After hearing this, Zhao Zhenzhong also praised: "Brother Sui's move is indeed worthy of praise, and it is also a good story." Then, he asked: "You came forward to handle the funeral for Hu Xinzhi, and that Chief Zhang did not make things difficult for you?"

"I'm not embarrassed. Instead, I learned from the confidant Zhang's confidant that he praised me for being loyal and righteous." Sui Shiqing said with a strange expression.

Zhao Zhenzhong was also stunned, but when he thought that Zhang Zongchang was born in a turbulent family and was full of banditry, he felt relieved.

"What does Brother Sui think of this supervisor as a person?"

Sui Shiqing pondered for a while and said, "It's not easy to say anything else now, but judging from his actions since he took office as the supervisor since late April and became the governor in July, I think this supervisor is really a rude person, and he is both greedy and ruthless."

Zhang Zongchang served as the military supervisor of Shandong Province on April 24 this year. The things he did since serving as the governor on July 8 really disappointed Shandong's fellow villagers. Tianakayu and Zheng Shiqi, who were in front of Zhang Zongchang, were both from other provinces. During his time in Shandong, he could be said to be a hero. I heard that Zhang Zongchang, a native of the province, was going to rule in Shandong. Many gentry thought that Zhang Zongchang would consider some local friendship and would have a better life in the future. Unexpectedly, he got a worse result than before.

In July when he became the governor, Zhang Zongchang showed his extraordinary skills in making money, which shocked the Shandong people who were full of fantasy about him.

On July 15, when he had just become the governor for a week, Zhang Zongchang ordered the collection of special military aftermath donations. Each land was 1 tael of silver, and 2.2 yuan was added to silver; 1 stone of grain per grain, 6 yuan was added to silver. At the end of the year, a total of 20 million yuan was levy.

In July, Zhang Zongchang ordered a salt tax to be imposed by food households, and stipulated that a 2.5 yuan levy of oceans was levied for each pack (400 kilograms of salt). The province alone was levied for about 2 million yuan in the oceans per pack (400 kilograms).

In July, Zhang Zongchang established the Shandong Fisheries and Navigation Bureau in Jinan, and established more than 10 bureaus in Qingdao, Longkou and other places to collect fishery tax from fishermen.

In July, Zhang Zongchang removed the position of Supervisor of Jiaoao Commercial Port, Wen Shude, commander of the Bohai Fleet. He then ignored the orders of the Beijing Central Government and changed the "Jiaoao Commercial Port Supervision Office" that was originally directly under the central government to the "Jiaoao Commercial Port Bureau" and turned it into the jurisdiction of the Shandong Supervisor Office. He appointed Zhao Qi, a fellow villager in Ye County, as the "General Office". After Zhao Qi came to power, he followed Zhang Zongchang's will and made great profits. In less than a month, he carried out a series of measures such as forced public debt sales, military license tickets, and cutting education funds, which made the people complain.

After talking about Zhang Zongchang’s outrageous measures, Sui Shiqing couldn’t help but sigh and asked, “Little brother, when do you think this kind of day will end? How long will this great man Zhang have to struggle?"

"I can't say this. However, seeing that he has implemented these measures to plunder people's wealth as soon as he became the governor, I'm afraid such measures will not be missing in the future. Moreover, now the Fengtian clan is dominant, Wu Peifu is still seeking a comeback, and the Southern Sun Party is not calm. I guess this Chief Zhang can still make trouble in Shandong for three or five years."

"However, Brother Sui, we must keep a distance from Supervisor Zhang. What he is now promoting is a measure that is hated. If he gets closer to him, it will inevitably make people hate us."

"I can't get close now. Last time, some merchants from Qingdao who were close to the Japanese joined forces with the Japanese to welcome Zhang Zongchang. Because I had been promoting domestic products in the chamber of commerce some time ago, I didn't go there. Later, I handled the funeral for Hu Xinzhi. Although Zhang Zongchang did not express his dissatisfaction directly in these two things, he did not give him face. I was afraid that he would settle the score in the future." Sui Shiqing said with a wry smile, feeling unsure.

