Chen Zikun's words were very tough, but he didn't want to continue to be entangled.
As the saying goes, multiple friends lead to multiple paths, and multiple enemies lead to multiple walls.
Zhang Xiaolin was offended if he offended him, but there was no need to offend Cheng Ziqing.
Anyway, he had already been alerted and killed.
If it doesn't work out, why not give Cheng Ziqing some face?
Ever since, a crisis has been resolved.
Cheng Ziqing has accomplished what Du Yuesheng couldn't do.
He feels very good about himself.
Chen Zikun has defeated Zhang Xiaolin's prestige in one fell swoop.
He is also in the limelight.
Everyone in Shanghai knows that there is a Tongzi.
The deeds of General Chen, a senior general, shot Boss Zhang with a machine gun on Xiafei Road.
Li Yaoting's reputation also rose with the tide.
On the eve of leaving Shanghai, Chen Zikun went to Li Mansion again.
Li Yaoting mysteriously took him to the warehouse, pointed to a pile of sacks and said, "I bought these things for ten large yellow croakers.
You can take them back."
Bar."
Chen Zikun nodded: "I can plant it when I get back, but I still need guidance from a knowledgeable master."
Li Yaoting said, "I've already helped you find someone."
He slapped his hands, and a skinny old man came out from the corner.
He had a bald forehead and a thin yellow braid hanging from the back of his head.
He was dressed in coarse clothes and had a Tobacco Pouch looks like an ordinary old country farmer.
"This is Long Wu, Master Long, invited from Yunnan," Li Yaoting introduced.
Chen Zikun did not look down upon the other party because of his unattractive appearance, but politely said, "Master Long, thank you for your hard work."
The little old man smiled, showing his burnt yellow teeth, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "You're welcome."
Everything was ready, Chen Zikun set out on his way home, but Jian Bing stayed in Shanghai, temporarily living in Li Yaoting's mansion, going out early in the morning and coming back late every day to do some things, doing things in a secretive way, even Yao Yilei didn't know what she was doing.
Before leaving, Li Yaoting called dozens of coolies from the Shiliupu Pier to take out the firearms and bullets from the warehouse of Lihe Yang Company, load them on cargo ships and take the waterway back to Nantai, while Chen Zikun and his entourage took the train first.
Arrive at the provincial capital of Jiangdong and then return via the Huaijiang Waterway.
It was a smooth journey.
After returning to Nantai, Chen Zikun immediately sent a team to accompany Master Long Wu around the county for three full days.
Long Wu didn't say a word until the morning of the fourth day when he said: " The land in your county is suitable for growing tobacco.”
Chen Zikun was overjoyed when he heard this, but this matter could not be done in the name of the Protector's Office, so he had to borrow the name of the county government and ask County Chief Liu to issue an official document to recruit farmers to plant "medicinal materials".
Liu Youjin was preoccupied with the treasures buried in the county government house, and had no energy to deal with political affairs.
He continued to make random arrangements.
The land security guard and the village chief were banging broken gongs on the streets and at the entrance of the village and shouting casually.
The squires did not cooperate, and the farmers even more It's not something to take seriously.
Chen Zikun was very angry, but this matter could not be solved with a gun.
Growing opium was a delicate matter.
If the farmers were half-hearted and careless, the losses would be great.
They had to find a way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the farmers.
When he was feeling worried, Li Juren came to visit.
After his daughter-in-law Cuicui died, the Li family held a grand funeral and spent a lot of money.
The coffin that was originally placed at the top of the city to express his will to die was finally collected.
Cuicui, the coffin alone cost three thousand oceans, not counting the monks and Taoists as the dojo. , money to buy white linen to build the cemetery.
In short, Li Juren spent all his family property for Cuicui.

Rumors spread in the city.
Some people who had read the book even quoted passages from the Book of Stones, but Li Juren didn't care.
This funeral once again established his status as the chief squire of the county.
After the funeral, Li Juren married a new concubine.
It is said that the girl was only eighteen years old.
A pear tree bloomed under the begonia tree.
Li Juren was radiant with a second spring.
He was in high spirits and was quite concerned about the political affairs of the county.
Since then, Then he came to help Chen Zikun solve his problems.
After some polite remarks, Li Juren asked: "I wonder what medicinal materials the county government wants to grow?"
Chen Zikun said: "It is said to be a magical medicine that calms the nerves and relieves pain.
It sells very well.
County Magistrate Liu came up with this method because of the suffering of the people."
Li Juren twirled his goatee and said, "I really admire County Magistrate Liu for caring about the country and the people.
But the villagers are ignorant.
They only know how to grow corn, sorghum and wheat, and don't know how to get rich by growing medicinal herbs.
It's a pity, a pity."
Chen Zikun said: "I don't know what good advice the master has for people."
Li Juren smiled slyly and said, "There is a way.
I just want to know what kind of medicinal material this is."
Chen Zikun looked directly into Li Juren's eyes, his eyes were so sharp that they could kill.
Li Juren was uneasy, but he still faced it calmly.
Finally, Chen Zikun said one word at a time: "It's opium."
Li Juren's face was solemn, he clasped his fists and said: "I admire the magnanimity of the guard army.
I still have 100 acres of irrigated land and 300 acres of dry land at home, all of which are dedicated to the county government to grow tobacco."
Chen Zikun was very suspicious as to why Li Juren was so open-minded and generous, but he was relieved when he thought that the Li Mansion had been spending a lot of money recently and was sitting on nothing.
Li Juren said again: "Old man's acres of land are just a drop in the bucket, and all he has done is to attract good ideas.
The villagers are ignorant, and education is useless.
Only if they see someone making a fortune growing medicinal materials, will they rush to plant it
.
"
Chen Zikun thought, isn't this just a demonstration field?
He smiled and said, "Li Juren has set an example for the people of the county.
It is really rare.
I will inform the county government to commend you."
Li Juren said plausibly: "As a country squire, it is our duty to lead by example and benefit the people of this county."
Chen Zikun clasped his fists and said, "Then it's up to Li Juren to help."
Coming out of the Protector's Office, Li Juren let out a long breath.
When Chen Zikun stared at him just now, his whole back was soaked.
He was afraid that this murderous demon king would be unhappy and take out a gun to kill him.
Lucky What's more, I finally made the right bet.
Li Juren was quite complacent.
A funeral and a wedding had actually emptied the Li Mansion long ago.
Now there is only an empty frame left.
How many people in the county are staring at their one hundred acres of irrigated land, if not for it.

