Zhang Xiao’s inspection of Nanhai County came to an end and he returned to Guangzhou City. Although Foshan cannot be used as the county seat at present, as the first step for him to carry out work in Nanhai County, it is necessary to leave Guangzhou City. In Guangzhou City and the Municipal Government
It is very troublesome to deal with a bunch of provincial agencies. There are also jurisdictional issues.
He discussed this issue with Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang agreed with him and said that Foshan Town in the future would be the most ideal seat for the Nanhai County government. However, he could only overcome it for the time being.
After discussing with his staff, he selected three places for the temporary seat of Nanhai County, namely Dali, Shishan and Qiandeng Lake. Finally, after comprehensive consideration, he selected Dali as the new county seat.
Temporary residence.
Fortunately, it is just a relocation and does not involve the complicated work of building a county seat. And he will not take away all the current Nanhai County team, because many of the local cadres live in Guangzhou city and suburbs, allowing them to come with them.
Going to Dali not only increases the cost of relocation, but most of their work experience is from the urban area. Therefore, after careful consideration, it was decided to only take away some of the personnel from the Nanhai County Government. The remaining personnel were directly transferred to the Guangzhou Municipal Government. With the current cadres
In terms of configuration, Guangzhou will no longer have separate districts to reduce levels and streamline organizations. The administrative office of Panyu County will also be moved to Shiqiao at a later date.
After the busy autumn harvest, the farmers can finally stretch out and relax a little. Most of the children can also run around the farm with smiles on their faces, without having to worry about the scolding of their parents. Some anxious families in the farm also drifted out.
The neighbors smelled the fragrance of new rice and were a little envious, but they couldn't help but scornfully said a few words about not cherishing blessings.
A few days ago, a small boat came to Xiaoyaowei. The people on this small boat, which once made Jin Zhu uneasy, were indeed "Kun people". However, they were not cadres who had gone to the countryside, but the Kun people's theater troupe.
This is the first time for an Australian troupe to come to Li Ka Wai. However, before that, they often appeared in the market and also visited Xiaoyao Market. Therefore, this improved version of puppet show using later Cantonese opera singing is not new to the local area.
It's over.
The Australian puppet troupe borrowed a house to live in the Tugu Temple in the village, set up a curtain on the vacant threshing floor, erected a tent, put up a theater box, and started singing.
Some entertainment activities in rural areas, whether they are opera troupes, singers, boxers, horse racing and selling solutions... all are looking for business in the market. If not invited by the village, they will not come to the village to run the dock. In
Lijiawei only invites wealthy families to perform when there is a happy event. Otherwise, they perform to entertain the gods during the games.
Now that the autumn harvest has just ended, farmers have plenty of money and not much farm work. Now that the new "Lingao Puppet Show" is being performed, everyone is happy to watch the excitement and relieve their boredom. The troupe performs twice a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
The singing is nice, and the story is compact and interesting, with ups and downs. People of all ages love to listen to it, and they can make a lot of money every time.
But as soon as the troupe came, the Eight Immortals Association, which was very active in the village, suddenly died down. After they were busy harvesting rice, the leaders of the Eight Immortals Association led the villagers to practice together. Anyone who joined the association, named Li Gongcang
There was also a subsidy. Other villages also came one after another to invite the leader to set up an altar in their village. But the original slogans about "kun thieves" were suddenly changed to "monsters", and everyone knew what they meant.
Who knows, from time to time some people shout incorrectly during practice, and they don’t reprimand them much at all.
Nowadays, all the martial arts practitioners in Lijiawei have disappeared. Who doesn’t know that this Australian troupe is getting paid by the thieves! If there is anything strange, go back and report it to the officials, and Lijiawei will not be able to eat and walk around
Not only is there no public practice anymore, but the altar of the Fairy Goddess where Jin Zhu’s mother-in-law often goes to practice Dharma is also closed. She was so anxious that Lian Niang just stamped her feet. She had already given the Fairy Girl one yuan and agreed to continue practicing the Dharma for seventy-seven forty-nine times.
God, I took the incense ashes for forty-nine days. But after less than twenty days, I stopped, and I had to start practicing the law from the beginning - which cost another one yuan!
This yuan was offered to the fairy aunt without telling the golden pig. She originally hoped that she could conceive a child through practicing the law, so she took advantage of the good news to inform the golden pig. Now that she is not pregnant yet, the one yuan has been wasted. She doesn't know where to find another yuan.
money!
Another boat arrived at the small dock in Lijiawei. The second steward, who had been waiting on the dock for a long time, first saluted Luo Hetu who was escorting the boat, and then directed the people to move several boxes off the boat, picking up and carrying loads.
, walked towards Li’s house.
After walking a few steps, he saw a group of children, reading nursery rhymes and having fun at the same time, and ran past this group of people. Luo Hetu stopped for a moment to let these children pass, and listening to the nursery rhymes, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
After only a few days away, the walrus mage made up another nursery rhyme. This person cannot study well and has a lot of stomach problems.
The second housekeeper directed the long-term servants to carry the load and go to the village. After walking for a while, Luo Hetu suddenly asked: "Why did you take a detour?"
The second housekeeper knew that Luo Hetu was now an important guest in the master's family, so he whispered: "Second master Luo, you don't know something. A group of thieves have recently come to the village..."
