After watching Du Lingfeng leave, Xie Xian returned to the house.
Looking at the others packing their luggage under Zhou Tie's command, he seemed a little melancholy.
He was given a head start as soon as he entered the city, and in less than half an hour he had a rough understanding of Haiyuan City.
The Lu family is so powerful that everyone in the city is depending on them for their livelihood, so they naturally have spies all over the city.
To some extent, it is very similar to Taoyuan County, and this situation is naturally a bit bad.
I'm afraid the situation is much more difficult than I thought.
After everyone had packed up, they gathered together and people were posted to guard the area around the room.
After all, we are unfamiliar with the place, and if the walls have ears, it will be a big trouble.
Seeing everyone present, Xie Xian said, "Everyone, the situation in Haiyuan City is beyond my imagination."
"When you go out, you must be careful to hide and make sure you don't get spotted. If you reveal your true identity, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Haiyuan City."
"I will write to the master immediately and send someone back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Zhou Tie asked, "Old Xie, what did Du Lingfeng say to you just now?"
Xie Xian showed a helpless look on his face: "The Lu family has already covered the sky with one hand in Haiyuan City, and the government is in collusion with them."
"But words are not enough. I will go to the Lu family in person in two days."
"We are outsiders. The city must be extremely closed in this situation. Any outsiders will be under caution."
"Our people may not be able to move forward."
After Xie Xian said this, everyone else fell silent and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
We are all from Taoyuan County.
I know this situation all too well.
What is Taoyuan County doing?
Fang Zhengyi did almost everything that could get him killed, including tax evasion, illegal road permit making, kidnapping of traveling merchants, reconstruction beyond regulations, and self-made military equipment.
According to this statement, the Lu family is equivalent to the master!
If this is the case, then many things will be difficult to handle.
Be careful when going out.
Seeing that morale had suddenly taken a hit, Xie Xian encouraged them, "Don't worry too much, after all, there shouldn't be anyone braver than me!"
At least no one dares to make weapons privately...
Qian Desheng had the look of a bystander who didn't know the truth. He looked at Xie Xian and then at everyone else.
Hesitantly, he said, "I think, now that we have figured out the Lu family's location, can't we just send someone to steal their account books?"
"The Lu family's business is so big that they must rely on account book management, and they even have more than one set of account books."
“As long as we have the ledger, all our problems will be solved.”
Xie Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "You are right, I think so too, but the situation is unclear now, so don't act rashly."
"Everything will be discussed after I enter the Lu family!"
..........
Two days later, Du Lingfeng arrived on time.
Xie Xian had already finished his rest and was waiting inside. The two of them didn't exchange any pleasantries before rushing to Lu's house.
On the way, Du Lingfeng took the initiative to ask, "Brother Xie, how was your trip in Haiyuan City these past two days?"
"Yes, this place is not inferior to Jianjiang." Xie Xian smiled. He had indeed strolled around the city a lot in the past two days.
Government, you can’t say government.
It should be said that the Lu family really managed Haiyuan City very well.
The shops everywhere are exquisitely decorated.
“This place is nice, but I always feel like something is missing.”
"Oh? What's missing?" Du Lingfeng asked.
"Poor people." Xie Xian looked at the roadside: "I am surprised that there are no poor people here."
"Brother Du, I've been to the capital, and I can say that poor people can be found everywhere. But where are the poor people in Haiyuan City?"
Xie Xian paused and continued, "You and I are both businessmen. You should know that things are valuable because they are rare. This is the same for everything in the world."
"Things that everyone can see are often of little value. Only invisible things are truly valuable. Brother Du, why is there such a scene in Haiyuan City?"
Xie Xian has traveled far and wide and seen a lot.
The rich and poor of the people can be seen at a glance not only from their clothes but also from their mental state.
This situation is obviously not normal. Even though Taoyuan County is very wealthy, there are still poor people.
As a relative concept, rich and poor are more likely to be poor than rich people anywhere in the world. This is certain.
Hearing this, Du Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he sighed softly and said, "Brother Xie is really very considerate. I didn't expect you to care about this kind of thing."
"Yes, those who can appear on the streets are relatively wealthy people. Of course there are poor people, but they are just invisible."
"Some of them were sent to join the Salt Gang to make salt outside the city, while others were hidden in various corners of Haiyuan City."
"To survive in the cracks, it would be more appropriate to say that they are rats in the gutter rather than the common people."
"You might be able to see them if someone is dumping swill at night."
Xie Xian didn't comment, just raised his eyebrows, but his heart started beating faster again.
Seeing him silent, Du Lingfeng also felt emotional and took the initiative to comfort him: "Brother Xie, you may not like it here, in fact, I don't like it either."
"But you must not show it when you see Master Lu."
"We hit it off right away. I really consider you a friend."
"There are a lot of leftovers in Fenghualou every night, which are given to the poor. You even sorted the leftovers and arranged them neatly. I have never seen this anywhere else, so I know you are a good person."
"Who doesn't want to be a good person? But this is the way the world is. Poor people are not considered human beings. Why do you have to be so pedantic?"
