"Your Excellency is really clever, my subordinates toast you...... Dry..."The white porcelain wine cup hit the air in mid-air, and the hot liquor slurry fell into the stomach like a line of fire, and everyone's throats made a refreshing squeak.

Late at night, in the flower hall in the front yard of the Xiao family's mansion, Xiao Letian was feasting several heroes of this operation. Tie Toutuo and Wang Huaiyuan are the protagonists, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and Long Ye are accompanied, and the six of them sit together, and the fragrance of wine and vegetables fills the entire flower hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Sima Yun patted Tie Toutuo's bald head and said with emotion: "Toutuo, Toutuo, I think when you joined the command of the prince, you were still a little monk in your teens, and you are over thirty years after so many years, right?"

Tietoutuo nodded with emotion, "Yes, when the Kingdom of Heaven first arose, I was still a little monk in the temple, if it weren't for the Qing Demon slaughtering five or six villages under the mountain, so that there was no incense money in the temple, maybe I would still be guarding the ancient Buddha of the green lantern now......"

This Tietoutuo is not a monk from the wandering side at all, he is actually a veteran of the Heavenly Kingdom on the top of Taibai. This guy used to be a monk in the Buddhist temple when he was young, and later because the war affected the temple and was abandoned, he had to go down the mountain to explore the rivers and lakes, it was precisely because the murderer of the temple was the army of the Qing Demon, so Tietoutuo took refuge in the army of heaven without saying a word.

In this feng shui drama, the discerning Xiao Letian promoted him and sang this big drama with him as the center.

What kind of bullshit feng shui eyes, those are all prepared in advance by the masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are ghosts heard during the day, and it is because Tietoutuo is proficient in ventriloquism, as for the mouth spewing fire, and changing colors, it is a necessary ability to walk the rivers and lakes, and there is nothing unusual.

A qiē is a show, that is, acting, but this feng shui drama just poked at the death hole of the ancient Chinese. Aren't you superstitious? Then I'll use superstition to defeat you, and don't say that this trick is very evil, it's purely useless.

Xiao Letian knows that the power of tradition is very strong, not to mention that it is now the Tongzhi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, even in the era when compulsory education has been popularized in the previous life, there are still many people who believe in cults, and there is still a market for Shenhan witches in the countryside. Even among the dignitaries, there are high-level feng shui masters mixed in.

How many mansions have to ask Mr. Feng Shui to change the design, those top rich and dignitaries can talk about state affairs on the screen, but there are not a few who burn incense and worship Buddha in private.

Superstition has long been seared into the bone marrow of the Chinese people, and it cannot be lifted by oppressive means.

Xiao Lotian can use the power of the government to forcibly expropriate land, but you can requisition land but you can't expropriate the people's hearts.

Of course, Xiao Letian can also use Jiao Si'er's scoundrels and let them use the rogue methods of the family to force the people away, but paper will never be able to contain the fire, and when the matter is revealed, the people's hatred for Xiao Letian will double, which is not what he wants.

"Sir is really a good plan, so that we can get the land, and we can win the hearts of the people of a city, and in the future, when the special zone is established, the resistance of the surrounding people will not be very great, and the recruitment of workers will be much smoother at that time...... But I don't know something, since Mr. already has such a clever plan, why do you need to use someone like Jiao Si'er in advance?" Tie Toutuo asked puzzled.

"Well, that's a good question..."Xiao Letian nodded, picked up a prawn dumpling and put it in his mouth, and said with a whining voice, "This is the trick of grace, have you ever heard the allusion of Shengmien fighting rice hatred? A poor man, if you give him a liter of rice enough for him to eat for three days, he will be grateful to you, but if you directly send him a bucket of rice enough for him to eat for half a month, he will have to think about your family's granary......"

"These people will say, you can give me a bucket of rice, why can't you give me a warehouse of rice? Look, people's desires have no end, and there is a bottom to greed? Therefore, I must sacrifice Jiao Si'er, an old dog, in advance, so that these people know what the bad people in the world are like, and only when there is a comparison, can they distinguish between good and bad......

"What is black? It is black because there is white, and what is light? It is because you have seen the night that you can understand what light is...... So, when you want to give him a paradise, you might as well let them taste what hell is like first, and then they will be grateful if they compare it......"

Xiao Letian's words made the people in the room silent for a long time, and it took a long time for Long Ye to sigh and say, "Why are there so many Dao, it's really a brainstorm, I'm still honest as my martial artist..."

Xiao Letian didn't continue the conversation, but just turned his head to Wang Huaiyuan and asked, "Qing Sanye should also go to the capital now, right?" Hurry up and report the good news to Sanye, and say that I will solve the problem of land acquisition for him...... Also, how have you been investigating lately? What's going on in Shanghai and Guangzhou?"

Xiao Letian was asking about the Shanghai Industrial Zone and the Guangzhou Industrial Zone, which were promoted together with the Tanggu Special Economic Zone, which were three bold attempts by the Qing Dynasty, and Xiao Letian's intelligence network had been closely monitoring the every move of his competitors.

"The Shanghai Special Industrial Zone has now been captured by the Hunan army, Zeng Dashuai appointed Li Hongzhang as the general manager, and Li Hongzhang chose the huge rich Hu Xueyan, sure enough, as Mr. had guessed before, the entire special industrial zone was no different from the Yamen of the Qing Dynasty, and the hierarchy was clearly ...... from top to bottom."

