Then Xu Kuang told the two of them what he thought. He wanted to hear their ideas.
When Zhou Jin heard this, he just said:
"Thanks to the kindness of my lord, I am appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I am only responsible for the affairs of the army, and leave other matters to Zhengfang."
Zhuge Duan was stunned for a moment. He pointed helplessly at Zhou Jin and laughed, saying:
"Tzuyu, you...".
Zhuge Duan had no choice but to express his opinion.
"My lord, this plan must be effective. Although this plan is vicious, it is only for dealing with people like Zhao Ertu. We have to suffer the refugees on the east coast first."
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Zhuge:
"The west bank is all mountainous, with rugged mountain roads and inconvenient transportation. The east bank is mainly plains. Our future development focus must be on the east bank. After Zhao Ertu is taken down, you will personally go into battle. You must make the east bank
develop."
Zhuge Duan raised his glass and said to Xu Kuang:
"Please don't worry, my lord, Duan will die to his death."
Xu Kuang laughed loudly, and then said to Zhuge Duan:
"Drink, drink.".
…
Three days later, Xu Kuang announced the appointments of Zhao Ertu and Hei Huohua. After the refugees on the east coast learned about this, they all rushed to tell each other, wept with joy, and shouted long live Zhao Ertu.
Zhao Ertu looked at the refugees below and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Father, Father, what you didn't even risk your life to fight for is now easily in my hands."
When Xu Kuang saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneer.
…
Mogu Ridge Prison
Zhang Damiao and Chen Xiaohu stood side by side. They looked at York inside the cell door and smiled:
"You don't have to think too much. When you come out, the director of the Engineering Department will still be yours."
York smiled and said:
"You two, don't worry too much. I actually don't have any thoughts. I know that the young master locked me up to protect me. Don't worry, I will never think too much."
When they saw that York was fine, they put the food and wine they had brought at the door and turned to leave.
York couldn't help but get a headache when he looked at the food and wine laid out on the floor. They were all brought by different people. It was a question of which one he should eat or not...
Although it's just a matter of happiness.
There were footsteps again in the corridor, and after a while, Jenny came to York carrying a food box.
York looked at Jenny excitedly and said to Jenny:
"Jenny, I really thought you weren't coming...".
Jenny smiled bitterly:
"If I had known you had so much food, I wouldn't have taken the food."
York laughed and said:
"You really helped me. I didn't know what to eat before, but now that you are here, I know who to eat."
Jenny smiled.
Jenny looked at York and said to him:
"You have to think more about solutions to problems in the future. The young master will not always take action to protect you."
York nodded and asked:
"How is the young master doing now?".
"Don't worry, the young master has settled everything. Yang Dari's death has been classified as a death due to personal negligence, and the group of refugees has calmed down. Don't worry."
York was relieved.
"The young master said, if I lock you up for another half month, you can come out. After half a month, the existing projects on the west bank will gradually be completed, and you will start to be responsible for the projects on the east bank."
…
Jenny chatted with York for a while and then left the prison.
A figure broke out from the shadows and asked:
"how is he?".
Jenny smiled bitterly:
"Master, I really don't know what you're thinking. You're already here, so go in and see him."
Xu Kuang shook his head and just said to Jenny:
"The influence is not good."
Jenny nodded helplessly, and he said to Xu Kuang:
"I understand, then I will go back to the Commercial Department first."
Xu Kuang nodded and said to Jenny:
"I've calculated the time. This tobacco is almost mature. You send someone to urge it."
Jenny nodded, and he said to Xu Kuang:
"I will send someone.".
"Let's go.".
Jenny looked at Xu Kuang and felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, when she chatted with the young master, she only talked about family affairs. Now that Gladiolus City is developing faster and faster, the conversations between her and the young master are only about business matters.
While Jenny was in a daze, Xu Kuang had disappeared.
She shook her head with a wry smile and walked towards the Commerce Bureau.
…
It has been two months since Zhao Ertu took office. During these two months, he first cut the wages of the people on the east coast to just enough to survive, and then began to force the people to work endlessly, causing complaints.
During this period of time, countless people on the East Coast died suddenly while working.
But this is the case with this group of refugees. They dare to confront Xu Kuang because they know that Xu Kuang wants to keep them working, but they dare not confront Zhao Ertu because Zhao Ertu not only doesn’t care about their
Life or death, they are still their immediate superiors and can use their power to make things difficult for them.
One day, Xu Kuang announced that he was going to inspect a factory on the east coast and notified Zhao Ertu two days in advance.
Zhao Ertu hurriedly sent his own personal envelope, thinking that he had controlled all the uneasy factors.
But things were not as simple as he imagined. Xu Kuang came here just to borrow his head.
In the past two months, Xu Kuang lived in seclusion and spent all day in the laboratory studying cigarette making machines. The only way to care about the outside world was to constantly give Zhao Ertu awards. Gradually, Zhao Ertu was praised more and more by Xu Kuang.
I am so bold that I don’t need to report some matters to the headquarters and decide on my own.
This was exactly the effect Xu Kuang wanted. He promoted Zhao Ertu because he was afraid that he would not be able to kill this guy.
This time Xu Kuang came and specifically notified Zhao Ertu two days in advance in order to take the opportunity to investigate who was Zhao Ertu's crony.
Xu Kuang was reassured by Wang Xikui's work. The list of Zhao Ertu's cronies was already in Xu Kuang's hands.
But Zhao Ertu was still in the dark.
…
Zhao Ertu ordered the factory to stop working, and everyone came to welcome Xu Kuang's arrival. People were standing on both sides of the road, beating gongs, drums, playing and singing, but their tired faces were praising Xu Kuang's achievements.
There was even a red carpet on the floor.
Zhao Ertu understood very well that he could offend anyone, but he could not offend Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang's words and deeds could determine his life and death. If he offended Xu Kuang, he would die in peace.
Xu Kuang was walking on the red carpet, already thinking about how to kill Zhao Ertu. Looking at the exhaustion on the faces of the refugees, he couldn't bear it. He could be cruel to his enemies, but he was very cruel to his own people.
Still can't get angry.
Suddenly, in the welcoming team, a woman suddenly fell to the ground. The accompanying staff stepped forward to check and found that the woman was no longer breathing.
