At this time, Liang Dazhuang quickly walked into the meeting hall and said respectfully: "Young master, Dayong merchant Zan will not stay here to ask for a visit."

When Hu Xiaotian heard that Zanbuliu came, he couldn't help but smile. He said that Zanbuliu was a typical speculative businessman. Last time he went to Kangdu to lobby himself, trying to make a fortune in the extraordinary period when Dakang was short of clothing and food. Unfortunately, his suggestions and ideas could not solve the fundamental problem of Dakang, and Dakang Emperor Long Xuanen also had other plans. Since he met Zanbuliu in Kangdu last time, the troubles Hu Xiaotian encountered came one after another. He had no time to consider Zanbuliu's proposal, and the situation he faced was not allowed to consider. Now Zanbuliu has come to him again. Businessmen are profit-oriented, and Zanbuliu is no exception. He must have something to do when he comes to find himself.

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Please come in, Mr. Zan."

Liang Yinghao, Xiong Tianba and others said goodbye and left. Not long after, Zan did not stay at Liang Dazhuang's guidance and came to the meeting hall.

Zan Buli smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Sir Hu, are you okay?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled and stood up to greet him, "Mr. Zan, what wind has blown you?"

Zan said happily: "The northwest wind is not only the northwest wind, but also the white hair wind. It's very cold outside."

Hu Xiaotian quickly invited him to the brazier and sat down: "Mr. Zha, come and roast the fire, Dazhuang, go and prepare the wine and food. Today I will talk to Mr. Zha with you, and you will never return without getting drunk."

Zan Buliu laughed and said, "No, don't worry, I will say a few words to Lord Hu and leave."

Hu Xiaoang winked, and Liang Dazhuang immediately went out to prepare.

Zan Buliu stretched out his hands and tossed and turned on the brazier, sighing: "The Yong River is tide and cold, and it is even more uncomfortable than the cold in the north. I feel cold in the cracks of the bones."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan comes from the north?"

Zan Buli nodded and said, "Businessmen are all over the world. Wherever there is business, they have to go. After meeting Lord Hu in Kangdu last time, I missed the matters we discussed. I went to the north to organize food sources and try to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity. I made a fortune. However, I heard that Lord Hu was going to Xichuan soon after. When I returned from Moli, I heard that Lord Hu was coming to Dongliang County. Things in the world were plaguing people, and plans were not as good as changes. I originally planned to work with Lord Hu to show off my strength in Kangdu, but I didn't expect that Lord Hu would come here."

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "It disappointed Mr. Zan."

Zan Buliu laughed and said, "Things of the world are unpredictable, and the current situation of Dakang is not something that Lord Hu can control. I am probably too optimistic about the situation. In fact, even if my business can go smoothly, Dakang is just a drop in the bucket."

Hu Xiaotiandao: "Although it cannot change the fate of a country, it can change the fate of a city."

Zan Buli smiled and said, "I came here for this time."

Hu Xiaotiandao: "Will Mr. Zan be interested in turning Dongliang County into a thoroughfare? I can give Mr. Zan the best conditions."

Zan Buliu did not respond to Hu Xiaotian's question. His eyes turned to the territory map on the wall and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu seems to be always paying attention to the situation in the world."

Hu Xiaotiandao: "I take every step carefully when surviving in the cracks, and I must figure out the movements around me."

Zan Buliu said, "Mr. Hu's current situation is indeed not good." He stood up and came to the map, pointing to the location of Dongliang County: "Although Dayong returned Dongliang County to Dakang, Dongliang County bordered Dakang on three sides, and there was Yongjiang behind it. There was no natural danger to defend. Once a war broke out between Dakang and Dakang, Dakang would probably be Dongliang County first. Dakang gave Dakang a city on the surface, but I was actually a hot potato. If Dakang was stationed, once the fight started, these garrisons would inevitably be eliminated like dumplings, so this is also the reason why Dakang had never stationed his troops."

Hu Xiaotian nodded. He realized that Zan Buliu came today was definitely not an ordinary business. Zan Buliu had Xinglongxing, which was famous all over the world, and was the leading wealthy businessman in Dayong. Ordinary interests could never be impressed. There are many ambitions in Chinese history, and Lu Buwei, who is a rare commodity, is such a typical figure. Is Zan Buliu in front of him also a similar character?

Zan Buliu said: "I heard that Lord Hu is recruiting troops. After coming to Dongliang County, an army of 3,000 people has been formed."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan is very well-informed."

Zan Buli smiled and said, "I also know that most of these 3,000 people were from the victims who were smuggled from Dakang. The first thing Lord Hu did when he came to Dongliang County was to disband the local guards organized by himself."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Because of this incident, I am still criticized by the people of Dongliang County."

