Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(I will write slower in the future, otherwise I won’t have time to watch my beloved female anchor.)

Li Zihang and his group were on their way back and were not in a hurry, so they did not return along the same route.

Instead, I took a train from Jiangnan to Huizhou, then went north through the Qilu region and then to Tianjin.

The old man had already planned the route. He first went to Huizhou to deal with the affairs of the seven tea gardens, and then went to the four provinces of Shanhe to deal with the affairs of the Chinese herbal medicine factory, the timber factory, the lacquer factory, and the public-private partnership of the winery.

It was a half-work, half-travel state along the way.

This also made everyone appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of China. Several people also experienced the sufferings of the world.

Along the way, you will see the misty tenderness of Jiangnan. The thousands of acres of tea mountains in Huizhou Tea Garden are full of green, with layer upon layer of green steps like an emerald jade belt.

I saw the beautiful scenery of the sea of ​​clouds in Huangshan, Huizhou. The sea of ​​clouds is as beautiful as a poem or a painting. In the sea of ​​clouds, there are lush vegetation and overlapping mountains. Visitors walking through it seem to be isolated from the world, and all worries disappear.

He even stayed for two days, climbed Mount Huangshan and took photos.

We stayed in Yunmengze for a few more days and witnessed the unique beautiful scenery of the steam rising from Yunmengze and the waves shaking Yueyang City.

Compared with later times, the current Yueyang Tower is somewhat quaint and dilapidated. But it has more ancient charm. Experience the life of fishermen again, with their black-sailed boats rippling in the lake, accompanied by ospreys, working at sunrise and returning at sunset.

Afterwards, they worshipped the Lord of Mount Tai and capped the summit of Mount Tai.

When they came to Jinmen again, they were still waiting for the people from Shan to come and pick them up. They left in a hurry. When they returned, the old man's words implied that he wanted to settle accounts with some people.

But these have nothing to do with Li Zihang. The only thing he feels these days is that his appetite has become bigger and his strength is getting stronger day by day. When he is at full speed, he is as fast as a cheetah hunting.

Their reaction speed is like that of a civet cat or a war snake, and they can react immediately to the slightest changes.

The most direct experience was when he was climbing Mount Tai again, and a macaque tried to snatch the item from his hand with lightning speed. But just when the macaque stood up and jumped, Li Zihang turned around and dodged. The monkey's snatching momentum, which was difficult for ordinary people to react to, seemed to him like a movie slowed down several times.

In the past, I would be exhausted after training in the mountains for half a day. But now I can climb the top of Taishan Mountain and Yishan Mountain in one go without even taking a breath.

Li Xianju, the seventh generation tiger vein that taught him and his grandfather, explained the origins of the story to him one by one.

In a word, it was all thanks to the power of his bloodline. These were just a small matter. He would get used to it slowly in the future.

In a large western-style conference room, the old man, dressed like an old man from the Republic of China period, sat at the head of the rectangular conference table, turning a walnut with his left hand and tapping the table with his right hand intentionally or unintentionally.

The thirty or so people below were waiting in silence for the old man to speak.

The old man said to Shouheng next to him expressionlessly, "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"

Shouheng sat in a wheelchair, looked at his watch and replied, "Master, there are still five people who haven't arrived. The time is up."

The old man said in a dignified manner: "No one is coming. Tell the guard at the door."

Then Shouheng waved to the guard and gave him a few instructions, and then the old man officially began to speak.

Although the people sitting below showed no emotion on their faces, those who felt guilty had already begun to feel nervous.

"Due to formalities, I have let you manage your shops for the past six years. But some people are greedy and never stop."

"No matter if it's theirs or not, they just put it in their own pockets. Some people just follow orders but not announcements. They really think they are big shots."

"Some people think that the public and private sectors are now merged. All my property has been confiscated. I am dispensable. I am doing disloyal and unjust things openly or secretly."

"Well, since you all think you have grown strong, let's settle the accounts."

"Shou Shan, distribute these documents to everyone present."

Shoushan stood aside and distributed the folders with names on them on the table one by one in order.

21 folders were all sent out in less than 2 minutes.

Then everyone took the folders and started flipping through them.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the conference room except the sound of flipping papers.

In addition to the six elderly people who welcomed the old man last time, there were also two middle-aged men who did not get the documents.

The people who received the documents looked at what they had done in the past few years. Some of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads unconsciously, while others had dull eyes and mechanically flipped through the documents. Some even collapsed in their seats.

Only a few people looked at the documents in their hands with ecstasy and excitement.

