Zhou Qi had never thought about the way out. But as soon as Gou Bri said these words, he immediately became alert. He couldn't help but glance at the other party and asked tentatively: "Is there any way out?"
Goubi no longer remained cryptic and whispered: "Don't you want to be the secretary of this county one day?"
Zhou Qi just wanted to say that Master has three sons and it would never be his turn no matter what. He immediately realized that with Goubuli's qualifications, what ability could he say such a thing? There must be someone behind the scenes who was instigating Zi Ai.
The matter was of great importance, so Zhou Qi became cautious: "How could you not want to go to higher places!"
"As long as you have this idea, that's fine." Goubli immediately revealed to him in a low voice the Australian's intention of letting him serve as the new House Secretary.
"How is this possible!" Zhou Qi shook his head after hearing this, "Don't you know that the household book office is all about having a fish scale book? If the master refuses to pass the book to me, it will be useless to be a book manager!"
"Don't worry about this. Australians are very capable. Do you think they can't handle such a small thing?" Goubli's little eyes blinked.
Zhou Qi nodded: "Australians are not so kind. They asked me to be the clerk for no reason. There must be some conditions, right?"
Gou Bri smiled and nodded: "Brother Seven, you are happy! In fact, there are no conditions. It is said that once the emperor has one minister, now the Australians have the final say in Lingao. They always hope to replace all the Yamen with their own people, so as to make people happy."
Easier than…”
"How can I be considered one of their own?" Zhou Qi asked doubtfully.
"Haha, open the skylight and speak frankly." Goubuli's eyes sparkled, "If the Australians didn't know anything about food requisitions and fish scale books, would it be your turn to be the secretary of the household? Now is an opportunity! You can
Don’t miss it!”
Zhou Qi was silent. The arrival of the Australians is indeed an opportunity! Now in the county, as long as you lie down in front of their strange half-waisted cloth boots and sell yourself to join them, you will definitely get more or less benefits. Now they are taking the initiative to recruit themselves and drive out
The location of the house office is so attractive.
But Zhou Qi didn't dare to agree. Firstly, because he had "betrayed his master and harmed his Tao", he became a very evil figure among the subordinates. Secondly, given the personality of the master, it was impossible for him to abdicate in favor of a worthy person.
, must have been forced to give up his position by the Australians. There will definitely be a lot of right and wrong in the future.
"Don't worry." Goubuli seemed to know what he was afraid of. "Your master will naturally be willing when the time comes." He made a malicious gesture, "You are his great disciple, and it is up to you to pick him up."
No one has anything to say about the location.”
Zhou Qi's heart skipped a beat. The first thing he did when he was a subordinate was to forget his conscience, so the question of what would happen to his master had no emotional impact on him. He was only worried about the consequences.
"He has a son, how can it be my turn? Don't forget that Xingshu Zhang Shi is their uncle!" He shook his head repeatedly, "Besides, the master's men have a lot of food shortages, so they may not all obey me."
"Whether I can convince you or not depends on your ability. Otherwise, what will the Australians want from you? The Australians are not your biological fathers." Goubli said nakedly, "As for the affairs of the Zhang brothers, you don't have to worry about them.
Of course I will help you with the cooking."
This was a clear message to him that the Australians would "protect him" and the Zhang brothers could not be more ruthless.
Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said very carefully: "Brother Gou! We are all natives of our hometown. To be honest, do you think this Australian can stay here for a long time?"
Gou Bri smiled: "Whether he stays long or not, it doesn't matter whether you are the 'housekeeper' of Lingao County Government in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhou Qi's heart suddenly became enlightened. Yes! This is not a "fake job", but a serious "official official". Whether the Australians are here or not is not the same thing! He just needs to seize the opportunity and take advantage of it in the past few years.
The Australians have managed their forces well and cleared away the unsightly people. Even if the army comes back, he will still sit firmly in this position!
If he couldn't hold himself up, he would naturally have no choice but to get out. But Zhou Qi didn't think he was any worse than his master. He always felt that Chen Minggang could only get to this point by relying on his family background.
I am just at a disadvantage because of my background.
However, this matter was a big one, so I had to think about it carefully. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Gou, please go back and tell the Australian Prime Minister: I have to think about this matter."
"Okay, think about it carefully." Goubli did not rush, "It won't be too late to give me a reply in a few days." He added, "I have tea downstairs every morning."
The women's cooperative restaurant also launched a "morning tea" business like later generations. Although they were short of flour, they could only make simple rice flour snacks for the time being, which made the place busy every morning.
Zhou Qi was no longer in the mood to eat or drink and went to mind his own business. Gou Bri continued to eat and drink alone in the single room. After a while, the door curtain was raised and Zhou Botao walked in. He was dressed like a wealthy businessman.
