Under the leadership of Chu Yu, Wu De and his men quickly found this secret pavilion. It was embedded behind the wainscot and had dense seams. Even if you looked carefully, you couldn't see any flaws. Chu Yu didn't know where the mechanism was. The time traveler was too lazy to look for it, so Wang Ruixiang found a fire ax and started chopping randomly, quickly cutting a gap in the board wall. [Read the latest chapter] i.bsp; Unexpectedly, as soon as the pavilion was opened, the owner of the Gou family - Gou Xunyi was unexpectedly discovered. He is hiding in the secret room of this study. Behind this board wall is a staircase, which leads down to an underground secret room with five mahogany cabinets, all locked. There are several tanks of clean water and a lot of dry food in the room, so it seems that it will not be a problem to last for ten and a half days. Gou Xunyi looked much better when he was captured than Saddam. Although he was shaking all over, he was not disgraced.
Gou Xunyi tried his best to stay calm, but he was shaking so much that he could not stand firmly. A local tyrant and evil gentry like him usually lorded it over his own one-third of an acre of land, except for being polite to the officials and gentlemen in the county. , he is simply a local emperor, killing people and setting fires without batting an eye. At this moment, being captured alive, knowing that the enemy is coming, he immediately loses his strength. I wanted to say a few words of begging and begging, but I couldn't get them out.
Several people thought that this tycoon who controlled the affairs of the county and collaborated with pirates was such a heroic figure. Seeing his appearance, they felt contempt. Wu De ordered the people to be dragged to the mass meeting, and he brought a few skilled people with him to break open the locks on the mahogany cabinet one by one. As expected, there were all kinds of account books, contracts, bills and other things inside, and there were many more. Bundles of letters tied with string. No one is interested in these things, but they also know that since he hid them here solemnly, they must be important items. This is not the place to sort it out, just bring it back and find an expert to deal with it. There are several other large boxes in the secret room, three of which contain Spanish silver dollars. It's so brightly white that there are more than ten thousand taels in total. There were also two small boxes containing valuables such as gold and jewelry. One of the items caught Wu De's attention: it was a small plastic compact mirror - wasn't this something that Mr. Wen sold in large quantities to this time and space? As for where Gouda got this one, it is unknown. .
Gou Da's fate has long been decided. At the meeting where it was decided to attack Goujiazhuang, the Gou family's fate was "death penalty". There was originally a debate over whether to kill all the members of the family, but in the end, the decision to kill them all was reluctantly passed. Resolution, many people are still muttering and disgusted. It's better now, Gou Da's whole family is running away to death, and only one bare commander is left, so that no one can have a conscience. As for killing Gou Da, no one will feel sad.
Gou Xunyi was escorted to the stage, and the crowd in the audience shouted angrily, "Kill him! Kill him!" Apparently the atmosphere in front of the time travelers had an effect. The crowd in the audience was excited for a while. Xi Yazhou winked at Gou Bri, and the male immediately understood. He picked up clods of garbage and threw them at Gou Xunyi. The power of an example is infinite. Immediately afterwards, countless bricks and stones were thrown at them like raindrops, and the time travelers had already dodged away. How could Gou Da, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, escape? Just like that, in a burst of noisy noise, Gou Xunyi, who was running rampant for a while, was smashed to the head and bleeding, and died on the spot. When his bloody head was held high by Zhang Xingjiao and danced wildly on the stage like an Indian, the crowd fell into a madness of revenge and bloodthirsty. Many Gou family members who usually had public anger or grievances were He was dragged off the stage and beaten to death by punches and kicks. Travelers surrounded the area, and many felt extremely uncomfortable.
Smarter people have vaguely guessed the meaning of the Executive Committee's move to incite the masses to engage in terror: This is the best way for the villagers of Goujiazhuang in the past and Damei Village now to vote. From now on, they have no choice. Only firmly tied to the traveler's chariot.
While this cruel farce was being staged, Wu De had already left the scene. He wanted to discuss the transportation and distribution of materials with Dai Xie, who was responsible for checking the materials.
The Gou family's house in Damei Village will be completely demolished, and the dismantled bricks, tiles and wood will be used as building materials. As for Damei Village, fifty households will be left for farming based on the carrying capacity of the land. All other households and various craftsmen moved to Bairen City to directly control a group of people. The remaining people will establish grassroots organizations such as village committees and militia according to the model of Yanchang Village.
