Chapter 40

Perhaps the grain tax revenue was too harsh in the past three years, and many people were frozen to death in winter. The people in the county were worried that the sky would be angry and resentful. Since the beginning of spring this year, they have not sent anyone to the countryside to make trouble.

Even the traits like Tian Fuxian were calmed down for more than half a year. Without these traits on the White Deer Plain, the tranquility of the past has returned to its former tranquility.

But Bai Jiaxuan knew that this was just the beginning.

For those beasts, they collected three years of grain tax at one time last year, and also had a cap tax and ate a lot of fat intestines. I want them to eat something light this year?

Think beautifully!

Last winter, Bailuyuan had been able to survive, but there were a lot of new tombs in other villages below Zishui County.

As soon as spring begins, countless people are gone from growing crops for spring plowing and are not allowed to sell land. Some dilapidated families have no choice but to sell their children at low prices just to seek another way of living.

These farmers, like the seeds they sowed, began to sprout and grow hard as the spring breeze blows. They are just cut off again like leeks.

The heavy snow last winter was indeed a sign of auspicious snow and auspicious years. This year, the wheat seedlings are growing very well. When it comes to the heading month, watching the wheat grains gradually plump, the haze in everyone's heart finally dissipated a little.

But in addition to the farmers' concerns, the old men in the county also care about their own grain.

As expected, as Bai Jiaxuan expected, just after April and the coldness had just faded, Tian Fuxian's figure appeared on the Bailu Plain.

After Tian Fuxian rode a foal around the land, he saw that the crops were growing well this year, and he couldn't help but look relieved. It seemed that there was hope for this year's grain tax.

After Tian Fuxian arrived at Bailuyuan, he originally wanted Bai Jiaxuan, but after walking around, he didn't see Bai Jiaxuan. When he met Lu Zilin, Tian Fuxian decided that Lu Zilin, a small official fan, might be better controlled, so he pulled Lu Zilin and returned to the county.

This means that Bai Jiaxuan is not at home. If he is at home, he will definitely know that these two grandchildren have nothing to do.

Sure enough, in mid-April, Lu Zilin wore a black Zhongshan suit and a top hat, and returned from the county with a smile. Together, he brought back a plaque.

"The first security center!"

The first thing Lu Zilin did when he came back was to gather everyone in the ancestral hall and announce the county's appointment letter to him.

The county has decided to set up a new yamen in township units at the lower level below the county, named the security office, and one security office has ten villages controlled by the security office.

At the same time, the official position of the management and security office is also called the township agreement, and Lu Zilin is the township agreement of the first security office, which has jurisdiction over ten villages, and Bailuyuan is one of them.

Lu Zilin happily returned to Bailuyuan with the plaque and announced that he would set up the First Guarantee Institute in Bailuyuan Village. In a week, it would be the opening day of the First Guarantee Institute, and then the guests would be feasted.

With this move, Lu Zilin quickly attracted a group of idle men in the village to his side. With the help of those idle men, Lu Zilin's signature, the first security center, was really hung up.

However, on the White Deer Plain, everyone's reaction to the establishment of this first security station was not as enthusiastic as Lu Zilin imagined.

Everyone was quite cold about this. Except for the group of idle men running around, the rest of the village watched all this with intentional or unintentional cold eyes.

Lu Zilin didn't enjoy the fun of making a village appointment, so he naturally knew what was going on. Bai Luyuan was not in charge of the matter now, but Bai Jiaxuan, who was not at home for several days but still had a prestige.

Bai Jiaxuan has indeed been away from home in recent months. Now he has hired five long-term workers at home. Except for Lu San, the remaining four are left, working all day long.

He doesn't have to worry about the fields. For the past six months, he has been building the Wuzhishan base with Lu San.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. In the past six months, Wuzhishan has also gained a little scale and has a little bit of feeling like a bandit nest.

Currently, there are 63 preparatory members at the base, both men and women, all between five and fifteen years old. There are also four women who go up the mountain with their children to be responsible for food. Most of these people went up the mountain last winter.

The grain collection in the county last year caused the flood of beggars in the county town, and the whole family was crowded with begging people in the county. During the snowy half month, every morning, the county's corpse collection team could pull a cart of corpses to the mass grave.

It was during that period that Zheng Mang pulled a lot of people up the mountain, and this was the decision that he made after selecting the children up the mountain. If he could just recruit people, it would not be a problem to recruit three to five thousand people in several nearby counties last winter.

The county masters in several surrounding counties are like birds of feathers. The three-year grain tax and the cap tax have forced countless families to be displaced.

Why did there be so many bandits and warlords during the Republic of China period? There were so many high-quality soldiers and those with a little ambition could make some noise?

Although more than 60 people were pulled up the mountain, there were only three or five people who could have combat effectiveness in Wuzhishan. Zheng Mang's shooting skills had already been hit every time. Lu San could not get close to him under Bai Jiaxuan's training.

There are also a few teenagers who are still foolish after training for a few months, but they are still newbies who have not seen blood and need to grow up slowly.

The same thing is said, everything is difficult at the beginning. In the past six months, countless problems have come to the face. I even encountered two little kids who accidentally fell to death in training. However, they stumbled and finally survived the most difficult months.

Nowadays, many good seedlings have been selected by Zheng Mang as team leader and trained as management, and things on the mountain have gradually begun to be sorted out.

Bai Jiaxuan did not hide his identity, but stood at the front desk. In the past six months, he has been responsible for all-in-one things inside and out, and even served as the enlightenment teacher for these little kids, holding a literacy class on the mountain.

Although Wuzhishan is not large in scale now, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, Bai Jiaxuan does not intend to truly teach these children to be bandits, but to train these people as elites.

Bai Jiaxuan did not intend to imprison their thoughts. If these people really had ambitions in the future, Bai Jiaxuan would not stop them. For him, this world actually had no ambition or even nostalgia.

During that dark time, he knew very well what he needed. He needed to get out of the darkness and meet his true relatives, his real self, rather than the world of Bailuyuan.

This base will not be expanded in the future, with a full capacity of 100 people. However, if one person is out, one person will be recruited again in the future until the end of the troubled times, and the real mission will be fulfilled.

And the real mission of this base is actually just to guard the White Deer Plain.

Wuzhishan has just been established, and there are too many things to do. Bai Jiaxuan has rarely gone down the mountain in a month. Vanilla is pregnant again at the beginning of the year, and it is estimated that the second child will be out at the end of this year.

Lu San returned to Bailuyuan one or two weeks to check it out. He only learned about Lu Zilin's appointment as a village party. However, Bai Jiaxuan didn't care much about it. The wheat was not ripe, and Tian Fuxian's traits could not be taxed. He had the chance to clean up the traits later.

When the autumn harvest season is over, it is time for Wuzhishan to make a real appearance. Let Zheng Mang take a few little ghosts to the world first, and finally see the blood.

Blocking people's way of wealth is like killing parents. Once the masters in the county cannot collect taxes in Bailuyuan, there will definitely be a bandit suppression team going up the mountain.
