"If my uncle is willing to come forward, my nephew will be a pawn on the horse, running for the vanguard." Huang Henkun looked very enthusiastic.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Huang Huangkun said goodbye and came out, full of energy. He stood on the street for a while to collect himself, and decided to go back to the county school to contact his classmates. Everyone brainstormed and wrote an emotional report, so that it could be opened to Liu Dalin.
Open your eyes.
The students are all well-educated and sensible people. Throughout the dynasties, scholars have been the pillars of the country. He firmly believes that the students in this county are also such pillars.
However, many scholars in the county school are not very enthusiastic about this matter. Although Ren Huang Hankun said that this is a major matter of concern to the whole county, most people are still very hesitant. Some people say that this is a matter for their elders, and it is inconvenient for younger generations.
Interjected; some even turned pale with fright when they heard that they were going to file a petition for Australians, and simply stopped talking. As for the students who came from poor families, they were not interested in this proposal because their families didn’t have much land at all.
In their simplest and most realistic feelings: What if they offend the Australians and stop the food subsidy for themselves? Finally, with this subsidy, the family can take a breather, the wife and children can eat a few full meals, and save a little
By the end of the year, I can still pull some fabrics and buy a few pounds of meat to improve things.
Huang Xunkun spoke so hard that he didn't get anyone's support except for a member of the Li family in the county named Li Xiaopeng. Not to mention everyone came up with the idea to write this "complaint post". Li
Xiaopeng's family can be regarded as a "noble family" in the county. His ancestors were from northern Anhui. They once followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, became a local official, and settled here ever since. The Li family used to be one of the best in the county.
The reason for the rich man is not the amount of land his family owns, but the fact that his family has long-term hereditary monopoly on the "dung section" in Lingao County.
The owner of the dung section is responsible for cleaning up the excrement for the residents. Although this business sounds very smelly, in fact, the owner does not need to do it himself. He hires dung dumpers from farmers in the four villages to do the work, and he does not even need to pay wages.
―The manure is paid directly as wages. The cleaned manure and garbage are bought by farmers as fertilizer. This income is not only stable but also lucrative. In Lingao County, where industry and commerce are extremely underdeveloped, it is a big business. The Li family
Through this, he also engaged in rural loan sharking business and accumulated considerable property.
If you have money, you must buy land. The Li family also owns thousands of acres of land in the countryside. The matter of grain requisition is closely related to his family. Secondly, Li Xiaopeng has great hostility towards Australians. It turns out that his family has always been considered the richest man in the county.
Although the Gou family has a lot of money, they cannot show off or show off. Since the arrival of the Australians, there have suddenly been several nouveau riche, especially Lin Quan'an - when the poor suddenly become rich, they inevitably have to show off. And he
He traveled all over the island to purchase various industrial and agricultural materials for the Chuanhuan Group. He gained a lot of knowledge and became the first person in the county in terms of food enjoyment, which made Li Xiaopeng very unconvinced.
He was also a restless man who liked to stir up trouble. He originally thought that studying in the county school was boring. When he heard that this incident would embarrass the Australians, he immediately expressed his willingness to help.
Li Xiaopeng's articles were not very good, but he had quite a few friends. A single greeting could gather forty or fifty people. Huang Hankun felt that although these idlers were of no use, they could at least build up momentum - country people were timid.
At that time, I am afraid that some people will be too timid to come.
Huang Henkun saw that he had little effect in the county school, so he planned to lobby among several large households in the city. He immediately went to Wang Ci to apply for leave.
After leaving the county school, he was walking hurriedly on the street. The corner of the Confucian Temple was extremely deserted and there were few pedestrians. Huang Hankun was walking alone, but he suddenly tripped. Fortunately, he had some martial arts background and his foot was very stable. He stumbled.
After a few steps, I stopped. I saw a beggar sitting in the corner, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. A bamboo pole was stretched across the middle of the alley.
Because Australians are not allowed to have beggars, anyone who comes to beg in their territory, no matter how they pretend to be pitiful or really pitiful, will be arrested by the police station, and the sick ones will be sent to the hospital for treatment - to practice for the first batch of medical students.
Those who are not sick are directly arrested to work in the labor reform team. The number of beggars in the county has been reduced a lot, and the remaining ones have flowed into the county town to continue their careers. The Australians here do not care.
Huang Xunkun said angrily: "You beggar, why are the bamboo poles swinging around?" He wanted to give him a few kicks, but he thought that he had other important things to do and had no time to compete with the beggar.
The beggar was not afraid, and slowly took the bamboo pole back. The man raised his head slightly, and his dirty face, which was pitch black and had no visible color, actually grinned:
"Brother Kun Kun, you are fine."
Huang Hankun was shocked. The voice sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't figure out who it was. Looking at the other person carefully, he saw several scars scattered across the dirty face, which looked very disgusting. But the face was very familiar and hesitant.
shouted: "You are -"
"Gou Chengxuan!" The beggar smiled, his smile uglier than crying, "Why, can't you recognize me?"
