"How many villages?"

"Eighty-seven, if the time is fast, it can be done in about a week."

Xu Hao nodded, he sat in the car, listening to Wang Chao's report in his ear.

There are 87 villages in Lingxia District, with about 100,000 people.

This number is not much, but it is a bit small for the era when the demographic dividend has not yet passed.

Although Bac Giang province has no dividends at the moment.

"Eighty-seven villages, if one village can get twenty guns."

Xu Hao looked back at the pickup behind him.

"That's probably close to two thousand?"

The recruitment notice has been posted in advance in the morning, and it is waiting for public opinion to ferment.

It was only now that the police decided to go about collecting the guns.

A team of four, one police car and one pickup truck each.

There are six teams in total, and each team is responsible for going to one village, and this village immediately runs to the next village after it is collected.

Numerically, a group only needs to travel to two villages in one day to collect in a week.

Xu Hao also thinks so.

"Brother Hao, you say, how many guns can there be in these two villages?"

Half an hour later, the two stood at the gate of a certain village and town, looking at the village in front of them, Wang Chao scratched his head and said.

Which village is this?

Wangjia Village!

Next door is Zhaojia Village.

It sounds ordinary, and it's not very familiar.

However, Xu Hao should not be too impressed by these two villages!

"It shouldn't be much."

Xu Hao said casually, not very concerned.

"In the two villages before, when the fighting began, Superintendent Zhou collected dozens of guns, as well as various knives and control tools."

"A lot of detonators and earth explosives have also been collected, and it is estimated that even if there is still a little hidden in the village now, the number should not be very large."

These two villages are the same as the two villages where Xu Hao was still sleeping at the beginning, but suddenly they fought!

On the third day of his arrival in Bac Giang province, he almost fell into a skirmish.

Therefore, when assigning the task of collecting guns in villages and towns, he did not hesitate and directly divided the two villages into his own hands.

"Are you the two officers?"

Suddenly, an old farmer with a hoe saw Xu Hao and the car parked on the side of the road, and suddenly said suspiciously.

"Which two?"

Xu Hao was stunned, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"We're here now for the notice posted in the morning."

The old man scratched his head, his face puzzled, "Notice? What's the notice? ”

"That's what the pole sticks on."

Xu Hao pointed to the black and white words on the telephone pole on the side.

He was also a little puzzled now.

Not to mention anything else, the notices have been posted for so long, and there is no one with a gun waiting for them to collect it!?

The old man's impression of Xu Hao was not very good, after all, in his mind, his musket was taken away by him.

He leaned up to the telephone pole, looked at the notice in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and then showed a sudden emotion on his face.

Immediately afterwards, the old man did not say anything, he continued to carry the hoe, and walked leisurely towards the village.

"What's going on with him?"

Xu Hao was stunned, he looked at the uncle's back, and his mind didn't turn around.

Wang Chao also scratched his head, "I don't know." ”

However, before they could come to their senses, a muffled footstep sounded.

Xu Hao was subconsciously stunned, and then suddenly raised his head and looked back.

Xu Hao: ???

In an instant, his breathing came to a standstill.

Here are a few swarthy barrel holes!

"Officer, is that notice true or false!?"

I don't know when, a bunch of people gathered around, appeared from nearby, and gathered around Xu Hao.

in their hands

Everyone has at least two guns in their arms!

Xu Hao: ???

No, where did you come from!?

Xu Hao was shocked, looking at the appearance of at least dozens of people, he subconsciously took half a step back.

"You didn't lie to me? Is that really true!? ”

An eldest lady asked excitedly, and there was a row of wooden-handled grenades hanging on her body, looking like she was some years old.

The uncle of Wangjia Village, who was still walking with a hoe, stopped when he heard this question, and did not turn around, but his ears were quietly pricked up.

"Really, really!"

Xu Hao recognized the person in front of him, this is from Zhaojia Village, and this lady was still holding a spear in her hand.

