    The two county magistrates left the governor's office, stopped sitting in sedan chairs, and walked along Academy Lane to talk.

    "It doesn't matter whether you are a bastard or not. The key is to get cement." Zhang Defu said with a look of urgency: "You are the parent official of Xishan, how can you not think of a way?"

    "You think I didn't think about it?" Yang Chenglin rolled his eyes at him again and said: "Xishan Island and Dongshan Island are like my two balls in Wu County. If one is pinched by someone, will I feel better? I can't even dream about it.  Take it back.¡±

    ¡°Then go for it, if you have a dream, make it come true!¡± Zhang Defu encouraged.

    "Actually, I have sent people to negotiate many times." Yang Chenglin told the truth depressedly: "When I asked when the Kunshan gunman camp would be evacuated, they always said that there are still remnants of bandits in the mountains His grandma is a bear,  There are almost 20,000 people on the island now, so what water bandits can¡¯t be caught?¡±

    "Those are all excuses. They just want to imitate Liu Bei and borrow Jingzhou and refuse to leave." Zhang Defu responded: "You can ask the landlord to appeal. If the prefect doesn't work, go to the governor. If the governor doesn't work, just take control of the capital. If it makes a big fuss, the General Assembly  There will be a solution one day.¡±

    "Liu Zhengqi bought the entire Xishan Island and then transferred it to the Laoshizi Jiangnan Company" Yang Chenglin lamented, rubbed his face and cursed: "Liu Zhengqi, this bastard, eats the inside and outside, sells the land for glory, he can be called a traitor!  "

    This is also an important reason why Liu Yuanwai did not dare to return to Suzhou.  He was afraid that Magistrate Yang and those fellow villagers would be scolded to death.

    "What's so difficult about this? How much money did those people pay per acre when they sold it to Liu Zhengqi?" Zhang Defu said: "One tael or two taels? It's not expensive anyway. Just make the original owners regret it and sue."

    "Who dares?" Yang Chenglin looked helpless, obviously he had used this trick before.

    "Don't forget, the second master of the Xu family is still picking up dung on Xishan Island. Lin Xunjian was also buried in the garbage dump, and he never had the shame to return to Suzhou. After suffering such a big loss, the Xu family did not dare to say anything.  He even sent his grandson as a hostage to sue for peace. You think of those Xishan businessmen, who dares to offend those living bandits?"

    "I'll go, that's right" Zhang Defu felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead and said, "I thought it was easy. Zhao Shouzheng must have a big backer behind him. He is not someone we innocent county magistrates can mess with."  ."

    "There must be some backers. What's even more frightening is that not only do they have people above them, but they also have plenty to eat below. I asked Chen Tongzhi and he said that on the day of the ceremony, more than 200 squires from Suzhou, Nanjing, Taicang, Zhenjiang, Wuxi and other places came to support him.  Even Taishi Hua, who has not shown up for these years, was present."

    After a pause, he said depressedly: "By the way, the person in charge of Xishan now is Hua Boxhen, the eldest son of Hua Taishi. Do you think those landlords dare to stir up trouble? Don't the Hua family bury them in Taihu Lake?"  "

    "Didn't he just come to Kunshan less than two months ago?" Zhang Defu was dumbfounded. He thought he had seen the father and son clearly, but he didn't expect that he was just the tip of the iceberg.  "What kind of magical figure is this?"

    "Do you understand now?" Yang Chenglin patted Zhang Defu on the shoulder and said, "Stop thinking wrongly, otherwise you won't be able to escape the fate of picking shit."

    "Uh" Zhang Defu was speechless.  Do we have to give up like this?

    After a long silence, he suddenly said: "No, there is another way!"

    "What can we do?" Yang Chenglin asked hurriedly.

    "Hug! Big! Legs!" I heard Zhang Defu say the most cowardly words in the most awesome tone: "Since we can't beat him, let's join him!"

    "Uh" Yang Chenglin was stunned for a long time, then nodded resignedly and sighed: "I can have this."

    ??~~

    Taicang Prefecture.

    Wang Mengxiang has been paying attention to the flood situation in Kunshan.

    When he learned that the newly built embankment withstood the first storm of the year, he immediately rushed to Yanshan Garden in the rain and told Wang Shimao the good news!

    When Wang Shimao heard this, he danced with joy. He pulled Wang Mengxiang and laughed heartily: "Uncle, you are so accurate in judging people. We have made a lot of money from this investment!"

    "Hahaha, of course." Wang Mengxiang's beard stood proudly.  "I look at people, when have I missed them?"