"It's you?!...Why did you go back to the county seat..."
"Hush, it's not enough for outsiders!" The beggar made a low-pitched gesture. Seeing that he wanted to ask another question, the other party whispered: "Fubo Temple behind the Confucian Temple, I'm there." After that, he shook his hair again.
He was speechless.
Huang Hankun looked around and saw no pedestrians passing by, so he left quickly.
His heart beat wildly: Gou Chengxuan is back in Lingao!
Although the entire Gou family is notorious, Gou Chengxuan is no exception - this man is proficient in money lending and gambling, and is a good hand in the family's "career". Although he may not be virtuous, he is talented. He was admitted as a scholar.
Since then, the Gou family's arrogance has become even more arrogant. Gou Chengxuan rarely comes to the county school - he has no intention of doing so, and he also knows that he is not well received by the teachers and students in the county school. Apart from occasionally coming for a walk
I rarely saw him except to say hello. Because Huang Hankun had a bad impression of the Gou family, he never treated Gou Chengxuan with disdain.
The day before yesterday, he had just seen a notice in the county school. Guangdong Xuetai Yamen had issued a document to Lingao County Yamen to revoke Gou Chengxuan's reputation as a scholar. Judging from the actions of Gou Er and his son, it was a very happy move to banish this scholar. However,
I feel strange - it has been almost a year since the Gou family was destroyed and Gou Er and his son disappeared. Why did such a text suddenly appear?
Unexpectedly, Gou Chengxuan was so bold that he dared to sneak into the county! Huang Hankun's heart tightened - why did he take the risk to return to the county? He must be seeking revenge on the Australians. I didn't expect Gou Chengxuan to be so smart! Although he has always been
I looked down on this man, but now I have to admire his courage.
In fact, Gou Chengxuan returned to the county out of necessity. Ever since his father went to Lingao Mountain to seek refuge with his former bandit brother, he had been hiding in Qiongshan County and living in seclusion - Mr. Zhu Cai had been looking for him.
They originally received a letter from his father once every month or two, but then there was no news at all. After asking for a long time, there was no news. It was only later that they got the news from the merchant: Lingao was suppressing bandits and the bandits had been wiped out.
Gou Chengxuan was so anxious after hearing the news: Firstly, his father's whereabouts were unknown, and secondly, the father and son fled in a hurry without much money with them. Their activities in Qiongzhou Mansion and Guangzhou had already consumed a lot of money, and they saw that all the money around them was about to be exhausted.
, he was about to live on the street, Gou Chengxuan had no choice but to take the risk and return to Lingao.
Lingao couldn't go to his wife's house. The relationship between Gou Chengxuan and his wife was very bad. He married her on a whim because she saw her daughter was pretty. He got tired of it soon after the marriage. On the d-day, his wife returned home
If he went to join his father-in-law this time, he would be tied up immediately and beheaded by the Australians.
I thought only my maternal family could go there. Even if I couldn't take him in, I could always do it by giving him some money. But I didn't know if the thieves came to eradicate the roots and slaughtered his maternal family as well. Gou Chengxuan disguised himself as a beggar and sneaked in.
Lingao. He was cautious all the way to his maternal home, asking for food, and was finally able to meet his relatives. However, he did not dare to stay here. This must be the focus of the thieves' attention. If there was a sudden attack, he would be a turtle in the urn.
.
Finally, he decided to go back to the county town: he heard that the Kun thieves rarely went to the county town, and the city was still the same. He used to be a groundworm in the county, and he was familiar with every corner of the county town. It was still possible to find a place to hide secretly.
.
But he had too many acquaintances in the county - there were quite a few cliques among the former subordinates. These people would fall out of favor faster than flipping through a book, and they might sell him out. Gou Chengxuan finally got worried and slapped it on his face.
He made a few scars and shaved his eyebrows. He had been frightened these days and had lost a lot of weight. In addition, he had eaten and slept in the open, and his complexion was dark. Coupled with this, he was confident that acquaintances would no longer be able to see him at first glance.
Then he sneaked into the county and settled directly in Fubo Temple behind the county school. Ma Yuan, enshrined in Fubo Temple, was a very neglected place among the many "official sacrifices" in the county. Even the incense Taoist priests were not there.
, only some beggars settled there.
To his surprise, he found the Lai brothers who were originally in his family in the ancestral hall. Since the Gou family was destroyed, the two brothers had lost their livelihood. He usually worked as a servant for the Gou family and could not help but be a bit proud of his power. After he fell into despair, everyone pushed him away.
, no one was willing to take care of them, the two brothers had been idle since childhood, they did not know how to make a living and were unwilling to work hard, so they became beggars.
When the three masters and servants met, they immediately hugged each other and cried. Ordinarily, Gou Chengxuan and the two brothers had no feelings for each other, but now they were both degraded people, and they were much closer in their hearts. The Lai brothers didn't have much experience, so when they saw the young master coming back, they encouraged him
