Chapter 46 Outside Liu
Shandong people themselves are also quite tough. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Shandong has made a horse. In order to resist thieves, all villages, under the leadership of large families, have built fortress walls, built villages to protect themselves, selected young people in the village, and organized their own groups to practice township bravery, and used them to control thieves.
Therefore, although Xishan Village suddenly built a large wall, it did not attract too much attention from the government. In addition, Liu Yuanwai, who bought a lot of new land here, was very generous and well-made in Ninghai Prefecture. The government was so popular about Liu Yuanwai in Xishan Village to build a fortress. No one asked about it at all.
And this member's surname is Liu, whose name is different. He is a person from Dengzhou Prefecture. In his early years, he was born as a small cargo man, but now his secret identity is a lieutenant officer in the Sea Wolf Army. In addition, he is also an intelligence officer under the Intelligence Department. His name is Liu San. He carries a burden of goods and walks around the countryside all day long. Small business, life is not bad, but later the area of Dengzhou Prefecture became more and more chaotic. First, he was robbed many times, and his business capital was completely lost.
So LiuDi also simply took a risk, followed people to join the grass as a bandit, gathered dozens of hungry people and started a business without a capital. However, this guy was unlucky. Soon after he did it, he was beaten by the government by soldiers and almost confessed his life. Seeing that the government wanted him everywhere, he may be arrested at any time. Behead.
LiuDi no longer dared to hang out in Dengzhou Prefecture. He hurriedly fled to the south and accidentally met someone from Aoshanwei, Laizhou Prefecture, who was recruiting people to go south to farm. When he had no way out, LiuDi got on the boat and joined the sea wolf.
After arriving in Taiwan, the sea wolf personnel examined him and found that Liu was very knowledgeable, speakable, and very good at doing things. He also had a little martial arts (ancient man who went to the countryside to defend himself, could do more or less work in order to protect himself). In addition, he was also a Shandong native, and his physical condition was also quite good. He was recruited into the army as a soldier.
Liu Vu quickly stood out in the army and was found to be a good seedling by the execution hall. On the one hand, he was recruited into the execution hall and became a member of the sand. On the other hand, he was promoted and sent to the army officer school for further study. After completing three months of study in the army school, he was discovered by the intelligence department. After half a year of intelligence training.
As a result, last year, Yu Xiaotian decided to send someone to Denglai for intelligence collection and preliminary deployment work, so LiuDi was immediately selected and sent to Denglai.
Liu did not change his current name, and spent money to find a relationship, whitewashed his identity, obtained a new identity, and no longer worried about being arrested by the government. However, he turned into a businessman who made a fortune in the south and wanted to go back to his hometown to buy some real estate owners.
Later, I found out that there was a large dilapidated man in Xishan Village. He couldn't get along and wanted to sell hundreds of mu of their non-fertile land, as well as the old house in their village. After Liu looked at the spot, he immediately bought this piece of land and his old house at a high price and became the big landlord of Xishan Village.
At that time, many people secretly laughed at this guy for spending money. This land was not worth so much money at all. Including the house, he spent a lot of money and regarded him as a Kaizi.
When I first arrived in Xishan Village, there were also some local ruffians who wanted to find him trouble and blackout some money, but as soon as these ruffians took action, they found that they had kicked the iron plate.
Liu Di and more than a dozen families, each of whom were good at hand, were ruthless when they started. In addition, they dared to spend money to dredge the relationship, and hit the government office up and down. Some ruffians went up and touched a head of blood and broke their arms and legs, but they did not dared to sue.
Two of the fierce guys tried to gather more ruffians to make trouble, but suddenly disappeared for some reason.
A few days later, the bodies of the two guys were found in a puddle that was not often passed by. Everyone was broken and their hands and feet were thrown into the puddle and drowned.
Only then did those ruffians understand that they provoked the characters that could not be provoked. From then on, they stopped and no longer dared to find Liu in different trouble.
Liu did a little later. The government closed the case in the name of not being able to find the murderer, and this matter was over. After all, it was too common for several people to die in this era. The government did not have the energy to investigate and deal with it one by one, so Liu Di was naturally safe and sound.
However, this also made Liu Di opened up the situation in the local area. The strong men and ruffians within dozens of miles around knew that Liu Di was a fierce character, a character that could not be easily provoked. In addition, he was rich and willing to make some points. The government also gave him face, so Liu Di completely stood here. Follow.
