As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately felt relieved.

However, this old woman did not want to stay here because she had a feeling of protecting her calf. She did not want to expose the fact that her son had joined the sea as a bandit, and she did not want to cut off her son's escape route back home.

In fact, it has become a common phenomenon in Leizhou Prefecture, especially for villagers near the sea, to enter the sea.

For example, Jia Bao went to the sea to get his first pot of gold, and then became rich. However, not everyone can become Jia Bao. Most of them hide in the sea and become the dead souls of others.

Obviously, this old woman's son belongs to the latter, or as the old man said, he is a white-eyed wolf, and it is not worth helping him save this escape route.

"Yang Laosi, what are you talking about? My son is not a pirate. If you keep talking nonsense, I will... beat you to death!" Grandma Yang immediately shouted angrily, pretending to hit Yang Laosi with a stick.

Although Yang Laosi had already broken a leg, he was not intimidated by her and continued to peel the bamboo strips and said: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know a good heart! In your current situation, sooner or later you will starve to death! How can you come here?"

, that is a blessing given to you by God, don’t fail to cherish it!”

The woman in Changzhi was obviously a sharp-tongued person, so she persuaded her: "That's right! There is food and clothing here, how can you encounter such a good thing!"

"My son is not a pirate! My son will come back to take care of me soon! Even if you say a thousand words or ten thousand, I will not stay. I will go back and wait for my son to come back!" Grandma Yang pounded the ground hard.

He said firmly, pounding the stick.

There is a persistent spirit in the woman. No matter how hard and tiring she is, she will still wait for her son to come back. This seems to be a belief that supports her life.

Huniu frowned, but she complained: "Oh! Whether your son is a pirate or not has nothing to do with this! You have no one to take care of you in the village now, and we will choose to help you because we know each other. When will your son come back?

, just ask him to take you back, we are very reasonable!"

Yang Laosi is an enthusiastic person and immediately explained: "Huniu, this stubborn woman is worried that living here will expose her son to be a pirate, and the government will remove his son!"

The people around her also realized this and sighed softly, knowing that this was really not something that could be forced upon others and they should respect the old woman's choice.

Huniu said: "You don't have to worry about this at all! We have already considered this situation and will help you hide it. If it doesn't work, I will personally come forward to tell my brother not to pursue it!"

"Huh? This is a good idea!" When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Although Grandma Yang did not say a word, she was undoubtedly moved.

The sharp-tongued woman showed excitement on her face and said happily: "Grandma Yang, you are really lucky! This is the prefect's sister. If she says there is no problem, then there must be no problem!"

"Can she do this?" Grandma Yang whispered doubtfully.

Huniu raised her chin confidently and said with an expression that said I won't lie to you: "Of course I can do it! My brother loves me, and my brother has no grudge against your son, so why target him!"

"

Yang Laosi's eyes showed sincerity, and he also advised: "Ninth sister, just stay here with peace of mind. You have never been in Leizhou City and don't know the current situation! If Huniu said it's okay, then it must be okay.

, I, Yang Laosi, dare to use my head as a guarantee!"

Grandma Yang was also moved at this time. Her previous persistence was for her son, but now she has received repeated assurances, and there is no resistance at the beginning.

After repeated persuasion, the old woman finally nodded and chose to stay here and wait for her son to return.

Of course, no one was optimistic about her expectations. After all, her son was considered a filial son, but there had been no news for several years and he was probably buried in the sea.

After leaving the nursing home, Huniu went to the United Workshop and the Dyeing Workshop to check the situation, then entered Guangchao North Street and went directly to the United Bank.

The United Bank seemed very lively and was lending cotton seeds to ordinary people.

If an official from the imperial court saw it, they would definitely know what United Bank was doing. It was simply a replica of Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method, and they would even criticize it heavily.

It's just that in the eyes of later generations, Wang Anshi's reforms were a good thing. But since the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's status in the hearts of scholars was very low, and they thought that his reforms were just chaos and a typical disaster for the court.

After all, this is the remote Leizhou Prefecture, and the person who dominates all this is not a local government, but a bank account that suddenly appeared.

However, things will always encounter obstacles of one kind or another, blocking your path to success.

"This place is not suitable for growing cotton!" an old man said with concern.

"Look what you said, this is worth more than crops!" said a young man in charge of consulting work.

"It will be harvested by then. Whether we can get this price is still up for debate!" the old man muttered.

"Just relax! We signed the contract in black and white, how can I trick you?" the young man said disapprovingly.

"I'm still not worried!" The old man said frankly without giving any reason.

"You are such a stubborn old man! If you love to sow or not to sow, I won't welcome you anymore!" The young man seemed impatient and waved his hands like he was shooing away flies.

