Time flies, soon half a year has passed, and it is the season of sowing summer grain in Lantian again, Li Chaosheng worshiped the god of grains on behalf of the county government as usual, praying for good weather this year, this is not a feudal superstition, but belongs to one aspect of folk customs, just eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, eat moon cakes on August 15, eat Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival, and look at the lanterns is a reason.

It can be regarded as a yearning for a better day, and worshipping the god of grains can also be regarded as a beautiful yearning for this year's harvest by the people of Lantian.

And Li Chaosheng's main job is to put a stick of incense on the statue of Ceres at the lively Ceres temple fair.

The Cerel Temple in Lantian is newly built, and the statue of the god is also newly built, and the old Gushen has been replaced by the new Gushen, who is an old man who holds wheat in his left hand and carries grain such as millet and sorghum in a basket behind his back.

And the new god of ceres, with a stalk of corn on the left and right, potatoes and sweet potatoes at his feet, and wheat and millet in the basket next to him.

And the immortal has also changed from the original image of an old man to the image of a young man, if you take a closer look, it is still a little like Li Chaosheng, and it is rumored that the new god of grain is the county zun.

Because of the old god of grain, they worshiped him, and the result was almost starved to death, but since the county lord came to the throne, he encouraged production, developed planting technology, built water conservancy, and brought the seeds of the fairy world, which made their lives better and better, so that they unswervingly believed that Li Chaosheng of Lantian County was the new god of grain.

Therefore, the folk legend that the county is a god descending from the earth This rumor is becoming more and more true, and even the craftsmen who make the statue of the god of the gods involuntarily carve the image of the god of grains like the county zun.

And the people also deeply agreed with this, so the incense of the Ceres Temple was unusually prosperous.

However, Li Chaosheng was a little embarrassed, this worship of the god of grains turned out to be his own worship, where do you say it is reasonable?

However, Li Chaosheng still conformed to the public opinion, and looked at the cereal temple where the incense was flourishing and did not say anything, but emphasized that the incense here is not allowed to accept the people's money, the people can bring their own incense, and the temple is not allowed to sell incense.

Someone asked Li Chaosheng, if this is the case, how will the staff in the temple be paid?

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "You don't need to invite monks and Taoists, you just need some maintenance order and cleaning personnel, let the sanitation send people to maintain it." ”

Sanitation is a unit set up by Li Chaosheng for two years, and its main role is to solve the dilemma of scarcity of jobs in Lantian, not only to solve the problem of employment, but also to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of Lantian.

Killing two birds with one stone, Li Chaosheng still remembers the first time he came to Daming, and he was shocked by the people who defecated on the streets here as soon as he came through the gate, but now no one in the entire Lantian is defecating in the open anymore.

There are public toilets every one or two miles on both sides of the street, and now if you dare to defecate on the street, there is only one result, and you will be caught and fined by the elusive old lady with a red armband on the street.

Fifty wen for urine and one hundred wen for stool, this price is enough for any ordinary person to feel pain!

Therefore, it is difficult for the entire Lantian to find a person who does not speak civilized and defecates in the open now.

Of course, spitting is not good, spitting, five cents, this is also one of the important jobs of the old lady with the red armband, as for why the old lady with the red armband, it is mainly not because they are idle, Lantian County still needs someone to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, isn't this the use of it?

If you let the young men do this, first of all, the Lantian government will not do it, and the young men will strengthen their labor, so they will build Lantian.

As for the old man, it's not good, the old man is not as good as the old lady, and he is easy to talk, sometimes he is easy to make mistakes, such as lifting it high, putting it down gently, catching someone, and letting it go when people say two good words.

But the old lady is not like this, the old lady is more real, and you are a young man who was pulled by an old lady by the sleeve and shouted for a fine, you don't give money, are you embarrassed?

Therefore, the local governor compiled this team of old ladies with red armbands to strictly regulate the behavior of defecating and spitting, after all, Lantian is the face of the county, and there can be no loss.

Now the hundred officials have consciously begun to maintain Li Chaosheng's sacrosanct majesty.

After worshipping the god of grains, Li Chaosheng returned to the county government in a low-key manner, and now the county government is still very busy, especially the general trend of the world, almost a day changes, Li Chaosheng is now busy and basically does not touch the ground.

