The revolutionary army rushed into the ancestral hall and let them go, which was too unnoticed to pay attention to their Huang family. The head of the Huang clan finally jumped out, and the long beard of the flowers trembled slightly. The dry old man grabbed the crutch made of Luohan bamboo and poked the floor tiles hard to show his authority. He roared, "You are a revolutionary army. You are simply a bandit who has no king. What's the difference from the long hair in those years? Your three major disciplines and eight items are singing well? Li thought, you are a Qiu Ba, don't be proud. I'm going to the Wuchang Advisory Bureau to tell you to disturb the people. If I don't take off your top of flowers, my surname will not be Huang.

Mr. Huang has studied the four books and five classics all his life, and has always flattered Wen Guiwu. In his opinion, it is not a trivial matter for Wuchang Xiaochao Court, Tang Hualong, Huang Zhongyu and others who want to cut off Li Xiang's military power. These days, he has seen a lot of arrogant young people like Li Xiang, but the only one who can be arrogant to the end in Anlu County is the Huang family.

It's just a big words and intimidation by the patriarch Huang. In the ears of the revolutionary soldiers, it was the biggest joke at the beginning of this century. Everyone knows that the order of the military government of the Wuchang Consultation Bureau can't get out of Wuchang City, let alone the branch of the Hankou Military Government, let alone restrain Marshal Li. The revolutionary soldiers present burst into laughter.

A group of elders were laughed at inexplicably by them. They only felt that what the patriarch said was righteous and domineering, and there was nothing wrong with it. Even if they had an entanglement with the county magistrate and the adults in the patrol camp, as long as the old patriarch brought out a paragraph, they had to be honest and soft. This is a local rule. If you want the place to cooperate with the top, the top must first cater to the place. The centralization of the Qing Dynasty became weaker and weaker since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the local authority naturally became heavier and heavier, which raised their leopard courage.

"What are you laughing at? Go out, go out." Li thought was also funny for a while. The pedantic of the patriarch Huang is really not comparable to ordinary people. If you want to sue, you can sue. You don't need to say hello to me. You can go to the Wuchang Consultation Bureau to sue me, go to Beijing to find the regent, and find the Xuantong Emperor to sue the emperor. This is the freedom and power you deserve. Our revolutionary military government will never interfere. The concept of our revolution is that everyone is equal, that is, democracy and republic, and we revolutionaries will not bully others. In the eyes of our revolutionaries, even the Xuantong emperor Puyi and his father regent Zaifeng, those princes and nobles also enjoy equal rights and obligations with the beggars on the roadside.

Li wanted to call the name of Emperor Xuantong like this, and the villagers outside the courtyard exclaimed. How is this possible? How can they be equal to their old boss? How can it be equal to the old patriarch standing in Anrong Hall? How can he be equal to the powerful county magistrate in the county government? How can he be equal to the true son of the Forbidden City? It is impossible for them to replace the paste in their minds. The revolutionary army's rebellion is not to be emperor, but for what?

When the patriarch Huang saw the chaos outside, his face was blue, and the three principles and five were always in chaos. The arhat bamboo crutches in his hand poked the floor green bricks desperately and made a thumping sound. He wanted to suppress the excited hearts of the people outside with this common trick, but this time it failed, and the hearts of the people were in chaos. He stretched out a thin index finger with an extremely excited expression, pointed to Li Xiang, and hurriedly roared, "You are talking nonsense here, confusing the crowd, and your mouth is full of rebellious words. You said that you didn't bully people by revolution, but forcibly released the prisoners we captured.

The old patriarch of the Huang family didn't say anything, his spirit had been stimulated, and he was a little unsteady to stand on crutches. A young man quickly came forward to hold him and shouted, "Dad!"

Li Xiang smiled and walked back and forth in the courtyard, shaking his head. As he walked, he said, "Old man, you are not young, don't show off. It's better to give up the position of patriarch. If you continue to be so confused, it's not good to implict the Huang family.

Elder Huang excitedly shook off his son's help. The old man glared at Li and thought, "It's not your turn to talk too much about our family's affairs."

