But Huang Xunkun is very difficult to deal with. He is not an ignorant boy. He has fought in wars and killed people. He is also a scholar, and his family is a rich man. He is civilized, military and wealthy. To win him over, threaten him.
Don't be afraid. In the past, the two sides have always adopted the attitude of not violating the river's waters, and that's all.
This time, Chen Minggang wanted to use the power of the Australians to subdue the big players to squeeze out more benefits, and Huang Henkun wanted to embarrass the Australians through his opposition to "Zhang Tian". The two met like this, and started to move forward.
Upgrade step by step.
Even Wu De, who personally set off this turmoil, did not expect that a plan that was originally intended to make Chen Minggang "full of evil" would arouse reactions from all aspects of the county, eventually creating a situation that he did not expect.
Chen Minggang immediately called for a sedan chair and went to Dongmen City to visit Wu De. However, he missed the opportunity. The guard at the door politely said that Chief Wu was "travelling" and if he had anything to do, he would leave a message. If it was a small matter,
The chief's secretary will take care of it. Chen Minggang knew that the so-called "chief's secretary" was a maid and could not make the final decision on such a big matter. He could not directly use the power of the Australians. Chen Minggang rolled his eyes and asked someone to write
He wrote a letter and reported that Huang Xunkun had "contacted grain farmers with the intention of resisting the conquest." He then ordered people to go back. On the way, he calculated the relationship between the Huang family and the Australians, and how to kill Huang Xunkun.
The result afterwards.
Killing Huang Shoutong's son is by no means a trivial matter. In Lingao, the only people who can do this without incident are the Australians. Once Mr. Huang goes crazy, his group is no match at all. Chen Minggang's wishful thinking is to let the Australians come forward and do something cruel.
This little bastard should be severely punished until the Huang family is wiped out like the Gou family. But now it seems that the Australians do not intend to be this villain - at least not right now.
"In this case, let's just let this kid have a good time. I can't help but you guys don't come forward!" Chen Minggang had just returned to his place and had already made up his mind. He then ordered someone to call a few of his cronies, and gave these instructions.
Ichiban. Of course, Zhou Qi was also called.
As soon as Zhou Qi came, Chen Minggang's face sank, and he shouted "Kneel down!" and then gave him a few big slaps. Zhou Qi was stunned. He thought that he had done nothing wrong recently -
Even the surveillance near Qiuhong's house has been done by others recently.
"Hmph, you think you've done a good job!" Chen Minggang reprimanded with a stern face, "I'm not even close to death yet, so why are you so anxious to show off our friendship?"
Zhou Qi was horrified when he heard that his master had discovered his secret, but he did not dare to admit it. He just argued that he had done as he was told and did not dare to violate his master's care.
"Forget about one or two households. Each of the grain households you deal with reports according to the lowest threshold. You think the master is a fool!" Chen Minggang roared, and slapped him a few more times, making Zhou Qi look at him.
Mao Jinxing said, "Go and squeeze me hard again right now!"
"Master, everything has been settled, let's talk about it again-" Zhou Qi covered his face and whispered.
"It's you who negotiated with them, not me." Chen Minggang sneered, "Want to be nice and please? Wait until I'm dead! Go tell the big bosses: Mr. Australia is not satisfied, at least add 10% more. Get out!"
Zhou Qi ran away in embarrassment. Chen Minggang called in all the grain clerks who were watching the excitement outside the house.
"Okay, now we have to let the boy named Huang make a fuss about this matter." As he said this, he said to his opponent, a man with a savage face and a butcher look, "Old Zhang, you take a few people to Liu Dalin's house.
Those relatives and friends' houses - they all have their own fields, so let me make a good fuss, understand!"
"Got it!" Lao Zhang excitedly geared up.
"There are also a group of scholars from the county school who are also helping each family cook well." Chen Minggang said, "Let Xiao Huang mobilize everyone."
Someone below asked uneasily: "It's really a big deal. Do the Australians want us to look good? Liu Dalin and the others are very important to the Australians..."
"Don't worry." Chen Minggang gave them reassurance, "The Australians treat big households so that they don't make trouble and pay food obediently. If they make trouble and refuse to pay food, will they still look good?"
"Yeah, yeah." Everyone nodded together.
"We are helping the Australians to work. Without us, would the county be able to harvest food?" Chen Minggang encouraged his men.
Naturally, when things get serious, the Australians must give an explanation to the big business owners, and ask Chen Minggang and his gang to find a scapegoat and punish them to calm the people's resentment. This scapegoat is not difficult to find, anyway, just give him a lot of money to protect him from death -
The Australians may not want him dead.
Once things get serious, the leader, Huang Xunkun, will naturally not have a good life - the culprit will be punished and threats will never be investigated. This is how every dynasty and generation has dealt with people making trouble. The Huang family has been Australians since then.
