In the middle of the night, the people in Balizhuang were immersed in their sleep. On a quiet night, they suddenly remembered three gunshots. Li Guolou picked up the revolver under the pillow. The man had already sat up. He ran to the window and looked at the village with lights. He thought about it and did not walk out of the door. He fell asleep again. When something big happened, the guards would call him. When something small happened, his subordinates would handle it. He would hold on to everything and do everything himself. Just like Zhuge Liang, he would not live long. I believe that his subordinates could block their own side and make them accustomed to doing things independently.

Listen for a while. The gunshots stopped ringing. It seemed that nothing big happened. Li Guolou fell asleep slowly.

Early in the morning, Li Guolou stepped out of the room and asked the guard at the door. He said, "Xiao Liu. Why did he shoot last night?"

"Report to Captain Li. Last night, someone secretly wanted to approach the south gate of Balizhuang. He was guarded by the soldiers who were guarding fired a gun to warn him. Later, those people retreated. The guards at the south gate said that they were dark at night. They didn't see how many people were. At least a dozen people were." Guard Liu Yu answered clearly.

"Yeah. I understand." Li Guolou nodded and left the watchtower.

He doesn't like houses like watchtowers. The windows are small and the light is very dark. There is no light in the broad daylight. When staying in the watchtowers, people will feel depressed. There is an indescribable smell of lamp oil in the entire watchtower. Maybe it's the musty smell.

Li Guolou stretched his muscles and bones in the yard, wondering who would be uneasy and kind to touch him at night.

The horse thief is impossible. You should know that he has not left. The horse thiefs have seen the armed forces of the officers and soldiers and there are martial arts masters here. Then Zhengjiang, a bully village in Qilitun, was trying to launch a raid at night and then kidnap again. He might also want to kill some officers and soldiers in the dark and shock the tiger. Yesterday, the outsiders who came to work in the village during the day must have had spies from Qilitun.

Li Guolou was frowning. The matter in Qilitun was difficult to resolve. The government also had to take care of the feelings of local villagers in the judgment. The hatred that had been buried for decades between villages was not solved at once. What's more, local officials like to argue. Today, they would like to say a few good things to Balizhuang and get some benefits. Tomorrow, they would also help Qilitun to speak. The orders were changed every day and the judgment documents were not useful.

Li Guolou originally wanted to set an example. Be a farmer and do farm work for a day. He personally experienced the hard work of the farmers. Think about it, let it go. This is meaningless. Can a farmer improve the life of Balizhuang? There are hired farmers in the fields. He used his official power to suppress those restless people. He wanted the people here to be respectful and afraid. How could he get along with the local people?

After the morning exercise and after washing, Li Guolou changed into his official uniform, dressed up neatly, and showed his official power. He held a whip wrapped in golden silk and walked towards the courtyard in all directions. The morning exercises of the officers and soldiers and civilian team members there were shouting slogans in full swing.

The dozens of people in the courtyard were divided into three teams. One team was composed of constables. Ai Hai led twenty people to do exercises. The movements were meticulous and looked the most pleasing to the eye.

A team of 50 civilian team members led by Sun Yue did exercises. The movements were no worse than those of the officers and soldiers. Some people did it inexplicably. Sun Yue knocked on the military stick in his hand.

There is also a team of security teams composed of villagers from Balizhuang. More than 30 newly reorganized people. Under Wu Jinshui, they can only stand at attention, rest, turn left, and turn right. The security team does not have real guys in their hands. They all hold fire sticks.

Ai Hai ran towards Li Guolou. His movements looked stiff, but they were absolutely standard. He shouted loudly: "Report to Captain Li. The morning exercises were completed. Please instruct."

"Very good." Li Guolou saluted and shouted: "I am now ordering the first team to run a kilometer with a load and set off."

"Za." Ai Hai glared and held the spear in his hand on his shoulder and shouted loudly: "The first team. Raise the gun. Arrange in a vertical formation......"

