Chapter 61: The Difficulty of Scale (18)
Yin Xiaofeng finished watching the play, and he was a little unsatisfied. In the new drama about the land granting order, the government has stepped forward to take on a large number of social obligations, including hospitals, police, postal services, and schools. These things, which were originally the responsibility of local families, are now being done by the government itself. When he was in Luzon, Yin Xiaofeng had seen the Spaniards have such systems, and those systems were of course the highest priority for the Spaniards, and the non-Spaniards had to pay a lot of money to enjoy these services.
The Governor's Office began to establish the rudiments of these social services in major cities in the district, including Jiangmen, and now the Governor's Office is preparing to start building such a service system in rural Guangdong. Even if it was just such publicity in the play, Yin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel excited.
If this is true, there will be real results with such a government. Yin Xiaofeng couldn't help but have such a thought. With the excitement peculiar to young people about grand affairs, Yin Xiaofeng returned to his Yue's house. As a person who has experienced a lot of hardships, Yin Xiaofeng is certainly not stupid enough to think that Yue Shoushan is really insisting on his promise, so he urged this marriage. The Governor's drastic measures against the big tobacco dealers were not pretentious, and of course Yin Xiaofeng knew that the Yue family wanted to win over the heroes from all over the country.
After thinking about it, Yin Xiaofeng felt a little dilemma. He even felt that he had simply made a mistake this time, the girl ten years ago did haunt Yin Xiaofeng's dreams, but if he finally became himself to accompany the Yue family to the funeral, it would not be worth it at all.
Although the Yue family is a powerful person in Foshan, it is not yet the power of the Thirteen Elements. Just three months ago, the Governor's Mansion suddenly attacked the Thirteen Elements without warning, and uprooted the Thirteen Elements in one fell swoop. This operation was completed in a month, and the process was naturally bloody and brutal. The family of the Thirteen Elements resisted desperately, and under the attack of thousands of troops, these resistances seemed to be just a small splash. The Thirteen Lines family was gone, and the merchants directly under the Thirteen Lines were all taken over by the Guangfu Army.
The reason given by the Governor's Office is very simple, the thirteen lines colluded with the British, opened tobacco houses, sold large cigarettes, and poisoned the physical and mental health of the Chinese. This kind of black sheep can only be eradicated by violence, and if they are not eradicated, there will be no prosperous situation in Guangdong.
If the Governor's Mansion wants to turn a big thing into a small thing, it will naturally kill chickens and monkeys in common sense. Arrest and kill a group of small big tobacco merchants. Organizations like the Thirteen Lines obediently paid tribute to a dollar, and symbolically shut down the big cigarette trade for a period of time. When this gust of wind passed, they negotiated with the Governor's Mansion to divide it, and then continued to do their own big cigarette business.
This time, the thirteen lines of the big monkeys were eradicated, and although the Governor's Office did not immediately crack down on the "pheasant" tobacco dealers, it seems that the determination they said to completely eradicate the big tobacco was not a joke.
Yin Xiaofeng didn't see any signs of the Yue family obediently obeying the Governor's Mansion, if he got too close to the Yue family, it would not be a good thing for Yin Xiaofeng......
This night, Yin Xiaofeng leaned on the bed, all kinds of thoughts churned in his mind, and he fell asleep exhausted until the second half of the night.
The next day, Yue Shoushan went to Yin Xiaofeng to discuss the marriage. This kind of marriage has long had a marriage contract, and the elders on both sides have basically set up such things as the bride price, as long as there is no intention of regretting the marriage, it will be implemented very quickly. Yue Shoushan said that it would be carried out according to the agreement, and Yin Xiaofeng agreed. When he came this time, Yin Xiaofeng had already brought a lot of gifts, and Yue Shoushan's family didn't care, and the gifts were more or less accepted as a bride price. After a three-day banquet, while the uncle fainted, the Yue family, as a large local family, also told the local people that the Yue family was going to officially marry their daughter. Then Yin Xiaofeng hurried back to Jiangmen and waited for the Yue family to send his daughter to Jiangmen.
As soon as he returned to Jiangmen, Yin Xiaofeng immediately went to the local government department of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion in Jiangmen and asked to defect to the Guangfu Governor's Mansion. The person in charge of receiving Yin Xiaofeng was called Lin Mengchu, and he asked Yin Xiaofeng in a difficult tone unique to official personnel, "May I ask Mr. Yin, why did you think of joining the Governor's Mansion of the Restoration of the Metropolitan Government?" ”
"I've been overseas, and I know how angry Chinese are with foreigners. We are all members of the Chinese nation, if I don't defect to the Governor's Mansion of the Restoration of the Empire, who else can I go to? Yin Xiaofeng summed up the propaganda vocabulary he had collected for the Restoration of the Governor's Mansion as a very good reason.
Lin Mengchu was stunned for a moment after hearing such high-sounding words, no one in Jiangmen has ever defected to the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, and now there is such a well-known regimental training leader in Jiangmen, if it is said that it is not accepted, it is indeed a bit unreasonable, but if it is said that ......it is accepted, Lin Mengchu thought in his heart that the order he received from his superiors at the meeting a few days ago that local governments and troops have begun to draw up lists of dangerous elements, and once the war starts, the troops must first preemptively eradicate the local "dangerous elements". Yin Xiaofeng is already in the ranks of dangerous elements, and only the final steps are needed.