"Bac Giang province currently has four parks planned, one has been completed, one is under construction, and the other two have just started."

"The ones that have been built include those under construction, and these two factory parks are in Lingxia District!"

Xu Hao patiently explained, looking at the simple faces in front of him, as well as the simple eyes, and then at the guns in their arms.

Holding back the surprise in his heart, he spoke again:

"Each park can accommodate at least thousands of basic employees, and the two parks are estimated to be able to accommodate between 3,000 and 5,000 people!"

Five thousand!?

Hearing this, the smile on the eldest lady's face was as bright as a flower, and her body swayed in excitement.

The man with the hoe stretched his head out of this way and continued to listen.

"How's the salary?"

The village chief of Zhaojia Village calmed down the villagers a little, and he suppressed his mood and showed a fairly calm expression.

"Well, the salary is not very high in the early stage, because it takes time to make a profit."

Xu Hao answered patiently.

His words calmed the excited crowd a little.

But

It's nice to have a salary!

Even if it's one or two hundred a month, gritting your teeth, you can live with your family!

What more bikes do you need?

Several people began to comfort each other, and their desire to apply for the job did not decrease much.

"At present, the salary of basic employees is about 1,002 per month, and after three to five months, after they start to make a profit, and after becoming a regular employee, the salary will rise to 1,005, and it will continue to grow in the future."

How much?

The villagers were stunned for a moment, and then you look at me, and I look at you.

One thousand two?

Is it less?

But this was in '04!

The average salary in a city is only 15 to 3,000, and a rare programmer is only 5,000 or 6,000!

In the more developed rural areas, the average income was only 2,000 to 3,000

One thousand two wages?

Will it rise to 1,005 in the future!?

They don't have a deposit of 1,002 at home!!

In an instant, the crowd became agitated.

"Officer, I have strength, I'm not afraid of hardship, you tell me to go!"

A rough man couldn't hold back his heart and raised the grenade in his hand and said.

"I'm the same, I don't eat much, what do you let me do, since I was a child, some people have said that my strength is the same as that of a cow."

The same is true of an eldest lady, he raised the rifle in his hand, and there was a fuse wrapped around his neck, as if he wanted to show Xu Hao clearly, and he held it high in Xu Hao's face.

"And me, village chief, you have known since I was a child that I have a lot of bull strength, you know!"

A thirty-year-old rough man didn't know what to say, his face was flushed, and he tugged on the sleeve of the village chief of Zhaojia Village and said urgently.

"I'm the same!"

"Look at me, I brought all the things at home, police officer, look at me!"

“.”

In an instant, the whole scene became extremely agitated, and the ears were filled with noisy sounds.

Xu Hao looked at the excited expressions on these people's faces, and looked at the guys they held high, and the smile on his face froze.

"No, auntie, is that a necklace just hang it around your neck!?" ’

'Fuse, that's the fuse!' ’

'What do you mean by holding a steel helmet?' ’

Xu Hao squeezed through the crowd, and he squeezed towards the man holding the steel helmet.

But the next moment, when he saw clearly what was inside the steel helmet.

'No, grenades, where did the grenades come from!? ’

The smile on Xu Hao's face turned into horror, and he saw that in the steel helmet, there were green round things the size of a child's fist, struggling to walk out.

"Officer, officer, look, I'm here too!"

The man holding the steel helmet was very excited when he saw Xu Hao, and rubbed towards Xu Hao with the steel helmet and grenade.

'Don't come here! Xu Hao roared in his heart,

He watched as the man squeezed away a few people, reducing the distance little by little.

"Village chief, village chief, you say something, village chief!"

Wang Chao was about to cry, he looked at the grenade that was held at random, and wanted to run, but he couldn't run away from being surrounded by people.

How are these people so bullish!?

"Officer, I'm a plower, I'm energetic!" The lady with arms thicker than Wang Chao's thighs watched Wang Chao lean up.

