17 Preconceived ideas can be fatal (anything more than ten thousand words)
Han Huaiyi was silently hehe, Yu'er was staring at the sky-sky firelight on the Shijia Wharf.
After she found that the young master ran out and didn't come back, the girl put on a piece of clothes and ran to the dock. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the dock, she saw a fire ray on the Shi family, and the fire gradually soared into the sky.
The little girl contacted the young master's behavior and looked at the movements over there. She didn't know that this fire was probably released by the second young master.
She was shocked.
Shijia Wharf is so far away from here, the young master is so amazing!
But what about the young master?
Yu'er looked at the water desperately. This girl was so smart that she decided that the young master had swam over.
And based on the fire, she estimated that the young master should be on the way back, and then she found that the young master's shoes were placed at the stone staircase where he boarded the boat.
Oh, there are still pants under your shoes. Is the young master going naked?
Zhou Yuer was immediately confused. She was going to welcome the young master.
Gradually, there were some screams from the Shi family. It seemed that they had finally discovered it, but who could save such a big storm?
Crazy, crazy.
The dog is exhausted.
Han Huaiyi finally returned to his own dock. He gasped and climbed up the stone stairs where he boarded the boat. Then he wiped his body with his shorts and quickly walked to the warehouse in his shoes.
After hiding behind the door, Yu'er who had been watching here find the young master's figure, his heart instantly felt relieved.
She quickly went back to bed and lay down carefully while listening.
Not long after, the young master tiptoed back and lay down, and she didn't dare to say anything.
But at this moment, Zhou Ada's snoring suddenly stopped, and the old man got up in a daze and walked out. He then shouted: "It's amazing, it's a fire!"
He rushed back to the warehouse excitedly and shouted, "Yu'er, get up quickly, the Shi family has caught fire, ah! Who are you?"
Han Huaiyi pretended to wake up and lay on the ground without lights, yelled at him: "What are you calling me? Young Master, can't I sleep in the warehouse if I drink too much?"
"What about my fish, what about my fish." Zhou Ada came up nervously and touched his bed. The naked Han Huaiyi was panicked, what are you doing?
Zhou Yuer hurriedly agreed, "Dad, what's wrong? I'm here."
Then she got up and lighted the light. She found that the young master was holding the quilt with his hair disheveled, staring at his father with a blazing look on his face. His father squatted beside him in embarrassment. Zhou Yuer saw the strange scene and wanted to laugh.
But then she remembered the meaning behind her father when she pestered the young master and asked her, and she felt a little shy.
Seeing that his daughters were all lying down in their clothes, Zhou Ada knew that he was thinking about it again.
He tried hard to find a topic to change the embarrassment and said, "Young Master, it's amazing. The Shi family has burned, and the fire has soared into the sky."
"Oh?" Han Huaiyi said hurriedly: "Then go and have a look."
He asked Yu'er to turn around and put on his clothes himself. Zhou Yu'er heard the young master and his father's natural gossip about the situation of the Shi family. She knew about it and thought that I couldn't say I knew what was going on.
At this time, Zhou Ada asked strangely: "Young Master, why are your hair wet?"
"I drank too much before and fell to the riverside. Otherwise, I would have left early, so why would I sleep here?" Han Huaiyi said silly, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Yuer knew what she was going on when she fell asleep.
But Zhou Yuer continued: "Yes, the young master has drunk too much before."
Zhou Ada didn't think much when he heard this. After all, for him, Han Huaiyi took it out for a few kilometers in the middle of the night and swam back and forth, and the fire was incredible.
When Han Huaiyi heard Zhou Yuer helping him, he was stunned and thought that something was wrong with this girl.
He looked up and Yu'er's eyes dodged a little.
Han Huaiyi immediately understood that his actions should have been seen through by this girl, but he said nothing and turned around and walked out with Zhou Ada.
Yu'er hurriedly followed the young master and his father.
There is a raised mudflat in the middle of the Han family's wharf and the Shi family's wharf, but the view is clear.
The three of them stood on the dock and saw that the sky was red there. The fire burned the mighty fleet of Shi family that Han Huaiyi saw during the day like torches.
But this is not surprising.
As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless.
These two most common essential things in ordinary people's lives are extremely terrible once they show their power.
After a dry winter wooden boat, it is connected because it is convenient for repair.
This is like the Battle of Red Cliff back then.
Hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops could not stop a fire from the south, let alone the few hundred wooden boats of the Shi family.
When the wind blows the fire inside, the rising temperature accelerates the drying of more outer wood, and at the end the flame can lick the boat away with a roll of flame!
When the wood turns into charcoal, the evaporated water vapor at high temperature actually has a secondary combustion effect.
So as long as the fire is not extinguished at the beginning, the situation will be completely unsuccessful when the fire spreads.
Shi Jintao, who was at home, heard the bad news. When he arrived at the dock, he was desperate to find that the stone foundation beside the dock with high temperature was cracked. Who dared to save it?
It’s over my canal transportation!
Shi Jintao's hands and feet were cold and he immediately thought of the canal transportation task in the second half of the year.