They are a thorn in the side. Even if they are not dealt with immediately, the day when the Huang family will be finished in the county is just around the corner.
Besides: there is a blood feud between the Huang family and the Australians. Chen Minggang felt that most Australians would not take it calmly.
Zhou Qi came out of the teahouse in embarrassment, covering his red and swollen face. People along the way couldn't help but gape, and some people were pointing. He was immediately disgraced, but he didn't dare to have an attack at all, so he had to go back to his private parts and hit him.
I scrubbed it thoroughly with a basin of cold water and found that my lips were numb.
"Such a cruel attack! Damn it!" Zhou Qi cursed angrily. His heart was full of resentment. At this moment, he wanted to go to Gou Bri immediately and said that he was willing to come out and be the "housekeeper" and listen to the orders of the Australians.
But after all, they have been masters and apprentices for twenty years. It's not that Zhou Qi has any feelings for Chen Minggang, but that he has been frightened out of his courage by his master's power for a long time. Now it is really a bit difficult for him to immediately make up his mind to betray his master.
I was scared. I thought about it for a long time and still couldn’t make up my mind.
Outside, the city was full of storms. Following Chen Minggang's instructions, the grain collectors once again went out to claim that "Australians are not satisfied" and asked the grain households to pay more for more land and rice. The grain households who had already negotiated the terms
Caught in great panic and anger, the number of people who came to Zhang Youfu's home to complain suddenly increased. Even Zhang Youfu was shocked: Why did the situation suddenly become violent? He quickly calmed everyone down and reported to Chu Yu immediately.
went.
Liu Dalin's family was in turmoil. Relatives and friends came to complain one after another, complaining about the arrogance and unreasonableness of the grain clerks - when had they ever been treated like this by ordinary people? The vulgar and despicable servants went straight into the middle hall and talked with their feet raised.
If someone says something wrong, he immediately slaps the table and yells.
"We can't survive this day, you have to think of a way for us." Relatives and friends came to plead one after another.
"How has a family like ours ever been so humiliated?" cried an uncle of Liu Dalin's distant clan. In fact, he was just a small rich man in the countryside. Ever since Liu Dalin's father became an official, he started to "tremble".
Even a person with some status in the county was so humiliated by a few grain men that he immediately came to this nephew to ask for reinforcements.
Liu Dalin had no choice but to persuade him, and at the same time he hurriedly went to Huang Xunkun and asked him to settle the matter as soon as possible so that he could go and see the Australians.
Huang Xunkun's work has also gone much smoother. Some grain farmers who originally thought there was no need to cause trouble now also actively ask to participate in the joint petition - it is too bullying to go back on one's word!
Chen Minggang learned from his subordinates that Huang Hankun and others were jumping up and down very enthusiastically, and he secretly laughed in his heart: Just wait for the Australians to take care of them.
The actions of both parties naturally fell into the eyes of the leadership group. The development of the matter to this point was a bit unexpected for everyone. It also allowed them to see the intricate relationships and human emotions in Lingao County.
However, in general, the development of the incident was in the direction they expected. It was just the news that Chen Minggang was messing around in the countryside that made some in the leadership group lose their temper.
"We have finally established a good relationship with big business owners and intellectuals. If Chen Minggang messes with us like this, will it hurt our eyes? Should we give them a proper warning and ask them to stop?"
"No need." Wu De looked at the reports sent from all sides, "There will be great peace only after great chaos. The more violent the chaos Chen Minggang made, the better. The more violent the chaos, the more reason he had to punish the subordinates; secondly, he also had to punish the big bosses.
They will consume a lot of energy, so that next time when we build land by ourselves, they won’t have the energy to bother with it anymore.”
"What if someone gets killed?"
"Do you pay for your life by killing someone?" Wu De said calmly, "No matter who kills whom, the person who dies is just a subordinate, a wealthy person or a scholar, it doesn't matter."
"Damn, you are inciting the masses to fight against the masses. High, really high!"
"We are going to carry out social reform. If we don't toss this group of powerful people in this county, how can we continue to implement it?" Wu De said, "After an incident, people will naturally be determined. As long as it is conducive to stability and unity, we will do anything.
There won’t be much resistance.”
"I didn't expect that there was a plan in our plan. Ade, you are hiding something private."
"Nothing!" Wu De denied flatly, "The plan is the original plan. To reach this point is somewhat of a coincidence, and it is also the result of people's hearts." He said, "We used Chen Minggang's calculations, and Chen Minggang knew it very well.
. He is not using us. He just miscalculated two points. First, we have technology and management levels that are beyond the times and do not need his old system that he regards as a treasure. Second, he does not know our ambitions.
It's about reforming the social system, not simply gathering money. I really can't blame him, because he can't have such insight." He sighed, "This is probably the advantage that the differences in the times give us."
