The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 417
Luo Hongfan said: "The common people only want to have a meal to eat, and it is enough to survive, but now that the food is robbed by us, and those landlords and squires don't care about their lives, if this continues, I am afraid they will die." There are many hungry people."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I have an idea on this issue. I will ask Guo Yi to go to the coastal area and help me get some seeds. Now sweet potatoes, that is, potatoes, should have appeared. By then, we will plant them here. If sweet potatoes are used, it is estimated that the food problem can be solved.”

Huang Zixuan asked, "What is a sweet potato?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's something to eat. Anyway, have you ever eaten sweet potatoes? It's almost that kind of thing, but the yield is very high when planted, and it should basically solve the food problem. I will let Panlong County The surrounding area grows that stuff heavily and is responsible for protecting them."

Luo Hongfan said happily: "If there is such a thing, it can solve a big problem, at least the common people don't have to worry about food."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Actually, I called you here this time, and I have other orders. I have to solve not only their food problem, but also more problems. I have to solve the four problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation. "

Huang Zixuan asked: "I don't know what the chairman's opinion is?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I plan to spend a lot of money to hire some workers with special skills, and then set up a dyeing workshop, a cloth factory, a textile factory, and even a firearms manufacturing factory in Panlong County. In short, I need to turn Panlong County into a handicraft and light industry. center, even heavy industry can be considered.”

Luo Hongfan asked: "Opening a factory requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for the small Panlong County?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Actually, it's not too difficult. As long as we want to do it, we can definitely do it. If there is no one, we can spend a lot of money to poach people, or even if it doesn't work, I can take people to rob people. If there is no money, that is easier. From tomorrow At the beginning, all the rich and gentry around Panlong County need to provide material assistance, otherwise we will not protect them."

Luo Hongfan said: "Are you planning to rob their gold, silver, jewelry and family property? Chairman, if you do this, I am afraid that many people will oppose it, and if they collude with the imperial court at that time, it will definitely bring trouble to Panlong County. come to trouble."

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Can't they just follow our instructions without forcing them to hand over their assets? County Magistrate Luo, don't worry, I do these things with plans and arrangements, not just talking about it, do you understand?"

Luo Hongfan said: "Since the chairman has already made a detailed plan, let's do it according to the chairman's wishes. What cooperation do I need to do?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "You and Brother Zixuan are responsible for helping me draft a contract, the content is that if the rich and gentry are willing to offer assistance, they will be allowed to stay within the scope of Panlong County, and we will also guarantee their safety , but if they don’t want to, then we can only search the house.”

Huang Zixuan said: "If you inform them, won't you be afraid that they will run away with the money?"

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as they dare to run away, then we can confidently arrest people and grab things, and even their lives will not be spared."

Luo Hongfan said: "Do these need to be written into the contract?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's fine to write it in, just warn them, and the assistance they are asked to provide is [-]% of the family property, understand? If you can't find out that they dare to hide the family property, they will all be executed!"

Huang Zixuan said: "Is it really going to be so strict this time? What about Huilong Village?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It doesn't matter if it's not strict, we are a small Panlong County, there are many problems, and if we don't grow and develop, we will be wiped out by the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty sooner or later, and I think the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is probably also against us. They are eyeing tigers, so we can only deal with it in this way for the time being. As for Huilong Village, it is protected as before, and no harassment is allowed."

Huang Zixuan said: "Is it right that Huilong Village is exempted? That would be great. The influence of the chairman in Huilong Village is already very important. If Huilong Village can be exempted again this time, it is estimated that the villagers of Huilong Village will I will be completely heartfelt to the chairman."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I am from Huilong Village, so I also have the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of Huilong Village. Not only will I not mess with Huilong Village, but I also plan to build a secret heavy industry base there. , As for what to do specifically, I will inform you when the time is right."

Luo Hongfan said: "Besides drafting the contract, do we need to do other things?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Calculate the existing roster of special-skilled workers, and then find craftsmen to come over to discuss the construction of new factories and production bases, check for gaps and fill in vacancies, and what type of skilled workers are lacking. Where can I find these people, I will take people there to snatch them."

