At midnight, people in Balizhuang were immersed in sleep. In the quiet night, they suddenly remembered three gunshots. Li Guolou picked up the revolver under the pillow. He had already sat up. He ran to the window and looked at the bright lights. Village. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't go out of the room. He fell asleep again. If something big happened, the guard would call him. When small things happened, his subordinates would handle it. He would hold on to everything and never let go. He would do everything personally. Just like Zhuge Liang, he wouldn't live long. Believe that your subordinates can stand alone. Let them get used to doing things independently.
After listening for a while, the gunfire stopped ringing. It seemed that nothing major happened. Li Guolou slowly fell asleep.
In the early morning, Li Guolou walked out of the room and asked the guard at the door, "Xiao Liu, why did you shoot last night?"
"Report to Captain Li. Someone sneaked up and tried to approach the south gate of Balizhuang last night. The guarded soldiers fired warning shots. Then those people retreated. The guards at the south gate said it was dark at night and couldn't see how many people there were. At least. There are more than a dozen people." Guard Liu Yu answered clearly.
"Yes. I understand." Li Guolou nodded and left the watchtower.
He doesn't like houses like watchtowers. The windows are small and the light is very dark. Not much light can come in during the day. People will feel depressed if they stay in the watchtower. There is an indescribable smell of lamp oil in the whole watchtower. Maybe it's a musty smell. .
Li Guolou was stretching in the hospital, thinking about who would be so uneasy and kind enough to touch him at night.
Horse thieves. Impossible. You should know that he has not left. Those horse thieves have seen the armed forces of the officers and soldiers and there are martial arts masters here. Then it is the bully Muramasa Jiang of Qilitun who wants to launch a surprise attack at night. He also wants to kidnap him. He may also want to In the dark, we killed some officers and soldiers, and came to shock the mountain. The immigrants who came to the village to work during the day yesterday must be spies from Qilitun.
Li Guolou frowned. The matter in Qilitun was not easy to resolve. The government's decision also had to take into account the feelings of the local villagers. The grudges between villages that had been buried for decades could not be solved in one go. Not to mention the local officials. I just like to argue. Today I will say a few nice words to Balizhuang and get some benefits. Tomorrow I will speak to Qilitun and change the order day and night. Get the judgment document. It is of no use.
Li Guolou originally wanted to set an example. Be a farmer, do farm work for a day, and experience the hard work of farmers. After thinking about it, he forgot it. This is meaningless. Can becoming a farmer improve the life of Balizhuang? The fields There is a farmhand in there. He uses official power to subdue the restless people. He wants the people here to respect and fear him. He can't get along with the local people.
After exercising in the morning class and washing up, Li Guolou changed into his official uniform, dressed neatly, and displayed his official authority. He held a horsewhip wrapped with gold wire and walked towards the courtyard with square steps. There, the officers, soldiers and militia members were doing their morning exercises. Shouting slogans in full swing.
The dozens of people in the compound were divided into three teams. One team was made up of police officers, with Ai Hai leading 20 people who were doing exercises. Their movements were meticulous and looked the most eye-catching.
A team of fifty militia members led by Sun Yue were doing exercises. Their movements were no worse than those of officers and soldiers. If someone did something inappropriate, Sun Yue would hit them with the military stick in his hand.
There is also a security team composed of Balizhuang villagers. There are more than 30 newly reorganized people. Under the leadership of Wu Jinshui, they can only stand at attention, take a break, turn left, and turn right. The security team has no real guys. Holding a fire stick.
Ai Hai jogged towards Li Guolou. His movements seemed stiff, but absolutely standard. He shouted loudly: "Report to Captain Li. Morning exercises are over. Please give instructions."
"Very good." Li Guolou saluted and shouted: "I now order the first team to run one kilometer with heavy loads and set off."
"Zha." Ai Hai frowned angrily. He put the long gun on his shoulder and shouted loudly: "The first team. Raise the gun and line up in a vertical formation..."
Twenty-one officers and soldiers carried long guns and shouted slogans and ran out of the compound first. Then the militia members also ran out. Finally, more than 30 security guards were driven out by Wu Jinshui like ducks.
