Wu Ren quickly found a reason to celebrate.
As the Governor's Mansion and Liaodong Academy were completed one by one, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce purchased the land and built the building with its own money.
The reason for the celebration was the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Building, and the celebration location was in Tianshui New Village.
So simple and crude!
After the celebration was decided, Wu Ren led his subordinates to start preparations.
Because part of the function of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is purchasing, there shouldn’t be too many things in their warehouse.
A long list of things to be used for the banquet was made. After the list was made, someone would be responsible for picking up the goods from the warehouse.
Members who participated in this operation, whether indirectly or directly, were successively notified to return to Houcheng.
The three brothers of the Qin family were also secretly informed to return to Houcheng.
Knowing that a hundred-table banquet was going to be held, Qin Zhao even organized people to go to the mountains for autumn hunting.
They go out for the day, go in the morning and come back in the evening.
A total of seven wild boars were hunted, including four large wild boars and three small wild boars. There were also five roe deer, fifty-three rabbits, seventy pheasants, and several other wild animals.
Everyone else was very happy, but Qin Zhao was not very satisfied with the prey he had hunted. At this time, he missed his Xiaoliu very much. If Xiaoliu took people hunting, the number of prey would be doubled.
The chief chef of this banquet was Master Chen. In addition to him, Wu Ren also personally came forward and went to various restaurants in Liaodong County to invite four or five chefs to come and help.
The banquet will be held at the courtyard dam in front of Tianshui New Village Comprehensive Ancestral Hall.
This courtyard dam is large enough. To the south is Lu's private school, and to the north is the comprehensive ancestral hall behind a screen wall.
Every household in Tianshui New Village is newly moved. The establishment of the comprehensive ancestral hall was based on their need to worship their ancestors. Each of their households can offer a memorial tablet to their ancestors in the comprehensive ancestral hall.
This is considered the public activity area of Tianshui New Village. During the autumn harvest, this courtyard dam can also be used as a drying ground.
After Wu Ren's statistics, they decided to have a hundred tables for this banquet.
Because there are currently more than 500 members of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, as well as business guests, who will be invited to dinner.
For this feast, they even built a temporary building next to the courtyard dam and built ten stoves.
Two or three days before we decided to hold a banquet, Tianshui New Village was full of joy. Women like Mrs. Xu brought their own small benches and spontaneously helped out every day.
Wash and wash, kill chickens and ducks.
Everyone was talking and laughing while working.
"I heard from my son that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money this time, so I wanted to take advantage of the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building to have a hundred tables to celebrate."
"I heard that after this banquet, there will be a welfare distribution later."
"I wonder what will be posted?"
"No matter what we post, the people above will definitely not treat us badly."
With the return of Wu Ren and his party, news about Southland also spread in a small area.
The managers of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce all vaguely knew that the pills, books, papers, threshing machines, etc. of their Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were selling very well in the Southland and they had made a lot of money.
As for the inside story of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce going to the Southland, only the core managers knew.
As for Tianshui New Village, many young people have been recruited into the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and those who are capable are assigned to management positions one by one. If you don't have much ability, you can just work in workshops, such as paper mills, breeding mills, etc. Being a small worker is also quite good. Therefore, these wives and aunts in the village are very well-informed.
On the day of the banquet, Tianshui New Village was really lively.
The banquet started at a quarter past noon and lasted until You hour.
At unitary hour, twilight envelopes the earth.
There was a special table, which was not placed in the open-air courtyard, but inside the house.
Those present were all core members of their group.
When Le Guicai was invited into the room, his eyelids jumped when he saw everyone.
He recognized the people in the room at a glance, county captain Xu Zheng, and Wu Ren, the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce; in addition, there were the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin, Zhou Da and other outstanding figures in the army; Lu Wei and Xiao Kun, one kind and the other serious, although he didn't know them, they didn't look like ordinary people.
They were all obviously acquainted with each other, chatting together in twos and threes.
Qin Zhao pulled him over.
After they chatted for a while, the boy outside the door shouted, "Master Lu, Mrs. Qin Liu is here!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly tidied up their clothes.
Le Guicai was a little confused. Mr. Lu was the governor of Liaodong County and should be the last one to arrive, but Mrs. Qin Liu, who was it?
Just as he was wondering, Lu Da came in with a woman. That woman should be Mrs. Qin Liu. She was half a step behind Master Lu.
But what he didn't understand was why a woman appeared among the important people in this room? And everyone seems to be surprised? He looked carefully and realized that this woman was Mr. Lu's daughter! She seems to be married to Qin Liu?
The Qin family is still guilty, but she is called the Sixth Lady? Is it because of her identity?
"You're welcome, everyone, please take your seats!"
While talking, Lu Desheng sat in the first place, with Lu Songli on the left and Qin Heng on the right. If Qin Sheng was in Liaodong County, this seat should be his.
Then Qin Yan, Qin Zhao, Wu Ren, Ma Jin, Zhou Da, Lu Wei, Xu Zheng, Xiao Kun and others took their seats one after another.
It's a pity that Xue Xu, Qin Sheng, and Yang Wei are not here.
Le Gui was the slowest person to take the seat. At this time, everyone looked at him.
Except for Le Guicai, almost everyone present was the backbone of those in charge on the exile road.
The reason why Lu Songli asked Wu Ren to invite him was because the Lu family and the Qin family's little moves couldn't be hidden from him. Instead of letting him have grudges in the future, it was better to let him express his position now.
Le Guicai has seen the changes in Liaodong County. Compared to the previous Sheriff, the new Sheriff Lu Desheng is undoubtedly much better.
With this arrangement now, it was obvious that Lu Desheng wanted to get him on board.
Isn’t it just about joining a small group? he can.
Le Guicai sat down silently.
His actions fell into the eyes of everyone.
At this time, Lu Songli picked up the wine glass, stood up, and looked at everyone with a smile.
Except for Le Guicai, everyone present was an old partner. After arriving in Liaodong County, these people made some achievements in the army, politics and business.
Xu Zheng became a county captain, Wu Ren was now the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin and Zhou Da, had a large number of small groups of supporters in the army.
For example, Lu Wei, Xiao Kun, etc. are also among the talkers of various ministries in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, the current magistrates of Houcheng County, Guo Chunsheng, Wulu County Magistrate Liu Heshan, Wangping County Magistrate Chen Ping, and Chief Secretary Li Dan are all pro-Lu faction.
If there is a table with deputy seats, they can also attend.
