Chapter 153 – Someone Come Here To Pick Up A Fight
Since Jiang Zhen began to work as a sea merchant, he has not been in charge of the affairs of the Jinzhen Escort Agency much, only keeping a eye on the general direction and personnel.
Although he was still a head of Jinzhen Escort Agency at present Zhao Jinge was basically in charge of the affairs of the escort agency.
Now that he was back, he didn’t want to interfere with the affairs of the escort agency so he just took his daughter and son around the Fucheng every day, and trained his men.
After a few days of playing like this, he got a little tired of it, so he asked Zhao Jinge to find a piece of land near the Fucheng to make a training ground to continue training his men.
“Land? I bought a mountain not long ago, I don’t know if I can use it. “ Zhao Jingo said.
The people of Daqi, were all very passionate about land and so was Zhao Jinge who liked buying land and couldn’t resist buying it after making money.

It was a pity that this was the Wexing Province and all best fields were already in hands of the big families, so he could not buy them even if he wanted to. He could only buy mountain land.
“You bought another mountain?” Jiang Zhen looked at Zhao Jinge helplessly, there were only a few mountains around Fucheng and almost all of them were bought by Zhao Jinge right?
“Mm-hmm.” Zhao Jinge nodded: “This mountain was very cheap. Although there not much that can be done there it can still be used to raise chickens and ducks so it will earn a little.”In fact, raising chickens and ducks earned quite a lot but Jiang Zhen business earned even more so it seemed that raising chickens and ducks was less profitable.
How much could be earn by raising chickens and ducks? Just a little bit, right? But this business could accommodate a lot of people… Jiang Zhen thought that many of his subordinates families seemed to work in chicken and ducks farms or brick kilns so he was very supportive of what Zhao Jinge was doing: “Then tomorrow, I will bring people to help you clear the land.”
“No, how can you go to do such a thing?” Zhao Jinge immediately refused, he couldn’t let Jiang Zhen go to cut down trees.
“I have nothing to do so I can take my men to practice and not work by myself.” Jiang Zhen said.
The people who followed Jiang Zhen to the sea have not been home for five or six months, so it was difficult for Jiang Zhen to ask them follow him everywhere for training so he let them go home. Now that he recruited more people, he intended to train them.
There were never too much manpower under his hands.
As soon as the news of Jinzhen Escort Agency recruitment was released, countless people came to sign up.
Although it was dangerous to work in the Jinzhen Escort Agency the income was very high so those who have no land were very willing to join Jinzhen Escort Agency.
This time, Jiang Zhen recruited more than 200 strong and healthy people, then took them to the mountain that Zhao Jinge just bought.
He couldn’t let the newcomers join the Jinzhen Escort Agency directly, he had to exercise and observe them first.
The barren mountain bought by Zhao Jinge was very big with many trees on it. Because there ware too many trees that covered the sun, there are no plants under the trees. The ground was full of fallen leaves.
In modern times, such a mountain full of trees would be very valuable, but now . . .
Since the mountain was full of trees it was impossible to grow crops and these trees only worth was firewood… Zhao Jinge bought this mountain very cheaply.
If he hadn’t thought that the trees on the mountain could be cut down for firewood, Zhao Jinge might not even bought such a mountain.
Jiang Zhen took the newcomers to the mountain and asked them to build houses first.
When they worked for two days straight building houses he let them go to cut the trees.
“Aren’t we here to work as escort at the Jinzhen Escort Agency? Why we need to cut down trees?”Someone muttered in dissatisfaction.
There were several people confused by this person’s discontent – they still get to eat and earn money! What’s the difference between cutting down trees and being an escort?
What difference does it make between cutting trees and being an escort? They would rather not have to be escorted and just cut down trees! At least cutting trees won’t kill anyone.
What’s more the food here was… very good! They didn’t need to go hungry!
Jiang Zhen not only kept an eye on these people, but also found some people to write down their situation. Then without training them, he let them cut down trees and build houses every day, till they were exhausted.