    He originally thought that his most successful work in his life was giving birth to a pair of second-place sons.  The proudest investment was the success of bargain hunting when the Wang brothers were at a low point.

    But now it seems that the most satisfying investment has become the one invested in Zhao Hao!

    In fact, he realized this after going to Kunshan to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

    But he didn¡¯t dare to be too happy before seeing the actual results.

    Until today, after learning that the concrete embankment has withstood the test, Wang Mengxiang finally dared to declare boldly that Niu Boyi of Cement, Niu Boyi of Jiangnan Company, and even more Niu Boyi of Mr. Zhao??!

    Of course, my vision is really amazing.

    The two of them immediately asked someone to fry some side dishes and started drinking happily.

    Wang Shimao filled a glass of wine for Wang Mengxiang and said sincerely: "I can't accept it. My vision is far worse than that of my uncle."

    "What?" Wang Mengxiang picked up a pair of chopsticks and chewed the honey juice recipe happily: "What else are you worried about?"

    "Anyway, there are no outsiders, so I'm not afraid that Young Master Zhao will listen to what I have said." Wang Shimao smiled ashamedly: "Actually, I have been murmuring in my heart after seeing what Young Master Zhao did before."

    "What are you muttering about?"

    "I thought to myself, he didn't take our money to support his father, right?" Wang Shimao smiled bitterly: "Seeing him use our food to feed the people of Kunshan, I really feel sorry for him. He also suffered a lot of grudges.  .¡±

    "Hey, I've been scolded a lot. People say I'm stupid. I've left the elders in Taicang to give alms to the beggars in Kunshan." Wang Mengxiang clinked a glass with Wang Shimao, drank it down and said, "They know something.  Shit! Do you understand now?"

    "I understand. I understood it as soon as the cement came out." Wang Shimao nodded and poured wine for him: "Master Zhao, that's a far-sighted plan. This cement is so useful that it can be repaired.  For cities and palaces, as well as embankments and seawalls, bridges and roads, and as small as building yards and houses all those wood, bricks, soil, glutinous rice, and mortar have been destroyed!"

    "Yes, how big a fucking market is this? How much money can you make?!" Wang Mengxiang raised his wine cup towards the west and laughed loudly: "Here's to Mr. Zhao!"

    "To Mr. Zhao!" Wang Shimao also raised his wine cup and toasted Zhao Hao from afar.

    Fortunately, both of them hoped that Zhao Hao would live a long life, so they didn't pour the wine on the ground, but drank it themselves.

    ??~~

    "Uncle, why do you think Mr. Zhao is so powerful?" After three glasses of wine, Wang Shimao's face turned red.  Usually his drinking capacity is not so light, maybe he is in high spirits during happy events.

    "In Beijing, you can make a lot of money by digging coal out of the ground and mixing it with mud to make coal lotus root. Buy a disused coal kiln that has been abandoned for many years, build a 'drainage king', and immediately turn waste into treasure!"

    He drinks too much and talks a lot.  "He came to our Suzhou, bought the abandoned Xishan Island, dug out the soil from the ground, burned it, turned it into cement, and made a lot of money! You don't think he is the reincarnation of the land father-in-law, right?"

    "Hahaha." Wang Mengxiang laughed so hard that he wiped his tears and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The sage said, 'What is born is nurtured by the earth.' Of course, good things come out of the earth."

    "As he spoke, he guessed: "Maybe this is the power of science, otherwise my Dingjue would not be in his thirties and worship Mr. Zhao as his teacher."

    "Science is such a good thing." Wang Shimao sighed with deep approval, and then asked: "Uncle, tell me, are the stocks of our Jiangnan Company more valuable than those of Xishan Company?"

    "It's much more valuable!" Wang Mengxiang said without hesitation: "Coal, although we don't have it in the south of the Yangtze River. But it is everywhere in the north, and Xishan Company can only eat in Beizhili."

    "But cement is the only one in the world! Just for this reason, if you trade Xishan Company's stocks with me for one for two, I won't agree!" Wang Mengxiang said in a low voice:

    "Besides, besides making some money, what value does the coal business have? The beauty of the cement business is that it's even greater. Even if it doesn't make money, our company is much more valuable than Xishan Company!"

    "Why?" Wang Shimao asked, dumbfounded.

    "Because its value to businessmen is secondary, but its value to officials is as high as the sky!" Wang Mengxiang said with uncontrollable excitement:

    "What kind of cement is this? This is a panacea for officials to get promoted and make a fortune and leave a name in history!"
