Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 184: The Unethical Act as Virtuous (1)

(Solemnly declare that this chapter is purely fictional and does not contain any bad information. Please believe in science, respect metaphysics, and abide by the law.)

They found out that Lan Youde's ancestors were from Yicheng, and his family's history of prosperity could be traced back to more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Lan Youde's ancestor, his great grandfather, was originally a thug in a small gang, and he often did bad things. This person was completely unscrupulous and didn't know how high the heaven was. Later, he offended someone he shouldn't have offended. The gang couldn't protect him, so they expelled him and terminated his relationship with the gang.

After leaving the gang, he couldn't find a job and could only make a living by selling nightshades.

At that time, China's survival was not good, and it was being watched by many foreign capitals, waiting to be divided up. It was under such a premise that many foreigners with status spent money to buy intelligence in China under the slogans of commodity trade, cultural exchange, and political diplomacy, turning many people into traitors and traitors.

Lan Youde's great grandfather's job was to carry manure and urine for people from house to house, so he was very familiar with the local routes. He benefited from being familiar with the routes in that area and became a traitor. He provided the local routes and terrain to those foreigners to facilitate their invasion plans, and those foreigners gave him a large sum of money as a reward. After he tasted the sweetness, he began to take the initiative to inquire about the national conditions and sell the information to foreigners. Those foreigners saw that he was despicable and thought he had great potential, so they vigorously trained him to be a spy, gave him money, and taught him how to do business. He thus transformed himself into a businessman.

During the worst period of the Chinese Civil War, outsiders wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to invade, and Lan Youde's great grandfather helped a lot. Especially when the Japanese were about to destroy the entire Chinese nation, he was one of the many traitors who helped a lot. In order to survive and make money, he not only provided the Japanese with local terrain routes, but also provided them with supplies.

However, after careful calculation, he should have surrendered to the Japanese earlier, before the full-scale war and massacre began. The Japanese were fighting in a small corner, and the soil was not enough to support life, and the mountains and rivers were not enough to protect them. The geographical location was bad, and everything was not good, so they were very jealous of China's vast land and rich resources. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have been eyeing China and even formulated a plan to replace it.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese could no longer hold back and harassed China for years, burning, killing, looting and slaughtering cities in coastal areas of China. In order to resist, China killed many of them before they were driven back. Not only the Japanese, but also some other countries were cunning and always harassed China. Part of the reason for the chaotic social situation was that they interfered. Grandfather Lan Youde seized this point and survived by spying for many parties.

Fortunately, this weak-kneed traitor was not always so carefree and glorious. Later, someone finally dealt with him severely. That person was the ancestor of the Yunjixing family. At that time, the ancestor of the Yunjixing family had people working in both the political and business circles. One side mainly engaged in business to provide economic support, and the other side carried guns and joined the army to provide military deterrence.

After the war in the country was completely over, Lan Youde's great grandfather came to Huacheng to hide. He was arrogant and did not behave himself even when hiding, which offended the ancestors of the Yunjixing family. The ancestors of the Yunjixing family found someone to investigate him. After finding out about the dirty things he had done, they immediately began to suppress his business and sent him to jail for many years.

Speaking of which, the lives of legendary people will be passed down with the legends. This great grandfather of Lan Youde raped and plundered, sold out his country for fame, and committed all kinds of evil, but he still cannot die. His great grandfather is a nobody, and it sounds like everyone will attack him. In fact, few people dare to attack him, and he even has many supporters. Although the war is over and the invaders are gone, the traitors are not gone, and they are not extinct. There are also people who are born with weak bones, just like foreign countries, just like people like great grandfather of Lan Youde who flatter foreigners and seek fame, and they feel that they have found their kind, so they keep protecting them.

Later, Lan Youde was released from prison and moved his family to Jiangcheng, where he also registered his household registration.

Logically speaking, their family should have been very poor for a long time, at least they would not have had money before the reform. He went to jail, and all the businesses he had run and the wealth he had accumulated disappeared. In addition, he had a bad family background. At first, he was a night incense seller, and later he became a traitor. Basically, everyone who knew a little about it looked down on him, and he was not good at interpersonal communication. But when he arrived in Jiangcheng, in just four years, he became rich again and started doing business again.

Digging deeper, we found that he went to the country of cherry blossoms before he became rich, and he became rich immediately after returning. It turned out that he went there to do bad things in exchange for money. The focus later was during the period of reform and opening up, when it was Lan Youde's turn.

It can be said that their family has been traitors for generations, and their fate has been repeated for generations. The Japanese robbed too many things in China and conducted too many experiments on the Chinese, which led to their strong ability to recover even though they were defeated. In addition, the United States did not want them to become a socialist country and become on the same line with China, so they fully supported them in many fields such as construction and manufacturing. With their help, the island's ability to recover has been greatly improved.

Once it was restored, the Sakura people wanted to make trouble. As earthquakes continued on Sakura Island and the environment was so bad that "the mountains are not green, the water is not clear, the wind is poisonous, and the sand is fishy", the Japanese still wanted to occupy China.

In the early days of reform, China vigorously built infrastructure. With the help of the Sakura people, Lan Youde got a lot of money to invest and built a lot of things. But they were not good things. Those things were built in places where they should not be built, destroyed things that should not be destroyed, and brought characteristics and symbols that did not belong to China, making China's Feng Shui a mess.

In addition to Jiangcheng, Lan Youde also participated in the construction of Licheng.

The construction work made his family rich again. Originally, his great grandfather had made a lot of money as a traitor, and with the help of the Sakura people, he quickly expanded his capital, bought official positions for his own people, and sold his own official positions to others.

This despicable tactic brought together a group of despicable people without principles, forming a huge and difficult-to-eradicate disease under the two cities.

Jiangcheng and Licheng are close to each other, so it is convenient for Lan Youde to sabotage both cities. Both cities are shrouded in the shadow of his power. Now there are many corrupt officials in both cities, officials who are not worthy of their positions, officials who only know how to enjoy themselves and do nothing. In fact, as long as they have a little more qualifications and positions, they were promoted by him during that period. The people he promoted did not work for the people, but for himself.
