Tamluo, Zhoucheng, Xihe Township.
In order to more effectively control the area near the city, the Chiyang Think Tank composed of Liu Laoliu, Yan Si, Yan Xiaosong, Chang Jiansheng, Zhong Hui, Wang Changnian and others decided to set up four township-level administrative units around Tamluo City. They are Donggang Township, Beihai Township, Nanshan Township, and Xihe Township! Among them, Xihe Township is located ten miles west of Zhoucheng. It was originally a village inhabited by Korean people. After Chiyang conquered most of Jeju, he drove the local Bangzi aborigines to live further east, and he accepted them unceremoniously. The house, fields, and orchards left by the original owner!
With these ready-made things as a base, Chiyang's control over this area quickly became tighter! In addition to a sentry reserve and a new auxiliary army stationed in Xihe Village where the township office is located, several new immigrant villages scattered around also have archers under the chiefs and Minzhuang stationed for a long time. They and the Chiyang Regular Banner Army Together they formed a big net, a big net that strictly controlled the Korean people! If coupled with the strict household registration system controlled by the head of the household, it would be extremely difficult for any Korean to escape Chiyang's surveillance, collude with each other, and conspire to cause trouble, let alone join the army in the garrison in order to better control the Korean people under their rule. Yan Si Yan Hansheng also sent many Korean shadows who were former sentinel detectives to various places to monitor the old ruling forces of Korea who were dissatisfied with the new regime!
Anyone deemed disrespectful or threatening will be secretly arrested! Those black-clad personal guards from the city don't care what your previous status was. They only follow the orders of the superiors to arrest people. If they encounter anyone who dares to resist, they will serve them with a round of cannonballs and lead pellets without saying a word. Their methods are so rough that they are simply It's outrageous! What's even more awesome is that their actions don't need to be notified to the local government. The garrison usually only gets the news late after they have arrested people and ransacked homes. The local area is in good shape! Under such a high-pressure rule, who dares to stand up and challenge the authority of the new conquerors? Those who have the backbone and temper have been sent to the mines to mine. What's more, the whole family has fallen to the black-clad relatives. Under Wei's butcher knife...
"Well, you're right! Lao Ma, since you can have such an opinion, it means that you have truly integrated into the identity of Li Zheng during this period. It seems that I have not misjudged the person. You are a dry Li Zheng." Good information. As long as you can do your errands as hard as ever in the future, I will definitely say a lot of good things for you in front of the guarding adults! By then, a mere appearance will mean nothing. I think our Chiyang Xingxing has many official positions. With my ability, it’s not an exaggeration to be a county magistrate and governor of the state! Work hard, it’s very likely that after a while, someone will change your name and call me the county magistrate…”
Let’s get back to the subject, let’s turn our attention to the Xihe Township Office again! After listening to Ma Botong's answer, Liu Laoliu's originally gloomy face now had a smile on his face. How could he, as the boss, not be happy that he had such smart and capable people under his command! In the usual overt and covert battles with Yan Xiaosong, Chang Jiansheng, Zhong Boyao, Wang Changnian and others, this guy, as an uneducated boss, already feels that he is becoming more and more powerless, especially since his serious injuries have not yet fully healed. Under such circumstances, it becomes even more difficult to resist the endless attacks by those younger generations! Therefore, in order to be able to better handle the troublesome military and government affairs at hand, this guy needs to find a smart guy to be his military advisor, and this humble Ma Bo and Mali Zheng are very good. It's obvious that he has caught his eye!
Therefore, in order to win over this old guy who seemed to be trembling and could be knocked down by a gust of wind, Liu Laoliu did not hesitate to offer him the official position of county magistrate and state magistrate! In his opinion, as long as it can help him achieve a comprehensive victory in the subsequent factional struggle, he will give a small profit. He can't let the horse run without giving the horse grass! People are selfish. If you don't offer heart-pounding benefits, why would others join your camp? Could it be that you rely on your personality charm? Don't be kidding me. If I had that thing, why would I still be a thief on a ship in my forties? Instead of pinning all your hopes on the consciousness of others, it is better to use this as a medium to attract more like-minded people to join your camp while you still have power!
"I would like to thank you, the great master of the state, for your support. From now on, I will look up to you as an adult and work hard until I die!"
"Hey, hey, hey, old horse, please don't harm me! What about taking someone's lead? What about working your butt off and dying?
Now, don’t talk nonsense! In our Chiyang, there is only one person you can devote your whole life to, and that is our Lord Guard! This is very important, I hope you must keep it in mind, otherwise, if you offend him, you will die without knowing how..."
