The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The old man hesitated even more.

He was reluctant to believe the young man in front of him who didn't look like a good person.

Subconsciously, I turned around and wanted to discuss it with someone. But when someone is right in front of you, it’s not easy to talk secretly.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, That's good. You go to the village to inquire about the situation first, and then we'll talk if you think it's appropriate.

Having said that, Zhao Chuanxin did not intend to let these people leave.

My arms can't hold my thighs, so I have to keep them even if I don't.

The old man had no choice but to enter the village packed with his family. His expression was no different from that of a wolf entering a tiger's mouth.

Zhang Daquan curled his lips: Look at them, as if we want to harm them. It is their blessing to stay in Lugangling Village. By the way, to pass on the salary, why do you keep them?

Daqun, do you think Lugang Ridge is big?

Zhang Daquan was stunned: The village is not big, but Lugang Ridge is big!

In fact, Lugangling was planned as a city in later generations.

The city now will be nothing in the future.

Zhao Chuanxin stood on the kennel next to him and pointed at the open and rolling mountains on both sides: Look, it's so wide. It's a pity that this is a village. What do you think will happen if these two sides are full of people all the way out? ?”

Zhang Daquan looked in the direction he was pointing, took a deep breath and said, If you had been living there, you would be able to fit in everything. You can even farm in the ravines on both sides if you find replenishment.

He reached up again and gestured, and Zhao Chuanxin said: Look, if here, here, and here were all turned into residential areas, wouldn't they be wider than the city? There could be dozens of roads horizontally, and vertically, Jiangzuo There is one street and three streets on the right side of the river. At the foot of the mountain in the north of the river, build an expressway that extends in all directions, so you can go anywhere.

Zhang Daquan said sillyly: After that, we won't have to go back to the city. Our home is the city.

So... Zhao Chuanxin looked at the backs of a group of people who had entered the village: If there are people who break into Guandong in the future, you let them settle here. If you have to leave, take out the gun if necessary. Shock them. Anyway, we didn’t harm them, right?”

Thinking about the scene of pointing guns at them and forcing them to live here, Zhang Daquan wondered: Forcing others to do things, does it count as harming others? Furthermore, they live here, except that I have become a city dweller. , what other benefits can there be?”

You are stupid, let Bao Bao lead you to do business, people are money, money is people, when there are more people, money will naturally gather together. If you are smart, go to Bao Bao to do research, and now open a small workshop or small business The shop sells rice, flour, grains and oils, clothes and shoes, and other odd things.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Daquan became anxious: Please help me look at it for a while, and I'll go find Baogui right away.

Okay, go ahead.

Zhang Daquan hurriedly went to Liu Baobao and told Zhao Chuanxin's plan, Liu Baobao's eyes lit up.

Every year, many people come to Guandong. If this place really becomes a new city, there will be great potential.

He looked at the wall he had started to demolish, pulled Carpenter Li over and said, Carpenter, what do you think if I change this house, I'll have an extra door here, put cabinets inside to store goods, lay a counter cashier here, and a cashier outside. Can I put up a sign?

What? Li Carpenter was surprised: If you run a shop in our village, who has spare money to buy goods?

Just say yes or no.

…

Jintai brought Defu back from outside the village, carrying a bag of rice on his shoulders.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, Jin Tai felt particularly complicated.

There is both gratitude and hatred.

He had suffered a lot in the past few months.

It was painful to quit smoking. What was even more painful was that the people in the insurance team simply didn't treat him as a human being. They stuck a rag with a rancid smell into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. His hands and feet were tied up, and he threw it on the ground casually, and he would do it at every turn. The whipping made him want to die.

It was simple, crude and effective. He gave up smoking completely within a few months, but his body was still very weak and a gust of wind could blow him away at any time.

Uncle, why are you on duty here? Defu asked curiously.

He is no longer the high-minded Eight Banners disciple he used to be.

After going through wealth and poverty, his father smoked and lost all the family property to the point where he could no longer afford to eat. Later, Zhao Chuanxin came and he had some profitable business. This is the real poor family where the child has become the head of the family.

