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

Except for a small number of people who can stand on Victoria Peak and overlook the scenery of Hong Kong, Victoria Harbor is the best place for most Hong Kong people to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Standing here, the sea and the sky are on the same line!

The water flowing down from the Pearl River passes through Kap Shui Mun, enters Victoria Harbor from Tai Kwun, then flows into Lei Yue Mun through Kwun Tong Reservoir, and is finally blocked by Tung Lung Chau.

Rapid water comes in and slow water comes out. The water naturally forms two "curved water cornucopias" at the two turns in the middle.

This is the supreme pattern of affectionate water in Feng Shui - "Nine bends of water"!

"There is also a welcome and send-off match!"

The speaker was Li Huang Lanfang, who had not been seen for a long time!

The slight difference is that when she was on Hong Kong Island, she looked kind and kind, like a parent.

At this moment, his eyes looked sinister and his face was gloomy.

According to ancient times, appearances come from the heart, and they are true words.

Sitting opposite Li Huang Lanfang was an old man in his 50s. He was wearing black silk clothes, had a kind face, and had two walnuts in his left hand.

This person's name is Ge Zhaohuang, and he is the leader and president of the Hongmen Loyalty Association in Guangfu.

"President Ge."

“Tsim Sha Tsui on the north side of Victoria Harbor is convex, while Central is concave!”

Ge Zhaohuang laughed: "A match made in heaven."

After establishing the Loyalty Association, Ge moved his headquarters to No. 14, Baohua Zheng Street, Xiguan, Guangfu. Because of his strong men and horses, he was favored by military commanders such as Zheng Heying and He Chongxiao.

The loyalists with the endorsement acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Guangfu. They not only engaged in prostitution and gambling, but also disturbed the market.

As the leader of the Loyalty Society, Ge Zhaohuang was naturally proud of himself.

"That's what President Ge said."

Li Huang Lanfang was very disdainful deep down in his heart. This guy was really rude.

If it wasn't for the Li family's plan and she still needed this person's help, how could she be so willing to compromise with someone like Ge Zhaohuang?

If they were still on Hong Kong Island, the members of the Yu Li family would be nothing more than lackeys.

Thinking of what happened on Hong Kong Island, Li Huanglanfang couldn't help but feel hatred, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes.

Ge Zhaohuang saw it very clearly. He knew what the Li family wanted, but he was just pretending to be confused.

"President Ge, I have already established a line between heaven and earth with Mr. Liang."

After regaining his composure, Li Huang Lanfang spoke again: "It depends on what you want now."

"It's business, if you can make money, you can definitely make money."

In terms of wealth, Guangfu currently far exceeds that of Hong Kong Island.

The problem is that Guangfu is a place with many large water pipes and powerful people. It is really unfathomable.

For example, Ge Zhaohuang was sued to Luo Zhuoying, a senior official in Guangdong Province, for being too arrogant and was almost shot on the spot.

At that time, all I needed was Luo Zhuoying’s signature.

Fortunately, Zheng Heying of the military commander saw that Ge Zhaohuang was useful, so he came forward to intercede with Luo Zhuoying, explaining that Ge established the Loyalty Association with the approval of the military commander and was a peripheral organization of the military commander.

He also asked Gan Lichu to help and plead for mercy.

In this way, Ge Zhaohuang was lucky enough to survive.

Since then, Ge Zhaohuang, on the one hand, actively moved closer to the military command, and on the other hand, he tried to find ways to expand his financial resources.

It was also because of this that Ge Zhaohuang became involved with the Li family.

After all, the yellow arsenic in Lijia's hands is famous for being of top quality.

"I don't want to talk about other aspects."

After experiencing Luo Zhuoying's incident, Ge Zhaohuang was very aware of the power of local snakes. He knew that the hatred between the Li family and the Gao family was as deep as the sea.

And because of Tang Shuiying, Ge Zhaohuang knew that Dr. Gao was simply a local emperor in Hong Kong Island.

As the saying goes, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes. Could it be that for such a small amount of money, he would go into battle for the Li family?

The benefits are not enough!

"The old woman is just a businessman."

Li Huang Lanfang sneered in her heart, since the fish has bitten the bait, can you avoid it if you want?

Ge Zhaohuang laughed: "Yes, everyone is a businessman."

"Now that the gold business is so popular, it is a first-class business, no less than smuggling American goods such as cars."

"Old madam, your family is really doing great things."

Currently, the number one business for people in Guangfu official circles is smuggling.

Its smuggling content is all-encompassing, but generally it is mainly American goods.

That profit makes the God of Wealth drool when he sees it.

Ge Zhaohuang gave a thumbs up: "You can even get in Mr. Liang's way, that's amazing."

Mr. Liang is Liang Chang, also known as Liang Runchang.

