spn Lishuping Military Camp, Wu Tiejun put on a brand new military uniform, picked up the package he had already packed, and went out.

"Brother Wu, I'm rushing back to see my sister-in-law." Zhao Ziyun was holding a few books and had just returned from the junior technical school. He still didn't understand a lot about the basics of philosophical theory taught by the teacher today. There were two technical classes in the afternoon.

, the schedule is full. Although the junior technical school has only been open for half a year, this group of students with a basic learning foundation can already receive some basic secondary education. [Search for the latest updates]

Wu Tiejun was a simple and honest man. He grinned and said with a smile: "I asked for leave from the captain this morning and am going to go home and have a look."

"I heard that my sister-in-law is about to give birth, so Brother Wu should take a few more days off."

"There's no rush, it's still early. Training is tight right now, so I just need to go back and take a look." [

According to the regulations of the joint defense team, captains and squad leaders are allowed to carry guns. As soon as Wu Tiejun walked out of the military camp, he felt reluctant to leave. He touched the 10-shot box cannon on his waist and thought that he would never get used to it at home.

It's time to hoe, and dealing with real guns is the life a man should live.

Thinking of the mother-in-law who was about to give birth to a baby at home, Wu Tiejun couldn't help but grinned, hired a carriage, and rushed towards Baligou.

"Master, how long does it take to get to Baligou?" Wu Tiejun quickly turned over and jumped on the carriage, whipped the handlebars, and the old carriage set off along the road paved with slag at the entrance of the village.

The driver was an old man with a white turban and a brand-new cotton coat. He was also a sweet-tempered man. "In the past, when there was no boss Zhang in Lishuping, we would have had to walk for a long time. Now boss Zhang has paid for the road construction," he said.

I'll get you home in an hour. Judging from your clothes, you must be from the camp."

"The master has a good eye, and he doesn't just follow Boss Zhang to make ends meet."

"This boss is really powerful. Not to mention running a factory, just talking about the fertilizer seeds he sells allows this small Qingshan area to have enough food for ten miles. Look at my brand-new big cotton robe.

Thanks to Boss Zhang. Tsk tsk, it’s such a generous act. All elderly people over fifty-five years old, regardless of gender, will be given a big cotton robe.”

When Wu Tiejun heard this, he nodded and said thoughtfully: "The captain is really a good man. There are also many people in Baligou who go to the mine at the west end of the village to get paid."

"No, they are afraid that we will be cold and hungry. Alas, we are poor, and who has cared about us like Boss Zhang?" The driver, who has lived for a long time, still has bright eyes, asked:

"Has your joint defense team been recruiting people recently?"

Wu Tiejun shook his head and said: "I don't know, I think we will recruit more people sooner or later."

"Yes, next time I have to send the little kid at home to register early. In this world, there is no one to help. Boss Zhang can't handle it alone." Lao Bashi said thoughtfully.

Wu Tiejun nodded with a wry smile. Who could say otherwise? For all that Boss Zhang has done, not to mention himself, even his subordinates are a little panicked, fearing that one day it will all be gone. The seeds are gone, the fertilizer is gone.

, cheap clothes are gone, children have no schooling and no food to feed, and young adults cannot find work.

When he was in the team, that guy Zhao Ziyun often talked about the Three Kingdoms to everyone, and he also used the phrase "life comes from the barrel of a gun" that he learned from nowhere to educate everyone every now and then. Anyone with a little knowledge will know that only by pulling one

Only by paying the bills can Boss Zhang and his current life be saved. I thought that if things didn’t work out in the future, I could go into the mountains to do other things. However, before Wu Tiejun left, the three team captains met and said they were ready.

It was suggested to Captain Zhang to recruit more people. Everyone knew why.

It’s no wonder that Wu Tiejun and others have such an idea. In this era, there are many bandits, bandits and bandits, not to mention that some villages near the city are recruiting young people. Today there is a warlord leader.

, tomorrow there will be a township corps leader and a security corps leader, this is a completely normal thing.

The idea of ​​Wu Tiejun and others is very simple. If they recruit more people and get military pay, maybe Boss Zhang will be the next leader of the security group. Then everything will be easy to talk about.

An hour passed very quickly, and Baligou was soon reached. Although the slag road was not particularly smooth, it had good rainproofing effect, and a simple road roller ran over it, so large and small carriages could run very fast on it.

After paying two cents for the fare, Wu Tiejun got out of the car. It was exactly noon, and many people who were returning home from work saw him.

"Hey, isn't this Angkor! Brother Wu, the joint defense team is short of people tomorrow, you have to tell me as soon as possible."

"San'er is back. How did you do with the things that uncle asked you to do last time?"

