"Ha ha ha"
On the big ship that stopped at the dock beside Huang Jia's old mansion, a young man in a dragon robe and a red wind hat saw the splendid performance outside Huang Jia's mansion. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When that old Huang guy showed the knife, he was startled, thinking the stubborn old fellow was going to kill his son, only to find out he was also a stooge!
It seems that Wang Yan really is a talent, with the potential to be a top-tier instructor!
"Your Highness," Wang Yan's classmate, Little Zhang Bao, who is also a student in the lecturer class, approached Luo Tianshi, displaying a smug smile. "It was I who came up with the idea of pre-arranging a few stooges to set up a scenario and reason for it!"
"Um!" Luo Yaoguo turned to look at him, noting that the boy had gained some weight and looked plump, with a tiger-like appearance and a little bit of Maitreya's meaning. "Okay, Bao Bao, do well. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom needs people like you! This world needs young people like you to save it!"
Bao Bao, remember that a strong youth means a strong China! A wise youth means a wise China!"
"The Angel is teaching correctly."
Upon hearing Luo Yaoguo's praise, Little Zhang Bao didn't show any signs of pride, instead bowing respectfully in a manner of a grown-up, looking quite the academic scholar.
Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly, smiling, "Bao Bao, would you be my disciple?"
Luo Yaoguo is the chief lecturer of the Society of God, theoretically the teacher of all "lecturer apprentices." However, this Angel has been very busy lately and has no time to teach his "apprentices." In fact, the curriculum for those apprentices is arranged by Feng Yunshan, who is based in Ge Tang.
However, Luo Yaoguo cannot always be a "Mr. Do nothing," he still has the "one mobile phone" ability to find a successor.
But this successor cannot be found too many times, it's too much to teach!
So Luo Yaoguo is contemplating first finding one or two smart individuals, teaching them thoroughly, and then having them become teachers in the lecturer class to teach other apprentices.
Wang Yan's little sister Wang Xihier has been serving the Luo Angel for these days, and seems to have a bit of spiritual insight. She has already been taken as a disciple.
And Little Zhang Bao looks quite intelligent, so Luo Yaoguo has decided to take him in as well, to instruct him at any time.
Hearing this, Little Zhang Bao immediately knelt down before Luo Yaoguo and knocked his head three times: "Disciple Zhang Bao, paying respects to the angel master!"
Luo Yaoguo nodded, then pointed at Wang Xihier: "Bao Bao, she is your senior disciple. She entered ten days earlier than you. I have taught her the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, twenty-five phonetic symbols, ten Arabic numbers, and arithmetic symbols. From today on, you should learn from her first. Ten days later, I will test you!"
Zhang Bao listened to Luo's Master's words and knew that something was wrong. The Master's knowledge sounded very difficult, so he might have to work hard every day in the future!
While Luo Yaoguo was taking on a disciple and Zhang Bao was becoming a student, outside the Huang family mansion, Wang Yan, the golden lecturer under Luo Yaoguo's command, had already breached the feudal stronghold of Huangshijie in Ge Tang village.
The true nature of that Huang Dachan has been exposed by the poor farmers of Huangcun village.
What "kind-hearted man"?
What kind of relative?
What two Huang characters can't be written with a single stroke?
Those were all the ruse of Huang Lord!
The Huang surname people in Huangcun village were merely tools for the Huang family to rule over Ge Tang, Ling Tang, Shuangpai, and other places for several generations.
The Huang family gave them a few minor benefits and drove them to serve as both a local militia and tenants, and they thought their "Huang" was the same as Huang Lord's "Huang".
But that is absolutely not the case!
However, they will have no future if they follow Huang Laodao, because Huang Laodao himself is getting poorer and poorer. With the exception of the Huang Shiji family, all the other families of Huang Laodao have already declined. Even the Huang Shiji family, before the Taiping army came, was no longer what it used to be.
If Huang Laodao could still give the relatives of his clan the opportunity to earn a little more money by going out to work as laborers before his decline, now that he has begun to decline, Huang Laodao wants to continue to be a lord and can only treat "his own people" even harsher.
In this attempt to resist the approaching Taiping Army, Huang Shiji has already sacrificed the lives of over a hundred Huang family members!
This is Huang Laodao's so-called benevolent and moral code of eating people!
The people of Huangcun village must wake up to this reality soon, or the Taiping Army will soon advance to help them wake up!
