The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

　　 The next day.

　　 Zhuang Ming put the strategy he had set overnight, packed it into a kit, and bestowed it on the three.

　　 After the three people retreated.

　　 It's not noon.

　　 Liuhe came.

　　 "The son."

　　 Liuhe gave a salute and said, "The subordinates have important things, and they must go home."

　　 Zhuang Ming raised his brows and looked at Liuhe.

　　 Liu He has a beautiful face and a long stature. He is 36 years old this year, at the time of his prime. He was only in his early years and was conquered by Zhuang Ming. He has yet to marry a wife and have children.

　　 Liu He is good at physical fitness, has high abilities, and has always been sensitive.

　　 Before the murder of King Chen, after this incident, this group of people stayed in Qianlong Villa to rest.

　　 On the surface, it is called "Healing the wounds". In fact, this kind of action inevitably means that they will be temporarily restrained, so as to block the news and avoid causing disaster.

　　 Liu He always has a keen mind and can certainly take this into consideration, but this matter has not yet passed, and his injury has not healed, so he wants to leave. Why?

　　 "The son, Liu He is alone, without a wife and no children, but he was saved by someone in Huaibei in his early years and has not yet been reported."

　　 Liuhe looked solemn and said: "I heard that there are many people in the north of the Huaihe River, the disaster is serious, and many people have died due to the scorching heat and famine. Liuhe feels uneasy and wants to see his benefactor and help..."

　　 "North of the Huaihe River..."

　　 Zhuang Ming frowned slightly, he had also heard about this.

　　 Now it's summer.

　　 is just the summer of this year, which is even hotter than previous years.

　　 North of the Huai River, there has been drought.

　　 With time, the disaster became more and more serious.

　　 Such weather can kill many people and the crops will wither.

　　 Many people will die in summer, but this autumn harvest will be fruitless, and more people will starve to death in winter.

"Great."

　　 Zhuang Ming nodded slightly.

　　 In fact, in his mind, he thought about letting Liu He stay, telling the name, appearance, address, etc. of his savior, and using someone from the Zhuang firm to take in.

However, Liu He did not hesitate to kill the officials for the Zhuang family firm, risking his head to be beheaded, and with Lu He and others, fulfilled his entrustment... Now if he acts like this, it shows that Liu He cannot be trusted. Isn't it too chilling?

　　 As Song Tianyuan said, people's hearts are complicated and unpredictable, and the way of imperialism should be more thorough.

　　 Zhuang Ming was able to trust Liu He before allowing Liu He to do the ambush, and after this, he should be more trusting.

　　 "Thank you son." Liu He bowed and saluted.

　　 "Maybe something."

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and sighed: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people do not have a living. We do business only in the peaceful and prosperous times. In recent years, no matter what natural disasters, Zhuang's firm has always tried its best. Do not ask."

　　 As he said, Zhuang Ming took one thing and said, "This token, you bring it with you. I am going to use the name of Zhuang's firm to provide disaster relief in Huaiyin and Huaibei. You will take charge of the things over there."

　　 Liu He hurriedly said, "Lao Bai and Lord Lu have always dealt with this type of thing. Liu He is just a martial artist. How can he take on this important task?"

Zhuang Ming waved his hand: "Your mind is not worse than anyone else, but you are not good at words. This time it is considered to be a good exercise... In the future, the Zhuang family business will expand day by day. As a veteran, your position, and your responsibilities, It’s not just about drawing a sword."

　　 Liu He heard the words, and he gave a bow and said: "Follow the son's orders."

　　 Zhuang Ming suddenly asked: "When will you leave?"

　　 Liu He was busy responding: "Today afternoon."

　　 Zhuang Ming raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "You go and clean up first. At noon, come see me again."

　　 Liuhe is unknown, but he still bows.

　　——

　　 noon.

　　 Zhuang Ming took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, as if he was about to exhale the depression in his heart.

　　 As for the young dragon, after taking a plant of snow lotus, he swallowed a piece of precious jade, and immediately went to the skylight, breathing in the noon daylight.

　　 "My son, this is iced sour plum soup."

　　 Shuang Ling brought a bowl of sour plum soup, and cautiously shattered the bowl.

　　 is at noon in the summer, and it is drought in other places. This sour plum soup with ice is even more rare.

　　 Zhuang's firm spent a lot of manpower in the previous year, digging an ice cellar, deep in the shade of the ground, storing ice in winter for summer enjoyment.

　　 Zhuang Ming responded, took the bowl and took a sip, only to feel very cold. In the hot summer, it was very refreshing, and when he breathed out gently, it seemed to be cold.

　　 "What is the son calculating?"

"The drought north of the Huai River this year is more severe than in previous years. I just received news from the court of disaster relief." Zhuang Ming paused and said: "I saw the disaster so severe in the first place. One hundred thousand taels to help the victims, but the news came just now that the court issued only two hundred thousand taels."

　　 "Two hundred thousand taels?" Shuang Ling was startled.

"Two hundred thousand taels is also a huge sum of money, but it is much less than during the disaster relief in previous years. What's more, the disaster this year is heavier than in previous years." Zhuang Ming whispered: "From my guess, the court's treasury , There may be some problems. This may be the reason why the emperor tried to implement the New Deal... Moreover, the amount of money that has been exploited by officials and eaten layer by layer, how much can it be implemented? ."

