My god, run!!!

After several months of long journeys, thousands of miles and untold hardships, we finally arrived not far from Shuang'er Mountain today. As long as we pass this village, we will reach Shuang'er Mountain. From a distance, this mountain looks really big.

Everyone was extremely happy and excited about arriving at Shuang'er Mountain, especially Hua Rong and Yi Pao, who hugged each other to celebrate.

In fact, Zhou Zheng came here from afar and chose Shuang'er Mountain for a purpose, which was to prepare for the protracted war that would take place in a few years.

Therefore, Shuang'er Mountain must be taken and used as a base to train a large number of independent military personnel, and to stockpile large quantities of weapons, ammunition, food, medical supplies, cloth, cotton, oil, coal, etc. Everything must be stockpiled in large quantities.

Stockpiling these things is not a matter of one day or one night, it takes time, although Zhou Zheng now has plenty of money and has stored a large amount of supplies.

However, the amount of supplies consumed during wartime can be described as horrific. This massive amount of supplies really doesn't last very long. Therefore, Zhou Zheng has a strong sense of danger and must prepare for everything.

After taking over Shuang'er Mountain and settling it down completely, Zhou Zheng will go out and buy...buy...buy..., he will buy a lot of things. Anyway, Zhou Zheng has plenty of money, and things that can be solved with money are all small things and there will be no problem at all.

Especially in this era, the government is overrun with corrupt officials, from top to bottom. The Kuomintang is also known as the "Squeeze the Kuomintang" because they exploit the people's wealth nationwide, layer upon layer. They also impose extortionate taxes and levies, and their corruption is ingrained and beyond redemption.

So Zhou Zheng had to scrape off layer after layer of money from them before he looted all the military supply depots of the National Army and took away everything he could.

For wealthy people like Zhou Zheng, money makes the world go round. They can accomplish anything, and do it well. This has been the case since ancient times; this is the benefit of having money.

Following Zhou Zheng's command to head towards the village ahead, the seven people rode their horses towards the village ahead.

After a while, we arrived at the entrance of the village and saw a huge gate made of fine wood standing at the entrance of the village, with three big words "Qianjia Village" written on it.

I saw people coming and going at the entrance of Qianjia Village, it was very lively. It became even more lively when I walked into Qianjia Village. I walked around and looked around.

The entire Qianjia Village is quite large, just like a big market. There are all kinds of people here, as well as big restaurants, hotels, escort agencies and so on.

My goodness, this is not even a village, it's a county town.

Zhou Zheng and his group came to the largest restaurant here, went up to the second floor, asked for a large private room, and asked the waiter to bring up all the good wine and food.

By the way, I gave the waiter a tip of 1 dollar. The waiter was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He nodded and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. Good wine and delicious food will be served to you soon." After that, he left the private room.

After a while, the waiter brought up the delicious food and wine, and told the guests to eat slowly and carefully, and to call him if they had any problems. After that, he prepared to leave the private room.

But at this time, the waiter was stopped by Zhou Zheng, who asked him about the situation in Qianjiazhuang. He said, "We are merchants and have prepared a batch of goods. We heard that the mountain opposite is not safe, so...

When Zhou Zheng said this, the waiter immediately understood and introduced the past of Qianjiazhuang to Zhou Zheng and others.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a traveling merchant passed by Qianjia Village. At that time, Qianjia Village was in a dilapidated state. The traveling merchant saw many people gathered here and wondered if there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After asking, I found out that these people were trying to cross the mountain. There were bandits on the opposite mountain. It was unsafe to walk alone with a small group, so they gathered together and waited until there were more people before crossing the mountain together. They could take care of each other and it would be safer.

The traveling merchant's eyes turned and an idea suddenly came to him. He thought, what if I build a hotel, a restaurant, and a market warehouse to store goods here?

Wouldn’t that provide a place for these passing travelers and traveling merchants to rest?

Wouldn't they just stop by my place, stay, eat and sleep? And maybe open an escort agency and hire escorts? Wouldn't that mean I could make tons of money? Just thinking about it makes me happy.

This itinerant merchant did what he said. He called all his family members to help, spent all his savings, and hired many craftsmen to build inns, restaurants, houses, etc. In less than half a year, the village had grown to a certain scale, and then the itinerant merchants and passing travelers would stop by here to rest.

Those who wanted to hire an escort agency hired an escort agency, and those who wanted to hire a guard hired a guard. After hundreds or thousands of years of development, the company has grown to its current size.

Also, the traveling merchant's surname was Qian, and Qianjia Village was built by this man surnamed Qian. This restaurant also belongs to the Qian family, and I am also a member of the Qian family.

After saying this, the waiter puffed out his chest proudly.

"Well...thank you for explaining it to us in such detail, waiter. Here...this dollar is a tip for you.

The waiter was so happy that his face broke after receiving a dollar from Zhou Zheng. He hurriedly thanked Zhou Zheng, saying that he was a wealthy man.

Zhou Zheng said you're welcome, and then asked the waiter if he knew anyone who had a house for rent. He said we want to rent a house with a yard to use for business.

The waiter said, "I know this guy. Please start eating first. I'll go and order the food for you. It will be here soon." Then he left the private room.