Brie reported the conversation in detail. In fact, Zhou Botao had already heard it in the listening room of the restaurant, but the two people were speaking in Lingao dialect, so he didn't understand it clearly. He had to explain it when he got back.
Translate and organize it for specialized people.
"...Zhou Qi is tempted, but he is afraid that his colleagues will not tolerate him..."
"Comrade?"
"It's the clerks in the yamen. Zhou Qi is an outsider after all. If Chen Minggang gave him the seat clearly, everyone would naturally have nothing to say. Even if the chief supports him to take the position, his position will not be stable."
"This position should not have come so easily." Zhou Botao said something incomprehensible with a smile on his face.
"Yes," Goubuli didn't know what the chief's plan was, but it was obvious that he had bad intentions, "...and he was also worried about the attitude of the Zhang brothers. The two brothers were not nice to him, and they were the uncles of Chen Minggang's son.
He can't stand it if he wants to look good."
Zhou Botao seemed not interested in this and asked again: "Do you think he has anything to do with Qiu Hong?"
Gou Bri smiled: "He wouldn't dare to beat him to death! Lao Ba is not ambiguous about women at all. Touching his women is like touching his ancestral graves. Zhou Qi would have died if he dared to do this.
Seventeen or eighteen times."
Huang Xunkun finally got some clues about the matter. He talked a lot with the big families in the city and near the county. After knowing that Liu Dalin was willing to come forward to negotiate with the Australians, the heads of each family became more courageous.
As long as someone is willing to come forward, the Chinese people are still happy to join in the booing, not to mention that this is a matter related to their own interests. Everyone expressed their willingness to jointly submit a letter. In his speech, Huang Huangkun also tested the attitude of the big families towards the thieves -
―Most people expressed dissatisfaction with the Australians' "unclear employment", but other things could not be discussed. Huang Hankun took the opportunity to imply in his words: Chen Minggang was just a pawn, and it was actually the Australians' original intention to exploit the land.
. Unexpectedly, when he said this, the other party would either look away from him, or simply remain silent. He did not show any excitement. This made Huang Hankun very disappointed: In the past, every time the county government had to do something big or small, it would always be...
Some big players strongly opposed it. In the past few years, in order to build Changpingcang, several powerful big players in the county caused a stir, forcing the matter to be dropped.
"They are so obedient now! They are really the ones who won't shed tears until they see the coffin!" Huang Hankun cursed secretly. But it was a good achievement to finally convince them to sign a joint name.
After finishing his day's work, he returned to the county school. In order to facilitate his work, he did not live in a school with servants, but in the courtyard of the "Archery Garden". Archery is one of the "Six Arts" in "The Rites of Zhou"
One, so the county school also has this facility, but it has been abandoned for many years. Huang Hankun lived here with his two servants.
As soon as he arrived at the lower office, Li Xiaopeng came to see him. He said that he had convinced about ten more classmates to sign up for this matter.
"These few people were originally disgusted with Australians, but the family's control was tight and they didn't dare to agree casually." Li Xiaopeng said, "Now I said that if Mr. Liu came forward, their family would not stay out of the matter, so they agreed.
Yes. But we have to send someone back to ask for instructions."
Huang Xunkun said: "My little brother, I will pay them a visit in the next few days, and then I will naturally agree to it."
"There are still a few poor people," Li Xiaopeng said. "They are just coveting a few circulation coupons from Australians, so I promised them some benefits. Then I relaxed and said that as long as everyone is willing to sign together, they will also sign along.
.”
Huang Hankun originally thought that Li Xiaopeng was just a playboy, but he didn't expect that he was really capable of doing things seriously. He talked about things without results for a long time, but he achieved such results in just half a day. It's really amazing.
Watch with admiration.
"Okay, I have to ask you to put more effort into this matter." Huang Hankun said, "Mr. Liu is our backing, so don't be afraid - Australians also respect Mr. Liu very much."
Huang Hongkun secretly contacted the big players to submit a letter, and it soon reached Chen Minggang's ears.
"Huh, these scholars are really full." Chen Minggang said angrily.
Even though they are angry, things have to be dealt with. The students are people with a good reputation, and one or two poor scholars are nothing. When they are gathered together, it is difficult to deal with them, let alone the fact that they have recruited Liu Dalin to serve as their banner.
Liu Dalin's market has been bullish among Australians recently. If he comes out to speak on behalf of the grain farmers, coupled with a group of sour people making noises, the Australians will have to make some gestures to come out - wouldn't this be damaging to themselves?
He could not and did not dare to deal with Liu Dalin. Chen Minggang knew this very well. But Liu Dalin had no ability to move. He was just the Bodhisattva who was moved out. The key to the matter still lies with Huang Hankun.
A snake can't do without a head. As long as Huang Hankun is stopped running for it, the matter posted on the joint name will go away.