Li wanted to take a slant look at the old man Huang and deliberately dragged the spurs on the heel of the boots on the paved green bricks, making a sour noise. He ignored the old man Huang and continued to say, "Also, Anlu County has been restored and belongs to the district of the Hankou Revolutionary Military Government. Our Hankou military government prohibits lynching. You have illegally detained and lynched several of my soldiers and students. You have constituted a crime."

"You, you, you..." The old patriarch of the Huang family shivered at you for a long time, and he couldn't squeeze out the second half of the words. A group of old people behind him glanced at the Maxim light machine gun set up outside the triple door, and closed their mouths and dared not help. Now Li Xiang is still just convicting the old patriarch of the Huang family. If they dare to intervene, this charge will definitely be put on them.

It was the son of Mr. Huang's son who quickly helped his shaky father and said to Li Xiang, "Marshal Li, we are indeed wrong about several soldiers and students. We are willing to compensate for the medical expenses, and I am also willing to apologize to them in person on behalf of my father. My father is so old, I will ask you to be gratitude. If you insist on handling it impartially, I am willing to suffer for my father.

"What's my sin? It's those Qiu Ba and the students who have bad rules of my clan first. It's reasonable for me to go there to comment. The old patriarch of the Huang family pulled his son desperately to prevent him from talking. Who has the Huang family been soft to? If this is going to spread, can the Huang family still gain a foothold in Anlu? He can't take the position of patriarch again.

What a filial son, but it is impossible to move Li Xiang. He came here with a purpose and a plan. But this filial heart moved Lin Tiechang, who had just experienced the pain of losing his father. He whispered to Li, "Marshal, or the Internet cafe?" I can't stand it anymore."

Li Xiang nodded to Lin Tiechang. The father-son friendship touched his new wound, and the leader should also take care of his younger brother's mood. Anyway, there are already people who are soft, so let's go to the Internet cafe.

Li wanted to look at Mr. Huang's filial son and asked, "What's your name?"

"back to the general, Huang Guangzhong." He didn't answer until he was very formal.

Li Xiang then asked, "You are wrong, but where is it?"

"I'm also a revolutionary, a member of the Alliance Branch of the Communist Progressive Association." Huang Guangzhong said and took off the melon skin hat on his head and exposed a Luohan head. The oily braid was sewn in the hat.

His father, Huang's elder patriarch's wide eyes almost fell to the ground. He danced the crutches in his hand and knocked on his arhats's head and cursed, "You are an unfilial son!"

Huang Guangzhong's neck shrank and dodged, and several elders quickly came forward to pull the old patriarch of the Huang family away. Looking at Li Xiang's posture, they were willing to negotiate with Huang Guangzhong. Don't let his father mess up, which is directly related to their vital interests.

Huang Guangzhong threw the fake braided melon skin hat aside and continued, "Although your world's explanation of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three democratic [righteousness] is different from the explanation of our alliance, the purpose is the same, in order to overthrow the Qing government and restore the Chinese people. Ethnic group. Therefore, although I don't agree with the policy of the world, I will not resist it. It is your power to implement the policy of the World Association in the governance area of the World Association, and I have no right to intervene. Today, my father's policy of openly opposing the revolutionary military government in Hankou is his fault.

Li Xiang's heart was bright. The explanations of the differences between the Communist dong and the national dang on the three democracies [righteous] have been debated until the 21st century, but there has been no result. Huang Guangzhong did not agree with his interpretation of the three democracies [righteousness], which is purely a normal reaction thinking of capitalist revolutionaries, because Li Xiang's explanation has the most obvious red mark.

Li wanted to say, "I will let you know that the most correct explanation of the three democrats [righteousness] in the world."

"I'm waiting for this day to come." Huang Guangzhong replied politely. In his heart, he secretly scolded that General Li, who had the dog skin plaster on his forehead, was really bold. He didn't know the self-confidence he came from there and dared to be the enemy of the big landlords all over the world.

Li Xiang muttered in his heart that the boy was insincere, but he smiled and said, "In the face of the law of equality for everyone, it is not allowed for others to suffer."

The smiling face in the yellow light suddenly froze, and he was really a difficult villain. "Darge, if you have any requirements, just put forward them. As long as it's not too excessive and it's still reasonable, our Huang family will definitely do it."

