mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 106 Lugang Town Policewoman

"Sir, you said that the original capital accumulation is bloody. Then let's let the big powers in China also go through the bloody baptism, and we will invest everywhere after taking the money. When that day comes, we will have enough capital to operate. It's only limited to Lugang Town. I'll plan this matter, and we'll go out for a walk together in the next year..."

The more I listen to Zhao Chuanxin, the more I feel something is wrong.

This person has always been very timid, and he is submissive.

Why did you feel like a different person after listening to your own words?

Am I telling you this so that you can arrange a job for me?
Zhao Chuanxin felt very bad.

But after Li Guangzong finished speaking, he went back to his room excitedly.

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head: "Crazy!"

Liu Baogui's marriage was just a small disturbance in Lugang Town, and it passed quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin started to lead a group of snot-nosed babies to make ice lanterns and slides.

It's just that the number of children this time is much more than before.

Zhao Chuanxin, who is passionate about everything for 3 minutes, insisted on finishing the two slides, and said, "Let's line up and play, don't fight."

It's just that this time the location is not in front of the house. The slides and ice lanterns are placed on the pedestrian street that has not yet been built.

In a blink of an eye, it's time to buy new year's goods again, but now you don't need to go to the city to buy new year's goods, the shops in Lugang Town are enough.

Chen Daguang told Zhao Chuanxin the news: "Now that Japan and Russia are at war, no other merchant ships on the sea can enter, and Shanhaiguan is controlled by officers and soldiers. Now the only one who can buy goods from outside the customs is Du Lizi. Jin, he shipped a lot of our goods back."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, he didn't expect Du Lisan to be enlightened.

But this kind of trick will fail next year, it depends on how much money Du Lisan can hold during this time.

Taking out a piece of paper, Zhao Chuanxin said: "According to this list, get me something to send to my house, and let the guy go to my house to ask Li Guangzong for the money."

"Got it!"

Chen Daguang had opened his shop in Lugang Town a long time ago, but he didn't expect that there would be great business opportunities here, opening up a new business route for him.

If Li Guangzong was dragged to work in the past, now he is taking the initiative to do the work.

According to him, it is to finish the work ahead of time and prepare for going out next year.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin came by himself for the trivial matter of buying new year's goods.

After finishing the New Year's goods, Zhao Chuanxin strolled back with the rice.

Suddenly, a girl riding a horse greeted him.

The girl had a big thick and long braid on the back, and she wore a cotton jacket, and inside was a dark blue uniform, vest and shirt.Below are woolen trousers and riding boots.

There is also a bronze medal pinned to the chest, and a red deer is painted on the medal.

This is the police badge of Lugang Township.

This girl looks heroic in a uniform, but the padded jacket is replaced by a down jacket, which is perfect.

"Ah, hello."

Zhao Chuanxin greeted casually.

"Captain Zhao forgot about me?"

"Ah? Are you the new policeman?"

Liu Jiahui was speechless.

At the beginning, it was Zhao Chuanxin who asked her to come to Lugang Town to apply for a police officer.

She had never heard of any dynasty that allowed women to serve as soldiers, although civilian police were not soldiers.When other townspeople saw her, they would cast curious eyes on her.After all, no one has seen female officers and soldiers.But Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to be surprised at all.

That day, Liu Jiahui left Steward Niu's house and came to Lugang Town.

The Escort's business is worsening day by day, and it is already on the verge of dissolution.

When Steward Niu is caught, the mission will be over.

Liu Jiahui came to Lugang Town to try her luck.

Unexpectedly, they hired her directly as a policeman.

Although the police also carry guns, they usually accuse them of not beating and killing, but mostly dealing with disputes in Lugang Township.For example, if two families fight because the repair of the fence hinders others, if they call the police, she will rush to deal with it.

This kind of civil dispute, as long as she is present, basically there will be no danger.

For example, if a man beats his wife, if the daughter-in-law really reports the crime, she will also come forward to deal with it.

She doesn't think these things are bullshit, it's much better than running around or guarding the home of a big family like a dog.