…[

The three or four people asked about the same thing, except that Wu Tiejun had a job as a team leader in the joint defense team, and many people wanted to send their children and grandchildren there.

Not to mention others, just because Wu Tiejun was so well-received, I felt a little proud. People in small places didn't know much about the world and just looked at things they could see.

Fertilizers and seeds are purchased at half price, and are free at the squad leader level. In terms of clothing, in addition to the uniforms and regular clothes of the joint defense team members, those with elderly people and children in the family can also receive two pieces for free. Even pregnant women like Wu Tiejun’s wife

Being able to get a fine cotton-padded jacket, not to mention getting two or three times the salary of a worker, the treatment of the joint defense team members is really nothing to say.

However, Wu Tiejun also understood that the captain repeatedly emphasized that being a soldier is the most dangerous duty. No matter how much you take now, there will be more dangers in the future. It is better not to get involved in it.

At night, lying on the bed and touching his mother-in-law's big belly, Wu Tiejun felt satisfied for a while. Listening to the woman's chatter, he felt that it was so beautiful.

"Old Wu, the coat you brought back this time is a good thing. I don't think the women from the landlord's family in the next village are such a good thing." As the woman spoke, her face changed slightly, remembering your order.

Regarding what he was uneasy about, he said: "By the way, I heard from Siniang who works at Wang Laocai a few days ago that it seems that this year's land rent does not require potatoes and sweet potatoes, but only white rice."

"What?" Wu Tiejun stood up and asked in disbelief: "Real or false? The rice in Xiaoqingshan is the most lacking. Wang Laocai really doesn't want us to live if he makes things difficult like this."

At the end of each year, Wang Laocai is the "Xi" beast that celebrates the New Year in Xiaoqingshan. However, the villagers dare not fight it, but he comes out at the end of every year to press for rent and force people to do so. Although he used to press hard, and even forced many people to lose their lives, but

There is no strict requirement but to hand over rice. The little rice every household has has been expropriated. Seeing that in the past six months, due to the use of new seeds and fertilizers, the harvest has been much better and much more. Why can't we still live a good life?

A peaceful year.

The woman sighed softly and said: "Who knows, I heard that I will talk about this later, so I'd better go to bed early. At the worst, I can ask dad to go to the city to exchange for some rice. Anyway, your salary is enough."

"Humph, what do you know?" Wu Tiejun always felt that something was not right, so he lay on the bed and did not fall asleep until late at night.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the village started shouting with the beating of gongs and drums that the scoundrels from Wang Laocai's family were coming.

"Listen to me, this year's rent is only for white rice. Who dares to give me sweet potatoes and potatoes in two days? I recognize him, but the brothers behind me don't recognize him."

This time Wang Laocai seemed to be a little cruel. Many villagers who had known about the limelight and were ready to protest did not dare to say anything. It was simple. The thugs brought by the gangster this time actually all had guns. Although they were all

Shotgun, but it also scared everyone to death.

"No, something is going to happen." Wu Tiejun looked at it from a distance, subconsciously touched the box of cannons on his waist, ran back home, casually told his mother-in-law a few words, and hurried towards Lishuping.

"What? All the rent collectors in Wang Laocai's family carry guns?" As a time traveler, Zhang Shusheng was cautious and did not say anything, and his judgment on some things was clearer.

Since he has a gun, there must be someone behind him. Whether it is for intimidation or for other purposes, Zhang Shusheng can't sit still. Not to mention the more than 200 people in Baligou, old and young, the iron mine at the west end of the village has just been built.

. The iron ore there is much better than the mineral quality in Lishuping. The small iron ore in Lishuping is becoming increasingly insufficient. For a long time to come, I will have to rely on the Baligou mine.

Because the road was too close and the urgency was not that strong, Zhang Shusheng usually did not send anyone to guard the newly mined iron ore. It was different now. There was something wrong with the rumors, so naturally he could not just sit back and watch.

"Wu Tiejun, you and Chen Jun, in the name of training, will first take ten brothers to smear them out of the village. When they arrive at Baligou, don't enter the village. Even after dark, go to the mine and hide them for me," Zhang Shusheng thought.

After thinking for a while, he quickly issued an order to let Wu Tiejun take the lead. The main reason was that Chen Jun was younger and could learn some experience from the steady Wu Tiejun. "Please keep it secret and wait and see what happens!"

"drop!"

The emergency assembly whistle sounded. Wu Tiejun and Chen Jun quickly selected ten team members and left the village just after dark.

Zhang Shusheng banged his hand on the table while thinking deeply, and said to himself for a while: "I am not a butcher, but you must not stand in front of my gun."
