Xiangfu Street, Xu's house, Keimachiin

Mother Xu flipped through the few dozen silver dollars left in the wooden box, her face was full of sorrow, but she was reluctant to blame her son, so she could only look at her only daughter and whispered:

"Mijuan, you're sixteen this year.

Or my mother will tell you a husband's house. ”

Even if Mother Xu hadn't mentioned anything yet, Xu Mijuan instantly understood what she meant, and immediately stood up angrily and objected loudly:

"No, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you want to tell me that your husband's family is okay, what about my dowry, I don't expect my dowry to be as much as my ex-sister-in-law, but what about half?

I don't think you're trying to help me talk about my husband's family.

You're trying to sell me for money.

Is it used for the big brother in exchange for the dowry?

Oh, what an innocent reader!

What an innocent international student! ”

After speaking, Xu Mijuan didn't wait to look at her mother's face, turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

For a moment, Mother Xu's face was ugly.

There is a kind of embarrassment of being pierced in the heart.

"Mother, don't talk about this again.

There are many women in their twenties who are married abroad, there is no need for honey to be so early, I still have some silver dollars here, you can use them first, now I can get forty or fifty silver dollars every month for newspapers and periodicals, although it is not much, but it is barely enough.

You don't have to.

The most hateful thing is that the Liu family, who didn't give any face, even demolished so many things in my house, and even robbed my shop.

It's really hateful.

The county government here is too, I went to report the case, they didn't care, the collusion between officials and businessmen is really hateful. ”

Xu Huizhou is the kind of person who believes whatever his mother says, his mother said that his family originally had some real estate deeds left, he really thought that their family had some left, but they were all snatched away by the Liu family when they moved the dowry before, and they were embarrassed to go to the police station to report the case, isn't it ridiculous?

But actually.

When Liu Anping married into their Xu Mansion in the first year, he never touched his family's stewardship at all.

Because Mother Xu won't let go.

When did you get the stewardship?

The day after Xu's father died, Liu Anping got the empty housekeeper, and even had the right to manage the debt, and at that time, in the treasury of their Xu family, there was not even a silver dollar to prepare for Xu's father's funeral.

It's a coffin, and it has to be prepared more than ten years ago, otherwise Mother Xu estimates that she can't even afford a slightly better coffin.

Later, Xu's father's funeral was all done by Liu Anping with his own dowry silver, and after finishing it, Xu's mother still disliked the pomp and circumstance.

It's disgusting.

Mother Xu couldn't help but feel a little weak when she heard her son say this, and her head lowered slightly, but she had to tell this lie, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain the whereabouts of the Xu family's remaining silver assets.

Those silver and assets, a few years ago, even when Xu's father was not dead, she secretly transferred them to her younger brother to help her younger brother pay off his gambling debts.

But any old account can see it.

Fortunately, her son is going to divorce his wife.

The Liu family made those things happen again.

The loophole finally has a place to push.

Even the account book was destroyed by her, and she pushed it on the Liu family by the way, letting them take the blame.

"The Liu family is also called Liu Bancheng, where is what our family can deal with, we can only admit it!

Huizhou, don't toss anymore.

Don't look back, the Liu family will assassinate you again. ”

Mother Xu continued to focus on the eye medicine.

She didn't want to harm her son, she just shook the pot, and she didn't think at all that her son would be killed if she really got on the bar with the Liu family.

"I know that I won't be stupid enough to go to the county government to find someone to help, but this matter must not be left like this, the Liu family has caused me to lose such a big face, and I can't settle down if I don't take revenge.

I want to let them see and understand, what is like a knife, pen and ink to punish the heart, let them see and understand, what is called literati killing people without seeing blood.

Mother, I'm inspired.

Go back first! ”

At this moment, Xu Huizhou felt that his thoughts were suddenly surging, and many new ideas for dealing with the Liu family burst out in his mind, so he hurriedly told his mother, and then quickly turned around and went back to the house to pick up the pen, suck the ink, and write.

Write an eloquent essay that punishes the heart.

The heart of the Liu family, the name of the Liu family.

A few days later, some local newspapers published some articles, some story-type articles, although Xu Huizhou wanted to use the article to punish his heart, but he was not bold enough to write in a real way, only dared to write vaguely.

is to write about the Liu family who oppresses the people.

Write about the Liu family of a vicious daughter-in-law.

Transform the affairs of his family with oil and vinegar, change it to someone else's house, and make up a story.