Without work, they can survive and eat, all thanks to those few acres of land!

"What does this look like? Outrageous! ”

The village chief couldn't stand it anymore, he stuffed a few box guns in his hand behind his back, and yelled a few words in a righteous and stern manner.

In an instant, the scene was quiet.

There is no more noisy atmosphere just now.

"All of them are like this, how can the police officers still carry out their work!?"

The village chief glared at them a few times.

"If you don't work, you still apply? Ass! The quota has long been snatched up by others! ”

'The village chief is a sensible man! Wang Chao was very moved when he heard these words.

After the village chief reprimanded a few villagers, he looked at Xu Hao again.

This time, with a smile on his face, he placed the basket hidden behind him in front of him.

"Officer, look, this is the seven box guns that my father hid at the beginning, and now they are all for you and the most powerful person in Zhaojia Village, and it is definitely my son!"

"Look at my son's application"

Xu Hao: ???

Hearing these two sentences, Xu Hao was shocked.

No wonder someone can be the village chief!

However, fortunately, the order at the scene was maintained.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Hao also hurriedly added.

"Don't get excited, the order before and after will not increase the probability of applying!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly calmed down.

Xu Hao and Wang Chao hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and removed two tables and stools from the pickup truck bucket.

"Sign first, sign it, and look at the quality and quantity of the gun to increase the probability of applying~"

Seeing that the children were also holding guns, Wang Chao's scalp was numb.

"Don't waste bullets, bullets count, but bullets don't count."

In order to be fair and impartial, a point system has been established.

For example, if two people have handed over a gun, but one person is a flintlock pistol and the other is a machine gun, then the conversion score is 1:10, and the person behind will naturally be chosen.

"Eh, what about the uncle?"

Wang Chao remembered his name while looking back at the place where the uncle had disappeared.

He also wanted to ask the uncle if he wanted to apply.

Wang Chao was still thinking so, and there was a person in front of him who threw the things in his hand into the basket prepared on the side.

"Officer, this is what I found in the ground, how much do you think it's worth?"

A man scratched his head and grinned.

from the ground; Gouged out?

Wang Chao frowned, he didn't know what guns would be buried in the ground.

But when he looked down, he knew.

"I'm grass, cannonballs!?"

After just one glance, Wang Chao almost jumped up from his seat.

That's right, in the basket next to his leg, there are several shells thicker than his thighs at this time!

The shells were also stained with a few patches of dried soil.

What shells will be buried in the ground?

A dud that fell from the sky.

But most of the duds are just not triggered, but they can't be exploded!

‘nmd！ ’

Wang Chao didn't hesitate, he didn't dare to move the basket, and moved the table to ten meters away.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Hao was stunned when he saw his movements, and then his eyes moved to the basket and saw the goose egg-shaped iron pimples.

Xu Hao: ???

"Grass!"

He also lifted the table and walked ten meters away with a curse.

Artillery shells left over from the war

He'll never doubt the firepower of this thing!

After reaching a safe distance, he sat down in his chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to register the list.

Of course, although he didn't have any shells, he also had a lot of things that made people's scalps tingle.

Not to mention anything else, there are dozens of war remnants alone, grenades.

'No, Zhaojia Village used to be an arsenal!? ’

After registering for a long time, Xu Hao was almost numb, he looked up and saw that there were still people rushing over, and they were lined up in a long line, and fell into deep thought.

But there wasn't a long silence.

"It's coming, Dad, I'm dragging it here!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Xu Hao looked up, and then, he breathed until he stopped.

Who's coming?

What's being dragged in?

A piece that looks like the torso of a tree can be inconspicuous when thrown at the lumberyard.

But the man didn't bring wood, but steel and rust.

This is

Earth Cannon !!

In an instant, Xu Hao's wise brain was a little unable to turn around.

"Dad, I'm resisting, it's not too late, right?"

The upright young man walked up to the head of Zhaojia Village, he dropped the cart on the ground, and said with the boy on the side.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, hurry up, go to the queue!"

