During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

After Zhao Gang washed up and changed his clothes, his father walked in.

When Xiao Cui saw this, she quickly bowed to Mr. Zhao.

"Hello, sir."

"Well, go ahead and do your work. I have something to say to my son."

Mr. Zhao asked Xiao Cui to leave. He had something to say to his son who had just woken up.

"Yes, sir."

Xiao Cui left and closed the door gently to prevent the sound of her talking from being heard.

Zhao Gang saw Xiao Cui close the door, then he asked.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

"Butler Liu just told me that you went to the coal mine in the back mountain?"

"Why are you so interested in mineral resources?"

He was puzzled. His son, who had just woken up, was no longer stupid, but also not so obedient.

"Dad, you seem to have forgotten the most important question. These aren't the important questions you're asking."

Mr. Zhao was a little confused and hadn't figured out what the most important question was, so he had to ask.

"So what should I ask?"

"I suddenly woke up and stopped being stupid. Aren't you curious?"

"I am curious, but you are indeed my son. Even if I am curious, there is no need for me to ask you about it."

So this is it. He was naturally curious, but how could this son become someone else's?

"What makes me feel relieved is that you are finally not stupid anymore, and our Zhao family's huge fortune has someone to inherit."

He said this with a smile, looking like a kind father.

"Dad, have I been stupid since I was a child or did I become stupid suddenly?"

"I really want to know about my past."

When Grandpa Zhao heard him ask this, he started to tell him the story.

"Actually, this has something to do with your mother. When you were five years old, your mother suddenly died of illness. This was a huge blow to you, and you became a fool overnight."

"He can't speak clearly, his eyes are slanted, and most importantly, he drools."

"It's commonly known as a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and a stupid brain."

"It took me many years and a lot of money to fix your squint and crooked mouth."

"When you were 12, you were no different from a normal person. As long as you didn't speak, no one would know whether you were a fool or not."

"I saw that you were lonely, so I bought you a maid to keep you company. She's Xiao Cui."

"Of course she came earlier. She became your personal maid when she was 12 years old."

"Only those who have been nurtured since childhood will be loyal to you and treat you well. I'm just worried that if I'm gone, no one will take care of you."

"Recently, you fainted again due to a cold, but when you woke up, the way you looked at people and the way you spoke changed."

"Although I'm just a small village chief, or a small landowner in other people's eyes, I have good judgment and I can tell at a glance that you're different from usual."

"Dad, you have a good eye. I am indeed different."

"I can tell you very clearly that although I have been stupid for so many years, my soul is not."

"My soul has been through a lot in the other world over the years. I joined the army there, fought in wars all over the world, and finally a shell sent me back."

"You know what? When I woke up, I was confused because I had no memory of what was happening at home."

Mr. Zhao was even more confused than he was.

"No, my son actually had such an adventure?"

"Yes, you'll see more later."

"I'm telling you this in advance. From tomorrow on, the coal mine in the back mountain will be mine."

The news shocked him.

He began to have doubts in his heart as to whether his son was really his son.

"Don't worry, the body is still your son, and the soul has been sent back."

"You can understand it as a returning soul or possession, but it all means the same thing. I'm a person with a new personal consciousness. I'm no longer the silly young master of the landlord's family."

Mr. Zhao was very smart and immediately understood what his son meant.

"Son, I don't care about that. No matter what you say, he is still my son."

"It's just that it's inappropriate for you to attack the coal mine as soon as you wake up."

"Because although our family has some strength, we can't fight against the security group in the county."

"You probably already know that the coal mine business belongs to the security group."

"There are 2000 of them. Even though they are a mob, they are still enough to deal with our family."

He hurriedly tried to persuade his son, who had just woken up, not to make a fuss. This was no joke and could kill people.

"Don't worry about that. 3000 people will attack the coal mine at this time tomorrow. You just need to evacuate your own people and don't hurt them by mistake."

"Also, I'm sure you know which members of our family are sincere and which are sent by the enemy."

"You write out a list and give it to me, and I'll send someone to clear them all out."

"I don't allow anyone who is unfaithful in my family."

"Well, my son is really amazing."

"But I can't give it to you right away. If you can really take over the coal mine tomorrow and have 3000 men under your command, I'll give it to you."

"I don't care where your people come from, because I only care about the results, not the process."

After he finished speaking, he began to talk to his son about the family’s financial situation.

"Okay, let's talk about our family's wealth. I'm sure Xiao Cui has told you some."

"Since you are no longer stupid, you have the right to take over these things, and I can have a good rest. I have been exhausted these years."

"Our family now has a total of 30 yuan in cash, 100 large yellow croakers and 500 small yellow croakers, 500 mu of fertile land, and 300 tenant farmers."

"There are five shops in the ancient town, selling rice, flour, grain, oil, daily necessities, and cloth."

"There are 10 shops in the county town, and their business is similar to this one, but the scale is different. They all purchase goods from the same channel."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang did some calculations in his mind and realized that it was impossible to make so much money from this industry.

"Dad, please don't fool me. How can you make so much money from such a small business?"

"I also have a restaurant and a teahouse in the county town. All of these businesses are also in the provincial capital, and the scale is even larger than the county ones."

"The business in the provincial capital is managed by a dedicated shopkeeper, and the business in the county town is managed by people sent by Butler Liu."

"I'm the one who manages the ancient town because there's less business here and I can still manage it. Besides, I don't want to take a break."

"Okay, so how do you know that everyone is not deceiving you and that the accounts are correct?"

"Because I control the purchasing channels, I will settle the purchase ledger with them once a year."

"I take the purchase ledger and then go back to do the accounting. As long as I know how much was sold or how much is left, I can know if the account is correct."

"Because the sales price is uniform, it is easy to calculate."

"This is what the supplier requires, because this is the price across the country."

Zhao Gang didn't expect that there was already a retail industry at this time.
