To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Li Zhenxing was a man of the moment, his mind full of tricks, his eyes wide and his eyes sharp. He was even more stylish, wearing a long gown and a short jacket, a black satin hat, and smoking a cigarette. He smiled at everyone, but his smile concealed a knife. Back then, the big-nosed Russians and the small-nosed Japanese were at war, forcing civilians to build fortifications and rummaging through their boxes for liquor. The people suffered terribly.

Only Li Zhenxing made a fortune. He sold liquor mixed with cold water and befriended a big-nosed captain named Wei Duoski. The captain, with his hairy beard, drank himself intolerably and whipped his soldiers. Whenever he was pleased, he would pat Li Zhenxing on the shoulder and say, "Li, you have a lot of goodies." Li Zhenxing used the Daosheng Bank's goodies to bring home sacks of goods.

He lent out the Qiangtie at high interest, charging a three-tenths interest per month based on the value of grain. Not long after, Big Nose was defeated, and the Qiangtie became worthless, bankrupting many families. However, Li Zhenxing made a fortune, built a large courtyard, and bought a thousand mu of land. From then on, his fortunes continued to rise.

Li Zhenxing, with his quick wit, broad vision, and skillful tactics, cultivated connections with officials in Xinmin Prefecture, even purchasing a position as a deputy prefect of Zhili Prefecture and wearing the official hat and feather of a third-rank official. He married into a warlord family and, within twenty years, achieved great success. Besides his large country estate, he bought a mansion in Fengtian, acquired four thousand mu of land, and built fifty-six shanties there. He also owned businesses, a distillery, an oil mill, and a silk shop in both Xinmin Prefecture and Fengtian. The Li family was the preeminent household in Xinmin Prefecture, and even Li Wenting would have needed days of accounting to determine their grain and wealth.

Every year during the autumn harvest in the eighth lunar month, fifty-eight shacks would deliver grain to the Li family, and the rent-paying carts would line up for two miles. Those delivering grain to Fengtian Shaoguo were all under the Li family banner.

Li Zhenxing married a woman named Wu, a relative of the Wu family, a warlord in Heilongjiang Province. They had only one son, Li Wenting. Li Wenting was well-educated and, like his father, a man of great connections. He married Xu Huizhen, the daughter of the old Lerentang family. With the help of his father-in-law, he started a pharmaceutical business and established a factory that produced Zhixueling Baidusan, a medicine that became quite famous.

Xu Huizhen had been married to the Li family for three years without getting pregnant, which made her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, very anxious. She took two concubines for her son despite the objections of her son and daughter-in-law. She even got her son drunk and threw him into the concubines' room. It can be seen how difficult this old lady was to deal with. After thirteen attempts, only the third concubine gave birth to a girl like Li Chunxing.

Xu Huizhen gave birth to a son, Li Yujin, who is ten years old this year, two years younger than Li Chunxing. Mrs. Wu stopped making trouble when she saw that she had a grandson. She passed away with a smile on her face when Li Yujin was five years old.

Li Wenting and his family were speechless after receiving the memory. What kind of life-threatening thing could be worth spending 10,000 points?

The system cleared its throat. "His family was later ransacked by bandits, leaving no one alive. The mission is to escape and avenge their grievances." Li Yujin's situation wasn't particularly challenging; it was just a matter of eliminating a bandit. The system scoffed. "That's just the surface. The bandits were supported by Japan." The Li family's medicine was shipped in large quantities to the battlefield, harming Japan's interests. This was the reason for the Li family's annihilation.

The system reminds you again, it is February of 2011, you must work hard!

Looking at the zombie-like system, Li Wenting felt a headache. It seemed that a fight was about to break out. It would not be easy to escape from such a big mess as the Li family.

The original owner, Li Wenting, was well-connected, but he hated the Japanese and offended them in every way. The Japanese wanted to grow rice and took a fancy to the Li family's riverbed land, but Li Wenting naturally refused to take such fertile land, so he used all his connections to temporarily suppress the Japanese.

That's why the Japanese colluded with bandits to carry out crazy revenge on the Li family.

Li Wenting was so angry that his teeth were itching. He did not cause any trouble when he encountered the Japanese devils. When the country was poor and weak, the people lived like ants.

The Industrial Promotion Company run by Japanese ronin Watanabe Taro is frantically reclaiming farmland, and the Chinese people are in trouble. They say that reclamation is almost like robbery.

The original owner sensed danger and took his wife and children back to the countryside overnight in a red-draped carriage. While in Fengtian, he discovered numerous cannons stationed near Maluwan and frequent Japanese garrisons along the railway line. The Koreans had opened numerous casinos and brothels on the road to Beidaying, suggesting the Japanese in Fengtian were holding back. The original owner immediately thought of Xiaoluanjucheng and Daluanjuxiang, so he fled back to Sanjiagangzi and hid. But upon arriving in the countryside, his beloved son fell ill and was on the verge of death. Butler Liu offered a suggestion: "Children are good-looking, so could the young master have been struck by something unholy?" This led to the spectacle of shamanism that Li Yujin witnessed upon waking.

Li Yujin didn't need anyone to tell him that he was taking elixirs, spiritual spring water, and genetic modification fluid to regulate his body. Li Wenting also had to hurry to deal with the Li family's huge industry. No matter what, these things couldn't be left to the Japanese.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Xu Huizhen lazily woke up from the kang. Li Wenting had already put on his long gown and jacket, and was ready to take a car to Fengtian City to deal with his property, selling what needed to be sold and taking away what needed to be taken away.

Butler Liu was already waiting at the door of the main house. Li Wenting tidied his clothes. Butler Liu had already prepared the car. Old Zheng in the small kitchen prepared the meal and the maid Xiao Lingzi placed the food on the table. There was a dish of white meat and blood sausage, a dish of stir-fried liver, a dish of vermicelli stewed with sauerkraut, and a dish of freshly cooked tofu mixed with chili oil.

Li Chunxing was also called to come for dinner. Xu Huizhen was annoyed by the concubines arranged by the old lady, but the two concubines had died or dispersed, so she was not willing to make things difficult for a child.

I don't know how Chun Xing was educated by her mother-in-law. She is too soft-hearted and it gives Xu Huizhen a headache. She always teaches her mother-in-law, telling her not to look so soft-hearted or she will suffer if she gets married.

After Li Wenting finished his meal, housekeeper Liu and his men escorted him out. Ma, Sun, and his henchmen, Cao, and Yan, followed him, each carrying a mirror-mounted rifle.

The carriage was pulled by a yellow horse with a string of copper bells that jingled along the way. The coachman shouted at the animals, and the yellow horse's neighing seemed very majestic.

The red mop cart had a yellow silk curtain and a glass pane in the front. As I walked along, people working in the fields would straighten their backs and watch the excitement:

"Li Zhenxing is going to Fengtian, right? That's really impressive! It's strange that the Li family has become richer and richer since the death of Li Dabanzi. Is there something behind the burial of the Li family's ancestors?

Come on, there's a story behind it. Li Dabanzi was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat, but he is a well-connected person and his friends are all powerful people.

Yesterday I saw Butler Liu buy such a huge piece of pork. You know, even though it's not a festival, the Li family is the only one in Sanjiagang who opens their eyes and eats stewed meat so early in the morning. They're really living a busy life.
