138. Turning positive
Yang Bazhi continued, "I, Yang Bazhi, have been walking in the rivers and lakes for all these years, and now I have fallen into such a desolate situation, which is really lamentable." ”
"The mayor said that he should convince people with virtue. Yang Laoshi finally couldn't stand Yang Bazhi's chatter.
"What Brother Yang said is extreme!" Yang Bazhi nodded and said, "Being a man is naturally the first word of righteousness!"
"It was the mayor who said that. Yang honestly did not forget to correct.
"However, I want to say Brother Yang," Yang Ba pointed to him, "Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, with your ability, the world is so big, you can't go anywhere!"
What's more, if you and I join forces, we can defeat all the heroes in the world!"
Yang Laoshi shook his head vigorously after hearing this, someone not far away shouted that it was time to eat, he hooked his neck and glanced around, then he no longer paid attention to Yang Bazhi, and ran over first.
Ma San always listened to the conversation between the two people not far away, and after listening, he scolded a neuropathy and quickly caught up with Ji Mo.
Ji Mo held a branch in his hand, and threw it towards the grass spike by the river boredly, and the immature green grass seeds fell to the ground.
From time to time, birds took advantage of Ji Mo's inattention to swoop down from the sky and take away the grass seeds.
"What kind of bird is this?" There are so many birds in Dadongling that Ji Mo can't name them at all, "It's colorful, it's really beautiful." ”
"Mayor of the town, we don't have this bird in our hometown, and I don't know it. Ma San shook his head.
Ji Mo continued to walk forward, flicking the branches twice from time to time, and turned around to find that Ma San hadn't followed, standing behind in a daze, so he asked, "What are you doing, let's go." ”
Ma San pointed to the riverside road, "Mayor Town, I'll wait, you go first." ”
"You've got sharp eyes. Ji Mo took a closer look and found that a group of old ladies in the town were washing clothes by the river.
Ever since the security team erected wooden stacks and stone steps along the river, the town's ladies have gradually made it their go-to place for laundry.
Clothes are placed on stones or wooden boards, which can be stepped on with feet or hammered with mallets, which is very convenient.
More than a dozen old ladies, little daughters-in-law, and big girls were talking and laughing there, and the most conspicuous of them were naturally Qi Yuanjun and Zhang Yiru, who were graceful.
"Old pimple!" Wang Chun shouted at Ji Mo, attracting the attention of the people on the side, and they all looked towards Ji Mo.
"Sister, if you have something, just say it. Ji Mo walked over with a smile.
"You have to talk to that guy about Jia Haili, we're doing laundry here, what does he mean by driving the cattle here!" Wang Chun said angrily, "It's not good to go down, you have to go this way!"
"It's like, this dog thing is so annoying!"
"Old pimple, he dragged it very much, and he didn't listen to us at all. ”
“”
The women, you and I shouted at Jahaili.
"Okay, I'll talk to him when I get back. Ji Mo didn't care, he didn't think that Jia Haili had bad intentions, it was just that this old bachelor wanted to attract the attention of these women.
Apparently he succeeded.
Zhang Yiru stood up, shook the water in his hand and said to Ji Mo, "There are so many people in your town office all of a sudden, and there are still a few people whistling at us just now, so you are not a good person at first glance."
Old pimple, you'll have to watch closely.
Otherwise, I'll hang myself in front of your house, believe it or not?"
Ji Mo's eyes inadvertently swirled on her, and the copper buttons on the blue shirt were bulging, which was expected at first glance.
After taking another look at Zheshou, he could only swallow his saliva and said dryly, "Don't worry, there will be no mistakes, and I will definitely talk to them when I go back." ”
Since the men and horses of the Northwest Army followed him to the ancient town, he really didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and let the people of the security team look at them firmly.
Spring is the peak period for the south of the ancient town, and this year is no exception, even more than in previous years, but how many more people there are, because no one counts, there is no way to know.
The business of the old Taojia Hotel is naturally better than in previous years.
The warehouse is now empty, and Ji Mo uses the hotel where the crowds gather as a new source of information.
If you have nothing to do, you have to bring Ma San here.
Here, Ji Mo finally confirmed the news that the Northwest Army had occupied Vladivostok.
Moreover, it is said that the Northwest Army has opened up a land route from the Northwest Province to Vladivostok, and Vladivostok is connected with the Northwest Province as one.
Since then, the province of Northridge has been unable to supply Vladivostok by land and sea, and the port of Vostochny has become a lonely place.
Northridge Province had to abandon Vostochny and was forced to withdraw not only the garrison, but also the government and police agencies.
The Northwest Army annexed a large port city like Vladivostok, with a population of one million, and before it could digest it, it didn't have time to take care of the port of the East for a while.
What's more, Dongfang Port is on his side, and he can take it whenever he wants.
Therefore, the fiery Dongfang Port, which was robbed by the two parties before, has become a borderless land that no one cares about, and it is left to fend for itself among the mountains and mountains.
Ji Mo always felt too magical.
However, the news was of little use to him, and he was still worried.
He has rarely gone to the town office, but for the official letter of the Dadongling Office, he still goes every morning, and even sometimes goes for a stroll in the afternoon when he catches ducks.
Therefore, if you come frequently, you can't avoid trouble.
