Through the effort of politely greeting several old people in Tujia Village, Mrs. Jiang glanced at the venue layout of the Hundred Villages Conference without a trace, but she felt a little surprised in her heart.

In ordinary villages, relatives have always obeyed the dignity and humility of individuals. The patriarch and the elder sat at the top, and the men of the clan were arranged in order below to listen to the instructions. The elders don't ask, the young don't speak, and there are some rules that are very exquisite. Even if the elders in several villages have a joint meeting, it is also a seat for each one, and there are many rules on etiquette in the Q&A.

But now the venue layout of the Hundred Villages Conference is to encircle the chairs in several circles. Although he was sitting in a spacious chair in front of him, there were also people from several other villages who could talk and manage things behind him. After a cursory glance, they were all familiar faces, but they hadn't been seen for years......

Seeing that after he sat down, the originally noisy room quickly quieted down, and before Mrs. Jiang could open her mouth to ask a few old people in Tujia Village about the details of the Hundred Village Conference, Li Jiashun, who was standing in a circle surrounded by chairs, had already raised his voice and spoke: "You are all people who can be in charge of various villages in Qingle County, some are village chiefs, some are patriarchs, in their respective villages and villages, they are all uncrowned parents!" Today, I invited you to Tujia Village to hold a meeting of 100 villages, but it can really be regarded as a rare event in Qingle County! I, Li Jiashun, on behalf of the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army's Southern Hebei Military Division, welcome to all of you!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Ziqun and others standing beside Li Jiashun took the lead in slapping. After a moment of hesitation, the principals from all walks of life who participated in the Hundred Villages Conference gradually joined in the applause.

Smiling and waiting for the applause to gradually subside, Li Jiashun spoke again: "Since we have invited all the people who can be in charge of the villages, then we won't say much polite words, so as not to delay your efforts." Let's talk about the first one first thing - this time, in order to repel the devil's sweep, there are at least twenty or thirty villages that have been plagued by devils, most of which have been burned down and wells have been filled by ourselves. Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, the villagers who have returned to the village do not have a house to live in and a mouthful of clean water to drink. Therefore, our Eighth Route Army and Southern Hebei Military Sub-district held a meeting and came up with a plan - according to the order of first the big village and then the small village, digging wells first, and then building houses, to help the villages destroyed by devils in various places, and rebuild the houses for the winter. If you feel that there is something you don't understand and have ideas, then let's say it in front of the gong and the drum on the other side?"

Although Li Jiashun always had a smile on his face when he spoke, but for a long time after Li Jiashun finished speaking, none of the village leaders sitting in the room dared to answer......

The world is chaotic, and the soldiers are in trouble. In Qingle County, there are more than 100 large and small villages, and everyone has experienced the tragic past of bandits and soldiers. Although he had already dealt with the Eighth Route Army and witnessed the actions of the Eighth Route Army in distributing food and retreating from the enemy, the stubborn habits formed over the years still made the vast majority of the main characters be cautious - if one sentence is wrong, will the Eighth Route Army ......

As if accustomed to such a scene, Li Jiashun waited quietly for a moment before he opened his mouth and smiled at the silent village principals: "There is a saying in my hometown, to send books to Xiucai and pigs to butchers, what you can use is what you need!" Although the words are rough, I think the truth is correct. The big guy went out to help our Eighth Route Army fight devils, and it was hard to eat and sleep in the open for many days, and the Eighth Route Army helped the villagers rebuild their homes, which was originally a matter that should be shared. But if our Eighth Route Army does something with all its strength, the villagers say they are satisfied, but in fact they don't need it...... Not to mention that our Eighth Route Army has spent all its efforts in vain, the villagers are still living a difficult life! So I think we still have to say something, or I'm afraid that we will really answer the old saying - the blind man lights the lamp in vain!"

It seemed that Li Jiashun was right, and after hesitating for a moment again, the head of a small village with only seven or eight households stood up very timidly: "This....... Plum...... Commander, I understand the principle of digging a well first and then building a house. Why is it a big village first, and then a small village?"

Nodding kindly to the person in charge of the small village, Li Jiashun replied loudly: "At present, the villagers whose houses have been destroyed are borrowing everywhere, and it is better to say that the days are short, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and inconveniences." Don't talk about it, eating and drinking Lazar is a headache! Let's build a big village first, firstly, we can let as many villagers return to their homes as soon as possible, and reduce the burden of villagers in other villages as soon as possible. Second, it's also because of the manpower considerations during the reconstruction, after all, so many people are rooted in a small village, and they can't do anything, right?"

