March of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Yushan Town.

The spring breeze has arrived, and everything around Yushan Town has recovered, a vibrant scene.

At this time, Liu Juntao was standing anxiously in his yard, Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu, and Liu Zian were also standing next to him, and everyone's faces were also very anxious.

It didn't take long for a loud cry to hear, and a maid hurriedly ran out of the house, saluted Liu Juntao and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Lian!" It's Childe! Mother and child are safe! ”

Liu Juntao immediately laughed when he heard this, and was about to enter the house to visit Guo Muying's mother and son, but was stopped by the maid.

"Mr. Lian, the house is unclean, please wait here."

Liu Juntao reluctantly stopped, Tang Yu and Liu Zian stepped forward one after another, saying hello to Liu Juntao and Guo Yongzhong, Guo Yongzhong also couldn't close his mouth with a smile, now he can be regarded as having a grandson.

At this time, Liu Zi'an said with a smile: "Mr. Lian, I think we should immediately spread the news of the birth of the little boy, one is to boost the morale of our Yushan Town, and the other is to let the little people know that there are successors in our Yushan Town!" ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "Okay!" Do it now! ”

Liu Zi'an sent his men to release the news on the same day, and it didn't take long for not long for all the people in Yushan Town to know that Liu Juntao was happy with his son, but even most of the heroes and gentry in Shandong, as well as Lei Bo and Yan Shenggong, the commanders of the city guards, all learned the news.

Within a few days, Hu Dexing stationed in Dongping Prefecture, Zhang Xiaojun in Anshan Town, Yan Hu in Yushan Military Bureau, Gao Ran in Zhang Qiuzhen, and Chen Ziping in Huakou Town sent congratulatory gifts; Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bo to send Li Qianhu to Daoxi, and Yan Shenggong also sent Mr. Shan to Daoxi.

Liu Juntao was also overjoyed when he saw Mr. Shan and Li Qianhu coming, leaving the two to be guests in Yushan Town for a while, and let the two go back after the full moon of the child.

April.

Liu Juntao held a feast in Yushan Town to celebrate the full moon for his son.

On this day, almost the entire Shandong Haoqiang, gentry, businessmen, all the characters with heads and faces are all present, Yushan Town is suddenly very lively, full of lights, even more lively than the New Year.

The people and villagers in Yushan Town are also beaming, after all, Liu Juntao, as the master of everyone, is happy to have a noble son, which is the backbone of all the people in Yushan Town, how can everyone be unhappy?

What's more, Liu Juntao also distributed two taels of silver red envelopes to each family, which made the people in Yushan Town cheer.

At this time, the Yushan Town Government Office put up lanterns and held a feast, Tang Yu, who was in charge of the banquet, set up hundreds of tables of wine and food, and the characters from all parties who came to Daoxi were staggered and drunk, and the men and maids of the Ministry of Commerce continued to shuttle among them, pouring wine and adding food to the guests, and the entire government office was very lively.

It didn't take long for Liu Juntao to take Guo Muying to toast with the child in his arms, and the guests present congratulated him one after another and clinked glasses with Liu Juntao one by one.

Especially Mr. Shan and Li Qianhu, the two of them were already red from drinking at this time, but when they saw Liu Juntao coming, they pulled Liu Juntao to drink two more glasses, looking at the tiger-headed child, the two of them also liked it.

At this time, Mr. Shan asked, "Mr. Liu Lian, has the child ever named him?" ”

"Hehe, not yet."

Hearing this, Mr. Shan deliberately raised his voice a few points and said loudly: "That's right!" Mr. Liu Lian, when I came, Yan Shenggong once said to me: If the child has not yet been named, Yan Shenggong wants to give the child a name for Liu Lian to choose, how about it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked over and stared at the child in Guo Muying's arms, almost all of them were envious.

What a glory it is to give the name of the Holy Father!

At this time, although the official position of Yan Shenggong is not high, there is not much money and food, and there are not many people, but this respected status is highly respected by all officials and people.

Mr. Shan's words are enough to show that Yan Shenggong and Liu Juntao have a close relationship, and it is enough to show that Yushan Town and Confucius Mansion in Qufu County are already an alliance of advancing and retreating together!

