Wang Shihua seemed to have seen the cruel disaster with his own eyes, his brows were tightly locked, his expression was desolate, and he looked like he was in pain.

But in fact, he was as happy as if he had seen a fairy dancing naked. This is not to say that he has no sympathy, but because: the more serious the disaster, when he starts to save everyone, he will get the greatest reward for the Wang family's grand plan to gather manpower...... The expression was miserable, just to be able to cooperate with Fang Jue's performance, so as to confuse Fang Jue, so as not to make trouble for himself again when the time came.

Of course, if Wang Shihua was killed, he would not believe that the disaster had really come to this point. At least, the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain that Fang Jue swindled from him were enough to last until the Chinese New Year. Therefore, Wang Shihua's plan is also after the Chinese New Year. Then, if you say anything now, you won't give Fang Jue another grain of food.

"I feel the same way, but I can't help myself." Wang Shihua shook his head in pain, sighed, and said: "As the head of the Wang family, I have to take care of the people of my Wang family first, and then I have the ability and power to save everyone...... I really want to rescue, but I can't help it, alas~! County Magistrate Fang, you won't understand my suffering. ”

"Nope! Lord Wang, as long as you are willing to help, the people of the county will ......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Wang Shihua covered his eyes with his right hand in pain, and shook his hand with his left hand, saying: "Don't talk about it again, if you talk about it again, my heart will soften." ”

You have to listen to this in reverse: Boy, go to the Tao, and if you talk about it again, I'll be angry.

"But this wanted warrant ......"

"If you like it, just send it! Anyway, I don't plan to leave Lao Sicheng before the Chinese New Year. ”

Fang Jue immediately understood the meaning of these words: After the Chinese New Year, I will help in time according to the situation, and I will never really see the tragic scene of Yi Zi eating. Of course, I can't guarantee you the timing.

"After the Chinese New Year......

"After the Chinese New Year?" Wang Shihua put down his right hand, looked at Fang Jue, and slowly, he smiled. Said: "County Magistrate Fang, the military ranks of my officers at all levels of the Baojing Regiment, as well as whether our Baojing Regiment is an armed force directly under the province, these have not yet been approved." ”

"When I came, I made a special call to my father, and it has been approved, and I am going through the procedure, and I believe it will be implemented soon...... Master Wang, can you give me a specific date? ”

"Date?" Wang Shihua picked up the teacup, looked at Fang Jue, and said with a more cheerful smile: "But you can also see that I am vigorously banning smoking, and as a result, if you kill a few lawbreakers who dare to violate the national government, you will give me a wanted warrant." County Magistrate Fang, you say, am I too busy? ”

"Just kidding you, you take it seriously." As he spoke, County Magistrate Fang grabbed the wanted warrant on the table and tore it up directly. He Mei is right: all affairs, in front of the big killer of food, have to give way.

"Then my non-smoking thing......"

"The ban on opium is a matter that the government prohibits, and if the head of the Wang family understands the righteousness, I, as the head of a county, must of course support it."

"Then can you please give me the next official letter, just say that I am on your orders to ban smoking."

"This ...... This ......" County Magistrate Fang really didn't think that there was anything wrong with doing this for a while, but he instinctively felt that there would be trouble.

Once Wang Shihua gets this official document, it is equivalent to having a lightning rod, if anyone dares to trouble him in this matter -- you see, this matter is an official document issued to me by the county magistrate, which not only has the official seal of the county government, but also the signature and private seal of the county magistrate. Banning smoking is a permanent task with a long way to go, once the county magistrate officially issued this official document, there will be countless troubles waiting for him, even if there is no now, there will be in the future, this thunder, he has to bear it at any time during the term of the county magistrate.

"Ouch~! When I think of the miserable situation of those victims who will change their children and eat, I feel distressed...... People eat people, I've only heard about books, and I really haven't seen it......" As he spoke, he covered his eyes with his right hand and shouted in pain, but his eyes swept between his fingers Fang Jue, seeing that Fang Jue was still hesitating, Wang Shihua got up directly and said: "County Magistrate Fang, I'm sorry, I'm really distressed, I want to take a break, please take care of yourself, I ......"

How could Fang Jue not understand this? In the face of such persecution, Fang Jue immediately became upset: Wang Shihua promised to take over this biggest and most troublesome mess after the New Year. Now, he has linked this matter with the smoking ban, and made it clear that if he doesn't agree, he will leave it alone, how you let Fang Jue not be in a hurry - compared to the disaster, nothing matters, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it in exchange for Wang Shihua to take over.

Without waiting for Wang Shihua to finish speaking, Fang Jue grabbed Wang Shihua's hand and said, "Wang Peel, don't pretend." Ay~! Whoever let the grain be in your hands, I admit it, and no matter how you push it on me, I will admit it. ”

In fact, Fang Jue is also acting: no matter what, with his own father taking care of him, this official position is that the governor wants to find fault and take it off, so he must first consider the reaction of the local faction headed by my father, that is to say, the official position must be stable; No matter how arrogant the four families are, as long as they dare not rebel, their lives will be guaranteed. So, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just borrowing a name and carrying a thunder? It's a big deal to bite and not let go, I want to see what you can do with me?

