Looking at Ge Yunfei's surprised look, Li Chengfang feels much better. He was also shocked when he first got the order. A group of little guys can silently cooperate with the actions of their brother and sister at this moment. How can other people's children be so good?
"Do you feel incredible? The legendary industry transformation happened to them. Due to the demand of the domestic situation, the Candy House Alliance changed from making and selling pastries and candies to selling seafood. They used all means to assist Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Now you know why I am here, right? "
Li Chengfang asks Ge Yunfei with a smile.
Ge Yunfei takes a deep breath and nods, "I know, I know. Even if the alliance doesn't send the order, Jinxiu Grocery will follow their footsteps. Otherwise, before Zhang Xiaobao gets angry, they will start to revenge first. A group of children will not follow any rules when they take revenge, right?"
"I think so. Who can guarantee that they won't use their identity as inspectors to ask the local government to cooperate when they find that they have no better way? At that time, even if you take the case to the emperor, the result will not change.
According to His Majesty's previous words, when investigating the officials, they will say, 'Why didn't they arrest other officials but you?' When facing businessmen, they will probably say, 'Why didn't they bully other businessmen but you?' "
When Li Chengfang says it, he feels very interesting. A group of lawless children like Xiaobei care about the Tang Empire very much, while those honest people may think about something else.
Seeing that Thunder Logistics and Dongting Aquatic Products are involved, Ge Yunfei asks, "Can my business help?"
"Maybe we don't need your business this time." Li Chengfang says uncertainly.
Just as he finishes his words, a servant of the Ge family walks in quickly from outside the hall with a piece of paper in his hand. He glances at Li Chengfang and then at his master, waiting there.
"Just say it directly. There are no outsiders here." Ge Yunfei doesn't want to ask Li Chengfang to go out, and it is also impolite to leave by herself. Thinking that there are no secrets to hide recently, she orders the servant who comes in.
The servant nodded and flattened the paper in his hand as much as possible. He read, "Sister Yun Fei from Splendid Grocery, I am Xiao Bei. I just got the news that my brother and sister decided to launch a full-scale attack on Duo Food at noon three days later.
This attack was a probing attack and not an all-out attack. They would only use the advantage of artillery to destroy the enemy's frontline troops at the border and force the enemy to retreat. They would also adopt the strategy of scorched earth and cleared fields.
Big Brother has already started to order the originally arranged warehouse to transport supplies to the front line. I want to tell Big Sister that when transporting supplies, whether it is by water or by land, there is a possibility that the transportation means will be damaged.
There are tools in Sister's Splendid Miscellaneous Goods, right? I hope you can provide support along the way and provide free help to the transport team. I will open up the Candy House on the side of the road to provide them with a temporary place to rest.
If this arrangement will cause losses to Splendid Embroidery, we will transfer the money to Elder Sister through the Great Tang Bank. Elder Sister only needs to provide proof of the losses.
Also, we want to temporarily stop the sale of cakes and starch sweets and temporarily turn them into seafood products. We need tools to make and process them. Now, send an order to Elder Sister, and provide us with tools according to the order. We will pay when the goods are delivered.
In addition, ask Splendid Miscellaneous Goods to release the news that my brother and sister did not use Chang Pingcang's food reserves in this war, so that the people do not have to worry about the price of food rising too high. Okay, that's what I mean. "
The servant of the Ge family finished reading up to here and was in a very good mood. The intelligence actually said a lot of detailed things, and even revealed when the war would be launched. This showed that his master's position in Xiao Bei's heart was very high.
Li Chengfang was indeed a little jealous. He said in a sour tone, "The war will start at noon three days later? I don't know if my Thunderbolt Logistics can help. I think a lot of supplies are already on the way. "
What he meant was that when the supplies were transported, they did not ask Thunderbolt Logistics and found someone else to transport them. He did not even know when the war would start.
Ge Yunfei hesitated for a moment. For a moment, she did not know how to comfort the other party. This kind of information could only be obtained by Xiao Bei and the others, and it could be easily spread out. Whoever got the information would be trusted by Xiao Bei and the others. At this time, it was not good to comfort others, as it would make others feel that you were acting innocent.
Just as she was organizing her words, someone came in from outside. This time, it was a servant of Li Chengfang's family. He was accompanied by someone from the Ge family.
"Little Tu, what's the matter?" Li Chengfang looked at the person who came in and asked.
"Replying to Master, my family's telegraph machine just received a telegram from Xiao Bei and the others from Jiannan Road. Do you know …"
"Read it!" Li Chengfang ordered in a carefree voice. In an instant, he looked at the pitch-black night outside and suddenly realized that the sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, the sun was shining, and the night wind that whistled past also became gentle.
Ge Yunfei smiled and did not say anything. She could understand Li Chengfang's feelings. Without this telegram, he probably would not be able to sleep soundly at night.
