Chapter 1159 1161 [Coming to make trouble]
“War?! Hasn’t Faoshan been quite peaceful these years?”
"Where will there be war? It''s not peaceful in the north, but we''ll be fine in the south."
“Master Ye is so cautious, it’s a bit unfounded. Does it mean that the higher the skill, the less courage you have?”
The Tao that everyone does not understand.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Faoshan did not experience much artillery fire for decades. Therefore, the people did not have a clear understanding of the disaster of war.
?Now that there is no war, Xiang Nan is about to move and run away, so I feel that he is too worried.
Everyone didn’t believe it, and Xiang Nan couldn’t publicize it. If you talk too much, if you add the charge of spreading rumors, disturbing people''s hearts, and being cowardly before fighting, you will be in trouble.
Hence, Xiang Nan didn’t say much and took the people on the road directly.
Start from Fashan and arrive at Macau via Shunde, Zhongshan and Jiangmen.
There are more than 260 miles along the way. If you walk, it will take two days and two nights.
Fortunately, there were still horse-drawn carriages at that time. Zhang Yongcheng and Ye Zhun could ride in the horse-drawn carriages instead of walking, so it was relatively easy.
Other decoration teams and transportation teams mostly have to walk.
Jinshan Xun led his brothers to guard the left and right sides on horseback, and looked out at the front and rear.
They are men from Qilu. Qilu has produced thieves since ancient times, and their equestrian skills are also quite good.
Fortunately, the south is still peaceful at this time. Coupled with Xiang Nan''s huge team, a large team of nearly a hundred people. He also carried a shovel and a hoe, not to mention fully armed, but it was still better than bare hands.
?Hence, many young people were frightened along the way and did not even dare to try to attack them. Watching them walk away.
…
"Jinshan is looking for you, are you okay?" Xiang Nan stuck his head out and asked.
“Don’t worry, Brother Wen, there were a few restless boys who came to test the situation, but I ran them all away.” Jinshan said with a carefree smile.
?Although he is a rough guy with little knowledge, he has been in the world for a long time. He can basically tell which ones are on the road, which ones are digging holes, and which ones are exploring the wind.
??Some small thieves will inevitably become interested in thieves when they see that there are more than a dozen large cars.
But when Jinshan asked the brothers to notice it, they stepped forward and shouted. With their large size and loud voices, they immediately scared those people away.
Therefore, nothing happened the whole way.
"Okay, I''m tired of you." Xiang Nan nodded.
“I haven’t said anything yet, just ask brother, just leave it to me and you can rest assured.” Jin Shan said with a smile.
…
"Awen, you are worrying too much. The world is generally quite peaceful now." Zhou Qingquan smiled and said, "Otherwise, those of us doing business would not dare to go on the road."
Xiang Nan nodded.
The economy in the south has been active in recent years, with constant business travel and prosperity. It is said that bad mountains and rivers breed unruly people, but in wealthy areas, there are much fewer groups of bandits.
Even if there are, local militia groups will be organized immediately to carry out clearing operations. Just like the Guangzhou merchants, they once organized an army with a size of 4,000 people and ten regiments, including guns and cannons. With such strength, any bandit would be scared to flee.
??However, there are fewer robbers and robbers in the world, but there are more bandits, soldiers and militia groups in official circles.
??They set up cards on the road to collect fees, eat and take cards, and extort pedestrians. They are more ruthless than bandits and robbers. Along the way, Xiang Nan spent several hundred just on the road money.
?However, after passing many checkpoints, we finally arrived in Macau, and it was a worthwhile trip.
…
Xiang Nan led his team to his home, and then arranged for people to unload the truck and move all the gold and silver items upstairs.
Then, he asked the decoration team to carry out construction according to his design.
The drawings were designed by Xiang Nan himself to ensure safety and reliability.
At that moment, the decoration team dug open the wooden floor and started digging a big hole in the hall.
“Awen, what’s the purpose of digging up such a nice house?” Zhou Qingquan asked puzzledly.
"I want to dig a storage room here." Xiang Nan explained, "Brother Quan, if you think about it, once the war starts, there will be refugees and starving people everywhere. The price of rice, cloth, meat, vegetables, and oil will all soar. Not to mention drinking tea in the restaurant, it will be good to have a bowl of rice, so I must save more food for emergencies. "
During World War II, Macau was a neutral zone, so a large number of people flocked here to take refuge. However, the Japanese blocked the ports and land, preventing supplies from entering. As a result, Macau fell into a great famine, and tens of thousands of people starved to death.
In this case, it is of course necessary to make preparations in advance. Otherwise, when the time comes, no one will be able to buy a bowl of porridge.
“You are really thoughtful.” Zhou Qingquan smiled and nodded.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan and his family stayed in the inn.
During the day, Xiang Nan came to supervise the work and guide these workers in their work.
?In addition, he also helped Zhou Qingquan with the details of buying a house.
?Zhou Qingquan not only wants to buy a house, he also wants to open a factory in Macau, so he has even more requirements.
While the two of them were busy, something happened.
"Master, please go out and take a look. There is a group of people at the door, clamoring to see you." Uncle Wang hurriedly walked in and said.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the room.
?At the gate, Jinshan Zhaozheng and his brothers were making a noise with a group of people.
“This is our ancestral home, you all, get out of here.”
“Yes, this piece of land was left by our grandfather, you foreigners, get out of here~”
“They took over our house and dug up our treasures. Get out of here and hand over our treasures.”
They shouted loudly.
"Get out of here. If anyone dares to step forward, believe it or not, I will chop you down!"
“If you have the guts, come up and let me see my Fanziquan~”
"Tama, why are you arguing? If you have the guts, just have a fight with me and see if I don''t beat you to pieces."
Jin Shanxian led his brothers to scold them.
…
“What’s going on with Jinshan?” Xiang Nan asked.
“Brother Q, these people insist that this piece of land was left by their grandfather, and that the treasures we dug out of the ground belong to them, and they asked us to return it to them.” Jinshan Xian explained.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
?When these people saw that they hired so many people to dig holes here and transported so much soil every day, they must have thought that they were digging for some kind of treasure, so they came here to look for trouble.
After realizing this, Xiang Nan felt dumbfounded.
"Look for Jinshan and open the door." Xiang Nan said immediately.
Jinshanzhao immediately opened the door.
Xiang Nan stepped out to welcome him, "I asked Ye, which of the villagers is the leader?"
"Me~" A man wearing silk and satin who seemed to have some money came out and said.
"What do you call your Excellency?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"My name is Niu Fenzhi. This land is my family''s land. The treasures in the land should belong to me if they are dug out." Niu Fenzhi said.
"Why? You said it was your family''s land. What evidence do you have? Take out the house deed and the land deed." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and said.
Of course Niu Fenzhi didn’t. “These villagers can all testify to me that this land is inherited from our ancestors.”
“How come it’s in my hands again?” Xiang Nan asked.
"I sold it a few years ago, but I didn''t expect that my great-grandfather hid the treasure underneath." Niu Fenzhi said plausibly, "I sold the land at first, but I didn''t sell my great-grandfather''s treasure, so I have to put it away Give me back what you dug in the ground.”
