Chapter 347 Special Banquet

Wu Ren quickly found a reason to celebrate.

With the completion of the County Governor's Mansion and Liaodong Academy, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce also built a building that it had bought land and financed.

The reason for the celebration was the joy of the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building, and the celebration location was Tianshui New Village.

It was so simple and crude!

After the celebration was decided, Wu Ren led his subordinates to start preparations.

Because part of the function of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is to purchase, they don't want too many things in their warehouse.

A long list of things to be used for the banquet was opened, and after the list was opened, someone was responsible for picking up the goods from the warehouse.

The members who participated in this action, whether indirectly or directly, were notified to return to Houcheng one after another.

The three brothers of the Qin family were also secretly notified to return to Houcheng.

Knowing that a hundred tables of banquets were to be held, Qin Zhao even organized people to go into the mountains for autumn hunting.

They went out for a day, starting in the morning and returning in the evening.

A total of seven wild boars were hunted, including four large wild boars and three small wild boars. There were also five roe deer, fifty-three rabbits, seventy pheasants, and a number of other wild animals.

Everyone else was very happy, except Qin Zhao, who was not very satisfied with the prey he had hunted. At this time, he missed his little six very much. If it was little six who led people to hunt, the prey would have doubled.

The head chef of this banquet was Master Chen. In addition to him, Wu Ren also personally went to the major restaurants in Liaodong County to invite four or five chefs to help.

The banquet was held in the large courtyard in front of the comprehensive ancestral hall of Tianshui New Village.

This courtyard was built large enough. To the south was the Lu family private school, and to the north was the comprehensive ancestral hall behind a screen wall.

All the households in Tianshui New Village were newly moved. The establishment of the comprehensive ancestral hall took into account their need to worship their ancestors. Each of their households can offer a tablet to their ancestors in the comprehensive ancestral hall.

This place is considered a public activity area in Tianshui New Village. During the autumn harvest, this courtyard can also be used as a drying field.

According to Wu Ren's statistics, they decided to set up 100 tables for this banquet.

Because there are more than 500 members of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce at present, and there are also business guests who will be invited to the banquet.

For this banquet, they even temporarily built a porch and built ten stoves beside the courtyard.

Two or three days before the banquet was decided, Tianshui New Village was full of joy. Women like Mrs. Xu brought their own small stools to help spontaneously every day.

Washing and brushing, killing chickens and ducks.

Everyone talked and laughed while working.

"I heard from my son that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money this time, so they wanted to take advantage of the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building to set up 100 tables to celebrate."

"I heard that after this banquet, there will be another welfare distribution."

"I wonder what will be distributed?"

"No matter what, the people above will definitely not treat us badly."

With the return of Wu Ren and his party, the news of the Southland also spread in a small range.

The managers of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, big and small, all vaguely knew that their Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's pills, books, paper, threshers, etc., sold very well in the south and made a lot of money.

As for the inside story of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce going to the south, only the core management personnel knew it.

In Tianshui New Village, many young people were absorbed into Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. Those with ability were arranged to be managers one by one. Those with no ability worked in workshops, such as paper mills, breeding workshops, etc., and being a small worker was also good. Therefore, these wives and aunts in the village were well-informed.

On the day of the banquet, Tianshui New Village was really lively.

The banquet started at 1:00 noon and lasted until the evening.

At the evening, dusk enveloped the earth.

There was a special table, which was not placed in the open courtyard, but in the house.

Those present were all core members of their group.

When Le Guicai was invited into the house, he saw everyone and his eyelids jumped.

He recognized the people in the room at a glance, the county lieutenant Xu Zheng, the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Wu Ren; in addition, there were the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin, Zhou Da and other outstanding soldiers in the army; Lu Wei and Xiao Kun, one kind and the other serious, although he didn't know them, but they didn't look like ordinary people.

They were obviously familiar with each other, and they gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

Qin Zhao pulled him over.

They chatted for a while, and the boy outside the door shouted, "Lord Lu, Madam Qin Liu is here!"

Everyone heard it and quickly tidied up their clothes.

Le Guicai was a little puzzled. Lord Lu was the governor of Liaodong County, and he should be the last to arrive, but Madam Qin Liu, who?

Just as he was puzzled, Lord Lu came in with a woman, and that woman should be Madam Qin Liu, but she was half a step behind Lord Lu.

But what he didn't understand was why there was a woman among the important people in this room? And everyone seemed to be used to it? He carefully identified this woman and realized that she was the daughter of Lord Lu! She seemed to be married to Qin Liu?

The Qin family is still guilty, but she is called the Sixth Lady? Is it because of her identity?

"Everyone, please don't be polite, please take your seats!"

As he spoke, Lu Desheng sat in the first seat, Lu Songli sat on the left, and Qin Heng sat on the right. If Qin Sheng was in Liaodong County, this seat should be his.

Then Qin Yan, Qin Zhao, Wu Ren, Ma Jin, Zhou Da, Lu Wei, Xu Zheng, Xiao Kun and others took their seats in turn.

Unfortunately, Xue Xu, Qin Sheng and Yang Wei were not there.

Le Guicai was the last person to take the seat, and everyone looked at him.

Except for Le Guicai, almost everyone present was a key figure on the road to exile.

The reason why Lv Songli asked Wu Ren to invite him was because he could not hide the small actions of the Lv and Qin families. Rather than letting him have a grudge in the future, it is better to let him express his position now.

Le Guicai has seen the changes in Liaodong County. Compared with the previous county governor, the new county governor Lv Desheng is undoubtedly much better.

Now with such an arrangement, it is obvious that Lv Desheng wants to pull him on board.

Isn't it just joining a small group? He can.

Le Guicai took a seat silently.

His actions fell into the eyes of everyone.

At this time, Lv Songli picked up the wine glass, stood up, and looked at everyone with a smile.

Except for Le Guicai, everyone else present was an old partner. After arriving in Liaodong County, these people have achieved some success in the military, politics, and business.

Xu Zhengzheng has become the county lieutenant, Wu Ren is now the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin and Zhou Da, have a large number of supporters in the army.

For example, Lu Wei, Xiao Kun and others are also one of the leaders of each department in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, the current Houcheng County Magistrate Guo Chunsheng, Wuliu County Magistrate Liu Heshan, Wangping County Magistrate Chen Ping, and Chief Clerk Li Dan are all pro-Lü factions.

If a table of deputy seats is prepared, they can also attend.
