Dongting Mountain is located in the southeast of Taihu Lake, where the so-called "Dongting Merchant Gang" got its name.
It is not a mountain, but the collective name of East Dongting Mountain and West Dongting Mountain.
??And West Dongting Mountain is not a mountain, in this era it is a collective name for three mountains. It would not be until three hundred years later that the sedimentary sediment would connect them together, and then the lake would be surrounded by fields to create what it would look like in later generations.
Dongting Mountain is not a mountain, but a large island five miles away from the land. It will have to wait until three hundred years before it will be directly connected to the mainland and become a peninsula.
Compared to the West Dongting Mountain, which is completely mountainous and not even an inch of flat, the conditions of the East Dongting Mountain are much superior.
There are large areas of flat land on the southwest and northeast foothills of Dongshan, and manors have been built one after another.
Most of them are members of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce.
The retirement garden of the highly respected President Weng Lao was built in the Yuhua Scenic Area with the best scenery in Dongshan.
The ancient trees in Shanwu are lush, the winding corridors follow the waves, the stone pillars and eaves are erect, and it is elegant and natural. Standing on the pavilion halfway up the mountain, you can overlook the fields and villages below the mountain, and listen to the fishermen singing late at night, which is refreshing.
It¡¯s like a fairyland on earth.
However, Hua Bozhen had no intention of appreciating the scenery of lakes and mountains. He had been waiting for two days at Yuhua Scenic Spot and had yet to get an accurate response.
The gray-haired old man playing chess with him in the pavilion was none other than Weng Jianweng Wanwan, the old president of the Suzhou Dongting Chamber of Commerce.
President Weng has fair hair and a well-maintained face. He looks much younger than Taishi Hua of the same age.
Weng Jian dropped a piece on the chessboard, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "My nephew is feeling restless. This game is going to be lost again."
"Guild President Weng made a superior move, there is nothing we can do about it." Hua Bozhen calmed down and took a look at the situation, but no, it was a foregone conclusion that the dragon would be slaughtered. He simply surrendered and said:
"Today is the day when the water bandits demand ransom. Hasn't the president heard the news yet?"
President Weng glanced at his son Weng Fan, who was standing beside him.
Weng Fan then replied softly: "Everyone down below has responded, and no one is related to this matter."
"What about the grain ban in Kunshan?" Weng Jin frowned and asked, "It's getting more and more outrageous. The Chamber of Commerce is here to bail out everyone, and it acts so arrogantly. I think it's not far from being doomed!"
"It's also a misunderstanding." Weng Fan hurriedly explained: "Because of the shortage of food supplies and the shortage of food supplies, Wu County in Changzhou asked the food dealers in Suzhou City to give priority to the supply to Fucheng. Therefore, not only Kunshan, but also other counties are temporarily unable to supply the goods. Buy food in Suzhou."
"Huh, excuse." Weng Jian snorted, used both hands to hold the crutch and said:
"Ignore this for now. Hurry and let them find a way to help rescue the people! If Miss Wu Ji makes any mistake, the Dongting Chamber of Commerce will be embarrassed!"
"Yes, father." Weng Fan nodded, smiled dryly at Hua Bozhen and said, "Brother, let me play chess with my father first, and I will think of a solution later."
"Okay, thank you for your work" Hua Bozhen bowed and expressed his gratitude.
When Weng Fan went down, Weng Ji shook his head slightly and sighed softly:
"My dear nephew, our family does not speak the same language. I have long ignored the affairs of the association these years. Now it is just in name. Now the two vice-presidents have the final say internally and externally."
"The president is serious. I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Dongting Chamber of Commerce."
Hua Boxhen actually saw that Weng Fan already knew the inside story, but the girl's reputation was important, so she could only pretend to be confused first and rescue the person first.
"Actually, the Han family has little contact with Wu Ji. It's just that the orphans and widowers are pitiful. We can't just let people kill them all. That would be too unscrupulous."
"Yes, yes." Weng Fan nodded and said, "I also had some friendship with Miss Jiang's grandfather back then, and I will never let this happen again."
