Ma San's former younger brother Wang Zifu, because the Asian arms trade has shrunk in recent years, he is specialized in the Japanese route, so he can only change careers to start ordinary business. Wang Zifu also felt that the prospects of the Jiangnan Trade Zone were good, so he also wanted Xu Youfu to come to Jiangnan with a large amount of funds.

Wang Zifu's volume is much larger than Xu Youfu, Xu Youfu can only open a store to sell goods, and Wang Zifu invests in a factory. After some investigation, Wang Zifu fell in love with Danyang near Zhenjiang. The people here are simple, the population is large, and the transportation is convenient near the Yangtze River, which is a good place to invest and set up factories. Moreover, Gao Dequan, the commander of Danyang County, is still Wang Zifu's Rehe hometown, which can be regarded as a foil, so Wang Zifu set his industry in Danyang.

When Wang Zifu drove into Danyang with his team, the scene was very lively. Danyang County ordered Gao Dequan to lead the county's squires out of the city five miles to greet each other, and the people also gathered a big group. Negotiate the matters of setting up a factory, it is also very smooth, Gaode is all about people, to give land, and it is not a little bit of happiness. When Wang Zifu decided to inject 100,000 yuan at a time, that is, 400,000 taels of silver, Gao De was about to hug him and kiss him.

"Spontaneous bandits are chaotic, all industries in Danyang are withering, people's livelihood is poor, and the whole body is a county parent, and I feel deeply guilty! Today, Mr. Wang has invested in the construction and revitalization of Danyang's folk industries, which is really like the benefactor of Dequan, and it is also the reborn parents of my Danyang people! Gao Dequan burst into tears at the banquet, and his gratitude to Wang Zifu was simply speechless.

It's a pity that the tall man's words are still in his ears, and the tears have not dried, and as soon as Wang Zifu invests in the start of construction, trouble comes to the door. Wang Zifu took the drawings of the land granted to him by Gao Dequan, and led a group of workers to level the land outside the city and prepare to build a factory. Bricks, hoes, dung forks and other blades are really not a scene for Boss Wang, who started as an arms dealer, but Wang Zifu didn't want to conflict with the villagers after all, so he could only go back to the city to find help from his fellow villager Gao Dequan.

"Mr. Wang, is this not easy? The lower official has caused you trouble! The Gao County Commander quickly came over with the officials to disperse the villagers, but after Kochi County went to appease the villagers, his face was full of guilt.

"Why did Lord Gao say this, is there any problem?" Wang Zifu has a question mark on his head.

"Why don't we change the land! When the land was demarcated before, the officials were negligent, and they didn't know that this was the ancestral grave of those villagers, and if you started construction here, those villagers were afraid that they would come to make trouble endlessly!" Kochi Prefecture looked apologetic.

"It's not easy to do! What we want to build is not a factory, but a match factory, a silk and cotton mill, a lamp factory, a toy factory, and so on! In advance, the planning and survey are done in accordance with the land, if the land is temporarily changed, the terrain is different, the early planning can be completely wasted, and tens of thousands of pieces can be lost! "The black line on Wang Zifu's head, now that he has changed places, his early investment has been thrown away.

"The lower official is dumbfounded, the lower official is ashamed of you!" Gao Dequan didn't have any solution, just a strong apology.

"Don't blame yourself, it's inevitable! So be it! I would like you to go and talk to these villagers, I will pay for their graves to buy them and let them move their graves and rebury them, do you think? "Boss Wang is a rich man, so the natural solution he thinks of is to spend money on things.

"Mr. Wang, the lower officials will do it, don't worry, if you don't accept these fools, the lower officials will come to see you!" Gao Quan cursed and swore to go.

The efficiency of Kochi Prefecture was quite high, and the people who were making trouble were settled in one day, and the factory started construction normally, but Wang Zifu also paid an extra 5,000 taels out. Afterwards, Wang Zifu was a little puzzled, this area of Danyang was the battlefield of the year, not to mention how fierce the battle was! It has also been turned upside down, it has only been more than ten years, how can there be such a large ancestral grave! But thinking about Wang Zhixian's sincere face, Wang Zifu didn't dig deeper, thinking that it was the person who fled at the beginning, and came back to repair the tomb in recent years!

By the summer of the second year of Zhongzheng, several of Wang Zifu's factories were all completed, and they began to be put into production one after another, and Wang Zifu also earned a little peace money. Then the trouble came again, and the nearby squires gathered thousands of people and went to the county government to make trouble, pointing the finger at Wang Zifu's factory. Wang Zifu never dreamed that he would encounter a group of environmentalists at this time, and the reason for the squire's protest was the chimney of Wang Zifu's factory. Wang Zifu's factory required a steam engine and a large amount of coal every day, and it was not uncommon for the chimney to smoke, but the squires considered it unusual.

The towering chimneys, which emit billowing smoke every day, are blasphemy against the gods and also affect the feng shui of Danyang. The people are very simple, and they have not yet experienced the benefits brought by the factory, but the smoke and dust emitted by the factory pollute the local environment, and the people have all experienced it. Their crops are not green, and there is suddenly a lot of dust in their lives, and the sky is not as blue as before, how can the people not feel it. Therefore, as soon as the squires shouted their trumpets, the people immediately stood up and unanimously demanded that Wang Zifu and his factory be driven out of Danyang.

"Mr. Wang, the people's grievances are boiling! The subordinate officials are incompetent, and they really can't stand it! Gao Quande came to Wang Zifu with an embarrassed face.