Immediately, he told the story about the puppet troupe coming to perform. Luo Hetu frowned and said: "This is troublesome. These fake actors in dramas are the best at deceiving people. That's fine. They are all spies of the thieves. If they are
What did they find..."
The second housekeeper said: "My master has sent people to the nearby opera troupes to sing social operas. He said that he was not afraid of spending money, so he invited the best troupes to sing opposite operas with them and forced them to leave."
Luo Hetu thought that this was also a way. Qiugu was on the stage and the weather was good this year. The villages were supposed to perform operas to reward the gods. This would not arouse the suspicion of fake Kun.
The second housekeeper continued: "Master said, this is also to cheer up everyone. The theater troupe will arrive tomorrow! When they arrive, I will tell them to leave a good seat for you." After saying this, with an obscene look on his face, "I heard that
Several of the men and women among them are all good-looking, and they are the most romantic and lovely ones..."
Luo Hetuben is a lively person, and theater troupes like this that run on the docks usually work as prostitutes, so naturally he has to come and see this play.
Arriving at the Li family courtyard, Li Guangyuan and Luo Heying had been waiting here. Seeing Luo Hetu and others arriving, they immediately ordered the servants of the inner house to take the pick and send it to the inner house.
A side courtyard in a secluded part of the inner house is now the "headquarters" of their planning. Monk Walrus and senior officials of the Eight Immortals Society live here and discuss matters here on weekdays.
When he got to the main room and sent away the servants, Li Guangyuan didn't even bother to be polite, so he asked his cronies to open the box.
Each of the three long boxes contained five brand-new Franconian guns. Li Guangyuan stepped forward and took out a gun first. The gun was about four feet long and weighed about ten kilograms.
After tearing off the gun jacket wrapped in greaseproof paper, he saw the shiny barrel and the natural wood body of the gun. Li Guangyuan, regardless of the heavy grease on the gun, took the gun in his hand and looked at it with great interest.
The other two boxes contained a thousand rounds of muskets and matching gunpowder and flash caps. These five boxes cost Li Guangyuan two hundred taels of silver, which was not a small sum for a rich country man like him.
After putting the gun back into the box and wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Li Guangyuan bowed to Luo Hetu and thanked him for taking the trouble to escort him all the way.
Luo Hetu Zhida had been watching Li Guangyuan just now, and he couldn't help criticizing Mr. Li for being too stingy. He couldn't put it down when he saw the Fran machine gun he brought, and later he used Luo Heying to build a bridge with the seller in Fujian.
After connecting to the line, he was unwilling to buy any more when he heard the quotation. Later, Luo Heying went to negotiate in person and talked with Li Guangyuanche several times, and then he bought fifteen fast guns and a thousand rounds of guns. It was only in the hands of the seller.
There isn't much in stock. If you want more, you can only pay the order price first and wait for several months before it can be shipped from Luzon. But Li Guangyuan is a master who never sees rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks. He just asked when the foreign goods will be available again.
The ship has sent a Fran machine gun, and we will contact you again then.
In Luo Hetu's eyes, these quick guns are more effective than the "spells" of the Eight Immortals Society. To put it bluntly, the stupid villagers who used the spells to threaten them were just to create momentum. If they really encounter the Australians' quick guns
The cannons were still defeated.
The so-called opening of forums and practice is nothing more than to strengthen the determination of these big households to "do whatever it takes". As long as the momentum is built up, beacon fires are everywhere, and no matter how powerful the weapons of the thieves are, they can't look around, then they will have a chance.
This fast gun is a really useful thing. This fast gun is easy to train and can be formed into an army in less than a month. When something happens, Li Guangyuan's real estate properties will turn into ashes when they are cheap, so it is better to exchange for more quickly.
Cannon, if you gather a team in a decent manner and have a good fight with the bandits, you may still have a living.
It's just that these truths cannot be told, because if you tell them, no one will be willing to follow them.
I only heard Li Guangyuan continue to say: "My dear brother, let's rest for a few days. There is a social drama in the village these days. After the social drama, I would like to trouble you to train some young men in my village. They are all young men surnamed Li who I have carefully selected.
Brother Lin Xian, please take the trouble to let them learn how to use this fast gun." After saying that, he asked the butler to give a sum of thanks as a reward for their hard work.
Luo Hetu thanked him and followed the second housekeeper out of the manor. The servants also moved the boxes into the warehouse in the backyard. Only Luo Heying and Li Guangyuan were left in the room.
Luo Heying then stepped forward and said to Li Guangyuan: "With this quick gun, Brother Li can feel more at ease."
Ever since the Kun soldiers stationed in Xiaoyaowu, Li Guangyuan had been a little worried, fearing that one day the Kun thieves would bombard Li's family, swinging himself on a swing, and he wanted to go back and forth many times about forming a regiment to resist Kun. Until one day.
Seeing how the Master of the Eight Immortals Association used talisman water, and after drinking it, several of his servants were able to fish out copper coins from the oil pan with their bare hands. Li Guangyuan repeatedly checked the servants' arms, and there was no abnormality. Only then did Li Guangyuan truly believe in the spells of the Eight Immortals Association.
