Chapter 41 Capital
"Where is the dark wind coming from?!"

Just when this thought flashed through Zhao Tianbao's mind, there was only a hula and screams.

Smoke and dust rose from the field, two men in suits and a man in a leather jacket were lying not far away screaming fiercely, and it was just a few of them working together to pin Lu Bo to the ground.

"What's wrong! What happened!"

Zhao Tianbao was so frightened by this sudden change that his eyelids twitched, and he retreated far away in panic.

It wasn't until the dust settled that he and the others realized that there had been an extra person in the field at some point.

There was an extra man who looked ordinary.

The man was slowly helping the dusty old man to his feet and asked with concern, "How are you, Uncle Lu? Are you all right?"

Uncle Lu, who was still in a daze, just replied blankly by reflex: "It's okay...it's okay...huh?"

"Xiao Heng!"

Until he realized who was coming, he was startled.

"What are you doing here?! Go away! Go away... This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved..."

His first reaction was to tell Li Heng to leave quickly, don't get involved in this mess of his own, there will be no good results for messing with these guys!

Li Heng shook his head, he couldn't bear to hear such words.

Even though he is mentally strong and already has excellent emotional stability, after seeing Lu Bo's appearance, it is inevitable that the blood in his chest will surge, and a will called "anger" will not stop rising.

This unrelated old man who is so kind to him has nothing to rely on except himself.

To put it another way, this is one of Li Heng's obsessions.

Since you can't give up everything in the ordinary, you should cherish the ordinary all the more.

Just because they are ordinary, they are also more fragile. If they make mistakes, they will regret it and never come back. There is nothing to make up for all regrets. Li Heng will never experience this feeling again.

"Which one are you? How did you get here?"

Zhao Tianbao looked at Li Heng from a distance, frowning and questioning.

He didn't answer, didn't even look at him, Li Heng just wanted to help the old man who was lifted up and sit down.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Zhao Tianbao's brows and eyes twitched suddenly, and his ferocious face rose again.

He can't let others despise him like this!This made him very unhappy!

"go away"

With a low voice, Li Heng shouted to the men in suits and vests who were blocking him.

The man who appeared suddenly had an inexplicably terrifying aura, and the group of thugs acting as security guards also felt a sense of fear in the first place, not to mention his words so frightened them that they took half a step back.

Li Heng turned his head to look at Lu Chengfei who had just poked his head out of the room and cowered, and immediately shouted at him: "Come here! Take Uncle Lu aside and watch over him!"

Lu Chengfei, who was still at a loss, saw this chaos rushing in, but this "faxiao" who had always been at odds with him immediately said stiffly: "It's you? What are you doing here! What's your business with my family, I... "

However, at the next moment, Li Heng's eyes met him head-on, and Lu Chengfei's scalp became numb in an instant under the sweep of his eyes, and cold sweat gushed out of his back, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Gudong~ He couldn't help but gulped his saliva trembling all over, then walked over in a strange way, and held his father firmly according to Li Heng's instructions. The whole scene was very harmonious and peaceful.

Even Lu Chengfei himself may not understand why he would do such a thing, to offend Zhao Tianbao so that he would have no good fruit in the future.

But just now he only felt—frightened!
He just instinctively felt that if he didn't follow what Li Heng said, he would be miserable, very miserable!

Just now, the look in his eyes was like a tiger staring at a dog.

But this scene will only drive the other person crazy, making Zhao Tianbao feel as if his face has been trampled on the ground.

"You are fucking idiots!! Just let him come and go like this, I'll feed you shit!"

After being yelled at by the boss, those gangs of debtors reacted one after another, and immediately surrounded Li Heng.

At this time, another person looked at Li Heng with his old eyes wide open, his body, especially his legs began to wobble uncontrollably, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"It's... that's him! It's him! Brother Zhao... Brother Zhao, this is the person... he was the one who hit me!"

Cheng Wei tugged at Zhao Tianbao's arm and sleeves as if he was insane, and pointed at Li Heng with his right hand, which was still scarred.

Zhao Tianbao was annoyed by him, and shook him away with a backhand.

"That's great, let's settle the old and new grievances together! It's fine if you don't beat him to death, and I will cover all the medical expenses!"

Li Heng glanced sideways at this guy who kept shouting, and he knew who this guy was.