All day long, I was troubled by the struggle of the displaced people to open up wasteland.
In the ancient town of Sugu, there is an unwritten rule in the reclamation of wasteland, that is, whoever occupies it first will belong to whomever it is.
However, after the old rich man in the town ran away, the grassroots social power structure, dominated by the gentry, collapsed, and the previous rules and principles were useless.
Some displaced people gather together by blood and geographical ties, and use violence, coercion, and detention to pick quarrels and provoke troubles, fire and fights in towns or villages, and seize wasteland.
Although there are no dead people, the situation is getting more and more serious, and the little daughter-in-law doesn't dare to go out.
Even those who steal chickens and dogs have begun to form gangs, and there is an organization and a division of labor.
This is very distressing to the people of the town.
had to find Ji Mo, and many people were even willing to take the initiative to pool money for the security team.
Ji Moben didn't bother to care about these things, but the bitter lord came to the door, and there were so many people every day who couldn't get rid of him, which made him annoyed.
had to reluctantly carry out a round of "anti-gang and evil" special operations in the town.
First, let Fengsheng and Uzan take their students to paint white walls in the town and countryside.
"Sweep away the evil and benefit the people. ”
"Don't be afraid of the underworld forces, and actively report and expose. ”
"Surrendering is the only way out for the underworld forces. ”
“”
Ji Mo has never eaten pork, and he has also seen pigs run, so he first got out the momentum farmers and mobilized the people to participate!
For those who only relied on personal force to seize cultivated land, Ji Mo asked the mediation team composed of Yang Bazhi, Tian Hanmin, Fang Xiaodao, Bao Datou and others to carry guns to the countryside to serve, insisting on convincing people with morality.
As for the underworld forces that had already formed a crowd, Qi Bei and Baoqing led more than 20 people to go deep into the countryside and deep mountains within a radius of 100 miles to wipe them out.
There is no prison in the town, some people are caught and have no land, Ji Mo punished them to do hard labor, and the tuntian of the security team is not afraid that no one will plant it.
When Ji Mo was sitting at the door feeling quite relieved by his wisdom and martial arts, Qiu Wu stretched out his hand towards him.
"What?" he asked curiously.
"Give money. Qiu Wudao.
Ji Mo said in surprise, "I don't miss your money, what money do you give?"
Qiu Ling, who was on the side, reminded, "My uncle used to take money from Shenhe. ”
"You sank people?" Ji Mo was startled.
"There was a scoundrel in Jinshandi who harmed two girls one after another, and one of them committed suicide without thinking about it," Qiu Ling explained, "My uncle came back in the morning, and he just went to Shenhe with my father." ”
"Hey, yes!" Ji Mo's teeth itched, "But, I have a suggestion, let's not throw it into the river at every turn in the future, pollute the water source, there are still many people downstream who use water."
You say not?"
Qiu Wu said angrily, "Then what do you say?"
Ji Mo said, "If you are buried alive, I have no opinion at all." ”
"You dig a pit?" Qiu Wu said with a smile, "That's hard work, I can't do it." Okay, hurry up and get the money, I still have something to do now. ”
"No money. Ji Mo said with certainty, "You are for the elimination of the villagers in the township, why are you embarrassed to accept money?"
Qiu Wudao, "Aren't there many people in the township who donate money to you?"
Ji Mo shook his head and said, "One piece or two, there are no hundred oceans in total, what is enough, like Baoqing, they go to the countryside to make money." ”
Qiu Wen suddenly said, "Give me ten banknotes, the rules can't be broken." ”
"Okay. Ji Mo asked Ma San to hand over the money, he could refuse Qiu Wu, but he was not too embarrassed to refuse Qiu Wen, "Don't ask me for it in the future." ”
After the two brothers left, he continued to sit in a daze at the door holding the teacup.
The official letter he was waiting for had not yet arrived.
He was completely impatient, and the next day he simply did not go to the town office, but opened another piece of land, planted cabbage, radish, and cabbage, and had to hurry up to plant, after all, the time suitable for sowing and harvesting here is only a few months in a year, and by the beginning of October, there is basically nothing.
Wearing shorts, bare-chested, carrying a wooden bucket and watering eggplant seedlings, suddenly his ankle jumped, and he reached out and patted it at random, and it was two mosquitoes.
It is not only human beings who enjoy the gifts of nature, but also mosquitoes, in the spring and summer, they are more active than people, and many are unguardable, especially in some sparsely populated old forests.
The last time the Northwest Army was defeated and fled together, they trekked through mountains and rivers, and if it weren't for the experienced people who boiled birch bark tar and smeared their whole bodies, even if they were not bitten to death by mosquitoes, they would have been boiled to death because they couldn't sleep.
"Grandma, a bear, sooner or later Lao Tzu will massacre you!" Ji Mo really hated these sharp-mouthed mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes in the south were simply little brothers compared to them!
"Mayor Town!" Ma San kept waving a piece of paper in his hand when he ran over.
"What?" Ji Mo took it and looked at it casually, this was the official letter from the Dadongling Office that he was looking forward to day and night, "Am I becoming a regular?"
The main content is that after the recommendation of the former mayor Liang Qishi, he was officially promoted to the mayor of Sugu Town, Dadongling Office.
