"Eh, did you hear that? The people in Xuancheng have changed! The bandits in the nearby mountains dragged nearly 10,000 homeless people to make trouble together, and they all arrived in the county seat! ”

"I've heard it a long time ago, if you want to say that those bandits are cunning enough, they suddenly made trouble in the crowd of people fleeing the famine, and even the patrol battalion suffered a loss."

"No, I heard that there were dozens of dead and injured people, but it made the Hu people above feel distressed. I also heard that several landlords living in the suburbs and their whole families were killed by bandits. Along the way, I didn't even let go of the thatched houses of the poor people, and I created evil~"

"What? It's all robbed, there's no humanity here! ”

"No, you listen to me tell you......"

"Okay, okay, I said what are you all talking about?! My brother-in-law is eating food under the command of Master Hu of the New Army, and we heard the news last night. What do you say? Those bandits have been pacified! ”

"What?! Flattened so quickly? Zhao'an will also talk about it for a few days. ”

"I said, what are you doing in the Spring and Autumn Dream, you don't look at the new army Lord Hu is such a character, don't say anything else, just take a look at the patrol battalion of Tu County and then go to see that Anqing, you have to throw away the goods! Let me tell you, I heard my brother-in-law say that Master Hu is amazing, killing gods! As soon as it came up, there were 8 cannons, and the boom was the same as thunder, so why do you talk about the thousands of flowering bullets that are still alive? My brother-in-law saw with his own eyes, the dead man's arms and legs, hanging all over the tree! ”

"Tear~" inhales like a collective toothache.

In the past few days, there have been new topics for tea customers and idlers coming and going in teahouses all over the country. At that time in the Great Qing Dynasty, the means of communication were still very backward. Taking Anhui Province as an example, in addition to several important counties and cities, such as Anqing, the provincial capital, and Wuhu, which is close to Jiangling, have telegraphed to the outside world, other remote areas still have to rely on fast horses to send books to get information from the outside world. The Futai lord asked the counties to strengthen the control of public security, and beware of the documents of the homeless people and bandits making trouble, which had just been sent to the subordinate counties by the soldiers, and the news of the riot subsidence came before the man left. "My goodness, what kind of speed is this." Almost all of them were muttering in their hearts. In their understanding, the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom will do nothing but bully and bully the common people, and do something for nothing! The new army, the old Eight Banners, and the patrol battalion are all good in their eyes, when did this Anhui have such a capable team? For a time, Hu Rui, Hu Xietong, and the new army under his command became a new topic of conversation among the common people.

On the other hand, the patrol battalions of the five counties such as Tu and Xuancheng were not idle, and settled the dead and wounded brothers in the camp, and no one was given 20 silver dollars for each injured person, and 100 silver dollars for each dead family. This money was approved by Hu Rui, and there is a special person responsible for distributing it, so no one wants to rub oil in it! Then he rolled up his sleeves and threw himself into the operation to restore order. According to Hu Rui's instructions, the nearly 100 bandits, members of the Hui Party, and the descendants of the Huama team who were fooled by the League with 3,000 silver dollars were all tied behind their backs, and a walnut was stuffed in their mouths and escorted to the execution ground. So many people died this time, and there were more than 500 houses that were burned down alone, and there must be an explanation, these people, especially those guys from the Flower Horse Team, will definitely not be able to stay! Outside the execution ground, a large group of people gathered early to watch the excitement, and there is no shortage of people in China to watch the excitement. All the backbone fighters drawn from various units of the New Army, regardless of whether they participated in the slag bucket or not, all participated in the lottery, and they waited in groups of three with guns on their shoulders. The soldiers on the periphery were also trying to maintain order, and many of the victims' families were out of control and cried at the scene.

"Gentlemen, they're all ready! Come, raise your gun! ”

Wang Tianda also left with the large army of the new army, but stayed behind with a platoon of the guard company to supervise the execution. Several of these people are practitioners, and they all play qigong. Before the execution, just in case, Wang Tianda privately arranged for someone to pick their big muscles to prevent trouble on the spot.

"Ready, put!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

After three gunshots, the three prisoners who knelt on the ground lay down and two of them, one of them was still normal and was shot by the bullet, and his brain flew straight to see Hades, and the other was shot in the chest and was not dead, and he was pumping straight on the ground. The third one was even more unscathed, and the squad leader of the new army who was executed trembled and put down his empty gun, and when he saw that his head was opened, he immediately covered his mouth and ran to the side and vomited.

