    "Hey, Ma Dabao, why are you here?"

    "Why can't I be here?"

    Ma Dabao fanned the cattail leaf fan and asked cheerfully. Behind him, there was a six or seven-year-old boy. Because he was afraid of strangers, he pulled his clothes hard and looked at the person greeting Ma Dabao slightly nervously.

    Ma Dabao, who was originally tall and thin, has now obviously gained weight. After all, he is over fifty years old. The boy behind him looks very similar to him. His chubby face is rosy and he looks very cute.  The one who greeted him was Qi Niu, who knelt down and stared at the boy with his big eyes: "Boy, what's your name?"

    Because Qi Niu was very strong, the little boy was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Ma Dabao. Ma Dabao stopped Qi Niu and said with some displeasure: "You can't compete with me, so you came to scare my son. Admiral Lao Niu, you are really powerful."  Make a difference!"

    When he met Newton, his eyes turned red and he stretched out an arm: "Let's compare!"

    "I'm old now, but I can't compare with you. I'm already over fifty, and you're only over forty!" Ma Dabao slapped Qi Niu's hand away with a cattail leaf fan and burst into laughter.

    Strange to say, Ma Dabao has been a dull man all his life and never uttered a word when seeing officials. But in front of Qi Niu, he was not only calm and composed, but also sarcastic and mocking, leaving Qi Niu unable to do anything to him.

    Qi Niu, who was dressed in military uniform, did not grow a beard or grow his hair because he was still an active-duty officer. He still had short hair.  The Chinese Dynasty was not very particular about what kind of hair they wore, whether it was a bun like the Ming Dynasty or a bun according to the regulations of the Chinese Army, as long as it wasn't something like a money rat tail that would make people vomit.  His bizarre hairstyles were not subject to interference from the imperial court.

    But after enjoying the coolness and cleanliness of short hair in the Chinese army, few people are willing to grow their hair anymore. The unfilial piety of parents shaving their body and skin and hair has been replaced by the principle of filial piety first and not caring about things.

    "This is your boy. I didn't expect that your old tree would bloom too!" Qi Niu couldn't do anything about Ma Dabao, so he turned his target to the boy next to him: "This boy is so strong that he is strong and strong. He is quite solid.  You are just a little timid, why don¡¯t you send me there to keep you for a few years?¡±

    Qi Niu now has three daughters, but no sons. He is very covetous of other people's sons. When he sees a boy, he wants to take him back and raise him for a few days. Even Yu Guozhen's youngest son is kidnapped and raised by him every now and then.  sky.  Every time he was scolded by Yu Guozhen for being useless.

    Although China allowed three wives, which was an inevitable choice after years of chaos and war and a large reduction in young men, Qi Niu only had one wife. His inner fear was well-known in the Chinese dynasty, so he did not take concubines.  Many high-ranking officials in the Chinese dynasty were henpecked. This was true for Jiang An and Qi Niu, who served as assistants to the commanders of the legions.  Not to mention others, this made some old scholars make up jokes about the Chinese Dynasty behind their backs.

    People with a discerning eye know that this is the inevitable result of the improvement of women's economic status in the Chinese dynasty.  Women can show their faces and earn money to support their families, and they don't have to depend on men as before.

    Ma Dabao didn¡¯t know that Qi Niu had this hobby, and said with a smile: ¡°General Lao Niu, you have murderous intent. He is still young, so he is naturally afraid of you. He is the king of people at home, and no one dares to mess with him. He is still here.¡±

    While the two of them were talking, they saw more and more people on the street.

    "Lao Ma, are you here to participate in this referendum meeting too?" Qi Niu changed the topic: "Which party recommended you to come?"

    "Of course it's the railway. I haven't seen you for so many years. Don't you know? I am now the first Class A technician in the Railway Corps." Ma Dabao proudly patted his chest: "In terms of basic salary level alone, I am a two-star technician above you.  It will be even higher!"

    "Okay, Lao Ma, I really can't tell!" Qi Niu was stunned for a moment.

    To become a first-class technician.  It's definitely not easier than standing out from an army of millions and becoming a general.  Qi Niu knows this very well.  The basic salary of everyone in the Huaxia Dynasty is set according to their own level.  A first-class technician is equivalent to a general in the army - of course, in terms of actual income, a general is definitely far better than a first-class technician. After all, there are differences in various allowances between the two sides.  But when Ma Dabao fled to Shandong, he was just a thin man who was about to starve to death. He was also too old to even want to join the Tiger Guard. They became first-class technicians, and among other things, they spent a lot of energy attending night classes to make up for their classes.  .

    ¡°However, it¡¯s too unseemly for you to bring your little kid here, isn¡¯t it?¡± Qi Niu asked again.

    "I'm just bringing him to see the world. There are family members there, and I'll give him to them to play with after the meeting." Ma Dabao said with a smile: "Bringing this kid into the Grand Hall? I don't want to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.  "

    Qi Niu also laughed. He raised his eyes and looked towards the building known as the "Grand Hall" and took a deep breath.

      "Dagongtang" is a building built by China for the referendum. It has a hall that can accommodate thousands of people, as well as dozens of small halls, canteens, and shops. This joint meeting is its first  put into use.  It is said that this is also the final design drawing of the long-lived Mr. Lei. Mr. Lei did not see it built in person, but his descendants and grandsons, Lei Fa and Lei Faxuan brothers, were present as participants in the joint meeting this time.

    They were among the crowd just now.

