"Please rest assured, madam, after the winter campaign, the horse bandits have long been scared out of their wits and have hid like mice without knowing where to hide." Chen Tianhua said with a relaxed expression.

"Well, it's all over now. I'm just saying it casually. Let's talk about it now. Husband, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

Li Shuzhen understood Chen Tianhua's temperament, and all she said were comforting words. She didn't care about the past tense, she was focused on the present.

Of course she hopes that Chen Tianhua can stay home for a few more days this time.

"Five or six days, hehe." Chen Tianhua replied with an estimate.

"Hmph...it's only been five or six days, so I think I'll stay a few more days." When Li Shuzhen heard this, she immediately pouted and became unhappy.

"Oh dear, I will go home to visit my relatives every two months from now on. When the Changniu Railway is fully opened to traffic, I will feel much more relaxed. By then, I will come back to visit my relatives every month."

When Chen Tianhua saw this, he quickly explained and coaxed.

Seeing that her husband had said this, Li Shuzhen's expression softened. She naturally understood the principle of climbing down the ladder. She pouted and hummed:

"Okay, I believe you this time, but in these five or six days, you have to stay with us and not run around?!"

"That's for sure."

It was night, we had dinner at home, the couple took a shower, and went into the bedroom early to make out.

…

The next day, for the first time for the first time, Chen Tianhua did not get up early to exercise and stayed in his cozy home with his beloved wife.

At about ten o'clock, the couple came out of the bedroom, had some snacks, and prepared to drive the yacht to the father-in-law's official residence.

As soon as he walked out of the villa gate, he saw the guard platoon leader Song Xiaoniu and the guard Gu Zhunian wandering on the lawn.

Chen Tianhua looked at Song Xiaoniu's face, which was red with pain, and understood that this guy must have something to ask for, but he just couldn't say it.

"Xiao Niu, Danian, what do you two want to ask for here? Tell me, I won't blame you." Chen Tianhua stepped forward and asked proactively.

"Master, it's like this. Dannian hasn't been home for half a year. The main reason is that his brother Xiaonian's illness has not completely recovered. He wants to take three days off and go back for a visit. He wants me to accompany him, so he wants to take a trip back.

Can I ask for your instructions?"

Song Xiaoniu and Gu Zhunian stood at attention and saluted, and then Xiaoniu reported.

This guy is staying at the Meishan Town Headquarters, following Chen Tianhua. His courage and expressiveness make him progress very quickly, but he is not as hesitant as before, and his speech is still very slippery.

"Go back to your hometown in New Year, Qian Qing?"

Chen Tianhua was thoughtful. As for the situation in Gu Zhunian's hometown, his brother-in-law Ahua told him during the Chinese New Year, saying that the family was very pitiful. Xiaonian improved greatly after being hospitalized, and he took medicine at home after the new year.

"Yes, young master." Gu Zhunian replied timidly.

"Okay, Master Ben, I've got this done. I'll give you two a task by the way. Go to Shuangqi Town to visit my mother and pay my respects to her. You can take this hundred yuan and buy some things when you get home.

."

With that said, Chen Tianhua took out a hundred-yuan banknote from his pocket and handed it to Song Xiaoniu.

"No, young master, Danian and I have salary. Besides, there are a lot of silver rewards given out during the Chinese New Year that haven't been used yet." Song Xiaoniu waved his hand and did not dare to accept it.

"Take Silengzi, in addition to giving some relief to my family during the Lunar New Year, why don't you go to visit my mother and buy some supplements? In addition, go to Xinjun Town Yamen to find Yan Deacon and ask him for a speedboat. Let me send him

You go visit my mother."

"Yes... I understand, thank you, young master." Song Xiaoniu understood. He excitedly took the banknote handed over and saluted with a snap.

"Thank you, young master." Gu Danian also stood at attention with tears in his eyes.

This speedboat cost another hundred silver dollars, which shows the master's broad mind and concern for his subordinates.

Coupled with Mrs. Chen's selfless assistance years ago, Gu Danian was very grateful. He really didn't know how to repay his master's kindness.

After the two left in tears, Chen Tianhua caught up with his wife, children and maids, got off the boat at the yacht pier, and drove the boat to the south bank of West Lake himself.

…

Chen Tianhua's new army captured Huaikan Town, which was great news for Shaler.

In his opinion, Chen Tianhua, whose wife, children, and children all live in Fucheng, Hangzhou, are upper-class people who are used to modern life, and it is impossible for them to settle down in such poor places as Meishan Mountains and Guangde Mountains.

This is truly a corner of the earth.

In the future, when he has laid the railway and it is open to traffic, he should return to Hangzhou, and the land of Huaikan Town will fall into his hands easily and happily.

At most, it would be very decent to give Chen Tianhua some monetary compensation before leaving.

Let the new army get more familiar with the upper and lower parts of Huaikan Town and eliminate all the stubborn elements. When he takes over, he won't have to go to war and won't encounter too strong resistance.

Shaler's decision was unanimously agreed by Peng Zuo and others.

Or else it could be said that 'heroes see the same thing', everyone's Xiao Jiujiu was surprisingly in the same direction, almost the same, because Peng Zuo's Zhongyi Tang also thought so, and everyone saw the huge benefits in this.

Huaikan Town is the headquarters of this local force. In fact, they also control two townships in Guangde, namely Chun Sa and Qing La, and scatteredly control more than 100 villages with a population of more than 100,000.

The other two townships only have some opium collection teams and no militia groups stationed there.

"Hey... have you heard that the newly arrived New Army Headquarters said that they will try those bastards who have committed evil crimes, and they are asking the mountain people to come forward and identify them on the spot!"

"Of course I have heard of it. There is a notice posted at the gate of the headquarters, but I am illiterate. It states that villains who randomly rob property, kill people for no reason, commit adultery and plunder will be shot immediately once identified!"

"Also, the headquarters has announced that Huaikan Town and its jurisdiction will be running for town office officials at all levels in a week. Young people with knowledge are also welcome to sign up to work as staff in various departments. The remuneration is very generous."

"Not only that, the headquarters has also announced that it will provide a subsidy of thirty to one hundred silver dollars to those households in need. This is great. With this money, you don't have to worry about your life this year!"

In the early morning, people in Huaikan Town gathered in small groups to discuss the announcement issued by the New Army Headquarters.

This is an unprecedented event!

Seeing the local gangsters being tied up and led back in batches, everyone was convinced that this was true, and soon a storm of enthusiasm developed.

After being oppressed for decades, the people hated the militia and thugs in Huaikan Town so much that they wanted to eat their flesh, skin, bones, and suck out their marrow.
Chapter completed!
