Chapter 18: Borrowing a Boat to Harvest (3)

Originally, Zhao Guanhou collected some news about Xingezhuang and thought about some means of negotiating with them, but for him, this kind of thing can only be regarded as pediatrics.

In the last life, he negotiated with gang bosses or business elites or other killers, and basically every time he could ensure the interests of his side and keep his bottom line. Dealing with some villagers is like killing chickens. Including economic sanctions, or the threat of force, he has enough methods to force the other side to bow their heads.

The appearance of Li Xiushan allowed him to find a more convenient way, although that force did not belong to him, but the villagers did not grasp this situation. As long as they operate properly, it is enough to scare these villagers into surrendering.

Xin Daqing's face changed a few times, and those things that no one would eat anymore in the next life put down their chopsticks and looked at Xin Daqing quietly. At this time, even if they were asked to cut people with knives, they would not dare. In the final analysis, they are all simple villagers, not robbers who kill people and set fires, even if the Jin State has been declining over the years, the government is still an invincible and powerful existence in their eyes.

People say that at this time, the pattern of the Jin country is "officials are afraid of foreigners, foreigners are afraid of the common people, and ordinary people are afraid of officials." "The truth of the middle article is doubtful, one end and the other, but the summary is extremely correct.

The people are afraid of the government, just as the court of the Jin Kingdom is afraid of the Taixiyi people, and they are almost all talking about it. In addition, the fortunes of the Jin country are not prosperous, and he has been repeatedly frustrated abroad, and he has become more and more strict on his own people. If there is a small mistake, it will be punished heavily, and the dead bodies in the cage outside the county yamen are the best evidence.

The troops bought by 200 yuan may not really uproot Xingezhuang, but even if they walk up and sweep it at will, it is enough to make this small village Dai Xiao and ten years unable to slow down. Although these people are the brave and aggressive people selected by the village, when they think of the prestige of the new army and the fast guns they carry behind their backs, they now regret it a little, and the robbery of the bride is too reckless.

"Shopkeeper Wang can come and take a look, his daughter-in-law has not touched a finger, for so many days, people have not even changed their clothes, and they have been living with my wife. He...... How could he do that? ”

Although Xin Daqing was a soldier, if he was really elite, he would not come back to farm. In fact, he only worked as a firehead under Ma Yulun of the Yi Army for a few days, and his courage is considered big in the village, and it is not worth mentioning in the big environment.

On the contrary, it was his military career that made him more aware of the horror and greed of Jin Bing than those young people, and the heads of the whole village, young and old, were worth almost thousands of taels of silver. If they follow the style of the Yi Army, even if it is not for two hundred oceans, they will happily come over to kill people and rob money. The new army doesn't even need a sentry, as long as it comes to a shed, it can make Xingezhuang a history from now on.

The cigarette pouch in his hand fell weakly on the table, but he didn't realize that since the beginning of the negotiations, Xin Gezhuang had put on a mixed attitude, scolding or throwing things to make trouble if he was not satisfied, or he would threaten the hostages. After all, these gangsters had to be subdued before the game was over, and this was the first time they showed a look of fear.

Zhao Guanhou stretched out his hand to pick up the pair of crutches, stood up, and looked at Xin Daqing again, "It's too stuffy in the house, let's talk a few words in the aisle, and even breathe through the air." ”

Xin Daqing picked up the cigarette pouch blankly, followed Zhao Guanhou to the corridor outside the private room, and saw the four soldiers standing outside the No. 2 private room. Zhao Guanhou made a gesture of greeting to the four of them, and although the four soldiers did not squint, they also nodded at him. In Xin Daqing's view, this proves that Zhao Guanhou does know them, otherwise how can they greet each other?

He didn't know that the task of these soldiers today was to support the prestige of the Li family, and each of them would earn five dimes of pocket money, and they would never dare to cause trouble. What's more, today is the day of negotiations between the fishermen and the Li family, and a few gangsters have also been invited from the fishermen's side, and people like Zhao Guanhou can't be offended, otherwise they will ruin the peace talks, and this responsibility will not be easy to say.

Zhao Guanhou walked on crutches and Xin Daqing to the corridor on the side, turned around and asked, "Do you want me to take you in, see Officer Li, and meet everyone?" ”

"No...... Don't. We croppers are naturally afraid of officials, but we don't dare to face such a big military attachΓ©, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as we can leave a way to live, all of us in Xingezhuang are good people, not bandits and robbers, and we don't do the kidnapping and extortion. It's just that they squeezed us, and there is really no way to live, and we can't help it. ”

Zhao Guanhou's expression was very gentle, and he took the initiative to nod his head, "That's right, what you said is not bad, it is true that you are being squeezed and there is no way, and I don't agree with their approach." This time, I didn't come out specifically to suppress anyone, but I always wanted to tell a truth. Let's think of a solution to this matter, so that we can explain it in several aspects. ”

The so-called negotiation is naturally to talk about each party's own conditions, and then compromise with each other, and finally achieve mutual satisfaction. Zhao Guanhou is among them, and what he pays the most attention to is naturally his own interests.

The two components of the big wine vat are red, he must take it, but if this matter is solved really neatly, Ma Dabi will not admit it afterwards, and he will not even pay the remaining few yuan, he will also take it into account.

