I want to be a good person

"did you miss me?"

"Yes I do."

"What are you thinking about?"

"here!"

Zhang Aiguo took his hand and placed it on his chest.

"You're lying. I've been gone for so long and I'm only here now."

"Blame me. I thought you liked staying at home for a few more days to accompany your parents."

"Is everything okay at home?"

"Hongmei left, with Yang Zichao."

"Oh."

Neither party spoke any more, and Zhang Aiguo turned to look out the window.

The wheels are rolling, but the speed is not fast. The trees are still falling backwards. The Yellow River is yellow, not from urine. Mount Tai is high, not from piles. Only the awesomeness is left, which is just bragging.

"What are the arrangements next?"

"What arrangement?"

"I saw with my own eyes how arrogant the Japanese were in Beijing. The elders at home were discussing it, implying that war was only a matter of time, so they were all looking for a way out."

"So you're getting married?"

"Yes, they believe that even if they fall, someone will be needed to maintain law and order. If they want to protect their property, they cannot be a clean official. They will not be used to the hard life."

"Understand that each level has its own level of suffering."

“So, I want to know what the next plan is.”

"Xinyu and Xiaohan went to Haojiang and Xiangjiang a few days ago to make preparations in advance!"

"Our family is making arrangements and is now scattered across the country and has some bases abroad."

"The cicada knows before the golden wind blows, and the death is unknown before the dark plot. The green mountains can only tell the present and the past, but the green water has never washed away the right and wrong."

"Why are you so emotional? It doesn't suit your age, sir."

"By the way, I want to ask you a question? If you want to, just say it. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't ask!"

The little hand rubbed Zhang Aiguo's eyebrows.

"What is your real name?"

"Real name?"

"It's okay to tell you, Ma Xiaoshu, people in the martial arts world call him Lord Ma."

"Lord Ma?"

"Yes, the three-eyed horse king!"

"Feel it again for me, where is it?"

"Hee hee hee"

"You have to be aware that it may be difficult to return home in the future. I have deceived them this time."

"I know that our parents all want to continue the family line. Once a daughter is married off, she is like spilled water. Girls are not as important as boys."

"Oh, by the way, your aunt?"

"My cousin died on the dam, his body was never found, my uncle left him alone, and we became strangers."

"It is much better to be a drunkard than a poor man."

"why do you say so?"

"Okay, let's stop talking and talk about something happy."

"Ah."

"After you go back, you and Xinyu should have a baby. Then go to Hong Kong first, buy a house and a piece of land, and bring some people from your family over there."

"What about you?"

"I still have duties to fulfill. I can't come to this world in vain."

"doing what?"

"Have a clear conscience!"

in silence.

"Xiaohan is staying?"

"I'm more confident in her skills. Xiangjiang has established Simei Trading and purchased two transport ships. I will visit you often."

"Well, you have to pay attention to your own safety!"

In November of the 24th year of the Republic of China, the National Government announced the implementation of the legal currency reform. The monetary system changed from the silver standard to paper currency, the circulation of silver was banned, and the people were required to exchange it at a 11:1 ratio. The silver was nationalized and converted into foreign exchange reserves.

The premise of the reform was the world economic crisis. China's economy experienced severe deflation because of the appreciation of silver, which caused a large outflow of money. There was a shortage of money in the market, and financial and export trade were hit hard, with a trade deficit of more than 500 million yuan a year.

The exchange rate was 1 yuan of legal tender equal to 1 shilling and 2.5 pence of the British pound. From an institutional perspective, the reform was undoubtedly a success.

At this time, Zhang Aiguo had just arrived in Hong Kong accompanied by the pregnant Wen Ruixi and Zhao Xinyu.

On the first floor of a four-story building in Wan Chai, there are two signs hanging, indicating that the grain trading company is open for business.

"Sir, ma'am."

As soon as the Ford Y-model car stopped, Zhao Dayou, who was already waiting, reached out to open the door.

"So this is the place. It's not as good as Shanghai?"

Wen Ruixi muttered.

"The situation is still unclear now. You will be the one to make the decision in ten years."

"Sister Xinyu, we must remember what you said."

"Hee hee hee."

Dozens of people from Shanghai brought their families with them. Niu Dali from Haojiang went to take charge, while Liu Qinghe and Wei Shaojie stayed in Shanghai and brought all their families over.

Niu Dali spent the most money, but he was the most loyal one. As soon as they met, the little girl would cling to him all the time and counted on her fingers, hoping that he would grow up quickly.

"Da Li, there are two more Ford trucks. You can register them and set up Yihesheng Transportation Company. I will also provide more than 40 oxen and horses, and carts. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. I am optimistic about you."

"All for pulling the cart?"

"Ride a horse and see if you can sell it to the racetrack?"

"understood."

"Sir, my Aconitum?"

"I'll save the aconite for you."

The third floor was specially set up as an armory room, with long and short rifles, bullets, grenades, and MG08/15 machine guns.

Haojiang left behind Madsen machine guns as fire support.

Back in Shanghai again, the weather has turned into winter.

"You don't want children?"

"Yes, I want to wait until my master has seen you."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know. I guess she'll be looking for me soon."

There was only one rhubarb left in the western-style building. The chickens and ducks had been moved across the sea to the backyard in Wan Chai, where they lived with three Mongolian dogs. It looked much quieter.

After the space was unloaded, only two horses, one black and one white, were left, and the supplies were almost cleared.

"Xiao Han, would you like to accompany me to Sichuan to sell a batch of supplies?"

"There's no one at home to take charge, so I'll stay. We've discussed that you're not allowed to bring in outsiders."

"Okay, as you wish."

Those who are already family members are not included, right?

The ship went upstream, and the Jiangyin Fortress was in front of us, so we stared at it for a few more seconds.

My heavy artillery! It hasn't arrived yet!

"Sir, a representative from a trading company in Hong Kong is here to sell something to you. Would you like to meet him?"

"What are you selling? No, no, no."

"Yes."

The adjutant turned and prepared to go out.

"Wait, ordinary people wouldn't come to you to find me, what do they want to do?"

"Sir, they want to trade for goods. They are offering gun steel, artillery steel and other high-quality steel."

"Barter for something?"

"Yes, we also accept rice, wheat, corn, tung oil, pig bristles, and rare mineral soils."

"Are there any other conditions?"

"No."

"No purpose?"

"He mentioned that because the Japanese were rampant and there would inevitably be a war between China and Japan, he was willing to provide us with special steel from overseas to prepare for it."

"how many?"

"Ton."

"That's a lot. We only produced 50,000 tons nationwide last year, and it wasn't even special steel."

"What about the price?"

"It's $150 a ton!"

"It's not cheap."

"Sir, this is the first-hand price. He will deliver the goods to your door, plus a freight of ten dollars per ton. I can find out that it is ten dollars cheaper."

"Once the news of this thing leaks out, everyone will rush to buy it. We can't produce it. It's really frustrating."

"It's safer to have them deliver the goods to your door."

"That makes sense. We can then resell it and make some extra money."

"But what are the other party's requirements?"

"Now that it's in our hands, we have the final say."

"What the sir said is right, it is really high."