Twenty-one officers and soldiers carried long spears and shouted slogans to run out of the compound first. Then the civilian team members also ran out. In the end, more than thirty security team members were driven out by Wu Jinshui like driving ducks.

Wu Jinshui ran at the end and turned around and said, "Captain Li, under my command, these bastards will be as fierce as men if they are not out for three days."

Li Guolou shook his whip and shouted: "Mr. Team Wu is not allowed to talk nonsense. Go forward with me."

Slogans came from the street. The child followed the running people curiously. The lapis saw so many people running. He hurriedly huddled into the corner of the road. The smoke from cooking stoves rose from the thatched hut. A new day in Balizhuang has begun.

Li Guolou stood at the gate of Yunmeng Watchtower. He looked at the village office not far away. The office should be placed in the village office. He should not just seek convenience in his own life. The rules he should have should set an example. Yunmeng Watchtower will be a private property in the future. People should not live in it. They must move out in the future.

Seeing his children watching him on the street, Li Guolou couldn't help but miss the orphans he adopted. He should have been to the capital this afternoon. His family saw so many children coming to him. I don't know what he would be busy.

Are you suitable to be a local official? A large group of people in rags are supported by him and they must make contributions to the country. This large community has to hand over public grain and serve labor. The books portray officials as dog slaves who suppress the people. But without these officials, they collect the grain and let the people build public facilities. How the state machinery works? A society without exploitation does not exist. It is necessary to confiscate the fruits of the people's labor in a legal way. But it is the responsibility of local officials to see hope, improve their lives and live a life of adequate food and clothing.

Li Guolou murmured to himself: "Break the silver. The worst is it to lose the silver. What's the big deal? Anyway, I have money. I have a lot of protection fees collected. I gave it to the people here to the people here for a lot of flowers."

He will take charge of the account in the Tianzi Gang in the future. What are you afraid of? Li Guolou looked at the blueprint of Balizhuang in his eyes. It has turned into tiled houses and luxuriant houses. Red men and green women walk around the streets. A tourist town with colorful flowers has begun to take shape. It is time to compile some legends about Yunmeng Mountain and Balizhuang. Li Guolou's fairy tales of Grimm in his mind. What can be stolen here?

Suddenly I remembered a big event. A big event that happened in history. Li Guolou Yang brought Zheng Hengdan to the bookkeeper. "Have you eaten breakfast after a small shoulder pole?"

"Hehe. I've eaten it. I ate it with my wife. Sweet date porridge. Captain Li. I brought a jar of hot porridge. You can eat some." Zheng Hengdan raised the basket in his hand, which wrapped a teapot in it with a flower cloth.

"Oh, take the small shoulder pole into the kitchen first. I'm going to wait for the officers and soldiers to come back to have breakfast together. Let's talk while walking. Let's sit in the living room for a while. I have something to ask you to do." Li Guolou would not eat food of unknown origin. Let the dog eat a few bites first. Only then can people dare to eat it. He is full of distrust of the villagers in Balizhuang. But on the surface, Li Guolou made an intimate move and even patted Zheng Hengdan's shoulder with praise. It seemed that Zheng Hengdan was grateful to him and thought of him.

In the living room, Li Guolou smiled and said, "Don't be restrained with a small shoulder pole. Have a sip of tea first. Good tea. You can't grow good tea from the north."

"Well. The first time in my life I have had such good tea." Zheng Hengdan blew the green leaves on the tea cup. He smelled the fragrance of the tea leaves in his breath. A layer of mist had appeared on his glasses, making it impossible to see his little eyes clearly.

Li Guolou said, "The small shoulder pole is done. I will give you a pound of Maofeng in Huangshan. What I want to tell you is a topic I studied at a meeting yesterday. I must turn Balizhuang and Yunmeng Mountain in front into a tourist attraction that can compete with Xiangshan. In this way, the lives of the people here can improve. Just rely on farming. There is no hope that you can surpass Qilitun. Your life here will not improve much. I will raise money to build roads, build sacred temples, and build some famous places and historical sites to make tourists interested in coming here for a few days. What about climbing and hunting? But I found that you have too few famous places and historical sites. So you need to create some immortal caves, Laojun Furnace, etc. and so on. That gully can be adapted into the ruins of the war between Emperor Gaozong of Song and the Liao people. At that time, throw some Song Dynasty weapons and armor down in the gully. You can dig them out."

