Chapter 45: Guilty of Petitioning
The thirteen sets of mansions bought from Steward Liu can't fully meet the accommodation problem of more than 120 people in the ghost soldiers, but Su Zedong has planned to let Zhang Dexing, Zhao Youqian, Liao Xingtian and other more outstanding cadres live in Dongzhen Mansion with him first, anyway, the mansion sent by Zhang Shicheng is spacious enough and has enough rooms.

When the time is ripe, I will send them a large house on East Street.
As for the three exquisite two-person rooms on West Street, let the three Wen Xuan and the three Wu Xuan team members live in first, and if necessary, let them move to Dongzhen Mansion and change another group of people to live.
After solving the problem of the brothers' accommodation, Su Zedong began to prepare for negotiations with the Qingzhu Gang, and after discussing with Liu Zhenming, Zhang Dexing and Xiao Qi'er, he decided to let the newly emerging Zhang Dexing come forward to lend him money.
This is to consider that Zhang Dexin is a new face, which can lower the vigilance of the other party and is more conducive to talking about land matters in the north of the city; Second, those bowls of expensive daughter red were all ordered by Su Xuedong in the final analysis, if he wanted to come forward in person, leaning his neck and exposing his nostrils to lend money to others, this would really not be conducive to friendship with the Qingzhu Gang......
On the third day after the matter of borrowing money was discussed, Chen Sanqiang took Guan Sanye, who had not been able to lift since the night in the casino, to the door of Dongzhenguan's mansion.
However, the difference from the previous one is that this time the other party is obviously "prepared" - Guan Sanye has a few more things in his hands, and when Zhang Dexing opened the door and took a closer look, he realized that the other party had taken a few thorns, and it seemed that he was planning to take a thorn and ask for a crime!
Since the boss wants to solve this matter by himself, Zhang Dexing is not considered to be stiff in this matter, and he can't fight Guan Sanye like Liu Zhenming, but he can't lose the majesty of the powerful person, so from welcoming them into the door and letting the people serve tea and water, and then talking about business after a few polite words, Zhang Dexing behaved neither humble nor arrogant, showing both generosity and majesty.
In fact, the reason for this is very simple, Chen Sanqiang's attitude is very good and cooperative, Guan Sanye is also sitting on the side, bowing his head and not daring to speak, he was scared by Liu Zhenming, who was staring at him in the dark in the hall, and he didn't want to miss the second brother's matter, so in this meeting, the two sides talked very harmoniously.
Chen Sanqiang "borrowed" 300 taels of silver from Su Zedong, and Dongzhen Company also obtained a quarter of the development rights of the wasteland in the north of the city and 200 strong men who brought their own grain.
This piece of land was originally obtained by the Qingzhu Gang relying on local forces and begging from Zhang Shicheng, but now the matter is helpless, and only Chen Sanqiang, who is in charge of the economy and negotiating with the Qingzhu Gang, is transferred to Dongzhenguan to take care of it.
In this way, Chen Sanqiang has the money to buy back his dignity, and Dongzhen Company also has land to get, and both parties are happy, but Xiang Feng's face stinks.
He is a person with an official background, how can he not know the change in the ownership of the wasteland in the north of the city? After formally forming an antagonistic relationship with Dongzhen Company, Xiang Feng's most taboo was that Su Zedong would interfere in the land reclamation work in the north of the city, and he firmly believed in his heart that as long as he was willing to work hard, the land had been planted, and he could become as rich as Shen Wansan.
At that time, he no longer needs to look at Zhang Shixin's eyes, and he doesn't have to rely on the Xiang family's financial resources and relationship with the Shen family to do things.
But this time, Ren was up to Xiang Feng to calculate how much money he had spent on local officials and the squires and tyrants in the north of the city, he didn't expect that Su Zedong would actually get the right to reclaim the wasteland in the north of the city from the Qingzhu Gang!
The difficulty of this is tantamount to pulling teeth from the mouth of a tiger! So does Su Zedong have the ability to reach the sky, can he take down the Qingzhu Gang?
Now that the matter has come to this point, Dongzhen Company has obtained that piece of land, no matter how much Xiang Feng complains and how angry he is, it will be useless, so he is determined that he can no longer let Dongzhen Company mix well in the wasteland in the north of the city, and he must use the power and wealth in his hands to make Dongzhen unable to eat a little meat in the north of the city!
Su Zedong knew that Xiang Feng wanted to hinder Dongzhen's development in the north of the city, and he had already won the first step in power.
The wasteland in the north of the city is actually composed of more than a dozen villages, each village has its own chief, and each of the chiefs has responded to the call of the Chengwang government to take the strong men of the village to the farmland in the north of the city to open up wasteland and farm!
