Chapter 32 Shantai County Gentry Bullying
Originally, Shantai County was surrounded by the sea in the south and waterways in the north.
There are several ports, although not too big, and they are quite prosperous.
The waterway to Haojiang is no more than 80 kilometers, and it can be said that the geographical location is quite superior.
In the past, Shantai County was considered a wealthy place, but in recent years, it has encountered some disasters, which has made it difficult for the people in the county to survive.
"Shopkeeper, what food do you have in your house? Come on?"
The group did not walk too slowly, but this year, it took more than 20 miles to walk for a full two hours.
When I arrived near the county town, it was already night.
Fortunately, the county town looks very peaceful. You can vaguely see that the city gate is not closed yet, and the soldiers patrolling under the city gate are relatively loose.
It seems that the twists and turns and disasters in the village below the mountain platform have not affected the prosperity and prosperity near the county town.
A bunch of caravans walking around the official roads in an endless stream.
Some people go into the city and some go out, which is very lively.
"Young master, please come in. All the food in our shop is sufficient, such as honey char siu, white-cut chicken, roast goose..."
The shopkeeper saw a group of people walking in from outside. When he looked up, he had to have about twenty people.
At the beginning, when I saw the villagers' outfits, my face changed.
But I saw Hong Yun, who was in the lead, dressed like a student who returned from studying abroad.
For a moment, he licked his smile and came to meet him.
"Young Master, look, why don't you please go upstairs? There is a private room upstairs, your subordinates..."
Obviously, the shopkeeper regarded these villagers as servants hired by Hong Yun.
In his impression, the eldest young master naturally had the best way to eat it. He must like to go to the private room and could not eat it with his servants.
"No need, we are downstairs. It's pretty good here. Moreover, they are not my subordinates, they are all my friends."
"Yes, yes, since that's the case, Young Master, you and your friends, sit down first, let's sit down and have a cup of tea, and then order food slowly, without rushing."
Seeing Hong Yun say this, although he doesn’t understand what the ‘big young master’ in front of him means.
However, the shopkeeper is a person who has been doing business all year round and has a lot of knowledge.
So I didn't take it seriously and immediately followed Hong Yun's statement.
"Brother Zhang, you all sit down. I think these empty tables can be almost sat down."
It is said to be a small shop, but it is actually not small. There are seven or eight tables downstairs.
There are two round tables, and these two round tables can sit down more than a dozen people.
After squeezing, it would be fine for Hong Yun and other people to sit here.
However, although these people are poor, they still understand the rules.
They were not really a bandit, but now they have a way to eat, so they naturally seem much more restrained.
"Young Master Hong, please ask first, please ask first."
A group of people were very inferior, and no one dared to be with Hong Yun.
In their hearts, the noble young master and the international students who have drunk foreign ink can invite them to a meal, even if the ancestors accumulate virtue.
If you are so blind and have to squeeze on the same table with others, it will reduce your life and damage your good deeds.
That's right, although this era seems to have changed.
In fact, the people at the bottom are still in the old state.
That strict concept of hierarchy is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Okay, I don't have so many rules here. What's the point of sitting here by myself at such a big table?"
"Brother Zhang, you guys come here to me."
Seeing everyone sitting on other tables, there was no one else on his big round table.
Hong Yun couldn't help but frown and knocked on the table.
Perhaps it was Hong Yun's attitude that made everyone a little nervous.
After all, they have long been used to the days when they are shouted and instructed.
Therefore, Hong Yun's frown was really good if he wanted to lose his temper.
"This, Mr. Hong, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to sit here? Look at us..."
Although he kept explaining, the strong man named Zhang still did not dare to refuse. He greeted a few people and sat on the round table.
However, there were still two seats separated from Hong Yun, and he didn't dare to really sit next to Hong Yun.
"What's the right one or not, you..."
I originally planned to let them continue to sit on their side.
But seeing unnatural expressions on everyone's faces made him realize that it would be a bit difficult to persevere.
"Forget it, let's do it, shopkeeper, bring all the best dishes you have here."
"Everyone wants to eat whatever they want to eat tonight, but there is one thing, don't eat too much, as it is easy for something to happen if you eat too much at night."
After saying that, Hong Yun took out three pieces of ocean from his pocket and threw them to the shopkeeper: "Is it enough?"
"Hey, hey, Young Master Hong, enough, you guys are rich even if you eat openly."
"Just enough, let the guy greet you well. The remaining money will be rewarded by you and your guy."
After quickly taking the ocean thrown by Hong Yun, and after blowing it, he confirmed that it was true, the shopkeeper immediately smiled happily.
"Why are you still standing there? You don't have the eyesight to see him, so why don't you make tea for Mr. Hong? Use the best tea in our store!"
The ocean is rumbling, and it is a whole three oceans.
In these days, a piece of rice is enough for a family of four or five to go to the restaurant, and they have enough to eat and eat, and they have to be a big meal or a hard dish.
Although Hong Yun and the others have a lot of people, this small restaurant obviously does not have particularly tough dishes, and it is considered a small restaurant like a home-cooked restaurant.
This kind of store is cheap, so many people probably have two oceans.
If you eat openly, you will have more than half a piece of left in three oceans.
It’s all about rewards, how can it not make people excited?
For a moment, from top to bottom in the restaurant, they surrounded Hong Yun and his group of people, and served them very well.
When you meet such a big financial backer, who cares about what clothes these villagers wear and whether they have dust on them?
Anyway, it has nothing to do with them. After earning money, even if they bring a few dogs over, they will still serve the uncle.
"Brother Zhang, you haven't finished talking just now. What did you say about Shuai Xu before? What happened?"
After drinking a cup of tea and becoming more calm, Hong Yun continued to ask questions.
"This... Then Marshal Xu is a warlord. In the past two years, he has been entrusted with heavy taxes, which has made us suffer a lot."
"It would be great if Manager Liu didn't take him away at the beginning, it would be a big blame for that damn Tan Baiwan!"
When Zhang Zhuangman saw the clerk busy schedule, he didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he leaned in front of Hong Yun and lowered his voice and started to speak.
It turns out that the reason why Shantai has become this world in the past two years is inseparable from the new Marshal Xu who has not been a newcomer for a few years.
A few years ago, the former commander of Shantai was a native of Shantai, so he attached great importance to the development of his hometown.
After many years of operation, Shantai has been well managed.
Who knew that a few years ago, a conflict with Tan Baiwan, the richest man in Shantai County, was in conflict.
As a result, Tan Baiwan was running around and walking everywhere, and actually invited the garrison commander Xu, who claimed to be the commander of the commander, to come over.
But no one expected that this Marshal Xu had long been jealous of the wealth of Hongshantai County, but he had never had a chance.
After all, Liu Guandai was not his confidant, but a member of the governor of Yuezhou.
Even if he is several levels higher, it is not easy to force others to change defense zones.
Now that he has the opportunity to station in Shantai, he is immediately overjoyed Marshal Xu.
After coming, he plundered people's wealth everywhere.
In less than five years, a wealthy county that was originally ranked among the top in the province was turned into a slum.
