486, the storm in the village (2)
"You have to pay compensation!"
"Exactly, exactly, if you don't pay for it, you strangers won't want to leave!"
There was a noise all around, Yu Guozhen thought it was interesting, when they first arrived, the people in the small village were still a little afraid of them, because it was a nameless village, there was no such thing as a chief of security, and the prepared official documents did not come in handy. But after a few hours, when they set up their tents and looked like they were going to live for a while, the people of the small village began to come together to watch the excitement. Although Wang Qinian was stupid, he was a man who liked to show off, so he distributed the candy he brought to the children in the village, but he never expected that this would cause trouble.
Several children fought for candy, but after fighting for a while, they thought that Wang Qinian had more on him, so they pounced on Wang Qinian to rob him of his candy. Seeing that he didn't fight back, he had the audacity to snatch the rest of his body, even the short sword and the short gun.
This made Wang Qinian have to fight back, in the military discipline of Xinxiang Huwei, losing a weapon is a serious crime, and without the approval of the commander, you will be punished for showing the weapon to others!
As a result, although Wang Qinian won a big victory, he could beat the small ones but led to the big ones, and in the end, a group of villagers dragged a few children with blue noses and swollen faces to run to find trouble.
Looking at Wang Qinian, who was sobbing with tears in his eyes, Yu Guozhen shook his head.
This kid has already shown his fierce demeanor on the battlefield, but he has forced a few people to look like this - but what can be done about it, the military discipline of the Tiger Guard is deeply imprinted in his bones.
In essence, he was still too good.
"You mean, you brats fight and steal our stuff. And then he was injured, and this subordinate of mine is to blame? Yu Guozhen asked after listening to the other party's arguing for a long time.
"Where did you rob something, and who proves that you robbed something?" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Yu Guozhen glanced at this person, a thin black man in his thirties. Because the people here are generally not tall, his figure is at least half a head shorter than that of Huwei, but he is extremely imposing, and he thinks that there are many people in his consciousness. These outsiders don't dare to do anything.
"Look at it, you little white face, stupid big man, even when you come to the government, you have to pay for beating someone!" Seeing Yu Guozhen looking at him, the thin black man spat contemptuously and spit on the ground in front of Yu Guozhen.
The tiger guards around were furious. Qi Niu strode over and was about to grab the fat guy and beat him, but Yu Guozhen smiled.
"Let him lick the stuff back on the ground." Yu Guozhen said.
The man was grabbed by Qi Niu and pressed to the ground, and then Qi Niu stepped on his head, forcing him to get closer to the thick phlegm he spit out, and the man screamed like a pig. The two people around wanted to help, but they were immediately blocked by the tiger guards.
When the man's face was covered with thick phlegm, there was silence all around.
Originally, they thought that this group of outsiders was rich and prosperous, so the villagers wanted to take advantage of it, since ancient times, people have left their hometowns and strong dragons do not fight the head snake, they feel that a little blackmail has nothing to do with it. Even if it provokes the other party's anger, the most it is to apologize.
But they didn't expect Yu Guozhen with a gentle smile on his face. There will be such a big reaction.
"It's good for everyone to calm down, just gossiping, it's really panicking." Yu Guozhen ignored the thin black man on the ground, but turned to the villagers who were angry and hateful in silence: "You remember one thing, if you come to reason with me, then I will reason with you." If you are unreasonable, I will be even more unreasonable than you! ”
"Let me ask you one more question. Are you here to ask for compensation? Seeing that everyone's faces were full of anger and dare not speak, Yu Guozhen asked again.
He has long seen that this thin black man is different from others, there are no calluses on his hands, he is clearly a lazy and lazy idler, and he is even more frivolous when he speaks.
"You have to give an explanation when you beat someone...... an old man in the crowd saw that the two lepers in the usual day had been restrained, so he had to come out and said timidly.
"Hitting?" Yu Guozhen glanced at Wang Qinian, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and nodded: "That's right, if you beat someone, you have to give an explanation, Qinian, take off your upper clothes." ”
Wang Qinian didn't know what he meant, but he still took off his upper clothes. This time, there was a sudden sound of cold air around!
Not to mention the hardships that Wang Qi endured when he was young, that is, after following the tiger guard, he fought every day, and he was in battle during the war, and he left so many scars on his body that even Qi Niu couldn't compare. He is a real fool, and he will not be opportunistic, so these injuries are real and look shocking!
"My little brother has so many injuries on his body, what do you say to give him?"
"It's not our ......"
"Very good, then you kids' injuries, is he really the one who hit them?" Yu Guozhen sneered: "My little brother has been in the battle array, and there is always a ** life in his hand, if he does it, you group of waste-like boys, can still have a pant now?" ”
Regardless of whether Wang Qinian beat people or not, Yu Guozhen must first resolutely defend him, if he really beats someone, he can be punished afterwards, but in front of outsiders, he will never admit this account!
