Zishui County.
Zhou Zhai.
Zhou Qiang usually lives in the county town.
The house in the county seat is also a courtyard house.
The backyard is also divided into many rooms.
Zhou Qiang's wives and concubines are still assigned different numbers, and every night they still have to call a certain courtyard to light the lights.
What is different from "Raise the Red Lantern" is that Zhou Qiang lights several lanterns every time, and it is not Zhou Qiang who goes out, but his wives and concubines who come to Zhou Qiang's big room.
Zhou Qiang's room is large, with a large bed that can sleep four or five people at the same time. It also has a large bathroom and toilet.
this day.
"Bai Jiaxuan? Let him in. He has a good relationship with me." Zhou Qiang did not go out to greet him. After all, the identities are different, so we should pay attention to the impact.
Bai Jiaxuan is Bai Jiaxuan, he has the energy of a fool.
Zhou Qiang's career continues to progress, and Zhou Qiang's back home continues to expand.
"Didn't I ask you to help Bai Jiaxuan with things?"
Things are constantly changing.
"This is it, Xiaoqiang. My brother-in-law asked me to give you a handwriting. He wrote it himself." Bai Jiaxuan really called Zhou Qiang's name.
The instructors and teachers inside were all hired by Zhou Qiang with huge sums of money.
The affairs of Zishui County are run by them very quickly. (Things are just a few things. If you really want to do them seriously, there won’t be so much procrastination. For example, there is no need to delay a matter for a few minutes for several months.)
The counselors are dealing with more than just routine work in Zishui County.
Especially Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Leng, many families represented by them still reject external changes.
After doing so much, is Zhou Qiang busy?
Zhou Qiang has many advisers, about thirty or forty of them, all of whom are freshly graduated college students.
Zhou Qiang spent a lot of effort and money on this martial arts hall.
Tian Xiao'e, Wang Yuyan and others are a bit ordinary in comparison. They don't have short hair and don't wear student uniforms. They are afraid of losing their status.
"Very good." Zhou Qiang nodded, "Are there any difficulties in the village?"
In this regard, Bai Jiaxuan is not as good as Lu Zilin.
It has been several years since foot binding was abolished.
Zhou Qiang rested at home and did not go to the county office.
If it were Lu Zilin, he would definitely not dare to do this.
Zhou Qiang has made progress.
Lu Zilin was a bad guy and hooked up with many widows in Bailu Village.
The four words "young and promising" came into my eyes.
"It's not good, it's not that material."
Marrying wives and concubines one after another, and then marrying them one after another, is too fussy.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaxuan asked helpfully, "Is it okay for Hei Wa to go to the martial arts hall?"
Although Zhou Qiang became the talker, he didn't have that many things to do every day, and he wasn't that busy either.
Someone proposed monogamy.
Lu San is afraid that something will happen to Hei Wa.
Only by being able to accept suggestions in a timely manner can regulations be run better.
"I have a lot of things to do at home." Bai Jiaxuan explained.
The Governor's Mansion was impressed.
When the two children grow up, they will be able to see each other well and be willing to be together. This is a good thing.
In this way, Bai Jiaxuan's job can be snatched away.
Only when you go out can you have the opportunity to become a master.
“Brother Jiaxuan, we’re going to have a baby kiss, which may be a good thing or a bad thing.
When Zhou Qiang took over the Wang family, he thought Wang Ping was a talented person and made him his housekeeper.
Every year, Zhou Qiang continues to recruit new college students to enter the Counselor Academy.
But the changes in Bailu Village are not that big.
"Yes, Mao. However, my Lingling is not Mao." When Bai Jiaxuan talked about Bai Ling, there was a smile on his lips. Bai Jiaxuan dotes on Bai Ling very much.
"Let me in, you are not an outsider." Zhou Qiang immediately ordered Wang Ping to call Lu San in.
"Okay." Zhou Qiang said casually, asked Heiwa to have some snacks, and then asked Bai Jiaxuan: "Brother Jiaxuan, I heard that you won't let Xiaowen and Xiaowu come to the county to study?"
Lu Zhaohai can enter the martial arts hall. "
"Brother Jiaxuan, you should call me by my name. This is at home, there is no need to address my position." Zhou Qiang said while offering a nice tea, and did not put on airs or show off to Bai Jiaxuan.
After a while.
Enriched Zhou Qiang's escort team.
Why doesn't Bai Jiaxuan let his two sons leave Bailu Village?
