For the poor people in Dongcheng District, the past month has been like a dream, which makes them unable to believe it.
First of all, the public security in Dongcheng District has improved. The gangsters and hooligans in the streets and alleys have disappeared without a trace. Some brave people quietly go out for a walk at night. The bullies who used to block the roads and rob them have also disappeared. For strange.
Another one is the reduction of protection fees. Usually the first person collects it once, and the second person comes and collects it again, which makes them miserable. If they don't pay, they knock on the door loudly in the middle of the night, or break in during the day to threaten the people. Release poisonous insects, throw excrement, and some unexpected methods.
Why don't you leave here? If you don’t have a lot of money to buy a house in Qinfeng County, the land deed price there is dozens of times that of the slums. Otherwise, who would want to live in the slums all day?
The existence of this group of gangsters has created a vicious cycle for the poor living here, who will never get ahead, but it is different now. The protection fee has been reduced by half, and you only need to pay a sum. Even better, It is impossible to pay multiple times.
According to some well-informed people, the boss of Dongcheng District is someone. It seems that Zhao Ping, one of the four gentlemen of Dongcheng, has subdued the other three and cleared away the other forces in Dongcheng. Now Dongcheng District is officially owned by Qin Feng It is under the jurisdiction of the county, but all the poor people in Dongcheng District know in their hearts that he, 'Boss Zhao', has the final say here!
The poor people in Dongcheng District are quite happy. At least they are much better than before. They were very cooperative when paying the protection fee. They even confused the young man who came to collect the money: Are these the same poor people who were forced to pay without giving money before? ? !
Now they don't dare to be arrogant. Du Hang, one of the original Four Gentlemen of Dongcheng, issued an order. If anyone dares to violently collect money, and the poor people report it to him, he will take off the offender's arm on the spot and bury him twice. It makes sense. No.
At this time, Du Hang, Leng Zhe and Chu Zhentian were sitting side by side in Room No. 477, reporting the recent situation in Dongcheng District to Chen Mo, who was dressed in white.
Du Hang sat at the top of the gang. He had been full of energy in the past month, and he had found the feeling of being the leader of a gang. Although there were only more than 300 people in the gang, he was still a person with more power than ten thousand people.
He couldn't help but look at Chen Mo with a bit of respect. If the man in front of him hadn't promoted the three of them, how could they have achieved what they have now?
"Master Zhao" is what the three of them call Chen Mo. After this man established the Against the Water Alliance, he rarely showed up. Everyone just knew that there was such a person. Usually the person who presides over the "Nike the Water Alliance" is Du Hang, and Leng Zhe is him. As for Chu Zhentian, he reported all kinds of news in the county directly to "Mr. Zhao". The two of them had no jurisdiction. The three of them each performed their duties, but everything was peaceful and uneventful, unlike the tense situation a few months ago. completely different.
"Against the Current" is the name given by Chen Mo. It comes from his feelings. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. It refers to his current mood.
The plan of the Against the Water Alliance is divided into three stages. The primary stage is to wipe out all the Dongcheng forces, make one family the dominant one, reduce the collection of protection fees, and relieve the pressure on the poor. at the same time. Information channels were laid throughout Qinfeng County, and any information was sorted out in detail and sent to Chen Mo so that he could analyze the situation.
In the intermediate stage, restaurants, schools, shops, grocery stores, gambling houses, romantic places, etc. are built in the slums of Dongcheng. The land here is also cheap, and it is not a problem to open a few small stalls. Only with assets can Qinfeng County become a county. The capital of the new city, at the same time, the younger brothers of the Niushui League also have a place to have fun. The money given to them goes back to the Nishui League, and it can also attract the poor people from Dongcheng District, saving them more than half a trip no matter what they do. Go to Qinfeng County in time,
The advanced stage is to slowly divert the flow, sweep away the forces in the remaining three districts and merge them... to form the new city of Qinfeng County!
After Mr. Zhao said all this, the three of them were stunned. This man was so irritating to compare with others. Why didn't they think of this? And it doesn’t sound like it’s impossible!
Mr. Zhao also personally promised: After the matter is completed, Du Hang will be the city lord of the new city of Qinfeng County, Leng Zhe will be responsible for the law enforcement and jurisdiction of the entire new city of Qinfeng County, and Chu Zhentian will maintain the stable operation of the city. It will not take long to follow him. If you do it well, you can achieve your goal within three years.
The new city of Qinfeng County is ostensibly under the management of Qinfeng County, but by then it will be Du Hang and others who have the final say. Considering Chen Mo's cultivator's thinking, the Qi Refining monks in charge of Zhao State will not care about such trivial matters. They did not start a fight over a small matter, they just built a town, and it was not treason. Besides, Qinfeng County of Zhao State is located at the junction, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if the report is brought to the emperor's feet, it is not certain when the news will come back.
With that being said, how come these people don't have high morale? It took just one month to reach the preliminary stage required by Chen Mo.
