This incident really gave Guo Zhiyuan a headache, but fortunately, there was good news, Chen Jinglun came back, bringing back the corn and potato seeds that Guo Zhiyuan dreamed of! It is also good luck, Chen Jinglun was going to go to sea to help Guo Zhiyuan find corn and potato seeds, but he met a sailor he knew before, and he heard that he had seen these two things on a group of Spanish ships, and the merchant ships of the Spaniards were currently docked in the port of Guangzhou, Chen Jinglun was overjoyed, and immediately asked the sailor to take him to the port of Guangzhou to find the Spaniards, and spent a lot of money to buy corn and potato seeds from the Spanish sailors!

Guo Zhiyuan was even more overjoyed, with corn and potatoes, plus the previous sweet potatoes, Gutian's food structure is rich enough, even in the event of a catastrophe and famine, it can be coped with, and Xu Guangqi will soon start trial planting and then promote large-scale planting in Gutian. He planned to let Chen Jinglun be stationed in Guangzhou, and at the same time let Zhang Cheng's intelligence system establish an intelligence station in Guangzhou, and Chen Jinglun was the person in charge, and his main responsibility was to establish good relations with those Spanish and Francophone sailors in Guangzhou, collect seeds, intelligence, and recruit talents. Chen Jinglun was very excited to be reused by Guo Zhiyuan, and said that he would definitely live up to Guo Zhiyuan's trust.

This is not the biggest good news, another good news makes Guo Zhiyuan ecstatic, and even the troubles of the turmoil in Gutian caused by tearing his face with the landlord and squire have been left behind by him! The good news is that Zhao Shizhen has finally developed a flintlock pistol! No one knows better than Guo Zhiyuan what the appearance of the flintlock pistol means, which means that the era of *** is coming! So he immediately put down all the official business at hand and ran to see Zhao Shizhen, the flintlock pistol made by Zhao Shizhen naturally can't be compared with the pistol that Guo Zhiyuan has seen in later generations, not to mention the rough appearance, and it can't be fired continuously, but Guo Zhiyuan still can't put it down and snatched the gun from Zhao Shizhen's hand, put a few POSS in a row, and then unceremoniously inserted the gun into his waist and said: "This gun belongs to me!" This is the first flintlock pistol of this era! Guo Zhiyuan said that he wanted to snatch the glory of the owner of the first flintlock pistol!

Zhao Shizhen twitched his cheeks a little painfully, and said with a dry smile: "If there is no Gongzi to mention it, the old man will never be able to develop the flintlock pistol so quickly, this first flintlock pistol should be given to the child, but can the son allocate some more silver taels to the old man, the old man is ready to continue the research, and strive to develop the magazine that the son said before, so that the flintlock pistol can fire continuously, and the old man who said that the old man who can carry people also wants to test it......"

The five thousand taels of silver that Guo Zhiyuan allocated to Zhao Shizhen for the first time had already been spent by him, but he had not been able to make a decent invention before, and he was ashamed and embarrassed to ask Guo Zhiyuan again.

In fact, Zhao Shizhen didn't say it, Guo Zhiyuan is also ready to increase investment in the workshop, if you don't make good use of the big killing weapon of the flintlock pistol, isn't it a head show? He now has two "cash cows" in the cigarette factory and the garment factory, as well as a steady stream of "tolls" to collect every day, so he is naturally very arrogant, and waved his big hand and said: "I will allocate another 10,000 taels of silver to Mr. Zhao, not enough for Mr. to ask me again, although the flintlock pistol cannot be mass-produced, but it is still necessary to pay close attention to production, and strive to make the regimental training army and the officers of the new army match each other, and we must do a good job of secrecy, I will transfer two more teams from the new army, the production of the flintlock pistol must be kept strictly secret, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked!" ……”

However, Guo Zhiyuan's good mood did not last long, because suddenly something happened that made him very angry and very tricky, a common man's daughter was forced. Rape and strong. It was Chen Huaili's son Chen Renyi who raped this folk girl! This Chen Renyi is a famous playboy in Gutian County, bullying men and women is all evil, and the common people all grit their teeth when they mention him, but the Chen family is powerful, and this Chen Renyi will bring a large number of family members every time he goes out, where can ordinary people afford to provoke him.

This was forced by Chen Renyi. The adulterous girl is not yet sixteen years old, because the family is poor, so she does some manual work and picks it up on the street to sell, but unfortunately she happened to be bumped into by Chen Renyi, Chen Renyi saw that this girl was very pretty, so he had a bad heart, and stepped forward to tease, the folk woman was very chaste, and naturally resisted vigorously, and scratched Chen Renyi's face, but he didn't expect it to completely inspire Chen Renyi's beast. wanted, he actually directly ordered his subordinates to take the girl to his house in public, and the onlookers did not dare to stop it, and those who knew the woman had to hurry up to inform his family.

The family of the woman hurriedly went to Chen's house to ask for their daughter, but they were beaten out by Chen's family, the family was also honest and home, but they didn't dare to make a noise, only waited hard outside the door of Chen's house, and in the middle of the night, they saw Chen's family carrying their daughter who had been tossed and thrown out, and the family still dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and silently carried their daughter home to the hospital for treatment, the family had no money, so the hospital sent to Shen Lingyu happened to be opened, because Shen Lingyu only charged the cost of herbal medicine for medical treatment, Ordinary people would send him when they were sick.

Shen Lingyu saw the situation of this folk girl and knew that she was being forced. raped, asked her family about the experience, her family was afraid of things at first and refused to say, and then Shen Lingyu repeatedly asked before he said, Shen Lingyu was immediately angry, which alarmed Guo Zhiyuan!

Guo Zhiyuan was naturally very angry when he heard such a thing, and immediately issued a card ticket to let the county government go to Chen's Mansion to get people, but he didn't expect the catcher he sent to come back to report, saying that the gate of Chen's Mansion was closed, and the Chen's family was standing on the wall with a bow and arrow and didn't let them get close at all, Guo Zhiyuan also knew that these catchers were actually timid and didn't dare to go to Chen's Mansion to get people, but he didn't blame these catchers too much, these catchers were locals, and naturally they didn't want to offend the wealthy and powerful Chen family, and with the Chen family's consistent arrogant style, it was not necessary to really be able to release arrows.

But in this way, Guo Zhiyuan feels tricky, Chen Mansion he has been to, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, and many defense facilities have been built in order to defend against bandits, and there are many families in Chen Mansion, unless Guo Zhiyuan sends all the regimental training army and the new army to attack strongly, it is possible to take it down, but in this way, the nature of the matter has changed, although Guo Zhiyuan has torn his face with the landlord and squire forces, but it is still in a delicate state of balance, although the landlord and squire forces hate Guo Zhiyuan to the core, But because he has a strong army, he doesn't dare to go too far, and Guo Zhiyuan can't blindly use force to force these landlords and squires, after all, he can't really kill these landlords and squires, and in the end, these landlords and squires are still needed to govern Gutian with him.
