Behind me is the earth

"Brother Ruan Tang is so beautiful."

During the check-in period, Ren Pingsheng looked at the photos sent by Ruan Tang via QQ.

In the photo, Ruan Tang's nose and face were red from the cold, with a thick scarf wrapped around his neck. He smiled sweetly and was holding a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon for a locomotive that had successfully completed its test run.

"The photos are good, brother, you worked hard!"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the familiar avatar and couldn't help but said teasingly.

"Hmph~"

Ruan Tang responded with the expression of a arrogant little girl.

During her few days in Qingshui County, she really relied on her electromagnetic power and sensed the surrounding electromagnetic spectrum to establish a signal base station. Between the county town and Qingcheng, the two were able to chat through chat software.

When Ren Pingsheng saw that she really had such abilities, he planned to bring a few more mobile phones over, ask Ruan Tang to use his powers to build a few more base stations, and then set up servers to create a network in a small area.

"The Chinese New Year will be in a few days. I will send someone to pick you up then. Let's go back to Earth during the Chinese New Year."

Ren Pingsheng said to Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang sent an animated picture of a well-behaved cat nodding: "Okay."

Then, a video application was sent.

Ren Pingsheng clicked on the link and saw Ruan Tang sitting under the eaves of the yard. There was heavy snow outside, and there was a big snowman with a carrot in the yard.

"Honey, isn't this snowman beautiful? I built it!"

Ruan Tang said proudly.

“(⊙o⊙)…”

Ren Pingsheng then remembered that Ruan Tang was from the south and probably didn't have many opportunities to see snow. The snow in Qingshui County was particularly heavy this year, which made her happy.

At this time, a ghost-like girl in a white dress suddenly floated across the screen.

"Well······"

Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a while.

"Chu Chu is now constantly adjusting and adapting to her own magnetic field, and there are powers that help her control herself every day."

Ruan Tang explained, then turned back: "Chu Chu, go buy a pound of mutton on the street. Let's eat cumin mutton noodles for lunch today."

"good."

Bai Chuchu responded, took the silver, floated out from the wall, and went to the market to buy meat.

"Husband, the train has been successfully tested. Next, the Qixing Vehicle Manufacturing Factory can start production. I think after next spring, we should be able to manufacture a few locomotives.

Wait until next year, we can take the bus to Hukou Town and pass by Yunlong Lake in the middle! "

Ruan Tangchang said.

As long as the tracks are laid, towns along them can develop.

Moreover, the surrounding countryside will also gather near the train track. Because when the train track is laid, people will definitely have to be assigned to guard the train track and clear away the living corpses nearby. This can ensure the safety of the surrounding area. In the unstable natural and social environment, personal safety is very attractive to the people. The force is great.

"As the new year comes around, we need to ask the people from the Department of Highways to take action quickly."

Ren Pingsheng also has great expectations for trains.

Today's carriages and horses are very slow, the roads are bad, and safety is a concern. Once the railway line is laid, it will immediately change the current situation. There are so many benefits!

"Master, Master Liu is here."

While Ren Pingsheng and Ruan Tang were chatting sweetly, Huzi ran to the door and reported.

"Let him in."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Hang up now and we'll talk in the evening."

"Okay~"

The connection is interrupted.

At this time, Liu Qiang also walked in. He shook his body before entering the door, shook off the flying snow all over his body, and walked into the house refreshed.

"Qiangzi, your martial arts is about to enter the transformation phase, right?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Liu Qiang shook his head and said: "It's still far away. I'm afraid it will take another year and a half."

He took off his black cloak and hung it on a hanger beside him, and said: "My lord, Bai Hu and Qin Sheng are leading two thousand regular soldiers to the north. News has just been sent back that all four towns on the back of Yunlong have been captured. In the future, Encounter any resistance.”

"Um."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

This was within everyone's expectations, but there was nothing to get excited about.

"After the New Year, we can organize landless farmers to go to Yunlong County. Mining personnel can also go to Huoshuo Town to mine coal.

How many recruitment tasks have been completed now? "

Liu Qiang reported: "Lord, now, there are more than 12,000 people selected from the militia camp. The militia has checked the household registers and found that there are more than 96,000 young people in total. The current militia has 74,000 people. More than a thousand people are conducting rotation training for these militiamen.

We lack instructors, lack firearms and weapons, and training is under great pressure. "

"How many equipment gaps are there?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Liu Qiang said: "The equipment of the regular soldiers is currently sufficient, but the gap in the militia is relatively large. The production bureau and our armory have more than 40,000 flintlock rifles and more than 30,000 pairs of rattan armor, each with 10,000. Five thousand flintlock muskets, and twenty-five thousand vine armor gaps.”

"It's not much. Waiting until next spring, with the current production efficiency of the bureau, it won't be a big problem.

Now we should train well, lead the new with the old, and promote more grassroots officers in the militia camp for training. If the grassroots officers are not enough, the regular platoon commander officers can also go to the militia camp to help and train the militia camp as soon as possible. "

Ren Pingsheng attaches great importance to the militia battalion, not only because the militia battalion is low-cost and can fight wars, but also because the militia battalion is the reserve force of the regular soldiers, supplying a steady stream of fresh blood to Yuntai Guards.

Militiamen who have been baptized on the battlefield are all very good sources of soldiers. After being absorbed into Yuntai Guard, they are often more brave and reliable than recruits recruited directly from society.

"I see."

Liu Qiang understood Ren Pingsheng's thoughts: "As long as the martial arts hall is here, I will make good use of the martial arts hall to quickly cultivate a group of grassroots officers with quality, ability and responsibility."

After sending Liu Qiang away, the snow in the sky showed no intention of stopping.

"so cold!"

Wu San, from the Department of Civil Affairs, wore a plain white official uniform, rubbed his hands and left the room on duty. Although he was promoted to the chief of the Selection Section of the Department of Civil Affairs after the end of Guanzheng, and became the lowest deputy section official, he did not have an independent duty station and could only squeeze in more than 30 people with his staff. square office.

Fortunately, the stove in the duty room was burning brightly and the room was very warm.

"The weather is extremely cold this year. If charcoal hadn't been cheap this year, I don't know how many people would have froze to death!"

"Thanks to the governor's foresight and taking over Yunlong County, the coal mine is now in the hands of the Ministry of Industry. It is of course cheaper to bring it in and sell it."

"Section Chief, this is the document just sent from the Political Affairs Section. It was arranged by Director Liu himself."

An official took the document and walked up to Wu San.

Wu San took the paper. The surface of the paper was white and smooth. It should be the new paper just produced by Qingcheng Paper Factory as advertised before.

"Recommend candidates to be mayors of the four northern towns of Yunlong County. Didn't we already compile a list before?"

After looking through the documents, Wu San said.

The official pointed to the two names circled in red pen and said: "I sent them here before, and the director was not very satisfied with these two people.

It is said that the work experience of these two people is that they both worked in the department. They have no grassroots work experience and no experience in presiding over comprehensive work. As for the four counties in northern Yunlong, firstly, people's livelihood is in decline and they urgently need to restore people's livelihood and production; secondly, they are located on the front line. If a war breaks out next year, they will also need to help the army raise food and grass. They need people with both grassroots work experience and sufficient organizational capabilities. people. "

"so······"

Wu San took the documents, found his desk and sat down, rubbing his brows and thinking about competent personnel over and over in his mind.

"Go and find me all the files of previous candidates."

The job of the selection department is to study people, and it is his power to put these people in a different position. But while exercising power, striking a balance and putting the right people in the right place is the time to test his abilities.
