A large number of people, carrying various tools, were busy in the fields outside the city.
It has been more than a month since Liushan County was recovered, and the entire city has been cleaned up from its original desolation.
All the wild trees and grasses were cut down by the common people, and this was only the beginning of the task.
After the county was liberated, people continued to be rescued from various places, and eventually the number of residents in the city increased.
Most of those who can survive in the apocalypse are very capable people, but such people also have very bad tempers.
This is not a unique situation in Liushan County, but a common problem in the entire Longyou. Therefore, it is not an easy task for the Yongwang Mansion to maintain its rule.
But as long as we grasp the key to the problem, it is not difficult to control the situation.
For these rebellious survivors, as long as they have food and have the guards as a deterrent, they can be made to obey orders.
Having a safe place to live and having food to eat every day are conditions that are simply irresistible to those who have struggled in the apocalypse.
Therefore, no matter how unruly a person is, he can become a qualified producer after a short-term transformation by the palace.
Liushan County is located in the southeast of Ningyang Prefecture and borders Liyan Prefecture in the west. It is the only place that leads to the pass.
The palace wanted to continue to develop within the pass, so it stationed some of the elite palace guards in Liushan County.
After more than a month of repeated killings, the zombie density within ten miles of Liushan County has become extremely low, so people can work with confidence.
There are more than 2,000 young men and women in the county. They not only have to cultivate the barren fields, but also dig ditches to isolate the zombies and irrigate the farmland.
Of course, some people went into the mountains to cut down trees and transport them back to the city.
People who go into the mountains to cut firewood are undoubtedly the most dangerous, so they are specially protected by a commander-in-chief and more than thirty guards under his command.
Before coming to cut firewood, the mountain was cleaned repeatedly to ensure there were no zombies.
But the problem is, just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be there later, so Wu Gang is still extremely cautious and lets his subordinates patrol carefully.
At this moment, Wu Gang was standing on a big rock. The view here was very good, and he could see the people cutting firewood below.
These people are working very hard. As long as they load up twenty carts and bring them out, their task will be completed this morning.
The work was going on in full swing below, but Wu Gang, who was high up there, was never happy these days.
Now that the Guards Department has expanded, each hundred-household office has added about a hundred new people, doubling its size.
However, the establishment of the Guards Department has not changed, there are still four hundred-household offices, and no new hundred-household positions have been created.
In order to facilitate management, the palace set up the position of deputy 100 households under each 100 households, and Wu Gang's bad mood stemmed from this.
As the most prudent person who usually handles errands, Wu Gang fully thought that he would be promoted to deputy 100 households.
But contrary to expectations, the person who was promoted was Hu Dabiao, a man who had gotten into a lot of trouble.
Wu Gang felt it was unfair, but he did not dare to vent his anger on Zhao Yanxun, so he could only sulk on his own.
At this time, a small flag officer appeared behind Hu Dabiao and said: "Sir, we can go back in half an hour at most!"
"Yeah!" Wu Gang responded and said nothing more.
At this time, the little flag officer reminded again: "Sir, in two days, the prince will arrive at the front line of Ningyang..."
The palace decided to go south and enter the pass, and the first step was to capture Zhenxi Pass.
It is not easy to capture this town in Xiguan because there are so many zombies around it.
The two hundred-household offices of the Guards Department were continuously cleared for more than ten days, but the zombie density was not reduced at all.
After investigation, we learned that the main gate of Zhenxiguan is open and there is no obstruction between the north and the south.
As many zombies as you kill today, you will be able to replenish them from Hexi County tomorrow.
What's even more uncomfortable is that after continuous eradication, the zombies in Zhenxiguan have become more and more difficult to deal with, and even advanced mutants have appeared.
With these high-level zombie commanders, the combat effectiveness of ordinary zombies has also been improved, making it impossible for the bodyguard Si Bingfeng to advance.
In view of this predicament, Zhao Yanxun came in person, and at the same time he also brought Wang Zong and his subordinates.
I heard the little flag officer continue to say: "Sir, maybe... you can explain your unhappiness to the prince!"
"You said it lightly!" Wu Gang said in a bad tone.
Wu Gang was not so bold as to go to Zhao Yanxun to express his love.
If he really wanted to be promoted, he felt it would be more reliable to rely on military merit.
Although he was dissatisfied with Hu Dabiao's promotion, he also knew that this guy was experienced enough and had fought many hard battles.
Wu Gang said with a serious expression: "This time the prince comes here, presumably to completely solve the Zhenxiguan matter, we all have to behave well!"
Later, Zhao Yanxun personally supervised the battle, which was an opportunity for everyone to perform.
Wu Gang guessed that Hu Dabiao was able to be promoted to an official position because he left an impression on Zhao Yanxun to a large extent, so he thought of him when he was promoted.
Now that the palace's territory has become larger, the palace has more and more things to deal with, and there are fewer and fewer wars that Zhao Yanxun personally supervises, so Wu Gang feels that he must seize the opportunity.
The flag officer immediately replied: "Sir, don't worry, my brothers below will never be embarrassed!"
The palace guards were all promoted to the second level by Zhao Yanxun. Their combat effectiveness has developed by leaps and bounds, and they are all full of confidence.
After a few breaths of silence, Wu Gang suddenly asked: "Did Hu Dabiao go to the front line again today?"
The little flag officer nodded and said: "It seems so, he has never been idle!"
At this time, the little flag officer suddenly laughed and said: "Sir, this Deputy Hu of Baihu contradicted Chen Baihu more than a year ago. It is said that he knelt in front of Jinshen Hall for a whole day and was almost kicked out of the army by the prince.
middle!"
Wu Gang naturally knew about this matter.
At that time, he was still a small flag officer under Fang Tong, while Hu Dabiao was already the chief flag officer.
"Do you think he was making a joke?" Wu Gang asked calmly.
These words confused the little flag official. Isn't this a joke?
"Go on patrol!"
After hearing Wu Gang's order, the flag officer could only turn around and return, taking the resting guards below to continue patrolling.
Regarding whether Hu Dabiao was making a joke, Wu Gang did not explain much.
The Hu Dabiao incident caused a huge uproar in the Guards Department, but Zhao Yanxun forgave him.
Perhaps it was at that time that Hu Dabiao's temper caught the prince's attention... Wu Gang thought.
If you think about it carefully, the character of Hu Dabiao is not the same as that of Zhang Meng, the right guard in front of the palace.
Everything in this palace is decided by His Highness King Yong alone.
If you want to be promoted, let yourself be accepted by King Yong, and then "Jian is in the emperor's heart" is the right way.
After trying to understand this matter, Wu Gang's thoughts changed somewhat.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think about whether he should be like Hu Dabiao or like Wang Zong and Liu Enfu.
Yes, Wu Gang was very thoughtful. He could see that among the four hundred households in the Guards Department, Wang Zong and Liu Enfu, who were more "honest", were more trusted by Zhao Yanxun.
At this time, a voice came from below: "Sir, today's work is done, we just need to load the car and go back!"
