On November 8, 900 spearmen and 100 cavalry arrived at the Wangjia Granary on the outskirts of the county, led by monkeys, who would provide armed support to the members of the Grain Chamber of Commerce.

On November 9, the distance from Longtang Town to Laosi City officially broke ground - Wang Shihua planned to build five restaurants, ten inns and some facades and residential areas here.

On November 11, in order to complete the second step of Wang Shihua's manpower gathering, Wang Shihua began to recruit laborers, expand the road surface, and build ten new villages...... At the same time, Wang Shihua formally ordered the chief of each village and village to begin to take in the victims in a selective manner -- this was a test of the three major families before he resorted to a killer move.

The three families did not react to this, but sent people to urge Wang Shihua to prepare to go to the Jiangsu and Shanghai areas to purchase grain, Wang Shihua sneered in his heart, but on the surface he sent out the dog who had just returned, and repeatedly instructed: Although he brought money this time, he must not purchase, nor do he mess around, but just observe with his eyes.

Nov. 20, morning.

After Wang Shihua finished practicing in the morning, had breakfast, and was in a daze, he went to inspect the construction site with his hands behind his back and according to his habits these days.

I have to say that the Wang family is really a prosperous scene today: there are construction scenes everywhere, everyone is smiling, and even the victims are actively involved...... On the other hand, outside, it was miserable, there was cracked scorched earth everywhere, there was no pastoral scenery of the past, everyone had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes were weak. The point is that this spirit is very different: the eyes of the Wang family are full of pride and excitement, and elsewhere they are more at a loss for the future and inferiority for the present.

Wang Shihua inspected the construction site, but did not find that the happy 'bird' in the past was circling around him, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and it was not easy to ask others, so he could only leave in frustration.

As soon as I walked to the town, I saw Li Jieying sitting on a small bench, writing and drawing.

But as soon as she saw Wang Shihua, Li Jieying glared at him angrily, the corners of her mouth curled, and she went into the house with a bench.

This aroused Wang Shihua's interest.

With his hands behind his back, he walked into Li Ji Leather Goods Store with a smile, and saw Li Jieying standing by the counter, and said with a smile as he walked over: "Yingzi, what's wrong today?" How can you leave when you see Brother Shihua? I remember that I didn't seem to mess with you~! ”

As soon as Li Jieying saw Wang Shihua coming over, she turned her back, but as soon as she heard this, she immediately turned around and looked at Wang Shihua angrily, and said angrily: "You provoked me." ”

"I've been so busy these days that my feet haven't touched the ground, and I haven't even seen you, how can I mess with you......" As he spoke, he lifted a chair, sat aside, and said with a smile: "Tell me, how did I provoke you?" ”

"Okay, let me ask you, did you let Shifu ignore me?"

Hey! Shifu, this kid, is really a soft bone, and he actually sold me so quickly.

However, how could Wang Shihua admit this, he immediately shook his head and smiled: "Do you think this is possible?" ”

"Quite possibly. Shifu, this kid is afraid of you, if you want him to ignore me, he will never dare to ignore me. ”

"Yingzi, you are really shrewd, you were confused for a while, and you were actually tricked by this guy Shifu." Wang Shihua smiled bitterly and raised his hands to make a surrender form, and said: "With my relationship with Shaoxun, I naturally want to kiss and kiss, how can it be destroyed?" Besides, you're smart, capable, and pretty and generous, and you're more than a bastard with the rich world. With a brother or sister like you, it's too late for me to laugh. You're right? ”

Li Jieying thought about it, and probably felt that it should be like this, nodded seriously, her tone was much softer, and she whispered: "Then why did he say that you didn't allow him to take care of me?" ”

"It depends on the situation, if you push him into a hurry, and he can't find a good excuse, he can only push me. If you don't believe it, if you ask this kid now, he won't dare to see you. If you push him again, he will either push me or my father. ”

"He's really lying to me, I'm going to settle accounts with him."

As he spoke, he was about to rush out of the door in a rage.

"Wait a minute."

"Brother Shihua, do you have something?"

"No, I just remind you that there are more people in the town now, and you should bring more guards when you go out in the future, so as not to be in danger."

"Good!"

In response, Li Jieying's figure flashed out the door.

Wang Shihua shook his head and stood up with a wry smile, humming a little song, fantasizing about the fate of Wang Shifu, a kid who was taught a lesson, and left happily.

After this interruption, Wang Shihua's mood was much better.

After walking around the town, I saw that the victims were consciously squatting on both sides of the street, not daring to go to the middle of the road to ask passers-by for demand, and from time to time there were patrols of ten people on the street, patrolling with guns on their backs, the order was good, the vendors were like clouds, and the bustle was extraordinary, almost every household was doing a prosperous business, and everyone was busy sweating but showing a sincere smile, Wang Shihua's mood was better.

After wandering around the town all morning, Wang Shihua returned to the construction site with unfinished thinking.

"Brother Shihua!"

Zhang Shuhua jumped out suddenly, startling Wang Shihua. Still, it was the cheerful and sweet cry that sounded pleasant.

"Shuhua, you always love to scare me so much, I will be scared to death by you sooner or later."

