That night, Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Guohua left the county seat again and walked to the remote countryside.

Lijiagouzi is in the east of the county, the terrain is low, there is water in the southeast direction, and there are fields in its upper reaches, which is good. It's a pity that these fields belong to the landlord Cheng's family. The Cheng family is not from the Li family, he lives in the town.

Lijiagouzi has the word "Li", and most of the people in the village are also surnamed Li, but in fact, the village is very dilapidated, and there is no clan to speak of. Even if you are related to each other, you are just poor relatives.

Guo Guohua took Bai Xiaosheng, holding two spears, and came down the river. After entering the range of Lijiagouzi, the two saw a small courtyard one after another. The small courtyard is not big, such as the general farmhouse, side by side, there are seven seats, very exquisite. This is exactly Cheng Jiajian's residence here, and the people who live in the courtyard are not tenants, but housekeepers, who are responsible for taking care of the Ueda here.

After here, you will officially enter the Li family ditch. The houses in Lijiagouzi are far worse than the seven small courtyards outside, most of them are grass houses, some of them are even more dilapidated, and many of the courtyard walls have collapsed without repairing, looking worse than the modern slums.

The two did not enter the village openly, and Guohua was still a wanted criminal, so naturally he couldn't show his feet. The two have been acting in secret, and when they came, Guohua had a plan in his heart.

Everyone lives in a town, not too close, but not far away. Guohua knows about this place, has been here, and has acquaintances here. Bai Xiaosheng analyzed it for him, if you want to succeed quickly, you can't do it with just acquaintances, and you have to develop some famous elders in the village. If you can get the help of the elderly, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings.

Guohua felt that this strategy was feasible, and Li Jiagouzi really knew such a person. That's the village chief.

Of course, it was the village chief. In fact, it is just a broken household, not much different from other families in the village. According to the situation, Guohua understands. This village chief is a knowledgeable person who has a lot of dealings with the Cheng family, and there are no tenants in Ueda, because of the work of this village chief. It's just that if you want to say that the village chief will be better off with the Cheng family, that's not necessarily true. In his heart, I am afraid that he hates the Cheng family to death.

Guo Guohua still remembers that many people died in this Li family ditch once, and the son of the village chief was among them - these people were all beaten to death by the Cheng family.

That time. It's because of the fields.

The harvest was not good that year, and the already poor Li Jiagouzi was even more unable to survive, and the people in the village saw that this was not good, so they went to Cheng's family to make a fortune, and some people also started the idea of going to the fields and wanted to steal the grain inside. Originally, this was not a big deal, everyone had a difficult life and went to eat a big family. It's normal. But the Cheng family didn't know what was crazy, so they actually did it to everyone and killed an old man.

This angered many young people, and the two sides quarreled. Seven young men and two old men died in Lijiagouzi, and three people in the Cheng family also died. It was the government that came forward to solve the matter, and the Cheng family also contributed money and food that year. So that everyone survived. It's just that there is no gratitude to the Cheng family, especially those who died. I hate the Cheng family even more.

The old village chief only had one son, and he died of that time, he took care of the righteousness, personally went to the Cheng family to apologize, and gave up his old face, but in his heart, he definitely hated the Cheng family.

Because of this, the old village chief has always been quite famous in the village, and everyone listens to what he says.

Hearing what Guohua said, Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "In this way, we can directly find this village chief." Of course, eggs can't be put in one place, and we can also go to the homes of those dead people and mobilize them. As long as they are united, they will be a big arm. ”

Guo Guohua nodded, and said: "Senior, although what you said is right, I am afraid that these families do not have strong labor." ”

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him and said, "Boy, how can you mobilize everyone to only think about strengthening their labor? You say that the work in the field, which family is not old and young go into battle. These people may not be able to fight, but they can give food. The world's affairs are inseparable from the word money and food, with these two things, what are you afraid of. ”

"What the seniors said is reasonable!" Guo Guohua smiled.

At night, the agreed two sneaked into the old village chief's house. He was alone, and the lights were darkened at night, and the two of them were careful not to make any movement.

In order not to frighten the old village chief, Bai Xiaosheng signaled Guo Guohua to knock on the door. Because it was the door of the inner room, the old village chief was still startled, and said in a low voice: "Who?"

Guo Guohua said in a low voice: "The old village chief, I, Guohua, the old man of the sedan chair village." ”

When the old village chief heard this, there was no movement, and after a while, there was a sound of Suo Suo in the inner room, and with the sound of footsteps, the door opened. The old village chief looked at the two of them carefully, and walked in.

He sat down on a broken wooden chair and sighed, "I heard about you...... What do you want to do on my broken ground this time?" he said simply, but he understood. The old village elder is old, but he is not stupid, and this knowledge also makes him smart and ruthless.

The two glanced at each other, and Guo Guohua said: "Old village chief, I won't say much superfluous, I want to hear about my party's policies to the old village chief." I know that it will be dangerous to join our party now, and I will not force it, but only ask the old village chief to give me a way and give everyone a way. ”

The old village chief sighed and said, "The world is difficult! In the past two years, everyone has become more and more unable to live, although the people of the Cheng family still hire us to work, but they are getting worse and worse for us, and many old people can't stand it anymore and leave." Now in the village, the young people have gone out, the old people have died a lot, and there are only less than a hundred people, and they are still old, weak, and lonely, and it is useless for you to come. ”

His words made Guo Guohua indignant, and said, "Old village chief, the more this is the case, the more I should come." You say that the old man is useless, but I do think everyone is useful. At least everyone can feed themselves, unlike those animals of the Cheng family, who lie on us and suck blood. ”

The old village chief stared at Guo Guohua with hazy eyes, and did not answer. Guo Guohua looked at each other fearlessly, with sincerity in his eyes.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "That's it, since you want to do it, you can do it, we old people are also dying, we should give those children a way out." ”

Guohua was overjoyed, and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you to the old village chief, Guohua will definitely not disappoint the village chief." He told the old village chief about his strategy. I hope that the old village chief can find a few reliable old people in the village, and everyone will discuss what to do together. Don't say anything else. At least let everyone eat better, if this can't be done. He Guohua is also in vain.