In 1942, he was recruited by Ma Naiguang to join the British Army Service Corps. Later, he used a grocery store as a cover to secretly collect Japanese intelligence and assist Allied personnel to escape from occupied areas with the help of military operatives on Hong Kong Island.

Because of his relationship as an intelligence officer of the British Army Service Corps, this person had access to confidential documents from the British. He learned that the British would recognize old Hong Kong banknotes after the war, so he went everywhere to buy up the old banknotes that had become waste because the Japanese army replaced them with military notes. of Hong Kong banknotes and became rich overnight.

Haojiang's gold smuggling business has its share.

At the same time, Liang Chang had a very good personal relationship with Lao Luo Bao of Haojiang.

Ge Zhaohuang did not know these contents, but he knew that Liang Chang had a very good relationship with the military commander and had great power in Haojiang.

He felt quite lucky as he followed.

With such a deep network of connections, the Li family was kicked out of Hong Kong Island by the Gao family. You can imagine how sharp they are.

"In business, the most important thing is the care of all parties."

Li Huang Lanfang laughed at herself: "The old woman has no chance to go to Hong Kong Island."

"It's you, President Ge."

She looked longingly: "From Admiralty to Causeway Bay, the prosperity of that area exceeds that of Xiguan."

"well."

Ge Zhaohuang laughed and said, "If you have time, you must go over and have a look."

……

“From Admiralty to Central to Tsim Sha Tsui to Causeway Bay.”

Coincidentally, Gao Yao, who took Lu Dachao and Gao Jin for a walk in Tsim Sha Tsui, also expressed emotion: "There are only so many rich places in Hong Kong Island."

"You can see through it at a glance."

No matter now or in the future, these places mentioned by Gao have always been the richest places in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

It can be said to be the most blessed place in Hong Kong and Kowloon!

"From now on, this place belongs to the Gao family."

The mainland tide was greatly shocked, and the master’s appetite was unprecedented.

"Be united."

Gao Yao looked at the sea.

In fact, the current Chinese people are very united, especially those overseas. Not only are they united, but they are also very aggressive towards others.

Whether it's the London gang or the American mafia, they all believe in a dogma: don't mess with the Chinese.

Especially don't steal business from Chinatown.

The problem is that unity in Chinatown is one-sided.

They are united by their local accent and region. Other than that, they will not be regarded as one of their own.

It was also because of this that the ghost guy saw the opportunity to have both sides.

Otherwise, here in Hong Kong Island, whether it is politics or economy, there is no reason to let the Westerners dominate!

Gao Yao was very aware of the situation here. Before this, it would not have been easy to get everyone together.

Fortunately, the East will rise next year, and the Chinese people will stand up from then on.

"We must unite."

Lu Dachao and Gao Jin both bowed: "I understand, we must unite."

Gao Yao smiled slightly, and then he said to Lu Dachao: "Directors cannot be left alone."

"You are also a local snake, go and accompany everyone for me."

The Lok Sin Tong group is definitely the most powerful and powerful people in the New Territories and Kowloon. Let’s not talk about the older generation, but only the younger generation, such as Zhang Renlong, Chen Yaxin, etc.

They seem to be young people, but they are absolutely indistinguishable in the local area, and those who can be called out are all strong country boys. Unlike the older generation, they can also call out people, but if they call out, I am afraid that nine out of ten people will be middle-aged or above...

Because there is a generation gap between young people and them...

Therefore, it was a bit exaggerated for Chan Yat Sun to say that he was almost beaten by a foreign boy. In Tuen Mun, Chan Yat Sun had no problem walking sideways.

It's just that this young boy is sharp and keeping up with Gao Yao's rhythm.

Since he is so sensible and eye-catching, Gao Yao will not really show off his prestige as prime minister.

Calculating the time, Gao Yao said to Lu Dachao: "They should have almost reached the point of discussion."

Lu Dachao was startled. His eyes were a little confused, and then they gradually became clear.

"It's not easy to take power from others."

Gao Yao said with a smile: "But I believe they will figure it out."

A group of squires did discuss it.

"It coincides with major changes not seen in a century."

"I heard that the local tycoons in the north were killed to divide the land, and there was also a return group."

This group of squires in the New Territories seems to stay at home, but this is not the case. At the very least, they have frequent exchanges with Guangfu.

And they will also take the initiative to send their promising children to study abroad.

So they are very well-informed, especially the news from the north. They pay attention to it every day.

“More and more refugees are crossing the border.”

Representative of the Sheung Shui Liao Family said: "It is indeed difficult to protect the village by relying solely on the security teams of each village."

It is said to be a security team, but in fact it is the security team of each village.

As for protecting the hometown...

It is better to say that it is to protect the family wealth of the major surnames.

Fanling Peng also said: "There are only five of us here."

