Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

At that time, ghost guys rarely came to Kowloon. Their bases were all on Hong Kong Island, such as the HSBC headquarters in Central, Jardine Warehouse in Causeway Bay, and Taikoo Warehouse in Quarry Bay.

To Gui Lao, Kowloon looks very close, but is actually far away.

For them, Kowloon is a place that receives refugees.

As soon as Gao Yao got out of the car, he was surrounded by enthusiastic squires.

Jiulong Ku takes the lead, brother Jiu Yi!
If Dr. Gao was not born in heaven, eternity would be like a long night!
This is really not hypocritical. At that time, the Cantonese people in Kowloon mainly lived in the Canton Road area, and they had almost no contact with the Chaozhou Gang.

The Hailufeng people and the Dongguan Gang on the dock often fight with each other.

At that time, the people who had the best relationship with the Chaozhou Gang were the Hokkien people...

As for the Hakka Gang, there is no need to talk about it. It has a deep hatred against the Cantonese people and the New Territories natives...

In such an environment, there are enemies everywhere, and the ghost guys can't handle it at all, so they have to recruit Chinese policemen from different provinces to take care of things.

The main purpose is to deal with the social problems caused by the distribution of culture, power and interests between different ethnic groups.

But now it's better. By hooking up with Liu Meiren, Gao directly defeated Lian Gongle, the largest force in the world of Dongguan Gang.

They also used the Kowloon Walled City and the Chaozhou Gang to suppress the Hakka Gang.

On the Kowloon side, representatives of the Hakka Clan, He Zitou, representatives of the Dongguan Clan, Lian Gongle, and the Chaozhou Clan all followed his orders.

That’s why we reopened Leshan Hall today.

To be honest, in Kowloon, only high officials can make several parties sit together.

Because everyone knew this, they expressed their goodwill to Gao Yao.

"Sorry about the traffic jam."

Gao Yao, who was smiling all over his face, thoughtfully gave everyone an acceptable reason, even though there were not many cars at the Kowloon Pier...

"Everyone, please come inside."

Gao Yao waved his hand and led everyone into the teahouse.

The interior had already been decorated like a hall. Everyone moved forward to take the first seat, and then sat down one after another according to their respective situations.

Gao Yao took a quick look, and the things that belong to Guangfu belong to Guangfu, and the things that belong to Hakka belong to Hakka...

It's not easy to change people's hearts these days for nothing, and only through righteousness can we barely unite them in one place.

"Everyone."

When everyone was seated, Lam Dehou, the current chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, stood up and clasped his fists: "It's rare that all the sages are here, so I, Mr. Lin, can offer some advice."

Those who can sit here today are all powerful locals in Kowloon. They are absolute country squires and social sages.

Unless the initiator was a high-ranking official and the Hong Kong government knew the inside story, why would the Government-General's Office have asked the Government to send people to attend the meeting.

To become the chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, two conditions need to be met.

First, if you have money, you can make large donations to support the charitable causes of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

Second, be famous.

Since Lam Teck-hou can become the chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, he certainly meets the above two conditions.

There were few people present who did not know him.

Now seeing that Lin Dehou was the first to speak out, but Gao Yao did not make any objection, a group of people immediately understood that Lin Dehou was probably Dr. Gao's pawn.

At that moment, they all said: "What Chairman Lin threw out is still a piece of jade."

"Please speak, please speak."

It was natural that Lam Dehou was elected as the current chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. He sighed first and then said: "Everyone, there is something I really don't want to say."

"Nowadays, more and more people are coming to Hong Kong, people's livelihood is declining, and the economy is depressed."

The system implemented in Hong Kong Island at that time was actually authoritarian. The British still had many privileges in Hong Kong, and discrimination against the Chinese was endless.

In addition, Hong Kong Island itself has few resources, so Hong Kong Island is not the first choice for mainland wealthy people to immigrate.

At that time, the vast majority of Chinese capital in the world were overseas Chinese of Hokkien and Teochew origin located in Southeast Asia. These people brought their capital back to Hong Kong Island, Singapore, and Wanwan because of subsequent anti-Chinese reasons.

Because of the abundant input of funds and resources, Hong Kong Island, Singapore, Bay Area and other places have developed into countries and regions that can compete with the world's powers.

Most of the people who are currently coming to Hong Kong came to Hong Kong because of the failed monetary policy of the Nationalist Government. When they were on the mainland, they were already impoverished by the Nationalist Government, so they could only become refugees after coming to Hong Kong Island.

Lin Dehou said: "Everyone, I don't know if you have gone to Hong Kong Island to take a look."

Everyone looked at each other, Chairman Lin seemed to be telling a story.

In fact, it is not a story, but reality.

"Since this year to now."