He made a prompt decision and relied on the Lord Protector to help him grow opium.
The industry left by his ancestors was lost in his hands.
After this crop of sorghum was harvested, "medicinal materials" were planted on Li Ju's family's 100 acres of irrigated land and 300 acres of dry land.
Master Long personally guided the farmers to plow the land again and plowed the land deeply, taking the trouble to do so.
They crushed up all the dirt and garbage, wishing they could go over it with turnips.
The farmers who were used to doing rough work couldn't bear this, and they all said they couldn't do it.
Li Juren was a scholar and had many ways to deal with tenants.
After consulting Chen Zikun, he adopted a method: those who are willing to grow sorghum can grow sorghum, and those who are willing to grow wheat can grow wheat.
The rent is still the same as in previous years, but medicinal materials are grown.
The rent for the coming year will be waived.
Not only will the rent be waived, but the money from selling the medicinal materials will also be given to the tenants.
This move was indeed vicious.
After careful consideration, the tenants of the Li family decided to grow medicinal materials.
Of course, there were some stubborn ones who still chose to grow sorghum, and those who came to see the medicinal materials every now and then were as busy as dead dogs in the fields, watching.
And laughed at them.
The other rich men in the county were also waiting to see Li Juren's joke.
He could grow medicinal materials worth three cents but not two cents on the good water-irrigated land.
Wasn't this because his brain was kicked by a donkey?
Li Juren was calm and calm, sitting firmly in the military tent.
He had read the books of sages and sages, so he was naturally different from those wealthy locals.
He secretly thought that when the fireworks bloom next year and the money is sold, he will not give you your money.
My intestines are regretful and I don’t even have the surname Li.
When the county town was busy growing opium, the Huaijiang River was not calm.
A cargo ship from Shanghai was sailing upstream, loaded with crates printed in German.
Suddenly gunfire broke out, and several sampans were killed in the reed swamp.
When they got out, the boat owner knew that he had encountered water bandits, so he quickly stopped the boat to say hello.
The ship owner is not worried, as thieves are also smart.
Water bandits only kill people and steal goods when they encounter people who dare to resist.
Ordinary cargo ships and passenger ships only need to pay the money to buy the goods, and will not rob goods or harm passengers.
The water bandits all had their faces covered, armed with knives and guns, and showed murderous intent.
They jumped over to help them.
Without saying a word, they raised their guns and started shooting.
There was a burst of gunfire.
The boss of the ship and the sailors fell into a pool of blood.
Only one of them was cooking in the back cabin. sailors jumped ship to escape.
The cargo ship was driven to a small dock on the riverside.
Adjutant Xia Jingqi from the Governor's Office came to receive it with a team of men.
The water bandits changed into military uniforms.
It turned out that they were Adjutant Xia's subordinates and had received secret orders to rob on the river.
Adjutant Xia got into the cargo hold and saw the mountains of crates.
He immediately smiled.
He took a crowbar and pried open the first crate, only to find that there was only a pile of stones inside.
"What's going on?"
Adjutant Xia was a little flustered.
He quickly opened another box and found that it was still filled with stones.

Now he understood that the information he got from Zhang Xiaolin was inaccurate.
Chen Zikun, a cunning guy, tricked Mingxiu Plank Road.
The plot of secretly crossing Chencang used other methods to transport the purchased arms back to Nantai.
At the dock of Nantai County, three cargo ships with small yellow flags were moored quietly.
The coolies stepped on the long springboard to the ship and carried down bags of Siamese rice.
After carrying the rice, the bottom of the cabin was exposed A batch of munitions double-tied with oilcloth and straw.
These are box cannons, Spanish Xingpao, Bergman portable machine guns and a large number of bullets that Chen Zikun purchased in Shanghai.
The coolies rested for a while, and then shouted the slogan again to carry the arms.
Just as they were sweating profusely, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and a awning boat came from the downstream, leaning tightly on the trestle, and then in the cabin A woman wearing an aqua cheongsam emerged, looked up at the rain and fog in the sky, held up a small and exquisite paper umbrella, and dragged the leather suitcase to the springboard with her other hand.
The slits of the woman's cheongsam were very high, and a gust of wind blew by, revealing her snow-white thighs.
The coolies all stopped and looked at her blankly.
The woman noticed these burning eyes, and instead of being shy, she shook her waist.
The amplitude is larger.
The coolies were all drooling and staring intently.
Behind the aqua cheongsam, another pink cheongsam emerged.
This one's skin was fairer, the slit was higher, and the swing of the waist was more exaggerated.
Then there was another bright yellow cheongsam, and a lake blue cheongsam.
There are thirteen cheongsam women in total