    "General Lao Niu, I heard that there will be a referendum on the chief minister this time Is it true that your majesty no longer wants to be the chief minister?" Ma Dabao asked.

    Qi Niu smiled and did not respond. He was always tight-lipped. He was not sure whether Yu Guozhen would really not be the chief assistant this time, but he, the governor-general of the Qinghai-Tibet Army, must be mobilized.  Yu Guozhen had already announced in advance that in the future, all army and military region commanders would also be rotated every four years. This was to allow officers to become familiar with operations and training in all environments in China, and to avoid the emergence of powerful forces in the army.  Domineering feudal town.

    The two of them had been chatting for a long time before they saw Shi Kefa limping slowly over. Ma Dabao didn¡¯t recognize him, so he was a little surprised and said: "This guy was born in the military. That legbut what's wrong?"

    "That's Shi Kefa Shi Daolin. He's here today, I'm afraid he's here to cause trouble." There was nothing confidential about this matter, so Qi Niu told it.

    Shi Kefa slowly moved to the door of the Grand Hall. He was still twenty meters away from the steps. Someone had already marked the white line with lime. Shi Kefa opened the luggage he was carrying on his back and took out a  Maza, and then put several boards and pieces of cloth together to build a tree.  He sat on the horse and held up something like a sign made of board and cloth.  I squinted my eyes and looked at my head. I felt that the morning sun was still a little bit harsh, so I opened an umbrella.

    There are words on the signboard and umbrella.  The signboard reads, "China is not China, it has no clothes and no etiquette; it is not a great prince, it is extravagant and lustful, and it is full of private favors." The words on the umbrella are "To complain for all the surnames."

    "What does this mean?" Ma Dabao was stunned.  asked Qi Niu.

    "What do you mean? Now Shi Daolin has nothing to do every day. He just carries a sign and shows off. He is also cunning. He was caught twice by the police. Every time he goes out to show off, he no longer breaks the law. If he had crossed the white stop line just now  . Then you can arrest him." A young man next to him shook his head.

    It turns out that after the Ming Dynasty was replaced by China, Shi Kefa did not return to his hometown to live leisurely, but moved from Jinling to Shanghai. In his own words, he wanted to watch tall buildings rise and collapse.  He had nothing to do, but went to various government offices in the Huaxia Dynasty every day to cause trouble, causing a lot of trouble. After being arrested, he took out the "Regulations on Citizens' Behavior" drafted by Yu Guozhen.  As a Chinese citizen, I have the right to supervise the actions of officials. I not only have the right to supervise, but also the right to criticize and protest.  This left all the government agencies helpless. Even if the Police Department arrested him twice, he could not get off the stage because of his self-defense.  When the matter came to Yu Guozhen's side, Yu Guozhen only gave him ten words of approval: "If the world can be tolerated, why not tolerate a single snarky Confucian?" So he had no choice but to let him go.  After that, Ji Si also learned the lesson.  Catch him for his illegal activities.  For example, gathering a crowd to block the road and disrupting the order of the government office are all minor crimes.  If it's too long, Shi Kefa can be detained for fifteen days, while if it's too short, he can only be detained for three days.  Shi Kefa suffered several hidden losses and became shrewd. He only used signs to express his protest, but he wandered on the edge of the Chinese law.

    There was a battle of wits and cunning between the two sides, and the young man was sent by the Inspector General to keep an eye on Shi Kefa.

    "Haha, you can't do anything with him like this?" Ma Dabao laughed loudly: "How about I take care of him?"

    "How do you deal with him?"

    "Of course I go up to the boss and slap him. You law enforcers must not break the law. I am not. I am just a common man. Go up and slap him a few times. What can he say?"

    "That's not possible. In that case, we will arrest you. Beating people for no reason is also provoking trouble. If you don't hurt anyone, it will take three to fifteen days. If you hurt someone, it may take more than half a year."

    "Hehe, I am a councilor of the joint meeting. It seems that the "Consultation Law" was issued not long ago, saying that with my status, I must be removed from my position as a councilor before I can be arrested"

    Ma Dabao stared at Shi Kefa as he spoke, really eager to try. The young man was a little stunned when he heard what he said, but Qi Niu grabbed Ma Dabao and said, "Stop."

    "how?"

    "That guy is just cheating. They have no other skills, they only know this. If you get a slap in the face, they will become famous immediately. Generally, people with stinky smells will go up and down.  Jump, talk nonsense about being persecuted, and the new dynasty blocking the way for scholars and scholars, and still think that the current people are stupid, Shi Kefa stillOkay, a while ago, there was a guy with a bullshit name. He was writing one after another of vitriolic articles that didn¡¯t make any sense, while complaining about being oppressed and not being able to speak freely. There were also some letters that were so stupid that his brain was kicked by a donkey.  he.  "

    It was rare for Qi Niu to say so many words. Ma Dabao chuckled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of damaging His Majesty's reputation, so I won't spare this kind of bug."

    Their conversation was quite loud, and Shi Kefa could hear it, but he didn't even raise his eyes.

    He has come out to protest every day in the past few years, and he has never heard any curse words.  He was different from the guy Qi Niu mentioned who was illiterate and was said to have used to explain Cuju to idle people for a living. That guy had to cheat some people out of their money by swearing like this, but Shi Kefa really fell in love with him.  This feeling of protest.

    A person fights against a court. At least at this point, Shi Kefa believes that his existence is valuable - perhaps, Yu Guozhen feels this, so he can tolerate him.
