Chapter 1159 1161【Come to make trouble】
"The scourge of war?! Isn't the mountain peaceful these years?"
"Where will there be disasters of war? The north is not peaceful, but we are fine in the south."
"Master Ye is really too careful, it's almost unfounded. Does it mean that the more skillful you are, the less courageous you are?"
Everyone is puzzled.
Bashan has not experienced much artillery fire for decades from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Therefore, the public does not have a clear understanding of the disaster of war.
Now that there is no war, and Xiang Nan is about to move, I feel that he is worrying too much.
If everyone doesn't believe it, Xiang Nan can't make a big publicity. Too much to say, and the accusation of spreading rumors, disturbing people's hearts, and timidity before fighting will be troublesome.
Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't say much, and led people on the road directly.
Departing from Pashan, passing through Shunde, Zhongshan and Jiangmen all the way to Macau.
There are more than two hundred and sixty miles along the way. If you walk, you will have to walk for two days and two nights.
Fortunately, there were horse-drawn carriages at that time. Zhang Yongcheng and Ye Zhun could ride in horse-drawn carriages instead of walking, so it was relatively easy.
Other decoration teams and transport teams have to walk.
Jin Shanzhao led his brothers, riding horses to protect the left and right, and sentry forward and backward.
They are men from Qilu. Qilu has produced thieves since ancient times, and their equestrian skills are quite good.
Fortunately, the south is still peaceful at this time. In addition, Xiang Nan's team is mighty, a large team of nearly a hundred people. And carrying a shovel and a hoe, not to mention being fully armed, but it is better than bare hands.
Thus, along the way, many Xiao Xiaoxiao were intimidated, and they didn't dare to attack them. He watched them walk away helplessly.
…
"Jinshan is looking for, are you okay?" Xiang Nan poked his head out and asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Wen, there are a few boys who are restless and came to test, but I sent them all away." Jin Shan said with a big grin.
Although he is a rough guy with little knowledge, he has been in the arena for a long time. He can basically tell which ones are rushing, which ones are stepping on acupoints, and which ones are exploring the wind.
Some small thieves, seeing the crowds, more than a dozen large cars, will inevitably become thieves.
But when Jin Shan found out, the brothers stepped forward and yelled. With their large size and loud voice, they immediately scared those people away.
So I walked all the way, and nothing happened.
"Okay, I'm tired." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
"I didn't say anything, ask brother, don't worry if you leave it to me." Jin Shan laughed.
…
"Awen, you are worrying too much. The world is generally peaceful now." Zhou Qingquan said with a smile, "Otherwise, those of us who do business would not dare to go on the road."
Xiang Nan nodded.
The economy in the south has been active in recent years, and there are constant business trips on the road, which is very popular for a while. The so-called poor mountains and rivers are full of troublemakers, and in rich areas, there are much fewer bandits in groups.
Even if there is, the local area will immediately organize a militia to carry out the suppression. Just like the merchants in Guangzhou, they once formed an army with a scale of 4,000 people and ten regiments, with guns and cannons. With such strength, any bandit would be scared away.
However, there are fewer robbers and robbers in the rivers and lakes, but there are more official bandits and militias.
They set up card charges on the road, ask for cards, and blackmail pedestrians. They are more ruthless than robbers and robbers. Xiang Nan has spent hundreds of dollars just to buy the road along the way.
However, after going through many barriers, I finally arrived in Macau, and it was a worthwhile trip.
…
Xiang Nan led a team to his home, and then arranged for people to unload the truck and move all the gold, silver and soft goods upstairs.
Then, he asked the decoration team to carry out the construction according to his design.
The drawings are designed by Xiang Nan himself, ensuring safety and reliability.
Immediately, the decoration team planed the wooden floor and began to dig a big hole in the hall.
"I'm going to dig a storage room here." Xiang Nan explained, "Brother Quan, think about it, once the war starts, there will definitely be refugees everywhere, starving and dying everywhere. The prices of rice, cloth, meat, vegetables, and oil will all soar. .
At that time, not to mention going to a tea house to drink tea, it would be good to have a bowl of rice to eat. So I have to save more food for emergencies. "
During World War II, because Macau was a neutral zone, a large number of people flooded here to take refuge. But the Orientals blocked the ports and land to prevent supplies from entering. As a result, Macau fell into a famine, and tens of thousands of people starved to death.
In this case, of course, we must prepare early. Otherwise, when the time comes, no one will sell a bowl of porridge.
"You are really thoughtful." Zhou Qingquan smiled and nodded.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan and his family lived in the inn.
During the day, Xiang Nan came to supervise the work and instructed these workers to do things.
In addition, he also helped Zhou Qingquan in the matter of buying a house.
Zhou Qingquan not only wants to buy a house, he also wants to open a factory in Macau, so there are more requirements.
While the two were busy, something happened.
"Young master, go out and have a look. A group of people came to the door, clamoring to see you." Uncle Wang hurried in and said.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, then walked out of the room.
At the gate, Jin Shanzhao was leading his brothers and arguing 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 great-grandfather, you fellow countrymen, get out of here~"
"Occupied our house and dug up our treasures, get out and hand over our treasures."
They shouted loudly.
"Get the **** out of here, whoever dares to take a step forward, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
"If you have the kindness, come up, let you experience Lao Tzu's flipping fist~"
"Damn it, why are you arguing, if you have the guts, fight with me, and see if I don't beat you all to the ground."
Jin Shanzhao led his brothers to scold them.
…
"Looking for Jinshan, what's the matter?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Brother Wen, these people insisted that this piece of land was left by their grandfather, and that the treasures we dug up in the ground belonged to them, so let us return them." Jin Shanxun explained.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Seeing that they hired so many people to dig a hole here and transport out so much soil every day, these people must think that they are digging some treasure, so they came here to find fault.
After realizing this, Xiang Nan was a little dumbfounded.
"Look for Jinshan, open the door." Xiang Nan said immediately.
Jinshan opened the door immediately.
Xiang Nan walked out to welcome him, "Zai Xia Ye asked, which fellow is the leader?"
"I~" A man dressed in satin and who seemed to have some money came out.
"What's your name?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"My name is Niu Fenzhi, this land belongs to my family, and the treasures in the land should belong to me when they are dug out." Niu Fenzhi said.
"Why, you say it belongs to your family, what evidence do you have? Show me the house deed, the land deed." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand.
Of course Niu Fenzhi doesn’t have one, “All these folks can testify to me that this land belongs to our family.”
"Then why is it 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, but I didn't sell the great-grandfather's treasure, so I had to put Return the things dug in the ground to me."
