Lin Yuan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and thought: "My plan is to prevent the British from getting a single bit of aluminum. How does this person know? My plan is to tell Liu Jinqiu and other experts However, no one else knows! This person looks like an ordinary businessman, how does he know?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask in detail, he saw the curtain of the hall was lifted, and Zhang Hua walked in from the door, and everyone stood up one after another, cupping their fists at Zhang Hua, and that person also turned to look at Zhang Hua, and stopped looking at Lin Yuan. , Lin Yuan just wanted to call him over to speak, only to hear Zhang Hua say on the stage: "My friends, please be quiet, and listen to the next sentence."

The surroundings were quiet, and it was difficult for Lin Yuan to talk to that person.Zhang Hua finished speaking on the stage, then raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Have a banquet!"

As soon as the words fell, the clerk walked into the room like a revolving lantern, and put delicacies of mountains and seas on the table like flowing water. Everyone pushed glasses and changed glasses, and chatted happily. Just as Lin Yuan was about to talk to that person, he was slapped behind him. Yuan Yuan turned around and saw the man behind him smiling and said, "My lord, you look at your face, I don't know where you made your fortune?"

Lin Yuan could only answer with a smile, and when this person finished asking, the next one came to ask. After three or four people, that person had already blended into the crowd and disappeared. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It would be great if Wan Qing was here." , she can help herself to keep an eye on that person, but she has been taken to the downstairs room."

Lin Yuan lingered among the crowd for a while, but he still couldn't find that person. He couldn't help but feel strange, so he turned around and came out of the house. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Shen Wanqing sitting in the hall, putting a teacup on the table by herself. Going up, spinning around boredly, Lin Yuan came up to him and asked, "What are you doing here alone?"

Shen Wanqing said helplessly: "I was despised by others inside, what should I do if I don't come out!"

Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Being despised by others? What did you do there?"

Shen Wanqing said: "The people inside are all noble ladies. The things they are talking about are either the beautiful gold or the beautiful jade. I can't get in a word, so why don't I have the nerve to stay inside!"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "So that's the case. I have a book on jewelry and jade, you can read it."

Shen Wanqing thought to herself: "Someone of them gave this gold and that jade, why didn't you give me anything, I said these words to hint at you, but you didn't seem to hear it at all." Such delicate Shen Wanqing was too embarrassed to say what she was thinking, so she smiled twice to cover it up.

Seeing her turn from worry to joy, Lin Yuan changed the subject and said, "I just met a strange person upstairs."

Shen Wanqing asked, "Strange? What's so strange?"

Lin Yuan said: "He said that it is impossible for the British to take away even a little bit of aluminum. Do you think it is strange? Did he know my plan? When I wanted to ask again, he had disappeared!"

Shen Wanqing shook her head and said: "Impossible, your plan has surpassed this era, how could he know? I think what he said was just to sensationalize and attract everyone's attention, so as to arouse your interest." and ran away, so you couldn't find him."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I hope so."

The next day was the day when Zhang Hua took people to Zhangjia Village to persuade the villagers to move, while Lin Yuan waited for the news in the governor's office. When it was evening, Zhang Hua came back, and sat downcastly as soon as he entered the door. Sitting on the chair, he couldn't stop sighing.

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Hua said: "Do you think it's strange? Our people visited more than 100 villagers today, and none of them were willing to relocate."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There is nothing strange about this. Restoration and relocation is a Chinese tradition. The changes in these traditions and customs do not happen overnight. We have to take our time."

Zhang Hua said helplessly: "What's the relocation? The people I'm looking for today are all tenants. They don't have any land at all. They are all rented land by landlords. What is there to miss here!"

Lin Yuan said: "That's really strange. The tenants are all people who have no land. If they move to the place we designate, we will give them land. Land is what they want most. How can they Can you move it?"

Zhang Hua said: "That's right. Today our people have worn out their mouths and broken their legs. None of these people want to relocate. There is a family who is a young man who chatted with our people for a few words. Speculation, hit with a shoulder pole, if our people don’t run fast, we won’t be able to escape a fat beating!”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and see for myself tomorrow." Lin Yuan asked Shen Wanqing to explain the whole story, Shen Wanqing also felt strange, so the two dressed up , put on the clothes of ordinary people, came to Zhangjia Village, and asked those villagers what happened.

In March in the northeast, people don’t freeze water, the ice and snow on the road have begun to melt, but the air is still chilly, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing saw a yard by the roadside, and three houses were built with adobe in the yard , the roof was covered with rough mud tiles, and when I walked to the door, the sound of spinning wheels came from inside.

Lin Yuan said: "Adobe house with mud tiles, it seems that this family is a little rich, let's go in and ask first."

Shen Wanqing then went forward to knock on the door, the sound of the spinning wheel inside stopped, and a woman's voice sounded: "Who is it? Is there something wrong?" Shen Wanqing said, "We are passing by here and want to ask for a drink."

The woman opened the door and said, "Come in." Shen Wanqing and Lin Yuan entered the courtyard. The woman later took out two white porcelain bowls filled with hot water. The woman smiled and said, "Please." Use it slowly, if you don’t think our house is shabby, why don’t you stay for a while longer and leave after lunch.” Lin Yuan looked at the white porcelain bowl and said with a smile: “My sister-in-law, your family is doing well, last year’s harvest How about it!"

The woman walked to the spinning wheel and sat down, and said with a smile: "The family has three acres of Susukida, and the harvest is reasonable."

Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law's accent, you are from Shandong, right?" The woman also laughed when she heard this, and said: "This brother is very knowledgeable. My husband and I are both from Shandong. The year before last Just got here."

Lin Yuan said: "Then you don't have any relatives here, right? If someone gave you ten acres of fertile land and asked you to move to another place, would you be willing?"

Hearing this, the woman frowned immediately, stood up, walked two steps to Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing, grabbed the bowl with her hand, splashed the water on the ground, and put the two bowls together With one hand free, he pushed Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing, and said, "Hurry up, I'm not here for you."

Shen Wanqing hurriedly said: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Did we say something wrong?" The woman didn't say much, and pushed the two out of the courtyard door, and closed the door tightly with a "bang". Then I heard a "crash" inside, and the door latch has been locked!

Shen Wanqing frowned and said, "This is really strange. When you talk about relocation, she seems to be facing a big enemy."

Lin Yuan nodded, and said, "That's right, why exactly?" At this moment, a dozen or so men were walking behind them with sticks in their hands. Seeing the murderous look on their faces, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling Think: "What do these people do?"