Dai Xie was extremely busy here. In addition to the things that he had to transport back to Bairen City, he also had to keep some for local villagers' relief. As for a large amount of furniture, daily necessities, clothes and other items, he also took them out and distributed them to the people. He discussed with Xi Yazhou: Some people suggested that the people should take it by themselves, but as a result, only the bold and powerful would benefit, while the timid and weak would often be snatched away by others even if they grabbed something. Killed by the strong. Therefore, the release this time will be arranged by the Planning Commission.
After arranging everything, Wu De led a large group of people and supplies to evacuate Damei Village first, while Xi Yazhou stayed there. He also wanted to help establish grassroots political power in the local area. Zhang Xingjiao recommended several people who were close to him to serve as leaders: one was Mabangping, a small vendor who was somewhat literate; the other was originally a tenant of the Gou family, named Jin Changman, who was in his forties. . The two men have some prestige in the village. Gou Bri also wanted to get an official position in the newly established village committee, but Xi Yazhou knew that this person was unreliable and directly kicked him into the immigration team.
The work of transporting Goujiazhuang's property and relocating people lasted for almost half a month. During this period, the engineering team organized manpower and machinery to repair the road from Bairen City to the county seat. Even the observation post originally located on a hill outside the city was simply moved across Shui Road - a three-story blockhouse with an all-brick structure was built grandly on the hill. Standing on the top of the blockhouse, you can see the county government office with a high-power telescope. Mr. Li is examining the details of the spanking case. Coupled with a PHS phone, it is almost possible to do live broadcasts.
Lingao County will be completely deaf and mute, allowing them to build large-scale construction across the Wenlan River. Residents in the county are no longer surprised by these rumbling steel monsters. Although no one dares to get close to these construction machinery, every time the machinery is started, there are always many people watching from a distance, even some wealthy gentlemen. , simply sat on a sliding pole sedan, took his wife, concubines, children and many servants, set up a shed on a small hillock from a distance, put a few wicker chairs, and watched their construction while drinking tea, just like looking at a peep show. .
For the people, the changes don't stop there. More and more farmers came to the market outside Bairen City. Their extremely strong appetite attracted a large number of nearby farmers. At first, it was only a chicken, a duck, a few kilograms of eggs or a load of vegetables, and later A few bolts of cloth woven by the woman herself, and then a pig... The time-travelers were honest and honest, and the price they offered was slightly higher than the normal market price, and all the payments were made with good money from before the apocalypse. This made everyone flock to it, and more and more people came.
This is the side of the short-haired bed, and everyone knows how powerful the short-haired ones are. Not to mention the bandits and strongmen from all walks of life. Even if they are doing business in the county, they don’t dare to come over casually. There is no one around, the ground is calm, and this year The autumn harvest was pretty decent, and there was a little bit of peace. When more people came, someone set up a shed in the market, set up a stove, sold some vegetarian tea, and provided accommodation for the night. The sellers had money to sell and wanted to buy something back, so vendors selling rouge, gouache, household utensils, farm tools, etc. also gathered here, followed by fortune tellers and letter writers. In the past few days, Wu Nanhai discovered several painted women during his inspections - prostitutes were also here. Wu Nanhai was so excited that he almost shed tears - our market has finally become a reality!
In less than a month, the empty space outside the east gate has now magically been erected with a large bamboo shed. Although in terms of scale and popularity, it cannot compete with a market in a remote town in the 21st century. compared to. But for the traverser's business department, this is already a good result.
On the edge of this large tract of simple sheds, close to the moat outside the east gate, stands out a two-story building with an all-red brick structure. This is the newly built Dongmen City Management Office of Bairen City and the administrative center. The offices of the Commission's commercial arm. In front of the small building is the corridor, which can provide shade from the sun and rain. There is a stone platform in the hall at the main entrance, with three different weighing instruments displayed on it. A set of mass scales: one kilogram, fifty gram, and one gram stone weights; a one-meter-long ruler and a filled one-liter pitcher.
The introduction of new weights and measures is an important task for the business sector. Although the practice of unifying weights and measures has been in place since Qin Shihuang, in fact weights and measures have never been truly unified in ancient society. Although each industry and each region uses the same name of weights and measures, the essence is different, and some are even very different. big. Not only did it cause many disputes and conflicts, but officials and profiteers in the past dynasties also used it to make profits. The commercial department decided to implement the standard weights and measures system of modern society starting from Dongmen City, which was still in its infancy at this time. All purchases and sales of Chuangzhong in Dongmen City are measured and priced according to this new set of weights and measures. As for transactions between indigenous people, they do not have enough new weighing instruments to supply the market for the time being, so there are no rigid regulations.
