Luodian Town is a typical Jiangnan town, although there are many households, it is peaceful and peaceful, not noisy. At present, Luodian is bustling, with a shuttling flow of people, and the trance is more lively than Jiading County in the Qing Dynasty.

Outside the town, Bo Maxian, the owner of Luodian who was walking on the road, felt that this Luodian was like boiling water in a pot, bubbling and churning, because his heart was also boiling, and occasionally looked at Ma Guang's eyes around him, which were like boiling water, as if he could cook this person's flesh and burn the skin.

"The villain can't help himself......"

Ma Guang muttered weakly, but he secretly felt down-to-earth, and Ma Xian was also dragged into the water by him.

The Fang family came to a Shandong daughter-in-law who looked like a fairy, and this matter spread because the Fang family went to the county seat to pass the hall, Ma Xian was so busy that he didn't have time to think about it. Ma Guang said yesterday that he had the opportunity to help get started, Ma Xian's heart was itchy, and he followed Ma Guang to Huangjia Village early this morning. … He got his hands on it.

People are really beautiful, but they are highly poisonous snakes and scorpions, and they are also attached to the talisman of the White Lotus Holy Aunt, and the shape of the stain is destroyed.

was cast by the holy aunt, forced to kill the entourage around him, and also entered the religion with blood, and became the holy altar method, Ma Xian felt that his shaved pigtail was born again, and he was dragged by the holy aunt, broke his skull, and inserted it into his brain.

"Covering Huangjia Village, it will be fourteen, today twelve, but two days."

Ma Guang emphasized their "duties" again, and Ma Xian's face was gray, like a wandering ghost, and he didn't even know how to enter the town office.

Ma Guang had to go back to "intercept the road", and Ma Xian was responsible for stopping the government from reaching out to Huangjia Village in the town office, and sat on his carved sandalwood Taishi chair for a while, and his soul returned to his place.

The mood has just calmed down a little, but the town office is gradually heating up.

First, a couple of men and women came to look for inspection, claiming to be a guy from the Taicang branch of Qingtian Mindai, saying that a guy from their branch had been missing for more than ten days, and his whereabouts before his disappearance stopped in Luodian Town. The woman is still very young, a little jasper, and she said with tears in her eyes that they are about to get married.

Qingtian's private loan is too big, and recently the county has also paid special attention to the people who come and go because of the big people, and the inspection said that it would be checked immediately. Ma Xian's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly said to the inspection that Ma Guang and others were in Jiuli Village, Huangjia Village, and he arranged to investigate.

The people who appeased the people of Qingtian Mindai, seeing that lunch was coming, people from several businesses such as the grain seed company, Seigongfang, and Baihualou came again and said that there was a guy missing, and the last line was the shop. ｛

Ma Xian was sweating all over, and he couldn't sit still anymore during the inspection, yesterday someone from the Divine Power Bureau came to ask the guy's whereabouts, and the other party was not very anxious at that time, so he didn't care too much.

The patrol inspector and Fa Zheng were all red-clothed soldiers, and they didn't let their subordinates eat lunch, and they were sent to various villages to visit. Since there are people in the area of Jiuli Village in Huangjia Village, it is no better.

Ma Xian wiped his sweat and sweated at the same time, feeling that these two days were probably longer than a lifetime, and the people from the county's agricultural and commercial law and other yamen appeared again, saying that the people sent to Luodian the day before yesterday had not returned to sell badly, and they didn't know what happened.

It's not clear what it is, but it's definitely a big deal!

The town office was in chaos, and various departments such as the inspection law and the farmer were mobilized and the business was mobilized, and now in this small town, there are hundreds of people who have eaten and eaten Lu to go to dozens of villages in the town to investigate. Of course, Huangjia Village and Jiuli Village are still in charge of Lord Bo.

As soon as this momentum was suppressed, although it was only a town, although it was still his own subordinate, Ma Xian, who was originally a scribe in the torture room in the Qing Dynasty, also felt that his hair stood on end and he was so afraid that he wanted to vomit bile.

In the Qing Dynasty, although the government was cautious, it could not use the squire, how could it be sprinkled with such a secret? And in the Qing Dynasty, the scene of the chief official's words was difficult to appear under the rule of the British......