"You..." After being treated like this, the old man's face immediately showed anger.

Fortunately, at this moment, a little girl with a tough head came out and said to the impatient young man: "Ah Wu, how can you treat a guest like this? Believe it or not, I will ask your father to come over and beat you up!"

Thinking of his father's Overlord Fist, even though Awudang was deflated, he pointed at the old man and said unconvincingly: "He is here to cause trouble sincerely, and he has no sincerity in lending cotton seeds on credit!"

"Who says I'm not sincere?" The old man seemed to be a man of good face, and immediately asked angrily and loudly.

Ah Wu got into a fight with him and asked tit for tat: "Then tell me! What do you have to worry about when we give cotton on credit?"

"I'm worried that your workshop will suddenly go bankrupt during the harvest. Who else can I sell my cotton to?" The old man expressed his biggest worry.

Ah Wu snorted coldly, pointed outside and said: "Will the joint workshop close down? Not to mention the huge order of 50,000 taels received last year, go to the door of the workshop and see how many carts of cloth are shipped in a day?"

"Your cloth is so good and you sell so much, so you are losing money and making money!" The old man lost some momentum, but he continued to question.

"That's not true! We are making money. Last year, for the 50,000 tael order, my brother said that he had sold Franji people for 30,000 taels!" Huniu suddenly spoke, with a serious look on her face.

ah?

ah?

Whether it was the angry Awu or the old man who was full of doubts, their mouths were slightly open at this time, and they looked at Huniu with disbelief on their faces.

Snap!

What made people speechless was that Hu Niu slapped her forehead very hard and muttered regretfully: "I forgot, my brother asked me not to tell anyone."

Not to mention Ah Wu, who knew Huniu very well, even this cautious old man believed her instantly when he saw Huniu's regretful expression.

"You have to apologize to me! Who said I was insincere? I will sign a cotton seed loan contract right now." The old man snorted coldly and strode towards the front desk.

ah?

Awu was still skeptical, but when he saw the contract actually signed, he was really dumbfounded. Not only did the old man sign it, but he also got the highest loan payment, which was one hundred acres.

In order to encourage everyone to plant more cotton, the joint workshop has adopted a preferential plan for large cotton growers. For large cotton growers with more than 100 acres, the interest rate charged is almost free.

It turned out that this plainly dressed old man was a small landowner in Suixi County and was usually very low-key.

"I sign!"

"I sign!"

"I sign!"

…

Ordinary people who were originally worried suddenly seemed to go crazy and rushed into the United Bank to ask for cotton.

All of a sudden, United Bank, which was originally free enough to swat flies, was so busy that it didn't even bother to drink water.

The igniter of this fuse was undoubtedly this overly honest tiger girl. After revealing the amazing benefits of the joint workshop, everyone got rid of all doubts.

In fact, many people believe that joint workshops are making money and are unlikely to collapse so quickly. However, there is no real official data, so everyone chooses a conservative plan.

It's just that Huniu accidentally revealed the accurate data, but like a cannonball, all worries were shattered in one fell swoop.

Although Huniu revealed the data, she only felt regretful for a while, because her brother didn't seem to have a serious tone and the matter would not be too important.

When the iron captain led the people over, Huniu led everyone towards Chaotianmen.

Huniu has not forgotten her duty, which is to help her brother protect the city. And her idea is very simple. If she wants to protect the city, she must not let bad people sneak in.

Likewise, when she was wandering around during the day, one of her most important responsibilities was to find out the bad guys.

After understanding what Huniu meant, the Iron Catcher led everyone to check the passers-by, which was very similar to the strict inspections in later generations. When he saw someone acting suspiciously on the street, he immediately interrogated him and checked his route.

lead.

I have to admit that this method worked very well. During the time when Lin Ruoyu left Leizhou City, he actually captured many criminals, including several pirates who were sent to the city to find out.

"Wait!"

Huniu stood on the roadside, squinting at the pedestrians coming in from Chaotianmen, and suddenly pointed at a young man with evasive eyes.

But as soon as he finished speaking, this young man ran away. It can be said that he was extremely guilty.

Snap!

This young man was also extremely unlucky. After only walking a few steps, he met the policeman. The policeman threw him over his shoulder and knocked the young man to the ground.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! I am only responsible for keeping watch, I am not the one who stole the child!" The young man was beaten to pieces and immediately begged for mercy.

"Kill him!"

"Huniu, well done!"

"Otherwise, we don't let this kind of person step into our Leizhou City again!"

…

Everyone originally sympathized with this thin young man, but when he heard that he was an accomplice in child trafficking, the people around him were immediately extremely angry.

This is not the first time, but I don’t know whether it was because the bad guys were too guilty, or because Huniu had golden eyes, and she actually caught out a few more evil people.