There could be many reasons.
"What?" Lu Zilin looked surprised, "This is a good thing!"
Both of them are also 'popular figures' in the school.
This time Zhou Qiang did not refuse to see Lu Zilin.
Zhou Qiang's group of counselors have the ability to deal with various problems in real time.
These college students have all the good things (passion, courage to sacrifice, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, no bad habits, no smell of decadence), they are all pure people.
As far as I know, there are still many places in Zishui County where foot binding is still practiced.
Someone has already reported what Lu Zilin did to the Council of Advisors.
"He thinks I'm in the way." Lu Zilin's words had some other meaning. This is giving Bai Jiaxuan eye drops.
Their efficiency is frightening.
Zhou Qiang has refused several times.
Zhou Qiang's use of people in this way is also a scorpion's tail, the only one.
Tian Fuxian was too embarrassed to come and looked for another way out.
Zhang Biao, Lao Liu, and Zheng Manger came.
"Since you are in the way, then don't do it."
Lu Zilin thought Zhou Qiang would ask, "Why is it an eyesore?"
The most terrifying thing is that batches of pure people were thrown into the dye vat and finally became one of them. )
Zhou Qiang is relieved when a college student counselor works.
He didn't want to get an official position, but his two sons were promising, and he was happy.
Lu Zilin's reaction was completely different from Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San.
Especially Lu Zhaopeng, he is outstanding.
"Oh." Lu San hurriedly sat down next to Bai Jiaxuan, and also pulled Hei Wa beside him, but he still couldn't let go.
Lu San and Hei Wa came in together.
"Yes, Mr. Leng's eldest daughter is engaged to Lu Zilin's eldest son, Lu Zhaopeng."
At this time, the maid came in and reported: "Master, there is a man named Bai Jiaxuan outside who wants to see you."
Bai Jiaxuan will not make false reports, conceal reports, deceive superiors or deceive subordinates, or do anything random.
Became Zhou Qiang's subordinate.
For these people, Zhou Qiang has relevant regulations. Not only are there no taxes, but there are corresponding subsidies, and enough food and money are given every month.
Just now, Lu Zilin went to school to see Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zhaohai.
Most of the girls in the village did not have their feet bound, but Mr. Leng still had their feet bound, which was a bit unusual.
He was named and praised many times, and Zhou Qiang was rewarded with many banners and certificates of honor, but there was no reward like Dayang.
Hei Wa was stunned and looked around.
The Counselor's Court is located in the county government office and is open 12 hours a day, all year round. Of course it was a shift.
"That's the truth." Regarding marriage, some people are constantly promoting freedom of marriage, women's liberation and so on. Bai Jiaxuan has also heard about it, and he is not so stubborn.
"Brother Jiaxuan, what's going on in the village recently?" Zhou Qiang arranged some things for Bai Jiaxuan.
No matter what, the next generation is better than the Bai family.
"County Chief Zhou" Bai Jiaxuan just started to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang became the talker.
Because of this, Zhou Qiang has a lot of free time.
Nowadays, freedom of marriage is advocated. If the two children disagree, don't force it. "
"But without you, we can't accomplish anything." Bai Jiaxuan recognized what Zhou Qiang did. Without Zhou Qiang, where would this good life come from?
At this time, Zhou Qiang was drinking tea leisurely and chatting with Tian Xiaoe and others.
"Third brother, sit down wherever you want, you're welcome." Zhou Qiang greeted.
Facts also proved that Zhou Qiang’s approach was correct.
Lu San refused because of the concept that "a good man should not be a soldier".
Because it is possible to participate in combat as a soldier.
forecourt.
"I heard that the two daughters of Mr. Leng's family have their feet bound?"
"Yes." Wang Ping took the order and left.
One of them is that Bai Jiaxuan wants Bai Xiaowen to be the patriarch and wants his two sons to inherit the things of the Bai family.
Let Bai Jiaxuan be responsible for statistics on the old, weak, sick and disabled in Bailu Village, as well as those who have lost the ability to work.
"You were right not to bind your feet. Why did Mr. Leng bind his daughter's feet? What he did was wrong." Zhou Qiang frowned.
Then, Lu Zilin said a lot of bad things about Bai Jiaxuan, saying that the needy households designated by Bai Jiaxuan were all relatives and related.
Previously, Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu attended primary school in Bailu Town.
College students all have different majors, and they all have real talents.
Wang Ping was a servant of the Wang family before. He was in his thirties, sophisticated, capable, well-proportioned, and average-looking.
