Chapter 421: Not a Pushover (Subscribe Please)
The teahouse was full of people, but not many tea drinkers paid attention to the whispers here.
"After hearing what you said, I know that you have seen the world!"
The Jianghu man at the next table was stunned at first, and then chuckled: "You asked a good question!"
"Officials in the county government, local gentry and landlords, and clan elders are not good people. They will not let go easily when they see benefits!"
This statement is a very cruel fact!
Even the uncle who originally wanted to stop the young man from talking couldn't help but show his curiosity and listening at this time. Obviously, he was quite interested in this matter.
The so-called prosperous times have many wronged souls, and it is not a joke.
The county magistrate who destroyed the family and exterminated the family was not just talking.
What merchants fear most is not the bandits, but the adults in the government office.
As long as they want, they can easily suck the marrow out of the target, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Could it be that such things are not common in Huarong?
In fact, it is true!
"According to Xia Beggar, in a world with martial arts, the lower-class people still have some hope!"
The Jianghu man at the next table chuckled and said, "If the masters of the yamen want to make money, they have to cooperate with the clerks below, otherwise they are nothing!"
"Local gentry and landlords, if there is no government support and the support of tenants, are also nothing!"
"When Xia Beggar was in Huarong, he had already drawn a line for the clerks of the government and the local gentry and landlords, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!"
As he said, he glanced at the uncle and nephew who listened carefully, and said leisurely: "If you don't want to die inexplicably, you have to abide by such rules honestly!"
"Impossible?"
The young businessman was surprised and said, "The officials in the yamen are not good people!"
"They are not good people. Those who were forced to break up their families and flee to the mountains and forests, and those who had to leave their homes, are not good people?"
"What do you mean?"
The young businessman was confused. Didn't he talk about the officials in the yamen? Why did he talk about others?
"Literally!"
The gangster at the next table said leisurely: "Three years ago, there were still many officials who didn't believe in evil, and they died miserably. They were all killed by the people they had harmed before!"
"This is a standard revenge killing. They are all a bunch of peasants who have nothing left. Do you want to force them to rebel?"
The young businessman was stunned, and his uncle just showed a thoughtful look.
"As for the local gentry and landlords, there are so many pirates on the Yangtze River, how can they handle it?"
"This, this, this, could it be the work of the chivalrous beggar?"
The young businessman felt that his worldview was shattered, and he said in disbelief: "It's impossible, isn't it said that the chivalrous beggar is unparalleled in chivalry, how could he do such a thing?"
"Who said that this was done by the chivalrous beggar?"
The hero at the next table said unhappily: "Besides, it is true that the chivalrous beggar is chivalrous first, but it does not mean that he does not distinguish between good and bad, and everyone is taken care of by him!"
"Don't the gentlemen in the government have any countermeasures?"
The young businessman asked curiously: 'When it comes to interests, I think the officials in the yamen will not let it go easily! ’
“Haha, is it possible that their usual income has decreased?”
The hero at the next table sneered: “Everything is done according to the rules. The income of the officials in the government office has not been affected. They just want more!”
“As for how the beggars deal with them, how can I, an outsider, know this?”
“What about the local gentry and landlords?”
The young businessman asked unwillingly: “I don’t believe they will be so honest and obedient!”
“They can’t be dishonest even if they want to!”
The hero at the next table sneered: “Unless, they just want to guard their own fields and shops in the city to make a living, and have no idea of expanding their business to the surface of the Yangtze River!”
“Also, do they want to use the waterway of Dongting Lake in the future?”
He didn’t continue here, the meaning is self-evident.
The young businessman quickly reacted, took a breath of cold air, and nodded repeatedly: "This idea is quite good, directly grasping the lifeblood of those landlords and gentry!"
"In short, as long as the government and these local gentry do not make random moves, the living standards of the people in Huarong will naturally get better day by day!"
"And the former Huarong County Magistrate was also promoted because of his outstanding political achievements. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
Hehe...
The young businessman couldn't laugh, but he was indescribably envious in his heart.
He envied the people of Huarong and the good living environment of his colleagues here.
Businessmen with conscience and bottom line have low requirements, and they are most afraid of the government government making random moves.
But in Huarong, there is no such thing at all, which makes him envious to the point of madness.
"If you want to settle down in Huarong, what are the conditions or invisible rules?"
At this time, the uncle who had not spoken next to him suddenly asked: "If possible, I want to settle part of my belongings in Huarong!"
"Uncle, what are you doing..."
The young businessman was confused again, and didn't understand why his uncle suddenly did this.
"It's very simple, as long as you have real estate in the city!"
The man at the next table didn't care and chuckled, "If you have a hundred acres of land outside the city and hire some local villagers to farm, that would be great!"
This kind of thing has happened too many times in Huarong in recent years!
It must be said that businessmen have a very keen sense of smell, or their need for safety is too urgent.
Their social status is too low. If they don't have enough background and backing, even if they have huge wealth, they will not be able to withstand the attention of the government and local powerful people.
Not to mention, if a gangster takes a fancy to it, it will really be a lot of fun.
As Xia Beggar said, there are still many differences in the world of martial arts.
Obviously, Huarong not only has rapid economic development, but also has excellent public security environment and social order. It is natural for those wealthy businessmen to set up industries here.
Some people who had suffered in other places directly brought their families here to settle.
Apart from anything else, the security here in Huarong is quite strong, and ordinary thieves would not dare to run wild here, otherwise they would have to wait to be hunted down by the Beggar Gang.
In the past few years, with the sudden rise of the Beggar Gang, he has participated in many major events, which has suddenly raised the reputation of the Beggar Gang. Coupled with its huge scale, its deterrence is no joke.
Even the Hengshan sect, which is not far away, is feeling increasing pressure, not to mention other stragglers.