"Oh." Zheng Hengdan looked at Li Guolou, feeling deeply moved. He didn't know what language to express it.

Li Guolou continued education and said: "Little shoulder pole. The task I assigned to you is to find the lost historical culture and find out which ancient people Balizhuang has to do. National heroes like Li Guang and Qi Jiguang can be related. You can also get a little further away from Guiguzi. Do you understand?"

"Oh, Lord Li. What should I do?" Zheng Heng was worried and didn't know what work he wanted to do.

"Oh." Li Guolou sighed. Nabazi was not here. There was no smart person to do things. He was very troubled. He should not be spit out of his mouth. His tall and wise image was destroyed in the hands of Balizhuang's mud legs.

He said helplessly: "Little shoulder pole. You have to learn to be alone. I'll remind you. For example, in history books, does Li Guang station in Youbeiping? Didn't he go into the mountains to hunt and shoot a tiger. When he approached, he saw the arrow shot into a stone. You found the archery stone. Li Guang shoots the tiger stone and build a pavilion. This is the famous scenic spots and historical sites that tourists can visit. Do you understand Bang Mag?"

At this point, if Zheng Hengdan was not familiar with the world, Li Guolou would dismiss Zheng Hengdan's position as the "Letter Officer" on the spot.

"I understand, I understand, but Chief Li will do this." Zheng Hengdan still didn't believe it, afraid that he would be embarrassed and would hurt Balizhuang's weather.

Li Guolou could no longer hold back his temper. He knocked on Zheng Hengdan's forehead and shouted angrily: "Little shoulder pole. You are stupid in your reading. This is how famous places and historical sites come from. How can there be any footprints of immortals? Everyone is a fool. Then I will find some famous scholars to write a few poems and essays. I will take the right to speak in my hands. How much money will I spend for you in Balizhuang? Building ten Yunmeng Towers is more than just a fool. I am unlucky to meet a fool like you."

Zheng Hengdan was originally an injured person. Now it was a bit worse. He had a tumor on his head and was hunched over. He said anxiously: "The villain knew he was wrong. The villain went to travel around now. Turning the manger in Balizhuang into a historical scenic spot that Grandpa had used. It was Qi Jiguang's credit for turning the well into a sweet spot."

"Well, I am a good official to do it to the end. Build another hot spring hotel. You can check it out and build a hotel." Li Guolou gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He liked to do things to the extreme. After comprehensive consideration, he planned it into a big blueprint.

"Oh. I'll draw pictures below. Let's prepare now."

Li Guolou waved his hand and said, "Little shoulder pole. Go and go to the mountains and rivers. First, search and record it. Let the official appraisal. If you have someone, I don't have someone. If you have someone, I don't have someone, I don't have someone. Don't be told as a joke."

Zheng Hengdan understood the meaning of the superior. He bowed his head and left the living room. Although Li Guolou left pain and scars on him, Zheng Hengdan did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he was proud of it. The person who recommended himself had real materials. He would make Balizhuang a famous place comparable to Xiangshan.

Li Guolou shook his eight-character steps and walked towards the dining room. On the table were six raw eggs, half-life beef, as well as vegetable porridge, salted duck eggs, and pickles. The end was over with the joys and sorrows of his subordinates. As the chief, he was eating Xiao Du. It was natural.

The heights are so cold. Li Guolou sat in the empty dining room. Suddenly he felt that he became unattainable. The more he climbed up, the fewer people would sit on the same level. There would be no friends when he sat on the high position. Only slaves and confidants. The distance between him and his subordinates was getting farther and farther away. No one of the same level deserved to be asked by him. He recited poems and essays. The pain of loneliness was buried in his heart. Li Guolou calmly broke the raw eggs in his hand. He hoped that his family would take care of his daily life.
