Chapter 20 Going to the Countryside

Nowadays, Sichuan has become a huge construction site, with fertilizer plants, machinery factories, steel plants, and construction everywhere, especially the Chengdu-Chongqing railway.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Yuan, he is the formulator of the plan, but the executor is not him, he has a new job that belongs to him.

Inspecting, Chen Yunhe and Liu Yuan walked side by side on the country road, now there is no warlord war, although the lives of the people in Sichuan have not changed much, but at least no one comes to collect taxes casually.

Liu Yuan saw that the people's faces were filled with a smile of relief.

At the entrance of the village, he saw a veteran wearing an armband and leading a group of militiamen to help the villagers dig wells, this veteran Liu Yuan did not know himself, but it did not prevent the veteran from knowing Liu Yuan.

Walking in front of Liu Yuan in three or five steps, he saluted and said, "Commander-in-chief, I didn't expect your old man to come to the village." ”

"Why, if you are allowed to come, we will not be allowed to come." Liu Yuan patted the veteran's shoulder.

"Then how can you come, it's too late for you to welcome them?" The veteran smiled and pulled Liu Yuan to introduce him to those militiamen, but Liu Yuan refused.

"You tell them that I am your comrade-in-arms, and I have come to see you." Liu Yuan said.

"Yes!" The veteran continued to salute.

"Alright, let those recruits see how bad it is." Liu Yuan waved his hand.

"Captain, who is this?" A young junior with a shovel in his hand looked at Liu Yuan suspiciously, how could this young guy always see the captain so attentive with his eyes turned to the sky.

"This is my comrade-in-arms, the brother who risked his life with me on the battlefield back then. Everybody's chirping. The veteran said in a snort that he was also a comrade-in-arms with the commander-in-chief.

"Hello chief." Several militiamen stood in a row to salute Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan also returned the salute one by one, and then everyone helped the people dig wells.

Liu Yuan is also a man, with a shovel in his hand, he works very fast, and after a while, he digs a large piece of soil.

"Soldier, it's time to drink water." A few villagers carried baskets and kettles to deliver old food to the militiamen.

"Uncle Li, you said that you are not allowed to call me a soldier, you must call me a second-class soldier, Li Guang." The little soldier said a little unhappily.

"Good! Good! "Everyone is a commander, even if you are a soldier, you are also a second-class soldier, I really don't know what Lu Dao has to be proud of.

"Everybody don't do it yet. Come get some water! "Everyone sat around, everyone took a sip and I took a sip, taking turns with a kettle.

The water in Sichuan is sweet, Liu Yuan drank it with his brothers, and the old man who was called Uncle Li was also very happy.

"The old man has lived for more than 60 years, from the first emperor to the handsome, I have never met a soldier like you, either building bridges or helping the common people dig wells, we, who are accustomed to sin, are really not used to it for a while." Uncle Li said.

"Uncle Li, you have to thank our Commissioner Liu, this is all his instructions." A militiaman said.

"Then you still need to say, when the Sichuan earthquake occurred, our commissioner followed his brother, braved the earthquake, I don't know how many people he saved, and he rushed to that one, and our Sichuan people will remember him for a lifetime, and now Commissioner Liu is in charge of our Sichuan, and our Sichuan people have a better life." Uncle said happily.

"Uncle, if one day, the war comes, and the commissioner calls the children in the village to fight, will you agree?" The militiaman said with a smile.

"Promise, don't agree to anything, let's not say that our commissioner is Wuqu Xing, just rush the life that the commissioner brings to us, and we Sichuan people are willing to follow the commander-in-chief to risk death. Don't look at my old Li Shou's age, he was also a first-class hunter in the village back then. When the time comes to war, I am willing to be the first to join the army. Lao Li slapped his chest with a bang.

"Big tree, if you really start a war, you don't need it, we have a regular army, the regular army is gone, we still have a militia, you are at your age, just enjoy your old age." Liu Yuan drank the water, and he felt different.

Turning his head and asking Chen Yun, I haven't been here for a long time, has the taste of the details changed.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "You don't know what to do, there are almost more than 100 villages nearby, and tap water has been installed, other things can be slowed down, but it is imperative to change the living habits of the people." Chen Yun said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we must change the backward habits of life." Liu Yuan nodded and said.