"Don't say it's those kids, do you think you can catch my little brother with you, he just doesn't want to hurt people." Yu Guozhen was also very angry in his heart, he came to this village to investigate, to see if he could open up the situation by personally leading the working group, but he didn't expect to be given a disadvantage by this group of ignorant villagers as soon as he arrived!
Such a small village is still like this, you can imagine what kind of situation it will be like in a big village where the clan forces are intertwined!
"Master, we are just poor insects in the poor countryside, we have no knowledge, and I beg the master not to blame us......" From the time he saw the scars on Wang Qinian's body, the old man knew that he must have hit the iron plate today, and he thought it was just a maritime merchant from other places, but he never thought that it was a strong dragon who had really used swords!
"Naturally, you won't blame, but you will be punished if you do something wrong, especially these boys, who dare to provoke the soldiers and try to snatch the ordnance, so I don't know the severity of it, obviously my parents have not taught them well." Yu Guozhen pointed at the few boys who shrunk their heads and shrunk their heads and prepared to slip away under the cover of adults: "Since my parents have not taught me well, then I will discipline them on my behalf!" ”
"Master, master, children...... You have a lot of adults, so let them go, right? ”
"I didn't say what I wanted to do with them, my family could visit them every morning and evening, and then put them home after a month." Yu Guozhen snorted: "You don't know how to teach children the rules, then I'll ...... Who wants to object? ”
The people around him suddenly knelt on the ground, and there were people begging constantly, but Yu Guozhen was like a stone, so he just ignored it.
Although the arrival of this turmoil was something he did not expect, it also gave him an entry point to implement his own policies. For any village, the child is the hope of the future, and as long as the child is controlled, it can be said that the village is in control.
As for the villagers' reaction now, Yu Guozhen doesn't care at all, thinking that after ten days and a half months, these poor villagers can't wait to send these children.
"I am going to build a house here for the sake of management, and if you are willing to make some money, you will level the land for me." Yu Guozhen pointed to a piece of land in the northeast corner of the village: "I think this place is good, whose field is this?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he meant by asking.
"Let me tell you what the house is used for building here, these boys will live in the house here, and I will have people send the materials needed to build the house, and I will also invite the craftsmen who built the house or something." After showing his authority, Yu Guozhen began to lure him into profit: "Anyone who works on my construction site will be in charge of three full meals a day, and they will also be paid according to the situation of their work, and the lazy will have nothing, and the diligent can earn from 15 to 50 yuan." ”
Hearing that he was in charge of three full meals a day, the eyes of the people in the village lit up. Yu Guozhen has long seen their fields, these villagers' farming methods are extremely simple, almost completely dependent on the sky for food, although they also plant rice, but Yu Guozhen estimates that their yield per mu may not reach 200 catties - not much more than the seeds sown! Therefore, the village was very poor, and although they could still fish without starving to death, there was not much difference between their small broken fishing boats and foot basins, and the fish they caught were not suitable for preservation and had nowhere to sell, so it was difficult for the village to eat twice a day.
"This ...... Is what the old man said true? ”
Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Is there a scholar in the village? ”
The surroundings were all shaking their heads, and after a while, someone muttered: "Scholars are stars in the sky, how can there be scholars in our small village?" ”
"Whether there is it or not, you can watch this first." Yu Guozhen motioned to Qi Niu beside him, Qi Niu took off the rattan box he was carrying on his back, opened it, and took out a piece of paper from it.
The people in the village couldn't read what was written on the paper, but they could still see the big red seal in the lower right corner.
"This is the announcement of the Changhua County Order, and we are here to run a school and enrich the people." Yu Guozhen said.
From the reaction of the villagers, it is not difficult for him to see that the villagers are both in awe and eager to study, and the villagers may not take the rich people behind them seriously, but the school is not.
"From today on, all the people in the village who are over seven years old and under the age of fifteen will be enrolled in school - you can rest assured, you don't need the people to teach a copper plate, and the county will bear all the funds for running the school!"
"It turned out to be a bad trip, but we ...... Our village is small, I'm afraid it's ...... You don't need it, do you? Although the old man was moved, out of the old man's conservatism, he still expressed his opposition.
"It is not up to you whether you are worth it or not, but if you are between the ages of seven and under the fifteen, if you do not go to school, your father, grandparents, and uncles shall be punished with three days of shackles and ten days of hard labor, and if you do not go to school again, you will be punished with ten days of shackles and one month of hard labor......
After seeing Fang Cai Yu Guozhen's means, and hearing him coldly say the content of the punishment, no one among the villagers dared to take this as a deaf ear. Obviously, these "errands" who come are by no means easy to fool, and they will never be soft when they teach others! (To be continued)