Zhao Tianbao, son of Zhao Liuhe.

Dare to be so arrogant is also because his greatest reliance is his father Zhao Liuhe behind him.

Zhao Liuhe is quite a famous person in Pingshan Town.

A typical case of Xianyu turning over in an old village in the 80s. It is said that his hometown is in Zhaozhuang not far from Liheng Village.

His mother has a bad reputation and seems to be a widow, but she is not so well-behaved. She has married many husbands one after another. It can be said that she has a hometown in all ten villages and eight townships.

Relying on a pretty good skin, although she remarried many times, but always a peasant who liked her face took over, it is not clear which Zhao Liuhe is her first husband's cub.

Zhao Liuhe's mother has always only loved to enjoy life. Every time she marries a household, she eats up a household. She is not like a peasant girl when she spends too much. She never wants to live a good life. his home.

For such a woman, don't even think about how she can educate her cheap son who doesn't even know who his father is.

Just like that, Zhao Liuhe was left alone to fend for himself.

Maybe dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes. This Zhao Liuhe has no other skills, but he has learned the tricky tricks that his mother is best at.

Every time he was caught sneaking around in the cooperative, he would immediately act out a big drama about Dou E's injustice, pretending to be a pitiful one, and coaxing the production team to show him a slack.

Over time, this Zhao Liuhe became more and more courageous, and his various behaviors became more and more vicious, and he even got a "nickname" in this town - Zhao Goudan.

The so-called dogs are disgusting to people. In any village, the dogs will bark first before people come and smell the smell.

And his later fortune was also full of bad deeds. If you just ask the old people of the same generation in the ten miles and eight towns, you can know the immoral things this guy has done.

In the early years, Zhao Liuhe worked in the countryside to harvest duck down. In order to collect duck feathers from the duck farm in Nanliang Village at a low price, he secretly dug the ridges of the rice fields. At that time, the farmers had just sprayed pesticides on the rice fields, and the field water flowed in along the earth canals. In order to raise duck ponds, most of the ducks died of medicine.

Then he crazily lowered the price on the grounds of dead ducks, and forcibly took all the duck feathers from the duck farm.

Later, he also opened a waste collection station in the town. In order to monopolize the market and suppress competitors, he secretly damaged the tricycle chain of a couple collecting waste, causing a car accident on the way, and the man became paralyzed.

All these are too numerous to enumerate, and even in the course of his fortune, there were not a few incidents involving human life.

However, these things were all due to the backward criminal investigation methods at that time, the inability to collect a lot of evidence, and the lack of legal awareness of the villagers in the mountain villages, etc., which led to Zhao Liuhe being able to escape from justice all the time.

Afterwards, he started various businesses, from waste collection stations to cement mortar mixing plants, opened leather processing plants, and contracted many brick kilns in rural areas.

The business grew bigger and bigger, and after he had money, he even recruited many idle social people from the local area to act as security guards for his "Zhao family" to protect his assets.

Once a foreign investor came here and wanted to open a factory in Pingshan Town, but he was harassed by him, a local snake, and had no choice but to quit.

Later, his business scale expanded to the county, and he won many commendations and awards - "Outstanding Farmer Entrepreneurs in Pingshan Town", "Top 200 Outstanding Entrepreneurs in XX County", "Representatives of Farmers Getting Rich in [-]X"...

Most of the market in Pingshan Town was monopolized by this Zhao Liuhe. What kind of Zhao Family Development Co., Ltd. was established, and he became a household name in the entire county, and he returned to his hometown Zhaozhuang to build a Zhao Family Ancestral Hall?
A person who can't even figure out who his own father is, and whose name is randomly chosen by his mother, actually builds an ancestral hall, and he doesn't know where he worshiped his ancestors.

Zhao Gou thinks no one dares to mention it anymore, so everyone has to respect him as "Mr. Zhao" and "Boss Zhao".

And no one would mention the almost innumerable immoral and smoldering and unconscionable things he did in the past, at least no one would dare to mention them in any public place.

Since then, the former Zhao Gougan has become the half king of Pingshan Town.

