks about it, and then there is an adult dispatching from it, and Daming will be saved."
Li Zhiqiu said happily.
As he was talking, Lu Huanzhi strode in covered in dust, and as soon as he came in, he thanked Li Zhiqiu: "Thank you Mr.
Li for saving me, the people of Pinglu have been saved, and Pinglu has been saved."
Then he said to Lu Hanqiang: "Lord Lu, I have sampled all the grain transported by Mr.
Li this time."
When he said this, the old face couldn't help but blush, as if he was a fellow literati, he shouldn't be so small-bellied, "The boats are all high-quality rice, Mr.
Li, and the true believers are also." ” Li Zhiqiu also said heartily: "You also need to have a conscience in business, especially the food for disaster relief, and you don't dare to mix it with fake and break your conscience." ” Lu Huanzhi praised it again.
At this time, the meal was ready, and Wang Jian asked if it was okay to eat.
Li Zhiqiu came by boat all the way, it was all dry food or something, he was hungry for a long time, he was just holding on to the literati's shelf, embarrassed to say, Lu Hanqiang saw it, and hurriedly ordered the food to be served.
If there is anything to say, it is better to discuss it at the wine table. t1706231537:
