The secret activities of Eryong.com and Huang Xunkun finally reached Gao Zhiyan, and the confusion came to an end. [Read full text] Finally, violence occurred. A grain farmer couldn't bear the food shortage and was repeatedly harassed and extorted. Finally, he beat the other party out.
Of course, violence is a common occurrence during the annual grain collection, and grain cadres sometimes beat people. Sometimes I get beaten. Not a big deal. Chen Minggang heard that his subordinates had been beaten, and he was secretly happy.
Violent resistance. What a crime. In the past, the county did not dare to offend you. Australians don’t do this now.
At that moment, he asked someone to write off all the grain that this family had paid, and count them as a grain debtor who had not paid even though they were consuming rice.
This lasts for ten days. The richer the people in the county, the more disturbed they are. Rumor has it that Chen Mingwang has colluded with the fashionable thieves. Prepare to take action on several large households. Kill the chicken and become a monkey. There are also legends that Chen Ming.com was completely "falsely spreading the imperial edict". All kinds of true and false news were flying all over the sky, making it impossible to tell the difference.
Because they don't know what the outcome of the negotiations will be, the wealthy families are making nervous preparations: some people hide their belongings, and some give away their wives and children. Some are also reinforcing the village walls. In order to win people's hearts, many large households exempted and reduced the rent of their tenants, and increased wages for their long-term servants.
Some people even no longer live in their own homes. Live in a relatively well-fortified village with relatives and friends. The tense atmosphere gradually reached its peak.
Zou De returns according to various aspects. I knew that Huang Xunkun had already collected the joint posters and was preparing to formally submit them in front of the management office building of Dongmen City in three days. The local indigenous people could not enter Bairen City. To them, Dongmen City hung a majestic banner. On the sign, there is an inscription on the management office building with "police" standing guard at the door, which is "yamen." This place does have some characteristics of a yamen. For example, various dispute mediation, land leasing and arresting people.
As for Chen Mingwang and his group, they are also ready to deal with it. According to Chen Mingwang's instructions, three people from the county have been found to take the blame. It was agreed that if the Australians wanted to kill people. The pension is three hundred taels per month, if you are arrested in a labor camp. If you stay there for a month, you will be given five taels of silver.
The family members gave thirty taels of housing allowance. In case Australians don't accept this. Blinded. The big bosses refused to let him go and insisted that he hand over the backbone of his men. Chen Mingwang also thought about it and handed over Zhou Qi to Zhou Qi as his great disciple. Enough to satisfy everyone. He was tired of this apprentice. Not only was he doing something behind his back, but also because of the rumors about Zhou Qi and Qiu Hong that were widely circulated in the county.
Rumors can also kill people. It turned out to be nothing at all. Chen Mingwang also knew that there was no adultery between the two, but the story spread too widely and became vivid. The quarrel has been going on for a long time, but it seems to be real, which makes him lose face.
But Zhou Qi seemed to work very hard, going to the countryside every day for several days. It's just that every time I come back, my face looks heavy. She didn't even dare to meet Chen Mingwang because things were not going well.
"What a waste," Chen Mingwang secretly cursed. This incompetent apprentice probably got a lot of benefits from others, and if he doesn't come out now, it will be difficult for him to speak again. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he had thrown Zhou Qi out as a scapegoat. The decision was correct.
The day for posting has finally arrived. Huang Xunkun and Li Xiaopeng originally planned to send students from the county school and Caixixuan Academy to petition together. However, this matter was persuaded by Wang Ci, who believed that this matter should not cause a big deal.
"Hun Kun, you and Mr. Liu just go together. If there are too many people there and they talk too much, they may say something inappropriate, and the Aoyuan people will be angry by then. If you want to do this, you can do it. It won't work
"I want to show them the character of a scholar in Lingao."
"Hun Kun!" Wang Ci stopped his eloquent talk, "Don't be arrogant! The Australians have weapons in their hands. They are also people outside of Hua. It's rare that they have some intentions towards Hua now, so they can only pursue it slowly. You are carrying it with such a turbulent attitude. Students are going to make trouble. If they are offended, they will never be resurrected!"
Huang Xunkun calmly thought that what Wang Ci said was right, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, that's what he taught you."
"It's rare that Mr. Liu is willing to come forward to seek justice in this matter. All you need to do is accompany Mr. Liu with Xiao Peng and a few others. Australians respect Mr. Liu very much. With his intervention, things can always turn around.
Huang Xunkun was obedient. In his opinion: Australian and Tam people are greedy. Liu Dashuang came forward. The other party must be responding to the accident and making some symbolic concessions. The essence of convergence will not change.
Judging from his many years of experience in fighting bandits with his father, whether they are bandits or pirates, their roots are food. The large crowd that had gathered was in chaos without food. Hipsters are no exception. Now that they have taken control of Lingao, they will not let go of this opportunity to collect a large amount of food.