He grabbed the manager of his house in anger and asked sternly: "I must remind you to prevent fire and fire. How did you do it? I came here the day before yesterday and took care of you to separate these ships and not to lean too tightly. How did you agree to me?"
His manager was pale and could not answer, but in fact he was taking sufficient protection.
He is not allowed to have any sparks within the dock!
After the boss took care of him, he had already made arrangements and prepared to disperse some of the repaired wooden boats tomorrow.
Who knows...
Tonight, besides him, there are only two friends left at Shijia Wharf.
But the three of them slept very heavily after drinking, so when they came out, the fire on the outer side and the fire in the middle were already connected.
People working on the dock are in great humidity, so it is normal to drink some wine, but how dare he tell his boss about this now?
Such a huge fire alarmed half of Yangzhou City.
The Han family naturally got the news.
After Han Huaizhong, who was woken up by Uncle Chen, learned about this situation, he said in shock: "Is this true?"
"Owner, it's true. You'll know if you come out and take a look. It's all popular that day."
"Who told you about this news? Did you?" Han Huaizhong suddenly asked, and Uncle Chen shook his head and sighed: "The second young master doesn't seem to have come back."
Huaizhong got up, walked to the courtyard and looked at the north of the city. He found that there was indeed red on the other side.
He immediately ordered Mr. Chen: "Hurry and send someone to the dock to take care of Zhou Ada and ask him to take it as a warning."
"I'll go now." When Uncle Chen went over to ask someone to arrange things, Han Huaizhong stood in the yard and thought, the Shi family's boat was burning, it was really God's help to my family.
Because of this, his plan will be even less passive unless the Shi family wants to delay the canal transportation.
Han Huaizhong thought of his younger brother immediately.
Because after he had a few chats with Huai Yishen before, the kid went out and had not come back yet.
But Han Huaizhong thought about it again and then laughed.
No one knows a brother as good as the elder brother.
Although Han Huaiyi was fierce in the past, it was just a means on the street.
Huaiyi has become much more sensible these days, but if that kid can understand the root of the struggle between the two families and then set fire to the Shi family's retreat.
Han Huaizhong felt that Han Huaiyi didn't have this vision yet, and he would not have such a kind of heart and heart.
Actually, let alone Han Huaiyi, Shi Jintao, who is ruthless in his work, has not yet reached this point after all the extra-plate moves he has used.
Anyway, no matter what, something happened to the Shi family is a good thing for the Han family.
Huaizhong turned around and went to the back hall to put three incense sticks on his father's tablet, and whispered: "Father, the way of heaven is good. My brother was sensible and got half of the canal contract. Who knew that the Shi family's ship actually burned..."
After returning from the work, Chen Bo stood silently behind him.
Han Huaizhong turned around and said to him, "Uncle Chen, it's God's will. I don't worry much."
"What is the eldest young master planning to do?" Uncle Chen asked.
As a confidant old man in the family, Mr. Chen certainly knew that the Shi family should not take the contract that the contract was rejected in the afternoon seriously.
Han Huaizhong sighed: "Where is me, I first want to see Huaiyi's methods and then hit him so that he can understand the sinisterness of the mall. He woke up by himself, although it was after the contract was signed."
"The second young master was not doing his job before, so it was good to be like this. People always have to take their time." Uncle Chen did not believe in the "hidden story" of the prodigal son.
Whoever believes is stupid, Han Huaiyi only has a big face and thinks that he can cleanse his innocence.
"Yes, so I'm still very happy." Han Huaizhong immediately talked about the drama of the meat with Uncle Chen.
He told Uncle Chen: "The idea I was hiding was to simply take the contract. Then he tied the ship and contract at home and sold it. In this way, the Shi family would admit it if he refused. Could he publicly say that he would cheat my family?"
This was the first time that Uncle Chen heard about the eldest son’s thoughts. He was shocked when he heard this: “Master, why would you sell Xinyihe’s ship?”
"This is a strategy that Gao Yuming and I have discussed for a long time. The situation is unstable. After the Yellow River is diverted, foreigners and boxers will not stop in the north. He can do it even if the Shi family wants to do it, but anyway, the higher the price will be. And my Han family will save it for the time being after recovering the funds."
"Save?"
"Uncle Chen, have you ever calculated the calculation? The Han family will only pay for money when doing shipping again, and the silver price is rising wildly. In the early years of Daoguang, one tael of silver was exchanged for one tael of money, and in the Xianfeng period, one tael of silver could be exchanged for two thousand citations! And now, one tael of silver can be exchanged for three thousand five! And it is still rising!"
Han Huaizhong immediately asked Uncle Chen: "What business can make money through this kind of price increase? Nowadays, let's be more stable first."
It is really unreasonable to think that one is self-righteous.
The prodigal son preconceived the idea that his elder brother who loved him was kind and honest, but he didn't know that since Han Huaizhong could take the lead in this family, how could he be an incompetent person?
Huai Zhong had already thought of what he thought of.
However, Huaizhong's decision still conflicts with this guy's idea.
Han Huaiyi didn't know these things yet. This guy was thinking about how to convince his elder brother to agree to the seller's role.
