Chapter 262 Light and Darkness
Zhang Mazi had previously analyzed the reason why Xia Ping went up the mountain with everyone, and had some guesses about Xia Ping's purpose. Now that Xia Ping revealed his purpose without concealment, Zhang Mazi was still surprised.
Some of the gangsters thought of the purpose Xia Ping mentioned, but some did not.
So they want to believe that Xia Ping's words are true and credible.
"Brother Xia, what should we do next?" Everyone looked at Xia Ping to see what he could say."
"You have to walk your own way. I just give you a suggestion.
First, nothing will change for you, just live like this, and we will deal with everything in the original way.
Second, you will no longer rob, but preserve the current village and be responsible for picking and planting medicinal materials on the mountain. There is also a breeding industry. In addition, the security of Huangmu Mountain is contracted to you. The income from these alone is much more than what you occupy the mountain.
Third, join the security team, become a member of the security team, and set up a security team that is mainly managed by yourself. All supplies will be arranged by the security team.
These are just my own thoughts. If you have other ideas, you can put them forward for discussion.
There are so many choices, no matter which choice is better than nothing.
The gangsters were in a tangle, fighting over which method to adopt.
But no one wants to stay the same.
This was not something that could be decided in a day or two. Xia Ping was taken to experience wild boar hunting, and then went to Malie to visit Liu Anzhai.
Malie is located in the southwest of Huangmu, and the altitude has dropped a bit, so corn and other crops can be grown.
Zhang Mazi and Liu Anzhai had been enemies several times before, and neither could do anything to the other. Now that Xia Ping was going to see Liu Anzhai, Zhang Mazi sent Qiao Yiming and the Three Wolves to see if they could repair the relationship.
Liu Anzhai got the news only after Xia Ping had entered the Ma Lie Field. He quickly put down what he was doing and walked out of the gate. Who was it but Xia Ping who was looking at him with a smile at the door?
Liu Anzhai went up and punched Xia Ping in the chest: "You kid didn't even say hello when you came up the mountain. If you don't treat me well, you don't know how you will be scolded by your godfather."
Qiao Yiming and Sanlang were surprised. They dared to call Xia Ping boy. That was not an ordinary relationship.
It is indeed unusual. Mr. Zhang has long regarded Xia Ping as his son, and Xia Ping also regards Mr. Zhang as a relative.
But in order to facilitate the work, Xia Ping could not send a letter (recognize his godfather) to Mr. Zhang.
Although they did not send him a letter, the Zhang family had long regarded Xia Ping as a family member. Similarly, Liu Anzhai also regarded Xia Ping as a family member, so he affectionately called him "boy".
Xia Ping hurriedly introduced: "This is my godbrother Liu Anzhai." Then he pointed to the other side, "This is my good brother Qiao Yiming, Sanlang."
"Qiao Yiming," Liu Anzhai looked at the other person's appearance and temperament, "could it be Qiao Jiu Ming?"
After getting the affirmative answer, he ignored Qiao Yiming and said to Xia Ping directly: "Brother, they are bandits, why are you wrapped up with them?"
Xia Ping said with a smile: "If you want peace in Huangmu, you have to get together with them, and you didn't know these brothers before." He pointed at the three wolves: "He had a fight with Yang Erniang's people a few days ago. What do you think?
Such a person is not worth covering up."
Liu Anzhai also asked the reason, and the three wolves briefly introduced it. Liu Anzhai said: "This is what a man does." He hurriedly welcomed everyone into the main room, sat down on the Grand Master's chair, put the tea on the table, and asked the butler to accompany Qiao Yiming first, while he took the food himself.
Take Xia Ping to the backyard to meet his family.
Before he even entered the backyard, he yelled in a loud voice like a chicken: "Mom, come out quickly, my brother Xia Ping is here, come out and accept your marriage."
"Suddenly", several women rushed out from the side rooms of the main house, as well as some half-grown children of both sexes.
"Everyone, look out. This is my brother Xia Ping. He is a scholar. He didn't even go to the county school to invite him. He is a man with a university education. I will give him the baby's study in the next day. If the baby can't study, I will find him.
."
Liu Anzhai has four wives and five or six children, big and small. Under the introduction of Liu Anzhai, he met several of his wives.
"Master, my brother hasn't gotten married yet! You've seen my cousin. She's handsome. She's just right for a brother."
Liu Anzhai slapped his thigh: "That's right. How come I forgot about this? Brother, you are a person who does big things, so you don't have to worry about anything. I will marry this housewife for you."
Xia Ping became anxious when he saw that they didn't look like they were joking: "What kind of trap does this make? Don't mess around."
Liu Anzhai patted Xia Ping on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm a mess, but I've never done anything harmful." He changed the topic: "What's going on with Zhang Mazi and the others?"
Xia Ping told the story of the cause, the strategy of Renyi Society, and the benefits of peace in Huangmu to everyone. Although there had been several fights in the past, and more than ten people were killed and injured on both sides, now we need to put aside the past grudges.
After fighting with Zhang Mazi for several years, Liu Anzhai had not yet turned around. With Xia Ping's explanation of facts and reasoning, he also understood what Xia Ping did.
"Brother, no matter what you do, you have to look forward. The people who died are already dead. Many people have died in Zhang Ma. If everyone holds grudges like this, and if you two still fight to the death, everyone will be angry.
To put it simply, make money. As long as the two of you reconcile, I can guarantee that the stocks in your hands will double immediately.
When he heard about money, Liu Anzhai became more shrewd and energetic again.
"Isn't it just to make a profit? As soon as the news of the reconciliation between our two families came out, the stock price of my godfather's family soared, and the medicinal materials all over the mountains and plains were not profitable.
These words reminded Xia Ping, "How about you jointly set up a branch company and make medicines on the mountain, which can save a lot of costs."
The more they talked, the more interesting it became, and Liu Anzhai's hatred for Zhang Mazi faded away, so Xia Ping took the opportunity to encourage him.
Brother, I think we should go in large numbers and go visit Zhang Mazi in person. Before the hatred ends, you must first get to know the former enemy.
This step was getting farther and farther, but reconciling with Zhang Mazi would be of great benefit to both parties. In addition, it was Xia Ping and his godfather's wish, so he agreed.
Mr. Zhang once told Xia Ping: "Don't be fooled by Liu Anzhai's rough and arrogant appearance. Underneath the rough and arrogant appearance, there is a delicate heart."
He is responsible, courageous and principled, and he is also willing to compromise. Now that he has compromised under Xia Ping's dissuasion, the next dinner will be much better.
After a while, Liu Anzhai and Qiao Yiming became brothers. The three of them were secretly protecting Xia Ping and did not persuade Xia Ping to drink. Xia Ping only expressed it slightly.
After eating enough, everyone went to visit Liu Anzhai's mine. Everyone watched and chatted.
"The mines in the Imperial Wood are no worse than this. You can also mine them like here, and the timber in the Imperial Wood is also very useful.
"I'm afraid the wood won't work, right? How can such thick wood be transported down the mountain?"
"Who said it had to be transported down the mountain? We made the furniture on the mountain and assembled it when we went back."