The servant of the Li family did not know that the master had just secretly crossed swords with the other party and had almost lost to the point of crying. When he heard the order, he loudly read it.
"Boss Li Chengfang? Today, we just received information that a large number of people from Thunderbolt Logistics have appeared in Suzhou. Have you arrived in Suzhou? Then you must go and see Elder Sister Yunfei.
Let me tell you something. When we were eating dinner just now, we received definite information. Three days later, at noon, we will begin the war. The logistics and transport teams used will all be my family's own strength. The majority of the dishes in the restaurants will be stopped, and the supply of grain wine will also be reduced. However, there will be more fruit wine.
Elder Brother and Elder Sister did not use your logistics. We guessed that they wanted to let you operate as usual to stabilize the flow of goods in the country. This decision was originally not a problem, but we thought of a problem.
This problem is that we saw a railway route map in elder brother and Elder Sister's study. It has already been designed, but no one has been used to repair it.
We have accurate information. To build that railway, a direct manpower of 1.2 million was used. Of which, 200,000 were Great Tang people. They were responsible for assisting and were not in dangerous places. The remaining one million were all captured, cheated, bought, and hired from other places.
More than 376,000 people died in the construction of the railway. On average, for every one li, that is, 500 meters, 37 people died. In addition, there were 125,000 people who were seriously injured. The serious injuries we are talking about are those who have broken arms or legs, as well as those who are blind. If they can be treated, they are not considered serious injuries.
The remaining people also need to rest. Otherwise, they will not be able to continue working. Thus, there is a shortage of manpower. In addition, there is not enough steel for the railway. Right now, most of it is used to make bullets and artillery shells.
We thought about it and felt that it was a waste for your logistics to be placed there. Because you are usually responsible for long-distance transport, you have your own teams for short-distance transport.
Thus, we discussed with Dong Long, the owner of the Wanliu Trading Company in Jiannan Province's Yizhou Prefecture. We had them organize people to follow behind the army. You can cooperate with them and help transport some things.
When there are captives on the battlefield ahead, you can kidnap them together. You don't have to settle with my brother and sister first. You just don't let the captives die. When my brother and sister are almost done, we will need to build the railway. You can send the captives here to work. At that time, according to the cost paid by each side, we will give you a certain amount of authorization for the carriage.
If you agree, return the call and start working. There is one more thing that you have to keep secret first. The number of captives captured may not be the same as the ones in Tufan. There may be many on the sea. If you can unite with other merchants and form a large fleet, you can go to other places to deceive some people while you are fetching the captives.
Well, that's all. Everything will be clear in the morning three days later. Let me remind you, no matter what you see that morning, don't get excited. Everything is under my control. "
The servant of the Li family stopped reading and then said, "It's over."
After listening to the servant, Li Chengfang and Ge Yunfei fell silent at the same time. They were thinking about the matter in the telegram. There was too much content in the telegram, so they had to carefully consider it.
After a while, Li Chengfang ordered, "Return the call and say that I agree. We will listen to the arrangements."
After the servant left, Li Chengfang turned to Ge Yunfei and said, "I didn't expect that so many people would die or be injured from building the railway. Is this the reason why Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't agree to use the people of the Tang Empire? If the people of the Tang Empire really couldn't bear this kind of pain, what would they do if they were left with disabilities? "
Ge Yunfei clasped her hands together. "It sounds like a number. If we use the people of the Tang Empire, it is estimated that 500,000 families will be directly affected. It's too scary. I have decided to listen to Xiao Bei's arrangements. As for the temporary losses, it doesn't matter. My family can still bear it.
I'm really afraid that Zhang Xiaobao will use this kind of ruthlessness on me. It can't be said that his hands are stained with blood. He practically swam out of a sea of blood. He walks on the stairs piled up by corpses all the way to the sky. If not, he walks down to discuss matters with the King of Hell. "
Li Chengfang nodded and recalled the contents of the telegram. He said, "What does Xiao Bei mean by the sea? Could it be that there are troops on the sea to fight Duo Shi? In the morning three days later, what news can there be? He told me not to be excited. I am very excited now, but I can't explain it clearly. "
"Wait and see. Three days will pass quickly. The Alliance used to react quickly, but this time, they haven't shared any information. We know some things, but we can't tell others. I won't arrange a guest room for you today. You should hurry to Haiyan County as soon as possible to avoid delaying the proper business. "
Ge Yunfei couldn't think of anything at all. The few steps in front of her were like a thick fog, making people feel fear of the unknown. She couldn't stop and could only follow orders and rush forward.
"Okay, I will leave now." Li Chengfang didn't dare to delay. He got up and walked out, indicating that Ge Yunfei didn't need to send him off. When he reached the door, he said to Ge Yunfei, "We need to strengthen cooperation in the future. I plan to go to Jiannan Circuit personally."
"I … I will go too." Ge Yunfei meant to call her when she left.
