Behind me is the earth

Chapter 55 054. It’s easy if you do it, but it’s difficult if you don’t do it [Happy New Year! 】

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Xiaowan's pounding heart had calmed down. He was arranging his hair, which was messy due to running on the run.

She didn't want to look too embarrassed in front of the young master.

"I'm thinking about strengthening the armed forces of the escort team after the New Year."

Ren Pingsheng said.

Troubled times are already around the corner, although today's Wuzhou Province, including Yuntai County, has generally maintained the imperial system without major chaos.

However, it is actually difficult to rely entirely on government agencies to maintain the safety of the people.

For example, in Xiaowangzhuang, when a living corpse appeared in the village, they did not choose to report it to the official immediately, but chose to deal with it themselves in their own village.

This is because they are disappointed with the imperial government and do not think the imperial court can handle these problems for them.

Another one is also afraid that the government will take the opportunity to ask for money.

The people have lost confidence in government offices.

What can a court with such a loss of credibility expect in this chaotic environment?

You can only think of ways to strengthen your defense forces to protect yourself.

"Um."

Xiaowan nodded, agreeing with Ren Pingsheng's words.

"Also be careful of the mayor's side."

Ren Pingsheng sighed quietly.

"Will they also make moves?"

Xiaowan asked.

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said: "It will definitely happen. Nowadays, the tide of living corpses has become almost inevitable. Those people in the county government are not fools. They have more information channels than us. As a county official, no matter how incompetent he is, he would not dare to deal with it." If the corpse tide turns a blind eye, it will definitely take action.

However, the jurisdiction of the Fu soldiers is in Yuntai County, and the Imperial City Guards are even less likely to obey their orders. In order to guard against the Beiwan rebels, the Baihu Stations stationed in Qingshui County were all transferred to Yinshan County to wait for orders. Now, In addition to two shifts of government officials, the only thing the county can call upon is group training. "

"So... they will look at the team training in Qingcheng Town?"

Xiaowan listened to the young master's words, thought about it and said.

"good."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

"But can the few people who train in Qingcheng Town be effective?"

Xiaowan was puzzled.

"At this critical moment, the county government will definitely suppress the mayor Xie Yanwu in order to keep his hat on his head. In order to keep his hat on his head with the support of the county magistrate, Xie Yanwu will definitely pull up the league coach first.

But if you want to get the team training going, you can’t do it without money.

And where does the money come from? "

Ren Pingsheng said.

"us?"

Xiao Wan's little face suddenly showed a look of anger.

"We are outsiders in the town and have no deep foundation. Xie Yanwu treats us as fat sheep. Although Xie Yanwu and I have not met before, we already know our relationship well. At this critical moment, it is very possible that Xie Yanwu and I will fall out. Big, almost inevitable.”

Ren Pingsheng analyzed and said.

"Then what do we do?"

Xiaowan's brain was spinning hard, but she couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"Ride a donkey and read the songbook, we'll see. He Xie Yanwu wants to slaughter the fat sheep and use my money to raise his soldiers and protect his hat. He will never succeed!"

Ren Pingsheng had some plans in mind, but the actual time left for him was already very tight. It was indeed difficult to complete the plan within the limited time.

But difficulty doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Are things in the world difficult or easy? If you do this, the difficult things will become easy. If you don't do it, it will be difficult to do what is easy.

Ren has enough courage and determination to face difficulties throughout his life.

"finally reached!"

Lao Liu, who was walking about a hundred meters ahead to explore the road, had already seen the earthen city wall of Liujia Village ahead.

He felt a little excited and stood on the side of the road waiting for the team behind to catch up.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ren Pingsheng patted Lao Liu on the shoulder.

When a person is exploring the road ahead, he has to concentrate and is much more tired than others.

"Hey, when I went into the mountains to hunt in the past, I was much more tired than this."

Lao Liu waved his hand, saying it was nothing.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of Liujiacun, the door was closed tightly.

"Mr. Ren, Uncle, Old Sixth Uncle, and Uncle Shicheng and Sledgehammer, you are back!"

Just when Liu Qiang was about to knock on the door and try, a surprised voice suddenly came from above the crowd.

Everyone looked up and saw that on the wooden sentry tower above the city wall, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was shouting happily.

"It's the boy from my eldest brother's family."

Liu Qiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Ren, uncle, the village chief asked me to be on duty here. The village chief said that anyone who comes back from the village must be quarantined outside the village for an hour.

I'll go and tell the village chief first. Can you wait outside first? "

The boy shouted to everyone.

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Qiang shouted.

"Okay, uncle, just wait a moment, I'll be right back."

The boy responded with a "swish" and slipped out of the sentry tower. He hurriedly got off the city wall and ran towards the village chief's house.

"This kid Shaoyin is not afraid of slipping."

Liu Shicheng looked at the boy running around like a big black mouse and couldn't help but ridiculed him.

Liujiacun is a small village, and it didn't take long for the closed door to open slowly.

Liu Shaoyin pushed the door open with all his strength, and the old village chief limped out with his help.

"Have you... encountered a living corpse?"

When the old village chief saw the embarrassed look on everyone's faces, he immediately saw the clues.

"Yes, we encountered a large number of living corpses in the black pine forest. After breaking through the siege, we saw villagers outside Xiaowang Village being chased by living corpses..."

Liu Qiang gave a brief introduction.

"Thank you for your hard work. It was really hard along the way. Mr. Ren, let's talk to the village first."

The old village chief said softly.

"Shaowen just said that there is a rule in the village that you have to be quarantined for an hour when entering the village. How about we..."

Before Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, the old village chief waved his hand: "It's been more than half an hour since you came back from Xiaowang Village. You encountered dangers along the way. You must be tired now. Look at Xiaowan, this kid is almost standing up. If you can’t stay any longer, go to my house to have something to eat and keep warm.”

The old village chief said, walked up to Ren Pingsheng, grabbed Ren Pingsheng's arm, and walked towards the village.

His hands are steady and strong.

Ren Pingsheng led everyone into the village.

A group of people entered the village, and the movement attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Mr. Ren has only been out for two months, and he's already back with his carriage!"

"How much does this horse cost?"

"It's more than you can earn in a lifetime."

"Mr. Ren is really a capable person. I have long seen that he is extraordinary."

"Look at what Qiangzi and the others are wearing, they are promising!"

"Oh, if my son can follow Mr. Ren out, he will definitely be able to do well."

The whispers in the village were full of envy as they discussed the group of people who had just returned from Qingcheng Town.

Although Liu Qiang and the others were stained with a lot of gray-black blood from living corpses, they could still see the fine fabrics from a distance.

Moreover, a complete set of clothes at this time is already the best clothes in the eyes of ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot buy them.

"Brother Qiang, come back to celebrate the New Year."

"right."

"Come and sit at my house later."

"OK."

Along the way, villagers kept greeting Ren Pingsheng and his party enthusiastically.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Liu Qiang's wife also rushed over, and the women cooked a table of dishes.

Everyone washed their bodies at the old village chief's house, took off their coats, and then went to the carriage to take out their changes of clothes and put them on.

At this time, I was already hungry.

"Drink some wine to warm yourself up."

The village chief brought a pot of warm wine and placed it on the table.

Happy New Year!

Happy Year of the Rabbit!