Not only is the salary paid on time on a monthly basis, but I heard that there are also year-end bonuses and benefits after the New Year.

Although she still doesn't know what happened to these two things.

No, I ran into Zhao Chuanxin and thought about saying hello to him.

As a result, Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have forgotten her.

"My name is Liu Jiahui, I was at Steward Niu's house that day..."

"Oh!" Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized: "I went to Niu Steward's house that day. Are you a commoner who is watching the fun outside?"

Liu Jiahui: "..."

Just say that if you are angry or not, it's over!

You praised me that day: what a dragon wagging its tail.

Why did you forget it in a few days?
After staying for a while, just as she was about to speak, a commoner came to her: "This female police officer, there is a fight over there..."

Liu Jiahui also ignored Zhao Chuanxin, and turned her horse's head: "You take me there."

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin was quite curious, so he trotted over to watch the excitement.

It turned out that the two families started working because of snow removal.

Zhao Chuanxin never sweeps the snow, and usually does not encounter this kind of thing, so he is even more curious.

It turned out that one family piled snow not far from the door of another house, but the other house was unwilling, so the two sides quarreled and started fighting.

Liu Jiahui also has a gun, not the Mosin Nagant rifle armed by the regular security team, but the local Hanyang rifle that Zhao Chuanxin and the others seized.Don't underestimate this imitation rifle, such a rifle can be sold for a high price of 50-70 taels of silver.

That's not petty money.

Liu Jiahui drew the gun from the holster, but only carried it behind her back.

The civilian police also have training tasks, and the number of live ammunition training is higher than that of the militia, three times a month.

Therefore, Liu Jiahui will shoot.

She stepped forward with a gun on her back, and after hearing what had happened, she took out a notebook: "According to the town regulations of Lugang Township, every house that sweeps snow must be cleared out, and it is not allowed to pile up on the side of the road to hinder vehicles and passers-by. As long as the Once Xueqing leaves, the matter will be settled, so what is there to fight?"

"Why should I listen to you, a woman?"

The man who piled snow said unconvinced.

Liu Jiahui was unmoved. It was obviously not the first time she heard such sexist words: "According to Article 2 of the Lugang Township Regulations, those who violate the rules and refuse to obey orders can be detained for three to five days. Those who resist can be detained." Kill on the spot!"

After finishing speaking, he raised the gun on his back, facing the ground, but the meaning was already obvious: Don't force me!

When the man saw the gun, he faltered immediately: "Okay, I'll clean it up now!"

Liu Jiahui put the gun back on her back: "I'll just watch you clean it up here."

The man borrowed a wheelbarrow from another neighbor and started loading snow on it.

There is no dedicated cleaner in Lugang Town, so I can't afford to hire them.

The current number of shops is still not enough, and the commercial tax collected, no, the insurance premium is not even enough to support the expenses of the security station, and Zhao Chuanxin has to subsidize it out of his own pocket.

Maybe it will be stronger next year, and maybe there will be a surplus gradually.

Therefore, as long as it is on the roadside, every household has the responsibility and obligation to clear the snow in front of the door and on the road.

Of course, you only need to clean the area in front of your home.

Even so, it also greatly improved the road conditions in Lugang Town.

Merchants prefer the roads in Lugang Town to the city.

According to Zhao Chuanxin's vision, he planned to lay a gravel road while the road intersecting the town is not too long.Instead of paving stone slabs horizontally, stone strips with an aspect ratio of 1:5 or even longer should be used to pave vertically, and the gaps should be filled with burnt clay.

This kind of road is called a nail and gravel road in Europe, and there is no problem at all when tanks press it over.It may not be suitable for high-speed driving of cars, but it is a boon for horse-drawn carts and ox carts.

This kind of road cannot be paved too much, otherwise it may affect the planning of future roads.But just this point in the town may become a very unique scenery in the future.

No matter how many fashionable gadgets Zhao Chuanxin designs, it is not as fulfilling as personally planning a town with his brand.

Isn't it just spending money, hehe, if you don't have it, go grab it.

As Li Guangzong said, let the capitalists of the big powers also feel the blood of accumulating primitive funds!