"You talked about it earlier~!" Wang Shihua immediately stopped hurting, sat down with a big grin, and after taking a sip of tea, he complained dissatisfiedly: "It hurts me for a long time." ”

"Don't act for me, I get goosebumps when I watch it. I agreed to this, but I'll talk about the ugly things first, which only includes the ban on smoking, and if there are other things, don't blame me for not admitting it. ”

"No problem."

"You're okay, it's my turn." Fang Jue looked at Wang Shihua directly, looking forward to it as if he was seeing a fairy, and asked: "The first day of the Lunar New Year is after the Chinese New Year, and the thirtieth day of the lunar month next year is also after the New Year, this time cannot be judged, I have paid two big prices, you have to give me a specific time guarantee." ”

"Weasel, you can eat more, but you can't talk nonsense! What are the two conditions? You have to find out that the previous condition was exchanged by me with grain, and it was part of the previous transaction between you and me. But you haven't finished it yet, can't I rush it? Think about the time when you asked me to extort food, that ......"

"Gotcha! Get! Get! I'm not right, I'm saying the wrong thing, okay? ”

"That's pretty much it." Wang Shihua took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Fang, you don't trust me so much? ”

"You're just a pickpocket, we'd better die than you'll change your mind when the time comes." After speaking, County Magistrate Fang suddenly came to his senses: Wang Shihua was arguing with him to delay time so that he could think about it carefully. He immediately urged: "Master Wang, don't talk to me about anything else, give me a happy word, what is the specific time?" ”

"Within a month of the year."

"That won't do! I can't last that long, and the slowest will have to be before the end of the first month. ”

"Weasel, I have to observe this kind of thing, and 'exchange' opinions with certain people...... If it were you, would you dare to give me an exact time? ”

County Magistrate Fang thought about it, sighed, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Deal!" ”

"Deal!"

Talking about this important matter, Wang Shihua's heart was much more relaxed, and he was naturally much more generous, and wanted to ask the county magistrate Fang to stay for dinner before leaving, but who knows, the county magistrate Fang had to leave in a hurry, and the reason made Wang Shihua gloat.

"Master Wang, don't you know how bastards those bastards below me are. I begged for some food from you, but someone dared to trade in the old for the new and collude with the grain merchants...... If I hadn't found it in time, I'm afraid the whole grain would have been eaten by these moths. I'll have to go back and watch, or God knows if they're going to fool my secretary who is overly righteous. ”

"Then you didn't kill a few Liwei?"

"I'm not a dry eater, so how can I not kill? I killed two as soon as I found out, and dealt with two more at noon yesterday, but I'm still not at ease. ”

"By the way, when it comes to moths, I think of something. County Magistrate Fang, according to our agreement, on January 1 of the solar calendar next year, I should send someone to the county seat to be responsible for tax collection. Look, when did I send someone over to learn it? After speaking, Wang Shihua also specially added: "Today is December 8th, and it will be a few days." ”

"That's it, you send someone on the 21st, and when the time comes, I'll arrange it."

"Thanks!"

"No, you don't! Who makes us friends. ”

To be fair, the temperament of the two is really a bit similar: now they have their own needs, so they naturally abide by the agreement and cooperate happily, but once they touch the bottom line of the two people's hearts and turn their faces, it is definitely faster than turning a book. To put it bluntly, when it is time to be shameless, both of them can be shameless immediately.

As soon as Fang Jue was sent away, Wang Shihua turned around and called Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jing, who had been in charge of this matter, carefully discussed the details with them, and explained them in detail: In fact, this matter began to be selected after the contract was signed, and now the candidates have already been selected, just waiting for the handover.

In the following days, Wang Shihua can be described as busy with wind under his feet.

On December 9, the first large-scale smoking cessation was announced, and all but the three old opium ghosts who died were eliminated from the big smoking on their bodies. Of course, whether they will commit it again depends on the strength of the Wang family's strict defense and the supervision of the smokers' families.

On the 10th, the construction of the Baojing regiment station was accelerated. Wang Shihua inspects the construction site every day, and occasionally visits the school......

On the 11th, Jiang Agou came with news from Wuhan that there was chaos outside, rumors were flying all over the sky, and some people even openly preached the 'theory of the death of the country'. In such a world, shouldn't we stock up on more weapons and ammunition? Naturally, Wang Shihua agreed. Subsequently, Jiang Agou contacted the boss of the Qian, planning to purchase another batch of ammunition, especially heavy weapons. At the same time, let Jiang Agou ask the dry boss to help and contact him to see if he can purchase a batch of Western medicine in large quantities at one time. After all, with the war, medicine is also a scarce commodity, and once the war burns in Xiangxi, with the guarantee of weapons and medicines, he is not afraid of anyone's aggression.

On the 13th, the harvest was over, and the officers returned to continue their training.

There is one point that makes Wang Shihua very puzzled: I really don't know whether it is the killing of chickens and monkeys that has a deterrent effect, or whether the county magistrate Fang is playing a role, since the county magistrate Fang officially issued an official document prohibiting smoking to himself, there is actually no opium dealer who dares to peddle opium on the territory of the Wang family -- if it were not for the conclusion that the county magistrate Fang did not have the ability to plant spies among the four major families, and if it was determined that Tian Lao Wu was not the person of the county magistrate, Wang Shihua really suspected that this matter was a spy in the spy that he secretly arranged.

On the 16th, Goudan and the other thirteen people returned......