Lin Dehou waved his right hand to strengthen his words: "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and the church provide food, clothing, quilts, and medicine to the victims, and at the same time open the church as a shelter."

"But this side of Kowloon."

Lin Dehou said: "I only saw the charity organizations organized by Dr. Gao and others doing things, and some rural affairs."

Everyone suddenly felt a little ashamed, this is a fact.

In terms of the seriousness of the matter, Kowloon far exceeds that of Hong Kong Island, because in recent years, Kowloon has received the largest number of refugees.

"Of course, this has nothing to do with you."

Lin Dehou said: "If the little devils hadn't forcibly dismantled the Lok Sin Tong in Kowloon, there would never have been such a situation where no one was in charge of the overall situation."

Since the emergence of Lok Sin Tong, it has become a charity representative in Kowloon, rivaling Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

It's just that the Lok Sin Tong has always been run by representatives from various townships, and the political atmosphere inside is quite strong, so it has been squeezed out by the Hong Kong government and the little devils one after another.

"That's what Chairman Lin said."

Jian Guanwen stood up. He was a teacher. As long as power was not involved, everyone naturally respected him.

“Now that citizens are displaced, the reconstruction of Lok Sin Tong cannot be delayed.”

"I think the Lok Sin Tong should be established today to accommodate the general public."

Everyone nodded. This was nonsense but it was not nonsense. Someone had to make a suggestion so that everyone could follow suit.

"Yes."

Now that we have talked about it, everyone said: "It's really hard now. The tenement buildings rented out have to be divided into rooms with wooden boards."

"A family of seven has one bed, and one building has to accommodate 72 tenants."

"Dozens of people share the same toilet and kitchen..."

That’s why Gao Yao opposed Wu Lide’s proposal and insisted on insisting on his idea of ​​public housing.

It is because the public housing built by Mr. Gao seems a bit shabby, but in this era, for many people, the public housing built by Mr. Gao is equivalent to paradise.

"Everyone."

Lin Dehou saw that everyone was aroused, and thought that he had finally lived up to Dr. Gao's trust, so he raised his hands and then lowered his hands: "Please listen to me."

The crowd was quiet.

Lin Dehou followed: "The current New Territories and Kowloon are no longer what they used to be. People come here from all over the world. A big banner is needed to bring peace to all parties."

"Dr. Gao, please take charge of the overall situation."

Bang bang bang, applause erupted.

Gao Yao stood up with a smile and said, "Chairman Lin said it well. I will lend him flowers and say a few words to the Buddha."

"Everyone, the Hong Kong government has always practiced rule by inaction in Kowloon."

Everyone nodded, why treat by doing nothing?

In fact, it just doesn't matter.

What Dr. Gao said is to give everyone a face. After all, everyone here needs to rely on the care of the Hong Kong government for food.

It is absolutely impossible to let them smash the bowl.

Gao Yao is also impossible...

"Mr. Lu, please tell the wise men about the recent situation." Lu Dachao then stood up: "Yes, President."

He lowered his hands and said: "Everyone, since the beginning of the new year, murders have occurred one after another in Fanling, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Tsuen Wan, Sai Kung and other places."

"The vast majority are due to robberies."

"What they robbed was not money, but rice and other food."

Everyone's expression changed. Although there were telephones and newspapers at that time, not everyone paid attention to everything.

The places Lu Dachao talked about are currently remote areas, and most of the people living there can be said to be locals.

Now that even locals are being killed, it shows that public security has deteriorated to a certain level.

Logically, this should be managed by the police.

The problem is that there are now nearly 200 million people in Hong Kong Island, and there are only more than 2000 police officers. How can they control it?

By the time the notified police arrived, the culprits had already fled.

Since the police cannot penetrate deeply, there are only two organizations that can bear the responsibility, one is the triad and the other is the squire.

Triads had a long history of maintaining order, and the main body for squire deliberation was the Rural Affairs Committee.

In the past, the place where the rural affairs representatives of each village met was the Leshan Hall!

"Everyone."

Gao Yao then signaled Lu Dachao to sit down, and he then spoke: "During the war, due to the liquidation of the Japanese military government stationed in Hong Kong, our court affairs and manpower suffered unprecedented losses."

"Hate cannot be forgotten, but Leshan Hall cannot just disappear."

"Why did the sages establish Leshan Hall? Mr. Tan, please tell us."

Before the war, the Prime Minister of Lok Sin Tong, Jason Tan, stood up and said respectfully: "Dr. Gao, this is for the purpose of donating doctors, administering medicine, assisting with burials, and providing disaster relief."

"Thank you, please sit down."

Gao Yao said: "Everyone has also heard what Chairman Lin told Mr. Lu about the situation earlier."

"Now Kowloon is sitting in the crater of the volcano. Without dedicated guidance and rescue, the fire will break out at any time."