In short, for a literati with a high level of education, making up stories and splashing dirty water is simply simple, not necessarily how good the compilation is, how subtle the splashing, as long as the overall logic is not a big problem, in this world, everyone is still quite in awe of the text, even if it is a blind fabrication of the monster, many people believe it is true.

Not to mention the ordinary things in the parents.

This is normal.

Not to mention now, even decades later, or even a hundred years later, some people watch the TV series of the vicious mother-in-law and the poor daughter-in-law scolding, and some people watch martial arts and fantasize about becoming a hero.

Soon, there were a lot of voices scolding the Liu family on the market, of course, the ordinary people were obviously not scolding Qiao Mu's Liu family, they were scolding the Liu family written in the article, although this did not have much impact on their family, but Qiao Mu looked at those articles, and listened to the rumors outside, there was still a feeling of nausea after eating flies.

At this time, her granddaughter Liu Anping has not yet officially become a talent, and she is still at the level of laying the foundation, whether it is literary literacy or scientific and technological literacy, she is not very good, so Qiao Mu did not bother her, and she ended up in person.

Just kidding, engage in a public opinion war with her.

Whoever compares with her is a younger brother.

Not to mention that she has manipulated national public opinion many times in ancient times, even in modern society, she has also manipulated countless entertainment headlines, what shocking body, I have to look at the body, and I don't understand what routines.

Soon, it was less than two days' work.

At a speed of 2,000 per hour, Qiao Mu quickly rushed to more than 20 short stories that were very close to the various situations within the Xu family, and he could associate them with the situation of their family with a little association, and then sent these short stories to the circulation department of local newspapers and magazines as quickly as possible, so that they could publish them quickly.

As a result, the local people blossomed.

In the next few months, they had a lot of interesting stories to see, and by the way, they also ate a full stomach of melons, almost didn't eat anymore, and every day they were free, and they didn't talk about Zhang's family, Li Jia's short, they all talked about the newly published stories.

Even some of the earlier newspaper stories were cut out and sent to friends in other surrounding cities to feast their eyes.

For a time, local newspapers and periodicals that could only be distributed locally had a tendency to go out of the local area and spread to other regions, and the circulation expanded several times, from only a few hundred copies to several thousand copies, an expansion of more than ten times, and the boss was almost happy.

However, this kind of thing that made newspaper owners happy and people happy did not last long.

A few months later, Xu Huizhou discovered the Liu family's coping methods, coupled with the fact that his writing speed was far less fast than Qiao Mu's, and the stories he wrote were far less exciting and interesting than Qiao Mu's stories, so in the end, after hesitating for a long time, he still decided to leave Qi'an City.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Xu Huizhou felt that if he continued to stay here, he would most likely be suppressed by the Liu family, and it would be difficult for him to have any chance of getting ahead, and he alone was not the opponent of the Liu family, who had many gunmen, so he decided to leave here first.

Stay away from here for the time being, go to places beyond the reach of the Liu family's forces, go to a bigger city for development, and wait until you have enough fame and ability to kill the Liu family with a pen.

Because of these considerations and conjectures, Xu Huizhou spent nearly a month trying to persuade his mother to sell the ancestral house and move out of here, although his mother was a little reluctant, but she did look forward to the situation in the big city, and it was a little unbearable to live a life of guarding the big mansion now, so she finally agreed to his suggestion and sold the Xu family's ancestral home and the remaining assets.

More than 30,000 silver dollars were sold.

The family moved to Huhai City.

For their family to move away this kind of thing.

Arbor really can't help it.

Because the strength of their Liu family is not very large, it can only be said that there are some forces in this small area, but out of this small area.

Nobody really cares.

Moreover, at this time, the domestic situation was relatively chaotic, and the president couldn't even understand his own area, let alone all parts of the country.

In short, many places are now in the stage of self-government, and although there is no major struggle between the warlords, they are currently in a stalemate with each other not coercing each other and not obeying each other's orders.

Therefore, Qiao Mu can only put aside the affairs of the Xu family for the time being, and start to mention his granddaughter side by side, so that his granddaughter can get some small technologies that are not bad and can make money from the sub-page of the black technology system, so that it can not only develop the power of the Liu family, but also increase her status in the Liu family.

It's a win-win-win-win

As for how to knock on the side.

On the third day after Liu Anping officially accepted the system, he also told Qiao Mu through a more obscure metaphor that she was valued by a hermit master, who would secretly come to her yard every day to teach him knowledge.

Therefore, even if the family doesn't know that she has a system, they all know that she is learning from the masters, and Qiao Mu naturally knows better.

The so-called side knock side hit.

It's just an alternative metaphor.