The old man took in all the expressions on everyone's face, and a sneer unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a cup of tea, everyone came to their senses after reading the document.

One of them fell to his knees, kowtowed to the old man, and admitted his mistake while kowtowing.

"Master, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. For my father's sake, I will serve you for my whole life. Please let me go this time. I promise that I will never dare to do anything to let you down again."

The old man felt a little sorry when he saw the middle-aged man with a broken head.

"Zhenzi, I have watched you grow up. Your father has worked diligently for me all his life, but how could you be so obsessed with money?"

"But fortunately, although you are a little greedy, at least you didn't do anything that would anger God and people. For the sake of your deceased father, I will forgive you this time."

"Remember, give me all the things that don't belong to you. Be a rich man at home and live the rest of your life honestly."

"Get up! Clean the blood off the ground before you leave."

The man called Zhenzi knelt on the ground and heard the old man say that he would spare him. He kowtowed again in ecstasy. He quickly took off his high-end suit jacket and wiped the blood on the ground.

After mopping the floor, he bowed to the old man again. He walked out of the meeting room briskly, regardless of the blood flowing down his face.

When the rest of the people saw this scene, seven of them knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, begging for mercy.

The old man saw that those kneeling on the ground were his former servants of two or three generations.

They treated them all equally, asked them to hand over the money they had embezzled and then let them go.

But there was one person who still made him kneel on the ground and ignored him.

"Yang Wu, logically I should treat you equally, but look at what you have done. Is there anything that a human can do?"

"You took bribes, abused your power for personal gain, and used my name to cheat people. If it were these, I could still let you go. But for what happened next, I think you deserve to die."

"You opened an underground casino and forced women into prostitution. You also set traps for people, forcing them to lose their families and sell their children. You even took five concubines. Two of them were coerced and induced. You are good, you are really good."

"I, your master, only have one wife. But you have 6 wives."

"New China. What you did is no different from the evil landlords and rich people in the old society."

"You are a talented guy. You were able to clean up the mess without being liquidated by the government. But the most damning thing you did was to clean up these things in my name."

"You think you did it perfectly? If it weren't for the plaques and medals hanging on my door, you would have survived until now."

"Good fellow, I haven't used that kindness myself, but a servant like you has used it to bully others."

"Don't say that I am ruthless. Considering that your ancestors have served my Li family for three generations, go to the government office and confess the good things you have done."

"I'll give you another chance. I won't let you spit out the money you embezzled. Leave it to your family. Then go back and arrange your funeral. I don't need to teach you the rest."

The man kneeling on the ground looked pale and lifeless as he stared at the old man.

Then he kowtowed to the old man, stood up and left without saying a word.

In a short while, one third of the people in the meeting room of No. 30 left.

The old man's few words made them accept the arrangement obediently.

It's not that they didn't dare to resist. Those people were servants of the Li family, and some of them had even been selling themselves to the Li family as servants since their grandfathers' generation.

In their generation, the old man trusted them even more and gave them the power to manage shops and factories of all sizes. However, what they got in return was abuse of power for personal gain and corruption.

First, they are in the wrong.

Second, in some cases, as long as the old man lets them off, at most they will lose the money they embezzled, and they will still live a rich life for the rest of their lives.

Third, if they dared not to obey, the old man would make the matter public and handle it impartially. They would have no other options except to spend the rest of their lives in prison and have their property confiscated. They could not even run away.

Originally, the family lived a rich life, but they were lazy and didn't know how to grow crops. If they lost their money, they would fall from heaven to hell. The hardships in life would torture them to death.

Another point is that they are all servants of the Li family. They know the old man's methods very well. Under the old man's tyranny for half a century, how dare they have the slightest thought of resistance?

If the old man handled their case impartially, not only would they go to jail and have their property confiscated, but without his protection, anyone they had offended in the past would kill their entire family.

Now they only lost some money, and the old man was lenient with them. Of course, they were ecstatic and felt that they had escaped a disaster.

The most serious case, although he confessed to the government, would eat peanuts. But if one person died, the whole family could sit back and relax and continue to live a rich life. Why not?

The remaining people in the conference room either have a clear conscience or are talents that the old man recruited from society with high salaries.

They were not servants of the Li family, they had their own backbone and pride, and they were unwilling to kneel down and kowtow to admit their mistakes and beg for forgiveness.

When they walked out of this door, they were all well-known figures in society. Some of them were celebrities themselves, and were guests of honor of various high-ranking officials and celebrities.

So even if they know what they are facing next, they still won't do it, they will kneel down and beg for mercy, just like a domestic dog wagging its tail for survival.