Wu Jinshui ran last. He turned around and said, "Captain Li, under my command, within three days these bastards will be as ferocious as men."
Li Guolou flicked his horsewhip and shouted: "Vice Captain Wu, don't talk nonsense. Follow me."
Slogans were heard on the street. Children followed the runners curiously. Seeing so many people running, the shameless dog hurriedly hid in the corner of the road. Smoke rose from the thatched house. A new day began in Balizhuang.
Li Guolou stood at the gate of Yunmeng Diaolou. He looked towards the village office not far away. The office should be placed in the village office. It should not be just for the convenience of his own life. There should be rules and he should set an example. Yunmeng Diaolou will be a private property in the future. .People who should not live there will have to move out in the future.
Seeing the children looking at him on the street, Li Guolou couldn't help but miss the orphans he had adopted. They should have arrived in the capital this afternoon. The family saw so many children coming. I wonder how busy they will be.
Are you suitable to be a local official? A large group of people dressed in rags are supported by him, and they are also required to contribute to the country. This large group has to hand in public food and perform hard labor. Books describe officials as suppressing the people. They are dog slaves. But without these officials, they collect the grain and let the people build public facilities. How does the state machinery work? A society without exploitation does not exist. It is necessary to collect the fruits of the people's labor in a legal and legal manner. But let It is the duty of local officials to see hope for the people, improve their lives, and live a life of adequate food and clothing.
Li Guolou murmured to himself: "It's a waste of money. It's a waste of money. What's the big deal. Anyway, I have money. I collected piles of protection money and gave it to the people here to spend money."
He will be in charge of the accounts of the Tianzihao gang from now on. So what is there to be afraid of? Li Guolou looked at the blueprint of Balizhuang. It has turned into a cluster of tile-roofed houses. Luxury houses are clustered together. Sexy men and women are walking around in the streets. There are blooming flowers everywhere. The tourist town is beginning to take shape. It’s time to compile some legends about Yunmeng Mountain and Balizhuang. What kind of Grimm’s fairy tales are in Li Guolou’s mind? What can be stolen here?
Suddenly he remembered a big event. A big event that happened in history. Li Guolou raised his hand and called Zheng Hengdan, the clerk. "Little pole, have you had breakfast?"
"Hey hey hey. I've eaten it. I ate it with my wife. Sweet date porridge. Captain Li. I brought a vat of hot porridge. You can eat some." Zheng Hengdan raised the basket in his hand. It was stuffed with floral cloth. Wrapped in a tea jar.
"Oh. Let's take the small pole into the kitchen first. I want to wait for the officers and soldiers to come back from running and have breakfast together. Let's talk while walking. Let's sit in the living room for a while. I have something for you to do." Li Guolou will not eat it. As for the food with unknown routes, let the dog eat a few mouthfuls first. After the dog eats, he will dare to eat it. He is full of distrust of the villagers in Balizhuang. But on the surface, Li Guolou made an intimate gesture and patted Zheng Heng approvingly. As if he was grateful to Zheng Hengdan for thinking of him.
In the living room, Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, little bearer. Have a sip of tea first. It's such a good tea. You can't grow good tea in the north."
"Well, it's the first time in my life that I've tasted such good tea." Zheng Hengdan blew the green leaves on the tea cup. He smelled the fragrance of the tea leaves in his breath. A layer of fog had already formed on a pair of glasses. It made people look at it. I can't see his little eyes clearly.
Li Guolou said: "Little pole, the matter is done. I will give you a pound of Huangshan Maofeng. What I want to tell you is a topic studied at yesterday's meeting. We need to transform Balizhuang and Yunmeng Mountain in front of it. It will become a tourist attraction that can compete with Xiangshan. In this way, the lives of people here can be improved. Just relying on farming, there is no hope of surpassing Qilitun. Your life here will not improve much. I will raise money to build roads and build shrines. , and we need to build some places of interest and historical sites to make tourists interested in coming here for a few days. There are mountain climbing and hunting. But I found that there are too few places of interest and places of interest here. So we need to create some fairy caves, Laojun furnaces, etc. to use this. By analogy, that ravine can be transformed into the relics of the battle between Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty and the Liao people. Then throw some weapons and armor from the Song Dynasty into the ravine. Then you can dig them out."
