At the end of December 1916, because the Lunar New Year was different from the Christian New Year, the traditional Chinese New Year would be a few days later.
However, in Qu Zhou City, the festive atmosphere was getting more and more intense. Some villagers from the countryside went into the city to buy some daily necessities and cut some meat.
There were many people gathered at a meat stall. Chu Tianyun was going to Jinhua City today to pay off Old Master Lin's debt, so he left the manor early in the morning.
"The brigade commander of the Renaissance Army mixed brigade said that as long as one is over seventy years old in the nearby villages, they can get a pound of pork for free.”
"Is that true?"
The butcher used a butcher knife to cut off a rib bone, and his voice was very loud.
"This matter is absolutely true. Brigade Commander Chu is doing this to thank the villagers for their love. If it weren't for the support of the villagers, he wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Quzhou City so quickly!”
After that, the crowd became restless. Some of the older people even trembled. They had never experienced such a great thing before.
"I'm really impressed by Brigade Commander Chu's generosity. In the future, I will definitely let my grandson join Brigade Commander Chu's army. No one in Quzhou City will treat us better than Brigade Commander Chu!”
Everyone agreed with the old man's words." Isn't Brigade Commander Chu building factories and industries? Let's help him. Let's help him build Quzhou City better and more stable. That way, no one can bully them!"
Indeed, there were too many exorbitant taxes these days, making it difficult for the common people to breathe. However, after the establishment of the Quzhou autonomous union, Chu Tianyun exempted 30 taxes, large and small.
"Yes, Old Master Li is right. We are farmers. We speak our minds. If Brigade Commander Chu needs me in the future, I, Wang Dalei, will be the first to join!”
Chu Tianyun, on the other hand, was also smiling to himself. Every class had their own needs, just like the M Nation. They had to ensure the interests of the upper echelons, while China now had to maintain the interests of the bureaucrats and some big capitalists.
However, Chu Tianyun had to protect the interests of the majority of the farmers in China. As a 21st century youth, he was fully aware of how terrifying the power of the masses was. However, the people of this era did not know that when a single spark could start a prairie fire, it would be the time for Chu Tianyun to rise completely.
This country owed them a lot.
"Brigade Commander, the villagers support the Renaissance Army. The expansion of the Renaissance Army will definitely be smooth!”
The guard beside him was Chu Tianyun's personal bodyguard.
It was imperative to expand the army. Even four infantry regiments would not be enough to satisfy Chu Tianyun. Within the territory of Quzhou, there must be at least two to three infantry divisions as a defensive force to ensure their safety in the future!
After getting on the horse, the two of them headed east.
"Brigadier General, Lu Yongxiang's 2nd Regiment took down Xin 'an River in less than a week. The original 11th Regiment's 1st Brigade Commander, Wang Hao, even led his troops to surrender. However, Lu Yongxiang couldn't stand it and directly shot Wang Hao to death!”
"As for Lu Yongxiang, let's not make a move on Quzhou first. If he has any orders, let's just pretend to be careless with him. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. We can't let his Zhejiang troops directly attack our Quzhou. If Lu Yongxiang really has such a heart, Zhejiang would have long become his territory!”
Along the way, Chu Tianyun was planning how to develop Quzhou in the future and how to negotiate with the surrounding forces.
Fang Ren from Jiangxi, Long Jiguang from Guangdong, and Lu Yongxiang!
However, the first two did not pose much of a threat to Chu Tianyun's base in Quzhou. As long as Lu Yongxiang did not provoke him, Quzhou would be safe.
In advance, Lin Changmin had already told Chu Tianyun that his daughter had returned today. Chu Tianyun finally understood what Old Master Lin meant. It turned out that Old Master Lin wanted him to be his son-in-law.
He went to school in Shanghai. His father was a businessman. His surname was Lin!!!
Chu Tianyun had already thought of someone. That talented woman was also one of the four beauties of the Republic of China.
However, he did not know if it was her in this parallel universe.
Jinhua City, Lin Mansion!
When Chu Tianyun visited Lin Changmin, he realized that the latter had been smiling the whole time. That feeling made Chu Tianyun panic!
I'm afraid tonight's dinner won't be very delicious!
Chu Tianyun was wearing a dark gray coat and a pair of trimmed boots, which made Lin Changmin feel even more satisfied.
"Tianyun, you brat, you even lied to me?？”
"One regiment actually turned into three regiments. Your factory must have made a lot of money?”
Chu Tianyun heard this in his heart. A favor was a favor, and business was business. Chu Tianyun was naturally shrewd.
"Boss Lin, you flatter me. It's just that I'm frugal and coincidentally met with Boss Lin's help. That's why I was lucky enough to conquer Quzhou!”
"Tianyun, your mouth is really getting more and more amazing. Let's go. Today, my Lin Manor has set up a banquet for you!”
"That brat is more than willing to obey!"
In the Lin family mansion, the dishes were sumptuous. Plate after plate of Zhejiang cuisine were served on the table.
Chu Tianyun thought to himself,'It can't be just me and Lin Changmin for this meal.'
Indeed, Lin Changmin instructed his servant.
"Go and invite Miss over for dinner!"
"Tianyun, my daughter doesn't want to go home anymore after she went to the girls 'high school. If she hadn't lied that I was sick this time, I don't know when she would come home for the New Year!”
Chu Tianyun was even more terrified. Was Old Master Lin really going to be a matchmaker for him?
In her previous life, she was forced to go on a blind date. She did not expect that it would be another blind date in disguise.
However, when he thought of Lin Huiyin, Chu Tianyun was also a little curious. He also wanted to see what Lin Huiyin looked like.
