late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou watched the villagers work for a while, and he was no longer interested in blowing the cold wind. He couldn't do the work of sharing joys and sorrows with the people.Since he was a child of a nobleman, he habitually pointed and drank, and was born to be a general.To be able to say a few inspiring words here is already worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.

Li Guolou ran down the earthen wall and said to a supervisor, "Xiao Wu, I will leave this to you. I will give you three days to repair the earthen wall. The labor cost is calculated as 30 cents a day, and 50 people are counted for a day. One or two hundred cash, and another three hundred cash for rations, 55 taels for materials, a total of [-] taels of silver. As for the wood for the gate, I will see it delivered in three days, and I will reward you with another five taels of silver. I will also let you do the job of covering the earth wall with bricks. If you can’t do it in three days, don’t let me see you in the future, go back to Dongchang Hutong as soon as possible to stand guard.”

"Captain Li, I'm not bragging. I've repaired the city walls of the capital, and I've seen thousands of troops. I can't do this small job well. I might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. This rammed earth is so interesting. Pay attention to;;;;;;" Although the Wugongtun people are young, their mouths are open and they chatter endlessly, regardless of Li Guolou's willingness to listen, they just say so, getting too close, Spit was also sprayed on Li Guolou's face.

Li Guolou spoke concisely, patted his ass and left, and walked away at a relaxed pace, not listening to Xiao Wu's swearing.Work is easy and you can do things well, let your subordinates do the hard work, with money in hand, and direct others like your arms.

Ai Hai and Gao Yao Wu Yun followed behind Li Guolou. Ai Hai couldn't bear it any longer, and leaned closer and said, "Captain Li, it looks straightforward to do things like you, but you are actually a bitch. How can there be such a trickster? If the village asks you to be the head of the village, it will be a financial shortfall. You bought a good reputation and rewarded the world, what will happen to the people who take over later. If Zhou Papi spends money like you, there will be thousands of acres of fertile land."

Li Guolou spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Deputy Ai, I only know how to do things like this. I can't do it with careful calculations and calculations. This is called the style of the ancients."

"Which ancient man?" Ai Hai shook his head. Li Guolou, who came from a rich family, did things beautifully, but in fact, they were superficial things bought with money.

"Heshen, I think that when Lord Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he looked at the Broken Bridge in Hangzhou, pointed to the other side of the West Lake and said, 'The flower is beautiful and the moon is full, but one tower is missing.' Lord Qianlong was also a joke. , A towering wooden pagoda was built in three days. Lord Qianlong was very happy to see this pagoda, a minister with a shoulder can be of great use, and Lord Qianlong even climbed the wooden pagoda to play and write a poem as a souvenir. What do you think He Shen relies on?" Who is the capable person in Li Guolou's mind?it goes without saying.

"Head, is that tower still there?" Gao Yao Wuyun asked.

Li Guolou turned his head to look at the people behind him, and said angrily, "You are a fast arrester, but you can tell me how long a wooden pagoda built in three days can last."

"Hey hey hey!" Gao Yao Wuyun's thought was confirmed, speed and quality are inversely proportional, and he has never seen a wooden tower without a foundation. "Head, what shall we do next? Mobilization of ideas is too easy for you. With so many people left behind, do you want us to farm the land?"

Li Guolou said: "Why not? We stay to do a good job in the production of Balizhuang, and now we have a meeting in the Zhou Family Courtyard;;;;;;; in the future, don't call it this name, it will be called Yunmeng Diaolou. Give me the staff Let’s talk about what to do next? This village must use our own people, not the people from Balizhuang. We must first select a village to come out. I’m nonsense about farming, but the mobilization work is still possible, you go Bring a few old farmers in the village together for a meeting, I want to know the priorities, and confirm the direction of the next main attack."

"Captain Li, I think, we have done so many things here, the village is supposed to choose people who are fast-born, with a strict mouth and can be trusted, and people from the militia can't be considerate;;;;;;"

Before Ai Hai could finish his sentence, Gao Yao Wuyun rushed to the other side of Li Guolou, and interjected: "Head, let my father come here, he is in good health, and there is no problem in working for more than ten years. Although my father doesn't know much about farming, But he understands animals, and when this strength is used to the extreme, great things can be accomplished."

