Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shachuan Gang Sihai Hall.

    Hearing Guo Qilin¡¯s question to Mrs. Shen, Elder Niu quickly handed over the land deed in his hand.

    Chen Huaixiu flipped through a few pages, put the land deed gently on the table, and asked Guo Qilin: "I find these place names very strange. Are they all east of Huangpu?"

    "Ah, it seems soso what?" Guo Qilin's pupils shrank, obviously the question was on point.

    "As far as I know, the east side of Pudong is saline-alkali land and the west side is muddy ponds. There is less than one tenth of the land that can be cultivated."

    Chen Huaixiu speaks Chongming dialect, which is slightly harder than Wu dialect. His voice is not loud but firm.

    "I wonder what is going on with the 100,000 acres of land given by the Xu family? How much of it can be cultivated?"

    As soon as these words came out, there was another buzz in the hall.

    The county seat of Shanghai is in Puxi, and 99% of the people also live in Puxi.  Therefore, when people mention Shanghai, they habitually think of it as the boundary of Puxi and never think of Pudong.

    When Chen Huaixiu reminded them, the elders and hall masters suddenly realized that there was still a big pit waiting for everyone here.

    Immediately, many people became unwilling and stood up and shouted: "Guo Qilin, you colluded with the Xu family to trick us, right?!"

    ¡°It¡¯s just that there are no personal cigarettes in Pudong, so what¡¯s the difference from us?¡±

    "We, the Shachuan Gang, have 500 boats and more than 3,000 brothers, but they were sold at such a bad price, and you have the nerve to come back and claim credit!"

    "I disagree!"

    "I disagree!"

    A group of senior executives of the Shachuan Gang were overjoyed, but at this time they were extremely embarrassed.

    Guo Qilin tried his best to defend himself, but his voice could not be heard above the loud voices of this group of boat racers.

    There was a loud bang, and the senior officials looked around and saw that it was the gang leader who had dropped the tea cup.

    Immediately the whole hall was silent.

    The disciples of the execution hall who were waiting outside the door rushed to the door after hearing the sound, waiting for the gang leader's order to take the person.

    The leader of the Shachuan Gang has great power and can even bypass the government and use lynching to execute gang members who violate gang rules.

    Although these gang leaders don¡¯t take Guo Donglin seriously behind their backs, no one dares to stand up to him in person, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespecting the gang leader!

    Guo Donglin waved his hand and asked the people outside to step back.  Then he stood up with a dark face, glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and scolded:

    "Are you fooled by the sea breeze? Where are we going? It's Jiangnan, which was cultivated five hundred years ago!"

    "You don't want to go too far, and you don't want to be separated. Apart from Pudong, where can the Xu family find 100,000 acres of uncultivated land to accommodate our family of 40,000 to 50,000 people?!"

    After a while, they went down with guns and sticks, and these guys suddenly lost their arrogance.

    After calming down the gangsters, Guo Donglin walked up to Chen Huaixiu, put on a smile and said:

    "Brother and sister, I am from Shanghai County. I should know more about the situation in Pudong than you, right?"

    "That's natural." Chen Huaixiu turned away slightly.

    "Okay. My brother tells you that Pudong is not as evil as rumored. There are several towns with tens of thousands of households." After a pause, Guo Donglin said again:

    "It is true that the conditions there are not as good as Puxi, but the land can be planted and people can live in it. It is in the south of the Yangtze River. How can there be a perfect place waiting for us? As long as everyone works together, I believe it will not take long before everything will be fine.  .¡±

    "Besides, do we still have to choose? Dongsha collapsed, Yao Liusha collapsed, how long can our Sansha survive? No one can say for sure." He sighed and said with a look of compassion:

    "From a personal perspective, of course I don't want to believe that this land where the Shachuan Gang has lived for generations will one day disappear. But I am the leader of a gang and I cannot be emotional. I must protect the gang's 3,000 children and 40,000 family members.  Prepare for a rainy day."

    "Do you know what it means to prepare for a rainy day?" Guo Qilin took advantage of the crowd and yelled from the side: "I think few of you know. If you don't understand anything, you just want to make noises. Just listen to my big brother."

    The gang members were speechless and completely lost their arrogance.

    And the gang leader is right.  The Tianci Salt Farm and the county seat all sank to the bottom of the water, and the Chongming Guards also retreated to the land. Although Sansha was fine at the moment, any normal person would worry about whether the same fate would befall them.

    I don¡¯t know since when, rumors spread that the entire Chongming would be abandoned by the imperial court, which intensified the Shachuan Gang¡¯s worries about survival.

    Gang Leader Guo shouted away Guo Qilin, and said to everyone with serious words:

    "Whether or when the three sands of sand will collapse is not something we can decide. But we can decide to act immediately."Get up, stop waiting, and find a new home for everyone, a new home where you no longer need to be afraid, where you no longer need to be alone on the sea, and where the people of Jiangnan will no longer regard you as aliens!"

    "Yes, it is not perfect, and it may not meet our expectations. But with the hard work and wisdom of us Sansha people, we can definitely make it change a little every year, and a big change every three years. Before long, it will become a human being  The enviable land of plenty."

    "I believe that ten or twenty years from now, all of us will be proud of today's decision. Fifty-one hundred years from now, our descendants will be grateful for our wise decision!"

    Gang Leader Guo¡¯s reading was not in vain. The same content came out of his mouth more convincingly than Guo Qilin.  Everyone was a little touched when they heard this, and couldn't help but nod their heads, thinking of their wonderful new home.

    Seeing that the gang members were basically convinced, Gang Leader Guo breathed a sigh of relief.  Turning his eyes to Mrs. Shen, as long as the woman nodded, it would be done.

    "Brothers and sisters, does what my brother said make sense?"

    Mrs. Shen nodded.

    His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he asked in a cold voice:

    ¡°I¡¯ve finished my words, who is in favor and who is against?!¡±

    "This" All the senior officials looked at each other. They thought they were just discussing today, but they didn't expect to express their opinions on the spot.

    "With a population of 40,000 to 50,000 people in Sansha, it's not just a matter of moving. If you settle things as soon as possible, you'll have more time to prepare." Gang leader Guo said without a doubt:

    "This matter will be settled today! Let me ask again, who is in favor and who is against?!"

    "Who is in favor and who is against?!" Guo Qilin shouted in a pretentious manner.

    Everyone then looked at Chen Huaixiu. She was the person in charge of the Shen family. Only if she did not object could everyone dare to express their stance.

    Chen Huaixiu frowned slightly, as if it was difficult to make up her mind, but when things got to this point, she couldn't help but hesitate.

    "I do still have one thing that I don't understand, please help me clear it up."

    "But it doesn't matter." Guo Qilin nodded and said: "If my brothers and sisters understand anything, please ask them together. Brother, I guarantee your satisfaction."

    "I've never quite understood why the Xu family values ??us so much." Chen Huaixiu said quietly:

    "If you just want us to run the shipping business for him, you just need to hire us. Why don't you have to let us move to live with them? Isn't this too kind?"

    "Madam, what you said makes sense." Elder Ma twisted his beard and nodded: "The Xu family is not a charity organization. It is really strange to give 100,000 acres of land to take us in."

    "Well, that makes sense." Elder Niu also agreed.

    Gang leader Guo secretly gritted his teeth in hatred. Of course he knew what the Xu family was doing.  But how can you say it?
