The Republic of Heroes

The people of Linzi City experienced the glory and benefits of being the citizens of a province overnight. The county magistrates of two 31 counties came to the provincial government to report on their duties, and there were nearly a thousand people accompanying Ma Bian. Linzi's business suddenly became extremely prosperous. All items are starting to sell out.This small city with the same name as the capital of Qi State in the Warring States Period became so lively overnight that it made people a little ecstatic.The county magistrate meeting will be held on October 28st, and it is only September [-]th, and there are still two days to spare, so the county magistrates will go out together and visit various historical sites when they are bored.

The most famous one in Linzi City is the Jixia Academy. At that time, King Qiwei built the Academy outside the Jimen Gate to attract talented and learned scholars from all over the world. For a time, celebrities and scholars from all over the world came in droves. Zou Yan, Shen Dao, Mencius, and Xunzi were all in Jixia. Academy office.Therefore, Jixia Academy has also become a good place for literati and poets to pay tribute to the ancients.Most of the county magistrates are well-learned in poetry and books, so they naturally prefer to come here.

After counting those who had good deeds, seventeen county magistrates came to Jixia Academy at the same time. I am afraid that this is the only time in the history of Linzi City.However, although the county magistrates are in the academy, they are worried about the current situation and have no intention of being arty.

"During the Warring States period, the feudal lords separated their regimes, the world was in great chaos, and countries competed for the world's famous scholars. King Qi Wei was also new. He recruited famous scholars from all over the world with this school. Other countries snatched it away. But now it’s a good thing, it’s the same great strife and chaos, people like you and me who have read poetry and books have become pawns in the hands of warlords big and small. Ma, coaxing those poor locals all day long, and extorting military pay for the warlords. People are not old, people are not old!"

The person who spoke was tall and thin, and his blue robe seemed to be hanging on a shelf, which seemed extremely uncoordinated.These complaints resonated with the county magistrates present.

"What the county magistrate Wang said is really a true portrayal of us. I am afraid that being a cow and a horse is more comfortable than this county magistrate. Have you ever heard that the magistrate of Linzi County was suppressed by a local local villain surnamed Sun? For four or five years, he was a puppet for life. It wasn't until Chairman Wu of the provincial government came and subdued the Tuyou surnamed Sun with thunderous means, that the wind flourished. Seeing his complacent appearance the day before yesterday, how could he have imagined that this person would actually Forbearance has been a grandson for four or five years, it is not easy!"

Speaking of puppets, County Magistrate Wang looked sad for a while and didn't answer.On the other hand, another fat man smiled wryly and said: "I heard that Chairman Wu is also a person who is trying to make a difference. If he can overcome the two stubborn problems of the generals and the local evils, our brothers will be on the back foot, and it will be worthwhile to follow him."

"Hmph! Isn't his surname Wu a warlord? When you passed by the west of the city, you didn't see those soldiers armed to the teeth!"

A county magistrate disagreed, but the fat man argued strongly: "So what about the warlords, it's better than those little warlords who know how to squeeze our money."

"I'm afraid that the surname Wu called us here because of our money bag!"

At this time, the county magistrate Wang slowed down and dissuaded: "Not necessarily, we have to wait until the county magistrate meeting is over. It's too early to draw conclusions."

The county magistrates talked a lot, and everyone was full of bitterness. This time they came to Zizi and hoped for some changes, and the decision of Daocun County, where the county magistrate is directly under the provincial government, is an excellent signal.But there is still a feeling of uneasiness imprinted in everyone's hearts, but none of them said clearly, is Chairman Wu capable of defeating Han and Zhang in Shandong Province?

……

When the county magistrates poured out their bitterness and complained to each other, Zhu Wusheng received a report from the investigators secretly sent to Changle.The mysterious person who sold rice to Changhe was neither from the Sha family nor the Sun family in Changle County.There is indeed a person, but there are indications that this person is from Jiaodong.Sha Huaien did contribute to it, but what he did was to help buy moldy rice.But what is very strange is that the purchase price they learned is much higher than the selling price to Changhe.

From all these, the purpose of this person is obvious.Zhu Wusheng was shocked when he heard that the mysterious person came from Jiaodong. It seemed that the matter was far more complicated than he imagined. After collecting all kinds of information, he felt that this matter must be reported to Wu Xiaoliang for a decision.

After Wu Xiaoliang listened to Zhu Wusheng's report, he fell into deep thought. It seems that Zhang Zongchang is absolutely inseparable from this matter, but who can guarantee that this is not Han Fuju's act of blaming others?Since the establishment of the security brigade, he felt more and more that the pressure from several forces in the province was gradually increasing, and he continued to make small moves overtly and secretly.According to Wu Xiaoliang's original intention, he originally wanted to unite with Han and Zhang to squeeze the Japanese forces out of Shandong, but judging from the current situation, the contradictions are intensifying, and it seems that this road is gradually being blocked. There, I couldn't help but feel agitated.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang was silent, Zhu Wusheng thought that he was weighing in his heart and it was difficult to make a decision, so he suggested: "Based on what I saw, with the current strength of the provincial government, we should avoid a direct conflict with the Zhang family. Doing a thunderous strike will get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Major Zhu doesn't have to worry about it. No matter who is involved, no matter whether the surname is Zhang or Han, the moldy rice incident must be investigated to the end."

Just as Zhu Wusheng wanted to express his opinion, he was interrupted by Wu Xiaoliang waving his hand.

"I understand what you're thinking, but why don't those county magistrates be eager to see if I have the strength to secure the position of chairman of the provincial government before making a decision? So the county magistrates are not enough to rely on, they can only rely entirely on the provincial government itself Only by resolving disputes with overwhelming strength can they completely deter their speculative hearts."

Wu Xiaoliang paused, and said meaningfully: "Lin Shengna, our prospects seem to be broad, but in fact they are getting narrower and narrower, every step is late, every step is wrong, and we want to make a difference. Ambition, now is the time when we meet on a narrow road and the brave wins!"

Zhu Wusheng only felt that the blood was on his head, and his rationality told him that he should act steadily and step by step at this moment, but he couldn't help but stood up and cupped his hands and said solemnly:

"Chairman, but there is a drive, and Wu Sheng will not hesitate to die!"

Before the words were finished, the student soldiers' imposing slogans came from outside the board room, and Wu Xiaoliang was also agitated. Since he left the field ten years ago, he has made some gains in the ups and downs of the business world, but he always feels that something is missing.After coming back in May this year, he has been depressed and out of control.Until today, I have the feeling that the veins are in my hands.

On September 29th, the mysterious mildewed rice merchant was arrested and returned to Linzi by special detectives. The provincial government rarely issued an official document requesting the Jiaodong Association to investigate the moldy rice case. This is a strong signal that it is about to tear itself apart.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiaolai Road, controlled by Zhang Zongchang, has actively cooperated with the provincial government's previous decisions. It is tantamount to not playing the cards according to the routine, and exposing Zhang Dashuai's yin and yang sides.All the county magistrates stared wide-eyed, wanting to see how Chairman Wu of the provincial capital will end up.