It won't be as severe as wiping out the village, but dispersing the clan and forcibly relocating them to other places is definitely going to happen.
Considering the current land disputes in Dao County, if the Huang clan is dispersed and relocated to other places, they will definitely be bullied by other clans.
Fortunately, in the village of Huang, there are still people like Huang Shicheng and Huang Shouren who understand the situation.
Under their leadership, more and more Huang family members are cutting off their queues and stepping forward to expose the evil nature of Huang Shiji!
Soon, Huang Shiji and Huang Dachan became the source of all evil in Ge Tan Town.
In Huangcun village, there were also about 10 new "Taiping Troop followers" and 7 or 8 "progressive Huangs" who actively sought to join the Society of God. With them as a foundation, Huangcun village's division of land and distribution of goods could be implemented smoothly, allowing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Society of God to take control of Huangcun village.
While the Huang family in Huangcun village were heatedly discussing how to divide their land and wealth owned by Huang Shiji in the village, the large wooden ship moored at the pier had already left silently.
Dikes Street, Ge Tan Town.
When Luo Yaoguo returned to Dikes Street, the long street by the water that had once been prosperous due to the Xiao River shipping and also a battlefield where bodies were strewn about, had become somewhat tranquil and peaceful.
The shipping on the Xiao River still hasn't improved, and most of the shops on Dikes Street are closed. A few shops that were burned down in the last battle are still in ruins, and no one has cleaned them up yet.
The bodies, bloodstains, and bullet holes on the street have long been cleaned up. Begging beggars have disappeared, as have those who look like gaunt skeletons hiccupping endlessly from opium addiction. Even the gamblers who gamble with ten or eight copper coins have vanished. Gone are the prostitutes in heavy makeup who come out to attract customers. The opium dens, gambling houses, and brothels along Dikes Street are all closed for good.
Although the market is depressed, the social atmosphere has improved significantly, giving it a bit of an earthly paradise feel.
There are still some common people walking on Dikes Street. Most of the men have cut off their queues, some have shaved their heads completely, while others have long hair that is neither here nor there. Some wear a hat to cover their head.
Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, it seems they are still immersed in the joy of receiving land and surplus goods, but some of their eyebrows are slightly furrowed. It's not clear if they're worried that the Qing dynasty will soon invade.
The walls near the dock on Dikes Street have been sprayed with slogans in black ink, such as "Divide land, divide surplus wealth," "Long live the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom," "One country under heaven for ten thousand years," and "Heavenly punishment and earthly destruction for the evil head of the Qing."
"Xian You Tu?" Luo Yaoguo saw the slogan "Heavenly punishment and earthly destruction for the evil head of the Qing" as he stepped off a ship and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Who thought of this? Hahaha, even Xian Zhu Tu!"
"I reported to the Angel that it was the servant who came up with it."
Responding was a man who was white and plump, around thirty years old, with a smile that looked like a wish for prosperity. He didn't look like a rebel but rather like a merchant.
His name is Wu Ruxiao, and he was originally an accountant in the Guangzhou Thirteen Prefecture, as well as the White Paper Fan member of the Guangxi branch of the Heavenly and Earthly Society under Su Sanyun. He ran away with Su Sanyun and joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together.
During Luo Yaoguo's "parachute drop," he witnessed the "miracle" on the battlefield of Shuaiyijiao and Shuitangtan.
Later, when Feng Yunshan sent troops to Daozhou, he brought Wu Ruxiao along. After Luo Yaoguo marched into Daozhou City, Wu Ruxiao and Feng Yunshan together managed the affairs of Ge Tang Town, Ling Tang Town, Shuangpai Town, and other places.
When Luo Yaoguo returned from Daozhou City, Feng Yunshan had already been called to the front lines in Lingling by Hong Xiuquan, so it was left to Wu Ruxiao to welcome the Great Angel Luo at the dock of Dikes Street in Ge Tang Town.
"Where is the Southern King?" After a few casual greetings, Luo Yaoguo inquired about Feng Yunshan's whereabouts.
Wu Ruxiao furrowed his brow and whispered, "Your Highness, the Southern King was summoned to the front lines in Lingling by the Heavenly King yesterday. The Southern King sent someone back to Ge Tan last night, ordering us to bring a message: the Heavenly King is very angry, and the consequences will be severe."