Thinking that before in Huangjia Village, the holy aunt forced him to protect Huangjia Village, he defended that he didn't have that ability, and the holy aunt said with a disdainful face: "Don't treat people as fools, you are a parent official, don't you have to listen to you in this town?" "At that time, he was really going to vomit three liters of blood, and his organs were burned.

When Ma Xianzheng's mind was swaying, Cao Ma Ming, who was directly in charge of the household under him, came to him again, saying that the county household certificates had been issued, and he was going down to the villages in the town to personally supervise the villagers to apply for the certificates. Ma Ming is from his clan, and he speaks more directly, don't go to Huangjia Village and Jiuli Village!

After sending Hu Cao, Ma Xian wanted to eat something, so he had the strength to continue to withstand this inner torment, a fat man entered the office, and found him in a familiar place, handed over a famous post, and said with a smile: "Master Bo, do all the villages in this town use bee coal?" ”

After taking the name post, he wrote "Director of Jiang'an Bee Coal Company, Director of Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, and Director of Coal Industry Branch", and after this line, he also specially marked a "candidate for the affairs of the West Institute of Guangdong Province".

Ma Xian shuddered, it's so big! Hurriedly looked at the name, but it was the word "Zhong Shang".

If you go back in time, you can have a choice in the morning, and if you don't go to Huangjia Village, Ma Xian will be full of brilliant hearts and slap this "double director and double affairs", but it's a pity......

Ma Xian chewed tears in his stomach, and said expressionlessly: "Master Zhong, it is used in the town and in the village." ”●bl

The person who came was Zhong Shang, who started digging coal in Annan, and now in Jiangnan, together with the coal bosses, he has set up a Jiang'an Bee Coal Company to sell coal stoves and honeycomb coal. Because the competition was too fierce, he took the following guys and taught him how to develop the rural market hand in hand.

There was a professional misunderstanding of Ma Xian's expression, Zhong Shangwei smiled and stuffed an envelope, which was fluttering, and seemed to be only holding a piece of paper, but Ma Xian knew that it must be a joint ticket in Jiangnan that was in fashion.

"Which one is it, Lihuotang? Dongsheng? They still have to find our company to buy coal, if the lord Bo pushes them, I will allow Jiang An to monopolize the business in the town......"

Zhong Shangwei blinked: "Our company gives the master a rebate of seven cents, seven cents, although it is not much, how can it be a few hundred taels a year." ”

Ma Xian wants to vomit blood, how can he have the heart to get rich now! It's still a year, and now it's good that he can survive a day!

Let's get rid of this dead fat man......

Accepted the envelope, stiffened his face and said that he must study and study, waved his sleeves and was about to leave, and hurriedly added, Now the town is investigating the bandits, don't run around, no one is responsible for what happens.

Out of the office, Zhong Shangwei's smiling face sank: "Want to coax me? No way! ”

Behind him are three four-** cars, one carrying people and two people and goods. Zhong Shangwei waved firmly to the company's Jiading shopkeeper: "Go!" Go to the village and see which company is so powerful that eats this area to death! ”

Although the value of honeycomb coal is small, it can be so large that it is surprising that Jiangnan is short of firewood, and a poor household has to spend two or three taels of silver on firewood, and the use of honeycomb coal can save at least two or three percent of the people's livelihood and not counting industry and commerce.

Zhong Shangwei's gang of coal bosses originally provided raw materials for honeycomb coal, and it can be seen that their own coal is sold by ship, and the things made of commercial coal and mud are sold by block, and they are immediately red-eyed, and while selling coal, they are also engaged in their own honeycomb coal business.

They only have a coal sales channel in Jiangnan, and there is no honeycomb coal channel, so they can only start from scratch. The big cities are occupied by big merchants, and they shop in the towns.