Li Guolou remained silent, everyone has selfishness, Gao Yao Wuyun also has a lot of selfishness, tried every means to take advantage, but it was still a way.To the north of Balizhuang is Yunmeng Mountain, which is suitable for grazing. Gao Yao Wuyun's father, Qing Geertai, knows the habits of livestock very well, and one person can change the living environment if he uses it properly.

Li Guolou thought for a moment, and said: "Captain Gao Yao, go and invite your father, I will talk to him first, as for whether to let him be the village official? Put it aside for now, it is just a candidate, do you understand? ?”

"Zha! Head, I'm going to pack my bags and set off at noon, and I'll let you use your horse, let me have two horses. Hehehehe!" Gao Yao Wuyun is impatient, if he gets the title of village official , That would be great news, the "head" is the best to speak, and the veteran will come out, and I am afraid that the "tender head" will turn against him.

"Don't borrow it! Don't hurry, I won't leave without a week." Li Guolou was reluctant to lend the bay red horse to Gao Yao Wuyun. He had already been tricked once last time, and this time the old fox would not make a move.

"Stingy!" Gao Yao Wuyun was annoyed, and turned to get close to Ai Hai. Which horses here are not bad, it depends on the official position. After a while, Ai Hai agreed to lend the horse to Gao Yao Wuyun.

Before leaving, Ai Hai let out a long sigh and said, "Gao Yao caught the head and brought a few pigs back. I still like to eat pork. The mutton is too smelly, and there is no place to vent my anger after eating it." Treat her as a woman, and even talk about endocrine matters in front of Gao Yao Wuyun.

"Understand Deputy Ai, I will buy pork, chicken and duck from Jishikou." Gao Yao Wuyun promised, patted his chest.

Li Guolou's heart trembled, and he said anxiously: "Gao Yao catches the head and walks slowly. The livestock and poultry in Balizhuang are almost eaten by the rebels. You should take a few people to Jishikou to get the livestock and poultry needed in the village." Buy it back. I’ll give you the money now, go!” While talking, the three of them headed towards the Yunmeng Diaolou together, walking in a hurry, things were chaotic and innumerable, and they did whatever came to mind?It is not the material of local officials.

"Head, that bay red horse;;;;;;" Gao Yao and Wu Yun are relentless, and must get back the face they lost.

"I will lend it to you, but Gao Yao catches the head, don't ride the horse and whip, compete with horse thieves, there is no hope of winning." Li Guolou warned Gao Yao Wuyun, he is not around, those horse thieves who rob passers-by , don't necessarily buy Gao Yao Wuyun's face, show his identity, and everyone won't have to fight each other.

"A revolver." Gao Yao and Wu Yun spread out his palms, making an inch of it.

"Gao Yao catches the head. The ricochet is very good. If you can't train a sharpshooter, don't compete with the spearman. Don't blame me if you die." Li Guolou took off the belt around his waist, took off a holster, and took his revolver. Pass it to Gao Yao Wuyun.

Gao Yao Wuyun's small eyes narrowed into slits, he touched the silver revolver, as if he was stroking his beloved child, and muttered to himself: "Head, next time I block bullets for you, I will give this gun to me. "

Ai Hai curled his lips and said, "Captain Gao Yao, as long as you don't throw grenades on Captain Li's head, Captain Li will live a few more years."

"Hey Captain, don't mention this matter again. Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. I also have an idea, and I will throw it on your head in the future. Hehehehe!" People at the rank of eldest sister hang around the chief all day long.

Li Guolou shook his head and said nothing, the officer was full of style, the two-story Yunmeng watchtower stood like a monster in the middle of Balizhuang, Li Guolou remembered something, and said: "Deputy Ai, after the meeting, I will hand over to you." You have a mission to find the furniture, farm tools, and antiques that Zhou peeled off. Forget about the clothes, and save those muddy legs."

"Oh!" Ai Hai glanced at Li Guolou who was walking in front of him, he was so flattering that he took pictures of this, how could Bao Tong not promote and reuse Li Guolou, don't worry about it, Li Guolou is already chasing the stolen goods for Bao Tong.Involuntarily asked: "Captain Li, just now the villagers said that they want to build a shrine, where is it built?"