"Hmph!" Zhou Qiang was a little unhappy after hearing this, "Some people are just nosy, you don't care how many wives they have! Who said that I should teach her a lesson?"
Bai Jiaxuan was afraid that his son would be in danger outside and did not dare to leave Bailuyuan.
There are also guns and ammunition, which also cost a lot.
Tian Xiao'e is the president, Wang Yuyan and others are vice presidents, and there are other officials, and many of them are Zhou Qiang's wives and concubines.
Lu Zilin's two sons, Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zhaohai, are both studying in Zishui County.
"It's wrong." Bai Jiaxuan also felt that Mr. Leng did something wrong.
"By the way, where's the third brother? He's here too, right?" Zhou Qiang asked.
After chatting for a while, Bai Jiaxuan, Lu San and Hei Wa were left to have a meal together.
"Of course it's a good thing. But, Lu Zilin, you should avoid doing some shameful things.
Lu Zhaopeng can enter my counselor's academy in the future.
During the suppression of bandits, Zheng Manger was captured alive.
But I'm afraid that when the two children grow up, they will have other ideas and don't want to recognize this marriage. This is a bad thing.
"Lu Zilin, why are you here again?" Zhou Qiang was not so polite to Lu Zilin.
Others may be afraid.
Zhou Qiang gave most of the power to these counselors.
As long as he knows how to employ people and dares to employ people, Zhou Qiang should not be too busy.
I often go to the Council of Advisors to offer advice.
"I think Hei Wa is quite strong. Let's just let him go to the martial arts school."
"That's good." Bai Jiaxuan also praised.
"Well, that's right. The battle status will be reported to the Counselor's Court, and rewards will be given based on merit."
Zhou Qiang has already moved over. He was in the backyard just now, and it was impossible to see Bai Jiaxuan in the backyard.
But Lu Zilin was thick-skinned and came to ask Zhou Qiang again.
When pure people gather together, they are less likely to be polluted.
But once it was done, it worked very well.
Tian Xiaoe and the others felt a sense of crisis because Zhou Qiang later married female college students.
It was Mr. Leng who came to arrange a marriage, and Bai Jiaxuan couldn't refuse. Now, if the two kids don't want to, they can also discuss canceling it.
Mr. Leng is even more conservative.
"That's it, County Magistrate Zhou, my township contract is gone. Can you find something for me to do, even without salary." Lu Zilin was indeed here to find an errand.
This is a move made by Zhou Qiang. He accepts anyone's suggestions, as long as they are reasonable, he will adopt them.
Lu Zilin came to Zishui County with Bai Jiaxuan.
The bandits in Zishui County suffered a lot and had no place to live.
Bai Jiaxuan is responsible for such things, and Zhou Qiang is relieved.
It's a pity that Zhou Qiang is not comfortable playing his cards normally.
"Oh? Written by Mr. Zhu?" Zhou Qiang took it curiously, opened it and took a look.
living room.
Bai Jiaxuan stopped letting his two sons go to school.
"Xiao'e, your foot binding is a bad habit and must be abandoned.
"Not bad, well written, good calligraphy!" Zhou Qiang couldn't help but praise. Mr. Zhu's calligraphy is indeed good. The candidates and scholars of this era were all good in calligraphy. The words written by the number one scholar look like printed words.
"Hei Wa isn't that big either, so what can I do?"
Zhou Qiang's former housekeeper, Lao Fan, was still working as a housekeeper at the house in Bailu Village.
Several years passed.
It was Zhou Qiang who imitated the martial arts lecture halls outside and built a similar martial arts lecture hall in Zishui County.
Lu San hesitated, "It's better not to go, just farm with me."
For middle schools, you need to come to Zishui County.
"Lu Zilin, you two sons are good, you should train them well.
Butler Wang Ping brought Bai Jiaxuan in.
"You can do it. Hei Wa looks a little stunned, but he is smart, his hands and feet are flexible, he has a big frame, and he is strong. He was born to eat military food."
Most things are handled by Zhou Qiang's group of 'counselors'.
Isn’t this talking about you, sir? You already have eight wives and concubines. "Tian Xiao'e took this opportunity to beat Zhou Qiang.
Shouldn't your Women's Self-Help Association spread the word and get rid of this bad habit as soon as possible? "
Lu Zilin came to Zhou Qiang for no other reason than to become an official.
