Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Hey, what's a Taiwanese businessman?"

Li Yunshan didn't think further, but Wang Laojiu couldn't help but wonder what exactly this Taiwanese businessman was.

In fact, not only Wang Laojiu was curious, but also Zhou Wushu, Li Baotian, and Zhao Shuanzhu... they were all curious.

In this day and age, without mobile phones, televisions, or the internet, information spreads very slowly, and people have very limited access to information from the outside world. Apart from a few radios in the village and newspapers from the village office, there is only the village radio broadcast.

Moreover, even if people obtain information from the outside world through a limited number of channels, most people will still selectively forget it.

Take the reform and opening up as an example. In the early 1980s, only coastal cities were reformed. As for Qinghe County, which was located inland, even if some people knew about it, the reform and opening up did not extend to Qinghe County, so most people were indifferent and didn't bother to care.

As for new terms that emerged after the reform and opening up of the coastal areas, such as "Taiwanese businessmen," they are probably unfamiliar to many people in county-level government offices, let alone hunters like Uncle Zhou and Li Baotian who usually work in the fields for the village collective and hunt in the mountains during the off-season.

For people who are usually exhausted from racking their brains to make a living, they don't have much time or energy to learn about the outside world or even understand a new term.

It was winter, the off-season for farming, and they happened to have rescued those two people. Now, sitting in the corridor of the county hospital, with nothing else to do, they asked a few questions out of curiosity.

During busy farming seasons, they wouldn't have the time to learn about these things.

"The country has now carried out reform and opening up, and is attracting investment from all over the world. We hope to build factories in coastal cities through investment attraction, so that people can have more jobs and opportunities to earn money instead of wasting a lot of time digging in the fields."

Li Yunshan spoke up to explain.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Uncle Zhou and the others were all looking at him with blank expressions.

What is investment promotion?

Cai asked the second question.

"It's about attracting wealthy entrepreneurs and factory owners to our country, and then having them use their money to build factories and produce things like toothpaste, toothbrushes, clothes, hats, shoes, bicycles, and sewing machines that we use every day."

"To produce these things, we need people to work. That's when we need to recruit a large number of strong laborers to work in the factory and get paid. Do you understand?"

"This Taiwanese businessman is someone who came from across the strait. He used his own money to build factories on the mainland, creating more job opportunities for the locals."

Li Yunshan had no choice but to explain to Uncle Zhou and the others in simpler terms.

Upon hearing Li Yunshan's explanation, Uncle Zhou and the others immediately understood.

Taiwanese businessmen = wealthy, build factories, and provide job opportunities.

"If he spent money to build a factory in a coastal city, why did he come all the way here?"

Peng Youlian said.

"I don't know about that."

Li Yunshan shrugged.

According to his memory, the earliest Taiwanese businessmen who built factories in Qinghe County can be traced back to around the millennium, when he had already become wealthy and achieved some success.

Now, Taiwanese businessmen would never travel all the way to Qinghe County to build factories, firstly because Qinghe County is located inland, and secondly because its transportation development is still very backward.

Besides, coastal cities still have a lot of room for development, so who would come here to invest and build a factory?

After ruling out that possibility, Li Yunshan thought about it and realized there was only one possibility left.

But he didn't say it.

After all, those two are still in the emergency room, and it's unknown whether they'll come out alive or dead.

If they manage to get out of the emergency room alive, they'll find out eventually.

However, Uncle Zhou and the others looked at Li Yunshan in surprise.

Why are you all staring at me like that? Do I have flowers growing on my face?

Li Yunshan said jokingly.

"No, I'm just curious how you know so much. What's all this about reform and opening up, or attracting investment? We've never heard of any of that."

Actually, everyone has always had a question about Li Yunshan: how come someone who rarely even went hunting in the mountains before has such amazing hunting skills? It can't be that he suddenly realized his mistakes and reformed, and suddenly became good at everything.

Now, what Uncle Zhou and the others are wondering about Li Yunshan is that he used to be idle and irresponsible, but he seems to know a lot about some of the country's policies. How could someone who is idle and irresponsible understand this?

At this point, Li Yunshan understood why they were all looking at him with surprise. It was because he had said too much, which had completely exceeded Uncle Zhou and the others' preconceived notions about him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Just two months ago, he gave the impression of being irresponsible and unserious. Now that he's said so much, it would be strange if people weren't curious.

