The four servants had been practicing for several months and were very strong. They grabbed Xiao Guangwei as if they wanted to play, pushed him to the ground, and lifted up his pants to reveal his two big white buttocks.
Xiao Guangwei was so frightened that he struggled on the ground and shouted: "Li Zhi, if you dare to touch me, Father Chen of the Qing Military Department will not let you go!"
The last time Li Zhi had dealt with Chen Qishou, the prison official of the Qing Military Department, he was still a commoner at that time, so Chen Qishou treated Li Zhi with respect because of his status as governor. Now that Li Zhi has been promoted, he doesn't even take Chen Qishou seriously.
He smiled and said, "Go and try and see if Father Chen dares to let me go?"
The two servants at the gate handed over the sticks. Two of the four servants who took action held down the struggling Xiao Guangwei, and the other two began to hit Xiao Guangwei's buttocks with a stick.
The two of them took turns to beat each other, one by one, and the attack was not gentle. Xiao Guangwei suddenly screamed like a slaughtering pig, and the screams spread throughout Jingbianfang. The onlookers stood aside and watched, and they all stared at each other.
"Why is Li Zhi so cruel, trying to show off his authority and try to beat Xiao Guangwei!"
"When Li Zhi was a child, Xiao Guangwei always bullied him because he was silly. Now that he has grown up, it's the other way around. Li Zhi beats Xiao Guangwei!"
"Xiao Guangwei keeps pestering Cui He. He has a bad reputation and deserves a beating."
"When my son was beaten, he was beaten by officials. This beating was in vain. His father, Xiao Shouyi, will be completely disgraced."
The four servants beat him twenty times hard, until Xiao Guangwei lost all strength to shout and fell to the ground, screaming and moaning.
After being beaten, Xiao Guangwei lay on the ground for a long time before gritting his teeth and pulling up his pants. But just as he was about to get up, the pain from his butt made him lie back on the ground again. When had Xiao Guangwei ever suffered such a big loss?
I couldn't think about it anymore, so I fell on the ground and started crying.
The person he bullied since childhood became so powerful, which made Xiao Guangwei very helpless and angry. He cried louder and louder, and finally burst into tears.
Li Zhi looked at the unsatisfactory playboy and shook his head. When he first traveled through time, this boy was still riding on Li Zhi's head, but now, the gap between the two is not as big as usual.
Li Zhi turned to look at Cui He and found Cui Hezheng clenching his fists happily, beaming with joy as Xiao Guangwei was taught a lesson.
Li Zhi said: "Shall I take you to Fanjiazhuang to see the new city I built?"
Cui He's face turned red again, and he hesitated and said, "Aren't you going to my house to propose marriage?"
Li Zhi said: "I have to prepare gifts another day before I go. If I go in a hurry today, I will be kicked out by your father."
Cui He thought for a while and then said: "Okay, then I'll go and see your new city!"
Li Zhi asked Cui He and the maid to get into the carriage and took them back to Fanjiazhuang to watch the excitement.
When the group of people arrived at the east gate of Fanjiazhuang, Cui He and his maid jumped out of the carriage. As soon as Cui He got off the carriage, he saw the tall double-eaves tower on the city gate. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Li Zhi, is this your city? Okay?"
Majestic tower!"
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Is it okay?"
Cui He nodded excitedly and said, "Other people have a big yard at most, but you really have a city!" Looking at the people who were delivering building materials at the gate of the city, Cui He said, "Your city is so lively.
,Why are there so many people coming in and out?"
Li Zhi said: "The buildings in the city are still under construction! Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Seeing the master of defense leading people into the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate bowed to Li Zhi and his party, making Cui He giggle with pride.
As soon as he entered the city, Cui He was attracted by the cleanliness and tidiness of the city. He looked around and said, "Li Zhi, why is there no garbage in your Fanjiazhuang? It's so clean! It doesn't look like a town at all!" After thinking about it,
Thinking about it, Cui He said: "There are no other dirty things, and there is no smell!"
