Batches of people and horses, one by one dusty leaders from all over the country, rushed into the gate of the old camp in Huluyu one after another, on the gate of the village, the brothers who meticulously stood guard and patrolled, looking at these familiar or unfamiliar figures, the enthusiasm in their hearts was like the sun and fire in July, and the steaming and burning. Although they are not decision-makers, they already feel that the invasion army will usher in another life-and-death battle.

With the return of the leaders of various places, the originally cold and silent cave has become lively again, the brazier in the middle of the cave has been removed, and a rough log table has been placed in the vacant place, and the third aunt on the table brought a basket of fruits from the mountain, as well as a bunch of fashionable french fries, and there is a circle of coarse porcelain bowls on the side of the table, Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao carried a large kettle full of herbal tea, shuttled between them, and filled each large bowl that lacked water. The captain of the old eighth team scattered all over the place stood by the wall even harder, all of them either sarcastically mocking each other or showing themselves, but they couldn't say it, but they also had to use force, even Zheng Hao, who had a straight face, also joined it, and shouted with Chen Ce from time to time, Guo Tianxing was happy to see a few of them who usually looked orthodox The three of them were so excited, so they applauded and Chen Che and other men next to them, which made the third uncle and the fourth old man blow their beards and stare at each other, but the result is often counterproductive, one by one, shouting grievances, shouting grievances more happily, Even Chunlan, who was a lady in front of Lu Shi, threw away the people in her eyes and joined in this hot fight, how Aunt Ren coughed, how to make the reminder of her eyes useless.

However, there were too many people to do anything, so some people had to take a stool and sit on the flat dam outside the cave, the scorching sun, the people who were sweating profusely, stretched their necks through the open window and poked their heads in, regardless of the battle line. Lu Shi sat in his seat and listened to everyone.

The window of the cave is open, here, look forward, the distant mountains and trees are in full view, the terraced fields on the hill, have been planted with summer grain, a good rain last month, let the seedlings of summer grain grow vigorously, in the green of that day, there are old people and children during the patrol, one is to see the crops not to be spoiled by hares and boars, at the same time, also along with digging some wild vegetables, go home to make a meal to chew.

In the field now, it is rare to see strong men and women.

This agricultural slack time is a good time for the militia training in the base area, going south to Weinan to complete his set goal of Lu Shi, this is a task that everyone knows, but now I feel that it has expanded to seven counties, and the garrison needs to be increased, and the future big war will be together, and the soldiers must also be expanded, which is what cannot but be done in this troubled era, and must be done, then, a large part of the qualified militia will be upgraded to the garrison, and those garrison troops will be upgraded to war soldiers in turn, so it is indispensable to train the militia to do a good job of reserve soldiers.

The reason why women do not appear in the fields is that factories have sprung up all over the base area, and there is a shortage of manpower, so some healthy women have entered the factories to participate in labor, and as for the old legend of women, the door is not out of the door, and the custom of not stepping out of the door, under the severe external pressure and the strong internal demand for labor, has become no longer important.

At the same time, the war is about to begin, the ranks are about to expand, and the production of clothing tents, swords, guns, rattan armor must be vigorously produced, all of which require manpower.

There is really no way, in order to accomplish the strategic goals set when the army was first raised, and at the same time want to expand the population base, we can only expand the occupied areas again, expand the base areas, and for the sake of the population, a war of expansion is imperative.

Looking at the sky and looking at the noisy brothers, Lu Shi had to knock on the table again and again and shout, "It's a meeting, it's a meeting." But it had little effect, which made Zhao Zi, who was sitting next to him, smile bitterly and shook his head, knowing that Lu Shi was kind, but this was already a kind of bottom line, if the court in the future was like this, wouldn't it be messed up? However, now that he has a special identity, he can't say much, so he has to remind King Chuang when it is appropriate in the future.

The third uncle was angry, and when he said that the big bowl was raised hard, he was about to drop the cup, but he was really reluctant to look at the big bowl in his hand, so he picked up the stool under his buttocks, and smashed it on the table without saying a word, with a loud noise, which made everyone stunned and shut up obediently.

"King Chuang said, now the meeting is held." The third uncle roared like a tiger, and this really announced the start of the conference.

At the beginning of the meeting, it has always been Lu Shi who set the tone first, everyone spoke freely, according to Lu Shi's habits, stood up and wanted to walk in the middle of the ground, but when he looked at the full heads inside and outside the house, he gave up. The third uncle wanted to blast people out, but when he looked at the scorching sun outside, he gave up.

Originally, this kind of large-scale meeting should have been held in the original hall of Huluyu, but the current hall has become a classroom for a crash course in government affairs, and it is also crowded, so everyone still squeezes into the cave of Lu Shi, a bachelor.

As soon as the meeting began, the political officer Chen Ce poured bitter water first.

Gao Yingxiang invaded the border, and the army escorted Gao Yingxiang to Shanxi with great military strength, which can also be regarded as the language of Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi-beggar-beggar-neighbor, it's not that Chen Ce is incapable, the normal government affairs of the seven counties are just half an eye in front of Chen Ce, but these seven counties are different from the regular seven county government affairs, in fact, all the changes and explorations of the entire emerging regime when they were just rising, and the set of things implemented by Lu Shi is definitely a fresh topic for the scholars who are dedicated to the sages and sages, many things, It's really not something that Chen Ce and others can understand and implement, and many things still need Lu Shi to instruct.

