Chapter 141: The More the Merrier

Although the Li family's extermination case shocked the entire Liaozhong, for the ordinary people of Lijiazhuang, the Li family's extermination can definitely be called a great joy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because, the ordinary people of Lijiazhuang have been more or less oppressed and exploited by the Li family.

However, even if the Li family is wiped out, the entire Li family village is still dead and has no life.

The deputy mayor sent by Deng Zhonghua repeatedly assured everyone......

From now on, there will never be a landlord in Lijiazhuang...... All the fertile land in Lijiazhuang will be distributed to everyone according to the head. However, no one in the entire Lijiazhuang people believed it from beginning to end!

They are afraid that one day a descendant of the Li family will suddenly appear, or a new owner, and give them a queen to settle accounts......

They are all ordinary people who can just eat a full stomach, and they have no strength or capital to toss with the deputy mayor.

If the deputy mayor is defeated, he can pat his ass and leave directly.

However, they can't......

Their family is here, and once they lose the toss, they will be retaliated against by the new owner, and finally end up with a broken family......

As a result, no one in Lijiazhuang dared to go out of the village to open up wasteland and earn food.

Early in the morning, the people of the village were still preparing for the day as usual.

A news quickly spread through the village......

"Army, the army is coming from the village......"

For a time, all the brave and timid people in the village rushed to the entrance of the village, wanting to see the demeanor of the army.

There is only a backbone garrison platoon, including the platoon commander, and there are only 13 people at full capacity.

What's more, among the thirteen people, there were three wounded soldiers with broken arms.

However, even so, the people who flocked to the entrance of the village were also suppressed by these dozen people.

Because, these dozen or so people were all wearing military uniforms that had been seized from Lao Maozi but were uniformly dyed in khaki yellow. At a glance, it directly gives everyone a feeling of high spirits and high morale.

What's more, these dozen soldiers, each with a rifle with a good bayonet on their shoulders.

You must know that before the Li family was wiped out, although there were dozens of thugs. However, most of these thugs were armed with muskets and knives and arrows......

Only the army has equipped fast guns, and there are only two when they are full, and they are held by the leader of the thugs and the second son of the Li family.

And the Liaodong Army in front of him, although there are not many people, has a powerful fast gun in his hand.

Just when hundreds of villagers pointed to the garrison platoon and discussed, the deputy mayor who had been stationed in the village suddenly spoke......

"Don't underestimate these soldiers...... See those crippled soldiers? On the battlefield, the old Maozi who died in their hands, if not five, but also two or three......"

"Because there was no way to continue to go to the battlefield to kill Lao Maozi, he was sent to the garrison as a squad and platoon leader......

"Also, from now on, these soldiers will be stationed in our village and will not leave......"

"Of course, you don't have to worry that these soldiers will burn, kill and loot like Lao Maozi and the imperial court officials......

"These soldiers are stationed in our village for one purpose, and that is to protect everyone from being bullied by anyone...... As for the usual salaries of these soldiers, all of them are distributed by the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, and they are absolutely not allowed to apportionment one or two taels of silver or a pound of grain......

After finishing speaking, the deputy mayor didn't care about the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, and directly greeted more than a dozen soldiers.

Soon, the news spread that a platoon of the Liaodong Army was going to stay in the village.

Especially after everyone witnessed the training of the garrison platoon, they finally believed the assurances that the deputy mayor had given them.

At this moment, the deputy mayor once again announced the news that the village would be reopened tomorrow......

In Li Shanhu's low and dilapidated house, a family of five is sitting together, discussing whether to go to the wasteland tomorrow.

looked at the three children in front of him who had finally eaten enough for half a month, and their faces were already a little ruddy. After a long time of hesitation, Li Shanhu finally spoke.

"the kid...... I decided, plug ......"

"The Liaodong Army has sent all the troops, so I don't believe that anyone dares to bully us under the nose of the army......"

"The deputy mayor is a scholar, and I believe that the scholar will never lie to us poor people......"

"Also, the three children have just eaten a full meal, and as their son, I don't want to let them go hungry anymore......"

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the little surplus food in our family is not even enough to eat, let alone add a new piece of clothes to you and buy a few catties of meat. So, I decided to follow the deputy mayor...... Strive to open up another 10 acres of wasteland before the end of the year......"

"In that case, we will have two hundred pounds of grain...... When the time comes, we can leave 100 catties of grain for the New Year, and 100 catties of grain for you to exchange for a pair of pork......"

Li Shanhu had just finished speaking, and he was already an adult, but because he was too poor, his eldest son who had not yet married spoke up.

"Father, I will also follow you to open up the wasteland...... I have a lot of strength, and I can also open up ten acres of land a year ago and come back in exchange for 200 catties ......of grain."

"We're going too, we're going to change food for meat...... I haven't eaten meat in a long time......"

The appearance of the army is like a tranquilizer, which relieves everyone's worries at once.

The next morning, when the deputy mayor appeared at the entrance of the village, all the people in the village who could afford to dig the soil, without exception, all carried shovels and hoes, and waited at the entrance of the village, waiting for the deputy mayor to arrive.

This is the case in Lijiazhuang, and other villages that have not been exterminated, although they have not reached the point where the whole village is dispatched.

However, some bold villagers, for the sake of food, have begun to open up wasteland outside the village.

It is believed that it will not be long before the remaining villagers in the village will join the ranks of land reclamation under the temptation of food.

Because, the garrison platoon stationed in these villages is even more extinct, and the station is directly set at the main gate of the landlord's compound in the village, and while conducting training, it monitors every move of the landlord in the village to ensure the safety of ordinary villagers in the village.

The headquarters of the Liaodong Army, looking at the good news reported by the mayors of various towns, Zhou Zhongju could no longer see the slightest expression of worry on his face.

Facing Yang Xingguo, he said excitedly and gratifyingly: "Commander, the method of establishing a garrison force has already been laughed at...... The work of clearing land in various towns is already on the right track......"

"According to this rate of land reclamation, when the land is divided next year, in addition to five acres per capita, there will be more than 100,000 acres of land......

Yang Xingguo smiled and said confidently.

"Don't worry, as long as there is land, someone will come to plant ......"

"Although there are few people in the prison, there are still countless people who can't survive...... Not to mention, our family members of the Liaodong Army, who have thousands of grains, can eat more than 100,000 acres of fertile land......"

"So, tell the mayors of each town that the more fertile land is for the Liaodong Army, the more the merrier, and as much land as there is for me......"
