The Republic of Heroes

When Wu Xiaoliang returned to the provincial government compound, he saw Li Zejun sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, panting heavily.

"Why is Qianting like this?"

Wu Xiaoliang asked the question knowingly, and seeing his appearance, he must have been beaten in front of the local snakes in Linzi County, so he didn't say anything.

"Brigade Commander, I definitely can't do this job anymore. I can't fight or scold. It's really uncomfortable. Please see if there is any mission to suppress the bandits. Let me take people to have a good fight."

"Confused! Fighting! Fighting! Fighting! What else do you know besides fighting? Doesn't it cost money to fight? You don't need the support of the local people to fight? What are you fighting for?"

Li Zejun was dumbfounded. He had never seen Wu Xiaoliang react so strongly. Even if his subordinates joked with him, he was never annoyed. Now he just complained, how could he get angry?

He didn't know that the real reason for Wu Xiaoliang's anger had nothing to do with these complaints.Li Zejun's attitude towards the war and the people finally made him realize that ten years ago, he had just established an army that was only loyal to himself and maintained by feudal relations.

Suddenly talking a little far, Wu Xiaoliang also realized his gaffe, and quickly changed the subject.

"The county magistrate Zhu has a list of brothels. After all the brothels are blocked, these women who have lost their way must gather together to learn and make them have a skill. They can even set up a dyeing factory in the name of the provincial government to resettle these good women. As for the location, I think an abandoned Taoist temple in the south of the city can be used, and it can be put into use after some repairs."

Li Zejun nodded frequently, fearing that he would annoy Wu Xiaoliang, but finally couldn't help asking: "Where did you come from?" He knew that when the group came, they were basically light vehicles and did not bring any money.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled mysteriously: "When Commander Chen left, he secretly left [-] silver dollars behind. You can go to the material supply department and pay as much as you need."

One hundred thousand silver dollars can definitely solve the urgent need, but it is a drop in the bucket for them to open up the situation in Shandong. Li Zejun wanted to argue a few more words, but finally took the order and left.

In the Sun family's mansion, five or six people were sitting around the bedroom of the old man Sun Xiushan, all of them looked sad.

"Mr. Sun, you have to make the decision for us. Chairman Wu is going to cut off our life."

Although Sun Xiushan stayed at home, he had been observing Wu Xiaoliang's every move. He was secretly relieved that these outsiders were not in a hurry to start with the most fundamental military power, but he always felt that there was something wrong in his heart. pimple.

"Chairman Wu set up a new trend in Linzi. Respect for women is also learned from foreigners. We can't oppose it clearly..."

Hearing what Sun Xiushan said in a hurry, he immediately retorted: "Create a new style of a bird, the rules of the ancestors will be changed as soon as he says it will be changed? I think he has forgotten his ancestors..."

Originally, these places didn't take Wu Xiaoliang, the empty provincial chairman seriously, but now this person is the first to touch their interests, how can they not be annoyed!

There was a mature and prudent cough, indicating that there was a mistake in the statement, and then the discussion was slow.

"Why don't we ask Mr. Sun to take us to express our thoughts to Chairman Wu. These gardens of ours were all donated to the government before. Now they are going to be banned all at once, and everyone's way of life will be cut off. I have a way. How about our brothels paying [-]% ​​more tax directly to the provincial government from now on?"

The bosses were also forced to take money out of their own pockets.

Sun Xiushan felt that this proposal should be feasible. Wu Xiaoliang started to rectify prostitutes, nothing more than to build up power for the provincial government. Now the bosses are subdued and willing to pay more. Extra income, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse this condition.

Once this matter is done, the prestige of Lao Sun's family here will rise to a new level. Even the provincial government will sell face. Isn't it just around the corner that Tiedan's militia can be upgraded to a regular army?The old man made a decision immediately and let the people wait to hear the good news.

Unexpectedly, Sun Baiguang left excitedly and returned angrily.

"That bastard doesn't know what's good or what's wrong, you fucking god. Father, tomorrow we'll find a way to cure him. We must make him submissive!"

Sun Xiushan felt that he had miscalculated, secretly thinking about how to step down in front of several bosses, and when his son wanted to punish him, he couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.

"It's time to give him some color. This Chairman Wu is a master who is unwilling to be lonely. He is not Zhu Wusheng. I'm afraid it's not enough to just make threats on the ground. You have to make some serious stories to get the taste."

"Well, I'll make arrangements now! There is one more thing, I wonder if Dad heard about it?"

Sun Xiushan coughed again, spit out thick phlegm into the white porcelain spittoon, sucked a few more puffs from the big pipe, and then asked slowly:

"What is it?"

"The Wu surname, apart from the banning of prostitutes on the surface, he is also playing tricks in the dark."

"Ok?"

Sun Xiushan's heart sank. It seemed that he was soft on him before because he was in love with him, and he didn't smooth his beard at all. In this case, it must be a mule or a horse.Seeing that his father was silent, Sun Baiguang continued:

"The deputy secretary-general of the provincial government is also surnamed Li, and he went to the countryside recently! A provincial general peasant association has been set up, saying that farmers' associations must be established in villages with a family of more than [-]. And most importantly, I heard that He did it for the idea of ​​the land by the railroad!"

"Oh?"

Sun Xiushan was thinking about the purpose of that surname Wu's actions this time, what is he going to use for these abandoned lands?It can't be exchanged for much money, and it can't be exchanged for gun barrels.

Speaking of the abandoned land beside the railway, there is a lot of history. It was originally the property of a rich family in Liuzhuang, but offended by bandits, the whole family was wiped out overnight, so the land was left deserted. There is no one to inherit the family business, and the servants steal it all day by day.As a result, Sun Xiushan also fell in love with the large piece of land left by his family, thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to swallow it up, but he didn't want to be robbed by that surnamed Wu.

"The brothel is a trivial matter, and the land is the foundation of future generations. My father guessed that this matter is strange. His surname Wu sent a secretary-general to the countryside. It should not be just for the land. Tomorrow you send your confidant to Liuzhuang Check it out to see what he is going to do, but remember, don't conflict with the people in the provincial government until you have reliable news!"

Sun Baiguang only nodded in agreement, but he cursed in his heart: Dad is getting old and timid, and he dare not let go of doing anything, so I did it and let him see, don't always treat me as a baby who can't grow up!

At the end of July, Li Zejun refurbished the clubhouse of the Women's Self-improvement Association, and then waited for Wu Xiaoliang to order the courtyard to be closed and arrested, but several days passed, but there was no movement.
