Li Guolou walked into the front hall. More than a dozen women were sitting around three Eight Immortals tables drinking porridge. Li Guolou touched his nose and nodded to them with a smile. Hei Zhuzhu, Yanzi and other close relatives came over.
They walked away with a proud expression on their faces. These women who were released were the result of their persuasion. A dozen women were imprisoned all night without eating or drinking. Finally, they figured it out and the porridge tasted delicious.
Li Guolou approached and asked, "Hei Zhuzhu, is there anyone who refuses to come out?"
Hei Zhuzhu smiled and said: "Captain Li, the task you gave us has been successfully completed. We all came out to drink porridge. Why should people have trouble with themselves, don't you think so?" After speaking, he threw it at Li Guolou.
Fascinating, it depends on whether the commander wants it or not!
Li Guolou just pretended not to see it, turned to look at the women who lowered their heads, and said seriously: "Well, that's right. I forgive you for being unreasonable yesterday, and you will work hard in the future, spinning, weaving, raising chickens and feeding pigs.
, isn’t it good? You have a good breakfast, wash the clothes for the officers and soldiers, and do what you can. There is Hei Zhuzhu as the women’s captain. From now on, she will report your performance to Deputy Captain Ai, um;;;;
;; For the sake of your loneliness, I will give each of you five taels of silver as a reward for settling in. You will be paid for your work these days, and the specific number will be determined by Hei Zhuzhu. I have something to do now. If you have any specific difficulties,
, let Hei Zhuzhu report to Deputy Captain Ai."
Li Guolou wanted to make it clear in his mind and was about to walk in. Hei Zhuzhu said anxiously: "Captain Li, please wait. There are five women here who are not from Balizhuang. What do you think we should do?"
"Huh?" Li Guolou looked in the direction of Hei Zhuzhu's finger, and he dug into the cave obediently. The Hokage had a harem to accompany him on the expedition in such a short time, which is not much worse than Hong Xiuquan. Suddenly he had an idea and said: "Holly and the five of them
I am not a bachelor. Let them take you home and get married. I will act as a matchmaker for them. I will reward you with ten taels of silver and two pieces of silk."
Ai Hai interjected: "Two pieces of silk and satin will be made up in two days. Captain Li is very busy. What will happen to Hei Zhuzhu in the future? Just tell me." Secretly annoyed, Li Guolou spoke without thinking and changed "Five Flowers"
"Flowers" were given away for free. Many of the members of the militia were young people, and there were so many people asking him to be matchmakers.
"Yes!" Hei Zhuzhu raised his eyes and looked at Ai Hai, casting flirtatious glances at random. He would try it if he had the chance. A man and a woman alone would be together all day long, and a fire would ignite at the first sign of fire.
Ai Hai's Adam's apple twitched, and his mind became a little lively. Li Guolou saw this, but kept a straight face, not giving the charming girl any chance, and said: "Oh;;;;;;I am the official
I almost forgot, which of you has a husband or children?"
A woman choked and said, "My husband was sent out by the Hokage a long time ago. Now that I think about it, he should be dead." After saying this, she couldn't help crying, wiping her eyes, and her body kept twitching.
Another woman whispered: "My husband has been taken to the capital. Captain Li, should I wait for him?"
More than a hundred rebels were brought to the capital by the officers and soldiers to show the common people of the capital the achievements of Shangshubao. The vast majority of the rebels would not be executed, but they would be sentenced to imprisonment and exile. At this time, exile and distribution were inevitable.
Just like in ancient times, it still leaves a mark on the face of the prisoner, and the shame of being a thief and joining the army will never be washed away.
Li Guolou replied: "As long as you are not the principal culprit, you will not die. You will just be sent to the army and sent to the border to do hard labor. I do whatever you want. If you can endure the hardship, you will wait for him. If you cannot endure the hardship, you will marry again.
people."
"Oh!" The woman was a little disappointed. Her husband was still alive, which made her choice difficult.
Two and three women and their children were outside. They asked Li Guolou to help them find their children. Several women were crying silently. Their children had been killed by themselves.
Ai Hai glanced at him and said, "Hei Zhuzhu, don't you know how to do things? Let those kids come in. We are a team of ordinary people and we pay attention to human ethics."
Hei Zhuzhu was not afraid of Ai Hai, and argued without hesitation: "Deputy Ai, you didn't tell me, how could I dare to make my own decision? Didn't I just listen to you?" The code word had been sent out, and he was seducing Ai Hai in public.
.
Li Guolou walked in without hesitation, and did not listen to flirting. Hei Zhuzhu was more open-minded, daring to do things, and had a fierce spirit. He did not stick to trivial matters when doing big things. He did not bother to do such mother-in-law and mother-in-law things.