Therefore, what Dongzhen got from the Qingzhu Gang was only three of the dozen or so villages, and the land allocated to them accounted for a quarter of the total wasteland.
In this way, Xiang Feng, who has an official background, is the head of these dozen villages, in terms of the official position of later generations, he is now the town mayor, and Su Zedong is the township head.
Let a hairy boy who relies on his family background and connections to be his boss?
Su Zedong, who worked hard with his brothers to belong to Dongzhen Company, was naturally unwilling to do it, so this land nominally belonged to Dongzhen, but the actual jurisdiction was still taken care of by the second leader of the Qingzhu Gang, who had an ambiguous relationship with Dongzhen!
These two masters are very good at being people, and from the beginning of the drunken immortal building where Su Zedong and others were brought to him, he had a calculation in his heart.
Zuixianlou is a time-honored high-end restaurant in Gaoyou City, but the former big owner of this restaurant is under the joint operation of the Xiang family and the Shen family, and after getting a sum of money very wisely, he went to find another way out in other places, and the current big owner of Zuixianlou is Xiang Feng.
Therefore, Chen Sanqiang took a two-faced path, neither wanted to offend Su Zedong, let alone offend Xiang Feng, the silver taels he ate and drank would eventually enter Xiang Feng's pocket; Xiang Feng was a big businessman in business, and after getting the wine money of more than 300 silver taels, he really didn't squeeze the few villages under Chen Sanqiang's jurisdiction too much, but just gave a few verbal warnings.
In the second week after Dongzhen obtained the development rights of several villages in the north of the city, Su Zedong obtained from Chen Sanqiang that the reclamation of wasteland was operating normally, and was not suppressed by the above documents.
Su Zedong thought of Xiang Feng's various signs and deeds, and concluded that this person is definitely too interest-minded, and he is still a person who only cares about immediate interests, and he does not know the potential development factors.
He, a rich second generation who grew up holding golden eggs in the city, has never farmed or planted in his life, so he naturally thinks that the value of three hundred taels of silver is far greater than the land of those villages in the north of the city, but he doesn't know that if the land is successfully reclaimed, after planting crops such as wheat, cotton, and soybeans:
What is harvested is not only a heavy load of grain and silver, but also the people's livelihood and happiness in the voice of the people!
This is the so-called people's desire, and only the people are the greatest potential value of everything!
Of course, if he could understand, he wouldn't be Xiang Feng!
If it weren't for Xiang Feng, he would never use his background and wealth to attack competitors in all aspects, and he didn't know how to cooperate.
Su Zedong is different, since Xiang Feng cooperates with Dongzhen Company with strong technology without knowing how to do it, then he is also a businessman, and naturally he also needs a business partner, so the second leader of the Qingzhu Gang became his ally by chance, and this partner was sent by Xiang Feng himself to a certain extent.
However, Su Zedong and the management of Dongzhen Company were disappointed with the ability of this partner to do things and overall planning, and they have been given the right to develop wasteland in the north of the city for more than a month.
However, the development efficiency of wasteland is still very low, and after reading Xiao Qi'er's one-month work report, it is basically normal. Many of Dongzhen's projects are now on the right track.
The blacksmith's business is still saturated this month due to the previous month's heat, but there will still be a small upsurge when the war comes; Salt sales in the north and south began slowly two months ago, and the monthly income is now basically the same as the same period the year before.
Working in the shop on West Street, Su Zedong hoped that Dongzhen Company would not be too deep immediately, so he first "attracted investment" and asked Cheng Zeheng to find some reliable people on the road to do some small business; After Zhang Dexing completed the task of peace talks with the Qingzhu Gang, he and the remaining 19 brothers went to various parts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to recruit new people half a month ago.
It is estimated that in a few days, Dongzhen Company will be able to usher in hundreds of fresh blood; The manufacturing of copper coins and silver, Su Zedong handed over to He Zhenren's full responsibility, Xiao Qi'er was responsible for supervision, and the work of rushing to make it was also carried out in full swing after the copper and silver mines were in place.
However, the only fly in the ointment is the development of land in the north of the city, which invests the most money and obtains the least return.
The reason why I want to develop this land is to develop it well, plant things, and get economic benefits at the same time, and more importantly, get social benefits; The second is to let Zhang Shicheng take a few more glances at Dongzhen Company, which is beneficial for Dongzhen Company to gain a foothold in Gaoyou City and the entire south.
Chen Sanqiang is not effective, which can also be expected, after all, he is the boss of the local underworld, not a doer or farmer, it is estimated that he will get benefits from it after establishing a good relationship with the local farmers and lieutenants; But he can't be blamed, he was personally sent into the gap between Dongzhen Company and Xiang Feng Group by Su Zedong.....