"Explain to the villagers that only by using our stove can we match our coal ball, don't let those mud legs accept our stove and don't buy or buy less of our coal ball because of the cheapness, and use other people's coal balls, and the result is not together, and they will scold us for cheating." …,

In the carriage, Zhong Shangwei pointed to his shopkeeper. At present, in order to circle the market, all bee coal companies are engaged in the integration of coal stoves, but in order to distinguish themselves from other companies, they are working coal stoves and coal groups. The stove mouth and the coal mass are made to match the appearance, and it is very inconvenient to change to his coal group. There are antagonals, and there are bells made into waning moons, and the Jiang'an company on the top has made a pagoda shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

With Zhong's upper position, there is no need to run the market in person, but he enjoys this feeling of expanding his business. When he was digging coal in Annan, he was also guarding the mouth, counting his coal one by one, which was like farming, watching an acre of land sprout, sprout, and divide the ears, and then harvest it by hand, which was really the ultimate happiness in life.

At the entrance of the town, the coachman asked, "Director, where are we going first?" ”

With a bang, a silver coin popped up on the upper part of the bell, which was a half-tael silver coin issued by the Anglo-Chinese Bank with dozens of banks, the obverse was the Anglo-Chinese "National Map" double-body Taiji Tuanlong, and the back was the words "Half Tael" and the Anglo-Chinese Bank, as well as the age of ten years of the Holy Dao.

"Left!"

"Right!"

"Left!"

Playing all the way, Zhong Shang's convoy approached Huangjia Village for a mile.

Turning through large and small ponds, there was a hillside ahead, and three more horse-drawn carriages were encountered on the road.

"Director Zhong, you also went to the countryside to expand the city in person?"

"Yo, Director Zhang! You've done all this salt business in Taicang? ”

"What, I'm also helping the south to sell Siamese rice seeds now, the water and soil in this area are more suitable, come to the countryside to find out, but Zhong Sidong, why did you come to Taicang?"

"There are old acquaintances in Jiading, the head of the dart back then was here as a general judge, go back to Jiading tonight, and I will introduce you to you!" Shun

"Okay, then thank you Director Zhong, let's go all the way today, you briquettes and my rice, you have everything to eat."

The person who came was Zhang Sanwang of the Jiangnan Yan Dynasty who was active in the area of Huhangjia, Zhejiang, and the two had several encounters in Longmen earlier, and they were also acquaintances.

The convoy grew stronger, and it would cross the hillside, and two or three miles away was a village forest, and the houses could be faintly seen behind the forest, and a group of people suddenly poured out from the side of the road.

"What for? The village is closed, and today I will check the bandits, and I have no business to do! ”

A dozen or so sturdy men stopped in front of the convoy, and the leader shouted in a full voice.

Zhong Shangfang had already shrunk to the bottom of his seat, and he thought he was robbing the road, but he was relieved when he heard the people in front of him talking to each other.

Closed villages? Not allowed to do business?

Zhong Shangwei was angry, the zombie face of the previous town office owner Bo was shaking in front of his eyes again, the district lord was thin, and the official with a big nose dared to order the fiefdom?

He got out of the carriage, scolded him with his head and face: "Do you still think it is the Qing Dynasty, and you will do anything wrong just because you are an official?" Now it's Great Britain! Don't say that your lord is thin, even if Zheng Heitu, the prefect of Songjiang, dares to ban business, my lord, I will spit on his face! Sir, we are a businessman and a hospital... And so on... Which yamen are you from? Scoop it out! ”

scolded and scolded, I felt that something was not right, these men were all dressed in plain clothes, Zhong Shang's position was more sufficient, and the officials were on business, and now they had to show their bodies.

"Say goodbye...... Sue your mother's ......"

Among the men blocking the road, the leader is Ma Guang, who has simply blocked the road here and closed the village in the past two days, but he doesn't want a convoy to pop up all of a sudden.

thought that he could coax the other party away, but unexpectedly a fat man came out, scolded him arrogantly, and mentioned the most painful farewell in his heart, which was his future that had been drowned in blood.

Ma Guang's eyes turned from red to dove, and he felt that this convoy was only a few drivers, and his subordinates not only had their own henchmen and irons, but also the Shandong protector by Shenggu's side, which was enough to kill people and hijack cars, leaving no trouble.

With a twist of his face and an angry scolding, Ma Guang waved his hand: "Kill!" ”
