To the west of Xinghua, they had to pass through some uninhabited areas. After that, they had to follow the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and head south to reach Guangling County…Compared to Xinghua County, the scale and liveliness of Guangling County was like heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all. The population of Guangling County was close to 1.5 million. They could still see some glory from its once prosperous history!!
Guangling City was different from other counties. There was definitely more profit here than in other counties. Otherwise, the 13th Northern Division would not have stationed their troops here. Today, a piece of news had spread like wildfire in Guangling County. The changes in Xinghua County had suddenly become the target of public criticism along with the bumper harvest of the fields!!
The county head of Guangling City, Zheng Zhitong, the head of the financial department of Guangling City, Zheng Zhichun, and the head of the office of Guangling City, Wu Tiancheng, were the three big shots of Guangling City. Zheng Zhitong and Zheng Chun were considered family, and because of Zheng Zhitong's relationship with the Qi family of Jinling, they were considered to have landed out of nowhere. However, Wu Tiancheng had been in Guangling City for so many years. If Zheng Zhitong bypassed Wu Tiancheng, it might not be possible!!
Therefore, the three of them were the ones who made the decisions!!
"What? Xinghua's wheat yield has really reached 600 catties per mu?？”
Zheng Zhitong's face was still filled with disbelief. One mu of land could produce 600 catties of wheat? How was this possible?
"Elder Zheng, if you don't believe me, you can go to Xinghua and investigate it yourself. Ever since that old bastard Shen Haoran committed suicide, Xinghua City's matters have nothing to do with us anymore.!”
Wu Tiancheng had always suggested that Zheng Zhitong should send someone to take over Xinghua City. Even if it was really impossible, he could ask for the help of the 13th Infantry Division. However, Zheng Zhitong had never taken it to heart. What could a county city do? In any case, they did not collect much tax from Xinghua City in the past. It would save them trouble. There were so many poor counties nearby. If Guangling were to help them, then Guangling would be useless!!
In addition, Wu Tiancheng also did not believe that a small county could produce such a huge amount of flowers. Damn it, it seemed a little too late to say anything now. What kind of concept was 600 catties of wheat per mu?
But now, he had a distant relative in Xinghua who had come to Guangling to visit his daughter these few days. He was not alone. In Guangling City, when they were having breakfast, all the tables were discussing Xinghua's bumper harvest this year.
"That's true. It's already spreading like wildfire outside. I heard that they used some kind of fertilizer to double the production. Also, this Xinghua City can't be underestimated. I heard that the Lin family is recruiting university students from all over the country to open a factory!!”
Zheng Zhichun also agreed with the different reactions from Xinghua. After Yuan Kai's death, the situation in Jiangnan Province had also become subtle. Should they continue to follow Beiyang or secretly contact the Southern Revolutionary Party? He did not know what the attitude of Qi Yuan was!
Now, Duan Rui and Feng Zhang were just short of fighting each other. Both of them were once important officials under Yuan Kai. Now that Old Yuan was dead, who could submit to whom? How could Duan Rui be the Prime Minister? It was said that the Military Governor had almost not returned from his trip to the capital. Jiangnan Province was one of the top provinces in the entire Dragon Country, especially the Jiangnan area. Its tax revenue was comparable to that of a country. The direction of Jiangnan Province was not something that Qi Yuan could decide alone!
"What do you mean now?"
Zheng Zhitong stared at Wu Tiancheng. If the Lin Family in Xinghua were to go out of control, then things would be difficult…
"Xinghua is now independent and autonomous. We can let Commander Qian's army send troops to wipe out those people. I heard that many factories have been built there. If we can occupy them, it will be a white ocean!!”
Greed filled Wu Tiancheng's heart. Wasn't Lin Hongyuan from the Lin family just a noob? He didn't even go to school for many days. In the past few months, he had heard Lin Hongyuan's name several times. The matter of Xinghua forming a business alliance, and the stinky beggar suddenly became a big boss…How could Wu Tiancheng accept this? He didn't pursue the reason for Shen Haoran's suicide. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that the Lin family had planned this all along…
"You said that the army went over and occupied Xinghua City?”
"County Head, this isn't an occupation, but a recovery. The Lin family is now inciting the people in Xinghua to rebel and establish an autonomous government. If Overseer Qi of Jinling knew about this, he would have sent troops to wipe out the Lin family!!”
Wu Tiancheng's eyes glinted coldly. The Lin Family's development seemed to have suddenly exploded. However, Wu Tiancheng didn't know the exact reason. He felt that the Lin Family was hiding some secret…Now, it seemed that the change in Xinghua was definitely due to the appearance of some extraordinary figure in the Lin Family. Some said that it was the young master of the Lin Family, and some even said that he had become the new leader of the militia…
