Chapter 758 The sky in the north is so blue!
Zhou Guo glanced at him and saw that he had no intention of talking, so he said, "If you can't win the argument, you can frame me. You can accuse me of being a spy without any evidence. If my crime is proven, then my entire clan will be exterminated!"
He looked at the man and said, "Hundreds of lives from the three tribes are so worthless in your eyes? Do you want to send these people to the guillotine with just one sentence? Among them are octogenarians, hardworking couples, young people who study hard, and babbling children who need to be fed. In your eyes, these people are really like ants?"
The man on the other side looked at the county magistrate, feeling somewhat guilty, "If you are really a spy, let alone three clans, even nine clans would be too light a punishment."
Zhou Guo nodded, and suddenly pointed at him and said, "I think you are the real spy. Your figure and face look almost like a Hu person. Besides, the harvest in the north is good this year. You must know that. You can collect the grain at the same price and sell it at the same price. You can make money on both ends. It's all the people's money!
You let these people not make money even if the harvest is good, and they can't afford food even if the harvest is good, just to let them starve to death! ! You let the North be in chaos, and it will collapse without fighting! You have ulterior motives, you are a spy! ! "
The other party was shocked and angry, pointing at her and unable to speak, and almost fainted from lack of breath.
Everyone patted his back and chest, and he finally recovered.
These people looked at the county magistrate and realized that this guy also had a backer, so they had to swallow their anger.
Zhou Guo won a great victory in this negotiation. He walked out of the county government gate with his head held high. He looked up at the sky and thought it was so blue!
Zhou Guo stayed in Chengding peacefully for five days. During this period, nothing happened and no one came to cause trouble.
She went downstairs to take a look and saw that all the shops were still selling at that price. She guessed that they were trying to outlive her even if it meant waiting.
Those small and medium-sized shops couldn't hold on and closed down early.
Hu Zi said, "Master, this has reduced the sales of mountain products in our shop."
Zhou Guo said: "It's normal. The price of grain is cheap right now. Everyone wants to spend all their money on stockpiling grain. How can they spare money to buy mountain products? I'm afraid our business will be sluggish for a while."
But it's okay this way. She hasn't forgotten her original intention, which was to ensure that everyone in the world has enough food to eat. Making money is secondary.
Besides, there are many ways to make money. The crabs in the pond are about to come out, and Qian Duo and his group will be back soon.
I just don't know if anyone has been affected by the war going on everywhere in the south.
It’s better not to leave now that you come back. Even the brave ones will die. Even the brave ones have to live to make money.
Zhou Guo stayed in Chengding for another five days before going to Ningping. The various prefectures were basically the same except Yunzhou, but with the old man in Wujiang and her letter, it was not difficult to deal with them.
The group of people came back at about the same time.
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "After all, he is the official in charge. No matter how greedy he is, he still has some conscience in his heart. He didn't kill us all. If I were to follow your words, Huaiyang would be a general. I don't know what the official in charge was thinking of. He immediately stood on our side. Now, no one comes except the shop, so we don't suffer much."
It's similar with the old man.
Fortunately, he had the clever Fatty by his side, otherwise he, who was the most impatient about dealing with government officials, would not know how to speak.
Li was worried, "But if this happens, how can we sell those mushrooms on the farm?"
This year, there are four or five hundred thousand kilograms of goods all over the mountains, and next year two more mountains will be opened up. With so much goods, if they cannot be sold now, will they just pile up at home and get moldy?
She just spent a huge amount of money to buy the hilltop, and it hasn't even been opened yet. So it's useless?
Zhou Guo comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. I have calculated the price. It's neither too high nor too low. When they can't support it anymore, they will naturally adjust the price back down. Besides, we still have the counties below. Although these counties can't compare with a few prefectures, so many counties added together can make up for it."
When the general conquers several surrounding prefectures, we will separate the mountain product store and the grain store and make more money.
Seeing that she was so confident, Li felt relieved.
After no news came from several prefecture cities, Qian Duo and his group finally returned.
When Zhou Guo got the news, he stayed up all night waiting at the farm.
Late at night, when the village was in deep sleep, Wu Jiang and his party quietly entered the village.
The dogs in each house barked once or twice and then stopped barking. They only barked at the people they knew.
Zhou Guo stood up and waved his hand, telling the people outside to start making a fire and cooking.
Before they reached home, the whole farm was in action, and the dark farm was now brightly lit.
When Qian Duo saw the lights on the farm from afar, his eyes became moist and he limped towards the farm.
Zhou Guo greeted him at the door and was shocked to see his disheveled appearance.
Then he looked at Niu Si, Mo Da and Mo Er, the escorts behind him. They were dishevelled and in tattered clothes. The people behind him were all the same, with gauze wrapped around their heads, arms in slings, and crutches, supporting each other...
He frowned and ordered, "Go down and take a shower and change into clean clothes. I'll have someone call a doctor."
The bald man led his men to help the brothers behind him down.
Then he took Qian Duo and Mo Da and Mo Erye away.
The water has been boiled early in the morning, so just use it now.
After all, there are many people on the farm. The busy farming season is over now. Except for those from Song County, she has withdrawn most of the manpower. After all, they haven't seen each other for half a year, and the brothers still miss Qian Duo, the second in command.
After Qian Duo and several others had finished washing, the doctor came.
He was not at all angry about not being woken up late at night. After all, the Zhou family was very generous. They not only gave him money, but also food, such as chicken, duck, meat, and mountain products. They were not stingy at all. One trip could feed the whole family for five or six days.
Seeing such a wounded soldier, he didn't ask any questions but just took his pulse.
Zhou Guo waited until he finished before asking, "Doctor, are they in critical condition?"
The old doctor waved his hand. "It's nothing serious. It's just some superficial injuries. You're a little tired, a little worried, and you've lost some blood. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You need to take some supplements and rest. You'll be fine in about half a month. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."
All three of them were fine, so Zhou Guo felt relieved.
At this time, the others had also finished packing up. She said to the old doctor, "Doctor, there are other people injured in the next room. Please go and take a look."
He personally sent the old doctor over.
The old doctor was also shocked when he saw the room full of wounded soldiers, but when he thought about Zhou Guo's wealthy family, he seemed to understand.
The meals were already prepared before we had even finished examining the wounded.
Zhou Guo asked someone to serve the food. At that time, everyone was tired and hungry. They started eating the food as soon as it came.
Seeing how deliciously they were eating, she couldn't help but eat some too.
