Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 174

As the boat arrived at Jiangdu Wharf, Lin Hongfei took Wu Yongquan and others to the land of Jiangdu County.

Although Ren Anfu and the others had never seen the appearance of the new county magistrate, looking at Lin Hongfei, who was wearing a black suit and a top hat not far away, and the retinue behind him who was quite neatly dressed, even if they guessed, they could guess that they were all inseparable.

"That should be the new county magistrate!"

"It is indeed young enough, and the son who became the commander has a surplus!"

"The pomp is not small, and I also brought more than thirty entourage."

"Hey, the pig's nose is inserted in the onion pretending to be a look, you forgot that there was a county magistrate who was even more exaggerated before, spending money to hire more than 100 retinues."

"When I think of it, I couldn't pay my wages later, and there were only three or four people left in more than 100 people running overnight."

While laughing and saying some cheap words, the gentry walked towards Lin Hongfei and his group under the leadership of Ren Anfu.

Seeing that the two sides were about to meet twenty or thirty meters away, Lin Hongfei and his group suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Yongquan, who was next to Lin Hongfei, took out the letter of appointment from his briefcase and shouted at the person opposite:

"Letter of appointment!"

"Lin Hongfei is hereby appointed as the magistrate of Jiangdu County!"

"This state, Lingnan Province Overseer He Taikang!"

Hearing this, although Ren Anfu and the others were unimpressed with Lin Hongfei in their hearts, they still put on a respectful posture and bowed and saluted:

"Welcome the county elder!"

Lin Hongfei put on a polite gesture and said with a smile: "I am tired of everyone going out of the city to greet you, thank you!"

At this time, Ren Anfu came out and said enthusiastically: "County magistrate, Ren Anfu, commander of the militia group in Xiajiangdu County."

"I'll wait for the drunken fairy building in the city to set up a banquet, and I hope that the county elders will appreciate it!"

When Lin Hongfei heard this, he didn't refuse: "Okay, please also ask Commander Ren to lead the way!" Immediately

, everyone left the dock and rushed towards the county seat.

Zuixianlou, the best restaurant in Jiangdu County, is also Ren Anfu's private property.

Although the scale of the restaurant and the meals are not comparable to those restaurants in big cities, when Lin Hongfei tastes it, it is also a shot.

There is a banquet without wine, which is naturally unruly, not to mention that this kind of thing can quickly bring the relationship between two strangers closer.

As the wine passed three rounds, when everyone's faces turned red and their mouths smelled of alcohol, the atmosphere of the wine banquet became warm, and everyone's speech and behavior were no longer restrained.

At this time, Liang Wanyi, the eldest master of the Liang family in Jiangdu County, raised a glass to Lin Hongfei and said, "When the county magistrate was weak, he was in the high position of the county magistrate, what a young man!"

"I have a drink to the county magistrate!"

Lin Hongfei picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Liang Wanyi to drink, and the drink was in his stomach, and Lin Hongfei's drunkenness seemed to be heavier.

I saw Lin Hongfei loosen his tie, undid the top two buttons of his shirt, and then said unabashedly:

"Master Liang said that I am young and promising, I am really ashamed to be a talent!"

"Don't hide from you, Lin someone, the county magistrate, bought it!"

"To buy officials is to make money!"

"You are all figures with heads and faces in Jiangdu County, I wonder if you can introduce Lin to a profitable business?"

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, and a disdainful smile couldn't help but flash at the corner of their mouths.

Everyone knows that you bought officials to become county magistrates in order to make money and make money, but can this kind of thing be said?

If you see through it or say it is broken, you don't understand such a simple truth, but it's really too young!

For a while, everyone's eyes clearly showed a bit of contempt.

However, contempt is contempt, Lin Hongfei's frankness makes these people feel that dealing with him will be much easier in the future.

Unlike the previous county magistrates, the literati have a strong sour and rotten smell, obviously they are here to make money, but they have to pay attention to the right name.

And when they send money, they can't mention the word money, they feel that the word money is dirty and defiles their ears.

Trouble, true trouble.

It's not as happy as this Lin County Magistrate!

Therefore, everyone's attitude towards Lin Hongfei is both contemptuous and liked.

Despise Lin Hongfei's ignorance and like Lin Hongfei's frankness.

However, Ren Anfu still had some concerns, he had always been cautious and cunning, worried that this was a false impression put on by Lin Hongfei, so he did not speak, but signaled to Liang Wanyi with his eyes.

Liang Wanyi agreed, and immediately said with a smile: "County Chief Lin, there are more ways to make money."

"Growing big tobacco, selling tobacco, selling people, opening gambling houses, and so on."

"Moreover, the county magistrate can also increase taxes, before your predecessor left, but just twenty years later, he collected tens of thousands of oceans from Jiangdu County."

"You can..."

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Hongfei immediately scoffed: "Really stepping on the horse waste, only fifteen years after receiving it, this is only a few bucks!"

"If I collect taxes, I will receive it directly ninety years later, and I will finally become a county magistrate, and I won't take the opportunity to make more money!"

Although Liang Wanyi and the others were also well-informed, when they heard Lin Hongfei's words, they still showed an expression of 'you kid is ruthless'.

Ren Anfu on the side was silent, quietly observing Lin Hongfei's every move, as if he wanted to see what kind of doorway to come.

By the end of the banquet, Lin Hongfei was already drunk and unconscious, and he let a few of his subordinates carry him back to the county.

After Ren Anfu watched Lin Hongfei go away, he revealed a sneer: "It seems that he is indeed a greedy for money!"

"Then reward him more, so that he can also actively cooperate with us to scrape the oil and water of that group of poor devils!"

After hearing this, Liang Wanyi and the others nodded their heads and said yes.

At this time, in the county mansion, Lin Hongfei's subordinates carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no problem before returning to Wu Yongquan.

Wu Yongquan walked into the house, at this time, Lin Hongfei was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and now he still had the drunken state just now.

"You can drink as much as you want!" Wu Yongquan quipped.

Lin Hongfei smiled: "It's not so easy to fill me too much, my wine in recent years has not been drunk in vain."

"What's next?" Wu Yongquan sat down in the chair next to him and asked.

"Two sentences!"

"Know yourself and know your opponent, win a hundred battles."

"Unite all forces that can be united!"

Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei looked at Wu Yongquan and said, "At today's wine banquet, Liang Wanyi once mentioned a person named Bai Wenju.

"This person is the eldest young master of the Bai family in Jiangdu County, and he took the initiative to destroy the Bai family's 500 acres of poppy corn field some time ago."

"I see this person can find out."

"In addition, you send someone to contact Huo Yunshan again and ask him if he knows about this Bai Family Young Master."

"If this person can be used by us, it will be great!"