"Master Gao, three thousand taels help me solve them!" Wang Zifu is a little weak, these people must have eaten themselves, and they can make a random excuse to blackmail themselves, and there is definitely Gao Dequan's share in this.

"Mr. Wang, there are too many people involved this time, and there are not 10,000 taels, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm the discussion. The lower officials were not doing well, and some of the squires were already preparing to appeal to the Zhenjiang Mansion, saying that they wanted to sue the lower officials together. Gao Dequan began to complain again, but the first step was to bargain first.

"I'll give up to seven thousand taels!" Wang Zifu completely understood now that Gao Quande and those squires were in the same group at all, and they were trying their best to knock on their own bamboo poles.

"Xiaguan do his best!" Gao Dequan is a person who accepts when he sees a good thing, and he can deal with it without 10,000 or 7,000.

After the feng shui incident subsided, Wang Zifu did not completely stop, and the people would still make trouble at two ends in three days. Gao Dequan always came out like a middleman to say peace, and every time the prince was blessed, he got some blood. Wang Zifu also found someone behind his back, and almost all of these things were conspired by Gao Dequan and the squires, and the purpose was to beat Wang Zifu's autumn wind. Wang Zifu hates these things very much, but thinking about it, the profit is greater than the investment, and the patience is over. However, Wang Zifu saw the face of his fellow countryman clearly, and hated Gao Dequan to death in his heart.

In the autumn of the third year of Zhongzheng, Gao Dequan's term of office expired and he was transferred to Jiangxi, and Wang Zifu could be regarded as getting rid of this hypocritical fellow. As soon as Sun Mengqing of Xinzhi County took office, Wang Zifu knew that he had wrongly blamed Gao Dequan over the years, if compared with Sun Mengqing, Gao Dequan was really a good county magistrate. The first thing Sun Mengqing did after taking office was to find trouble with Wang Zifu, and the way was much more intense than Gao Dequan.

"Boss Wang, my Qing Dynasty has always been agriculture-oriented, you occupy farmland and destroy rice as a factory, which is simply bad for my Qing Dynasty foundation and does not leave a way for the people to live!" Sun Mengqing's first words after seeing Wang Zifu were to ask the teacher for guilt.

"Lord Sun, this land was bought at a high price, not robbed!" Wang Zifu immediately understood that this Sun Mengqing was by no means capable of being sent away by a few thousand taels.

"It's not impossible to buy and sell land, but it's a big shame that a good field has become this brick and tile factory!" Sun Mengqing really didn't seem to have checked anything, and he was a little caught off guard by the matter of Wang Zifu's purchase of land.

Wang Zifu didn't reply, he didn't want to pay attention to this Lord Sun anymore, the land was bought by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu could do whatever he wanted, and it was about you. Sun Mengqing didn't say anything more, and babbled some nonsense about agriculture as the foundation of the country, and then went stupidly. Wang Zifu thought that this article was over, but he didn't want Sun Mengqing to go back and study it for five days, and then he sent someone to seal the factory.

"Lord Wang, the land used in your factory does not match the land you bought, and now the people are suing the county government, and this official will definitely make decisions for the people!" Sun Mengqing can grasp the reason this time, and the tone is still high last time.

Sun Mengqing took out the evidence, and after Wang Zifu studied it, his nose was almost crooked, these officials of the Qing Dynasty are too good at playing with people. Wang Zifu spent money to buy land, but not directly from the people, but from Danyang County, after everything was done, it was according to the map provided by Danyang County. It stands to reason that there will be no problems, but this time Sun Mengqing has studied a bad move, he said that Wang Zifu looked down on the map.

Wang Zifu's factory occupies a convex shape, if the picture is up north and down to the south, there is no problem, but Sun Mengqing said that this map is up and down to the north, so Wang Zifu occupies a piece of farmland in the north. And the play is a full set, Sun Mengqing also found the landlord of the land in the north, and the extras cried bitterly in the lobby, crying about how Wang Zifu seized the land, forcing their family to hang themselves. As a result, Lord Sun, who was the master of the people, had to demolish a piece of land north of the factory and return the land to the poor landlord. Of course, Wang Zifu said that he would not do anything, the one in the north was the boiler unit of the factory, and if it was demolished, his entire factory would have to stop cooking. The cost of follow-up pipeline transformation is even more incalculable, how could he agree. Sun Mengqing originally wanted to rely on himself to be the county prince and directly bite Wang Zifu to death, but Boss Wang, who had been involved in arms trading, was not a vegetarian. Wang Zifu not only found Leng Yunhe, but also directly contacted Zeng Guoquan, and this headless lawsuit had to be fought. Wang Zifu was in a bad mood after eating the relationship, but something even more unlucky came again.

Gao Dequan committed a crime in Jiangxi, was deprived of his post and imprisoned, and then confessed to Wang Zifu and admitted that Wang Zifu had bribed him. As soon as this case came out, Wang Zifu became a sinner, and almost let the errand officer arrest, so he could only return to Changchun to avoid the limelight. As soon as Wang Zifu was forced to leave, his factory was miserable, the workers were instigated to strike, and the raw materials were cut off for help, and finally had to close its doors. In order to stop the loss, Wang Zifu sold the factory to an Anhui businessman, but somehow it ended up being the official office of the Liangjiang Governor's Office, and the benefits were not as good as before, but the officials made a lot of money.