The crops of more than half of the farmers must only be processed in the processing factory he opened, and all the processed ash chaff is directly recycled at a low price and becomes feed for his farm;
Now, every villager who wants to build a new house buys eight out of ten bricks from his kiln. As for the quality of the bricks and stones?
It can't be said that you are questioning the excellent companies judged by the town.

In Journey to the West, there is a passage about Sun Wukong's self-reported connections-"The Jade Emperor recognizes me, and the king of heaven follows me; the 28 constellations fear me, and the officials of the nine obsidian stars fear me; As a servant, Wulu Ramangshen once became my descendant. Regardless of the three realms, five divisions, and all the governors of the ten directions, they all know me deeply and face to face."

Now that Zhao Liuhe has almost such a status in the county, he is the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" in more than a hundred towns and villages in this county.

It is also understandable why Zhao Tianbao, as the chief "monkey monkey grandson", has such a posture.

Of course, although this Zhao Tianbao is domineering and arrogant, he is not an idiot, who is only mobilizing people for trouble.

Li Heng can actually understand the deeper reasons for this incident.

On the surface, it looked like a simple conflict of going to the door to ask for gambling debts, but behind it was a small reflection of his Zhao family's rural layout in the entire county.

What is reflected in this is a deep-rooted problem, that is-rural land transfer.

Land annexation has existed since ancient times. In ancient times, the landlord class represented by the country gentry and the gentry used land rent and land tax as the reins to bind poor farmers and tenants. As a tenant farmer and servant, he relied on working and farming for the landlord in exchange for a place to live.

In modern times, it is a land privatization development process led by private capital represented by real estate businessmen. Through commercial operations and research on the loopholes in some grassroots land policies, a breakthrough is found to occupy land from villages and towns at a low price, and reform township enterprises or Concentrate housing areas, break the original small-scale peasant economic model, gather farmers who have left the land into newly-built factories and residential areas, and use them as consumption power to digest the production capacity of newly-built enterprises, or export them to earn profits. This is a modern enclosure sports.

Originally, the modern enclosure represented by the latter could release the potential of the land to a certain extent, drive rural development and improve the living standards of farmers.

But all of this requires a premise, that is, private capital that dominates land transfers must abide by the rules, be conscientious, and not oppress farmers to sell land at low prices, not buy farmers’ labor with low wages, and not harvest farmers’ savings with high consumption.

But is it possible?

The profit-seeking nature of capital itself determines that this is a luxury. Coupled with the human nature that cannot stand the test, it is obvious how everything will develop.

And Zhao Liuhe, a folk capitalist who has climbed up from the bottom of the people by various invisible means, not only did not have the slightest sympathy for the common people because of his status as the bottom in the past, but intensified his dominance over half of the county and hundreds of thousands of people. The basic necessities of life, thin Wanmin to enrich themselves.

However, with the improvement of national policies, the process of rural land transfer has become more stringent, and the loopholes in land use rights, land ownership, and field expropriation procedures have been continuously repaired, and farmers have improved their understanding of land policies and laws. Such loopholes are becoming more and more difficult drilled through.

Even his Zhao family couldn't blatantly challenge the national policy, but the pace of expansion and greed would not stop, so some sinister tricks that were not on the table were used one after another.

Among them, there are privately set up casinos to lure some good gamblers into the pit, and then trap the entrants with a killing trick, making them lose to the point where they have to bet on their family properties. , and finally took a piece of land for nothing at an extremely low price or even without spending real money at all.

Of course, Lu Chengfei, that idiot who loves gambling, couldn't see the reason for this, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into this.

Not only that, farmers who often lost their fields did not end there. Instead, they introduced them to work in their own factories or construction sites after the target lost their source of income, and at the same time lowered labor wages to get two meals for one.

And the targets they choose are all premeditated. Often those fields have key geographical locations in the entire farming area, or canals and fields, or the upper reaches of the farmland, or occupy the four sides. After obtaining these fields, they Just get some machinery or excavate the land, apply various chemicals, and eventually the surrounding fields are gradually unable to be cultivated, and they are either abandoned or sold at a low price or leased to Zhao's company.

Although some farmers have filed lawsuits against them, firstly, the legal proceedings are complicated and costly, and secondly, the methods used by the Zhao family are often on the fringes of the law. Even if some lawsuits are lost, they still make money on the overall level.

How can people's power compete with capital?

No!

So, this is why Li Heng exists here!