"King Chuang, now the crash course on government affairs has been open for a month, and there are only a few of us old people who are lecturing, and Mr. Wu Tao Li, Zheng Hao and others are far away, it is really inconvenient to run around, in fact, this is me and Zhao Xing staring at the two, it is really not good."

Wu Tao, Zheng Hao and others apologized to Chen Ce one after another, but they only apologized, and they did not promise what to do in the future, how to do it? Too busy to do it at all.

What Chen Ce complained about, in fact, is also the truth, the government affairs crash course opened, as the head of the first school, Lu Shi, really did not take a class, just took some time to write some lesson plans, the lesson plans are not the current policy guidance, that is Chen Ce, Zhao Xing and others, Lu Shi wrote mainly for the landlords and rich households policy implementation issues, in the previous life, Mao Taizu in the treatment of these rich gentry, too radical, the implementation of more left-leaning, so, the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, can only withdraw from the Soviet area. The failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, the attack of a million troops outside, the blind command of the internal seizure of power is on the one hand, and the rebellion of the landlords inside is the main reason, so that the Red Army is far away, and the regiment returns to the hometown to kill, this killing, that is, to the liberation of the whole country for many years, the old Soviet area has not eased its vitality, now, Lu Shi's own government affairs class, most of the people accepted are hot-blooded young people in the base, there is blood, passion is a good thing, but under the passion of blood, it is the easiest to go to extremes, the teacher of later generations, this life will not forget, so, Lu Shi focuses on the correction of the implementation of the policy, and it can be counted as a matter of prevention. Turning his gaze to Chen Ce again, he asked with a smile, "How many homeless people have we recruited in the past few months?" How many of them are strong? ”

was interrupted by Lu Shi and others to complain, talking about business, Chen Ce bowed slightly, and after respectfully bowing his hand, he reported like a few family treasures: "Back to King Chuang, at the end of June and the beginning of July, it is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, and it is also the critical time for the imperial court to start the Cui Kexia tax, and a large number of displaced people have been produced in other places, even in the Weinan Plain, there have been displaced people who have begun to flee into the base area, but there have been some accidents in the north, so the recruitment of displaced people is not as good as we expected. ”

Lu Shiyi frowned and asked strangely, "What's going on in the north?" ”

Zhao Xing hurriedly took over Chen Ce's topic: "Back to the king, there are two reasons that affect the entry of the displaced people in the north, the first is our reason, the counties in the north have been almost recruited by us before, the second is Gao Yingxiang's reason, when Gao Yingxiang roared in the north, it should be coerced, and almost all the people who should be killed were slaughtered, so on the top, there are not many people left, and the third, after Hong Chengchou took the throne, he also realized the importance of Dingkou to us, and changed the practice of driving the displaced people into the base area in the original Yue Harmony, It was ordered that the flow of people should be strictly controlled in all parts of the county, and that no one person or dog should be allowed to enter our seven counties. ”

Chen Ce waited for Zhao Xing to finish speaking, and couldn't help but sigh worriedly.

Lu Shi also slowly knocked his fist on the table, originally, when Yue Hesheng was in charge, he adopted the mentality of celebrating the influx of homeless people into the base area, and when the homeless people left, there would be no more poles to make trouble in the local area, beggar-thy-neighbor, this time they found a place, they still thought viciously, go, go, go to Lu Shi, in this way, let Lu Shi carry a huge population burden, countless mouths, eat up, eat him Lu Shi.

But Hong Chengchou was far-sighted, saw the drawbacks, and began to strictly control the population, not allowing a single person to enter the seven counties, and now, I don't know how many people are starving to death at home.

Thinking about the tragic situation in the Northland, everyone fell silent.

"The absence of displaced people has seriously affected the development and construction of our base areas." Mr. Li, who hurried back, began to talk about the current difficulties, "Counting on our own multiplication, that is more than ten years later, so it is already a top priority to introduce policies to recruit Dingkou and fill the labor gap." ”

Lu Shi nodded, agreed, but the introduction of a policy to recruit Dingkou, it is not an easy thing, the official army will control the north, the south of the Weinan Plain was originally rich, even if this natural disaster **, there is a little chance of survival, the homeland is difficult to leave, this is rooted in the heart of every people's concept, as the so-called, things leave the hometown is expensive, people leave the hometown cheap, even if they starve to death in the homeland, they can also protect the ancestral tombs, besides, Weinan is the strategic purpose of the next step of development, recruiting the people to wander people, when everyone marches into Weinan after October, I have to persuade them to go back, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Mr. Zheng, how is your progress in recruiting displaced people in the northwest?" Pinning his hopes on the northwest, Lu Shi knew that the effect was not great.

"The northwest is sparsely populated, and at the same time, there are more alien races, and the solicitation effect is almost equal to nothing." Zheng Hao replied.

There is really no way, if you want to expand the population base, you can only start by expanding the occupied areas and expanding the base areas, for the sake of the population, a war of expansion is imperative.