"What the fuck are you doing?! Don't embarrass us! Our Anhui New Army has no seeds! If you haven't seen blood as a soldier and eat food, are you still worthy of wearing this skin?! Give me the spirit to come on! Shoot a death row prisoner and fuck a sick cat, and you won't have to pee your pants when you go to the battlefield in the future?! Take off this skin and go home to farm as soon as possible! If you don't have this ability, don't eat this bowl of rice! Come, continue! Wang Tianda became angry all of a sudden, grabbed the squad leader who couldn't stop vomiting and pulled him back to the execution ground, and stuffed the rifle into his arms without saying anything. This is Hu Rui's personal order, the troops are all newly formed, lack of actual combat experience and have never seen blood, must take advantage of this execution to hone training. The squad leader who had vomited enough took the rifle with red eyes, pulled the bolt, and reloaded the shell, Wang Tianda squinted his eyes and stared at the side with interest, and did not forget to continue to sarcastically in his mouth. The clay figures are all three-pointed, and the squad leader who was poked in the sore spot waited for the blood-red eyes to roar and shoot. He could not leave the troops. Now I don't know that the new army in Anhui has a high salary and good welfare, and Hu Xietong didn't say anything to the brothers below, the monthly salary is on time and in full and never deducted, and each person has an egg and a cup of milk powder every day, forcing you to eat it, and everyone will help anyone who is in trouble, and there is no matter where the officers beat and scold and bully the soldiers. I didn't say anything else except that the training was a little harder! I don't know how many people outside of such a good errand broke their heads and wanted to drill into the Anhui New Army, if they took off their military uniforms and went home because of this, then they would really have no face to see people in the future.

The shots rang out, but this time they didn't miss......

At the same time, Hu Rui in Wuhu was not idle, after the "retreat" came out, Hu Rui sent invitations to all the famous and surnamed characters in Wuhu, large and small, together with the county magistrates, to invite guests to dinner. Shangguan, please eat, how can you not go? Moreover, this is still a celebrity in front of the Lord of Futai, who has just broken the bandits, and Zhu Jiabao is also drafting a chapter to ask for credit. How long will this be waiting? The building was full of people that night, and all the characters with heads and faces up and down Wuhu were all there. It was not good to go to the banquet empty-handed, and the gifts and cash gifts brought by Hikari occupied a side room, which was guarded by the soldiers of the guard company. I don't know what Hu Rui talked about, but I know that early the next morning, almost all the teachers in Wuhu City who were a little famous were organized, and it was said that Lord Xietong was going to set up a new school. We must also vigorously promote the education of the poor! Oh, this is a great good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, and Hu Rui and Hu Xietong will be the God of Wealth in the eyes of all walks of life in Wuhu, last time the industrial park and her and the businessmen who worked all made money, and Hu Xietong still had no food to eat? For a while, all the teachers, large and small, rushed to participate, and spared no effort to give advice. The site of the new school was selected in three four-story small western-style buildings in Wuhu City, Wuhu. It was originally a newly built office building for a tobacco company in the United States, but later due to poor management and the intervention of the British, who regarded the Yangtze River basin as an inland river, three small western-style buildings were resold to Hu Rui at a very affectionate price, and the Americans themselves were embarrassed to say that the price was low. The three-storey small western-style building is enough for the teaching building, and the simplicity is a little simple, but can it be expanded in the future, and the ready-made house can be used with a little decoration.

As soon as the news spread, Wuhu went crazy up and down...... If this school is really opened, it is not comparable to a private school, what is the background of Hu Ruihu Xietong? Study in Germany! There is also the favor of the people of Futai, if this is not a smooth sail to run a school? If you really go in, you will be able to get some incense in the future, and there will be absolutely no harm to your future development! The place where you signed up for a time was overcrowded, and a place was hard to find. At the same time, two other evening literacy classes were quietly opened, mainly for factory workers and children from poor families who could not afford to go to school. Families with a little bit of conditions are reluctant to send their children to literacy classes, and they can only try their luck at the new school to see if they can get a place. As a result, the quota of more than 800 and 16 classes in the first phase became more and more nervous, and someone had already offered a price of 200 silver dollars per place, but it was exceeded by others before it arrived in two days. Education comes first in the 100-year plan, and this has not changed at any time.