Li Xiang said proudly, "Today, some of my students came to publicize the rent reduction on February 5th, and I'll just talk nonsense here. If the rent is reduced, it can be tax-free, and if it is not reduced, it cannot be exempted. The choice lies with you, and I won't force it. But I suggest reducing rent. I believe that only by reducing rent and interest rates can we improve production and pay rent and interest can be guaranteed. After tax exemption, your net profit will not decrease, but will only increase.

In Huang Guangzhong, a group of elders behind him were full of calculations, and they couldn't figure out where the added value of net profit was. After that, he scolded in his heart that we are all brain-damaged, and we will believe you if we talk nonsense like this.

Li wants to walk leisurely in the courtyard and continue to talk. With the establishment of the Anlu County People's Government, we will vigorously develop the industrial economy in Anlu County and strive for the people to live a well-off life as soon as possible, which requires the strong support of the gentry. First of all, I will integrate the glazed tile workshop in this county, and the government will fund the establishment of the glazed tile factory. In addition, for the resources of the county, the government will also invest in the construction of grain and oil machinery processing plants, yarn mills, etc. It is not the government's own efforts to build the county's industry to benefit the countryside. Therefore, I hope that all the squires can actively participate in the shares.

Li wanted to talk about building an industry. Huang Guangzhong's eyes were shining and responded positively, "I can assure the general that our Huang family can definitely play a leading role in Anlu County."

"I'm afraid you don't speak enough." Li wants to express serious doubts about Huang Guangzhong's big words, which is absolutely well-founded. The Huang family also has the whole Huang clan. The person in charge is not him, but the old man who trembles slightly behind him.

"How can you believe it?" Huang Guangzhong asked unconvincedly. He was looked down upon and felt uncomfortable.

Li wanted to stop, stared at him and said word by word, "You are the patriarch of Huang's Anrong Hall."

Li wanted to replace the patriarch of Huang's Anrong Hall, and several elders finally couldn't help jumping and said, "You are too domineering. Even my Huang family's internal affairs have to intervene." Who will be our patriarch? Even if the long live master comes, he can't control it.

In the yellow light, he lowered his head quietly and saw that he had already moved. Li wanted to laugh, interrupted the excited elders and said, "I didn't mean to interfere in the internal affairs of your clan. I'm a very democratic person. It's wrong to say that I'm domineering."

Li wanted to say, but his right hand unconsciously patted the Bo Langning revolver hanging around his waist. These elders, who wanted to argue well, immediately closed their mouths. The two people's skins were harder than the muzzle of the gun.

Li wanted to close his mouth honestly and continued, "I declare that the patriarch of the local clan shall be elected by his own clan, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

After Li wanted to say this, several elders were relieved. Marshal Li was really democratic.

Li Xiang continued: "All newly elected patriarchs must be reported to the official, and the appointment must be officially authorized to take effect. The patriarch who is not officially authorized will not admit it.

When several elders heard this, their hearts fell down. What's the difference between this and the official direct appointment?

"I am now nominating Huang Guangzhong as a candidate patriarch. You choose slowly, and I'm satisfied with the result, and you can leave. Li Xiang was proud. He turned around and shouted to Song Que, "C Close the door of the ancestral hall for me, and open the door after selecting the result."

Song Que shouted that the revolutionary soldiers closed the two huge jujube red gates, and he guarded behind the door with his hands crossed.

In just one hour, five anonymous votes finally pushed Huang Guangzhong to the position of patriarch of Huang's Anrongtang. The group of elders were also exhausted. After lunch time, several old people were dizzy with hunger.

The outside of the ancestral hall is surrounded by three floors, and the villagers on the outer three floors are also very patient. They don't eat lunch and wait for a result. The work in the field was also stopped, and several supervisors could not control it. They all squatted in the corner outside the ancestral hall and were imprisoned by the revolutionary soldiers. They don't dare to ask for equal power for everyone like Li Xiang. They can be equal with the patriarch, with the county magistrate, and with the valiant master. As long as they don't become a ox and a horse, they can be a standing person, Amitabha. They don't ask the government to exempt them from taxes on labor, but only ask Amitabha to be able to reduce rent by 25; they don't All the Lanzhou pancakes drawn by those students are required to be cashed, as long as they can cash one or two pieces, Amitabha Buddha.