Moreover, although Xin Gezhuang didn't invite himself, but they didn't invite themselves, it was the biggest mistake, and they had to let them know that not only the gangsters in the big wine vat could make them bleed, but all the gangsters had the ability to make people bleed and break money.

The solution he proposed, in terms of the burden on the vegetable farmers in Xingezhuang, is actually a little heavier than in the past. But the name of this has changed from a tribute to the gangsters to a protection fee. This fee includes not only the protection fee for the vat, but also the money for the purchase of life for the new army.

In the past, people in the entire large wine vat could bully vegetable farmers at will, and it was common to take a few vegetables. However, in the future, the gangsters in the big vat will have the obligation to protect the vegetable farmers, except for the gangsters, no one else enjoys the right to oppress the vegetable farmers, and if there are still people who can take whatever they want as in the past, it will be regarded as infringing on the rights and interests of the gangsters in the field of vegetable farmers, and will be dealt a heavy blow. In addition, these peasants sell vegetables in the market, and if they are bullied again, the gangsters in the big vat also have the obligation to find a place for them.

As for the share given to the new army, not to mention, Yuan Daotai's training in a small station is to protect the safety of the Jinmen fathers and elders, as a member of the Jinmen fathers and elders, enjoying the protection of the foreign gun team, this treatment has caught up with the court officials, shouldn't a little money be paid as a commission? Whoever has an objection to this is against Yuan Daotai and against the new army, and anyone who opposes the new army is suspected of banditry, and he should be shot first and then investigated in detail.

The signing of a treaty that humiliates the country often hides a lot of unspeakable secrets, and the treaty of the humiliation of the village is no exception.

Although Xingezhuang is a weak village and has no diplomacy, as soon as this condition is agreed, the old and young masters will have to pay more money every month than in the past, which is actually difficult to pass. However, the important reason why Xin Changqing was finally persuaded was that of course there was the pressure of the new army's quick guns, but the greater pressure came from the income distribution plan proposed by Zhao Guanhou.

These cents of money will be divided into four parts, the largest part is naturally handed over to the new army Cao Bang, please Cao Bang bring more items, so that the new army will not go to Xingezhuang to suppress bandits. The other three parts are divided equally by the big wine tank, the small shoe shop, and Xin Daqing. At the same time, all Xin Daqing's sons and nephews can enjoy the right to reduce or reduce the amount of money, which can be regarded as preferential treatment for him.

Although Xin Daqing claims to be out to mess around, his income is actually very limited, and people like him are idle people, and they have little interest in the work of serving crops. There is no room for him to copy his hands and take a maid in the village, and if he wants to eat from gangsters in the city, he doesn't have this hard bone. Life on weekdays is actually very difficult, if it weren't for this kind of thing happening in the village, no one would have thought that there was such a number one as him.

Even if he successfully solves this matter and waives the toll for selling vegetables in the village, he will only receive a little gratitude, plus a small gift, too many benefits, and he will not be able to fall. On the contrary, after the signing of this treaty, he could withdraw a regular income from the village, and he could buy a good one in the village, which was an excellent deal for him. So, in the corridor of the champion building, Xin Daqing betrayed his village with a righteous face and became an undercover agent of gangsters in Xingezhuang.

After the discussion, he simply pulled Zhao Guanhou and said, "Brother, you people in the city are very flexible, and they are much stronger than those of us who dig in the soil." I'll go back later, and I'll trouble you to play a play with me, so that I can have an explanation in the village. After all, I'm going to live there in the future, and I'll always have to save a little face. This will not be for you to help in vain, your leg was broken by a stick, I can help you figure it out. ”

When he served in the Yi Army, although he was only a firehead, he always knew some people. The army eats swords, guns, and bone wounds, all of which are common things, and one of them has a prescription, plasters and pills can speed up the growth of bones. He refused to tell people about this prescription, but there were some medicines, and Xin Daqing relied on bringing him some wine and meat, so he asked for some medicine.

He also came out half of the way out, begging for these things, originally preparing himself to come to the rescue in case his bones were broken. But although he has the idea of being a gangster, he doesn't have the courage to be a gangster, and he doesn't have the endurance to scrape bones and cure poison. As soon as the stick came down, I couldn't help but call my mother, there was no food for him in this line, and the medicine was not used.

Now that he still has those medicines in his hands, he is willing to give some of them to Zhao Guanhou in exchange for him to cooperate with him in this play. Moreover, it is easy for the daughter-in-law of the king's shopkeeper to be snatched in, and how to carry it out of Xingezhuang is also a problem.

If the newcomer commits suicide because of the name problem in the end, it is equivalent to one more big enemy. Although Xin Daqing can't be famous, his eyes are bright, and he can see that compared to Jiang Youcheng and them, Zhao Guanhou is really the one who has ideas and can do things, and if this matter is to be solved safely, it is up to him to find a way in the end.

When they returned to the elegant seat, the villagers who came with them first surrounded Xin Daqing to inquire, and after receiving a response, they unsurprisingly made a noise. Xin Daqing behaved like a loyal martyr, determined to protect the interests of his village, and then the saber rattling between the two sides seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and Ma Dabi and Jiang Youcheng almost thought that the negotiations had failed again. But not long after, a smile appeared on both of their faces, after all, they were running the rivers and lakes, and the two of them already understood from the words that this Xin Daqing had turned against the water, and this time it was destined to be the victory of their own side.