Liu Anping was not stupid, he immediately understood the deep meaning of Qiao Mu, and then spent three days sorting out his harvest, writing a complete set of secret recipes for the production of soap and soap, glass matches, bicycles and other things, and handed it over to Qiao Mu the next day, so that Qiao Mu could be transferred to her three elder brothers, so as to develop and expand the power of the Liu family.

Qiao Mu found the three brothers of the Liu family on the day he got those things, split the recipes in his hands, and divided them equally among the three of them according to their respective personalities and the focus of the workshops they mastered, and also said that these things were given to them by their sister, so that after they relied on these recipes to get some benefits, don't forget to give their sister a share of one or two percent.

So far, everyone is happy.

The Liu family has also entered a period of rapid development.

What kind of soap factory, soap factory, match factory, glass factory, cement factory and so on.

Opened one after another.

The power has rapidly expanded from the original small city to the surrounding area, and it has a great reputation in the province, and the wealth is rich.

Although there is still a gap between Liu Ban and the province.

But it also squeezed into the provincial high-level.

At the same time, Liu Anping also continued to provide some new, low-tech, and easy-to-use technologies in a timely manner according to the development of their family, so as to increase their family's physical business.

waited until the twelfth year of the Republic of China.

The number and types of physical factories in the hands of their Liu family can already be used to form a set of low-level civilization systems that are not particularly perfect and lack the primary foundation of the military industrial system.

What is a system of primary and low-level civilizations?

That is, this set of basic and low-level civilization systems can be moved to any remote corner.

It is enough to build a complete basic industrial modern civilization in a very short period of time.

It can be said that as long as they make up for the shortcomings of the military industrial system, then they can easily build a country wherever they occupy.

However, the development of their family has also been coveted by many people, especially some warlords, if it were not for the Liu family in time to take refuge in the warlord close to their province, and gave all the three parts of the industry, it is estimated that their family would have been completely divided by the rest of the warlords.

……

Liu Jiawan and Beizhuang, inside the underground secret room

Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu's sister-in-law Liu Jinhai, the three brothers of the Liu family and Liu Anping were sitting at the only table in the secret room and discussing in a whisper.

"Grandma, father, brother.

We can't wait any longer, we have to build our own military factories and build our own private army, Zhang Dashuai's appetite is now getting bigger and bigger, and yesterday he even directly asked us to give him 3 million silver dollars to help him train the new army.

Let him continue like this.

The funds for the expansion of the factory are gone. ”

Although Liu Anping has not taken much care of family affairs over the years, she still knows the current affairs very well, and she has also received six years of scientific and technological and cultural education that transcends the times, so she is not worse than others in her views on many things, and even more sensitive than some people.

"Of course I know that.

But as you can see, we are now discussing these things in the secret room of Bezhuang.

Although it can't be said that Zhang Dashuai's spies are everywhere in the house now, there are definitely a lot of them, and there are even some factories in them.

Except for the secret agent of Zhang Dashuai's family.

There are also many spies of other warlords.

If it weren't for these secret agents, I would have started to develop the military industry a few years ago, but you haven't seen the example of the Li family, what happened to their family after they developed a number of military industries, and the military industry that his family had just developed was directly taken away by the warlord he was attached to.

If our family is to develop.

I guess it's not much better. ”

How could Liu Jinhai not know that only by developing the military industry and forming his own army can he completely get rid of the exploitation of the warlords, but isn't the key that their family is now being monitored and cannot develop at all?

"If our family continues to hold back.

Turning back to the Wang family is also our precedent!

When the Wang family was attached to He Dashuai, the development momentum was indeed very fierce, but after He Dashuai suffered several defeats and began to train the new army.

Their Wang family's liquidity was basically drained by that He Dashuai, and later the industry continued to shrink, and now it has been completely bankrupted by He Dashuai, and the family's assets have also been taken over by He Dashuai to train the new army.

Zhang Dashuai has now also begun to train the new army.

This training of the new army is a bottomless pit, this time with us three million silver dollars, next time maybe five million, six million, ten million, we don't know, how black the hearts of those gringos are, guns that cost less than ten silver dollars can sell us for 100 silver dollars, more than ten times the profit up.

No matter how much money we make, we won't be able to make huge profits. ”

Liu Renming didn't know how dangerous it was to carry Zhang Dashuai behind his back to do the military industrial system at this time, but now it is death to do it, and it is death if he doesn't do it.

Why not give it a try?

What if you can get rid of it?

Just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then.

Death is death now, and death is death for big plans.