"When I used to mess around, I went everywhere and listened to what others said. After hearing it so many times, I remembered it."

Li Yunshan lied through his teeth without batting an eye, his face remaining calm and composed.

Although Uncle Zhou and the others still had doubts after hearing what he said, they did not continue to ask questions.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, the emergency room bell rang, and the door slowly opened. A doctor wearing surgical scrubs, stained with specks of blood, walked out.

"Doctor, how are the two injured people?"

Upon seeing the operating room door open and the doctor emerge, Captain Jiang was the first to quickly walk over and inquire.

After all, the injured person was a Taiwanese businessman. Although he may not have invested in a hospital in Qinghe County, he was robbed by highwaymen in Qinghe County. If he really died here, it would make other Taiwanese businessmen, and even foreign businessmen, have doubts about reform and opening up and investing in factories.

After all, if even basic social order and security cannot be guaranteed, who would invest large sums of real money?

"The bullet has been removed, and both people are fine, but they are still in a coma due to excessive blood loss."

The doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression showing some fatigue.

As a doctor, saving lives is our duty, and as a doctor who can perform surgery on patients in the emergency room, we are fighting against death.

In county hospitals, there aren't many doctors who can fight against death in the emergency room.

So, as a doctor who fights against death in the emergency room, he has actually performed several surgeries today.

He was almost off work when the two wounded men with gunshot wounds were brought in, but when he heard that they had lost too much blood and were unconscious, he disregarded his fatigue, immediately changed into his surgical gown, and rushed into the emergency room.

The surgeries on these two injured patients lasted for more than two hours.

"Thank you so much, doctor, that he's alive."

Captain Jiang held the doctor's hand tightly and said.

"Hehe, police officer, if you want to thank someone, thank these officers. If those two injured people had been brought in five to ten minutes later, they would basically be beyond saving."

The doctor smiled and said modestly.

His surgery saved two lives, but if the hunters hadn't rushed them to the hospital as quickly as possible, they would have been beyond saving.

"Hehe, you should thank me, you definitely should."

Captain Jiang nodded with a smile.

At that moment, a nurse came out of the emergency room carrying a tray with the bullet that had been removed from the wounded.

"Officer, this is the bullet that was removed from the victim's body. We hope it will be of some help in solving the case."

The doctor said to Captain Jiang.

"Thanks."

Captain Jiang nodded and glanced at it.

There were three bullets in the tray, and the bloodstains on them had been cleaned off.

"These are... bullets for a Type 54 pistol!"

With just one glance, Captain Jiang recognized where the three bullets came from.

"Captain Jiang, the Type 54 pistol ammunition suggests that this is not as simple as highway robbery."

Hearing Captain Jiang's surprised exclamation from nearby, Li Yunshan leaned over to take a look and said...

Hunters like them mostly use shotguns, muskets, or bows and arrows; very few use rifles.

Like the Mosin-Nagant rifle in his house, that was passed down from his father.

However, when he separated from his elder brother, his brother complained that the gun only had sixteen bullets left, so he didn't want it and left it to him instead.

Highway robbers usually use hunting rifles, bird guns, etc., to intimidate and threaten pedestrians, and rarely commit murder and robbery.

Li Yunshan's words immediately reminded Captain Jiang.

"Chief Qin, when you went to handle the scene, did you find any belongings missing from the deceased's body? Were there any signs of ransacking in the car?"

Captain Jiang immediately asked Chief Qin of the police station.

"The car was not damaged, and all the valuables inside were still there. There were no signs of it being ransacked. The only deceased also had all the money in his wallet," said Chief Qin.

"Doctor, where are the clothes of the two injured people now? Have you taken any of their belongings from their clothes?"

Captain Jiang then asked the doctor.

"The injured were not carrying any money, but they were wearing gold rings and expensive watches."

The doctor said.

"With gold rings and expensive watches on display, highway robbers and bandits usually only want money, which goes against common sense."

Li Yunshan said.

"Indeed, it seems this matter is not simple."

Captain Jiang nodded, glanced at Li Yunshan, and said, "Brother Yunshan, you seem to have a lot to say. Why don't you help me analyze this? The highwaymen didn't rob any obvious valuables when they blocked the road, but only fired at those two Taiwanese businessmen. Why is that?"

"Hehe, Captain Jiang, let me share my own opinion. Please correct me if I'm wrong," Li Yunshan said with a smile.

"you say."
