Chapter 245: Mao Shengyuan resumes business

The seventh year of the Apocalypse is a bumper harvest year for the sea wolf, because of the results of this battle, the sea wolf has achieved unprecedented development.

The defeat of the Fujian government on all fronts made the Fujian government completely lose the capital to continue to deal with the sea wolves, and since the armistice, it has been completely honest.

The silver taels of compensation began to be delivered to the sea wolf in batches in more than a month after the two sides finalized it, and Yu Xiaotian also withdrew a large number of ships operating along the coast, and at the same time withdrew the army that went deep into the land to Xiamen Island.

After entering February of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the coastal areas of Fujian, which was in turmoil, gradually returned to calm.

The shops of the Maoshengyuan firms that had been raided by the government in various parts of the land began to be unsealed in February, and the men and shopkeepers of Maoshengyuan who had been arrested or escaped before returned to the shops one by one.

Including Li Yi, in early February, he returned to Fuzhou City in a gorgeous sedan chair escorted by a group of people.

When Li Yi returned to Fuzhou City, many local businessmen and even officials greeted Li Yi's return outside the city gate, and Li Yi's current identity was actually completely semi-public.

As long as people who have a little deal with Mao Shengyuan know that Li Yi is actually the spokesperson of the sea wolf on land now, if it is changed to before, after knowing this point, they may be jealous of Li Yi, and may not even dare to deal with him easily.

But now, Li Yi has become a hot figure, because strength is such a thing, wherever it is placed, it is a pass anywhere, and the strength of the sea wolf in a head-to-head confrontation with the Fujian official this time has made everyone look sideways.

Everyone knows very well that the Fujian government has lost very badly this time, and even so miserable that it can no longer threaten the existence of the sea wolf for many years, with such a backing to protect Li Yi, now Li Yi can basically walk sideways in Fujian, and few people dare to do anything to him.

And everyone knows that after this war, the entire coastal area of Fujian has been included in the bag of the sea wolf, and there are many businessmen in Fujian who go to sea to do business, if anyone offends the sea wolf, then he will not want to do business in the future, so at this time, as long as there are people who can get a little bit of edge, they all rush to praise Li Yi's field, at least get familiar with it first, and it will be easy to talk later.

So this time Li Yi returned to Fuzhou, and the number of people greeted was so large that it was almost catching up with the scale of the new governor's arrival, which shows how far the prestige of the sea wolf has reached.

After all, Li Yi was born in a businessman, although now he has been branded as a thief, but Li Yi feels that this brand is indeed worth it, not only does it not affect his reputation, but on the contrary, it has become a kind of glory for him.

He was very glad that many years ago, he could choose to cooperate with Yu Xiaotian, and when Yu Xiaotian's strength increased wildly, he took the initiative to tie himself to Yu Xiaotian's warship and share the same fate with him.

If he Li Yi used to be a slightly famous businessman in Fuzhou, then now he Li Yi has become the hottest businessman in the southeast, if he didn't do this at the beginning, it is estimated that now it is at most the same as before, wandering in a small circle, and it is impossible to have such a scenery as today.

So Li Yi is in a good mood now, but he didn't get carried away because of this, and his nostrils were facing the sky.

When he saw so many weighty officials and businessmen greeting him outside the gate of Fuzhou, Li Yi didn't hold him up, so he hurriedly ordered someone to get off the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair, and walked to the crowd that greeted him.

Although there is no heavyweight official among these people who greet him, because after all, Li Yi's identity is more embarrassing, and this time the government is disgraced, if the official does not shy away from suspicion and comes to greet Li Yi in person, it is inevitable that he may be caught by his colleagues by the pigtails in the future and become a stain on them.

Therefore, the officials naturally did not dare to do this easily, but they did not dare to come to welcome Li Yi back to Fuzhou City in person, but it did not mean that they did not say that almost every heavyweight official in Fuzhou sent his staff or some distant relatives who were close to the border, and it was inconvenient for them to come forward, so they let these people come forward on their behalf, which would also offend Li Yi in the future.

Now offending Li Yi is actually offending Yu Xiaotian and offending the entire sea wolf, now everyone who is an official in Fujian, who has more or less nothing to do with sea trade? Therefore, if you can establish some relationship with Li Yi privately at this time, at least you will have the opportunity to benefit from the sea trade business in the future.

Li Yi has a good memory, often meets people once or twice, he can remember this person's name and origin, this is a good capital for him to do business, he used to use his own advantage, and the official play well, in addition, no matter how late he sleeps every night, he is always used to writing a diary, recording the important things and people encountered that day, and having to read it in the air, save it from forgetting.

