Chapter 11 The county seat

On the day of the erection, early in the morning, Fang Mu sorted out his clothes, took the Fang family's nursing home, and a group of 200 people rushed to the county seat.

Now, the weapons of those family members are really shotguns, and those dilapidated Manlixia are all thrown into the Fang family's treasury, and replaced with the Mauser 1888 style given by Fang Tianhao, which can be described as unspirited.

According to Fang Mu's meaning, our Fang family will use the best if they want to use it. Fang family, not bad money!

Originally, Fang Mu wanted to pull the two small steel cannons as well, but was stopped by the rational Fang Tianhao.

Just kidding, if you bring some guns, it's nothing. After all, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a flood of guns, and the imperial court couldn't control it if it wanted to. Later, I simply got a gun license, and if I wanted to have a gun, I had to go to the local administrative agency to apply for a gun license, and I had to pay ten taels of silver for a gun license.

In this way, it can not only create income for the imperial court, perhaps for corrupt officials, but also facilitate management.

Fang Tianhao handled 200 gun licenses for the Fang family's nursing home.

Before Fang Mu went out, Fang Tianhao gave Fang Mu a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, but it was kept by Laifu.

Perhaps, Fang Tianhao still had the last scruples in his heart, afraid that Fang Mu would go to Chunyi Mansion or the gambling house again.

It seems, ginger. It's still old and spicy, not to mention an adult ginger!!

According to Fang Tianhao's direct statement, if the 100,000 taels were spent on the Fang family, it would be nothing; If Fang Mu took it to find flowers and ask willows.

That Fang Mu really didn't get a penny in the Fang family in his life

Thirty kilometers away from Baozhuang, in the western part of Sichuan Province, Lexian is rich in coal resources and other mineral resources.

Along the way, the family members were very excited, and most of them were visiting the county for the first time, and the curiosity on their faces was revealed.

If it weren't for Fang Mu's appearance, maybe they would have been in the Fang family for the rest of their lives with a salary of one or two silver a month, until they married a wife and had children, until they died of old age.

But Fang Mu's appearance led them to another path of blood and fire!!

"Young master, is there a big Fang family in the county?" Huzi was walking beside Fang Mu and asked Fang Mu with a curious expression.

Fang Mu smiled, but he didn't make fun of Huzi's ignorance, and patiently explained to Huzi

"Huzi, the county seat is hundreds of times bigger than the Fang family, the Fang family can only be regarded as a big family in Baozhuang, how can it be compared with the county seat. There are more than 100,000 people living in the county alone, and there are only 800 people in our family."

When Huzi heard this, he was shocked.

"Mom! It is hundreds of times larger than the Fang family, and there are more than 100,000 people inside"! Huzi sighed on the side.

"You must know that there are no 10,000 people in dozens of villages in Baozhuang, and there are more than 100,000 people in one county alone, how can this not shock Huzi, even Li Laotu next to Huzi is dumbfounded."

Laifu looked indifferent on the side.

Fang Mu shook his head.

I thought of Shanghai. Now known as the Magic City, Shanghai, later the Pearl of the Orient.

Since the Opium War, the country was opened, and the Qing government was forced to open the Fu trade, and the thirteen trade points of the Kaifu were Shanghai, and then a large number of capitalist goods from the great powers invaded the Chinese market, making Shanghai a huge city in just a few decades.

Of course, this has also caused a huge trauma to China's self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, so that many families cannot even eat a full meal, and many families are ruined.

"One day, our Fang Mu will drive away those foreign economic invasions and kick out those concessions" Fang Mu's eyes flickered.

Only one side of the rifle was found

The group walked for a day, and finally arrived at the county seat at about five o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the city gate there were two soldiers wearing Qing Dynasty military uniforms with the word "brave" written on them guarding the city gate.

The people who came in and out formed a long line, and the people who entered the city gate all stuffed a few copper plates into the hands of the two city guards, and the two city guards accepted them with a proud face, and then impatiently let those who entered the city go quickly.

It was Fang Mu's turn to be them, Fang Mu and his party were two hundred people, and the soldiers guarding the city saw it, and their eyes were green.

Because of this line, they can at least hang a few taels of silver.

They have the wine money for this month, and they can also find two low-class girls in Chunyi Building to play around.

"You have to give a total of twenty taels of silver before you can enter the city," said one of the two soldiers defending the city, the older Fang Mu, and the other one arrogantly.

"Why do we have to give twenty taels, we only have two hundred, at most five taels of silver is enough," Laifu reasoned to the guards guarding the door.

"If you want to give it, you can give it, if you don't want to pay these twenty taels of silver, hurry up and get out of the uncle, don't block people from entering the city." The older soldier said impatiently.

"You"! Rifle was so angry that he pointed at the soldier, and his chest fell together.

He was in the Fang family, who saw disrespectfully calling the butler of Laifu, this soldier actually called himself uncle to him!!

When the family members on the side saw it, they all raised their guns one after another, as if they were waiting for Fang Mu to give an order.

"What do you want to do"? When the older soldiers saw the actions of their families, their faces changed greatly, and even their voices trembled.

Officers and soldiers like them, who are used to bullying those ordinary people, are usually arrogant and domineering, thinking that the county commander is the first and they are the second, but they didn't expect this group, the common people who are like sheep in their eyes dare to point guns at them, which is really unprecedented.

"You are rebelling, but you want to kill your head, put down your guns quickly." The older soldier said with a strong voice.

When those family members behind Fang Mu heard this, a look of hesitation flashed in their eyes, and they didn't know what to do for a while, after all, the idea of feudal etiquette was very ingrained in their minds, and they all turned their heads to look at Fang Mu.

"It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the ideological education of these families, that is, brainwashing, so that they know who they are loyal to, otherwise, all they need is an edict from the Manchu Dynasty, and these families will not put down their guns one after another and wait for the Manchu Tartars to fall."

Fang Mu said secretly in his heart.

Looking at the two parties of the stalemate, Fang Mugang wanted to give money.

"Yang Jianglin, what are you doing"?

At this time, a person dressed like an officer walked over from inside the city gate, slapped this soldier named Yang Jianglin, and turned his head and said to Fang Mu with a smile after the fight.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Mu, this kid has just been transferred, and he is not sensible, please don't be embarrassed by Young Master Mu."

"Young Master Mu, are you going to enter the city? Do you want me to lead the way for you?'"

After speaking, the officer-like man was still hunched over and looked at Fang Mu with a humble face, yes! It's humility.

Fang Mu was confused.

On the other hand, Laifu sighed helplessly on the side, and entered the county seat with Fang Mu and his party

"Captain, why are you beating me for a rich man in the countryside?"

At the city gate, Yang Jianglin asked the captain who slapped him innocently.

This captain is the officer just now.

"You kid has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, even the nephew of the county commander dares to collect money, it's okay if you don't kill you" The captain officer did not comfort him, but scolded angrily.

And the soldier named Yang Jianglin heard his captain talk about the nephew of the county order. Suddenly, his mouth opened wide, his face showed a look of fear, and his mouth was nagging

"It's over, it's over
