The next day, Xia Jun held a military parade, unified clothing, unified equipment, and neatly marched soldiers of the security regiment appeared in front of the squires of each village.

The demeanor of the soldiers of the security regiment amazed the squires of various villages, and in order to further familiarize these squires with the security regiment, Xia Jun also showed them the military law of the security regiment.

After reading the military law, the squires of each village were immediately relieved.

At this time, they can be sure that this is an armed force with good military discipline, and this armed force can also suppress bandits for Xixiang.

No one wants to be kidnapped one day and then asked for thousands of silver dollars.

Later, Xia Jun showed these squires the Makqin heavy machine gun, and the powerful fire of the Makqin machine gun directly broke a tree as thick as a bucket, and those squires were extremely amazed.

The Makqin heavy machine gun is a weapon that has appeared for a long time, but in this rural place, where have these squires seen it, they are naturally amazed.

In terms of equipment, the ordinary Qing army is definitely not an opponent, and compared with the training, except for the new army, the other units of the Qing army basically have not trained much, and their combat effectiveness is very low. The Manchus placed most of the new army in the north, and there was basically no new army in the south.

This brief military parade reassured the squires present that the Jianzhou Security Corps did have enough strength, and local self-governance should not be a problem. And Xia Jun also hinted to them that the number of security regiments would be further expanded.

Most of the gentry had already agreed to autonomy at this time, and they were also anxious to get rid of the burden of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, except for those who were officials who could maintain their family business, other groups were very easy to break their families, even those landlords were similar, but the risk was less.

And being an official can be said to be the most profitable and most prestigious profession in the Qing Dynasty, three years of 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect's mansion, this sentence means, even if you become a prefect and do not embezzle, just collect income such as filial piety, you can get 100,000 silver, if you are greedy, it will be even more unbelievable.

It is not so much that the hardship of the people at the end of the Qing Dynasty was caused by the invasion of foreign powers, but rather that the administrative system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely [***] caused by the corruption of the late Qing Dynasty, which had reached the point of being completely unsupervised and had evolved into open corruption.

Therefore, the local squires did not welcome the government, and the head of Xixiang was controlled by Xia Jun, causing these squires to collectively support the autonomy of Xixiang.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jun drove a truck and took a group of squires to Shiniu Mountain.

At this time, the five acres of rice fields under Shiniu Mountain have become golden, and the rice in the rice field can be harvested.

A group of squires were amazed, and after getting out of the car, they rushed to the edge of the field to watch.

Xia Jun took out a digital video camera that was redeemed from the system at this time, and shot at the rice field, this harvest scene naturally had to be filmed, and it had to be used for propaganda!

Color cameras have also appeared in this era, but the colors of color cameras in this year are not so complete, they should be three-color or five-color, and Xia Jun uses ...... Number.

Lin Debao found villagers from Tangkeng Village and began to harvest rice in the field.

Xia Jun continued to shoot with a digital camera, as villagers cut down the rice and then smashed it on a wooden board with bundles of rice, the grains on which gradually fell off after repeated smashing.

When Xia Jun saw this scene, he found that the productivity of the countryside still needs to be improved, and it is not possible to harvest so hard.

A group of squires also rolled up their sleeves to help on the side, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, five acres of rice were quickly harvested.

"Weigh how many."

"Yes, weigh it quickly."

"I think there should be more than a thousand catties."

"Isn't that nonsense?"

A group of squires gathered around the place, and at this time a scale as thick as a child's arm was brought up, and with the efforts of several strong men, baskets of rice gradually weighed in weight.

After some statistics, Lin Debao said excitedly: "1,300 catties." ”

"Wow!"

"1,300 pounds!"

"Ordinary rice seeds can grow 600 catties, which is good."

"yes!"

"Listen to me." Xia Jun raised his hand at this time and pressed it, and the squires hurriedly quieted down, looked at Xia Jun, and saw Xia Jun say sadly: "Today, there are 40,000 people from all over the world who can't eat enough, and we are lucky in Xixiang, because we have high-yield rice seeds, and they are unique to our Xixiang. ”

"Okay."

The squires immediately applauded, Xia Jun's words were indeed beautiful, he didn't say anything about the security group, but said, 'We Xixiang', and immediately brought the relationship closer.

Moreover, those squires also heard that Xia Jun was willing to provide them with this high-yield rice seed.