Li Zhi said: "Littering in my place has to be punished. There is a large trash can at the door of every five households. I hire special people to transport the garbage to an uninhabited place for burial outside the city. And there are old residential buildings next to it.
Public toilets and new residents’ homes have toilets connected to septic tanks, so naturally there will be no accumulation of feces and no smell!”
Cui He nodded, looked around, and said, "Why is there no dirty water on your street?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "My city was planned when it was being built. It is high in the middle and low on the four sides. Deep drainage ditches are dug on both sides of the road. They are paved with bluestones. The drainage ditches are hidden underneath and you cannot see them. The wastewater from residents' homes
All flowed from the drainage ditch to the river outside the city."
"It's amazing!" Cui He looked around and said, "Why do I think the people in your city are much better dressed than the people in Tianjin? There are fewer patches on their clothes, and their faces are better, and they don't look disheveled.
Poor people! Are all the rich in your city?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Most of the residents in the city are my employees' families. They have three meals a month, meat and two or two months of money. They are naturally richer than the people in Tianjin!"
Cui He thought for a while and said with a smile: "You pay such a high monthly fee? What a good employer!"
Li Zhi blinked at Cui He. Cui He saw Li Zhi's actions and remembered the last time Li Zhi blinked at him inappropriately at the textile factory, and snorted and ignored him.
After humming, Cui He looked cheerfully at the excitement.
Li Zhi took Cui He all the way north, passing through the busy villa construction site, and walked to the Beimen Market near North Street. The area near the North Gate was where the first batch of villas were built, and two thousand workers had already moved there.
Families. The consumption power of these working-class families is very strong, so the Beimen Market is very lively, selling everything. There are also vendors who cannot rent stalls in the market, so they do their business on the roadside outside the market.
Cui He looked at the lively market and said with a smile: "Li Zhi, the people in your city are really rich! There are so many vendors here, it must be very convenient to buy things!"
Li Zhi said: "Yes, these vendors set up their stalls until midnight every day, waiting for the workers to get off work!"
Cui He asked again: "Where do these vendors live?"
Li Zhi said: "I rent villas for them to live in, but my villas are mainly for workers. The rent for families other than workers is higher. Come, I will show you the villa area!"
"OK!"
Li Zhi took Cui He away from the market and walked into the villas near North Street to see the thousand villas that had been repaired. Looking at the two-story villas with white walls and black tiles, Cui He said in surprise:
"Li Zhi, the houses in your city are so beautiful. Do your employees live in them?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yes. But if you marry me, you will live in the Deputy Qianhu Official Hall. The house is even more beautiful than this!"
Cui He's face turned red, he tilted his head and said sweetly: "My father hasn't agreed yet, maybe he won't!"
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I'll take you to see my soldiers!"
Li Zhi took Cui He up to the south gate and to the second floor of the city tower, where he saw two thousand servants training outside the south gate of Fanjiazhuang.
Most of the servants were practicing formation, walking in unison on the school grounds in a neat formation, going straight and turning. Thousands of heads moved neatly with the steps, and the movements were uniform, which looked very impressive.
When Cui He saw so many soldiers, he said "Wow" and said, "How big an official are you, Li Zhi? How come there are so many soldiers? No wonder you dare to teach Xiao Guangwei a lesson!"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "These are all my servants! They protect Fanjiazhuang. With these servants, Fanjiazhuang is impregnable and will not be afraid of the Tatars."
Cui He asked again: "What is that crackling place in the distance doing?"
"That's when you're practicing a new type of musket. Do you know about muskets?"
Cui He said proudly: "I know! Guns can hit people from a distance!" Cui He thought for a while and said: "With so many soldiers, your city will be safer than Tianjin Acropolis!"
Li Zhi said proudly: "That is naturally safer than Tianjin!"