A few days later, he already knew who was honest and who was flexible, he also found that some of them were not quite right.
There were a few people who obviously didn’t wanted to sincerely work for him but rather… seemed to be send here by someone else.
At night when even moon and stars light was sparse on the mountain.
“Brother Li, something is not right! What can we do when we are there all day cutting down the trees?”
“Yes, Brother Li I become tired of cutting down trees every day. I don’t want to do this anymore!”
“We’d better find a way to kick his ass and get out of here!”
….
That night, seven or eight people gathered in a thatched hut that had a dug out a pit, away from sleeping people to discuss in low voices.
This latrine was used by people during the day so its smell was very bad. But the main advantage of this place was a remote location, that no one would come.
These people were all from Changlong fighting business of Wexing Province.
The so-called fighting business was designed to help people solve some things, whether it was to ask for debts or do other things, relatively speaking it was actually the predecessor of escort agency.
At this time Changlong fighting business took a new job – making trouble for Jinzhen Escort Agency.
They took this job when they heard that Jinzhen Escort Agency was going to recruit people, they mixed in with new recruits and planned to find some trouble for them from the inside of the Jinzhen Escort Agency.
But as result…
There was something wrong with the head of Jinzhen Escort Agency. He did not let them touch the affairs of the Jinzhen Escort Agency and instead took them out to cut down trees!
Forced to cut down trees in the mountains every day without much time to rest, how could they find trouble for Jinzhen Escort Agency? They couldn’t use axe to cut the people around them can they?
Other people who were recruited by Jinzhen Escort Agency were very happy and thought that they could earn money just by cutting down trees, which could not be any better. But they felt awful.
Usually, as long as they went to scare people to ask for debt they could eat and drink well so why should they now chop trees here in the sun?
Looking at their arms that have thickened a lot over the past few days, these people all wanted to go back.
“If we put up with it for a few more days, we will certainly find a way to deal with the Jinzhen Escort Agency.” Brother Li said.
“Brother Li, what do you plan to do?” Someone asked curiously.
“For example, kidnap Jiang Zhen’s daughter, he attaches great importance to his daughter, if we kidnap her, he will definitely have to listen to us in everything!” Brother Li was very proud of his idea.
“Good idea!” Others who heard these words nodded their heads in agreement. That Jiang Zhen would sometimes bring his daughter over, if they kidnapped her…
The more these people thought about it, the more they thought it was a good idea. When they were discussing it they suddenly heard a bang as the door of the hut were kicked open.
At the same time, a figure appeared at the door: “ How dare you to even think about my daughter… you have a lot of nerve.”
“Jiang Zhen?!” Hearing the familiar voice, brother Li let out a cry of horror and shouted: “Go!”
As soon as his words fell, he rushed first towards Jiang Zhen and the people around him also lunged together towards Jiang Zhen.
However, before they could jump on him, Jiang Zhen took out a bamboo pole and stabbed the “Brother Li“ who was running at the front of the group in the stomach.
Behind these people latrine.
The pit was very large and is was also quite filling.
After Jiang Zhen stabbed that big brother Li into the latrine, he said to the people behind him: “Let them all go down and sober up.”
“Yes! Boss!” The people around Jiang Zhen said in unison and took out unsharpened bamboo poles as they waited eagerly to stab someone.
The people from the Changlong fighting business were soon captured by Jiang Zhen’s men.
The next day, after being forced to wash in the river for an hour, they were brought to Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen immediately interrogated these people and asked them to tell him the purpose of their visit, but unfortunately, these people were just the lowest goons and didn’t know the details. The only knew that the people above had asked them to make trouble for the Jinzhen Escort Agency.
But even so it was enough to let Jiang Zhen know that some people don’t like him and wanted to deal with him.
Changlong fighting business? It was just a pawn, right?
Jiang Zhen frowned slightly and was thinking about how to deal with Changlong fighting business when suddenly someone came to report: “Boss, it’s not good, the chickens in our nearby chicken farm are all dead!”