After listening to the two people's recent report in Dongcheng District, Chen Mo nodded: "You two have done a good job. Now you can promote the construction of the intermediate stage. Remember, if you don't understand something, ask someone who knows it. If it doesn't work, No matter what method, even if it is tied up, we must invite knowledgeable people. For example, in the school, can some of you be teachers? Go to Qinfeng County and pay me some money. If you don't come, you will take your family members as hostages. Remember, Don't treat him badly, our purpose is to let him teach with peace of mind, we are not trying to enmity with him, do you understand?"
Leng Zhe and Du Hang immediately stood up and bowed their hands in response.
"Master, there are a few things happening in the county recently." When Chu Zhentian saw that the two of them had finished speaking, he who was sitting in the third position stood up and said with his hands in hand.
"Speak." Chen Mo glanced at him and said,
"The first thing is that Qinfeng County is about to be merged into the territory of Chu State..."
Chu Zhentian took out a map from his arms and spread it on a nearby table: "Sir, please look, this is the boundary of Zhao State."
Chen Mo and a few others stepped forward. Chu Zhentian pointed at the lower right corner of the map. The location of Qinfeng County borders Chu State's Lanfa County, and to the right is all the land of Chu State.
"The State of Zhao and the State of Chu are in an alliance. This time the Zhao State's court returned to the State of Chu the four major counties that occupied Chu State 150 years ago. Among them is our Qinfeng County. So soon, Qinfeng County will It belongs to the State of Chu."
"But please rest assured, Master Zhao. Even if Qinfeng County returns to the Chu State, Qinfeng County will still be managed by Governor Ma and will not affect the Master's plan." Chu Zhentian said seriously.
He is busy delivering information every day and has not been to a place like Yihong Building for a long time. For him, this is the real big deal. Once he has power, where will he want to go? Others have to respectfully call him Master Chu!
"What else?" Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask.
"There is also the Zhaotian Sect of Chu State. They will send an immortal to the county in the near future to recruit the immortal seedlings who have been appointed ten years ago." Chu Zhentian thought for a while and said.
They had only heard about immortals, but it was rare to see an immortal. But then again, the person in front of them... wasn't he an immortal?
Chu Zhentian and the other two people felt that Chen Mo now seemed to be missing something compared to Chen Mo a month ago. The invisible pressure on people had disappeared, and he was no different from ordinary people.
But a few people will not do anything like that test. Once such a thing is done, everything the three of them have done will be in vain. What if someone does this on purpose? Are they not destroying their own future?
Moreover, what 'Mr. Zhao' is doing now does not endanger their affairs at all, and the power has been given to them. He will settle any troubles. This is supporting the three of them. How can they repay kindness with enmity?
Chen Mo hummed: "Pay close attention to this matter, and let me know if anything happens as soon as possible!"
Chu Zhentian quickly agreed.
"I know you all have doubts in your hearts." Chen Mo said lightly: "I don't understand why I am here. What I can tell you now is that I will never stay here for too long. This is your place after all. Do your work with peace of mind. , don’t think too much, it’s good for everyone. What do you think?”
The three of them were shocked. This might be a warning to them not to have any random thoughts. They knelt down in panic and said, "Young Master Mingjian!"
"Let's break up. I have some things to do recently. I hope there will be trouble in Dongcheng. As Chu Zhentian said last time, the Wild Wolf Gang in Nancheng District began to harass the poor people in Dongcheng District. I suppressed this matter with thunderous force. , Du Hang, you lead a team to patrol for me, and if you find one, kill each one. Even if you want to start a war, you have to wait until I come back."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he dismissed everyone, and he turned around and entered the back hall. After coming out of the back door, he went to the Zhenbao Pavilion in Qin Feng County with his true face.
Speaking of which, I haven't been to this painting stall for more than a month. I must be worried that Uncle Lin is impatient?
Chen Mo has been learning martial arts from the old man Li Qing for the past month. He also learned the technique of converting spiritual power into internal power. That night, he couldn't wait to convert the first level of Qi refining into internal power, which was equivalent to the hard training of a martial arts master. About fifteen years ago.
Fortunately, Chen Mo acted quickly enough. The next day, the first level of Qi Refining was completely gone. His spiritual energy meridians were completely blocked by small black pieces, and he could no longer raise any spiritual energy in his body! Fortunately, his previous internal strength is still there, and he still has some ability to protect himself.
This was also the reason why he didn't panic at all when facing Du Hang and the others.
Without aura, there are no means to fight the enemy. Because of the rapid development of Dongcheng District, some poor people in Nancheng District have moved into Dongcheng District. This behavior will only increase as time goes by. Chen Mo He must hurry up and learn the martial arts skills given to him by the old man Li Qing in order to win the competition with the Nancheng Wild Wolf Gang and take over the Nancheng District.
The Treasure Pavilion was still there. Chen Mo walked up to the second floor and immediately attracted the attention of some spies. They left quietly to report. Chen Mo, who had no spiritual consciousness, did not know all this, but he came The purpose is to let them report the news, so naturally there is no reason to stop it.
"Painter Chen, you're finally here! I haven't seen you recently. Where did you get rich?"
The middle-aged fat boss of Zhenbao Pavilion laughed loudly, which made the whole second floor tremble slightly. Fortunately, the painter was back, otherwise the money owed to him would have been gone, and the deposit he paid would not be worth a month. The stall fee!
