Behind me is the earth

Chapter 204 202. Sharpening the knife and the empty transit space

"Lord, you are looking for me."

Lao Liu was wearing linen shorts, his shoes and trouser legs were still stained with mud, and his skin was tanned. He looked like an old farmer who had just returned from working in the fields.

"What's going on here?"

Ren Pingsheng threw the book aside and looked at Lao Liu's body rolling in the mud.

"I brought a few people with me. I just came back from a trip to the city for research. I haven't even had time to drink the tea in the check-in room yet. When I saw you calling me, I hurried over here."

Lao Liu sat on Xia Shou's chair.

"It's because I didn't let you drink water. Ruhua, give him a pot of tea."

Ren Pingsheng said to Ruhua.

"I don't dare. Didn't I just listen to your call and learn from you? It is better to walk thousands of miles to read thousands of books and immerse yourself in studying in the office. It is better to go for a walk in the fields, with mud on the soles of your feet, before you introduce a work plan. Only then can we be more grounded.

I originally thought, I am just an authentic old farmer, and there is no need to go out and see how people live. I know how they live!

But when I went out for a walk, it was really different from what I imagined.

Some villages are wealthy and the people's lives are pretty good. Some villages are poor and the people's lives are poor, but under your governance, my lord, no people have starved to death this year.

The Department of Civil Affairs has all the disaster relief food. If you really can't survive, you can go to the soup kitchen to eat. Even if you eat chaff and drink water, you can barely survive, or at least survive. Now the people of Qingshui County, regardless of Rich and poor alike are grateful to you. This is what the people want. "

As Lao Liu said, he reported to Ren Pingsheng what he had learned from this survey.

“Yes, only by going deep into the grassroots level and personally grasping the details can we discover where the problems occur and how to solve them.

If you always listen to other people's reports and analyze these second-hand information, you will always be easily affected by other people's subjective impressions.

The way of governance needs to be adapted to local conditions. Once there is a fallacy in the starting point, the mistake will be a thousand miles away. After implementation, it will inevitably be distorted and change from good governance to bad governance.

Therefore, when formulating policies, you must conduct personal research, synthesize distractions, and be cautious.

Otherwise, changing orders every day will seriously affect the credibility of our regime. "

Ren Pingsheng commented.

"Lao Liu, we will have a war in the near future."

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, he began to move the topic closer to the theme.

"I know."

Lao Liu nodded.

During this period, the military movement was obvious, and a large amount of supplies were transported towards the northern town. The common people were guessing that a war was about to begin, and as one of the directors of the Ninth Division, it was natural that he would not know about it.

"I give you a task."

Ren Pingsheng said: "This task is very important, and it must be carried out secretly before the war, so that no one can discover it."

"Secret mission?"

Lao Liu straightened his back and suddenly became energetic.

He has been sitting on the bench for more than half a year. Over time, Liu Laoliu has become invisible. Everyone has almost forgotten about him, and he has long wanted to do some activities.

"good."

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said: "You secretly organized people to visit all 9 market towns in Qingshui County, secretly re-measured all the fields, counted the hidden households of the gentry and wealthy families, and formed a land register and population list. register.

I will give you three months for this task, and you will do it secretly.

We are going to fight now, and we must not let anyone discover us, lest there be chaos in the rear. "

Lao Liu was very emotional at first, but later he felt a little frightened.

After more than two hundred years of development in Da Jingchao, the wealthy gentry family has actually become a local existence that covers the sky with only one hand.

When the county magistrate comes, he must first visit the local gentry families and find out the temperament of the local gentry. Only with the support of the local gentry can he start his work conveniently.

As a native of Qingshui County, he naturally knows how deep the water is.

"Are you scared?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"I'm not afraid!"

Lao Liu shook his head and simply asked: "My lord, do you plan to attack these gentry after the war?"

"The gentry has occupied nearly half of the land in the county and hid half or more of the population in the county. These people are like psoriasis, occupying the resources that should belong to us and stealing the rights that should belong to us. These people If you don’t have surgery, why are you still waiting for the New Year?”

Ren Pingsheng did not hide his words to this old brother who had followed him from Liujiacun, and directly explained the pros and cons.

"My lord is right."

Lao Liu nodded solemnly.

"There are some cottages near Tenglong Mountain. The most vicious ones inside have been wiped out during the Qingcheng regiment training period. Those cottages that only came to the mountains to make a living because of the government's bad governance have also been led down the mountains and resettled. The population alone is over two thousand.

Now, there are some cottages near Hongye Mountain. You can also send people to these cottages to find out the details and investigate them clearly. "

"good."

Lao Liu nodded in agreement and added: "It's easy to measure land, and it's not difficult to count people. It's nothing more than disguising, pretending to be someone else, and confusing your identity. You just want to measure the land and count the heads in a reasonable way.

I think that for measuring land, one can pretend to be a person from the agricultural sciences or civil sciences to teach the agricultural books compiled by Director Hu, and then use steps instead of rulers to measure in secret; for counting heads, one can send people out and pretend to be peddlers to go to various gentry. Zhuangzi, a wealthy man, walked and counted the heads in secret.

