Lu Yuan and the others didn't know that they had already been targeted by bandits before they really set foot in their own territory.

Along the way, a group of people climbed mountains and waded through water, after several days, finally came to a mountain beam, the surrounding deciduous trees stood bare, more than a dozen or twenty dilapidated houses, the streets were potholed, and the howling cold wind was blowing in the ears, which was even more desolate than the ordinary small villages.

"This is the county seat of Trojan Horse County?"

Wang Mazhuan, Yang Zongman and others looked left and right, and their mood was like a dilapidated house in the cold wind, and their hearts were cold.

"It should be here, right? Anyway, there are a little more people around here and there is a place with the word Trojan horse, and this is it......" The old farmer who was hired to lead the way looked at the road with a blank eye.

"Thank you!"

Lu Yuan threw a piece of Guangyang to the old farmer, and laughed: "What, as for being so disappointed?" The conditions here are a little worse, but they are not useless - you see, at least our small county town, we don't have to worry about being attacked by devils - there is no need for sentries, as long as the little devils appear seven or eight miles away, we can find out at a glance! ”

Isn't it, it's all bare, and there's nowhere to hide it.

"Captain Lu seems to have a bamboo in his chest!"

Luo Qinghu laughed and teased: "Although this place is very desolate, I think that with the ability of the head of the regiment, I will definitely make this place a paradise on earth!" ”

Then he couldn't stop laughing, because he found that Lu Yuanwang Ma Gong and the others, as well as his subordinates, were all rolling their eyes and looking at him with stupid expressions, so he shut up with a stupid face, and spit out a mouthful full of sand.

"Battalion Commander Yang, take someone to understand the situation, Battalion Commander Wang, find a way to find a place, let's settle down first, I don't need to teach you any of this, right?" The road is far away.

"Yes, Captain!"

Yang Zongman and Wang Mazhuan were a little happy at this time, and went with the two platoon gang members, and the big bear grinned on the side: "Why can the two of them be the battalion commander, and I can only be the company commander?" ”

Niu Pimple was very satisfied: "I can be a company commander at only seventeen now, and in a few years, maybe I can be a regiment commander!" ”

"Look at the pimple - people have to learn to be content, you know?" The road is far from being angry.

Luo Qinghu and the others laughed strangely on the side, there were five people in a regiment, a regiment commander, two battalion commanders, two company commanders, and not even a soldier, this was simply the funniest thing they had ever encountered in the world.

"Regiment leader, the people in the county town have gathered, please give the regiment commander a lecture!"

Yang Zongman came back to report that Wang Mazhuan had also returned, and found a half-collapsed dilapidated temple at the head of the village, barely able to shelter from the wind, and now it has become the temporary headquarters of the regiment.

"This place has been changed to a town, and it will be Trojan County in the future!"

Lu Yuan coughed dryly and said: "I am Lu Yuan, I came to garrison Muma County on the order of Chairman Jiang, and I will inevitably live with you day and night in the future, if there is any work that is not in place, I hope you will bear with me......."

The voice was clear and majestic, but it was a pity that the citizens of No. 30 or 40 counties who listened to him were hunched their necks and hands and looked dazed, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Applause!"

Luo Qinghu shouted, took the lead in applauding, and the scene finally sounded the applause of weak and sparse cheering, which was regarded as the completion of the first executive meeting since the opening of Trojan County.

"I'm the head of this village...... Zhang Zaixian, head of the regiment, you can call me Lao Zhang......"

A dry old man finally walked out, and said pitifully with a puzzled face: "Commander Lu, are you mistaken, in our place, the poor don't even bother to rob the bandits, how can the chairman think of opening a county here?" ”

"I'm sure it's here, you can't be mistaken!"

Lu Yuan smiled dryly: "Village Chief Zhang, I want to ask, how many families and how many people are there in this county?" ”

"This Trojan horse...... County, the land is barren, it can't feed many people at all, a radius of dozens of miles, there should be a total of hundreds of families, the number of people has not been counted, everyone is digging in the soil, there is not enough food, there is really no extra money......" Zhang Zaixian said, with pleading in his dim old eyes, obviously thinking that Lu Yuan and others were here to collect taxes and scrape the land.

"Village Chief Zhang, don't worry, I'm not the kind of corrupt official you think!"

Lu Yuan said: "I came here, on the one hand, to fight against the Japanese invaders, and on the other hand, to develop here, so that everyone here can live and work in peace and contentment - in order to express my sincerity, I specially brought some gifts for everyone!" ”

With a wave of his hand, the big bear came over and opened a box, in which were several fine cotton cloths.

"This, this is ......"

The common people stared at these cotton cloths with wide eyes, and they became more and more confused about what Lu Yuan was thinking, but the eyes of those women and children were filled with longing, and it seemed that the New Year was coming, and with these flower cloths, they could make new clothes.

"That's the case, newcomers, who attend the meeting today, everyone can receive three feet of cotton for free......"

"Give me my ......"

"I want it too, I want it too, I want it to ......"

Before the words were finished, dozens of ordinary people who were half-dead a second ago instantly pounced towards the big bear, this kind of thing that is not in vain, there are not many such opportunities in this world, let alone brand new cotton cloth.

"Don't worry, listen to me!"

Lu Yuan was busy maintaining order, and then continued: "The infrastructure of our county is really weak, roads, houses, and fortifications must be built, and a large number of people are needed. ”

"Do you care about the rice?"

Someone asked with a blank look: "As long as you take care of the food, as many people can find it for you!"

"Commander, we don't have much food to bring!"

Wang Mazhu immediately reminded that when he came, he had already taken into account the situation here, so he brought a batch of grain, but they were just ten or twenty people, and they only brought a few hundred catties of grain, and there was no grain store or anything like that in this broken place, if you want to buy grain, you must at least buy it in the county town seventy or eighty miles away, and the price is not low, and the transportation is not good.

This is one of the great dilemmas they face.

"Tube!"

Lu Yuan shouted, although there is no food, but he has 50,000 oceans worth of gold extorted from Chen Liang, as long as he has money, he thinks that no matter how remote the place is, he will definitely be able to buy food, but then he added: "But if you take care of the food, you only have a dime a day's wages!" ”

Tens of thousands of oceans seem to be a lot, but it really doesn't cost it, he has to save some, look at this place, the place where it will cost money in the future, there are a lot of them!
