Chapter 24

"President Zhao, it's been three days, and that lunatic Li, the monster, hasn't sent anyone to send a message yet, but he doesn't want us to leave the city, but let those little people leave the county!

This is our decision! "

In a large mansion in the county seat of Chaoyang County, rich businessmen and influential people in the county gathered here, sighing to an old man with a white beard sitting in the first place.

These people are all members of the small chamber of commerce in Chaoyang County.

This kind of chamber of commerce is not an official organization promulgated by the imperial court, but a local trade protection organization formed by gentry and big merchants.

It is a bit similar to various local guilds in the West at the same time.

The identities of gentry and merchants are interlinked.

In this feudal society, it is absolutely impossible to make the business bigger and stronger without an official umbrella.

The economy of this era is still 'field-based'.

After the businessman makes money, he will buy land property immediately, and then supply the children of the clan to take the imperial examination and become an official!
And those gentry families, because they already have an official umbrella, naturally do business more smoothly. Even if they don't have any business experience, they can still rely on the gentry's privileges to make a lot of money.

Because of this, the members of the local small chamber of commerce in Chaoyang County look like businessmen, but they all have gentry backgrounds behind them, otherwise it would be impossible to enter this chamber of commerce.

In this era, there is no soil for ordinary businessmen to survive, and gentry and businessmen are often part-time jobs.

For example, President Zhao himself is a well-known landowner in Chaoyang County!

Land property is second to none. The real strength of the old Zhao family is the official protection umbrella. The deceased county magistrate Chen and Zhang Xiancheng in Chaoyang County are both guests of the old Zhao family and receive dividends every year!
As a matter of course, this kind of person should not be the chairman, and other big gentry households have 'uneasy conscience'!

Therefore, this kind of chairman is not a competition, but is picked up, and the position of the chairman is arranged for the umbrella.

And with this kind of small private chamber of commerce, government officials who want to get some long-term money, or do some things that are inconvenient for themselves, can directly find the president and person in charge of the chamber of commerce, instead of dealing with every big gentry. , saving a lot of social time.

It's just that the old Zhao's family, which used to be a leader in Chaoyang County, has now become the leader of a group of fat sheep. The big households below are afraid, and the old Zhao's family is terrified!

If Li Changqing took control of Chaoyang County and directly sent people over to negotiate with them, as long as they and their families could be released, it would be fine to pay.

But Li Changqing neither let them leave Chaoyang County, nor sent people over to negotiate with them, and stayed in the school grounds all day to 'train'.

The torment of waiting is the scariest thing.

"Everyone, don't worry, I've already sent someone to inquire about it. After the lunatic Li lunatic finished training the 20-man personal guard, he came forward to have a meeting with us.

Calculating the time, it happened to be today, so I called everyone over to discuss a countermeasure. "

"As long as that Crazy Li doesn't lock us up in the county seat and wait for the Qing Heavenly Soldiers to come and slaughter the city, he can agree to whatever request he asks!"

An impatient big family below said.

"Yao Dao Li Crazy is nothing more than wanting the food in our hands, just give it to him, and now survival is the most important thing. In just three days, the ordinary people in the county almost ran away.

The rest are either idlers organized by Yan Dingjun who are waiting to get a vote, or poor people who really have no way to escape. "

Just when everyone was making noise, a servant outside suddenly ran in hurriedly and shouted loudly: "Demon... Li Changqing is here, and he has brought someone here!"

Xiao Si Haoxuan swallowed the nickname 'Yao Dao Li Crazy' back.

Although everyone shouted that in private, if that lunatic Li heard it, he might have to move his head if he was not sure.

Crazy Li, a monster, killed the government servants and the garrison battalion in the county government avenue, and even subdued Chaoyang County, which was taken by Yan Dingjun's defense.

This is relying on the power of one person to blow up the government of Chaoyang County!

Who would dare to 'talk' in front of such a ruthless person who kills without blinking an eye?
It was precisely because of Li Changqing's overbearing rebellion that he was nicknamed a lunatic.

Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, no one would seize the county like Li Changqing...

A group of ten men, wearing the embroidered characters of "Li" without iron piece of cloth face armor, holding a blunderbuss, carrying a spear and a waist knife, surrounded Li Changqing to President Zhao's house.

The servants and maidservants in Chairman Zhao's house all fled in panic, trying to avoid them.

When these pro-guards were training, Li Changqing took the seized green battalion cloth mask and asked the tailors to change the pattern on it and embroider the word "Li" to distinguish it from the original green battalion soldiers of the Qing army.

Of course, Li Changqing paid the tailors to work overtime.

After all, those 20 soldiers who had silver notes in their hands and were waiting to receive half of the silver bills after the military training ended, none of them asked for the silver, and under Li Changqing's order, they quietly burned the white notes Lost……

In this way, Li Changqing perfectly settled the first "debt" after coming to the new world.

Although these soldiers are equipped with spears, waist knives, bird guns and other weapons, in fact, the only thing they can use proficiently is bird guns. The spears and waist knives are only used for emergencies.

The proficiency in the use of spears and waist knives is still at the stage of blindly stabbing and chopping indiscriminately.

Of course, the ability to use the bird gun is not satisfactory. It is basically impossible to hit people more than five steps away. The level is as good as Li Changqing himself...

This is the result of Yan Dingjun's hard training for three days.

These 20 pro-guards obviously cannot be used on the battlefield, but they can be used as confidantes to control Chaoyang County.

Except for the 10 people led by Li Changqing himself, the other 10 people were arranged at the city gate and the watchtower on the city wall, mixing with those recruited by Yan Dingjun, and their main duty was to supervise.

This greatly improved the work efficiency of Li Changqing's troops.

If the group of people under Li Changqing's command can be called 'army'...

Many wealthy gentry had already been mentally prepared. After seeing Li Changqing leading people in, they did not panic like those servants. They sat calmly in their seats and looked up and down the demon Daoist Li who met for the first time. madman.

When everyone saw Li Changqing for the first time, they all had the same thought—it's a pity that this lunatic Li doesn't want to be a child prostitute!

Among them, several rich and wealthy businessmen who dabbled in male sex could not help but look at Li Changqing a few more times before suppressing the restlessness in their hearts.

Luckily, Li Changqing didn't know what was going on in the hearts of everyone present, otherwise no one in this big mansion could get out alive today!