However, I have to borrow people from you for these tasks. Although our yamen is clean and upright, there are quite a few people from gentry families. If we use people from the yamen, I think the news will definitely leak out. "

"You go to Liu Shu about this. I have already asked him to secretly keep an eye on available people. These people will later be added to your Integrity Department, which can be regarded as giving you more strength.

In addition, I will allocate a team of people from the Intelligence Department to lend you, so you can do this job well.

After we win the war, while our military is at its peak and its power is rising, we will eradicate this cancer in one fell swoop! "

"yes!"

After Ren Shengsheng's explanation, Lao Liu felt that this job was of great significance. Once he did it well, his sense of presence in the main team would immediately rise to a high level, and he felt his heart surge.

"Pay attention to those among the gentry who have a very bad reputation among the common people, and make a list of them."

After the two discussed the details, Ren Pingsheng gave special instructions when Lao Liu left.

Since there must be rectification, there must be obstacles. Since there are obstacles, there must be surgery. In this case, we must prepare a few chickens to warn monkeys in advance.

"Okay, lord, I understand. I promise to do everything beautifully."

Lao Liu patted his chest and said in assurance.

After all, if you want people to give to others, if you want things to be given, and if you want money to give money, what the Lord wants to do is very comprehensive.

The rest is all about his performance.

After half a year of sharpening the knife, starting today, it is time to show off the fangs of the Department of Integrity!

After Lao Liu left, Ren Pingsheng pressed the electric adjustment under the seat, adjusted the chair back to 45 degrees, and lay down comfortably with his eyes closed to relax.

After a while, a nearby drawer opened, revealing a gold-plated revolver. Underneath the pistol is a tablet.

The tablet flew up on its own, floated in front of Ren Pingsheng, opened a document on its own, and then words were quickly formed on it.

——On how to carry out investigation and research.

Ren Pingsheng felt that Lao Liu's research was too simple. Although it was useful, it did not produce the best results that could be achieved by conducting a single survey.

Investigation and research usually have a certain purpose. In order to achieve a goal, interviews are conducted to find out the problems and difficulties, and ultimately achieve the effect of solving problems, eliminating difficulties, and achieving the goal.

Strictly speaking, the task Ren Pingsheng gave Lao Liu this time was a preliminary investigation and research.

The purpose is to get rid of the gentry in Qingshui County, destroy the political power of Qingshui County, and achieve the purpose of consolidating its own political power.

After lunch, Ren Pingsheng continued to be busy.

Amidst the crackling sound of the small keyboard, an article gradually took shape.

When it was almost dinner time, Alan sent a woman named Lingdang over to report the latest developments of Liu Heima.

"Do you enjoy torturing the gentry and common people in Le County? Gain countless amounts of money and food? There are no signs of going south for the time being?"

Ren Pingsheng was a little speechless.

Our side is already ready to fight. With an army of 20,000 people, plus auxiliary soldiers and horses, people eat what horses chew, and they have to consume more than 200,000 kilograms of food a day.

Moreover, neither the militia nor the auxiliary troops can be dispersed easily, because Liu Heima's march from Le County to Nanmen Town in Yunlong County only takes about five days. Once these people are dispersed, it will take a lot of time to organize again. less time.

"That's good. It gives the Manufacturing Bureau more time to produce artillery shells."

Ren Pingsheng could only think like this.

However, when he thought that these people would eat half of his granary in a day, Ren had never wanted the war to come as soon as possible, to finish it as soon as possible, and to end it as soon as possible!

Ren Pingsheng smiled at the oval-faced woman in front of him and said, "You go down first. If any telegrams are sent about Liu Heima's departure, send them to Minister Xiaowan and me immediately."

"yes."

After ringing the bell and giving a blessing, he withdrew.

Back at the back house, after Ren Pingsheng had dinner, he spoke to Xiaowan, stretched out his golden right hand, opened the bedroom door, and left the county government office.

Since the war cannot start in a day or two, he plans to return to Earth first.

The area of ​​​​the transit space has expanded a bit, and it is already fifty-two square meters. Moreover, it generally presents a square space, so the height of more than seven meters already makes this space look very empty.

Ren Pingsheng looked around the space and wondered whether he should decorate the transit space.

This space can be decorated into a duplex apartment, so that you have a portable residence.

This thought was thrown away, after all, on the other side of the door is his own house and villa. Carrying a place to stay is obviously superfluous.

Ren Pingsheng picked up the mobile phone on the shelf and turned on a sterilizer in front of the door. The disinfectant water combined with ultraviolet light was swept over his body.

After finishing the disinfection, Ren Pingsheng opened the door and returned to his old home on Earth.

Because of preparations for war and another breakthrough in practice, I haven't been back for a while.

The room was dark and had a dull smell.

There was no fresh air system installed in the room, so Ren Pingsheng walked to the window and opened it for ventilation.

"The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..."

A DJ version of dance music came in.

Even the cold weather can't stop the love of square dancing among adults.

Tweeters and loudspeakers, small steps in the square, the most beautiful thing is the red sunset.

Ren Pingsheng also changed into sportswear, tied his hair in a bun, exposed his forehead, and went out for a night run.

He planned to test how far he could leave here after breaking through bone training and developing energy.