"Don't worry too much. Although our Sihai Industrial is not in line with the Japanese, we cooperate with Germans and Americans well. In addition, there is also the US representative consul in Qingdao, so there is no need to worry about how Zhang Zongchang dares to deal with the industry. As for the industries that my brother owns, there is only one Huaxin Wood Factory and one Huachang Iron Factory. Both of them are not large in scale. My brother's main investment is not here now, so there should be no big problem."

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's comforting words, Sui Shiqing thought about it carefully and felt that this was true. He felt much more relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope this is the case with my little brother."

"Brother, what do you mean? In this chaotic world before you, keep the duty of an orthodox businessman and not participate in official affairs; maintain the conscience of a Chinese and be worthy of his ancestors and conscience. Within his own ability, try to help those poor people in need, who are the descendants of Yan and Huang who have the same blood as us."

"I have a lot of concerns now and can't do what my little brothers do. However, I have adjusted the treatment of workers in my industry. This time, in the wave of workers' strikes, the workers in my industry work with peace of mind and no trouble. In addition, I also work hard to provide relief to the victims through the chamber of commerce and do my best."

"By the way, brother, have those workers, students, and those party members arrested by Zhang Zongchang been killed?"

"All those caught in early May were released, and those caught in the end of May were basically released. A few of the arrests were killed at the end of July, and the rest were also kept in lockdown. What do you ask about this?"

"I am worried about the students of Qingdao University. Although they had a holiday in advance, some of them were near Qingdao. Some of them were interested in the National Assembly movement and other ideas promoted by Wang Jinmei. I am afraid that they would go back to Qingdao to participate in any activities during this period, so it would be troublesome."

"Don't worry, I have paid special attention. There are no students from Qingdao University locked up." Liu Quanfa took Zhao Zhenzhong's words and said: "However, Wang Jinmei, who once promoted the National Assembly movement in Qingdao, is said to be terminally ill now and lives in Qingdao Municipal Health Center, which is the former Puji Hospital."

"What a pity that such a person." Seeing Sui Shiqing and Liu Quanfa and the two of them were puzzled, Zhao Zhenzhong explained: "I have learned about the ideas promoted by Wang Jinmei. Although I do not agree with some of what he said, I still admire his ability to work hard and work hard for the country and the people, and his dedication."

The three of them sighed for a moment.

After learning about the current situation from Sui Shiqing and Liu Quanfa, Zhao Zhenzhong arrived at the Dazhu Mountain base on August 13.

The Dazhushan base now has changed a lot compared to a few months ago. The most obvious feeling is that it adds a lot of life atmosphere here.

A few months ago, Dazhu Mountain was under continuous construction, reclaiming land, renovating water conservancy, building houses, building fortifications, etc., as if it was a large construction site. In addition, the scenes of hundreds of team members often trained, make people clearly feel the atmosphere of the military camp. Now, the training of the team members is still, and the number of people is even greater than before, but some new people and things appear to make people clearly feel the atmosphere of life here.

From this spring to now, in addition to the original 773 Rangers and more than 70 people familiar with farmland management, water conservancy and house construction led by Kuang Zhenjue, the Dazhushan Base has also taken in more than 300 orphans under the age of 10 and more than 20 people who have been specially transferred from the Nanyao to take care of them. In addition, more than 600 teenagers aged 15 to 18 are undergoing three-month selection training.

In addition to the increased population of about 1,000, chickens, ducks, dogs, cows, sheep and other animals appeared in the Dazhu Mountain base. In the mountains and forests, there were also gravel-paved paths and rows of neat houses that could accommodate more than 3,000 people. These newly emerging people and things added a rich atmosphere of pastoral life to this base that was originally changed from a bandit nest.