Back at the county office, Li Chaosheng approved a few documents related to people's livelihood, and then looked at the progress of several major projects to be built this year, and finally the highlight was the military.

Gu Zi took a stack of military reports at this time: "County Zun, military newspaper." ”

"Read."

"Yes, this first letter was sent by the First Army in the Northwest, they have fully occupied Qinghai, and they are currently stationed in Wusizang, but the situation in Wusizang is more complicated, he wants to ask the county respect, and Qinghai needs us to send a large number of people to resume production."

Li Chaosheng frowned when he arrived in Wusizang, this is a big problem, but Li Chaosheng also has a way, thought about it Li Chaosheng and said: "Inform the secret spy department, secretly send someone to Wusizang, win over the oppressed serfs, if you want to take Wusizang, you must first let the serfs awaken, and let the psychological experts of the academy, sect research scholars, etc. guide the relevant emancipation of serfs, so that Li Dingguo Chen Bing Qinghai border should not act rashly, don't let him enter Wusizang, one wrong step is likely to fall into the quagmire, to disintegrate people's hearts first, and then recover!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi nodded and said: "I know, I will notify the court to cooperate with the secret spy department to formulate a detailed battle plan, then Li Dingguo implores to send people to Qinghai to resume production, how to do this?" ”

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly, followed by Gu Zi and said, "How is Li Debao over there, is Zhang Xianzhong still selling people now?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi shook his head and said: "This old boy finally reacted, he found that if he sold everyone, he would become the commander of the light pole, and when the time comes, there will be no land in Shuzhong, but there will be no people to govern, isn't that an empty shell?" So now he is buying grain and gunpowder from us again with gold and silver. ”

Li Chaosheng said: "Well, it seems that the population in Shu can't be counted on. ”

Li Chaosheng rubbed his eyebrows, followed by Gu Zi and said, "How is Zhang Xianzhong and Qin Liangyu fighting in Shuzhong." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said: "At present, the two have found that no one can help anyone, and they want to develop peacefully." ”

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Sell Zhang Xianzhong some good things, sell it two thousand grenades, they can't be peaceful, only one party has the strength to completely suppress the other party, then they will think about continuing the war, soon, both of them are almost running out of oil, and then there will be half a year, within half a year, they will definitely divide the winner and loser, and then let Li Debao be ready to enter Shuzhong at any time."

Hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Yes." ”

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "As for the lack of people in Qinghai, then put up a commercial notice, allow the big businesses to intervene, and lease the land in Qinghai on a large scale, with a five-year contract, no rent in the first year, and rent in the second year, let these big businesses send people over to farm." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi was stunned and said: "County Zun, this large-scale land was given to a merchant, isn't this okay?" ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "What's wrong with this? The people are not enough, but the land can not be abandoned, let the merchants plant, by the way for us to reclaim the fertile land, five years later, we have the good land and the rent, if the population is enough at that time, we can take back the land, the land to the peasants, and during the period of the businessmen farming, we can also get taxes, one stone, why not? ”

Gu Zi said: "That's right, but isn't it a loss for the county to not have rent in the first year?" ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "If you don't give some sweetness, how can those rich businessmen easily get into it, to put it bluntly, this matter must be profitable, if it is not profitable, who will be idle and have nothing to do for themselves?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi bowed his head lightly: "What the county lord said is extremely true. ”

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "So the matter in Qinghai is solved, what else is there?" ”

Gu Zi said: "There is also the city of Naturalization, Li Chaohu's second army has begun to sweep through the Mongolian tribes, and laid a large territory, but in the process of Jiannu to harass several times, but Li Chaohu was hit head-on, the most recent battle is the Battle of Wuhai, Li Chaohu used the strength of a division to defeat the cavalry of the eight Jiala who ran from Duoduo, killing more than 1,000 enemies, wounding 83 people, and killing 12 people!" ”

"After this battle was over, Jiannu had no intention of advancing westward, but set up defenses around Ulancha, as if he wanted to keep the river water from our well."