"But after all, Hu Xueyan is the richest man in Jiangnan, and he has land, and his land acquisition work is smoother than ours, and some big landlords don't want to sell land, so the Hu family can pick the fertile land in Jiangnan at will, one acre for three acres. In this way, many landlords around Shanghai went to Suzhou and Hangzhou......"

"But Hu Xueyan doesn't have the Western education skills of Mr., and he doesn't know what to do next when the land is expropriated, and now I hear that Britain, France, and even countries like Spain and Italy have sent businessmen to help him make plans, and the result is one standard for one country, one plan for one country, which is very confusing......

Xiao Letian laughed when he heard this, it seems that Hu Xueyan is also blind to the outside world, so can you use the industrial design of Spain and Italy?

"What about Guangzhou? Tell me about the situation over there......

"Hi...... Don't mention it, a few days ago, the foreigner captain brought the latest news, this group of Qing demons is still engaged in the founding of the country, and they are fucking enclosures..."

Originally, the Manchus wanted to occupy all the special industrial zones, and they wanted to create another wicker side in the Central Plains and add an extra piece of hardcore crops to their eight banners to ensure their harvest during drought and flood.

However, under the stirring of the Qingliu and the secret conflict of the Hunan army, the Shanghai Special Administrative Region was taken away by Zeng Guofan, and only two special zones were still under the control of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Tanggu Special Economic Zone is very special, there are Qing Sanye and Xiao Letian in charge, and the bad habits of the Manchurians have not been able to penetrate in. But Guangzhou is different, the Manchu masters actually understood the special zone as another horse race, and they have not even paid the money, and they have already begun to occupy the land.

The generals in the city of Guangzhou took the Eight Banners and the soldiers out of the city, and when they saw good land, they laid down their stakes, and in less than three days, they actually took away six or seven thousand acres of cultivated land, and all the people got was an IOU.

"An acre of good watered land is worth at least 50 taels of silver near Guangzhou, but this group of Qing demons gave an IOU of 15 taels and snatched it. In order to prevent the peasants from returning to farming, they even destroyed the canals in the fields, and even sprinkled a lot of big stones, and now the whole city of Guangzhou is crying, and the common people are holding the blood letter of all the people to enter Beijing to sue the emperor......

All the people at this table are not eating, and they are all full of anger, everyone here is the vanguard of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and they all have a blood feud with the Qing demon, where can they stand this anger.

"I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, and I am also engaged in this special zone, after all, the Hunan army is all Han people, and they still have a little affection for the same clan, so they will open a high price for land exchange. And these Eight Banner dogs, they don't treat us Han people as human beings at all, they just kill us like animals, and dare to enclose the land, and then force out a heavenly kingdom, I'll see who else can save them..."

"It's still our lords who are kind-hearted, not only don't know how to rob, but also can come up with clever ways to appease people's hearts, and the people of Tanggu are blessed..."

Just when everyone was talking, suddenly the soldiers ran over and said, "My lord, Jiao Si'er is here, and now he is waiting in the study, he said that he must see the adults today, otherwise he won't leave......"

"What is it? He still dares to threaten the adult, I'll throw him out......" Sima Yun wanted to go out after speaking, but Xiao Letian stopped him, "I don't need you, I'll go see him......"

At this time, there was not even a pot of charcoal fire in the study, only the candles on the silver candlestick danced and flickered, stretching Jiao Si'er's figure long. In the flickering candlelight, Jiao Si's face changed with a strange look, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

"Jiao Si'er... Why am I looking for my master so late?" Xiao Letian pushed open the door, and Jiao Si'er was excited by the cold wind.

"Please give me peace ......" Jiao Si'er casually called a thousand, followed by a stream of resentful words.

"Master, you don't pay attention to this thing, how can you go back on your word? You agreed to hand over the land requisition to the minions, but during the day you took all the land away by yourself, so you don't want the minions to make some money to spend?"

As soon as Xiao Letian heard his unconvinced and angry tone, his heart became angry, and he said coldly: "Jiao Si'er, are you a little forgetful, don't forget that you are a slave in this room, and I am the master...... Get on your knees..."

Jiao Siyi almost didn't jump up from the chair when he heard it, "You are the master if you have money to earn, if you don't give money to earn, you still want to be my master......?"

"Kneel..."Xiao Letian smashed the tea bowl with a snap, and then two guards rushed in from outside the door, grabbed Jiao Si'er and kicked him hard in the knee socket.

"Damn, is the old dog deaf? Adults told you to kneel, and you fucking dared to stand tall...... Kneel down..."Another hard kick, Jiao Si hit his knee on the floor at that time.

At this time, Jiao Si'er had already let it go, and the land acquisition and trading he was talking about was a big business of 100,000 taels, and an old money fan like him couldn't pull it out of his eyes at all. What's even worse is that this deal is not only his own, those dog legs from the capital also have to share the profits, if they can't eat this meat, Jiao Si'er won't want to mix in Sijiu City in the future.

What's more, Jiao Si has mastered Xiao Letian's core secret, with this big handle in his hand, does Jiao Si'er still need to be afraid of him?

"Xiao Letian, don't be arrogant, you can't hide the things you did behind your back, Lao Tzu, I haven't seen anything in my life......?

"Oh, you have something to say, tell me, what do you want to tell me, my lord, I'm listening to you today..."R405
