Chapter 65 How to Respond

Of course, Zhang Shuting also knew about this, but he didn't know why he didn't do it later.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuting was not interested in this kind of thing, and for a while, he even became uninterested in everything Liu Chaozi said.

Of course, Liu Lanzi took the initiative to say these words to him, and at this time he completely understood, just to let him stand on their side and unanimously oppose Zhang Lianqi as the president.

If Zhang Lianqi wants to be the president, of course he is against it. Who Zhang Lianqi is, he should know better than others. Not only is it clear, this Zhang Lianqi is simply against him everywhere.

From luring bandits to his house to rob him to instigating Huo Jinglin to destroy his cellar, every time he caused great harm. To say that he doesn't hate him is also a lie. To say that he didn't want to take revenge on him would be true. But the rule left by his ancestors is to ask the men of the Zhang family to be virtuous people from generation to generation.

The so-called "virtuous people" are also virtuous and talented people. When Zhang Shuting was very young, his father told him that to be a "virtuous person" is not to harm others, not to harm others, not to be kind to others, and to learn the soju skills passed down from his family.

Zhang Shuting believes that their Zhang family, which is also relying on such an ancestral motto, not only has made their own pot undefeated for hundreds of years, but also has become famous within a radius of hundreds of miles.

It is precisely with this kind of thinking that since his father passed away and he hurriedly took over the pot, although Zhang Shuting does not think that he has achieved "virtuous" and "good", he believes that he has been keeping up with "virtuous" and "good".

Therefore, although he was hurt by Zhang Lianqi again and again, he did not think about how to retaliate against him, but always tried to find ways to survive being hurt, or to avoid being hurt again.

At this time, hearing that Liu Chaozi asked him to stand at their place and oppose Zhang Lianqi as the president, Zhang Shuting was even more silent for a while.

In other words, if Liu Chaozi didn't say this to him, Zhang Shuting might still stand up against it at that time, and when he heard Liu Chaozi's words, for a while, he even had a feeling of being used again.

Therefore, until Liu Chaozi talked to him a lot, and until Governor Gu came to the council hall accompanied by Xiaoma and several other county officials, Zhang Shuting did not say a few words to Liu Chaozi.

But then, Zhang Shuting quickly knew that the content of Governor Gu's request for them to discuss the matter was indeed as Liu Chaozi said.

However, due to the unanimous opposition of Liu Chaozi and them, they originally wanted to elect Zhang Lianqi as the president of the Ansu County Chamber of Commerce, but they had to be changed to the president of the county temporary chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce was also forced to change to a temporary chamber of commerce, and a formal chamber of commerce and president would be established after the election.

This result greatly annoyed the governor of Shinraigu, who had a brick knife face and talked incessantly, but when the next item was announced, the decision to increase the business surcharge by 10% on the basis of the existing base was announced, and everyone was in an uproar and unanimously opposed it.

After Zhang Shuting heard this, although he did not react strongly like others, his heart was also tight.

In other words, listening to what Liu Chaozi said just now, because he had a prejudice against Liu Chaozi, he didn't completely take it to heart, and at this time, from the mouth of the new governor, Zhang Shuting inexplicably gave birth to a kind of sadness in his heart, and then anger.

Zhang Shuting was angry, not angry at how much business surtax was increased, but also angry at the fact that in this year of disaster, the county office not only did not consider how to relieve the disaster, but also levied nearly 10% of the business surtax on the merchants to strengthen the extremely poor public security situation in the county.

Unexpectedly, when the governor saw that everyone was opposed, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, so before everyone finished stating their opinions, he announced that he would hand over the tax matter to the newly established county provisional chamber of commerce and the second section of the county office to jointly handle it, and hand it over within a month, and those who refused to pay it would be punished by revolutionary military law. Then he got up and walked away.

When everyone saw it, they were dumbfounded again.

At noon, because of the establishment of the county temporary chamber of commerce, Zhang Lianqi and several of his close ministers booked a few tables at Qingchunyong Restaurant outside the north gate to invite everyone's guests. There were not many people who went to eat, and Zhang Shuting even left the county office and returned home directly.

After lunch, he was about to go to Zongkou, but when he finished eating, he walked back to his room sullenly and sat cross-legged on the kang.

There was such an anger in his heart, and even a faint impulse. This impulse, like the sudden flood a few days ago, came quietly and inexplicably in his feelings.

He pulled the small basket next to him, which was only the size of two palms and filled with golden tobacco leaves. In the basket, not only is it full of tobacco leaves, but there is also a tobacco pot with a carved silk cloth bag next to the basket.

Zhang Shuting took out the smoke pot, and saw that this smoke pot was only two lengths, and the Hetian Yuzui Golden Smoke Pot looked small and precious, and it was a treasure passed down from generation to generation by their Zhang family.

However, Zhang Shuting also knew that his grandfather did not smoke, and his father did not like to smoke very much, and he did not have much interest in cigarettes. Therefore, this smoking pot is not specially prepared for the men of their Zhang family, but mainly for entertaining distinguished guests.

"When the family is together, parents and elders come first; When guests come, they regard their parents and elders as ......"

This is also what his father and grandfather often taught him when he was alive. And at this time, he suddenly felt that these things that were friends with others, kindness to others, and things that were superior to others, were like a big stone in his heart, pressing him a little breathless, and that nameless impulse, he could accurately feel it, and it was rapidly expanding in his heart.

So, at last he reached out and took out the expensive pot from the silk bag, refilled the tobacco leaves, and lit it, and he wanted to be in the room, so that his mind could be calm and calm. I also took this opportunity to think about the problems in front of him.

The first problem, is whether to raise funds to collect sorghum abroad as Qi Zhankui and Lao Sun said, if it is slowly collected according to his intentions, will it really be as Qi Zhankui said, once it can't be harvested, it will really smash the brand of Runquanyong Burning Pot?

The second problem is whether Governor Gu should resolutely resist the payment of the additional business tax as discussed in private.

But if others don't hand it over, Zhang Lianqi, who has just taken office as the president of the temporary chamber of commerce, may not take them first, and if he doesn't hand over his own pot, Zhang Lianqi may use his own pot.

In fact, he thought about this when he walked out of the county office. Because of this Zhang Lianqi, Zhang Shuting at this time was already familiar with him.

He believed he could do it.
