Behind me is the earth

"A lot of books and materials have been downloaded into the computer, and there are also a lot of things that don't belong to this world. You just need to learn these things in your own mind, and don't reveal them to others easily."

Xiao Wan, the girl who was trained by him, Ren Pingsheng also gave her full trust.

"Um."

Xiaowan nodded repeatedly and held the laptop in her arms.

In the next few days, power was transferred smoothly. The squire did not fight back, and there was no news from the county government. Everything was quiet.

It was as if Xie Yanwu had never existed.

The people of Qingcheng felt firsthand that the security in the city suddenly improved. The wolf gang that used to run around here and there collecting protection fees suddenly stopped.

As for those who stir up trouble and commit petty theft...

"1234, 1234!"

A sound of chanting sounded in the street.

On the stone road, the "swishing" sound of leather boots on the ground and the unanimous stampeding of hundreds of people were shocking, making people feel an iron-blooded force suppressing them. When facing such a group, no matter how vicious they are, People don't dare to be arrogant in the slightest.

In the past few days, these soldiers have really just been practicing and running in the city, and they have done nothing to harm the people on the road!

The army of the Jing Dynasty was not the army of the people, but the army of the feudal ruling class.

Their military discipline is generally loose, and even officers take the lead in harassing local areas.

Therefore, the people of the Jing Dynasty did not have high requirements for being a soldier. As long as they did not rape, kidnap, or rob civilian women, buy and sell by force, or harass the local area, they would already have a well-disciplined army in their minds.

And like this kind of daily training, Qiu Wufu's army is simply the heavenly soldiers and generals in their hearts.

Especially these heavenly soldiers and generals have deterred the saboteurs in the city and cleared up the security environment of the entire city!

“With better public security in the city, the economy can develop, talents can flow, and you can make more money, so why not do it.

From now on, the management rights of the Qingcheng Grand Market and the surrounding market stalls will be handed over to your Wolf Gang. You will collect the rent of the stalls, but you must also do a good job in maintaining market order.

What I have to say is that a strict line must be drawn in collecting rent. If it continues to be as chaotic and disorderly as before, and fees are charged indiscriminately, don't blame me for turning your back on others.

Remember, Qingcheng’s current surname is Ren. "

Ren Pingsheng and Jackal were walking on the street, looking at the Qingcheng Town that had become more vibrant in just a few days, and felt a little relieved in their hearts.

"Mayor, don't worry. Our gang leader has said that the future Wolf Gang will follow the mayor's lead. If the mayor needs anything, we will fully cooperate."

The jackal's posture was very low.

Not only because Ren Pingsheng helped them rescue Gang Leader Fu, but also because Ren Pingsheng was already the veritable controller of Qingcheng Town. No one in Qingcheng Town could challenge his rule, and no one had the strength to challenge his authority.

"You have a lot of good players in the Wolf Gang, all of whom are wild-born, so they may not be suitable for the army. But if they are used in certain places, they can still show their abilities.

If there is any need to use you, I will ask. "

Ren Pingsheng and Jackal were talking and had already reached the city gate.

"The list is posted. Whoever knows how to read should read it to everyone."

"Master Xiu Cai, Master Xiu Cai, please come and read it."

At the gate of the city, a government official came over. He posted the notice list without reading it, and left in a hurry with a knife. Apparently he had other things to do.

Seeing the people who posted the list here, they gathered together at once and looked at it one by one, but they didn't recognize the black and white words on the paper. They were all curious and trusting what the first list was that the mayor had posted after he took office. Ask if anyone can read.

At this time, a young man who looked gentle and gentle came to the front.

Although he was wearing a robe, the gray robe was starched and white, with lots of patches on it. His face was also thin and sallow, and it was obvious that his family background was very average.

He looked at the announcement and became more and more excited, with joy on his face.

At this time, the people below became even more anxious. Looking at his face, everyone felt that something great was coming, but they didn't know what it was. They kept urging: "Master Xiucai, don't see it for yourself. , tell us about it too!”

"You see, this is the pain of being illiterate. If you don't study hard, you won't even be able to understand official documents. How can you become an officer?

You don’t want to be a top soldier for the rest of your life, right? "

Ren Pingsheng took the opportunity to speak to the soldiers following him.