Although the old man didn't know anything, he didn't know what he had lived for so long, and seeing that what he said was the way and clear, he knew that the two of them had already prepared, and both of them were hiding in the dark, so that these old people could come forward. In this way, no one else can find out, and it is indeed a good way.

It's just a matter of making money, is it that easy?

He asked with a worried face, "Guohua." What you say is good, but we don't have any land here, and all the good fields are occupied by the landlords in the town, and all we have left is a little poor land, and the food we grow is not enough to eat. Without money and food, this plan is all empty talk. ”

Guo Guohua patted his chest and said, "The old village chief is relieved, we have thought about these before, and we already have a way." He elaborated his thoughts. In fact, this is all Bai Xiaosheng's idea for him, and it is very simple, that is, to raise chickens, ducks, pigs and cows. Of course, the village is poor. I can't afford to buy these things, but Bai Xiaosheng is not bad for money, and everyone has entered the village. How can you do it if you don't make a difference?

His method, to put it bluntly, is to tie the hearts of Israel. It is not fundamentally different from them fighting the landlord to divide the land. If it is different, it can only be said that the power here is still weak. If you can't fight the landlord, you can use money to develop your strength, and when you reach a certain point, you will beat the landlord and divide the land.

With Bai Xiaosheng's plan, Guo Guohua also studied modestly and worked hard, and the people in the village were happy with the chickens, ducks, pigs and cows sent to the door for nothing.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng also used the little poor land left here, although there is not much food grown, but it is also a harvest, as long as it is carefully developed, there will always be a little progress.

He gave Guo Guohua a way, that is, let him organize those young half-grown children, everyone will work together, and the old people will raise chickens and ducks. So that everyone has something to do.

At the same time, Guo Guohua will also build up his prestige among the half-sized children and buy people's hearts. When these people eat better, they can slowly practice and become the foundation.

With this, those who are related to the old can develop, and slowly expand to the surrounding areas.

For two years, the situation outside was changing, and Bai Xiaosheng took Guo Guohua to develop the nearby poor villages and raised a small army of 100 people. On this day, Guo Guohua, who stole into the county seat, brought a piece of news, that is, the Xi'an Incident.

It's just that Xi'an is far away here, and everyone can't take care of it, so they can only bury their heads in development. However, Bai Xiaosheng heard the news and understood that if they didn't move, they wouldn't have much chance.

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Xiaosheng said to Guo Guohua, those big landlords can't move now, but those small landlords must move, otherwise it will be difficult to move in the future.

He didn't know why. Bai Xiaosheng immediately talked about the current situation, and Guo Guohua was also very surprised, but he was also very convinced, because Bai Xiaosheng had been teaching him for the past two years, and Guo Guohua had no doubt about his methods.

He immediately returned to the county seat and told Qin Hai what Bai Xiaosheng said, Qin Hai didn't dare to delay, and told Director Wang, Director Wang knew more than them, and his knowledge was greater than them, so he naturally understood the truth better, but he was also worried about whether it was really good to move those landlords at such a time. But if you think about it, Japan is attacking, and it won't enter here for a short time, and if you don't move, it may not be really good.

He agreed to Bai Xiaosheng's plan, and when Guohua returned, the two acted immediately. In the past two years, the two have long prepared what to do. They have been hiding underground, covering a qiē tightly, and if they launch at this time, they can definitely instantly defeat the landlords of the two nearby villages and seize their fields. At that time, as long as the news is sealed, where will the nobles in the city care about this remote and small place.

The uprising was smooth, Lijiagouzi, Wangjiawan, and Baili Village, the three villages moved together, the landlords in the two villages were beaten by them, and the villagers divided the land, and they were overjoyed. Only the Cheng family's land, they haven't moved yet, and they can't move it, because the Cheng family is not in the village, but in the town. moved the Cheng family, maybe the outside knew their news.

Therefore, Li Jiagouzi moved very little here, and they were very careful, and they deliberately asked the old village chief to trip the steward of the Cheng family, so as not to be discovered by them.

In July, after only half a year's effort, under the leadership of Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Guohua's actions, a village in the northeast of the town was dyed red. Now, they can break into the town and take the town.

It's just that I didn't wait for me, and before they could do anything, the news of the Japanese invasion came, and Director Wang immediately sent an order to stop the action, integrate the forces, and wait for the order of the superiors.

Bai Xiaosheng had already been sure about this, and he didn't care whether he would fight the town or not, after all, as soon as the Japanese army came, this place was not a defensive place at all, and it was still a trouble to fight down, so it was better to give up for the time being, integrate forces, and strengthen the army.

"Senior, what should we do in the future?" asked Guo Guohua solemnly in a small courtyard.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him and said, "The Japanese invasion is unstoppable by the national army. The north will definitely be lost, and this Guangxi is not safe near the sea. The place we are in is a depression, and there are no mountains nearby, so it is impossible to defend it. I deliberately slowed down development, that's all. Now what you have to do is to develop your troops, go forward, enter the mountains, and find a way for the villagers to survive. ”

Guo Guohua looked at the place Bai Xiaosheng pointed out, nodded clearly, and said, "The junior understands." (To be continued......)
