I really don't want to be a warlord

Hearing this, Zhao Hengti and others were immediately shocked.

Tens of millions of dollars in the ocean, just say you don’t want it?

This kind of heroism and grandeur instantly impressed everyone.

Only then did everyone realize that they really were not short of money.

In a simple meeting, Shen Hao's demeanor shocked everyone.

It will take a few days for everyone to accept Hubei Province.

Shen Hao and others drove to Wuchang (Han) City. Along the way, there were banners and flags saying welcome to Governor Shen.

People on both sides of the road all lined up to welcome him.

For them, Wang Zhanyuan was a nightmare. Now that they finally had a reliable governor, they were extremely happy.

Ah Wei laughed at the side and said:"Governor, do you see? You are what everyone expects you to do, and you are doing harm to the people. This is a great merit."

Wu Juren said:"Yes, you should be here for such an angry beast like Wang Zhanyuan." Clean it up, we can be regarded as a righteous and mighty teacher, doing justice for heaven, or Governor Shen, you are the one who is highly virtuous and respected."

"That's right, it's what everyone expects. Without you, they are still living in a nightmare."

Ah Wei and Wu Juren flattered each other, which made Shen Hao feel comfortable. As a winner, he must have such people around him.

Otherwise, bragging about yourself would be so low. Who doesn't have a little vanity? Really.

Soon, Zhao Hengti escorted a dozen crying and voluptuous women and asked them to kneel in front of Shen Hao.

"Governor, these are Wang Zhanyuan's women. What do you think we should do with them? Should we kill them all?"

As soon as these words came out, these women looked at Shen Hao with fear and cried even louder.

‘Woo woo··’

"Governor, please spare us, spare us."

"We are just a prostitute, and we don’t know anything about Wang Zhanyuan’s affairs."

"We are also victims, we were all snatched back by him. Please Governor, please let us live."

The girls were crying like pear blossoms and raining rain. They were so sad that they seemed to be really going to die in the next second.

This crying made Shen Hao very upset. He frowned and said impatiently:"

These women If there are no serious crimes, let them go and go back to their homes. If they do the most serious crimes, kill them."

"It's the Governor"

"Thank you Governor, thank you Governor for not killing me."

Wang Zhanyuan's concubines immediately knelt down and kowtowed, bursting into tears of gratitude.

It must be said that these concubines of Wang Zhanyuan were all as beautiful as flowers, one of a hundred.

Especially when they cried like this, they felt a lot more. She clearly smells like a pretty widow.

After a day of sorting out, all of Wang Zhanyuan's property was sorted out.

Just the gold and some jade antiques were worth 16 million yuan. There were properties in Kyoto, Shanghai and other places. There are more than 1,000 real estate shops, and there are more than 2,000 real estate properties in Hubei Province. Such a large amount of real estate is really shocking.

Everyone looked at Shen Hao eagerly, waiting for Shen Hao's handling. After all, such a huge amount is not worth mentioning. How is it possible to be tempted?

"First, sort out all the properties that Wang Zhanyuan has embezzled from others over the years. After registering them, return them all. As for the dead ones, forget about it and burn more paper," Shen Hao said;

"It's the Governor"

"The governor is really benevolent and righteous." The martial arts test is humane;

""Master Qingtian," Ah Wei said with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Weiguo also cleared out the troops.

"Reporting to the Governor, all the heavy smokers and older people were also cleared out.

There are a total of 45,000 troops, and there are still 35,000 troops left."

Shen Hao nodded with satisfaction,"It's okay, better than I expected. As for those retired veterans, none of them committed crimes, they all went to work as local police professionally. They use their remaining heat"

""It's the governor."

At this time, Zhao Hengti hesitated for a moment and then said what he had already done in his heart.

"Governor, this bastard Wang Zhanyuan, in order to make a fortune, let all the people and gentry in the province grow tobacco. At present, there are no people growing food in many places. Do you want to do it?··"

After saying this, Zhao Hengti was also a little worried, but Shen Hao disagreed.

Yuan Datou was very strict in banning smoking before. He once issued harsh measures."One of the Ying Bian entered people's houses to eat opium, and Yuan (Da Tou) insisted on killing them. Zhu Bian harassed more than 500 people, claiming that they were addicted. They went on strike and were about to see Yuan." (Big Head)"

Yuan not only executed the opium-smoking soldiers, but also used sophisticated methods to kill those"addicts" who wanted to hold him hostage, scaring five hundred"addicts" into fleeing.

Therefore, the tobacco market is very hot and supply exceeds demand.

In order to maintain their separatist status, warlords in various places must raise and expand their troops. Huge military expenditures often make the finances in their jurisdictions unable to make ends meet.

Now that Yuan Datou is dead, the warlord is like a new daughter-in-law. There is no mother-in-law to control him, and he becomes unbridled.

No one banned smoking. In order to raise military pay, warlords in various provinces asked farmers to grow tobacco. Some even issued laws to allow tobacco cultivation.

In addition to levying more than a dozen miscellaneous taxes such as tobacco seedling tax, shipping tax, and stamp tax, the Sichuan warlords also invented the so-called"lazy tax" to punish those who did not grow opium due to"laziness."

It stipulates that"if farmers grow grain instead of tobacco, they will have to pay three years of taxes for one year of growing grain, but they will only have to pay one year of tax for this year... In the year after next, if they no longer grow tobacco but still grow grain, they will have to pay taxes for three years." This year, seven years of taxes should be paid."

Zhao Hengti was very shameful about poppy cultivation, so no matter what Shen Hao thought, he would raise it.

What's more, he discovered that Shen Hao would fire all soldiers who smoked, which gave him the courage to speak out.

Shen Hao said:"I deeply hate the cultivation of opium poppies. Send me an order.""

"It's the governor." Everyone straightened their bodies, and Zhao Hengti was overjoyed.

"All opium poppies grown in the province will be destroyed, and all large tobacco pipes will be destroyed. No matter who it is, whoever is involved will be arrested."

""It's the governor."

As Shen Hao's first order when he settled in Hubei Province, no one dared to disobey it.

After the order, the whole province was in a state of panic. The resistance encountered was unprecedentedly fierce, especially from the local gentry.

Wuchang (Han) City District, a luxurious tobacco shop was crowded with guests.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed in and smashed the store.

When the boss saw this, he walked out with a black face:"You are blind, don't you?" Look who drove this.

The leader was Gou Li, who sneered:"Who drove it?""

"This was opened by Chief Du Li, the garrison envoy. My Chief Du follows Governor Shen.

You and the others are from that army, are you blind?"

‘The name of the garrison historian (provincial military division) was established during the reign of the Beiyang warlords. He was the local military chief and the army under his jurisdiction had a mixed brigade or a division. Gou Li snorted coldly,"Smash it for me. I want to see him. Do you dare to care about Du Li?""

"No, you can't smash it, be careful I'll kill you, I'm Du Li's brother-in-law." As he said that, the boss of the big pipe took out a pistol and pointed it at Gou Li.

Gou Li's eyes turned cold and he ordered:"Dare you resist? Kill without mercy"

"It's the division commander."

Kaka!

All the AKs are loaded. The boss turned pale with fright.

"How dare you? I'm Du Li's brother-in-law"

"Master Gou, wait, don’t shoot, keep someone behind the gun."