The village chief said, pointing to the long queue.

"Okay!"

The man answered, and then carried him with his brother to the back of the line.

Xu Hao:.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked at the innocent man, he didn't know what to say.

No

Where did you come from!?

Xu Hao was silent, completely silent.

Yes, he only saw artillery shells in Zhaojia Village.

There's a cannon there, isn't it normal?

There are cannons and shells, so it's not an exaggeration to have a fuse on the whole day, a few wooden-handled grenades, and a few guns.

Is it reasonable? (The barrel of the gun is against your head)

You just say it's reasonable.

Xu Hao trembled under the hot gaze of the crowd and began to register.

To be honest, this is the first time he has joined the police since he hit.

For the first time, I felt so powerless, and I was so weak.

When I was faced with the human oil case and the high-IQ doctor in the school, I had never experienced this kind of emotion.

Double the fitness?

Xu Hao didn't think that his physique could withstand the attack of the earth cannon.

He decisively chose to shut up.

The honest registration looks a little pitiful.

It didn't take long for that vibe to disappear.

Just listen

"TMD, Zhao Defu, you deceive people too much!"

An angry shout sounded, Xu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look.

The moment he saw that picture, his whole pupils instantly dilated, and he was dumbfounded.

I saw Wang Youshun, the head of Wangjia Village, who had a relationship with each other, standing with a dark blue hat at this time

A cannon with two wheels was pushed to this side.

He pointed at the people in Zhaojia Village and shouted angrily.

"While we are preparing to greet the police officers, you dare to bring people to our village and rob us of the village's places!"

"you!"

Zhao Defu didn't pretend anymore, and instantly lost the gentle temperament he had just now with Xu Hao.

He turned around and pointed at Wang Youshun with one hand.

"I don't know about your village? The literate people all went to the city, and they guessed that they couldn't read the notices, so they didn't know about it at all, right? ”

As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man with the hoe.

"Yes, Wang Fu, you son of a bitch, did you eavesdrop on this bastard!?"

Without giving the other party a chance to refute, Zhao Defu turned to look at Xu Hao.

"Officer, I'll tell you."

"The people in Wangjia Village are uneducated, if you use the same money to recruit people from our Zhaojia Village, then everything you can do is not at the same level!"

What do you mean? What does that mean!?

Eye medicine is it!

Wang Youshun was in a hurry, he really didn't know how to read, and the policemen were very busy in the morning, and they disappeared after posting, and they didn't know what the words were.

"You slander me!"

"Officer, he's slandering me!"

"Look, I've brought all the guns, and I'm waiting for you to register, and they're going to stop you."

"And you're here, isn't it proof that you want to come to our village to recruit people first, what does it mean that these outsiders came to us?"

Indeed, Xu Hao really wanted to come to Wangjia Village first, after all, the picture of the bare-ass kid holding gunpowder had too much impact on him.

It's just that there is no one, and there are people from Zhaojiacun who don't know where they came from, so they were registered first.

Who would have thought that now two groups of people are on the bar.

"Damn, isn't this bullying honest people!" Zhao Defu scolded.

In an instant, the villagers behind him immediately raised their guns in their hands.

Not to be outdone, Wang Youshun jumped off the artillery, and the people behind him even began to turn the muzzle of the gun and began to aim.

Xu Hao and Wang Chao sandwiched between two people:

"That, listen to my advice"

Xu Hao got up in a daze, he swallowed his saliva, looked at the tense posture, and took a deep breath.

"How about everyone take a step back?"

"Besides, shells and guns are quite expensive."

"If you hit out, it will affect the probability of success."

Hearing this, the person who originally put his fingers on the trigger suddenly hesitated.

What if I just miss this bullet and get hired?

The faces of the people in both villages were a little shaken.