"Mr. Yin, we once said that we want the group trainers to come and report. You've never been here! Lin Mengchu was ready to delay it first.
"I can report it now!" Yin Xiaofeng replied immediately.
Hearing this, Lin Mengchu's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble. He never expected that Yin Xiaofeng seemed to be playing for real. Lin Mengchu was a little surprised at this time. In addition to being surprised, Lin Mengchu wanted to drive Yin Xiaofeng away.
As the saying goes, more things are better than less, Lin Mengchu himself was the head of the small group training in Foshan, and he was attached to the banner of Yue Shoushan, a big household in Foshan. He was lucky at that time, he had just arrived in Guangdong after the restoration of the Governor's Mansion, and captured Lin Mengchu and others when he attacked the city of Guangzhou. The Guangfu Army recruited Lin Mengchu, and Lin Mengchu immediately defected to the Guangfu Army. He himself was born as a local "head snake", which just met the manpower standards required by the Liberation Army, so the troops also tried their best to use Lin Mengchu within a safe range. After Lin Mengchu followed the Guangfu Army, he worked hard, gradually mixed up, and went to work in the Jiangmen government.
In the recent land grant order, Lin Mengchu made up his mind, and spent great effort to persuade more than 20 people in his family to hand over his family's 20 acres of land, and then allocated nearly 50 acres of dike-pond land according to the field grant order. encountered this good thing of pie falling from the sky, Lin Mengchu didn't want to lose his errand because of any of his mistakes, so he acted extremely cautiously.
Yin Xiaofeng originally belonged to half of the people on the blacklist, if it was because Lin Mengchu was negligent for a while and let him go, Lin Mengchu would not be able to eat and walk around in the future. So Lin Mengchu said: "Why don't you come back in a few days, we will be busy these days." ”
Yin Xiaofeng is certainly not a fool, and he doesn't admit this obvious shirk at all. Raising his voice, Yin Xiaofeng shouted: "Since you stipulate that this regimental exercise must be reported, and your announcement also says that it is efficient, and it is performed in the play, you say that we Chinese should be united." Why do you want to leave me now? ”
The voice was loud enough, and everyone else in Lin Mengchu's office raised their heads, and everyone looked at Yin Xiaofeng, who was excited, with surprised eyes.
Yin Xiaofeng said loudly: "I don't know what other people think of the Governor's Mansion. But those of us who have worked overseas know that foreign devils bully Chinese a lot, and my family has had a holiday with the British, and as a result, the British have lost a lot of money. I really think I want to follow the Governor's Mansion to the Restoration of the Governor's Mansion, since you said that you want to build a Langlang Qiankun of Liangguang, you can't help but bring me, a person who is willing to follow you! ”
Hearing this, Lin Mengchu became even more alert to Yin Xiaofeng. This was the first time he had encountered people outside the Restoration Society expressing their attitudes with such a highly political attitude, and the attitude of others towards the Restoration Governor's Mansion was undoubtedly that the Restoration Governor's Mansion was a very simple military organization, very capable of fighting, and the army looked quite scary. This is the first time that someone has regarded the Guangfu Governor's Office as a political organization with the concept of government. Treating such people, Lin Mengchu's first thought was to stay away.
Lin Mengchu was thinking about how to fool Yin Xiaofeng away, and as soon as the curtain leading to the inner room was lifted, Wu Qilu, secretary of the Jiangmen Prefectural Party Committee, walked out. He said to Yin Xiaofeng, "What's your name?" ”
Yin Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, looking at the office where this person was, he could probably guess that this person was undoubtedly a higher-ranking official. But in the blink of an eye, Yin Xiaofeng couldn't help but be a little happy, the officials were more in charge and better able to make decisions. He figured out one thing in Foshan this time, marrying a wife is marrying a wife, and defecting to the Guangfu Governor's Mansion is to defecting to the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, which are two different things. There is no reason for him to hang himself from a tree in the Yue family because he married the daughter of the Yue family.
Standing up straight, Yin Xiaofeng made a gesture, "My name is Yin Xiaofeng, I have done business overseas, and now I am the president of a small group in Jiangmen." After reading the notice of the Restoration Governor's Mansion, and those scenes, I really want to go to the Governor's Mansion. I hope this adult will show you the way. ”
Wu Qilu saw that Yin Xiaofeng's attitude was quite serious, and he smiled: "Then you come in with me." After finishing speaking, he beckoned to Lin Mengchu again, "You come too!" ”
After the three of them sat down, Yin Xiaofeng looked at Wu Qilu's office, the room was not big, and the furniture inside was also tattered. This kind of style makes Yin Xiaofeng feel a lot more at ease, if the other party uses very luxurious furniture, it means that there is no need to restore the Governor's Mansion at all, and it will be difficult to defect.
"Mr. Lin, can you tell me what is going on with these overseas Chinese who are doing business or working overseas?" Wu Qi did not talk about the filing of group training or the land issue, he went straight to the issue of overseas Chinese.
Yin Xiaofeng didn't expect Wu Qilu to care about such a problem, although he was puzzled, he had been overseas for ten years and was very familiar with it. Fixed, he pondered what the other party wanted to hear.
"Mr. Lin, you don't have to think about how to say something I like to say to me. Just tell me about your experience, how you make money overseas, what kind of bullying you have, how you cooperate with foreigners, and what you want. That's what I want to hear. Wu Qilu said frankly.
