The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said: "I have heard of it, but there is no basis for it. A seven-month-old baby can survive, but an eight-month-old baby can't?"

Boss Qian said, "Is that true? If you don't believe me, ask your sister."

Wan Baiqian nodded: "There is a saying among the people, I am not afraid of war, I will not leave, Shang Xi Cheng Feng, you don't have to be afraid, if the situation really develops to that level, my uncle can't watch your family get into trouble."

Shang Xi said: "My uncle is not afraid at all. He is even laughing and telling us to eat and drink. Do you think I can eat and sleep well at this time?"

Wan Baiqian said: "It's hard to say how much peace we can have in the future. We just need to eat and drink. If the sky falls, we have the big guys to hold it up. You don't have to be afraid."

Shang Xi swallowed his saliva. These people from the Wan family are really not afraid of death. They are not afraid of anything.

Cheng Feng said, "Boss Qian, I remember that Shang Xi and I collected a lot of grain in our granary last winter. I want to transport the grain to Fengying to supply my uncle and Fengying."

Boss Qian said, "The granary is yours. I have no opinion on how you want to deal with it, but the food for the workers who open the mines and make candles in the mountains comes from your granary."

Cheng Feng nodded: "I understand that, but Fengying needs food more."

Boss Qian said, "Cheng Feng, there are a few more things you should know. Excluding the several thousand people who went to the Bianjing Kiln Factory, we have more than 60,000 workers in the South City. Excluding the local villagers, 54,000 people are refugees we took in. We use tens of thousands of kilograms of food every day. If the food in this granary is emptied, I am afraid that I will not be able to supply it if I go out to collect food now. In addition, this granary reserves a year's surplus for these 60,000 people. If you supply it all to Fengying, I will be at a loss. Food is not something that you can get if you have money."

Cheng Feng said, "Brother-in-law, I have an unreasonable request, but I don't know whether I should mention it or not."

Boss Qian said, "There is nothing that cannot be discussed among family members. At this time, we should just talk about whatever we want to say."

Cheng Feng said: "Nancheng can't use up so many workers. Can we ask them if they want to come to Fengying? If they are willing to come, I will ask my uncle if I can give them some land or something. Fengying is going to fight a war, and it is a time to need people. If no one comes, all of us will be dead."

Boss Qian stood up and paced on the ground. He seldom did this. Every time he made a decision, he was decisive and never dragged his feet. What Cheng Feng said about wanting Liang and people were all big things.

Seeing that Boss Qian was reluctant to speak, Cheng Feng said, "If my brother-in-law can give up and let them send 30,000 people, I will take half of the grain in the granary and leave the other half for my brother-in-law."

Wan Baiqian slammed the tea bowl in his hand onto the table and said, "Boss Qian, why are you hesitating? Just do as Cheng Feng said and transfer people here immediately. Aren't there mines here, quartz mines, iron mines, and factories here, kiln factories, iron factories, sugar factories, weaving workshops, and sweet potato flour factories? Let them come here and let my uncle divide the land first. The wages are only more than those in Nancheng, not less than those in Nancheng. In the name of Shang Xi, a kind man, no one will refuse to come."

Boss Qian is a businessman. The reason why he dares to support 60,000 people is that his 60,000 people are all useful. "Madam, please let me think about it again."

"What are you thinking about? Don't you have any idea how my uncle came to Bianjing? If you hadn't given that Princess Zhuoyang bad advice, my uncle would have been drinking tea in the Marquis' Mansion in Bianjing. All this is thanks to you, Boss Qian. If you had wiped out my Wan family's nine clans at that time, I would not let your Boss Qian live one more day."

"Qian'er, you can say angry words, but you must not say harsh words. Our child in your belly can hear it."

"You can't hear shit. Quickly send people to Fengying. They need strong people. If there is an invasion, the common people can hold up swords and sticks to stop it."

Boss Qian knew that he was in the wrong, and he was afraid that Wan Baiqian would bring up Wan Lianxing because of something that had happened until today.

"Okay, okay, you two siblings are really pushing me. Cheng Feng, go back and ask the Marquis. If he can give everyone some land, I will send Dong Ke back in person. But Shang Xi, you have to go back with him too. Nancheng is thousands of miles away from Fengying. If you don't go back, I'm afraid these people won't be able to follow you."

Shang Xi rubbed her hands nervously, as if a battle was about to break out. She swallowed and said, "Well, I can go back with Dong Ke, but bringing them here won't harm them. Isn't this just suicide?"

Cheng Feng said, "No, with 10,000 or 20,000 men, it's enough to resist the foreign enemies. Although Sha Guanghan's 30,000 soldiers have been reduced to 3,500, these 30,000 men have not left Fengying. Most of them are repairing water conservancy projects in Mochun County, so they are not afraid if a war really breaks out."

Boss Qian said, "The Marquis has already prepared for war. He is really far-sighted. Don't delay any more. Go back and ask the Marquis for instructions. I will wait for your news."

Shang Xi stood up from the chair and said, "Should I continue digging my tunnel? If I go out with Dong Ke, I will not be able to dig it."

Boss Qian said, "Before you leave, tell me what you want to say. I'll send someone to dig. I can't leave your sister and the children with nowhere to hide."

Shang Xi said: "Dig one for the Marquis' Mansion as well. My son will have to hide it when the time comes."

Boss Qian said, "As for your son, he comes and goes like the wind. It doesn't matter if there is a tunnel or not."

"That won't work."

Boss Qian said, "Go back and ask the Marquis for permission. Whether you want to dig a tunnel or a cellar, I will do it."

After hearing what the rich boss said, Shang Xi and Cheng Feng went back in a hurry.

Wan Lianxing was drinking tea with Huang Chenming in a good mood. When he saw the young couple coming back, he knew they came to see him for something.

"Go ahead."

Cheng Feng said: "Shang Xi and I went to look for Boss Qian."

"Well, let him take the hundred coins back to South City."

"Yes, but my sister is eight months pregnant and can't travel any longer."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "If you hurry on your way, you'll be foolish."

Cheng Feng also laughed: "Shang Xi and I tried to persuade them to leave, but they refused."

"It's better not to leave. It's not time to run. Why panic?"

Cheng Feng said, "I have discussed this with Boss Qian. There are 60,000 workers in Nancheng. Let 30,000 of them come and settle down in Fengying. If a war breaks out, they will be able to help with the extra people."

Wan Lianxing's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was the first time his eyes were so wide open: "30,000 people, can you come?"

Cheng Feng said: "Whether they can come depends on whether my uncle can give them a few acres of land."

"What about the second one?"

"Secondly, we need to let Shang Xi go back with Dong Ke. Everyone trusts Shang Xi, and with Shang Xi's mediation, these people came."