The five major clans in the New Territories cannot be said to be in the same spirit, and they are often at odds with each other. However, in terms of the overall situation, the five major clans have always been consistent in dealing with the outside world.

This is the main reason why they have been able to survive in the New Territories for hundreds of years.

"Our opinions represent the entire New Territories."

Even if the five major clans decline again, they will still be the hegemons in the New Territories.

So Fanling Peng's words are really correct.

"Well, I'm the youngest one. If it's hard to speak, I'll do it first."

The representative sent by the Fanling Peng family is Sanfang, who is in his 30s. Compared with the other four companies, he is indeed a generation younger.

However, the other three families will not underestimate him. Because of the golf course in Fanling, the Peng family has benefited a lot from the ghost guy.

If you have money and power, you can speak loudly.

Fanling Pang said: "The doctor obviously wants to reach into the New Territories."

"To be honest, I'm very unhappy. This is treating us like dead people."

The other four were silent.

"But there's nothing we can do."

Mr. Peng from Fanling said: "The power of doctors is too great. Those who go to Kowloon to start work in Fanling will most likely be in the doctor's department."

This is a natural thing.

The black and white roads in Kowloon are almost owned by Gao Yao, and these two forces control the livelihood of the people.

As long as it starts work under their banner, it is equivalent to helping Dr. Gao start work.

The other four people also smiled bitterly: "It's almost the same."

Before the Japanese occupation, some villagers went to Kowloon to start work, but overall they were in the minority.

Because of the Japanese occupation, the rural areas of the New Territories were often subjected to the Three-Guang policy. The villagers were really miserable. They really had no way to survive solely on the fields. These five major clans were also raided during the Japanese occupation. , it was difficult for them to support the villagers.

Therefore, we can only allow the villagers to go out to work.

Those who go out to work must be strong laborers, and they are also the absolute foundation of the five major clans.

Once a person goes out, his thoughts are completely different. Even after he comes back, he is not likely to listen to the clan's greetings.

"If you ask me, the Doctor is indeed ambitious."

"but!"

Mrs. Peng of Fanling said: "If the doctor does this well, the villagers will be at home."

"As long as you're at home, you have to listen to us, right?"

The other four people nodded slightly. They were right. As long as people are in their hometown, they will definitely be under the jurisdiction of each clan.

"It's nothing more than being the doctor's worshipper."

Fanling Peng said: "The Governor of Hong Kong can't defeat Dr. Now that he is gaining momentum, I think it's better to follow him first."

"It's almost the same."

Sheung Shui Liao agreed: "We have always been at the back."

"The New Territories are going through great changes this time, and it's a good thing that the Doctor is willing to come forward."

"Anyway..."

"We are the locals," he said meaningfully.

The other four people nodded with smiles: "That's the truth."

"It's just for young people to have a try. If we hit the south wall, it can also show our ability."

"If we break out of a bright road, we will live up to our ancestors and fellow villagers."

This is why Gao Yao is certain that all clans will be willing to participate.

He neither seeks out local tyrants nor divides the land, but integrates the resources of the New Territories in a commercial way, hoping to lead the local people on a new path.

"As for the patrol..."

The five people smiled one after another: "When the time comes, we can naturally arrange for members of the tribe to work part-time, and they can also be of great help to the doctor."

A group of people had made up their mind, and they all wanted to be the prostitutes and prepared to parade through the streets on horseback.

Several of them are over 5 years old, but their bodies are still strong and they can ride horses with ease.

When the mainland tide arrived, a group of squires who were slowly harvesting were eating grapes or seafood, all in high spirits, being served by various beauties.

During this period, Mrs. Peng of Fanling couldn't help but sigh: "Although the little widows and eldest daughters-in-law in the countryside are also very juicy, they are so tender that they can squeeze out water."

"It's just that it has to be these Qingyi people in the city."

Now that the business has been settled, everyone naturally goes wild, as absurd as they want.

After the boy came in and announced the arrival of Lu Dachao, these people all started to dress again.

"Brother Chao."

Everyone walked out and bowed their hands to Lu Dachao who was drinking tea: "Thank you for your hospitality."

Seeing these people's faces glowing red, Lu Dachao smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Everyone laughed endlessly: "I heard that the one who trains the little lady here is a gold medal aunt from Shek Tong Tsui?"

"Technology is a must."

In the early years, Shek Tong Tsui was a famous fireworks destination on Hong Kong Island. The gold medal aunt there was so famous that even wealthy businessmen from Guangfu and Haojiang came to seek her fame.

Because the sea breeze in Shek Tong Tsui was very strong and the salty smell was very strong, some people at that time called these fragrance seekers the salty and wet people.

"The first game is just to relax your muscles and bones."

As soon as Lu Dachao entered the world, he was very proficient in the world. He smiled at everyone and said, "There is a new dance hall in Kowloon."

"Let's go try something new." (End of chapter)
