Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 194

As

the oldest papermaking workshop in Jiangdu County, Huojia Paper Shop's business is not ideal.

After all, in this chaotic world, fewer and fewer people are reading, and the business of paper shops is naturally affected.

But today, the paper shop is crowded with about a dozen figures with heads and faces in the county, crowding the small paper shop to the full.

In the past, when these people saw Huo Jiangcun, the owner of the Huo family paper shop, they basically nodded and said hello.

But today is different, these people are full of smiles, groveling, when facing Huo Jiangcun, they are similar to the third grandson, and the nice words seem to be thrown out like they don't want money, and they can't wait to stuff them all into Huo Jiangcun's ears.

Huo Jiangcun has not seen strong winds and waves, and naturally he will not be coaxed by a few kind words from this group of people to find the north.

Moreover, he also knew why this group of people came to his shop together.

That is not his eldest son Huo Yunshan is a fellow military cadet of the Lin County Magistrate, and now he is still under the county magistrate as the head of the Military Justice Department, which is not a small official position.

For the first thirty years, watch the father honor the son.

For the next thirty years, watch the Son honor the Father.

These people did not come to visit Huo Yunshan to please Huo Yunshan.

Seeing that everyone was about to tout Huo Jiangcun as the next Liang Wanyi in Jiangdu County, he waved his hand with a bit of irritation, and then said:

"Okay, don't say these polite words, everyone is from the villagers, just say it bluntly!"

Seeing Huo Jiangcun's unkind face, a fat gentleman hurriedly said: "Since you said so, Master Huo, then I will dare to speak out!" "

Say it!"

"Yes, Master Huo."

"Don't tell you, we people have always wanted to see the county elder, but the county chief has been closed."

"Isn't the eldest young master in front of the head of the military justice department at the county magistrate, see if you can let the eldest young master help us say a few nice words, so that we can also meet the county elder!"

Huo Jiangcun showed a sneer and directly refused: "Yunshan will become a family in a while, and it will be a family in the future."

"After the separation, his affairs, I, the father, are not easy to mix."

"So, forgive me, I can't help with this matter!"

"Everyone, please come back!"

Hearing Huo Jiangcun's straightforward refusal, everyone's faces changed, and several of them were almost about to have a seizure.

After all, you Huo Jiangcun used to be a fart in Jiangdu County, to put it bluntly, you are a craftsman who sells paper.

Now that your son has become a high official, you are shaking your might.

But thinking about it, everyone did not dare to say it, they could only endure the dissatisfaction in their hearts, squeezed a smile on their faces, nodded and left.

After these people left, Huo Jiangcun's wife Huo Baishi came out of the back room and sat on the chair next to Huo Jiangcun, holding the sole of a shoe in her hand.

"His father, they are all villagers, they came to beg you, you just don't want to help, don't talk so badly." Huo Bai persuaded.

Huo Jiangcun rolled up a dry cigarette, put it in his mouth and smoked it, accompanied by the spit of smoke, and slowly said in his mouth:

"You don't understand, these people are now iron-hearted to have a relationship with the county magistrate Lin, if I don't say it to death, they will find it in the future."

Speaking of this, Huo Jiangcun sighed: "Yunshan is our son, raised from childhood to adulthood, how capable he is, I still don't know." "

This time, Yunshan can be valued by the county magistrate Lin and appointed him as the head of the Military Justice Department, is it really he who has done it?"

"I can't see it!"

"It's nothing more than that Yunshan is a local, and with him, the county magistrate is more comfortable with things, otherwise how can Yunshan get Yunshan's turn for such a good errand."

"When the county magistrate is familiar with the customs and people of Jiangdu County, will Yunshan's position in his heart still be so high?"

Huo Jiangcun took a puff of smoke: "Our family is not a big household, and we can't give Yunshan any help."

"What we can do is not to delay Yunshan and discredit him."

Huo Baishi put down the needlework in his hand and said with some doubt: "Then, what does this have to do with your rejection of those people?"

Huo Jiangcun said slowly: "You think, the reason why those people can't see the county magistrate is not because the county magistrate Lin doesn't want to see them."

"They asked Yunshan to help spread the word, do you think the county magistrate will be happy!"

"If you really upset the county magistrate, can Yunshan's division chief position still sit firmly!"

"Therefore, from me, I have to stop their thoughts and prevent them from disturbing Yunshan, so as not to cause trouble to Yunshan."

"By the way, tonight Yunshan said to go home for dinner, I also have to wake him up, don't go and help them say good things because of some villagers."

Speaking of this, Huo Jiangcun showed a disdainful smile: "Villagers, hehe, powerful are villagers."

"No money and no power, it's bullshit!"

Huo Baishi on the side sighed slightly, and did not say more, and continued to hold the sole in his hand.

Huo Jiangcun glanced at it and said, "Why, you have to make shoes again!"

Huo Baishi lowered his head and said, "A few days ago, I saw that Yunshan was wearing too many big leather boots.

"Yunshan is sweaty feet, it's not good to wear too many leather boots."

"I'll make him a new pair of cloth shoes!"

Huo Jiangcun nodded, and said no more, the old husband and wife just sat on the chair and spent this peaceful afternoon quietly.

······

As Lin Hongfei gradually took over the power gap left by the Ren family, the Liang family, the Zhang family and other wealthy gentry, he already had very sufficient funds and reserve materials.

Of course, the money and grain that the Liang family and the Ren family were planning to hide were found, thanks to Lin Hongfei's truth spitting agent, so that Liang Wanyi and Ren Anfu knew everything and said everything.

But what made Lin Hongfei feel a pity was that the Zhang family, the Xu family and other families that were wiped out by the vigilante group, their hidden property did not know where to put it.

However, Guo Lang and they did scavenge a lot of money from several wealthy families from the corpses of dead vigilante soldiers.

After Lin Hongfei took some of it, the rest was directly rewarded to the soldiers of his independent regiment.

If you eat your own meat, you have to let your brothers drink broth.

Otherwise, who will work for you with a dead heart!

In addition, the wharf in Jiangdu County is also in the hands of Lin Hongfei, as a relatively small wharf along the Yangtze River, many merchants in Lingnan Province gather here to load, unload, sell and distribute goods.

Near the wharf, a large town has also formed, in which wine shops, inns, warehouses, shops and other transactions are available.

Originally, this town was in the hands of Ren Anfu, but now it is owned by Lin Hongfei, and it can bring Lin Hongfei a lot of profits every day.

"If a railway is built in Jiangdu County, it will directly connect to Dongjiang City, the provincial capital."

"Then the commercial scale of Jiangdu Terminal can be expanded at least twice as much!"

"It's just that it costs too much money to build the railway."

"In a short period of time, there is no way to implement it."

"However, it can be used as a strategy for future development!" Lin Hongfei looked at the map and thought thoughtfully.
