After listening to Chen Yue's analysis, the hearts of many families have settled down, since the Qing soldiers will not come to this area, then what is there to be afraid of? Only Yang Zhengping, who has walked the rivers and lakes for many years and has seen the sinister world in the world, knows that there are many things as terrible as the Qing soldiers. Serving in such a hostile environment, the difficulties faced by the big guys will be many, many ......

When Yang Zhengping came back, he brought back two puppies, which were very cute and fluffy, and Feng's son Xiaobao was playing with the two puppies after eating and drinking. Chen Yue looked at the two fluffy puppies, and couldn't help but secretly praise Yang Zhengping's carefulness, although these two little things are useless, they will bark when someone approaches at night, which can have a good warning effect.

After Feng washed the dishes and chopsticks, she was carrying a wooden bucket to add water to the pot, she wanted to boil a pot of boiling water for everyone to drink and wash her feet.

"I have already met with the mayor of Xishan Town, and he said that tomorrow he will arrange for the villagers to come and help us repair the house, but the mayor here is not a good type, and we still need to be careful." Yang Zhengping finally said.

Chen Yue nodded, he could sit firmly in the position of the chief in this chaotic place, and people who were too kind would definitely not be able to. But when water comes to the earth, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

The night was like water, and a crescent moon hung obliquely in the air, faintly in the clouds, and the slight north wind blew the dry thatch in the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, several figures walked obscenely on the road, slowly approaching the location of the inspection department, looking at the huge black shadow in the night ahead, slowly stopped, hiding in the shadows and observing secretly.

Finally, a black shadow couldn't stop tempting out of the shadow, and touched the mansion of the inspection department, just touched the empty door out, and suddenly came from the courtyard a dog barking, "Wangwang" Although the crisp dog barking was not loud, it frightened the black shadow to stop all of a sudden, cowering and retreating, and retreating into the shadows.

After a while, the barking of the dogs ceased, and the shadows no longer moved forward, but turned in unison, and ran in the same way, to several different places.

"Sleep, a few guts thieves!" Yang Zhengping listened for a while and said.

Chen Yue nodded, turned over and lay on the bed, in the first half of the night, Yang Zhengping took people to watch the night, but in the second half of the night, it was his turn, and soon he fell asleep.

The sky was light, and everyone got up habitually, washed up, and began to practice. Chen Yue took them to run a few laps around the compound of the inspection department to warm up, then to take a horse step, push-ups, etc., and then start to practice the queue gun skills after the left. Dozens of humanoid wooden targets were nailed to the wall, and nearly thirty pikemen lined up in a neat row, sprinting two hundred times to the target ten paces away, training the array and practicing gun skills.

On the battle array, the practice is fast and accurate, and the fancy marksmanship is not at all, which is taught to Chen Yue by Chen Jianghe, Chen Yue thinks it is true, and then uses it to train the families.

Nearly 30 family members lined up in a neat row, running in small steps, spears like a forest, shouting the word "kill", and the spears stabbed at the target. The killing sound shook the sky, and the momentum was terrifying, so frightened that Feng's face changed, and he almost threw away the basin in his hand.

Under the other wall, Chen Ping also lined up with the firecrackers in the small flag, and began to practice loading and aiming shooting.

A few miles away in Xishan Town, a middle-aged man in a blue silk robe listened to the faint sound of gunshots, and his brows slowly furrowed.

"Master, this is the new group of patrol boys practicing firearms, these people are not good!" A man dressed as a butler stood respectfully beside him, reporting what was being heard.

"It's not the turn of outsiders to spread wild in this Xishan Town, let me go and meet them first today!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"However, after all, they are inspectors sent by the government, representing the majesty of the imperial court." The butler said with some concern.

"What about the government, the mountains here are high and the roads are far away, and it is rumored that there are Qing soldiers robbing everywhere outside, and there are dozens of people who have disappeared, what's so strange, besides, we haven't been notified by the county government, how can we be blamed if the county government doesn't know!"

......

After the morning exercise, the family had breakfast, did not practice again, but began to renovate the compound of the inspection department, garbage and debris to be cleaned out, and the houses that can be repaired should be repaired as soon as possible.

Yang Zhengping took people out to purchase building materials, and when Chen Yue was directing the family to work, suddenly someone claiming to be the mayor of Xishan Town came to visit.

The bearded face is angular, and the brocade robe does not hide the fierce figure, just like Yang Zhengping said, the lieutenant of this Xishan Town is not like a good class.

"I don't know that the inspector is coming to take office, and the grass man Zhao is too late to meet him, so please forgive me!" The chief Zhao Li hugged his fists, and said to Chen Yue with a smile, the young man in front of him was not yet twenty years old, and he actually became an inspector, and he didn't know what kind of relationship he had left, which made Zhao Li very contemptible.

"This official has just arrived, and it should be this official who went to visit all the village sages." Chen Yue smiled and arched his hand, knowing that people would come one after another today, he deliberately put on the official uniform of the inspection, wore a black gauze official hat, wore a green official robe, and embroidered a small quail on the patch on his chest, showing his identity as a nine-rank civil official. Chen Yue was already with a straight figure and a handsome face, and when he wore an official uniform, he unconsciously had a trace of official authority.

After a few pleasantries, the two finally got to the point.

"The inspector came here to take up his post, and it is said that he should be conscripted and sent to renovate the official office, but you also know that since the last time the Qing troops entered the fortress, the local people have scattered, and they have saved one in ten steps, coupled with the natural disasters for many years, they are in trouble, and this labor is really unaffordable." Zhao Li complained to Chen Yue that the county needed to levy and issue labor, and he had not received the documents from Liangxiang County until now, so no matter what Chen Yue requested, he decided to refuse and ignore it.

"Servitude?" Chen Yue was surprised, "No, this official has no intention of levying labor, and besides, as an official, he has no power to levy labor. The official wants to ask the chief to help hire some villager craftsmen to come and help repair the house. It's not for nothing that everyone is asked to help, and the food and wages are all taken care of by the official. ”

Chen Yue waved his hand as he spoke, and several family members took out two bamboo baskets and opened them, one bamboo basket was full of silver ingots, and the other was full of copper coins.

"The weather is too cold, the salary is double than usual, and there is a lunch every day, although you can rest assured, you will not let the villagers be busy in vain!"

Looking at the silver ingots and copper coins piled up in the bamboo basket, Li Chang Zhao Li's throat surged, and his eyes radiated a greedy light.