Very satisfied with Ma Botong's performance, Liu Laoliu took out his dry tobacco rod from his waist, loaded it with shredded tobacco, lit it and took a big puff! Like Yan Xiaosong, Chang Jiansheng, Zhong Boyao, Wang Changnian and others, he was a special recruiter. Although everyone had different political opinions, their loyalty to the leader was unquestionable. Therefore, when he heard that Ma Bo and Mali were asking him to To show loyalty, after a sensitive topic was involved, this guy immediately chose to interrupt and tried to correct the other party's wrong thinking! He wanted to find a military staff officer and a government assistant, but he didn't want to find a crouching dragon and phoenix chick who knew how to slay dragons and sing pancakes!
"What your lord has said is true. We are all officials under the guardianship of the lord, and we should do our best to serve the lord. It was a subordinate who made a mistake, and I hope you can forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you say something wrong in front of someone, it's a trivial matter, and you can change it. But in front of others, it's better to be more careful with your words and deeds! After all, not everyone is willing to be like someone, willing to give others A chance to turn over a new leaf! Haha, let’s not say these disappointing words. It’s rare to come to your place today, how about you show me around?”
Looking at Ma Botong, who had a gloomy look on his face, Liu Laoliu suddenly smiled, instantly dissolving the dull atmosphere between the two parties! To be honest, compared to the cookie-cutter township and village offices, the latter hopes that the former can take them to see the living environment of new immigrants and the farmland full of wheat! After all, that is the foundation for Chi Yang to settle down and live his life! He went to the countryside this time to inspect the grassroots, but sitting in the township office, he could not understand the sentiments of the people! So, after comforting Ma Botong with a few words, Liu Dazhizhou immediately began to ask the former to look around!
"My old parents are generous and kind-hearted and considerate of their subordinates. They are indeed role models for us to follow. However, it is already noon. How about we go to the village office to have some wine and dinner first, and then go down to observe the public sentiment in the afternoon?"
"No, no, it's still early now. It's not too late to have some food and wine later. I happen to want to visit other people's houses in the village and see what our people have for lunch. Just lead the way. !」
Faced with Ma Botong's kind invitation, Liu Laoliu remained unmoved! He is not a person who is greedy for food, drink and pleasure. During the time when he was a sailor on a sea ship, he often lived a hungry and full life. In his opinion, eating and drinking are trivial matters. What is important is that work must be done. It must be completed on time! And today, his job here is to understand the sentiments of the people! Therefore, he was not going to have lunch before completing the task. He had to keep a clear mind to observe everything, find the shortcomings, and have the accompanying scribe record them in the book, leaving it to be reported to the leader when he returns in the future.
Like other towns in Chiyang, the streets of Xihe Township are composed of one horizontal, three vertical, and four gravel roads. Along the roads are neat rows of residential houses. These mixed-structure buildings of wood and stone are not only suitable for ordinary new immigrants to live in, but some of them are even existing ones. It was leased by the township government to new immigrants with skills to open a shop! The latter have obtained sufficient loans from the township government by virtue of their own strengths and the assistance policies formulated by Chiyang. Next, they will recruit people from among their companions to actually open the store!
As for the aboriginal people here, those Goryeo people under the rule of the Li Dynasty have been driven to live seven or eight miles away by the armed Chiyang reserve soldiers and the archers and minzhuang! What's more, in order to prevent the Goryeo aborigines from sneaking into Chiyang town, spying on information and waiting for opportunities to destroy, Chiyang also built a wooden and stone wall between the two sides, a kind of wooden and stone wall surrounded by trenches and with good defensive capabilities. wall! Therefore, until Liu Laoliu came with his entourage to observe the public sentiment, the wall in Xihe Township had not been completely built! In order to prevent the noisy construction scene from disturbing his benefactor's sightseeing tour and to understand the elegance of the people, Ma Botong took the former out of the Xihe Township neighborhood from the other side!
Later, under Ma Botong's guidance and explanation, Liu Laoliu and his party of more than ten people walked toward the endless wheat fields! There, the new immigrants in Xihe Village have been waiting for a long time! This middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, who looks older than Liu Laoliu and Ma Botong, although it is unclear
Bai, why would a big shot like the former come to this dirty and muddy wheat field? But that didn't stop him from standing there obediently, respectfully waiting for the former's questions! To be honest, this is the first time he has seen an official as big as Mr. Zhizhou. Normally, when he comes to any prefecture or county government office, he can be worshiped as a heavenly man by a small official in the county government. Now he suddenly meets Bi County. The official who was even older than the eldest master was so nervous that even his tone of voice became awkward!
"Are you the village leader of this village? Don't be nervous. He is not a monster with three heads and six arms. Just like you, He carries his head on two shoulders. It's no different! Come on, brothers, you can have cigarettes. Here is I have some good overseas shredded tobacco, smoke a bag and take it easy, and then have a good chat with someone..."