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "The well water does not interfere with the river water? How can there be such a good thing, tell Li Chaohu that he is not in a hurry to enter the Rakshasa country, first compress the living space of Jiannu to the east, and suppress Jiannu within the scope of Liaodong first, so that he does not dare to peek west at Mongolia, Mongolia is not his Jiannu's territory. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Yes." ”

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "But Jiannu's combat effectiveness is indeed more powerful than that of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't take it lightly, by the way, send all the revolver long and short guns made in the arsenal to Li Chaohu, and send them together with 30,000 rounds of ammunition that were urgently produced, isn't he Jiannu known as skilled in bows and horses?" Let's see if he's still skilled at bowing under this revolver. ”

Gu Zi heard this and said, "County Zun, doesn't this revolver equip your personal guard battalion first?" ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "No, as long as the guard battalion has you, besides, our guard battalion still has a hundred AK47s, who still uses the revolver if you have this gun, okay, give it to cousin Chaohu." ”

Gu Zi smiled: "You are so good to Cousin Chaohu, I'm afraid that other generals will come to make trouble when they find out." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this: "What's the trouble, whoever fights Jiannu, Lao Tzu will give him good things, and besides, after waiting for a year or two, the output will come up, and the whole army will be able to change its clothes." ”

Gu Zi said: "By the way, General Li Chaohu also wrote that he now occupies a lot of territory on the grassland, and asks if we want to send people to the grassland to farm and develop." ”

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Like Qinghai, recruit big merchants to enter the Mongolian grassland and develop farming?" ”

Li Chaosheng waved his hand when he heard this: "No, except for the Hetao area, the Mongolian grassland is not cultivated land planning, we must ensure the ecological environment of the grassland, otherwise it is easy to desertify, and we will fish with all our resources, notify the Ministry of Agriculture, let them immediately set up an animal husbandry bureau, specialize in grassland animal husbandry, raise cattle and sheep, let them find the scholars of the academy to study it, and make a set of plans that can protect the grassland at the same time, and develop our Lantian animal husbandry. ”

Gu Zi nodded when he heard this: "Got it." ”

Followed by Gu Zidao: "This is the military report of Shi Dalei's department, Shi Dalei's department, at present, under the movement of farmers to move the boundary monument, has been divided into two parts, respectively began to penetrate into Hunan and Guangxi, at present, Hunan has reached Changde, our academy graduates are no longer enough, so he asked us to send a lieutenant to Hunan to help the local people restore production and livelihood." ”

"At the same time, there is also Guangxi, Guangxi has already arrived in Pingxiang, and there is a lot of need for lieutenants, and the graduates trained by our academy are not enough to support the supply of lieutenants."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "It seems that the movement to move the boundary monument is still very successful." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi nodded and said: "It can be said that it is very successful, at present, the boundary monument has been advancing outward at a rate of ten miles a day, I am afraid that it will not be long before we can occupy Hubei and Guangxi, and plot the land of Guangdong and Fujian." ”

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Lieutenant Chief, this is easy to do, each lieutenant chief in Lantian will train two deputies after taking office, and it is time for them to come in handy." “

Gu Zi heard this: "But none of them graduated from the Department of Political Science." ”

Li Chaosheng said: "Don't be too rigid in doing things, transfer the deputy of the lieutenant chief from all over Lantian, and go to the place where there is a lack of lieutenant chief, you let the political department make arrangements for this matter, and after the lieutenant deputy leaves, the first is to increase the expansion of the enrollment of the political department of the college, the second is to increase the training of the new lieutenant chief deputy in the local area, and the third is to let Lu Xiangsheng increase the appointment of prosecutors from all over the country.

Hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Got it." ”

"By the way, what's going on with Jeju Island?"

Li Chaosheng thought about asking about the situation on Jeju Island, and then Gu Zi said: "Shi Lang's 30,000 sailors have gradually taken shape a few days ago, and successfully repelled the attacking ships sent by the Bangzi Country to ensure the safety of Jeju Island. ”

"In addition, Li Debao's first division stationed on the island has fully occupied the island, and established batteries and various defensive measures on the periphery of the island, and installed our latest artillery to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and at present, more than 80,000 people have moved to Lantian on the island, and about 40,000 people from Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, and all of them have been disrupted and reorganized, and have begun to carry out large-scale tuntian under the leadership of Li Dezong and Gu Yanwu."