"With the president's words, I feel relieved." Hua Boxhen nodded.
??~~
When Weng Fan came down from the Banshan Pavilion, he saw Liu Zhengqi, the vice president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, waiting anxiously in the corridor.
"Brother Ledao, what did the president say?" Liu Zhengqi stepped forward and asked Xiaoyi.
Weng Fan glanced at him and thought to himself, now I think of my dad, what have you been doing?
"What else can I say? I can't sell you, Vice President Liu, right?"
"You didn't explain to the president? I just wanted to teach Wu a lesson, and I didn't say I wanted to arrest their eldest lady."
Liu Yuanwai had a grimace on his face, feeling that he hadn't finished memorizing the words yet.
Who would have thought that just two of Wu Ji¡¯s boats would be impounded, and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family would be arrested as well?
Who is Miss Jiang? What kind of food can she take if she has nothing to do?Boat?
The Nine Families and even the Dongting Chamber of Commerce are all taking advantage of her grandfather's success.
It has just been three days, and people from the Wang family in Taicang, the Hua family in Wuxi, the Gu family in Changzhou, and the Lu family in Wuxian County have written letters expressing concern.
Hua Boxhen, the eldest son of the Hua family, even personally went to Yuhua Scenic Area to find President Weng to ask for someone!
??This is really a casual grab, and it has stirred up a hornet's nest.
¡°It would be easier if he alone had the final say in the Dongting Chamber of Commerce. What¡¯s terrible is that there is another vice president, Xu Zhixiang.
One of the two came from the West Dongting Mountain, and the other came from the East Dongting Mountain. They were originally from their own factions, and they were different from each other.
In the past two years, the position of the next president has been fiercely fought.
Last year, the reason why Liu Yuanwai was in such a mess had a lot to do with Vice President Xu and his group's secret attempts to trip him up.
Seeing that he made another stupid move, Vice President Xu had no reason not to stir up trouble.
Xu Zhixiang united a group of Dongshan fellows to question him if he had really colluded with the water bandits.
It¡¯s as if they weren¡¯t colluding.
???????????? He also revealed the matter of the embargo on grain, and crusaded against him for using the name of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce to avenge his personal revenge, so that the Chamber of Commerce would offend the government in vain.
It was as if Xu Zhixiang didn't know anything about it.
Liu Yuanwai originally wanted to contact the fellow villagers from Xishan and Dongshan Lang Hard Steel, but Hua Bozhen found the old president again.
Although the old president has been doing nothing for many years, he is highly respected among Dongting businessmen. A word can make Liu Yuanwai the bastard flip the lid.
Liu Yuanwai got the news and rushed from Suzhou City to Yuhua Scenic Area to put out the fire.
??~~
"Of course I have said all the good things, otherwise the old man can help you cover it up?" Weng Fan said with a faint smile: "As long as the old man nods and says that this matter has something to do with you, you will stop being the vice president."
"Yes, yes, thank you Brother Ledao for your advice." Liu Yuanwai hurriedly thanked him. Although he knew that it would be impossible for President Weng to admit it, otherwise the reputation of the entire Dongting Chamber of Commerce would be greatly affected. "You will be grateful when you look back."
"We'll talk about those things later." Weng Fan said solemnly: "The most important thing is to let the person go first. Those water bandits can do anything. Don't waste your vote after three days."
¡®That¡¯s not possible, I find this person very reliable. ¡¯ Liu Yuanwai was not worried, but he couldn¡¯t say this clearly. On the contrary, you have to follow the other party¡¯s wishes and say solemnly:
"I asked my son to negotiate in person and rescue Miss Jiang no matter what!"
"Well, hurry up and go." Weng Fan nodded, pointed to the mid-mountain pavilion with his chin and said, "There are still people waiting for news there."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Liu Yuanwai turned around and ran away.
Looking at his back, Weng Fan shook his head and thought to himself that this is a bad god
In the future, it is better to stay away from him to avoid being infected with bad luck.