Waiting for death, what about the dead country?

Qiao Mu had been quietly listening to their arguments on the sidelines, watching them discuss how to do it, so that he could get rid of the inquiry of those spies as much as possible.

As a result, I listened to it for a long time.

I haven't heard a solid suggestion either.

I couldn't help but knock on the table and said:

"Why aren't you stupid to death?

Do you have to build your military factories in the country? Does your army have to train at home? Now that the world is full of wars, where can I find people who want to be soldiers in order to have enough to eat.

There are so many islands in the South Seas.

So many small countries.

You have to defend this acre and three points of land in your home to the death, and you won't move your nest, right?

Let people bring a batch of money, and then bring a batch of people.

Let's just go to Nanyang to expand business.

When you arrive, you will buy weapons and equipment first, and then rent land to build a factory after you have equipment, such a simple thing, you have to force it for so long?

Let's just say that my plan is not feasible. ”

People's thinking has limitations, just like engraving printing, everyone knows that seals can be printed, but no one thinks of using seals for printing, this layer of paper is indeed broken when stabbed, but what is missing is the person who goes to stab.

None of the fathers, sons, brothers and sisters of the Liu family have ever gone abroad, and they have never thought of going abroad, and factory expansion is carried out in China, so there is no concept of developing abroad at all.

Now this layer of paper has been pierced by arbors.

They were all stunned.

Indeed, although the domestic warlord forces are not small, those warlords can only do things within their own sphere of influence, and they can't even directly intervene in other domestic regions within their own scope, not to mention foreign regions, not to mention wars, what about those foreign regions in Nanyang where the current situation is very chaotic?

"Oh my God, why didn't I think of that?"

The paper was pierced, and the three brothers of the Liu family first annoyed why they didn't think of this, why didn't they think of it so simple, and then they began to shoot Qiao Mu's rainbow fart, that is, for example, there is an old man in the family, such as a rainbow fart such as a treasure.

"Grandma, this matter is very important, but it is very dangerous over there in Nanyang, who should I send?"

After the method is figured out.

Again, the specific person has become a problem.

The fact of the military factory is too important, even if they send their cronies over, they feel distrustful, and they are afraid of turning back and turning against each other or something.

The barrel of the gun still has to be held in his own hands.

But if they let their relatives go over to preside, they feel that it is very dangerous, after all, the situation in Nanyang is indeed not very good, all kinds of small warlords are constantly fighting, plus the local natives hate outsiders, etc., in short, it may be slightly more dangerous than in China today.

"I'll go, don't worry, I'll go.

At present, these factories in the family are basically run by your three brothers, and the three of you are very eye-catching no matter who goes abroad, but I have not had a sense of presence in recent years, so I have been the best and least obtrusive in the past, and my cronies are all old people in the family, enough to be trusted to ensure that there are no personal agents of warlords.

None of you can compare to me in this regard.

So I'll go for it.

Don't let me go.

You can't let your sister.

Or let my mother go.

There's no need to negotiate, it's settled. ”

After discussing for a long time, Liu Jinhai finally decided to let him go, although it was a happy thing for his three sons to come out, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

There is a feeling that I am inferior to others.

Although it is not as good as his own son.

However, as the front wave that was slapped to death on the beach by the back waves, he still wanted to struggle again.

This is not an opportunity.

The three brothers of Liu Renmin also wanted to persuade their father again, feeling that they could not let their father take risks.

However, Qiao Mu really couldn't get used to the fact that a few of them were fighting over this matter, so he decided to let Liu Jinhai go:

"Okay, don't fight, just let your dad go.

As long as you pay attention, Nanyang is not as dangerous as you think, and Nanyang itself also has a branch of the Liu family, go back and ask your father to take the family tree to the branch of the Liu family to recognize your relatives.

They should also be a little more helpful in the same clan members, and it will always be safer to have a land snake, which is also conducive to future development.

So be it, stop arguing.

We can't stay in this secret room for long, and if we stay for a long time, some people may find it strange, after all, we can't soak in the hot springs for too long, so let's get out quickly.

The matter was settled. ”

Grandma said so, and since there are people from the Liu family branch living there in Nanyang, the danger is limited, so the three brothers of the Liu family were relieved and discussed a few more sentences.

He hurriedly walked out of the secret room passage.

The walls of the room are separated from each other.

Head to the men's and women's baths separately.

As a result, I just soaked in the hot spring for less than two minutes.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Ask them if they're good.

Obviously, this is because someone has found that they have been soaking for too long, both worried about whether they will faint and worried about what they are doing in private.