Everyone nodded, and someone among them shouted: "Dr. Gao, you are right."

"It's time for Leshan Hall to be reorganized."

"it is good!"

Gao Yao raised his right hand: "I propose that Kowloon Lok Sin Tong be rebuilt today."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The right hands were raised one after another, and the vote passed unanimously.

"very good."

Gao Yao nodded slightly to Lin Dehou: "Chairman Lin, please bear witness."

"I announce that Kowloon Lok Sin Tong has been officially rebuilt."

There was a roar, the applause was like thunder.

Although everyone who came here today knew what was going to happen and had known the outcome early on, they still felt happy to witness and participate in the reconstruction of Leshan Hall.

Today's Kowloon really needs Lok Sin Tong, a non-governmental organization with a great cause, to lead all parties to provide disaster relief.

Gao Yao smiled and clapped along. The charity organization Leshantang was originally established at the initiative of officials of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the operating income of Longjin Shiqiao Customs and the fair income of the market were used as the funds of Leshantang.

From the very beginning, it has gained great righteousness among the people of Kowloon!

This organization does not distinguish between household registration or region, and is widely trusted by villagers in Kowloon and the New Territories.

Its influence far exceeds the money empire currently maintained by Lu Dachao.

Now that Leshan Hall has been officially rebuilt, the next most important task is to elect the prime minister of the year.

Gao Yao had actually studied the procedures of Le Shan Tang, but he still named Jason Tan directly: "Mr. Tan, you were the prime minister of Le Shan Tang before the war, so why not let you popularize the procedures of Le Shan Tang. "

Before the war, three prime ministers came to visit, namely Gu Chaowen, a big gambler in Kowloon, Chen Zuze, a department store king in Kowloon, and Jason Tan.

In terms of momentum, Jason Tan is the weakest among the three.

As a result, Dr. Gao now named Jason Tan to speak one after another, obviously ignoring Gu Chaowen and Chen Zuze.

Everyone immediately understood. It seemed that these two people were not in Dr. Gao's eyes.

Gao Yao said nothing, but directly made everyone realize that Gu Chaowen and Chen Zuze had been excluded from the power hub of Leshan Hall.

Gu Chaowen and Chen Zuze were immediately on pins and needles.

"Yes, Doctor."

Although Jason Tan was a little confused, he was very sharp-tongued. He stood up and said, "Everyone."

"According to the regulations of Leshan Tong, each organization is currently composed of no more than 150 prime ministers of the year, and no more than 25 standing prime ministers are selected from them."

"These executive prime ministers will then form the executive prime minister's council to take charge of good causes."

"Among them, there is one chief minister and two deputy chief ministers. At the same time, there is a general supervisor and two deputy general supervisors to supervise the affairs of the church."

It’s roughly the same as what Gao Yao knows.

"At the same time, it is also necessary to set up rural representatives in Tsuen Wan, Ta Kwu Ling, Tsing Lan Shue, Ho Chung, Hang Hau and other places to represent the legacy of Lok Sin Tong serving the Chinese community when it was established."

This last one is what makes the Hong Kong government most unhappy.

Because the Municipal Government will also select rural affairs representatives in each township agreement.

But these rural affairs representatives often overlap with the rural representatives elected by Lok Sin Tong...

In other words, every time the Lok Sin Tong meets, the most powerful gentry in Kowloon and the New Territories are meeting.

How did the previous Hong Kong government suffer?

Otherwise, how could the little Japs forcefully demolish Leshan Hall?

Everyone nodded: "As it should be."

Most of the people here today have been elected prime minister, or have someone in their family who has been elected.

There really is no one who knows better than them.

"Dr. Gao, that's all."

"Thank you, please sit down."

Gao Yao then said: "Dear gentlemen, it is better to provide social services sooner rather than later."

"I think we will directly elect the prime minister today to serve the general public."

"Of course, of course."

Everyone shook their heads: "What Dr. Gao said is that it is our duty to serve the citizens."

Suddenly, Zhang Renlong, who had been silent in the crowd, stood up at the signal of the representative of the Liu family in Sheung Shui, New Territories.

He said: "My younger brother, Zhang Renlong, is the youngest here. I speak straightforwardly, and there is one thing I really don't want to say."

Zhang Renlong is indeed young, but he is very popular in the New Territories.

First, he was related by marriage to Gao Yao.

Secondly, he is the uncle chosen by the Liao family in Sheung Shui...

Thirdly, Zhang Renlong and Huang Keqiang were successful in rebuilding Shihu Ruins.

With all this, even if people here have never met Zhang Renlong, they definitely know this name.

"Please speak, please speak."

Zhang Renlong said: "A snake cannot survive without a head. I think that if Leshan Hall wants to go far, it must have a big brother to take the lead." (End of Chapter)