It's not that poor families can't rise. The key is that poor families must be knowledgeable, educated and visionary.

Now, all the money Jintai spent to buy rice in the city was earned by Defu from the insurance team.

Now the money does not pass through his hands at all, it is all in the hands of Telford.

DeFu is very shrewd. Although he is mature and often works for the insurance team, he still plays with the children in the village. He finally figured it out. When these children grow up, they will become new members of the insurance team. If you follow the insurance team, you will definitely not starve to death.

Zhang Daquan has something to do. I'll help him look after it for a while. Zhao Chuanxin said, By the way, I have some things that I need you to do. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do well, you will get nothing.

Defu's eyes lit up: Then let's talk now, I'm free now.

Zhao Chuanxin said: I want you to buy me some things. All the tools for building a house, including screens and trowels, must be high quality and low price, and can be used by dozens of people.

After patting his chest and making a promise, Defu said: I promise that it will be done beautifully, and I will give you the money!

The blacksmith in the village definitely couldn't buy them all. He had more forged farm tools.

So, Defu took Jintai to the city and came back with a batch of tools in the evening.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the various tools that filled the yard and said to himself: We still need to build a tool room.

Defu asked curiously: Uncle, why did you buy these?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled mysteriously: Lend it to others!

Jin Tai, who was silent next to him, let out a laugh: I thought we were the only ones who were prodigal, but it turns out you are not far behind!

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him: Yes, I can lose more money than you, and I can lose more and more. Look, when I first came here, I didn't even have a house. Look, now, I have lost a lot. Family business, right? What about you? You’ve ruined your family and can’t even afford to eat.”

Jin Tai's nose was so angry that he was crooked.

There’s no way to refute it!

No one knows how much money this kid has.

Anyway, if you look at the people in the insurance team in the village, not to mention they are wealthy, they are still wealthy people even if they go to the city. They are all so rich, what can Captain Zhao do?

Those gangsters didn’t grab the hilltops for free!

As night fell, Zhu Jianye took his eldest son to Zhao Chuanxin's home.

He was smiling all over his face, and all the old wrinkles on his face were squeezed together: Captain Zhao, I am blind and blind, and I almost refuted Captain Zhao's good intentions...

It turned out that he went into the village during the day to inquire about the Pan Dao. He didn't know it until he heard it, and he was shocked when he heard it!

Lugangling Village turned out to be just such a Lugangling Village, and those heavily armed insurance teams turned out to be just such an insurance team.

Captain Zhao, the legendary captain of Lugangling Village, shocked him even more.

With his own efforts, he drove away the invading bandits several times, led people up the mountain to ransack the bandits' homes, and overthrew Yang Yushu, the largest bearded power backer in Jilin.

None of it sounds true.

But this was not just a matter of family. He asked around and finally came to the conclusion: It’s true!

Not only these, but also the incident of Zhao Chuanxin leading people to capture Hanako in the city is quite legendary. What he did was something that could only be done by the so-called Master Qingtian in the past.

The personal force points are full, the team-leading ability is full, and the crime-solving and criminal investigation abilities are also full.

It is said that this matter is well-known in the city. Whenever something happens, Zhao Chuanxin will stand up and cheer for him, and there will be a cloud of followers! If he wants to rebel, he can become the local emperor immediately!

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said: It doesn't matter if you don't know Taishan, as long as Taishan knows you. Lao Zhu, have you seen what happened to these guys building houses? You have a lot of family members. You will start building houses starting tomorrow. Build them first. This shack will give you and your family a shelter from the wind and rain.”

Looking at the pile of tools on the ground, Zhu Jianye hesitated and said, But these are not mine? I think the tools are all new.

Of course it's not yours, it's mine. Zhao Chuanxin said, But I'll lend it to you for free. You quickly find a place to live, and then take your family to help us villagers build houses. Of course you will be paid. Once you earn money, you will be able to survive. There will be more and more people here in the future, and life will gradually get better.
