Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

As long as Ye Yunfei really values ​​his word and keeps his promise, then this matter will definitely be a great thing for them.

So, after listening to Shangguan Tiance's words, they were not worried for the time being.

We’ll talk about everything later.

……

The next day, Ye Yunfei went to the Guoshang Bank, where Shangguan Tiance and three others personally received him.

Since we had already discussed it yesterday, there was no extra nonsense and we just signed the loan contract directly.

Finally, 10 million yuan of funds has been obtained.

After getting the money, he returned to Lido.

Ye Yunfei is very excited now, as the 30 million military funds have been collected.

The military funds have been gathered, and now as long as we have enough people, we can directly open fire on Wu Fatian.

He called Zhao Huanyu over and said, "Huanyu, come on, let's go to a place."

Zhao Huanyu said, "Where are you going, Brother Fei?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Go to Jiangnan or Jiangbei."

He planned to go to the south and north of the Yangtze River to see how Xu Wenqiang was recruiting soldiers.

There is enough money, and the most urgent task now is to recruit soldiers. Xu Wenqiang has been recruiting soldiers in the south and north of the Yangtze River recently. He doesn't know how the recruitment is going now, so he has to go and take a look.

There is one more thing.

Since he occupied the south and north of the Jiangnan region, he has never been to these two provinces. Now he has time to go and take a look.

After all, Jiangnan and Jiangbei are now his territories, and the scope of Jiangnan and Jiangbei is even larger than that of Shanghai.

Although it is not as wealthy as Shanghai, it is also a very important place and it is worth visiting.

Immediately, Ye Yunfei took Zhao Huanyu on a train and went to the south and north of the Yangtze River.

When he went there, he did not greet Xu Wenqiang. His main purpose was to investigate secretly to see how Xu Wenqiang managed Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

Of course, he absolutely trusted Xu Wenqiang, but the two areas of Jiangnan and Jiangbei have always been quite poor.

Now he just wants to know the real development of Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

Taking the train, Ye Yunfei and Zhao Huanyu arrived in Jiangnan.

This is a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province.

The county looked pretty good, with people coming and going on the streets. There were also many vendors selling things on both sides of the road.

There are also many shops on the street, creating a very lively scene.

Ye Yunfei walked around the street and then walked into a restaurant.

This is a very simple and ordinary restaurant. Most of the people who come here to eat are very ordinary and lower-class people.

After Ye Yunfei went in, a girl in red clothes and two ponytails came over and said, "My two guests, what would you like to eat?"

Ye Yunfei took a look at the girl with ponytail. Although she was dressed very ordinary with patches on her clothes, she was very beautiful with a pair of bright eyes that were full of spirit.

Ye Yunfei said: "Hello, may I ask if you are the boss here, young lady?"

The girl said: "No, my dad is the boss, I just came to help my dad."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "So that's how it is. What about your father?"

The girl said, "He is busy in the kitchen. What's the matter, sir? What do you want to talk to my father about?"

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask some questions."

The girl said, "You can ask me. I know everything about this place."

Ye Yunfei said, "Really? Well, let's order the dishes first, and then ask the girl after we order the dishes."

After saying that, Ye Yunfei ordered a few dishes at random.

After ordering, he said, "Miss, do you know who is in charge of this county now?"

The girl said, "Yes, they are from Longmen. I think everyone knows this."

"The one who managed our county before was Zhao Mingfei. Later, Zhao Mingfei's army was defeated by Longmen, so the entire Jiangbei was occupied by Longmen."

"The people who are managing the entire county now are from Longmen."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Then what do you think about Longmen managing your county?"

"Have they treated ordinary people like you well? Also, have they become better or worse than when Zhao Mingfei was in charge?"

Hearing Ye Yunfei's question, the girl frowned slightly and said, "Sir, I don't know how to answer this question."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, just tell the truth. I'm just a little curious."

The girl looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "Are you just curious? You must have a reason for asking this question, otherwise why would you ask these questions?"

"Besides, since you ask this kind of question, you must be from another place, not a local."

This girl is quite smart. Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Yes, you guessed right, girl. I am from another place and want to do business in Jiangbei. I want to see if the environment here is good and whether I can do business."

“If the environment is not good, forget it, so as not to lose money, so I asked the girl.”

The girl said, "So that's how it is. I understand. Then I will tell you the truth."

"Overall, Longmen's management of Jiangbei is still good. After taking over Jiangbei, Longmen exempted us from taxes for two years, which relieved us of a lot of pressure."

"Moreover, if we encounter any troubles in life, they will also help us and provide us with relief."

“Overall, it’s OK.”

Ye Yunfei said: "So, Longmen's management of Jiangbei is much better than when Zhao Mingfei was in charge before."

The girl said, "It is much better. Zhao Mingfei's tax collection alone is several times higher than Longmen's. Under his management, we can't even afford to eat."

“Longmen is relatively much better.”

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Is that so? That's good. It looks like I can do business here."

The girl was silent for a while before she said, "Jiangbei is indeed better now than before, but if you want to do business, I think you'd better think about it."

Ye Yunfei frowned when he heard this and said, "Why? Didn't you say that this place is pretty good now? Why do you have to consider it?"

The girl said, "Longmen's management is generally good, but there is one problem."

Ye Yunfei asked: "What's the problem?"

The girl opened her mouth but didn't say anything, as if she was afraid.

Ye Yunfei looked at the girl and said, "Girl, you look like you have something to hide."

"If you have any trouble, you can just tell me and let me know. Then I can decide whether to stay in Jiangbei or not."

The girl said: "Longmen is generally a good place, but there is one person in Longmen who is very bad."
