Chen Tianhua chose Changxing County for research.

Because Changxing is close to Hangzhou, it falls under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture.

Fengzhong Bank itself has a sales department in Wuxing, the capital city of Huzhou. This is the hometown of Chairman Chen Zongyu, and it does have many personal connections.

For example, if we set up a sales department in Changxing County next door, we can still respond to each other, which is a great layout strategy.

Therefore, the first stop he wanted to inspect was Changxing County in Huzhou Prefecture.

As the general manager, Chen Tianhua’s whereabouts at Fengzhong Bank are kept secret, and only his fiancée Li Shuzhen knows the general information.

Following instructions from his father-in-law Li Cunzhi, Chen Tianhua coaxed Li Shuzhen into Fengzhong Bank and asked her to work in a bank office.

Ever since the Yuanxiao Festival, when the two of them broke through the boundaries between men and women, their relationship has become very close, and they stick together like marshmallows whenever they have free time.

Li Shuzhen came to Fengzhong Bank just to see Chen Tianhua every day.

Who would have known that after the opening, Chen Tianhua almost never stayed in the office, either going downstairs to promote savings, or going deep into grassroots inspection outlets.

When I heard that I was leaving again this time, and it would be more than ten days, Li Shuzhen, who was in love, was of course reluctant to leave.

She scolded her first, probably saying:

"You are a big liar. You don't care about other people's feelings at all. You don't want to spend more time with your wife. Just two days after you came back from Shaoxing, you have to leave again."

Her pouted mouth is big enough to hang a small oil can.

Chen Tianhua could only coax and lie, call her dear a few more times, give her a few more sweet kisses, and prepare for a few more tender moments at night.

Seeing that Chen Tianhua was determined to leave, she knew that her husband took his career as his own responsibility, so she immediately became gentle again.

A woman like Li Shuzhen, who has an online IQ, knows how to measure herself very well.

The two spent the night together.

The next morning, before leaving, she hugged him tightly, kissed his cheek gently at the end, and said with some reluctance: "Hua Zhi, you must come back soon, I think of you every day."

"Yeah, I know, baby, I miss you every day too!"

"..."

…

Chen Tianhua took his personal attendant Zuo Gang and set off.

Zuo Gang was originally one of Li Cunzhi's bodyguards. He was from Anhui. He was loyal and reliable to the Li family and was assigned to Chen Tianhua as his personal attendant.

Changxing is not far from Hangzhou, about 200 miles away, and the land and water transportation is very smooth.

Because after going to the county seat, he had to go into the mountains to Meishan Town, so Chen Tianhua chose to ride a horse this time.

Changxing was called the Great Wall in ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, the King of Wu sent a general to build a city here for defense. It was named the Great Wall because of the narrow length of the city.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a founding king emerged from Changxing, King Chen Baxian of Wuxing, who later established his capital in Jianye and named his country Chen.

The county is surrounded by mountains and lakes, with complex terrain. The famous Taihu Lake passes through Changxing.

Therefore, Changxing County is not only famous for agricultural land, but also famous for tea. It is also rich in aquaculture, silk, silk, and minerals.

Within the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang, Changxing is a prosperous area around Taihu Lake, but the public security is a bit chaotic.

There are fisheries, silk, mines, various forces, and many gangs come to collect money, and the Hongmen Taihu Gang is one of them.

The key problem is that Changxing County is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces. If someone commits a crime here, he can quickly escape to the neighboring provinces, and the policemen cannot catch up with him.

It is said that gambling houses, brothels, and opium dens are all over the streets here.

Gang fights and killings on the streets happened almost every day, which gave the local government a headache.

Chen Tianhua and Zuo Gang set off in the morning, riding horses and running all the way from the post road to the city gate. It was already noon, so of course they had lunch first.

As soon as we entered the city, we saw the roadside lined with various food stalls.

"Young Master, let's just eat something here. Regular restaurants are probably very crowded at this time."

Young Master, this is the title agreed upon by the two of them.

I don't know what Zuo Gang was busy with in the morning. He ran away without even having time to eat breakfast. By now, his stomach was already full of empty city plans.

"That's okay."

Chen Tianhua felt that Zuo Gang was right, so he dismounted and handed the reins to Zuo Gang. He walked a few steps and sat down in front of a relatively clean wonton stall. He ordered two large bowls of wontons and added extra for each person.

Serve two meat buns.

The owner of this wonton stall was an old man over sixty years old. In no time, hot wontons and fragrant meat buns were served in front of them.

"Young master, you are here in Chang'an to visit Taihu Lake. The Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed a good time, but the public security in Changxing has not been very good in the past few years. You should be extra careful when going out."

The old man saw that Chen Tianhua and the others were a master and a servant, and it was rare to see someone riding a big horse in Changxing.

I also saw that Chen Tianhua, who was very young and well-mannered, probably a young master from a wealthy family, came to his stall to eat wonton buns. I was very moved and kindly reminded him.

He sat down next to the two of them. There were no other guests anyway. He chatted with Chen Tianhua in a kind tone, nagging and reminding him from time to time.

Although the old man's words were a bit verbose, they sounded very warm, which showed that he had a kind heart.

The wontons taste really good, especially the soup is very delicious, even better than the wontons sold in big restaurants.

Chen Tianhua definitely has a say in wontons. He likes to eat wontons.

Wonton, so unconsciously made some comments on the wonton, saying it was good.

"Young master, these wontons taste good, right? This soup is a secret recipe passed down from my family.

If you come here during breakfast time and want to eat my wontons, you may have to queue up!"

The old man's smile didn't sound like "the old lady is selling melons and bragging about herself", but rather he was very honest and down to earth.

Chen Tianhua believed that what the old man said might be true. There must be many people eating wontons in the morning, but few people from Jiangnan come to eat wontons at lunch, unless they are helpers who go out to work.

Zuo Gangba smacked his lips and kept nodding along with his master.

"I'm here to collect the protection fee. I've already prepared all the silver and gold for this month's protection fee."

Suddenly, five idle gangsters burst in from the entrance of the street.

The leader was a lean man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked to be in his twenties or early twenties, with a large patch of gray hair in the middle, so that there was a braid hanging on the back of his head.

They were in front of the snack stall, one by one collecting the protection money they were clamoring for.

In today's society in the late Qing Dynasty, it is common for gangs to collect so-called protection fees. However, they have come now and disturbed Chen Tianhua and the others' interest, causing a great disgrace to the scene.

"Master, don't look at it. They come here in the middle of every month to collect protection fees, otherwise we wouldn't be able to set up a stall here."

"The public security in Changxing is really bad now. You should eat quickly and leave immediately after eating. Remember, just don't meddle in other people's business here." The old man was nagging, but he kept reminding him kindly.

There need to be more kind-hearted and warm-hearted people in the world, that is the right way.

While the old man was talking, the five young men had already wandered to the wonton stall. The leader was a braided ghost who shouted: "Old man Ba, please pay five pieces of silver and come out!"