"Yes, yes, Master Tuanlian said yes!"

The platoon leader said quickly.

At this time, the young scholar couldn't stop the people from setting up rice seedlings, and began to interpret the article: "You can't understand the content of the article. I will explain it to you. There are three items in it.

The first is to select talents. The expansion of the nine subjects of the town government requires the selection of talents. Anyone who can read and write can go and take the exam. Anyone who passes the exam can enter the town government to participate in politics. After the internship period, if he passes the examination, he can become a government official.

The second one is government-run schools. People in Qingcheng Town who are of appropriate age can sign up for the public schools in the town. The schools are free of charge and provide a meal. As long as they successfully graduate, they can enter the yamen and participate in politics.

The third item is to reduce taxes and levies. From then on, Qingcheng Town only collected official taxes from the imperial court and taxes required by Qingshui County Yamen. All car donations, cattle donations, charity donations, military training donations, etc. that were made privately in the town in the past will be exempted.

For the above three items, including but not limited to town government benefits, enrollment matters, and taxation matters, you can go to the town government publicity department for consultation. "

"Cutting taxes?"

"Really? Are there really no need to teach you about these taxes?"

"Master Qingtian!"

"Do you want to go to the Yamen and ask?"

"If I don't go, will I be beaten?"

When the people heard the announcement, they made a noise. Some people questioned it, some shouted Qingtian, and some bold people were going to ask at the yamen gate.

However, the people's impression of the new mayor has skyrocketed.

"As long as these policies are implemented well, people's support will really be supported."

Jackal looked on and thought to himself.

"Ren Nuan, in the future, all announcements will be made in vernacular. Speaking in a language that the common people can understand is the most important bottom line of the Publicity Department. If the publicity is to be publicized to the common people, there needs to be literati among them to translate. Then when our meaning reaches the lowest level, will it be misinterpreted? Will it cause misunderstandings?

These all need to be taken into consideration. "

At this time, literati pay attention to literacy and hyphenation. Sometimes, if a sentence cannot be deciphered, it may be read with two meanings.

Therefore, the channels through which ordinary people want to learn and obtain information are blocked again.

Ren Pingsheng now wants to break this shackles, at least within the area under his control.

"Master, I understand."

Ren Nuan took note of it carefully.

"Let's go to school."

Ren Pingsheng led a few people towards the school.

This was originally the seat of the county school in Qingshui County. After the county government moved away, it became vacant and became very dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.

Now after Ren Pingsheng spent some money to renovate it, the place has some appearance.

People coming in and out are still doing maintenance on the house. In some places that have been in disrepair, the wood should be replaced, and the outside should be painted with waterproof protective paint.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to education and donates money to repair the school. It is really admirable!"

Some people couldn't help but sigh as they watched the school regain its former appearance.

"Education is a major plan for building a country and the foundation for a strong country, so we must pay attention to it."

Ren Pingsheng walked around the school.

It can basically meet the study and accommodation needs of more than 300 people. If we squeeze in a little more, there will be no problem for five or six hundred people.

The school will be divided into ordinary classes and elite classes.

Ren Pingsheng has purchased a batch of computers and projectors. After the school is renovated, they will be put into use in elite classes to cultivate some talents with modern literacy. They will use the "cultivating seedlings to encourage them" type of cultivation to vigorously Promote the development of Qingcheng Town.

"drive!"

As soon as they walked out of the school, they saw a group of more than a dozen riders running towards the outside of the town.

"They should have gone out of the city to exterminate corpses. Everyone, how about we go out of the city for an outing?"

Ren Pingsheng wanted to go out and see with his own eyes whether the elimination of living corpses in Qingcheng area was effective.

"It's all up to the adults to make the decision."

Except for Liu Shu and Lao Liu who have something to do, all the officials from the Nine Sections are here.

Immediately, someone brought the horses over, and everyone got on their horses and headed out of the city.

When we arrived at the city gate, many people were watching the notice outside the gate.

“There’s really no need to quarantine!”

"How to ensure safety? What if someone infected gets in?"

Many people gathered in front of the notice. Some were happy, some were skeptical, and some were worried.

"Don't worry, you just need to line up and pass in front of my table one by one. Whenever there is a problem, this baby in front of me will scream!"