Li Guolou said solemnly: "Well, this matter is the most important thing. It should be given the same attention as farming. We will discuss it at the meeting later. After the Shengci Temple is built, it will be the best tourist attraction in Balizhuang in the future. Would you like to put it next to the earth temple?"

"Put it outside the village?" Ai Hai hesitated, feeling not very good.

Li Guolou nodded and said, "That's right there, together with the land fairy old man, the land area is at least three times larger than the land temple, at least!"

"Money!" Ai Hai couldn't help but worry for Li Guolou. He knew best how much money was left on the books. The pots and bowls were full, and it was less than 2000 taels of silver. To build an earth temple, it would cost at least five or six hundred taels of silver, like Li Guolou. Guolou said that the Shengci Temple should cover an area of ​​five or six acres, with a beautiful facade. If people stop and play, it will cost at least two or three thousand taels of silver.

"I know that money is not a problem. I have a solution. Many people will come to build houses and work. To make the economy of Balizhuang take off, construction must be carried out. I have made up my mind that all migrant households who want to settle here must contribute money and effort. Build a joint-stock farm in Balizhuang, and let everyone work together." Li Guolou has so many tricks, and he even got the idea of ​​meritorious ministers to let them spit out the benefits they got.

Ai Hai was completely speechless, Gao Yao Wuyun asked: "Boss, you mean to ask us to take out the bounty again?"

Li Guolou bowed his head and walked in front, his mind was spinning quickly, and he said solemnly: "Yes, Gao Yao is arresting the head, and asked your father to invest your dowry money in the construction of Balizhuang. The more you invest, the more you will earn." Many, in the future your father can also build a watchtower here."

Gao Yao Wuyun thought of the three tile-roofed houses of her Jishikou home, how could they compare with the watchtowers of the landlord Lao Cai, the blood was flowing in her body, and she was obliged to say: "Boss, I believe in you, and I will move the house here when I get home. "

Ai Hai sighed: "What's good here, I can't buy anything, and I can't eat well. After staying for a day, I get tired of it, and I want to go back to the city to hug my wife."

Li Guolou said in a soft voice: "Baldy Ai, I don't want the child to be tied to the wolf. How much money do you have to give? Let me think about it again. Do you want to give you a house and a few acres of land?"

Now Li Guolou holds the ownerless house and land in Balizhuang, and he can give it to whoever he wants, and the emperor's face is completely exposed in front of his two confidants.

Ai Hai walked behind Li Guolou hesitantly, calculating in his mind, he followed Li Guolou to make a fortune, and he earned a lot of money. He already bought a courtyard house in the capital, and he wanted to go further and live in a mansion. Not so fast anymore.Stepping into the courtyard of the Yunmeng Watchtower, I looked at the old locust tree in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, and crows circling on the old nest, the scenery here is beautiful.

"Third brother, hand over all my family assets." Ai Hai finally figured it out and supported Li Guolou unconditionally, so that he can get a ride in the future.

"I don't force it, everyone has a choice." Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied with Ai Hai's taking so long to make a decision, his tone was full of recklessness, how many rich and powerful women were behind him to support him ?The road to Qingyun's ascension is close at hand, and it is unknown to the world.

"Hey hey!" Ai Hai heard the dissatisfaction in Li Guolou's words, and said with a sinister smile: "Third brother, I'm thinking about how to tell the guy at home that I don't force it and never force it. I will set an example now. Add 200 taels of silver."

"Huh!" Li Guolou was furious, turned to look at Ai Hai, and shouted: "Ai Bald, you dare to hide the spoils, what should you do?"

"Hey!" Ai Hai's face was extremely ugly, he lowered his head regretfully, turning joy into sorrow, the greatest sorrow in life is nothing like this.I was so excited that I fell into a big somersault, forgetting that Li Guolou is a good catcher who can pinch and count.If you don't ask yourself, and you reveal the income from cleaning the battlefield, it is inevitable to confiscate 100 taels of silver.

Watching this scene, Gao Yao Wuyun felt so regretful that he beat his chest and almost cried.Secretly swear: In the future, she will be the first to clean up the battlefield, and she will not make a fortune. I am sorry for the Mongolian ancestors.
