    "Master Cheng is right." It was Xie Sicun who spoke.  She didn't expect Xie Jiangbo to be one step ahead, but his idea was too bad. Please ask for mercy?  I'm afraid it's useless for anyone to plead for mercy now.  "Little sister, you are here too." Xie Jiangbo said in panic: "This time our Xie family is really in trouble." The two brothers and sisters turned to look at Cheng Zhong. Xie Mengting had already rushed to Kuaiji. What should the Xie brothers and sisters do next?  They all have no idea, now they can only place their hope on Cheng Zhong.  Cheng Zhong paced back and forth. The Xie family treated him well and were an indispensable part of the silk business. Cheng Zhong must find a way to help, but how?  This is not a simple matter, and it cannot be solved by Cheng Zhong relying on the experience of later generations.  "Miss Xie, how many days does it take for the grain team to set off from Huating to Kuaiji?" Cheng Zhong asked.  He knew that the Xie family's grain and rice business was managed by Xie Sicun, so she also knew the situation best.  "Generally, it takes six to seven days." Xie Sicun said: "If you travel overnight, the shortest estimate is five days. After all, mules and horses also need to rest and feed. If it is faster, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. What's more, because of the previous  The team transporting grain was robbed, and many carriages and horses have not returned yet. Now it is difficult for the carriage and horse dealers in the county to collect so many mules and horses. " Xie Sicun has already thought about this, and five days is already the best time.  An ideal situation.  "But five days is too late. There are only three days left before the deadline." Xie Jiangbo said anxiously.  Xie Sicun glared at his brother, blaming him for being too impatient.  "The mules and horses need to rest?" Cheng Zhong asked strangely: "What if we don't take the land route, but instead take the water route?" Indeed, the mules and horses need to rest, but ships do not need to rest!  It is even more convenient if you catch a tailwind.  Isn¡¯t it written in Li Bai¡¯s poem?  Thousands of miles to Jiangling in one day!  Water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is very developed, and waterways extend in all directions. Why doesn't the Xie family use water transportation to transport grain?  Xie Sicun had a wry smile on his face and said: "Water transportation is indeed faster than land transportation. There is a waterway from Huating to Kuaiji. It is not a headwind now, but the waterway transportation is controlled by the Cao Gang. In the past, although our Xie family and the Cao Gang did not interfere with each other,  However, due to trade disputes, there were minor disputes. My father also tried to smooth out the relationship between the two families, but the leader of the Cao Gang was very stubborn and refused my father without even showing his face. " Xie Sicun was helpless.  's shook his head.  The official grain management business is a fat job, and many people are watching it.  If the Xie family takes the management rights, it will certainly make many people jealous, including Caobang.  The cost of transporting grain by land is higher than that by water, and it also takes longer. Of course Xie Mengting thought about taking the water route, but Caobang simply disagreed. This time there was a problem with the official grain transportation of the Xie family. Caobang was happy to see the result and was eager for the Xie family.  If he is convicted and handed over the management rights of official food, how can he help?  "So, this road is blocked." Cheng Zhong murmured to himself: "Caobang, Caobang, why does it sound familiar?" Suddenly Cheng Zhong's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Lian  Yi! Lian Yi! "The Xie brothers didn't know why Cheng Zhong suddenly called their sister. Could it be that the six or seven-year-old girl had any good ideas?  "Brother, you called me?" Cheng Lianyi was playing outside. Hearing Cheng Zhong's cry, he ran in, his red face covered with sweat.  "Lian Yi, is the jade pendant I gave you two months ago still there?" Cheng Zhong asked anxiously.  "Here you are!" Cheng Lianyi proudly took off the jade pendant Ji Ying gave to Cheng Zhong that day from around his neck.  ¡°Brother Cheng, what are you¡ª¡± Xie Jiangbo asked doubtfully.  He didn't know what Cheng Zhong was doing in such a hurry to find this jade pendant at this time.  "This jade pendant should be given to Mr. Cheng by a girl, right? If Mr. Cheng doesn't like the other person, he shouldn't accept it. If he accepts it, he should keep it properly and shouldn't give it to others." Xie Sicun said.  I don't know why Xie Sicun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this jade pendant.  Cheng Zhong chuckled and said, "Miss Xie, you guessed wrong. This jade pendant is indeed a token, but the person who gave it to me is a grown man!" It has been two months since the danger at Sanguniang Mountain  After many months, Cheng Zhong had almost forgotten about that incident.  I originally thought that I would never meet that girl named Ji Ying again, at least Cheng Zhong didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but I didn't expect that now I would have to take the initiative to find him.  Cheng Zhong vaguely remembered what Ji Ying said that day: If something happens, you can take this jade pendant to Caobang to find Master Qi.  Listening to these words, this Qi Ye has a high status in the Cao Gang and should have some effect.  "I once saved a man who was being chased by Japanese pirates."He gave me this jade pendant and told me that if I have any trouble, I can take it to Caobang and find a man named Qi Ye.  "Cheng Zhong explained: "I was thinking, maybe the other party will help us this time because I have saved someone in their gang, but this is just my wishful thinking. I have no idea whether the other party is willing to help.  not sure.  " "Seventh Master?  !  Are you sure that person is talking about Master Qi?  "Xie Sicun suddenly said in surprise. "That should be it, right?  "Cheng Zhong was not sure. Ji Ying only said it once that day, and he didn't take it seriously. "Brother Cheng, when did this happen?  Why have I never heard you say that?  "Xie Jiangbo also asked curiously. Xie Sicun glared at him again and said, "What time is it now?  !  If you ask these questions, whether the other party is willing to help or not, it is worth a try.  Mr. Cheng, please help us give it a try. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, your great kindness will never be forgotten by the Xie family.  If the other party is really Master Qi, then there is really some hope.  "Xie Sicun said. "Don't say anything big.  "Cheng Zhong said: "We are originally both prosperous and disadvantaged.  I will definitely give it my all.  In addition, Miss Xie, can you prepare a gift for me?  " Cheng Zhong is unfamiliar with the Cao Gang, and is even afraid of it. These gangs will be regarded as underworld in later generations. The Cao Gang was born based on the transportation of water. It was originally some hard-working people who lived on the dock to resist the official uniform.  It was formed through exploitation and alliance. Later, as the status of water transportation became more and more important, the Cao Gang developed more and more rapidly. It even achieved legal status during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It was also the predecessor of the Qing Gang. These gangs were ruthless and ruthless.  Moody, who knows what will happen? But he has saved the people in their gang, even if the other party does not agree to his request, it will not harm his life, right? Cheng Zhong can only comfort himself.  nature.  "Xie Sicun said quickly. Even if the family wealth is gone now, Xie Sicun will not frown. The Xie family is already on the verge of life and death. As long as we can survive this crisis, are we still afraid that we will lose all our money in the future? Even if we can't make it back,  , at least we can save our lives. Cheng Zhong nodded and said: "We must be prepared for both.  It's best if Caobang agrees. If Caobang doesn't agree, then we must have emergency measures.  ¡± Xie Sicun said that who doesn¡¯t understand this truth? But she really had no choice at all, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t have come to seek help from Cheng Zhong. If Cheng Zhong hadn¡¯t said that he was related to the Tibetan gang, she would have almost despaired.  Where are the emergency measures? "Brother Cheng, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Time is running out now.  "Xie Jiangbo urged. For the first time, Xie Sicun felt that Xie Jiangbo's words were so beautiful. Cheng Zhong thought for a while and came up with a way to make the Xie brothers and sisters shine! Cheng Zhong is about to step on the big stage of history, traffic light  Please support!