The officer guarding the city gate picked up a black lump on the table.

This is a high-precision infrared body temperature sensor, but it is covered with a shell to disguise it. Whenever the temperature is higher than 38 degrees, it will automatically sound an alarm.

Those with high body temperatures must be quarantined in the west isolation area. They will not be allowed to enter the city until no corpse transformation occurs after an hour.

With this, coupled with the short-term defensive policy of loosening the city internally and tightening it internally, it is possible to relax isolation restrictions and restore the city's circulation while ensuring the safety of the city.

"Today is the Qingcheng Grand Fair?"

Seeing the large number of people at the city gate, Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Yes, big gathering today."

someone answered.

The horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone slabs, rushed out of the city gate, and galloped on the official road outside.

After several days of continuous cleaning during the day, there are far fewer living corpses on the official road.

With the mobility of the cavalry, all living corpses lingering on the main road of the official road were wiped out.

"Um?"

When everyone was running along the official road, they found that the cavalry group that had just left the city had returned.

"Team training!"

When these cavalrymen approached Ren Pingsheng and others, they quickly pulled the reins and stopped on the side of the road.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Ren Pingsheng said doubtfully.

"Tuanlian, we just received a report that there were hundreds of living corpses wandering on the official road. When we arrived, they were all killed.

I'm going to go back and let the auxiliary soldiers go and clean up the bodies. "

said the leading platoon leader.

"Killed by others?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Yes, and those corpses are very strange..."

The platoon leader said: "The wounds on the corpses look very uniform, as if they were killed by one person!

And judging from the scene, this man was killed at an extremely fast speed. "

"One person can kill hundreds of living corpses? And very quickly?"

Ren Pingsheng suddenly became interested: "Go and have a look."

"yes!"

The platoon leader pulled the reins, and the horse immediately turned around and returned to the scene of the crime.

The distance is not far, just not far from the black pine forest.

Just on the official road, Ren Shengsheng roughly counted the corpses on the ground, and he must have counted six to seven hundred.

Jumping off the horse, Ren Pingsheng took out an N95 mask and put it on his ears to cover up the stench that hit his nose.

"The wounds are neat and uniform, and they really look like a weapon. The cuts are light, and each blow just touches the place where the living corpse is active. This person obviously has extremely exquisite control of force, and the force is just right every time!"

Ren Pingsheng looked at these wounds and couldn't help but take a breath.

Such a character is simply mind-numbing.

At the same time, on this official road, a team of 10 cavalrymen was galloping quickly.

"Sir, there are a large number of living corpses ahead."

A scout ran back from the front, pulled the reins and shouted.

The person running at the front was wearing a Yunhe suit with black silver thread and embroidered with cloud and crane patterns, looking chic and elegant.

Wearing a grimace mask on his face, he looked particularly intimidating.

Soon, dark masses of heads appeared in front of everyone on the road. The gray eyeballs embedded in the rotten cheeks looked terrifying.

"Woooooooooo~"

When there are more living corpses, the sound they make is like the strong wind blowing in the forest, and the whimpering is terrifying.

"Xu~"

The officer pulled the reins and looked at the living corpses stumbling around in front of him.

He stretched out his fingers and gently guided it, and in an instant, there was a "choking" sound on the saddle, and a golden light flashed, like a swimming dragon, swimming through the group of living corpses in an instant, but in just a few seconds During the breath, there was a "crack", the golden light disappeared, and the swimming dragon returned to its sheath.

The living corpses still standing there fell to the ground one by one like dominoes.

The wounds on the living corpses were uniform.

"Let's go, we must get to the Fengtai front line before tonight!"

What came from behind the ghost mask turned out to be a female voice with a beautiful timbre but a cold tone, and she sounded young.

"yes!"

The horse's hooves stepped on the gap between the living corpses, quickly crossed over, and continued to gallop forward.

"There are many living corpses along the way, but I didn't encounter many living corpses in the area I just passed. What kind of land is that?"

asked the grimace female officer.

"Sir, this is Qingshui County, Qingcheng Town in Qingshui County."

The subordinate took out the map, took a look at it, and replied.

"The subordinate officer in Qingcheng Town is not bad."

The female officer has a good impression of Qingcheng Town.
