Liu Pei nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the guard's approach. What I did was to make a promise and express my satisfaction. For Liu Pei, one more slave and one less slave are simply inconsequential. This opens up a breakthrough and makes things easier to make more sense. That's what I can really understand.

Before Liu Pei could speak, he had been standing aside Huo Changsheng and said, "Xie Lao Fu'er!" You have to be a man with your conscience, don't talk nonsense! ”

This is clearly looking for death. The guard next to him raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, kicking him all the way away! After speaking, he said: "Dashuai hasn't spoken yet, where is your turn to speak?" ”

The villager surnamed Xie was really surprised to see it! It seems that the king knows that the surname Huo is not a good thing, and the villager surnamed Xie said: "The people standing over there are all his relatives and friends. He withheld our rations. Let us give him free work, build a house for his family and farm the land......"

Through the stammering words of the villagers, Liu Pei understood one thing. It was Huo Changsheng who relied on a few relatives of his family, relying on his family's status as a free citizen, and he trained these villagers to be obedient by beating them and deducting rations. has become the undisputed overlord in the village. And some of the villagers have been seriously injured by them.

Liu Pei asked: "But I have already arranged for the patrol family to patrol regularly, and every village will go, why don't you tell them these things?" ”

Villager Xie said: "Those patrol soldiers have been here. But they ignored us. They don't necessarily believe us. And every time those soldiers came to the village, Huo Changsheng entertained them with good wine and food. So they have a good relationship, and we don't dare to tell them the truth. ”

Liu Pei was so angry when he heard this, he gritted his teeth! Subsequently, Liu Pei asked in detail about the performance of the village chief and his relatives and friends since the construction of the village. It turned out that this Huo Changsheng saw an opportunity when he was in the disaster camp. He encouraged his relatives to take the initiative to take the initiative to manage the victims. The other victims did not want to cause trouble, and when they saw that they were outnumbered, they obeyed their management. Therefore, Huo Changsheng was valued by his family.

In the camps, hundreds of families in each camp have to deal with tens of thousands of victims, and the pressure is extremely high, and there is no way to screen these victims one by one. Therefore, seeing that he managed the victims well, he promoted him to become a free man, and he appointed him as the head of the village. It was also agreed that his relatives would be resettled.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he revealed his true colors, and under the pretext that these villagers were slaves, he really used them as slaves. When the patrol came, he was foolish with good words and entertained with good wine and food. When the family saw that there was no accident in the village, they ignored the others and were fooled by him.

After hearing this, Liu Pei arranged for several families to take the villagers surnamed Xie to the homes of those people to search carefully, and at the same time

Several villagers' homes were also randomly searched. The family reported that the families had a lot of food and that all the canned luncheon meat was in their homes. As for the other villagers, there is not much food in their homes at all.

After listening to the report, Liu Pei patted the villager surnamed Xie and said, "What you said is very good, I am very satisfied." From this day onwards, I will remove all of you as slaves and appoint you as the head of this village, and you will do that well! ”

Xie Laofu was suddenly smashed in the face by this big pie, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned. Then he knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted loudly: "The king is wise! ”

Other villagers also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Pei, shouting that the king was wise! After Liu Pei picked up Xie Laofu, he said, "I'm not as wise as you say. If I had been wise, you would not have suffered such sin. But I hope you don't become like him. ”

Liu Pei turned his head and said to the few families who were already in a daze: "If you break my rules, you will be punished." Beat them all into eternal slaves! As for Huo Changsheng, he was directly beheaded for public display, so that people in various villages could take a look! ”

The guards said yes and pounced on them. The families were so frightened that they kowtowed to the ground and wept loudly. But the guards didn't care about that, they directly dragged Huo Changsheng out and pressed him to the ground and beheaded him! Then he carried his hair in a bun and lifted his head high on a wooden pole.

When the villagers saw Huo Changsheng beheaded, they all shouted excitedly. Liu Pei then comforted the villagers with kind words, telling them that if they work hard, they will have the opportunity to return to their nationality in the future. Then he left under the reluctant gaze of the villagers.

Although Lupe left, he was no longer in the mood to go on patrol. He thought of the villagers just now, and he remembered those people in Lu Xun's pen. Both mourn its misfortune and hate it. But do they really not earn? It's that every time they struggle, they get hit harder, so they don't want to struggle anymore.

Another reason is the reason why people's wisdom has not been opened. Among these villagers, there are people who can't read big characters, and those who can read the book (yellow calendar) are all capable people! Therefore, this strengthened Liu Peixing's determination to run education.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Fang Degang received the news and came out. He asked strangely, "Dashuai, didn't you say you were going out to inspect?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Liu Pei sighed and recounted what happened today. In the end, Liu Pei said: "Brother Guiren, from today onwards, I will send you the people from the guard camp. Take one of your officers every five and visit all the villages and garrisons. You must really go to the villagers to learn the truth. What do I want to see what is going on in these villages? In particular, it is necessary to carefully check the village chiefs and militia captains to see if there is any dereliction of duty on their part. ”

As soon as Fang De saw Liu Pei's expression, he immediately agreed and began to prepare. Soon, teams of people were sent out. Liu Pei sat in the camp and waited for news.

Then the news came back one by one. Liu Pei and Fang Degang were relieved to see these news. Overall, the following situation is satisfactory. However, there are some problems. A number of village chiefs and militia captains have seen cases of eating too much and taking too much, but it is not serious. But in a few villages, there was a big problem. The most serious one is that the new village chief actually talked to the militia captain, and the two of them worked together to enslave and oppress the villagers!

This made Liu Pei extremely angry! For the family that he brought out single-handedly, Liu Pei still trusts it. Unexpectedly, someone betrayed him.

As soon as Fang De saw Liu Pei's anger, he persuaded him: "Handsome." When the water is clear, there are no fish! Something like this can't be avoided, and the handsome don't have to be too angry. ”

Liu Pei pointed to the questionnaire in his hand and said, "How can people be greedy to this extent? I still know this militia captain. At the beginning, his family was extremely poor, and he couldn't even eat enough food a few times a year! Since following me, his family's life has been much easier. This time, according to his exploits, he was able to get 50 acres of land. That's a number he couldn't have imagined before! But what did he do? Enslaving villagers, cultivating wasteland without permission, deducting rations, buying and selling grain! Has he forgotten the time when he was poor? ”

Fang Degang said: "People's hearts are like this, they are always insatiable. There's no way around it. But what is this handsome man going to do? ”

Hearing Fang Degang ask, Liu Pei still hesitated. After all, this family has been following him for a long time, and he is also very brave in battle. But in the end, Liu Pei gritted his teeth and said: "Behead the public!" However, his family is not affected and can inherit his acres. There are two other things that Brother Guiren needs to do quickly, and he must do it solidly. ”

Fang Degang arched his hand and said, "Commander, please speak." ”

Liu Pei said: "The first thing is to implement the inspection system as soon as possible. I will instruct Liu Jiang's intelligence department to cooperate with you. I will also send people from the guard battalion to conduct random inspections. Another thing to do is to set up a school in the village as soon as possible. At the very least, the villagers should have the idea that something happened to the official. ”

Fang Degang looked embarrassed when he heard this request, and said, "The first request is very easy to do. The second thing I can only say is to do my best. Because there are not many people available to me, and there are not enough people who can go down and be gentlemen. ”

Liu Pei said: "I still have a way. The orphans I gathered at the beginning are barely usable, so let them serve under you. This way you can squeeze some manpower out. ”

Fang Degang thought for a moment and agreed. asked Liu Pei to write a warrant to transfer people. He'd seen those orphans before, and they were all half-grown, but they could be used.