The chicken nodded like a peck of rice, and the person in charge of the small village replied very obediently: "That's the truth...... Although the villagers whose houses have been burned down at the moment are all living at the homes of relatives and friends, they have not suffered any grievances, but it is inconvenient for them to come down for a long time......

Looking around at the village leaders sitting around, Li Jiashun saw that no one had raised any opinions, so he continued to speak: "This second matter, but I have to ask all the village leaders first-in the past, when our villages encountered the scourge of devils, how big was the loss?" This time, we have to take precautions first, how big is the loss?"

With the example of the person in charge of the small village who took the lead in speaking, when Li Jiashun's voice just fell, the main figures in several villages who were much bolder suddenly rushed to shout: "Our Youfang Village is backed by the Qingbang River, facing the road in front, and the little devil can rush into our Youfang Village in the blink of an eye by relying on cars and steamboats." Don't talk about things that have been far away in the past, just this year's hard work, our Youfang Village has called the devils to rob several large trucks of good soybean oil, and even the beaten soybean cakes have been snatched, saying that they are taking it back to feed the livestock! The strong man in the village called Qiang to repair the turret and dig the trench, and he didn't say anything about the tiredness, and only five were killed! There are also two big girls, who are born to be plagued by little devils...... In these years, the eldest girl called the devil to break her body, so where else is there a way to live? All of them jumped the green python river in front of a village! But now this time there is a precaution, and it is some houses in the village that are destroyed by the devils. Although we are still distressed in our hearts, the lives of the whole village have been saved, right? The soybean oil and soybean cakes worth a few dollars have also been buried first, and when the houses in the village are built again, although life is more difficult, they can still live!"

"The situation in Modou Village is not far behind! Just because our Modou Village is a famous carpenter place in Qingle County, every time the devil comes back, he will catch Ding Ding all over the village to work for them. After the work is done, a big son doesn't give it, and he doesn't even care about food! In order to repair the Sanchawan Devil Turret, we filled in three lives in Modou Village. There is no pillar in the house, and the life of the orphan and widow is ...... This time, the Eighth Route Army gave the news in advance, and Mrs. Jiang sent someone to spread the word, none of the more than 200 people in our Modou Village were injured, and even the wood stored in the village was hidden first, and the house was not damaged, but the little devil burned a few sets of door panels and window frames. As soon as Ming'er returns to the village, our Modou Village's own craftsmanship will be brought out, and maybe we will be able to call the villagers to live in their own houses on the same day! What's that...... I'll say one more thing here-if the Eighth Route Army builds houses for each village, and can use this bit of craftsmanship in my Modou Village, my Modou Village needs people to send people and materials, and I don't need wages, just give money for materials and manage a hybrid noodle dry food!"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, my Qingyan Village was originally a small village that was so poor that it sounded, and my ancestors relied on the Qingyan mined on the mountain behind the village, relying on the craftsmanship of stonemasons to make a living. Since the devil came, my Qingyan village has suffered a big disaster, and every month I have to send dozens of trucks of polished Qingyan to the devil for nothing, so that the devil can repair the turret and build a stronghold. After only a few years of hard work, the hill behind the stockade was called a big gap, and the stonemasons in the stockade were tired and died! But since the Eighth Route Army came, the devil was busy dealing with the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't come to Qingyan Village to urge the polished Qingyan for a few days! Let's get to the end of the story, let's Qingyan Village is good at reading the Eighth Route Army in our hearts! I'm also patting my chest here and saying - the Eighth Route Army wants to help the villagers build houses, and the best stones, I have a bag in Qingyan Village, and the rice will be done!"

"I don't count the fine accounts, just say that the five good cattle in our village, if there is no Eighth Route Army to report in advance, plus Mrs. Jiang sent people to urge several times, I am afraid that I will definitely not be able to escape the scourge of the little devils! Tell me to say, it's good that the Eighth Route Army is here, to protect the territory and the people, and to do good things for our folks in Qingle County!"

In the midst of some chaotic shouting, Mrs. Jiang turned her head to look at the village leaders who were shouting very energetically, but after a while, she lowered her eyes slightly, and took out a silent posture of looking at her nose and nose, and was silent as if an old monk was in a steady.

In the room, Li Jiashun and Li Ziqun also noticed Mrs. Jiang's silent appearance. Glancing at each other, Li Jiashun waited until all the village leaders had finished saying what they wanted to say, and then said to the old lady Jiang in a harmonious voice: "Taigong, do you also talk about the old man?"