　　 "The son means that more silver for disaster relief?" Frost Spirit asked like this.

　　 "Silly girl, you don't want to give more, you want to give less." Zhuang Ming shook his head.

　　 "Huh?" Frosty Ling showed a look of horror, and said: "The court's disaster relief is less than in previous years. Since the son has pity for the victims, why should he give less?"

　　 "Have you ever heard that trees attract the wind?"

　　 "I heard it."

"The court in charge of the world gave 200,000 taels of relief money, but we are just ordinary people, and we run some businesses, but we gave 100 taels of silver, which is equivalent to half of the money given by the court, and the face of the court, Where is it placed? In comparison, those families and other firms were compared to the dust by us..."

　　 "What does the son mean?"

"If the court is really lacking in the treasury, and we appear to be so rich and lose the face of the court, the reputation among the people will definitely be better, and it will overwhelm the court. In this way, guess the emperor, Will we be attacked? For example, to find an unreasonable charge, take the Zhuang's firm to enrich the treasury?"

　　 "The son is also..."

　　 "Perhaps thinking too far, it is unavoidable to have a sense of unreasonable worry, but, when you encounter problems, it is okay to look farther, at least this little thought is beneficial and harmless."

　　 Zhuang Ming sighed, and footsteps came from outside.

　　 With the perception of the young dragon, he had already heard that it was Liu He.

　　 "The son."

"Come in."

　　——

　　 Liu He enters the room, he is dressed in a robe, looks tall, and walks with ease.

　　 He wears a sword around his waist, and he has more baggage on his back.

　　 entered the room and saw him bowing.

　　 "There are no outsiders, you don't have to stick to etiquette."

　　 Zhuang Ming waved his hand, and took out a page of paper, which was filled with dense text.

　　 Liu He stepped forward busy and took it with both hands.

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "For the disaster north of the Huai River, the court allocated 200,000 taels, and I plan to donate 50,000 taels of silver to the government. In addition, in the name of the Zhuang's firm, I will use rice porridge to help the victims. stop."

　　 The implementation of porridge and rice to help the victims also requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.

　　Since half of the silver was subtracted from the surface, it was in the dark to use another method to relieve the victims.

　　 Liuhe heard the words, showing respect, and said: "The son has a kind heart and spent a huge amount of money to help the victims. It is really a saint's move... The son accumulates virtue and does good, and the people will remember it in their hearts and will pray for the son day and night, longevity and health."

　　 Zhuang Ming couldn't help but laughed, waved his hand, and said: "People are unpredictable, as the saying goes, Shengmien, Doumiqiu, these victims don't dislike the Zhuang family's business for too little, not to make trouble in it, it will be fine."

　　 Liuhe fell silent when he heard the words. He walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he also knew the darkness of people's hearts.

　　 Over the years, some victims of disasters, like ghosts, have no thoughts of good or evil in their hearts, only the thought of survival. In order to eat a bite of food, they use all means. How can they be grateful?

　　 "Okay. Over the years, the Chuang's firm has also made a lot of money in the Dongsheng Dynasty. Now it is just spending more money to make peace of mind."

Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "Whether you say kindness is good, it is actually selfishness, but I don't want to see the tragic situation of sorrow, but to feel better in my heart... Of course, by the way, earning a good reputation will benefit our Zhuang firm. There is no denying the future development and the reputation among the people."

　　 Sheng Mien, fighting against Mien.

　　 There are a lot of people in the world who are grateful and ungrateful, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com has always been a lot.

　　 The human heart is complicated, and the abyss is as deep as the sea.

　　 Zhuang Ming doesn't care about what accumulates yin and virtue to get blessings and what kinds of good causes get good results.

　　 Over the years, he has been used to seeing many people of all kinds in the world.

　　 Some people are punished for wrongdoing, and some people have gained fame and even benefit by doing good and accumulating virtue, but they are rewarded for good and evil.

　　 But he has also seen a lot of criminals who commit crimes and get away with it.

　　 has also seen good deeds accumulate virtue, but was avenged by the grace of others.

　　 There is a saying in the world that good is rewarded for good, and evil is rewarded for evil.

　　 also has a saying, called: murder and set fire to a gold belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses.

　　 Therefore, Zhuang Ming takes this lightly. His kindness is not to make others grateful, but to make himself feel better. That's all.

　　 But then again, the word blessing is not necessarily unreasonable.

　　 For example, if Zhuang Ming is in trouble in the future, maybe some people who have been relieved will recognize his identity and give him a bite of food.

　　 Of course, it is also possible that someone will be targeted because of this. After some time, someone will be ready to kidnap him and ask for a ransom from the Chuang's firm.

　　——

　　 Afternoon.

　　 Then someone came to report.

　　 "My son, Wang Chen ordered someone to send an invitation to host a banquet in Gaoyue Tower tonight to entertain the upper-class people in Fengcheng."

　　 "I see, go down."

　　 Zhuang Ming waved his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

　　 Once on the boat.

　　 Master Zhao's mansion last time.

　　 This is the third time.

　　 Anything related to King Chen must be a feast without a good feast.

　　 And he came back hungry for the first two so-called banquets.