"How is that possible?" As soon as Zhang Shuhua ran to Wang Shihua's side, she naturally grabbed Wang Shihua's right arm and said with a smile: "Brother Shihua is a hero of the world, how can he be scared to death." By the way, Brother Shihua, are you looking for me in the morning? ”

is really accustomed to becoming natural, and was held up by Zhang Shuhua in public a few times, Wang Shihua said that he didn't listen to her, so he could only let it go.

"Nope."

"But listen to them, you called me a few times, and when you saw that I wasn't there, you left unhappy."

I grass! How dare you speculate like this, make up so nonsense, I ...... I...... Well, you're guessing a little bit right.

"No, I just saw that you weren't there, and I thought you were sick and was about to go to your house."

When Zhang Shuhua heard this, she smiled: she stayed next door all morning, Wang Shihua really wanted to go to the house to see herself, how could she not know. This shows that Wang Shihua is making excuses, and what those people say is true.

However, Zhang Shuhua was very smart and didn't ask again, but smiled and waved hello to the people on the side of the road - everyone knew about her and Wang Shihua, and now, when someone publicly called her the fourth lady, she could agree with a smile.

After accompanying Wang Shihua around, he pulled Wang Shihua aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Shihua, can I ask you for something?" ”

Wang Shihua smiled and nodded, but he never expected that he only grasped the general direction, but ignored some details that should not be underestimated.

Zhang Shuhua has a good sister named Wang Fanghua, because both of them have the word 'Hua' in their names, and the family is only separated by a wall, so they are particularly close to each other.

Although Wang Shihua stipulated that some relatives could be taken in in moderately, because Wang Fanghua's family lived in the town, there was no house for them for the time being, so the relatives taken in by each family could only live in their own homes.

Xiangxi people have been extremely hospitable since ancient times, no matter how difficult the family is, if relatives and fat friends come, they will do their best to satisfy their relatives. But Wang Fanghua's family has already taken in two relatives who have come to vote, and the family really can't live there, so for other relatives who come to vote, they can only let the elderly and children live at home, and the young people are huddled together with the victims, and often give them food.

Yesterday was Wang Fanghua's father's 50th birthday, and relatives and friends were invited to celebrate. Some of the relatives who helped were busy until midnight before returning to sleep in the makeshift huts built on the hills outside the town.

Because the Wang family is strong, although the public security environment does not dare to say that the road is not left untouched and the door is not closed at night, but there is no bandit who dares to seek a way to die, so everyone's vigilance is not very high, but they didn't expect that something almost happened.

Several sisters of the same age were busy to the end, and Wang Fanghua naturally wanted to send them back.

As soon as I got out of the east exit of the town, I saw five or six men blocking in the middle of the road. Before Zhang Shuhua could ask, the other party surrounded the four sisters.

The next step is naturally to play hooligans...... Wang Fanghua said that the people in his town should be respectful, otherwise they would call people, but the other party didn't care about these at all, but was more anxious to do things. The displaced people not far away were afraid of the majesty of the Wang family, although some people shouted on the mountain, but these people only replied, "The Wang family is doing business, if you want to die, you will come down." It frightened the homeless people into being angry and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that a sister was about to be pulled into the grass by two men, and she was going to be killed by something, Wang Fanghua was in a hurry and shouted, "I am Wang Fanghua, my father celebrates his fiftieth birthday today, relatives and friends come to save me." ”

Another sister also hurriedly called out her name and begged for help.

This attracted those relatives and friends on the mountain to run with torches and scare the hooligans away. That's it, these hooligans secretly hated Wang Fanghua for ruining their good deeds, and kicked Wang Fanghua's little stomach and feet fiercely when they left. This morning, Zhang Shuhua accompanied Wang Fanghua and did not come to the construction site.

Originally, Wang Fanghua and his family were afraid of the retaliation of those people, so they didn't dare to tell Zhang Shuhua about it, but Zhang Shuhua overheard the doctor say that the two kicks that kicked Wang Fanghua were a dead hand, and they had to rest in bed for a few days...... Zhang Shuhua quietly asked Wang Fanghua, and Wang Fanghua had to tell Zhang Shuhua the truth.

Although Zhang Shuhua was told not to tell Wang Shihua, Zhang Shuhua was resentful, so she felt that she should give her good sister a head, and she trusted Wang Shihua very much, so she couldn't help but tell Wang Shihua.

After listening to Zhang Shuhua's narration, Wang Shihua suddenly thought of a problem that he should not ignore at all: reputation! Although these victims were forced to starve and were attracted by the Wang family's large reserves of grain, Wang Shihua wanted to let them stay as willingly as possible, and to do this, they must have a factor that can even determine success or failure - reputation! Only a good reputation can make the victims believe or trust; Only a good reputation combined with strong strength can make the victims feel safe and stay; Only a good reputation coupled with a good reputation can make the victims voluntarily become members of the Wang family, so as to willingly work for Wang Shihua...... Fame is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is precious: if you want to obtain it, it must be accumulated over a long period of time, but if you want to destroy it, you can complete it in the blink of an eye.

Now, there are people who want to undermine this point, how can Wang Shihua agree -- whether these people are Wang family members or not, Wang Shihua must find them out and severely punish them. Otherwise, once the news of 'the Wang family bullying the victims' spreads, it will be too late to make amends. Especially now that the victims are gathered in piles, and the news is transmitted quickly, it is destined that the time for rescue cannot be delayed.