Of course, Xia Jun still has nothing to say, if he wants to plant his high-yield rice, at least give him a hundred kilograms of rice per mu! Otherwise, he would not have died at a loss.

And now that Xixiang is tax-free, Xia Jun still has to raise soldiers!

Under the lure of Xia Jun, the squires of all villages signed the "Xixiang Autonomy Declaration" drafted by Xia Jun on the same day, and the Xixiang Autonomous Council was formally established.

The number of members of the parliament is set at 70, and the parliament building is located in Long Village, and the assembly is usually held on the fifteenth day of each month, and sometimes an emergency meeting is held.

In the first parliament, Xia Jun threw out an executive bill.

This bill is mainly to classify the villages, and six administrative villages are designated, and below the administrative villages are natural villages, and this bill was almost unanimously passed.

Then Xia Jun came up with a second bill, which decided to establish a primary school in each of the six administrative villages and a middle school in Longcun.

These six primary schools and one secondary school will provide free education to the children of Saigo.

As for the requirements...... A group of squires discussed for most of the day, and decided to gather this year's field endowment, and the number of each village was reported in one report, adding up to nearly 10,000 silver dollars.

In the end, most of the squires agreed to this proposal and used the 10,000 silver dollars to establish Xixiang Education.

Xia Jun was so happy that he thought that he had to pay for this education, but he didn't expect that these squires would solve it by themselves, education is the top priority, there is no talent without education, and if he wants to develop, education is very important.

Then a group of squires discussed for a long time, and decided to send someone to the field to hire a new school teacher, and the education in Xixiang would be handled in the same way as the new school.

At this time, the Confucian literati no longer had a legal status, and although the Confucian literati were dissatisfied, most of them would not insist on not allowing their children to go to new schools.

Xia Jun is naturally the principal of the middle school, and the model of Chairman Jiang, who has been a successful principal in modern times, is there, how can he not follow suit.

After the council, the squires went back.

Xia Jun called Zhang Sigou over at this time, Zhang Sigou is currently the squad leader in the regiment, Xia Jun has always been not very at ease with him, after all, Zhang Sigou's connections are there, and many soldiers in the regiment have a good relationship with him.

"Four dogs! Your name can't be on the table! I called you over today to give you a name. Xia Jun said to Zhang Sigou with a smile.

"Thank you, Captain, you have to pick something nice!" Zhang Sigou said happily, thinking that the head of the regiment named him, probably because he wanted to introduce him as a confidant, the head of the regiment is so capable, there is definitely a future for him to follow!

"If I think about it, let's call it Ji Yu! Zhang Jiyu. Xia Jun thought about it and casually took a name.

"Zhang Jiyu, Zhang Jiyu, this name is good, and my four dogs will be called Zhang Jiyu in the future." Zhang Sigou said excitedly.

At this time, Xia Jun said with a smile: "Of course, calling you over to pick a name is secondary, there is a very important task to be handed over to you." ”

"Please instruct the head of the regiment, and the four dogs will definitely complete the task." Zhang Sigou straightened his chest and tucked his abdomen and made a military salute.

"Good." Xia Jun nodded and said: "You also know that now that we are autonomous in Xixiang, the government will inevitably react, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, we still lack an intelligence network." We don't know when the Qing army will enter and which route to take, and once we fight with the government, although we will definitely not be defeated with our strength, we will deal with it very passively, just like a blind man. ”

Xia Jun paused and continued: "So what! To call you here today is to entrust you with this important task. From today onwards, you will be the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of our Jianzhou Security Corps, and you will receive 20 silver dollars a month. I'll give you another 5,000 silver dollars. ”

"Ahh Zhang Sigou listened to it, why did he suddenly become the director? And also the salary increase.

"Your task is to spread eyeliner in Jian'an and Jianyang, monitor the movements of officials, soldiers and bandits in real time, and report any disturbances immediately." Xia Jun said.

Zhang Sigou is very clever, not to mention that he has some culture, and he is a local, so he is the best candidate to form an intelligence department, and at the same time, Xia Jun's intention is also to transfer Zhang Sigou out of the army, lest he form a gang in the security regiment, and he will do it when he sleeps one day.

"The task is indeed difficult, do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"Yes, the four dogs promise to complete the task." In order to perform well, Zhang Sigou gritted his teeth and took it, but in fact, he was very bottomless in his heart, and he didn't know if he could do it.

The first watch arrives, tickets!
