After hearing Brother Jinshan's reminder and his complaint, Shanfeng burst into laughter. After all, this Senior Brother Jinshan is one of our own and is willing to think about Shan Feng.
Shan Feng: "Senior Brother Jinshan, if that Xicheng villa is really nice and big, then you and a few junior brothers might as well move to my place. In addition, prepare the best room for Second Senior Uncle Tian En. From now on. , when I’m not in the city, Senior Brother Lao will take care of this house.”
Jinshan was overjoyed: "Thank you, young general. Now my brothers have improved."
Shanfeng: "We can't lose this drug store. We Taihang can't lose our duty to travel in the world."
Jinshan: "Don't worry, Major General, I understand all the rules."
Shanfeng chuckled: "Brother, how many soldiers do you have now? What official position do you hold in this city?"
Jinshan said: "Now I have about 100 soldiers and horses directly under our Taihang, all scattered in various industries in the city. The number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by us is no less than 1,000. In addition, senior brother, I am here There are no official positions in the city. There is only the empty post of a security major. The second child, Yinshan, the third child, Tongshan, and the fourth child, Shishan. The three of them work in the military camp, and they are all majors. They have about 900 people in total. "
Shanfeng nodded: "Yinshan, Tongshan, and Shishan are working under Liu Waizui. Once their warlords fight, will the three of them also participate in the war?"
Jinshan said: "Don't worry, Major General. The errands I assigned to them are all from the Guards Battalion, specifically to protect Liu Waizui. Even if the Beiyang Army is completely destroyed, the second, third, and fourth sons may not go to the battlefield. We are too good to say no. If you participate in the warlords' fight, you will definitely not participate in it. Don't worry about this."
Shan Feng nodded: "That's okay. Look back at Liu Waizui and cut the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, at least by more than half. No matter what kind of war we fight, we can't reap the benefits. We Taihang's rules must be made clear to him!"
Jinshan sighed and said, "Okay, I will listen to you. I will keep a close eye on you during this period. If Liu Waizui dares to cheat later, I will teach him a lesson. However, don't put too much hope in this guy. Yuan Datou gave him the military salary. He is actually the executor of the task. He doesn’t count on it.”
Shanfeng nodded: "Yes, I know that. However, to raise military pay, you don't necessarily have to make a fuss about the common people. The rich and powerful families in the city also have money to contribute. If the warlords from the south come over, this rich and powerful family will , where are you going with your family and dependents? It’s better to have money and donate more money to keep yourself safe.”
Jinshan: "Yes. That's the truth. As soon as Liu Waizui came here, he took control of the wealthy families in the three eastern cities. It is said that they had a lot of private interest transactions and a lot of coercion and inducement. Hehe, Beiyang This group of people is much more sinister than us. Master has never allowed us to do this kind of coercion and inducement before. In the past, we could only attack bandits, punish rape and eradicate evil. Unlike them, good people and evil people eat all, and the appearance is so ugly. ."
After a while, Dalong came back and reported that the house in the west of the city was indeed a three-in-one house, a garden that combined Chinese and Western styles. There are two small villas at the front and back, with more than thirty or forty rooms. Coupled with a supporting three-story barracks dormitory, it can accommodate about a hundred soldiers, which is not a problem.
It's a bit too late today, so I'll let everyone go and rest first, and then go and take over the villa tomorrow.
The next day, Shanfeng took someone over to take over the villa. When he got there, he saw that it was indeed a large garden. There are three entrances inside and outside, several yards and several houses.
Shanfeng: "Er Mao Lao Qi, take all the soldiers to the dormitory. Dalong Dabiao, let's go in."
Li Wansan was also waiting for Shan Feng outside the villa. When he saw Shan Feng coming out, he immediately ran over.
Li Wansan: "Hello, Major General, you have come so early. My dear Li Wansan, do you still remember me?"
Shan Feng laughed loudly: "It's only been one night, why don't you remember the rich man Li? Thank you for giving me such a nice house, which allows my soldiers to have a place to stay in the city. Isn't it convenient for you to accompany me in?" Please introduce it to me by the way."
Li Wansan was immediately overjoyed: "It's convenient. I'm here today just to show you the way. Please come in and I'll introduce you."
Entering the courtyard of the villa, Li Wansan said: "There is a small courtyard facing the street of this villa. This is the concierge. You can arrange a few guards to watch on weekdays and go to the wing at night. Do you think it is suitable?"
Shanfeng nodded: "Not bad, not bad. This yard is not small. I'm afraid it won't be less than three acres of land."
Li Wansan: "You are right, it is exactly three acres of land. There are some flowers, plants and trees here. You can take a walk in the yard on weekdays. This is a parking lot, which can park 7-8 cars."