Learn to be a hands-off shopkeeper, otherwise things will come to you like snowflakes, and doing this kind of thing will make people feel depressed. No matter what you do, you will feel depressed.
After a busy morning, I took a short break and waited for everyone to arrive before the meeting. Li Guolou stood on the top of the second floor of the watchtower and overlooked the entire Balizhuang. The warm spring breeze blew on Li Guolou's face, enjoying the joy of success.
The dilapidated thatched houses in the eyes are also the most beautiful scenery. There are children playing on the street, and dogs are wandering around. A group of patrolling officers, soldiers, and militia members are walking neatly on the street.
In the distance, the "Snow Mountain Lion Flag" is floating in the air at the entrance of the village. The misty Yunmeng Mountain is like a lady, which people never tire of watching. A small stream flows from the foot of the mountain, and the gurgling water converges into a river that passes through Balizhuang.
.The women holding wooden buckets walked out of Yunmeng Diaolou. A row of women squatted by the river, using mallets to beat clothes on the bluestone. Seeing them working hard to wash clothes, Li Guolou showed a happy smile. His dirty clothes
Someone washed it.
There were no farmers working in the green fields, and not a single cow was seen in the entire scenery of Balizhuang. Li Guolou couldn't help but swore angrily. The rebels just wanted to satisfy their appetites. Thousands of people were singing, dancing, and celebrating all day long.
Loudly. The locust-like rebels described the future as a fairyland-like blueprint, but their actual actions were to leave a mess to the local people. After Balizhuang was occupied by the rebels, it became sparsely populated and farming withered.
Nowadays, Shandong, Anhui and other places have been raided by the Nien Army for more than ten years. The population has been depleted and the villages and small towns are in dilapidated condition.
There is a popular saying among the people, "Break into Shandong!"
The unemployed people all went to Shandong to settle down, and a wave of immigrants was in the ascendant, sweeping across the entire north.
Li Guolou had something in mind and murmured to himself: "Miao Fanlu, be safe and wish you good luck." After saying this, Li Guolou walked down the watchtower and walked towards the front courtyard. Two guards stood at the door of the courtyard.
Li Guolou nodded slightly to them, praising them for sticking to their posts and maintaining the amiable demeanor of an officer and being close to the people.
"Bang!" The two guards raised their guns and raised their guns in a military salute to Li Guolou. The bright bayonets on the barrels gave off an eye-catching cold light.
Several old farmers in the living room were cowering and sitting on stools with their waists bent, not saying a word, for fear that the officials would come to settle the accounts, drag them outside under the old locust tree, and shoot them!
Dongqing and several other Balizhuang's new favorites listened to what others were saying, nodding frequently in approval, with flattering smiles in their eyes.
Hei Zhuzhu already had the air of a women's captain. She stood at the threshold, with her left hand on her waist and her right hand pointing here and there, asking several women to serve as waiters. Her loud roaring voice drowned out the chattering and laughing officials.
Ai Hai and other police officers gathered together with Wu Jinshui and other militia members, lamenting the bitter experience, fighting bravely for the country and the people, and working hard to share the worries of the people. No matter how hard and tired they were, they must do their duty with all their heart.
The living room was lively and everyone was looking for topics of interest. Li Guolou heard discordant sounds. Several members of the militia were talking about the war, boasting about their superb martial arts and accurate marksmanship. Li Guolou held a gun in his hand.
He rolled up the manuscript, walked into the living room, and took the lead in saying: "Old man, don't get up. Sit down, sit down, sit down. I'm younger than you, so I should give you a courtesy."
After a string of laughter like silver bells, he looked ugly and reprimanded: "Wu Jinshui, shut your mouth. If I hear you talk about war again in the future, then go back to the capital. I just want to stay here."
We must pretend to be the people of Balizhuang, coexist peacefully, promote each other, create a better future together, and build Balizhuang into a model village of the Qing Empire. This is our purpose. Only in this way can we be worthy of Lord Bao's trust. Do you understand?"
Seeing Li Guolou going crazy, his face elongated into a horse face, chatting and laughing with the policeman, the militia members stood up like a spear, "It's Captain Li! We understand!"
"Sit!" Li Guolou casually threw the manuscript on the table of the Eight Immortals. He lifted his official robe and acted like an official ascending to the court in the play. The horse was sitting on the main seat like a golden character.
Li Guolou picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea. He touched the teacup and found that the water temperature was too high. He put down the teacup helplessly and said casually: "I will set the tone first. I take the initiative to stay here. I am not asking the people of Balizhuang to respect me.
Some of you are officials and receive a salary from the government. You have to rely on your own ability and do not need to bribe me. Haixin and other officials who were originally from Balizhuang joined the rebel bandits because they were involved with them.