Just when people from all walks of life showed their talents for a place, a villa area called Jinxiuyuan quietly began to break ground. Unlike other construction sites, the workers here are displaced people who were arrested during the last riots. I don't dare if they are involved, and letting them wander in society is a hidden danger after all, so Hu Rui pulled these free laborers to the construction site to do voluntary labor, and it was also called labor reform! In order to ensure the progress, Hu Rui also sent the project company over, and the permanent construction site was responsible for guarding the prisoners, and secondly, to ensure the progress and quality of the project. These people take care of food and shelter every day, and they do 2 thin meals a day except for no salary, at least they don't have to flee the famine, and it didn't take long to settle down. Referring to the concept of school district housing that was hyped in later generations, Hu Rui suddenly announced that he would tie up Jinxiuyuan and Xinxue. Any homeowner who buys a property here can send one of his children to a new school with the purchase paperwork and payment invoice, one for each family, and there are only 40 small villas in the first phase of Jinxiu Yuan, which is outdated. So the people who were born more than 100 years ago fell from one pit to another, and they rushed to the sales department to ask the price and were immediately stupid. The two-story villas, together with the back garden, garage and property fees, add up to an average of 100,000 silver dollars per villa, which is quite small. If you want a Western style, there is! If you want a Chinese classical bridge to flow water, there is! Who let us humanize the design, but the cost of humanized design is not cheap, you don't have 200,000 silver dollars don't want to take it down.

"Grab the money!"

A middle-aged man wearing a silk gown and a melon skin hat, with a fat body, tightened his chrysanthemum, clenched his wallet to the smiling sales lady, and fell to the ground, cold sweat flowed down, and the fat wrinkled face was smeared with a layer of oil. The people on the side also lost their interest in watching the excitement at the moment, and nodded wildly with righteous indignation, and they were about to turn it upside down.

There was no unpleasantness The sales lady of the sales department was still smiling, and she owed a debt to lead everyone to the model, and there were renderings on the wall. If you don't look at it, you will be stupid again...... Oh my god, this is even more beautiful than a foreigner's consulate! Exclusive back garden, pond, dedicated garage, and guard room and guard standing guard at the entrance of the community...... The consulates of various countries in Shanghai are weaker than this!

"Girl, the old man asks, are these renderings and models the same as the real thing?"

The old man with a child's beard and small eyes on the bridge of his nose asked kindly.

"Hello, we can guarantee that it is the same. We pay for the house in installments, you only need to pay 50% of the down payment, and the rest will be paid at the half of the project and at the end of the project. If you are interested, you can always come and see it during this period. In addition, all our designs are designed by English and Citigroup experts, absolutely guaranteed, you can rest assured. The sales lady replied with a slight owe.

"Earlier, it was rumored that the people of Futai in this place also received a small building so that they could come here to take a rest in their leisure time. Looking at this picture today, you know that this is true, Feng Shui treasure! That's it, the old business association has been running for many years, and the tobacco, salt, iron, and cloth are all thin, and the 200,000 silver dollars can still be taken out. Lead the way, girl. The old decay family has a single lineage, and there is only one grandson under his knees, and this house is decaying! "Let's talk about it, and the tiger and tiger left, leaving only the people behind him looking at each other.

"Futai-sama also lives here......"

"Oh my God, isn't this the same as being a neighbor with Lord Futai?! Who is Zhu Jiabao and Zhu Futai? Feudal officials! What if a businessman is rich? Not a peddler?! If you can live next to the people of Futai......" Thinking of this, the scene immediately fell silent. A few more people gritted their teeth and went to pay the money, and the rest were hung there and weighed the pros and cons, and most of them also gritted their teeth - they bought it! Isn't it an installment payment? Half of the labor and management will be paid first, and the rest will have to wait for the end of the project anyway, which will not take more than a year, and it is estimated that the meeting will also be turned over. What we are buying is not a house, it is the future of our children and grandchildren, and we are buying face! For a while, the so-called upper-class people did not have such a small villa in their hands, and they were embarrassed to greet people.

Soon, the 40 small villas in the first phase of Jinxiu Yuan were sold one after another in a painful situation, and this phase alone brought Hu Rui an advance payment of 3 million silver dollars. In the eyes of people from all walks of life, Hu Rui turned a full bowl and poured a lot, lamenting the accumulation of folk wealth in this era, while Hu Rui was also paying attention to the reactions of those squires and tyrants. At the previous banquet, when Hu Rui proposed this idea, most of these people chose to laugh perfunctorily, and now? Hu Rui smiled sympathetically.

"Labor and management don't believe it, and the silver dollars of white flowers will not teach you to recognize the situation!" Someone said viciously in his heart.

After much waiting, the squires who had hesitated before finally recognized the situation in front of the silver dollar in vain. How much is it worth to rent heaven and earth to those tenants?! No one knows better than them how much they can harvest in the fields that they work all year round. Compared to the profit of real estate, it is simply not worth mentioning! Thinking of this, everyone went to Hu Rui's mansion with generous gifts, but this time Hu Rui was not so polite. Holding the purple clay pot and knocking on Erlang's legs, sitting on the Taishi chair and drinking tea, his eyes swept over the squires and tyrants who were respectfully standing in a row below, Hu Rui smiled.

