Qiaojiabao, Qi County, Shanxi, in order to welcome Qiao Zhiqing's homecoming, Qiao Zhiguang specially repaired the house at home from the inside out.According to his words, his younger brother, although nominally addressed as president, was no different from the emperor.The ancestors of the Qiao family must have accumulated great virtues, and they only came out of heaven in this life.Not only does he have such thoughts, but the popularity of democracy in this era is far from high.The people only know the emperor, where do they know what the president.Anyway, it is Qiao Zhiqing who is sitting in the former palace now, no matter what he calls it, he is the emperor.Originally, the Qiao family still had more than 100 acres of fertile land in Qiaojiabao, but in the past two years, Shanxi had a revolutionary policy of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land".Qiao Yaoguang, as a member of the Huaxing Party in Shanxi Province, was the first to stand up and attack his family, hiding from his father and giving all the family's land to the landless long-term workers, short-term workers, and farmers in the village.Qiao Zhiguang almost died of anger after knowing it, and he was about to break Qiao Yaoguang's leg when he picked up the hoe.But in the end, after learning that this policy was ordered by Qiao Zhiqing, he slowly calmed down his anger.Since the Qiao family began to operate the coal mining business, the assets are compared with the previous small operation of tea, which is the difference between heaven and earth, basically in and out every day, increasing geometrically.Qiao Zhiguang is not short of money for this land, but he feels that these lands have been accumulated by his ancestors with hard work, and they are divided equally, and he will always feel a little uncomfortable.Qiao Zhiqing did not exterminate the landlord class, but only took back the land to the state, and then distributed it equally to the local unemployed vagrants.Other houses, food, antiques, gold and silver are still the private property of individuals and are protected by law.The landlord's family can also divide the land equally according to the population, but the land will not be bought or sold once it is the property of the state.This also avoids the problem of land annexation, and at this stage, only when the peasants have land in their hands will they settle down, and the country can quickly return to stability.Qiao Zhiqing inspected the immigration issue in Gansu this time, and only brought Wei Ziyou with him to deal with official business.He did not go home directly, but got off the bus in Taiyuan to inspect the army building of the Taiyuan Military Region and the urban construction of Taiyuan City.Qiao Yaoguang had just returned from Beijing for less than a month, and after learning the news that Qiao Zhiqing was coming to Taiyuan, he was excited and stayed awake all night.Qiao Zhiqing's trip to Shanxi was also accompanied by Qiao Yaoguang himself.As soon as the presidential train stopped, Qiao Yaoguang and the major commanders of the Taiyuan Military Region came forward.After the guards on the train got off the train first, Qiao Zhiqing showed up from the train.All the officers present saluted with their waists straight, and Qiao Zhiqing returned the salute with a smile and shook hands with each other.The trip was personally escorted by Wang Wu, the leader of the Praetorian Guard of the Presidential Palace, and in order not to attract the attention of others, he and his subordinates all changed into the robes and short coats of the common people.There are hard shell guns pinned to their waists, and each of them is a practitioner carefully selected by Wang Wu.In order to prevent government officials from cheating and inflating their political achievements.Qiao Zhiqing only informed the military people, and did not greet the government officials.After leaving the train station, the generals of the military escorted three empty carriages to go first.Qiao Zhiqing did not take the carriage, but asked Qiao Yaoguang to accompany him, and under the escort of his own soldiers, he took Wei Ziyou to inspect the streets of Taiyuan.Now that all the work of the government has been handed over to the cabinet, Qiao Zhiqing's eyes have always been on the construction of the army.The war has not yet subsided, and the occupied areas of the Huaxing Army are still under military control.None of the feudal officials in charge of the provinces have yet been appointed, and everything is handled by the Military Management Council.However, officials from various cities and counties have already taken up their posts, and these people come from a variety of backgrounds.More of them are students who have just graduated from Huaxing Academy, although they are still a little immature, but they don't know much better than those feudal old stubborns.The mayor of Taiyuan City is also Ding Baozhen has just taken over, he has made meritorious deeds, although it is somewhat unavoidable, but he finally chose to return to obedience at the last moment, and he has also made a contribution to the people.Qiao Zhiqing values his upright quality, and when he dared to attack Cixi's henchman An Dehai, it was enough to prove that he was a person who could take on great responsibilities.Qiao Zhiqing's original intention was to let him join the Ministry of Integrity to preside over the work of clean government, but his qualifications in New China were still young, and he could only be tempered slowly in local affairs.Taiyuan is also the place with the fastest economic development in Jiangbei, and the burden here is handed over to Ding Baozhen, and Qiao Zhiqing is also relieved."
Second uncle, look at how the streets of Taiyuan are now, are they much wider than a few years ago, this road is all paved with asphalt, and it is also the only one in Taiyuan in Jiangbei."
When they arrived in the downtown area, they all got out of the carriage and walked down the street.Qiao Yaoguang pointed to the asphalt road that was twenty meters wide, and excitedly introduced it to Qiao Zhiqing.What he said was not an exaggeration at all, Shanxi, as the forefront of the Huaxing army's attack on Jiangbei, accepted the rule of the Huaxing army at a very early stage.Coupled with the continuous expansion of Jin merchants in various fields, as well as the further exploitation of coal mines, the economic level is at an absolutely advantageous level in Jiangbei.Half of the taxes collected by the state treasury in Jiangbei every year are contributed by Shanxi."