Shanfeng pointed to the houses next to him and said, "What are these houses for?"
Li Wansan: "Major General, this is your military camp. There are rows of rooms. There are more than 30 large and small rooms in it. If you arrange it more compactly, it is easy to accommodate a hundred or dozens of people. The row of small houses over there is the canteen. What do you think?"
Shanfeng nodded: "Yes, yes, these soldiers have a place to live."
Li Wansan: "Please come inside. Inside is the first small villa."
Walking into the living room of the first small villa, it suddenly dawned on me that it was filled with Western-style furniture, including very elegant sofas, coffee tables, tables and chairs.
Shanfeng walked in and took a look: "Not bad, Lao Li, you must have spent a lot of money on this villa. Thank you for your kindness."
Li Wansan: "As long as you are satisfied. This living room is where you will receive guests in the future. In addition, there are ten large and small rooms on the second floor for the accommodation of your accompanying soldiers. There are five large and small rooms on the third floor, of which the one facing the street is the largest. , In addition, the room on the east side is the second largest. You can make your own arrangements for accommodation."
Shan Feng nodded: "Brother Jinshan, please keep this house for Uncle Tian'en. Leave the largest room on the third floor facing the street for Uncle Tian'en. As for the remaining rooms, you can choose for yourself. Wherever you live, live wherever you want.”
Everyone cheered and rushed upstairs.
Shan Feng laughed and said, "rich man Li, let's go and take a look at the back. Let's go. Just the two of us. Please."
Go through the hall and enter the inner courtyard. This is the third entrance. A small white western-style building in front.
Li Wansan: "Major General, this is the inner courtyard, where your relatives live. This three-story building has a living room and kitchen on the first floor, five guest rooms on the second floor, and five large and small rooms on the third floor. Do you think it's suitable? ?”
Shan Feng nodded: "This place is good."
Shan Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, Rich Man Li. Who lives in such a good place? How did you buy it?"
Li Wansan said with a smile: "This place turned out to be the official residence of the fourth-rank defensive officer of the Qing Dynasty. Didn't the Qing Dynasty fall later? The defensive officer wanted to return to his hometown in Inner Mongolia, so he sold this official residence to me at a low price. I originally I wanted to live there myself, but if I didn’t hear that you were coming, I would immediately arrange everything here and give it to you.”
Shan Feng: "This used to be an official residence, no wonder it is so fully equipped. Lao Li, you gave me such a big treasure, do you have something to ask me for? You can tell me."
Li Wansan: "Major General, how dare I ask you for anything? It's not like the current situation is so chaotic recently. Li is sitting at home in fear every day, not thinking about food or food, always worrying that some prostitutes will come to my house and cause trouble. I’ve never been at ease.”
Shan Feng laughed loudly: "Old Li, I understand what you mean. The situation is not good, and you are frightened at home? Let's do this. If someone dares to disturb your home, don't panic. Please report it to me and Jinshan immediately. Senior brother. Lao Li, where do you live?"
Li Wansan pointed to a house next door and said, "Thank you, General. Old Li, I live here. It's next door to you. Look, that little white western-style building is my home."
Shan Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, so you live here. Then we will be neighbors from now on, haha. Don't worry, we will never let the gangsters come to harass your home when we live here in the future. Don't worry now. ?”
Li Wansan immediately beamed: "Thank you, Major General. Thank you, Major General. I will rely on the reputation of Major General in the future. I will rely on you a lot in the future. In addition, are you interested in meeting other residents on this street? Everyone. When they heard that you were coming, everyone was very happy and wanted to see you."
Shan Feng nodded: "That's okay. However, I still have some chores to be busy with recently. Let's do this. In ten days, I will set up a table in this mansion, and you can call them all here, so that everyone can get to know each other."
Li Wansan was very happy immediately: "Thank you, Major General, for the favor. Then Li will wait for a meal."
Shan Feng: "Okay. That's okay, that's it. I'll send someone to notify you then."
Li Wansan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Major General, I will leave my fortune and life to you. I hope you will take more care of your brothers in the future! Thank you very much!"
Shan Feng chuckled: "Don't worry, don't worry."
After seeing off Li Wansan, Shanfeng returned to the villa in the front yard and saw that the entire third floor was empty, but several rooms on the second floor were occupied. They are all disciples of Second Master Tianen. Some rooms on the first floor are occupied by Dalong, Dabiao, Ermao Laoqi and the others.
Shan Feng: "What's wrong? Don't you all dare to live on the third floor?"
Jinshan laughed and said: "Major General, the third floor is the master's territory. How can we people dare to live there? We are content to live on the second floor."
Shanfeng: "Okay, I've been living here recently. Also, in the afternoon, let's go for a walk around the city to see what's going on in the city."