Luo Hongfan said: "Okay, Mr. President, I will focus on supervising this matter from tomorrow."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I will arrange for Huang Zixuan to cooperate with you. County Magistrate Luo, if you have any difficulties, you can directly discuss it with brother Zixuan to solve it. If you really can't solve it, you can directly ask me to deal with it. The focus now is these, and then I will arrange for Guo Yi to go out to buy seeds of sweet potatoes and other crops, and also go to find out the news by the way."

Luo Hongfan said: "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter well."

After discussing with Luo Hongfan and Huang Zixuan, Huang Xiaohu went to find Guo Yi and explained the situation. Guo Yi seriously asked about the crop seeds that needed to be purchased, and also followed Huang Xiaohu's request to check the situation outside.

Huang Xiaohu asked Guo Yi how many people he needed, and how much silver he needed.

Guo Yi said: "Now is a troubled time. If you carry a lot of gold, silver and jewelry with you, it may not be safe along the way. But in the past, it was not realistic to buy things without silver taels. It is better to pretend to be a refugee and then carry only precious gold ornaments instead of silver taels." , and it will be easy to carry when the time comes, and it will also be able to conceal people’s eyes and ears.”

Huang Xiaohu said: "This can be done, but how many people do you plan to bring?"

Guo Yi said: "At least 50 people are needed. If the scale is too small, I may not be able to bring back a large number of seeds. If there are too many, it will be too ostentatious."

Huang Xiaohu asked, "Is it safe along the way?"

Guo Yi said: "This is a troubled time, so it will definitely not be particularly safe, but if more than 50 of us travel together, as long as we don't cause trouble along the way, we should be able to protect ourselves."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Since this is the case, I will entrust you with this important task. Once you can complete this important task, I will promote you as hall master when you come back."

Guo Yi said happily: "Thank you for the promotion, Mr. President, I will definitely do my best to complete this important task."

Huang Xiaohu said: "You can choose the person yourself. As for the gold jewelry, I will let Magistrate Luo prepare it for you. Do you have any other requirements?"

Guo Yi said: "This time when going out, you must bring some firearms. If you encounter a small group of thieves and robbers, you can also deal with it. Please approve it."

Huang Xiaohu said: "You can get firearms and other weapons from General Chen. In fact, you are in charge of logistics support. Don't you manage these things?"

Guo Yi said: "General Chen said that weapons are important military materials, so they control and manage them alone, and don't let me interfere."

Huang Xiaohu said: "That's fine, I'll tell General Chen that you can go to him to get what you need when the time comes. It's the same when picking someone. I'll say hello to him in advance."

Guo Yi said happily: "This is the best, please arrange it with the president."

After Huang Xiaohu separated from Guo Yi, he went directly to Chen Huanzhi's mansion. Although it hadn't been built yet, it was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman, so Chen Huanzhi had brought his cronies to live in.

Huang Xiaohu found Chen Huanzhi, and then told him about going to the coastal area to buy seeds, and asked him to cooperate with Guo Yi's work, Chen Huanzhi readily agreed.

After finishing this matter, Huang Xiaohu returned to his mansion.

Now the new mansion has not been built yet, but the original rooms are enough, so Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan lived in a very comfortable place, and Ji Wu's fifty female imperial guards also guarded the mansion, except for Huang Xiaohu Except for their relatives and construction craftsmen, the rest will not be released.

Back at the residence, Huang Xiaohu called Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan together to discuss the next thing with them.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Now that Panlong County is under our control, I need you to do something so that you won't be bored."

Zhao Yali said with a smile: "Now we take the little Yellow Emperor to play every day, and we also have to supervise those craftsmen, how can it be boring?"

Zhang Yalan said: "Huzi, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a God Worship Society, and they also have a series of religious ceremonies. I think we should do something, otherwise, many people don't know what the Shenlong Society does. If others misunderstand that we are also the Taiping Army, then it will be troublesome.”

Zhao Yali said: "Then what should we do?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I've thought about this as well. We need to get some guidelines for the Shenlong Society, similar to the policies of the Red Army before. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yalan said: "Why don't we just use the principles and policies of the Red Army?"

Huang Xiaohu asked: "Xiao Lan, do you remember the Red Army set?"