On the other end, Zhu Jiabao, who was sitting in Anqing, patted the telegram sent by Hu Rui with satisfaction, and he really didn't see the wrong person. This time, the performance of the new army showed his face greatly. After the riot broke out, a group of bannermen and officials headed by Jichang, the chief political secretary, immediately stayed out of the matter, gloating and preparing to see him make a fool of himself. What's more, he even came to the door to ask if he needed to ask the eighth town of Wuchang, Hubei Province and the ninth town of Jiangling to bring in support, and the ironic meaning of the words was revealed, and the angry Zhu Jiabao gritted his teeth but had no choice. After that, the new army quickly cut through the chaos and quelled the riots, and this group of banner men who were full of food all day long was tantamount to being beaten to the head, and originally planned to take the opportunity to knock Zhu Jiabao and see if they could squeeze it away. The imperial court issued an edict to praise Zhu Jiabao, praising his outstanding ability and talents, and also rewarded Hu Rui, the commander of the new army, with the courage of Baturu. Hitting a dog doesn't make a fuss, and people don't run and go down, and they are cornered. Jichang, the chief secretary of the government, immediately resigned and asked to return to his hometown. He is staying in Anqing, Zhu Jiabao will definitely not give him good fruits to eat, and he has made enough money over the years.

At this moment, Zhu Jiabao's position is finally completely secured, and the so-called people are in good spirits at happy events, and Zhu Jiabao also smiled and agreed to Hu Rui and Zhu Jiabao who came to the door. To have such a house, where to go to live in your spare time, and to enjoy tea and poetry under the moon before flowers, why not do it? As for Hu Rui's use of his own name to create momentum, Zhu Jiabao also laughed at it. If you want the horse to run fast and don't want to feed the forage, how can there be such a haode thing on shijie. At present, the new army has just taken shape, and there are many places where money is needed, not to mention that the cost of equipment and training alone is an astronomical amount a year. Zhu Jiabao understood that relying solely on the money of the five counties such as Dangtu could not support the expenses of the new army, so he resigned himself to this method of opening up sources and reducing expenditure. At present, he is very satisfied with the achievements of the new army, and the previous money is worth it. Recalling the situation when he first took office, Zhu Jiabao couldn't help but smoke. The former Futai Feng Xu left a mess, and the treasury of the government was empty enough to run mice. The 10 patrol battalions in Anqing, the provincial capital, on paper, even if they are small battalions of more than 300 people, have more than 3,000 people. But in fact, there are only less than 2,000 old and weak soldiers, and the empty salary is outrageous, and the equipment is even more indifferent, not even Hanyang, and is still using singles. Xiong Chengji's army of less than 1,000 people attacked Anqing City, and called on the 57 mountain artillery of Hubei to bombard the city wall, and the shells fired were either duds that did not explode or did not hit. The city wall was intact, and this group of guys immediately weakened their legs when they heard the sound of cannons, and if they hadn't been in the city, they probably would have run away early.

Hate is hate, but the rules in the officialdom still have to be followed, Zhu Jiabao can only pinch his nose and admit it, and obediently wipe his predecessor Feng Xu's buttocks. As for the 10 patrol battalions left by Feng Xu in Anqing, Zhu Jiabao was not in a hurry to move, Feng Xu had a lot of local officials when he was on the people, and the pipes of these 10 patrol battalions were all the immediate family members of the officials below. Things in officialdom are intertwined, and the king of Hades is easy to fight and difficult to deal with, and he can't move easily. People are old and sophisticated, Zhu Jiabao directly listened to the salary of the patrol battalion, and if you don't catch it, see how long you can stay here! Anyway, he was holding the card of Hu Rui in his hand, a mixed association plus 14 patrol battalions was almost a town's soldiers and horses, both in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, far surpassing the old, weak, sick and disabled of these 10 battalions. It's just that Anqing's parents are suffering, and they are urged by a group of direct boasters to pay money every day, and they can't say anything about their suffering, so they can only hide.

"My lord, the centigold has been escorted into the warehouse."

"Okay, you go and send a telegram to Xiaolian and ask him to bring someone to Anqing to receive the silver." Zhu Jiabao continued to taste the cup of flower tea in his hand without raising his head. Every time the gold arrived, Zhu Jiabao would notify Hu Rui to lead his troops to escort the silver, which was a common rule. After receiving the order, the people below did not dare to slack off, saluted and hurriedly turned around and left.
