Chapter 770 Secret Concern

The martial law in Northern Hubei City has an impact on all walks of life. Li Junxin has already notified the merchants in the Chamber of Commerce to be prepared. Except for the necessary grain stores and grocery stores, other inns, restaurants, etc. must strictly follow the requirements of the government.

"Dad, I don't understand. Haven't all the people outside been driven away? Why do we still have to impose martial law?" Li Hezhou couldn't understand.

Li Junxin said, "Are you stupid? At this time, I'm most worried about spies sneaking into the city. Besides, the weather is so hot, it would be nice for us to rest for a few days."

He is not worried about the impact on business. The main reason is that everyone is affected and no one feels unbalanced.

He was a little worried about the food problem and couldn't help but confirm with Li Hezhou again, "You said there was food in northern Hubei, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Although there is water in northern Hubei, who wouldn't worry about the harvest in such weather?

Li Hezhou nodded. "I also heard that there is a high-yield crop in northern Hubei now. Even if there is a drought, the harvest will not be less than other crops in normal weather."

Sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted this year, but they were planted in special proportions. Ordinary people rarely got any, and they were all given a gag order not to disclose the yield and planting details of these crops to the public.

Li Hezhou heard some news from Shen Qingman. Due to the recent drought, the supply of vegetables in Xiaonantun was temporarily cut off. He hadn't seen Shen Qingman for several days.

Li Junxin looked at him suspiciously, "Is there really such food?"

"Really? I've eaten it before and it tastes pretty good, much better than coarse grains." Li Hezhou remembered the taste of sweet potatoes and still had a lingering aftertaste.

Li Junxin was temporarily relieved and changed the subject, "You said before that the Shen family took good care of you. We have time tomorrow, so let's go visit them and thank them for taking care of you."

Li Hezhou's eyes lit up, "We should really go and thank them."

Great, he can finally deliver the things he prepared for Shen Qingman!

Li Junxin did what he said and took Li Hezhou to Huanxiyuan early the next morning.

However, when the two were on the road, Li Junxin saw the gifts prepared for the Shen family, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at Li Hezhou and asked, "Is it too expensive to give Jiao Xiao as a gift?"

The shark silk here is an extremely precious fabric, warm in winter and cool in summer. The Li family accidentally got a few pieces of it, but Chen was reluctant to use it herself.

Li Hezhou said confidently, "They can be said to have taught me how to survive in northern Hubei. Besides, your position as guild leader is also related to them. If it weren't for the Sixth Miss giving up her position, who knows who would have taken it."

There are six pieces of shark silk in the house. He took out three pieces. The three branches of the Shen family should at least get one or two pieces of material to make clothes for Shen Qingman.

She was unwilling to accept his feelings, but she couldn't refuse this kind of secret concern.

The inner garment made of shark silk is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is most suitable for people like her who often go out.

Li Junxin did not attach much importance to money. After hearing what he said, he thought about it and it made sense. The Shen family was not ignorant of the ways of the world. They gave him a valuable gift, and if they needed any help in the future, the Shen family would sincerely help.

"I didn't expect that you are now thinking things through so sensibly. The relationship with General Liang is indeed worth maintaining with the mermaid silk." Li Junxin said to Li Hezhou.

He didn't dare to give a gift to Liang Cheng and didn't have the means, but it would be much easier to give a gift to the Shen family.

Li Hezhou knew he had misunderstood, but he would not remind his father, so he just let him misunderstand!