But that’s fine too. Huang Xunkun thought that this could make the big investors who were originally lucky to take a firm stand. It will be much easier to do anything in the future. Second, Huang Henkun, Li Xiaopeng, a few friends and servants helped lead Liu Dashuang to Liu Dashuang's house in the west of Gancheng City. This place is already filled with relatives and friends of the Liu family who have fled from the countryside to seek help. I heard that Liu Dashang was going to personally talk to the Australians about autumn grain. Everyone got up early and gathered under the eaves to see him off.
Liu Dashang was neatly dressed and had bright robes and was pushed out of the house by his servants. Seeing his righteous look, everyone praised him: He is indeed a man of high moral character.
Huang Hankun and others saw Li and pushed the wheelchair outside. In the corridor were the three relatives, four dependents and servants of the Liu family, one by one. Stop and watch. There are still people bowing and saluting.
Liu Dashang was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing the scene in front of him, he felt an impassioned feeling in his chest, and secretly blamed himself for imagining things. Want to say something. I couldn't think of the right words for a while, so I had to return the favor.
Outside the door, a bamboo and rattan sedan has been prepared. Everyone helped him onto the sedan chair. Huang Xunkun and others neither rode in sedans nor rode horses, but just walked with them.
The county government office is closed. As usual, the county government does not release announcements during the busy farming season. The matter of collecting grain and land was too difficult, but Liu Dashuang was lucky. Neither Huang Xunkun nor Huang Xunkun came to the county government. The big scholar was an Australian. They couldn't afford to offend any of them, so they were happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"What if something really happens?" Wu Mingjin was slightly worried about this matter. When collecting grain, if there is a "grain trouble". Your own future is doomed.
The so-called grain disturbance refers to the large-scale refusal of grain households in the county to pay grain taxes. Of course, this is a major violation of the king's law, but the county magistrate also has a heavy responsibility, and it is certain that he will be dismissed from office.
Wang Zhaomin was very confident. He smiled confidently and said: "Dong Weng! You are afraid of causing trouble. Aren't Australians afraid?"
Wu Mingjin chin slightly, admiring this master very much.
"Just wait and see what happens." Wang Zhaomin added in a pretentious tone. Of course, for him and the county magistrate, doing nothing is the best option.
Liu Dashuang's sedan arrived at the management office building of Dongmen City. Send someone to deliver the name card. Dugu proposed and Xiong Buyou were waiting inside. They received Gao De's instructions to prepare to receive "petitioners" and to "be courteous and thorough"
"How can a landlord be so polite?" Dugu asked dissatisfied when he proposed.
"Who said he is the only one, Jinshi? Are you planning to use him?" Xiong Buyou stood up, straightened his clothes, and went out with Dugu's proposal.
This was Liu Dashuang's first time visiting an Australian. It's an Australian government office. Looking around very curiously. I saw that this was a two-story building made of red bricks, very square and regular. The windows are large and narrow. Inlaid with sparkling glass…”
"Too luxurious." Liu Dashang shook his head. I saw that the top of the gate was semicircular and very tall.
There is also a guard in black clothes and rattan hat standing next to the door. These are the so-called "police", and I heard they are all local aborigines.
I saw two people coming out of the door. One is tall and one is short, one is fat and one is thin. Complement each other. Both of them wore blue cloth double-breasted jackets with four pockets, no hats, and their hair was styled like a monk's. Wear canvas shoes with ropes on them. There is not a single bit of silk or satin on the whole body. There are no gaming accessories either.
Liu Dashang was surprised to see the Australian leader dressed so plainly. According to the news he heard, Australians are well-educated in making money and are good at manufacturing all kinds of ingenious goods. They should have accumulated a lot of wealth. Look at what they do on a daily basis: building roads and bridges. Set up schools and build big ships. Either one is a big-money undertaking. I didn’t expect that personal enjoyment would be so hard! I couldn't help but feel a little respect in my heart.
Xiong Buyou came up to him, exchanged a few words, and immediately welcomed him and the group into the reception room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Liu Dashang almost laughed. It seems that although Australians are very capable, they are actually very vulgar. A big room. Whitewashed walls. The floors are also of good quality wood. The autumn sunshine shines through the glass windows. Very open. The furnishings inside were haphazard.
The walls were like a stall selling paintings, with various calligraphy and paintings hanging densely on them. Whether it’s a nave, a banner, an interstitial, or even a few fans. All kinds of paintings, including landscapes, flowers and birds, fine brushwork, freehand brushwork, splash ink, and green, are hung randomly everywhere. There are actually a few Suzhou films among them.
In the corner, there are several large vases placed randomly. There is a nondescript feather duster stuck inside - this kind of large vase is about half a person tall. It has no industrial use. People don't want this thing to decorate the house. It would be a pity to destroy it, so they might as well come here to use up the remaining heat. Apparently Australians have terrible tastes. Calling them a nouveau riche is an exaggeration. Liu Dashang secretly shook his head. The wealthy locals in this county all have better taste than them. ! ~!