At the beginning, Liu Chengshan, who accompanied Zhao Zhenzhong to check the base, Li Yunhai and others were quite proud to introduce to Zhao Zhenzhong how they completed these constructions. However, Zhao Zhenzhong had been frank except for a few praises at the beginning, and slowly the introductions were no longer moving. They found that the more construction achievements Zhao Zhenzhong saw in the base, the ugly the look was. After checking, Zhao Zhenzhong said to the people: "You guys bring all the 6 companies and 771 people before I left to the training ground." Liu Chengshan, Li Yunhai, Jiang Yishan, Gu Haichuan, Liu Haidong, and Yang Tianming agreed and hurried to lead the teams they were responsible for.

After more than a day of training and testing, Lieutenant General Zhao Zhen, Zhou Hao, stayed behind 256 former Rangers after he went abroad. These 256 people are now in leadership positions at all levels in six companies.

Facing these 256 people, Zhao Zhenzhong broke out: "Before I left, the land reclamation and house construction here have basically been completed. The purpose of leaving you here is to train, not to let you treat this place as a comfortable nest in this delicious food and drink! What have you been busy with in more than three months?! The training results of your 256 people can be said to have not improved at all! You have also raised chickens, ducks, dogs, cows, and sheep. Do you want to open a farm?! If you don't want to stay in this team, you can get out!"

The people below had never seen Zhao Zhenzhong get such a big temper and were silent for a moment.

"Your training performance has not improved, and it can be said that you are busy training newcomers during this period. But you have trained hundreds of newcomers to be like this bear? Liu Chengshan, you have set off guns very quickly, but what about the head?! That is shooting, not firecrackers! Li Yunhai, which old man teaches you the posture of your stun training? Don't forget, you are holding guns, not fire sticks! Jiang Yishan, you have never even played rope net climbing, right? Shouting, what style! This is training! Not a child playing house! Gu Haichuan, which gentleman asked you to turn tactical assaults into group races? Huge sheep in a swarm?! Liu Haidong, you even know it clean, crawling in low posture and climbing around the puddles? What's so beautiful? And you, Yang Tianming! Hidden training is to let you find a place to hide your cat with a gun?!"

After a harsh conversation, everyone below blushed and didn't dare to speak out, for fear of causing "King of Yan Zhao" and "Crazy Zhao" to be even more angry.

"If any of you people are unwilling to continue, you are impatient. Let me ask you now! I will give you another chance here and I can agree to let you leave! Does anyone want to leave?"

More than 200 people were silent and in a state of solemnity.

"Not really?! That's good! Since you don't want to leave, then show your energy and don't let me live here!"

"This is a base, a base for comprehensive military training, not for you to play house here! I will give you a day to keep me safe in the chickens, ducks, dogs, cows, sheep and other animals raised in this base. If I find it near the training camp or near the entire base, I will not spare you!"

"I will check again in 10 days. If there is not much improvement, whoever catches the problem will leave consciously!"

"A meeting! Liu Chengshan, Li Yunhai, Jiang Yishan, Gu Haichuan, Liu Haidong, Yang Tianming, you six will come back soon after you have made arrangements. There is still something to ask you."

After a roar, the more than 200 people below were suddenly nervous and rushed back as quickly as possible to make arrangements.

Zhao Zhenzhong had to be angry. Before leaving, he repeatedly told everyone not to delay training. But when he came back, although the base had taken in many orphans, had a bumper harvest of summer grain, and other construction was done well, the most fundamental training was relaxed. Moreover, some team members had the leisure to raise kittens and puppies? Now it is mid-August, and in a few months, the ground in Shandong will be incurred again. These team members will also face real battlefield fights. In this state, it is needless to say that they want to take the opportunity to scramble to expand their power and save their lives. Thank God.

After a while, Liu Chengshan and six others rushed back again. Zhao Zhenzhong learned in detail about how the tasks assigned by him before going to the United States were completed.
Chapter completed!
