The fifteenth day of April in the third year of Taisho.

The Yamen of the state capital of Syria.

Several leaders of Emei are having a meeting.

Jingxuan said, "The market transactions have basically recovered in the past half month. Everyone can buy needles, threads and brains now. There are not many peddlers who carry their burdens to the countryside. It is said that the villages and towns below will pick up vegetables for sale every few days. , has not appeared recently..."

Ji Xiaofu remained silent.Nod to continue.

Jingzhao said, "Basically there are no incidents of robbery and riots in the city. I have heard from the police over the years that those ruffians who often make troubles have been caught in prison. Ordinary people say yes, but there are several A wealthy businessman and landlord, he seems to have packed up his things and ran away overnight, saying that he was visiting relatives... I heard that some went to Chengdu, some went to Chongqing, and some seemed to go all the way to Dadu... "

Ji Xiaofu lowered her head and wrote something on the paper, her brows were furrowed, her lips were pursed, and she gestured to continue.

It was the first time for Bei Jinyi to speak on such an occasion.After Ji Xiaofu sent Jing Miao out, she brought up Bei Jinyi, who was in charge of recruiting part of the recruits.

Bei Jinyi spoke with a trembling voice: "Our third large-scale recruitment is expected to recruit 200 people. After three days of publicity, we have recruited 47 people. Many people are unwilling to send their family members out..."

Ji Xiaofu thought for a while, a bit like asking a question, and a bit like talking to herself: "Why?"

Bei Jinyi raised her head, her eyes were blank.

Jingxuan at the side knew that Ji Xiaofu expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of the work.Then he gently reminded: "There are rumors in the city that we, Emei, are planning to rebel. Others probably have some concerns..."

Ji Xiaofu shook her head: "We were originally rebels! Years of bad harvests, everyone can't survive, so why worry!" The more she spoke, the louder her voice became.

There was no one in the house to answer the phone.

Jingxuan thought: Isn't this a very normal thing?Normally, when the imperial court changes emperors and reigns, everyone will have to adapt to it for a few years, or maybe they can get used to it... Now they are raising the flag to rebel!Good people, who doesn't care about the reputation of this bandit!This is being a bandit for generations!They are not from our martial arts... Junior Sister Ji is a little anxious.In fact, take your time, doesn't it make it!

Ji Xiaofu thought: The work is too inadequate.I originally planned to be slow, but if I can't even recruit soldiers... that thing, shouldn't I try it?

Pandora's box!

give it a try?

Or give up?

Ji Xiaofu clenched her fist slowly, and then slowly let go.

If so, three.

Outside, there was a sudden rush of footsteps!

Wei Changqing led Cao San, the small leader of the local chamber of commerce, to rush in from outside.Wei Changqing only called out "Senior Sister Ji", and then Cao San, with a flushed face, shouted anxiously:

"Ji Nuxia, help!"

…………

Cao San is the leader of the Xuzhou City Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the number one figure in the entire Xuzhou City.

However, according to the habits at this time, it is one thing to earn money as a businessman. If you don’t buy a few pieces of land, you will feel uneasy in your heart.

Cao San’s family originally belonged to Majiaqiao under Xuzhou, but later he came to Cao San. Since he was a child, he liked to resell three melons and two dates among the villages. When he grew up, he simply exchanged his capital and ran out to do business. .

Cao San's business is booming, and he has made money in the past few years, and he used it to go back to his hometown to buy land.It turned out that Ma Rencai, a big landlord in his village, thought this was a challenge to his authority.He picked his nose and eyes at the Cao family.

Ma Rencai was not just a well-known landlord in Majiaqiao.The name is resounding throughout the entire Syrian state capital!Just one example will suffice.In such an era when everyone was precarious, and 200% to [-]% of the people ate their last meal without a second meal, there were more than [-] pigs raised by the Ma family!

Although Cao San is not bad, he is still far behind the horse landlord.So generally, whatever conflicts arise, they shrink back.But his family belongs to Majiaqiao, and the native of this town has lived here since the time of his ancestors, and there is no reason to move!So this friction still comes several times from time to time.Anyway, the horse landlord was only active in the village, and Cao San spent most of his time in the state capital, employing only two tenant farmers to live there to take care of the fields.

This day is also suitable for the accident.The tenant farmers of Cao San’s family weeded in the dark, and when counting the ridges of the field, they were confused, so they didn’t know how to go to the horse landlord’s field to pull up the weeds.

At most, this matter is working for Ma Jiabai.Unexpectedly, Ma Rencai, who was out wandering around that day, saw him and immediately cursed at him, saying that the money tree pointed out by Marshal Zhao, the God of Wealth, had grown in his field, which was a guarantee for the Ma family to make money!Now he is pulled out by the Cao family. This is preparing to be at odds with my Ma family!

There were hundreds of young and strong farm laborers under the landlord of the Ma family, and each of them carried a stick and came towards the Cao family with a murderous look.Cao San happened to be in the village that day, so he was so frightened that he crawled out of the dog hole and ran away.Running and counting along the way, I am afraid that there is no one in the entire Xuzhou city who is willing to offend the landlord Ma and come to this muddy water, but the new "state capital" Queen Emei, who may not be able to understand the situation, can be coaxed... just All the way to the state capital.

Cao San cried with snot and tears.Half gesture and half truth.Businessmen's money doesn't just fall from the sky.The Cao family's land is considered to be over, and the Xuzhou government may not be able to stay in the future... How can this not be sad.

…………

Everyone in Emei was looking at Ji Xiaofu.

Ji Xiaofu seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhao Lingzhu was the youngest, couldn't help it now, slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable! Isn't this Ma Rencai blackmailed! Is there any law!"

Cao San nodded repeatedly with a bitter face: "Nvxia Zhao, Ma Rencaisu usually says: 'I am Wang Fa', and has always been very domineering..."

Jingxuan stopped Zhao Lingzhu, and first asked Cao San: "Have you ever had such a thing before, how did you solve it later?"

Cao San shuddered Lingling: "...in the past, no one competed with the Ma family for land..." He burst into tears with a "wow": "I am really obsessed with ghosts, and I also don't want to part with the ancestral grave at home. I never thought about changing the village, I heard that Ma Rencai had more than 50 lives in his hands..."

Ji Xiaofu raised her head suddenly: "More than 50 lives? What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Cao Sandao: "I also heard it from people. It seems that more than ten years ago, some people couldn't survive the famine, so they wanted to rob Ma's house... Later, they were all tied up by his family, and two beggars were killed first. Sacrifice the flag, and then cut it all down..."

All the girls in Emei were silent for a while.

Senior Sister Su Mengqing hesitated first: "Although this person is a bit ruthless, it is only natural that those people rob first..."

Zhao Lingzhu shook her head and retorted: "This is for the rich and unkind, why can't he open a warehouse to release grain..."

"The food is also his!"

"We are heroes, killing the rich and helping the poor, drawing swords to help!"

Cao San was not in the mood to listen to these arguments, so he couldn't help asking again: "Ladies and gentlemen, that Ma Rencai is too much, I would like to offer [-] liang of family property in silver, just to ask for justice."

Ji Xiaofu raised her hand and made a gesture, and the room fell silent.All eyes were on her.Ji Xiaofu glanced around and lowered her eyes, she slowly clenched her palms, and finally, she made a certain decision.