So almost everyone Li Yi can name these people who greeted him outside the city gate today, and at least he can see who they represent behind them.

For these people, Li Yi didn't care about them, according to the order they arranged by themselves, they greeted them one by one, and did not ignore them because some people were weaker and ranked behind.

Li Yi can be said to be handy at doing this kind of thing, if Yu Xiaotian is asked to do this kind of thing, it will definitely make him dizzy and annoyed.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian has always believed that everyone has their own strengths, and as long as they are put in the right position, they are all useful, and Li Yi is obviously the most suitable person to do this.

When they saw Li Yi meeting them so peacefully, everyone present secretly praised them, at least they felt that this sea wolf was not so difficult to deal with, as long as they cooperated with them well in the future, there would be no less benefits.

When Li Yi finally returned to the Maoshengyuan general store where he left, he saw that someone had already prepared firecrackers here, and as soon as he appeared, he lit the firecrackers.

Many people chatted from afar;

"Look, that is the chief shopkeeper of Mao Shengyuan, Li Yi Li, the big shopkeeper, he represents the sea wolf! Gee! Look at the scenery of other people, this shop has been confiscated by the government, and it can still be returned to them, amazing! It's amazing!

This time, the government has kicked the iron plate, and the standard stealing of chickens is not a loss of rice! Hey! Let's see who dares to provoke this lush source in the future! ”

"Yes! I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I thought that this time the sea wolf was going to be finished, but I didn't expect that people were so powerful, so many officers and soldiers were not their opponents! After that, on the Fujian Sea, they have the final say! That's a lot of money! ”

Just as Li Yi walked back to Maoshengyuan, a large number of people knelt down outside the shop, and these people all looked at Li Yi with eager eyes and gave Li Yi a salute.

Li Yi saw that these people who greeted him were all former Mao Shengyuan's buddies or managers, these people were temporarily dismissed and hid in the past few months, many people thought that it would be impossible to return to Mao Shengyuan to do things in the future, but what he didn't expect was that it was only a few months, and Li Yiran came back.

Even the shop of Maoshengyuan that was confiscated was returned to them by the government, and someone got the news early and ran back to start cleaning and tidying up the shop, waiting for Li Yi's return.

Working in Maoshengyuan, it is undoubtedly a very good thing for these guys and those in charge, because the wages given to them by Maoshengyuan are basically far more than the wages offered by their peers to the guys, and to work for Maoshengyuan, in addition to giving monthly money every month, before the New Year every year, they will also be given a lot of festival money, and there are some indefinite amounts of bonuses during the three festivals every year.

Some of the elderly who do things for Maoshengyuan are also guaranteed that when they can't do it one day, they don't have to worry about the problem of pension, Maoshengyuan will take care of their pension problems, and will give some subsidies every month as usual, at least to ensure that after they are old, they lose their ability to work, and will not seriously affect their quality of life because of the loss of income.

With these guarantees, Mao Shengyuan's guys have deep feelings for this place, and many people even wanted to cry when they learned that Mao Shengyuan was going to be raided by the government.

Now that the rain has finally passed, Maoshengyuan is actually about to open again, and many former guys and stewards have rushed back after hearing the news.

In the first few months, they were all anxious, hiding in Tibet for fear that the government would arrest them, but when they learned of the sea wolf's victory, the government immediately stopped pursuing them, and after the New Year, they could wander around the streets, even if the officers saw them, they did not dare to arrest them anymore, and even some of the official officers took the initiative to say hello when they saw them to show their goodwill.

During the dissolution of Mao Shengyuan, some of Mao Shengyuan's former men were arrested by the government, suffered a lot in prison, and some even lost their lives, but ten days ago, all over the country quietly released these captured Mao Shengyuan's men out of the cell, and even gave them a few dollars to let them go out to recuperate.

As for those who were disabled, they sent someone to invite Lang Zhong to treat their illnesses and injuries, and gave them a subsidy, and promised that no matter whether they were disabled or not, they would take care of them for the rest of their lives, and absolutely let them live without worry.

As for the individual men who were killed, beaten to death, or tortured to death by the government, the sea wolves also sent people to their homes, gave them a really large amount of bereavement, and agreed to settle their children and relatives to work in Maoshengyuan in the future.

In this way, after the news spread, the guys of Mao Shengyuan were all grateful, and naturally they were even more determined to work with Mao Shengyuan in the future.