Zan Buliu said: "Mr. Hu is a man of great vision and is really wise to disband the escort team. Most of the people in Dongliang County are directed to Dayong. How could the guards collected from the people of Dongliang County contribute to Dakang? It was precisely because you saw this that you made such a decisive decision."

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Mr. Zan seems to know me very well. So what is my real thought?"

Zan Buliu said: "You should be completely disappointed with Dakang and are unwilling to join Dayong, so you want to establish yourself in Dongliang County to achieve your great cause."

Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "I don't have that great ambition, Mr. Zan is joking." He cannot repay his absolute trust in Zan Buliu. He must first figure out what Zan Buliu's real purpose is.

Zan Buliu said goodbye at this time, which surprised Hu Xiaotian. This guy analyzed the situation and was about to leave without even saying the purpose of coming? Could it be that Zan Buliu used this method to deliberately arouse his curiosity? Hu Xiaotian tried to help Liu: "Mr. Zan, don't rush to leave. The wine and food are ready, and leave after dinner."

Zan Biao smiled and said, "I won't leave here in the past two days, and I will definitely come to bother Lord Hu. As for noon, I have already agreed to my friend and can only say goodbye first."

When Hu Xiaotian heard that he had an appointment, he did not force him to stay and sent Zanbuli out. Although he was curious about which friend he was, he still endured and didn't ask any questions.

After Zan Buliu left, Hu Xiaotian asked Liang Yinghao to follow him to see where he went. After a simple meal, he asked Visa to go to Tongzi Hall to see. The weather suddenly became cold these two days, and more than 500 children were taken in Tongzi Hall. I don’t know what their situation was. Most of these children were unattended, and a considerable number of them were orphans.

Tongzitang is not far from the yamen where Hu Xiaotian is. In fact, Hu Xiaotian reduced the yamen that he passed by by half, and the rooms he freed up were used to accommodate these children.

The north wind was biting, bringing waves of wet and cold water vapor in the Yongjiang River. There were many people who came spontaneously to deliver food outside the Tongzi Hall. Although the people of Dongliang County mostly opposed Hu Xiaotian's acceptance of refugees, they mostly agreed to establishing a Tongzi Hall and hosting these poor children. Recently, many people have proposed to adopt the children here. Because the situation is unclear, Hu Xiaotian has not yet agreed to their request.

Visa comes here almost every day, and the children are already very familiar with her. When they see Visa coming, they will gather around them immediately, calling Visa sister affectionately. Hearing the cheerful shouts of the children and their innocent smiles, Visa couldn't help feeling sad. She held this little hand and touched that little face, and loved these children very much.

Hu Xiaotian saw Visa surrounded by children, but no one cared about it. He smiled and shook his head, walked into the courtyard alone, and heard a clear voice saying: "This word is called "people, one stroke and one stroke, one stroke, one stands tall, one person should be strong and independent. Add a horizontal line to be a big character. One day you will grow up, and one horizontal line to be a heavenly character. When you grow up, you must be a man who stands tall..."

Hu Xiaotian was attracted by the sound, but saw a young man in a blue Confucian shirt in the lobby ahead teaching a group of children to read. He must be equivalent to a volunteer in modern society. Hu Xiaotian had never seen this person when he came here before.

Not far behind the young man, a young woman wearing a common man was looking at him affectionately, with a bamboo basket in her hand.

The young man discovered Hu Xiaotian first. He smiled politely at Hu Xiaotian. At this time, his class had been finished and said to the children: "You guys go and play!"

The children stood up together, bowed respectfully to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu!"

Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that the man's surname was Zhu.

The young man surnamed Zhu walked towards Hu Xiaotian with a smile and clasped his fists and said, "Hello, Lord Hu!"

Hu Xiaotian smiled and returned the favor to him: "I don't seem to have seen my brother in the past."

The man said, "I'm here to play Zhu Guanqi, a local from Dongliang County, and she is my wife Hong Lingxue."

Hu Xiaotian glanced at Hong Lingxue, Hong Lingxue smiled faintly, and then his eyes returned to her husband Zhu Guanqi, full of infinite love.

Zhu Guanqi said: "Mr. Hu is kind-hearted and able to set up a Tongzi Hall in Dongliang County and save these children from water and fire. It is really a merit."

Hu Xiaotian said modestly: "It's not a big thing with immeasurable merits. It's a pity that I have limited abilities and only these are the only things I can do."

Zhu Guanqi said: "If every official from Dakang thought like Lord Hu, Dakang would not have fallen to the point he is today." He bowed to Hu Xiaotian. When Hong Lingxue followed her husband to leave, she suddenly covered her lower abdomen and bit her cherry lips tightly. In an instant, her pretty face became bloodless, and cold sweat fell from her forehead.

When Zhu Guanqi saw his wife suddenly turned into this, she was shocked and exclaimed: "What's wrong with you, Lingxue?"
