In the banquet hall, cups and cups were interlaced, and the guests and hosts were all happy.
Wanchunzhai found a way to survive.
As for Zhang Yi, he is very happy that after taking in this cottage with 1,200 people, he can directly face Greater China to carry out trade activities. Of course, he must first tear down the wall that stands between the two sides, and Zhang Yi is still confident about this. of.
At the request of Master Wanzhai, Zhang Yi summoned Xiaolong, Niu Ben and Xiao Han. The five heroes gathered together, and Master Wanzhai was honored.
At first, Xiaolong and the others were a little wary of the owner of this semi-evil village. When the little fat man said he was his cousin, well, he turned out to be one of their own.
Everyone suddenly became enthusiastic. When Xiaolong saw that four dishes and one soup were not enough, he quickly asked someone to add more dishes. He served the highest standard of eight dishes and one soup to the village leader Wan.
Xiaolong is also in charge of the kitchen now, and Xiaolong takes care of almost everything outside of the Seventh Department. If Zhang Yi is the head of state, then Xiaolong is the prime minister, and there is an incomparable tacit understanding between the brothers.
According to Zhang Yi's idea, people in important positions must be elected by citizens. Such an election has been held once. More than 100 coordinators in Mopan City voted unanimously to elect Brother Zhang Yi. Look at the momentum, Zhang Yi Even if you refuse, you won't be able to wait.
This is precisely a loophole in the system, and Zhang Yi knows it very well. People still place their hopes on a certain hero. Regarding this situation, Zhang Yi's idea is that he and his brothers will persist until the reunification of China, and even On the day when the world becomes unified, no matter what happens next, he will take his brothers out to avoid monopolizing power and becoming the dictator he hates most.
But that’s a story for another day.
In the minds of everyone, Zhang Yi is the supreme leader, the uncrowned king, and the absolute authority. People almost deify and worship him.
The addition of Wanchunzhai is like a stone falling into the water, creating new waves.
Within a few days, the remaining 16 cottages heard the news and came to see Zhang Yi one after another, bringing gifts.
…
Before Zhang Yi met with the village leaders, Xiaolong proposed to hold an emergency meeting.
It was held in the small living room, and the participants were the five Zhang Yi brothers.
"Brother Yi, the copycats are flocking to join us. I think this matter should be carefully considered," Xiaolong said.
"That's right, we are just living a better life, so those cottagers come here to eat and drink, it's a nice thought." Niu Ben said, seeing Shi Gandang pouting, he quickly added, "Wanchun Village is an exception, Yi Ge said , that’s the second Songjiazhai, hahaha.”
"Hehehe." Shi Gandang laughed and punched him. Niu Ben fought back, and the two began to arm-wrestle.
Everyone laughed. As long as the two of them were together, they would fight and fight, sometimes regardless of the occasion. It didn't matter that they were brothers, but it was inappropriate at the conference.
"Brother Niu, Xiaoshi, please don't fight when there are many people in the future," Xiao Han reminded with a smile, and then expressed his opinion, "I think Xiaolong is right. This matter should be carefully considered. The remaining 16 The cottages all have contacts with Liu Kai."
"It's not just Liu Kai's family, Brother Xiao," Xiaolong said, "These 16 cottages are almost the same as Wanchun Village. They are at the outermost edge of the Mopan City area, either bordering Old China or next to Greater China and Little China. Who dares to say that there is no connection between them?"
"That's right!" Shi Gandang understood immediately after hearing this, "I dare to guarantee Wanchunzhai. As long as the Shi family makes a promise, it will definitely be done, because they are thieves and thieves. But other families will not You dare to say it, but my sworn brother should be careful!"
"Why bother?" Niu Ben sighed, "Brother Yi, why do we take in those cottages? We currently have 43 cottages, so many people have to eat and drink every day, are they worried?"
"Worried about people?" Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Daniu knows that he is worried now, and indeed he is. I know that everyone can't figure it out and don't agree with it. Without those copycats, we would have food and meat to eat. If we accept those copycats, we would be in trouble. They have to live a hard life with their belts tightened. Besides, Xiaolong and Xiaohan are right, some of these copycat villages are just like grassroots, and they may have connections with the three big countries."
"If that's the case, Yi Ge should just refuse it. How easy it would be!" Shi Gandang said with a smile.
Zhang Yi got up and paced in the small living room, and he began to think deeply again.
This is a tough choice.
We long for reunification and peace every day, but when the copycats come to visit us, we have to face the grim reality.
The industrial and commercial center plan is still in the construction period, with almost all manpower and material resources invested. Only after all three trade routes are successfully developed can goods be sold continuously. Zhang Yi needs to do these things himself.
People like Qiao Dayou are just executives and have yet to grow up. They currently do not have the ability to open up business routes, because this is not just a commercial issue, but there are many political, diplomatic and military issues hidden behind it.
It's at this critical moment.
Zhang Yi's idea is actually to wait until industry and commerce develops before unifying them.
However, at this time, many copycats lined up to say good things.
The brothers became quiet and waited for the step brother to make a decision. It was difficult enough for the step brother. Although he never complained, everyone could feel his pressure. A king and hero, under the dazzling glory, more It is the responsibility that must bear all the pressure and blows.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yi stopped and asked.
"The water in a small pond is always turbid. Why?"
"Because there is a lot of sediment." Niu Ben replied.
"Because there is no river water flowing in." Shi Gandang replied.
"Because the pond is too small. If it were a big lake, the water would be clear." Xiao Han replied.
"Hahaha," Xiaolong laughed, "I don't need to answer. Adding up the words of the three brothers, that's what I want to say. Only when the pond is big enough can it have the ability to clarify the dirt."
"Hey, Brother Xiaolong, I'll learn another trick from you," Shi Gandang patted his head and said, "I will be the last one to say it in the future, like Brother Xiaolong said, hahaha!"
The brothers high-fived each other and laughed.
"Xiao Shi, don't be lazy, you have to use your own brain," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Even if you don't speak, Xiaolong will say this in the end. Xiaohan's answer is right, but it's a pity that there is a layer of window paper missing and it is not clear. "
Niu Ben, Shi Gandang and Xiao Han all nodded. Without asking, they knew what Yi Ge was thinking. He wanted to build a big lake.
"Brothers, if we only guard a small pond, we will be okay for the time being, but we will face more problems in the future. If we are not strong enough, do not have enough tolerance and purification capabilities, we will shrink day by day. Rivers, lakes and seas will all It is formed by the convergence of streams. When others come to us, we might as well open our hearts and accept those who encounter difficulties. Only in this way can we become a big lake!"
Zhang Yi's words landed loudly, and the brothers couldn't help but nod. This is called ambition and courage. But what about the bad guys who sneak in?
Faced with such questions, Zhang Yi also has his own method.