They rebelled against the people's soldiers and were taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. A just trial awaits them, and the fields and houses here have been confiscated."
Li Guolou glanced around at the villagers in Balizhuang, making them shudder and lower their heads. When his eyes only glanced at a few female compatriots, Li Guolou quickly passed by without making eye contact with the female compatriots.
Li Guolou coughed and said, "Well, let me first state here that no one is allowed to tell me, 'This land was originally mine, and I lent it to the officials of Zhou Dynasty to evade taxes.' I can't take it out."
Those who hold land deeds will have all their land confiscated. This is the punishment for tax evasion on your part!" He sneered secretly. There are only a few tricks that the bumpkin can use to make you dumb and unable to express your suffering, while he can firmly grasp the speech.
It saves you a lot of disputes and official affairs.
The sound of chirping sparrows has reached everyone's ears, and the villagers of Balizhuang can't sit still. After the villagers pushed and pushed, an old farmer was finally pushed to the forefront. Encouraged by everyone, the old farmer stood up.
He stood up, took off his hat, and bowed respectfully to Li Guolou.
Zhou Jian, who had gray hair and a goatee, said with a grimace: "Captain Li, whatever you say, that's it. Since the owner has changed, someone will always suffer. We, the people of Balizhuang, also recognize it. Who can
I asked those young people to mobilize their minds and believe the rhetoric of the White Lotus Sect. But there are so many people here who follow the White Lotus Sect to rebel, and there is a legitimate reason." At this point, Zhou Jian did not dare to continue speaking, and looked in fear.
Li Guolou was afraid that Li Guolou would say, "Drag the remnants of the White Lotus Sect out and feed them to the dogs!"
"Old man, I'm not guilty of speaking. I'm listening." Li Guolou picked up the tea cup, crossed his legs, took a sip of tea in an elegant manner, and spit out the broken tea leaves in his mouth. Why can't Hei Zhuzhu serve the superior?
If a superior does not understand that when drinking tea, he must drink good tea. Where did the Huangshan Maofeng tea he brought with him go?
Zhou Jian stood trembling slightly, hunched over, and said in a low voice: "Captain Li, our Balizhuang is located in the south of Yunmeng Mountain. There happens to be a stream passing through our village, so it is a place with sufficient water resources. But we have a
The villagers of Qilitun are evil neighbors. They have a bully in the village, Zhengjiang, who just pulls a tributary downstream and uses the water in our village without paying a penny, leaving our fields with insufficient water. We villagers in Balizhuang and
The people from Qilitun fought several times, trying to block the gap in the water source, but they were unable to defeat the villagers of Qilitun. They were completely defeated and more than a dozen villagers died. Even Zhou Daguan was kidnapped by the bully Muramasa Jiangzheng.
In the end, the Zhou Daguan people signed an unequal treaty and sold out the interests of us Balizhuang villagers. So the people here were bewitched by the Hokage and said they would avenge us. The villagers were full of anger and wiped out the Zhou Daguan family who betrayed the interests of our village.
The land occupied by Qili Tun is 500 acres. Captain Li, you must always make the decision for our village regarding this land and water sources."
"Yes, yes! Captain Li, you have to make the decision for us." "Master Bao is not here, you can't be the hands-off shopkeeper!" "Captain Li, you have a hundred guns."
The kneeling villagers shouted like a tsunami, wishing that Li Guolou would rush into Qilitun just like he did into Balizhuang and seek justice for them. He would cut off the river flowing into Qilitun and take back the 500 acres of land belonging to Balizhuang.
Li Guolou did not expect that the villagers of Balizhuang were so difficult to deal with. When they went out to suppress the bandits, they had to solve the land and water problems for the "robbers". Some of the grievances and resentments between the villages had existed for several generations. The government came forward to
What kind of virtue and ability can he solve the problems that cannot be solved? Can he resolve the hatred that exists between generations?
As for the water flow problem, it should be that it was originally a small stream, but it was turned into a big river by the villagers downstream. With 500 acres of land, villages are connected to each other. Who can draw a standard baseline?
Li Guolou looked at the kneeling villagers, smiled and made a gesture of support, and said: "Everyone, please stand up. I make decisions for the people, but I can't listen to your village's one-sided words. That's good. In the past two days, I have
I will personally go to Qili Tun. After understanding the ins and outs, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. I will never sign a humiliating treaty. No matter how rich and powerful Qili Tun is, as long as Mr. Bao’s shrine remains in Balizhuang, you will
It will be the richest, safest and most powerful village on the outskirts of the capital."
The villagers sat down again and looked at Li Guolou with much more cordial eyes. His rhetoric was equally inspiring. Balizhuang had a new talker, and he was an extremely powerful official.