Xu Hao gave Wang Chao a look, then walked to the village chief of Zhaojia Village, and whispered: "Village Chief Zhao, this matter depends on me, please give me a face." ”

"Take a step back, and I'll drive a car and go to your village to register in person?"

Zhao Defu hesitated a little, if the face is gone now, and the gun is gone, it will be difficult to get this face back in the future.

"How about I add five more places to your village?" Xu Hao said again.

Five?

Zhao Defu's eyes lit up!

"Hmph, I'll sell Officer Xu a face today."

He snorted coldly, and then beckoned, "Let's go, go home and rest first." ”

On the other side, the same is true for Wang Chao, who got a look in his eyes.

"Brother Youshun."

"This fight will affect the probability of applying!"

"Now they are all civilized people, even if they scold others and ridicule others, they will subtract points for a person in their hearts!"

Hearing this, the villagers of Wangjia Village, who originally wanted to mock, immediately closed their mouths.

"Just now, the few words you scolded are worth three places." Wang Chao flickered.

Wang Youshun's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but Wang Chao's words rang out again.

"However, as long as Wangjiacun performs well later, I personally not only don't reduce the quota for you, but also add five additional places to you?"

Wang Youshun became excited.

He held Wang Chao's hand, his face full of excitement.

"Officer, you're a good man!"

Wang Chao tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth, and his eyes glanced at the other party's box gun pinned to his waist.

"No, no, no, you're a good person, you're a good person"

The people of Zhaojia Village left, and before leaving, they also took the earthen cannon away.

Should I say it or not, Xu Hao can see that Zhao Defu's son is indeed powerful.

Two sons, pushing an earthen cannon of such a weight, can go so far!

The crisis was lifted, and Xu Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He moved to a distance of twenty meters to Wang Chao's side and diverted a group of people.

Wangjiacun was not prepared, and now it is in a hurry.

There are also a bunch of people standing in the farmland to farm, compared to Zhaojia Village, the number of people is not very large.

Moreover, because these people are relatively short of pigs, they do not have any weapons of mass destruction.

At most, that's two crooked handles.

'No, what kind of delusion made me think that machine guns are nothing more than that!?' ’

Xu Hao was shocked, and he hurriedly interrupted his thinking.

This thing, when it appears in the city, it is necessary for the city bureau to dispatch the whole situation!

Not to mention the pile of guns on the ground.

Xu Hao calmed down and patiently registered everyone.

After half an hour, both teams were fully counted.

Xu Hao looked at the police car and the stuffed pickup truck, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

Originally, his plan was that this pickup truck would be loaded with guns from Wangjia Village and Zhaojia Village, go around the rest of the villages, and finally go home.

But for now.

It would be nice to be able to hold two earthen cannons!

"Uncle, what are you going to hand in?"

Xu Hao walked to Wang Chao's side, looked at the uncle who didn't have a gun in his arms, but was still queuing, and asked.

He originally thought that this uncle simply didn't want to find a job, or he wasn't very short of money.

outcome

The feeling is that this old man doesn't know how to read!

If you don't know how to read, what are you doing so seriously when you read the notice!?

Xu Hao is no longer able to complain.

"This."

The old man said shyly, raising the hoe in his hand.

"Uncle, we don't collect farm tools."

Wang Chao glanced at it and said.

The uncle didn't speak, he slammed the hoe that was sticking to the lump of dirt and slammed it to the ground.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound sounded, and the dirt on the hoe was suddenly shaken off, revealing the inside

Cannonball!?

Xu Hao's eyes widened, looking at the hoe formed by mortar shells that were cut in half and then welded to the iron pipe, and the whole person was stunned.

"No, uncle, you hoe the ground with this thing!?"

The uncle nodded, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Do you accept this thing?" ”

"I still have a piece of land that I haven't cut, it's weird and heavy, it's not easy to take, so I didn't bring it here."

"Receive."

Xu Hao replied, but suddenly, he came back to his senses.

looked at the uncle in a daze.

"Uncle."

"You here. What is the meaning!? ”