Hey, it's not that Zhang Ji is bald, I didn't expect to see him again after so many years."
Qiao Zhiqing stopped in front of a snack stall, with a hint of surprise on his face, and beckoned everyone to sit down.This snack is a famous food stall in Taiyuan, Qiao Zhiqing has just come to this era, and he often feasts here when he travels in Taiyuan.Wantuo is a kind of traditional noodles of the Han nationality in Shanxi, which is also called "bowl bald" in Shanxi dialect.Buckwheat noodles are kneaded with pig's blood, heated and boiled into a porridge paste, and then eaten after cooling.When tasting, cut it into thin triangular pieces, fry it thoroughly in an oil pan, put it in a bowl, pour sesame paste, garlic juice, aged vinegar, salt, monosodium glutamate and other ingredients, and eat it with a bamboo skewer.This is very similar to the enema in Beijing, except that the ingredients used are different."
Second uncle, let's change places.I have already booked a banquet at the largest Tongfu restaurant in the city, and I am waiting to wash the dust for you" Qiao Yaoguang frowned in front of the food stall, obviously he had never eaten this kind of thing, and persuaded Qiao Zhiqing to leave here."
Hey, this guest officer, I don't like to hear you say this.My old Zhang family has sold bowls on this official road for decades, and the guests are no less than Tongfu Restaurant.If you don't want to eat it, I don't want to sell it" The stall owner heard Qiao Yaoguang's complaint, frowned and said unhappily."
Hey, how do you talk, do you know who we are, you don't have to set up a stall in this place anymore" Qiao Yaoguang heard such words, and immediately pointed at the stall owner angrily and shouted."
Young man, my old Zhang's family is doing a good job, even if the government comes, he can't control it.Where do you like to go, if you don't eat, I won't serve" The stall owner waved his hand at Qiao Yaoguang impatiently, his temperament was very upright, and he was not forced by Qiao Yaoguang's threat at all."
Daddy Zhang, he's still a child, what do you have to do with him.I haven't seen you for four or five years, I didn't expect your old temper to be so stubborn" Qiao Zhiqing glared at Qiao Yaoguang and motioned for him to stop talking.He stepped forward and took out a hundred yuan bills and put them on the stall, comforting the stall owner."
You are" The stall owner stared at Qiao Zhiqing and thought about it for a long time, and finally patted his head and laughed, "Oh, damn it, damn it, isn't this Engong, I made a mess of my mouth just now, I'm really sorry, you sit down, I'll serve you a bowl of bald right away." ”The stall owner's surname is Zhang Tiesheng, and he is as his name suggests, and he is very straightforward.At the beginning, it was because a few officials didn't give money to eat here, so I made a big fuss with them.These officials are all local ruffians and hooligans, who are willing to suffer this crime.smashed Zhang Tiesheng's stall immediately, and casually planted a charge of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and put him in prison.It happened that Qiao Zhiqing was eating at the stall at that time, he was just a civilian, and he didn't have any rights in his hands.Although I can't get used to seeing it, I can't help it.He was not a person of this era in the first place, and his only thought at that time was that he wanted to be a carefree boy and spend his life in a mess.Until Zhang Cuifeng, the stall owner's youngest daughter, pitifully pulled his clothes and pleaded for her father.Qiao Zhiqing's bloody nature was stimulated, and he decided to help Zhang Tiesheng.No matter what he Qiao's family says, it is also a big businessman, and this matter is not a big deal to make a little silver.Qiao Zhiqing only sent one hundred taels of silver to the person in charge, and Lao Zhang was fished out of prison.The officials who bullied Lao Zhang were also scolded by the above, and apologized to Lao Zhang in a low manner.At that time, Zhang Tiesheng heard that Qiao Zhiqing spent a hundred taels of silver to save him, and almost gave Qiao Zhiqing the heart to kneel.insisted on giving Qiao Zhiqing an IOU, saying that he would repay him the money.Unexpectedly, as soon as the two parted, nearly four or five years would pass.Qiao Zhiqing stared at Qiao Yaoguang closely, his face was a little cold.Qiao Yaoguang lowered his head and didn't dare to gasp again, knowing that he was going to be criticized again.Wei Ziyou gloated and looked at Qiao Yaoguang and smiled, knowing that Qiao Zhiqing was about to get angry with Qiao Guangyao, he hurriedly changed the topic for him, and said playfully, "Brother Qiao, I think you just set up a gang of hawkers, and you will be the leader of the hawkers."
Whether it's Nanjing, Beijing, or Taiyuan, all the vendors are familiar with you" "Don't excuse him, you girl", Qiao Zhiqing glared at Wei Ziyou with a look of color, turned his head to Qiao Yaoguang and said coldly, "If I hadn't eaten this bowl of bald today, I really didn't know that my Qiao family's son-in-law had such a big temper and turned against you, and learned to threaten others."
You know a few officials in Taiyuan, bring them to me to see, I think who can seal this stall" Qiao Zhiqing has never seen these bullying things, today such a thing turned out to be his own nephew, the anger in his heart can be imagined.I can't wait to drag Qiao Yaoguang down immediately, and then talk about a hundred boards first