Not only did he not let his two daughters go to school, he basically refused to let them go out. He also bound their feet. His behavior was completely the same as in the past.
"My boss, the group of bandits that came from outside recently have been wiped out." Zhang Biao said. He is the captain of the first escort team, and his troops have the strongest combat effectiveness.
Zhou Qiang smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that the second daughter of Mr. Leng's family has made an appointment to marry your family, Xiaowu?"
"It's not just me, but also the Council of Advisors, as well as the old and young people in Zishui County. It's all thanks to everyone's contribution." Zhou Qiang showed some humility.
Zhou Qiang believes that college students who are not polluted must be creative, work in a down-to-earth manner, not be too utilitarian, and must be the cutest people.
Lu Zilin felt that the two sons were going to travel thousands of miles and explore the world.
Zhou Qiang rested for a while.
"Talk about martial arts hall?" Lu San was a little confused. He knew about martial arts hall, but he didn't know whether he should let Hei Wa go.
"Everything is fine. The food and money for next month have been distributed. I sent a few sick people to the county hospital and they were all cured." Bai Jiaxuan carefully completed the task assigned by Zhou Qiang, "By the way, there are a few sick people. The households have been lifted out of poverty and can earn their own money to survive. I have revised the list and sent it to the Council of Counselors."
No need to nest in Bailuyuan.
"Master, someone is already doing this, and Xiulan and Su'e are doing a good job.
"He's outside and didn't come in." Lu San followed Bai Jiaxuan on errands and usually waited outside.
The rules of the Zhou family are also very strict.
Later, Zhou Qiang showed mercy to Zheng Manger and allowed Dai Zui to perform meritorious service.
They formed a women's self-help society.
Of course Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan have also changed.
"There are no difficulties, and life is very stable. I heard that other counties still have poll taxes, but our county has no more. This is all thanks to you, Xiaoqiang." Bai Jiaxuan smiled honestly.
Zheng Manger is the monk who was responsible for the peasant uprising.
"Why don't you let me?"
Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu went to school, which was Bai Jiaxuan's private matter. Zhou Qiang didn't say much.
This martial arts hall is not that martial arts hall.
"Just work and farm with me."
living room.
There are also many professional things.
Zishui County is doing very well in all aspects including science and technology, economy, infrastructure, medical care, education, housing, etc.
So much progress has been made in a short period of time.
Zhou Qiang asked someone to serve tea, "Third brother, Heiwa won't go to school?"
Lu Zilin hopes that his two sons will succeed.
If you go into battle, there will be casualties.
However, something has been troubling me recently.
"Yes, I went to help, but Bai Jiaxuan wouldn't let me."
Lu Zilin is here.
"Ah?" Zhou Qiang's answer made Lu Zilin dumbfounded.
Stop talking and get down to business.
They know their profession, and Zhou Qiang has given them a lot of support. Zishui County has done very well in all aspects.
After Zhou Qiang became the county magistrate of Zishui County, his escort team expanded.
Lu San was a little cautious.
Not long after Bai Jiaxuan and the others left.
"Come on, put this calligraphy up for me and hang it in the County Government Counselor's Court." Zhou Qiang ordered.
After a while.
Every regulation has limitations, timeliness, etc.
Otherwise, not only will your reputation be ruined, but the futures of your two children will also be affected. "
Although Zhou Qiang lights several lanterns every day, Tian Xiaoe and the others are still a little unhappy because there are so many sisters.
Not busy at all.
Currently, there are ten teams, each with about 200 people. The personnel configuration (different military types) is based on Germanic, and the weapons and equipment are also very good. Zhou Qiang also plans to build ammunition factories, firearms factories, steel factories, etc.
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention." Lu Zilin left with some satisfaction.
Especially recently, another female college student confessed to Zhou Qiang that she was very beautiful, with a good figure, personality and other aspects. Zhou Qiang did not refuse and was about to set a date and marry her home.
Each of these counselors is working hard.
After dinner.
Over the past few years, Zhou Qiang has changed a lot.
"Boss, I have found out all the bandits in the nearby counties." Lao Liu said. He is responsible for intelligence work.
"Get in touch and ask us to help suppress the bandits." Zhou Qiang not only wants to deal with the bandits in Zishui County, but also the surrounding ones.
"My boss, I found some outside spies," Zheng Man'er said.
"Oh? There are also Japanese people? Kill them all. I don't allow Japanese people to exist in Zishui County!" Zhou Qiang still likes to kill Japanese people.