The door of the ancestral hall opened with thousands of pairs of eyes. Li Xiang and Huang Guangzhong were friendly like friends from the mountain, and walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall happily. All the villagers cheered, which indicates that some of their interests have been implemented.

Li Xiang waved his hand and said loudly, "I declare that Huang Guangzhong is the patriarch of Huang's Anrongtang. On behalf of the Hankou Revolutionary Military Government, I would like to express my warm congratulations and appoint Huang Guangzhong as the first county magistrate of the Republic of Anlu County with the authority of the highest officer of the Hankou Revolutionary Military Government. Now I would like to invite the mayor of Huang County to speak.

Huang Guangzhong also learned from Li Xiang and waved his hand to be quiet underneath. After the villagers' excitement calmed down a little, Huang Guangzhong said, "Thank you for your kindness, and also thank Marshal Li for your trust in me. I hereby accept from my fellow villagers that I will definitely implement the rent reduction and exemption policy on February 5th. In addition, the government is preparing to vigorously develop industry and set up factories in Anlu. It is necessary to recruit a large number of migrant workers. It is hoped that families with surplus labor force will actively sign up. The policy of benefiting the people announced by the government today is expected to be publicized by your fellow villagers.

The hearts of the people boiled in an instant. The Lanzhou pancakes painted by several students have been personally accepted by the head of the Huang clan, the largest clan in Anlu County, which makes them believe that it is true, not daydreaming. At this moment, Li Xiang had to admit that in the hearts of local rural farmers, what he said with the black muzzle of the gun was not as useful as the two people of the local patriarch.

Looking at the boiling hearts of the people, at this moment, Huang Guangzhong's heart seems to have a vague understanding that Li wants to offend the landlords of all parties and also implement the rent reduction and exemption of the second five times. In this policy that does not seem to get any benefits, he has won the hearts of the masses of the people and sincerely turns to the hearts of his people.

When Li wanted to leave, Huang Guangzhong insisted on giving him a ride. Along the way, Li Xiang inquired about some Anlu specialties like him, so as to give him some ideas to develop Anlu business opportunities with the wisdom of a century beyond this era. Huang Guangzhong only felt that he had benefited a lot. Many ideas have never been heard, and they have never thought of. But as long as we talk about the three democracies [righteousness], the two of them are like quarreling. Huang Guangzhong really can't agree with Li Xiang's distorted explanation.

Immediately Huang Guangzhong said solemnly, "Marshal, although I accept your appointment, I still want to keep my political beliefs. Don't waste your time. I don't believe yours at all. If Mr. Sun Yat-sen were here, he would have been so angry that he would have died. Your reform is too fierce to bleed. I accept your appointment for the sake of the people of Anlu County. With the influence of our family in Anlu, we can reduce the unnecessary bloodshed of many Anlu.

Li Xiang also sighed immediately, "If the Chinese people are as enlightened as you, the Chinese revolution will shed a lot less blood. Brother, I'll tell you the truth. Revolution is about bloodshed. Today, it is my most gentle method for me. You should have heard that since the beginning of the revolution, my brother and I have been bleeding. Today, brother, I brought a murderous intention, and I was ready to step on Ping An Rong Hall. Brother, I am not a murderous person. I remember that Mr. Sun Yat-sen said that if you want to enjoy the happiness of civilization, you must go through the pain of civilization. Brother, I fight and kill just for the early success of the revolution and the people to live a happy and civilized life.

He shook his head in the yellow light, "How did Mr. Sun Yat-sen's words change in your mouth? Although we are all revolutionaries and comrades, we have the same aspirations, but we also have different aspirations.

"We share the same ambition for the people of Anlu and the Chinese people. That's enough. You can do a good job in Anlu. Brother, you are talented, brother, I will never bury you. If I send you thousands of miles, I will finally say goodbye. Go back, brother. Your county magistrate's appointment letter will be delivered to you in three days at the latest. Wait at home. Li wanted to wave his hand and pinched the horse's belly. The war horse hissed, and it pierced like an arrow. The subordinates and guards who fell behind him also followed him.

In the yellow light, the eyes are the vast fields, scattered hills, a few huge sycamore trees that have fallen leaves, low clouds, the clear sky, the sun is warm, the autumn wind is refreshing, and the loess official road, this team of knights are gone.