After Liu Di established a firm foothold in Haining Prefecture, he soon received further instructions from Lin Yiyang. Lin Yiyang sent him a platoon of soldiers, all of whom were selected from Shandong locals and moved into the Liu family compound in Xishan Village as family personnel.
And as these people also brought a lot of money and handed it over to LiuDi. Lin Yiyang, according to Yu Xiaotian's instructions, ordered LiuDi must build a strong wall in Xishan Village before winter. In addition, a small dock for ships to berth by the sea must first be repaired.
In addition, if possible, we should find a way to control Yangma Island in our hands. Even if we spend money to buy it, there is no problem, and we should set up a small fortress on the shore of Yangma Island and Xishan Village, which will be of great use in the future.
After Liu got the order, he immediately took action. Even if the news began to spread, a large number of people were recruited to build walls and docks. In addition, he also began to contact the government of Ninghai Prefecture to buy land on Yangma Island.
Yangma Island was not called Yangma Island, but Judao. The land on the island was originally a masterful land, but in the early Ming Dynasty, because of the Japanese disaster, the residents of Yangma Island had to be forcibly moved into the mainland, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were stationed on the island.
In this way, the land on the island became a wasteland or official land. With the gradual light of the Japanese disease, and because the soldiers on the island were extremely squeezed by the generals, the soldiers stationed on the island continued to flee. By this era, the military villages on the island have existed in name only.
However, the land basically transferred to a guard surnamed Peng and became their ancestral land. However, because of the lack of peace over the years, there are often small pirates on the sea, and the only remaining military households on the island have also fled one after another. At this time, there are less than 30 military households left, and a small number of them are still farming on the island. The land.
It can be said that the land on Yangma Island is basically in a state of desertion, and Peng, the landlord, is also helpless about the situation here. He has long had the intention to sell the land on Yangma Island, but the value of the land on the island itself is not high, and from time to time there will Pirates came. Although he was in the intention to sell it, no one took over the offer at all.
Now suddenly LiuDi proposed to buy land on Yangma Island, so Peng guard immediately sent someone to Xishan Village to contact Liu Yi.
Originally, Peng Shoubei wanted to take the opportunity to sell it at a high price, but now that LiuDi has gained a firm foothold here, he naturally does not want to be the wrongdoer again, so when Peng Shoubei proposed the price, LiuDi immediately rejected the price he gave.
Of course, Liu Di now knows the land price of Yangma Island. A large amount of land on the island has been abandoned all year round, and it can hardly be said that it has no value. Even if the land on the island is very fertile, no one cultivates it, and it still has no value.
So Liu did not want to fall indulge, pretended to be unnecessary, and put this matter on hold. As soon as he hesitated, Peng Shoubei was anxious and dared not insist on the original price. He was afraid that there would be no store if he missed the village, so he quickly took the initiative to suppress the price.
In the end, Liu did not pretend to be reluctant to buy a large area of land on the island at a fair price, but this land is not the whole of the island, because Yangma Island is not too small, with a total of 10 square kilometers. If it is bought, it will really cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, except for this piece of land guarded by Peng, the rest of the land is basically official land. After Liu Di purchased this land, he also bought hundreds of mu of other official land connected to this land in the west of the island.
In this way, the whole west of Yangma Island, across the water from Xishan Village, basically fell into Liu's different hands.
By this time, Liu Di has become a big landlord with more than 2,000 mu of land. Although most of the fields on the shore are thin fields, the more than 1,000 mu of land on the island are quite good fertile land, but it has been abandoned for a little longer. It is estimated that it will be a little difficult to replough.
After Liu Di took a large area of land in the southwest corner of Yangma Island, the first thing he did was not to recruit farmers to cultivate the land, but to recruit a large group of people to send them tools on the island and ask several subordinates to supervise the land on the island to build a circle about one meter thick and high. The earth enclosure of less than two meters gives it a basic defense capability.
In addition, two trestle bridges have been built deep into the sea, which can be directly docked and unload cargoes, nominally for future fishing boats to dock here, but in fact, it can be used by sea wolves at any time and used as a transit station for refugees.
Of course, while Liu did not forget to toss the Xishan Village. In addition to his large family, there are dozens of civilians in Xishan Village. These families all have a small amount of land. At least they are also villagers here. LiuDi came forward to discuss with these households in the village to repair the wall of the village. .