"Captain Wang, who is this descendant? How to look at this momentum, yes to the county magistrate. Lao Li said to the militia captain a little timidly.

"Uncle, this is my comrade-in-arms in the army, and in the army, he is a commander who commands many people." Captain Wang didn't dare to say that it was Liu Yuan in front of him, otherwise he was afraid of scaring this uncle. secretly complained about Liu Yuan in his heart, and he didn't take away his momentum when he walked to the village.

"Oh! Sir, listen to me, this Captain Wang is a good man, you must not transfer him away, let him stay in our Lijia Town for the rest of his life to be the captain of the militia. Count me old man, please. As he spoke, he was going to kowtow to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan saw that the old man was anxious, and when he looked at Chen Yun, who was going to wear a Zhongshan suit, he understood that the uncle in front of him thought that he was going to transfer Captain Wang away.

"Uncle, don't worry, as long as you don't fight, this Captain Wang will let him stay in your Lijia Town for the rest of his life." Liu Yuan said.

"Sir." Captain Wang said dissatisfied.

"Uncle, you look like it's almost noon, can you go to your house for a meal then, I will give you this money." Liu Yuan ignored Captain Wang and said to Lao Li Tou.

"Okay, okay, as long as we leave Captain Wang don't say a single meal, it's ten meals." The old man happily went to prepare a meal for Liu Yuan.

Captain Wang looked at Liu Yuan with a complaining face, "Sir, what are you doing here, did I make a mistake?" ”

"What a mistake, it's just that we're going to stop for a while, and we won't fight for a while." Liu Yuan patted Captain Wang's shoulder, and several people continued to work.

After a while, it was noon, and Liu Yuan followed Chen Yun to Lao Li Tou's house, and Lao Li Tou specially prepared white flour steamed buns and a roast chicken for Liu Yuan.

Chen Yun's salary is very high, so his living treatment is also very high, so he has a feeling of disdain for this coarse tea and light rice, but on the contrary, Liu Yuan eats with relish.

"Uncle, let me tell you something, we were sent down from above to investigate." Liu Yuan whispered.

"You think the old man is stupid, I have already seen that although Captain Wang said that he was your comrade-in-arms, he still called you sir. That must have been sent down from above. "The old man took his mother-in-law away, and he didn't dare to let the stinky mother-in-law listen to this kind of national event.

"Uncle, don't be nervous, we have gone around the village in general, and we have seen a lot of things, but there is still something to ask." Chen Yun said.

"Ask, ask, the old man will tell you what he knows." Lao Li Tou said.

"How are the village party secretaries in your nearby villages, have you bullied your local people?" Liu Yuan asked.

"This is really nothing, but I heard that Lijiatang is poor there, tired and sick with a village party secretary, it is said that the posterity is a college student, and he came to our poor place to be a branch secretary, and he is a bad man, and the people who are commissioners are all good people." Uncle said excitedly.

"Uncle, uncle, don't get excited, I see that the village is connected to running water. Who dug the pipe for you? Did there ever a conflict? Chen Yun barely ate a bite of the chicken thigh, feeling tasteless.

"Of course it's our militia baby, but this conflict really exists." The uncle said angrily.

"Oh! You'll have to tell me about it, and I'll sue those people for it. Liu Yuan wiped the oil from his mouth and said.

"Don't dare to sue, here's the thing, the landlord Liu in the village said that digging the pipe was bad for his family's feng shui, and he was stunned and didn't let him dig it. He also let his tenants wound several militia descendants. The uncle said angrily.

"And then?" Bullying the poor with the rich, Liu Yuan likes to listen to this.

"Captain Wang loves soldiers like a son, and after a day's work, he called several teams of militia and stood at the door of Landlord Liu." After speaking, Lao Li Tou stood up, followed the example of Captain Wang and said with a gun.

"Landlord Liu, listen, this tap water repair is for the benefit of the people, if you are opposed, you will divide your land and demolish your house."

"Hehe, this old king is quite capable of screaming." Chen Yun said.

"What can you say, it's not for us who are bitter, then Landlord Liu saw so many soldiers, and immediately softened, not to mention that he agreed to repair the pipeline, and apologized to the soldiers who were beaten, it was impossible before." Lao Li Tou said.

"This landlord Liu is not a good person, haven't you thought that there is a militia to support him, smash his house, kill him, and take their land?" Liu Yuan asked.