Although Liu Juntao does not fancy the name of Yan Shenggong too much like everyone else, he has to admit that at this time, the reputation of Yan Shenggong is still the first in Daming, and even Guo Muying next to him is excited and his eyes are shining, not to mention that his son accepted the name given by Yan Shenggong, which will also help the future development of Yushan Town, why not?

So, Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the Holy Father, this is a blessing for dogs!" ”

Mr. Shan smiled, and then said loudly: "Yan Sheng Gong has a saying: the tiger father has no dogs, and the wealthy are talented; Liu Lian's eldest son will definitely be the pillar of the country in the future, if it is called the national building, how about it? ”

Hearing this name, Liu Juntao almost laughed, and said secretly in his heart: "Fortunately, it's called Liu Guodong, if it's called Liu Guoliang, then wouldn't I still have a Ming version of table tennis?" ”

However, Liu Juntao said with a smile on the surface: "Okay! That dog is called Liu Guodong! Thank you for the name! ”

Mr. Shan raised his head and laughed, and then drank two glasses with Liu Juntao, and everyone stepped forward to congratulate Liu Juntao and congratulate his young son on his name.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Muying had already returned to the backyard with the child to rest, while Liu Juntao stood at the front desk of the banquet, and Tang Yu next to him clapped his hands when he saw this, and said loudly: "Please sit quietly, my family practice always has something to say." ”

Everyone looked over when they heard this, only to see Liu Juntao smile and said: "You are all friends of my Yushan Town, I am grateful to be able to come today!" For this reason, I have specially prepared a great gift for all of you! ”

When everyone heard this, they all responded and asked what kind of gift it was.

Liu Juntao said: "The big gift I prepared for you is Xuzhou!" ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect that the full moon wine placed by Liu Juntao still had this meaning?

Mr. Shan and Li Qianhu also glanced at each other, and both of them realized that Liu Juntao was ready to make a move on the Xu family and Ye Zongliu!

Really!

Liu Juntao looked at the people who were talking about it, and immediately said: "Everyone in the Xu family in Xuzhou knows that the Xu family has monopolized our iron business in Shandong. Moreover, the thieves of Ye Zongliu's department, who had poisoned Qingzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion last year, were also in Xuzhou and were clinging to the Xu family, how could I let go of the Xu family and Ye Zongliu in Shandong! ”

Speaking of which, everyone understood what Liu Juntao meant, Yushan Town was going to leave a hand on the Xu family and Ye Zong!

At this time, Mr. Shan asked, "How is Mr. Liu Lian going to act?" How does this Xuzhou serve as a gift? ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Mr. Shan asked a good question! ”

Liu Juntao looked at everyone, and then continued: "I, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Yushan Town, are preparing to go south in a big way and start various businesses in Xuzhou. When the time comes, as long as you are willing, you will either invest money in my Yushan Town, or do business on your own and receive the protection of my Yushan Town. This is my great gift to you! ”

Everyone understood that Liu Juntao was going to take everyone to carve up the various businesses in Xuzhou, and was ready to completely crush the Xu family's industry!

After hearing this, everyone's hearts are hot, Xuzhou has a lot of mines and iron since ancient times, if you can get a piece of the pie, you can accumulate several generations of family business!

At this time, Li Qianhu asked, "What if the Xu family and Ye Zongliu obstruct it?" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Juntao, their eyes full of expectation.

Liu Juntao smiled and said: "We are all serious businessmen, if the Xu family and Ye Zongliu have a business war with us, then we will treat each other with courtesy, and each of them will rely on their ability to win or lose!" If the Xu family and Ye Zongliu don't talk about morality and want to be rude with us, my Yushan Town Escort Team and the Yanzhou Mansion People's League are not vegetarians! ”

Liu Juntao's words couldn't be clearer, if the Xu family and Ye Zong stayed in business, everyone would use the methods of businessmen to confront each other; But Yushan Town has accumulated an astronomical amount of silver with the Yushan ticket number, who can compete with it? The Xu family and Ye Zongliu have no chance of winning at all!

But if the Xu family and Ye Zongliu choose to use force, it will be equivalent to giving Liu Juntao an excuse to move his troops south, and then he can take the Yushan Town Guards and the Yanzhou Mansion militia to directly kill the Xu family and Ye Zongliu's thieves!

Hearing this, everyone understood in their hearts that the Xu family and Ye Zongliu were already finished, and there was no longer any life!