"Oh." Zheng Hengdan looked at Li Guolou. He was filled with emotion. He didn't know how to express it in words.
Li Guolou continued to teach: "Little carrying pole, the task I have assigned to you is to find the lost history and culture. Find out which ancient people Balizhuang is related to. National heroes like Li Guang and Qi Jiguang can all be related. . It’s okay to be further away from Guiguzi. Do you understand?”
"Oh, Mr. Li, what should I do?" Zheng Hengdan frowned. He didn't know what work he had to do.
"Hey." Li Guolou sighed. That guy is not here. There is no smart person to do things. It gives him a headache. The deception and abduction should not come out of his mouth. The tall and wise image is completely ruined in Balizhuang's mud legs. In his hands.
He said helplessly: "Little shoulder pole, you have to learn to be on your own. Let me give you a warning. For example, it is written in the history books that Li Guang was stationed in Youbeiping. Didn't he go into the mountains to hunt and shoot the tiger? When he got closer, he saw the arrow shot in. In a stone, you will find the archery stone. It is engraved with Li Guang shooting the tiger stone. Then build a pavilion. This is a place of interest for tourists to visit. Do you understand? Bangchui."
That's it. If Zheng Hengdan still doesn't understand the world, Li Guolou will fire Zheng Hengdan from his position as "Book Office" on the spot.
"I understand, I understand. But it's okay for Chief Li to do this." Zheng Hengdan still didn't believe it. He was afraid of being embarrassed and damaging the reputation of Balizhuang.
Li Guolou could no longer hold back his temper. He knocked Zheng Hengdan on the forehead and shouted angrily: "Little carrying pole, you are stupid in reading. This is how places of interest and historical sites came to be. There are no immortal footprints. Everyone." They are from Mongolia. When the time comes, I will find some celebrities to write a few poems, and I will have the right to speak in my hands. How much money will I spend for you people in Balizhuang? It will be more than ten Yunmeng watchtowers. It’s unlucky for me to meet an idiot like you.”
Zheng Hengdan was originally a wounded and sick person. Now he is even worse. He has tumors on his head and his waist is stooped. He said anxiously: "I know I'm wrong. I'm going to go sightseeing and turn the manger in Balizhuang into the ancestor of the emperor." I have visited historical places. It is Qi Jiguang’s credit that the wells became sweeter.”
"Yes. I am a good man and will do my best to build another hot spring hotel. You go and investigate where to build the hotel." Li Guolou gritted his teeth and became ruthless. He likes to do things to the extreme. After considering everything, he planned a big blueprint.
"Oh. I can draw pictures next. Let's get ready now."
Li Guolou waved his hand and said: "Small carrying pole, let's go sightseeing. Touch it first. Record it in the record for my officer to identify. I have it if I have it. I have it if I don't have it. Don't be told as a joke."
Zheng Hengdan understood the meaning of the officer. He bowed his head and left the living room. Although Li Guolou left injuries and scars on his body, Zheng Hengdan did not feel ashamed. Instead, he was proud of it. The person who recommended himself was a real person. He will make Balizhuang a scenic spot comparable to Xiangshan.
Li Guolou walked to the dining room with a swaying step. On the table were six raw eggs, half-cooked beef, vegetable porridge, salted duck eggs, and pickles. It was over that he had shared the joys and sorrows with his men. As a commander, it was natural to eat Xiao Du.
It's cold at high places. Sitting in the empty dining room, Li Guolou suddenly felt that he had become unattainable. The higher he climbed, the fewer people were equal to him. When he sat in a high position, he had no friends, only minions and cronies. .The distance between him and his subordinates is getting farther and farther. There is no one of the same level who is worthy of him. He recites poems and rhymes. The pain of loneliness is buried in his heart. Li Guolou calmly smashes the wine in his hand. He lays eggs. He hopes that his family will take care of his daily life.
