The next day, notices were posted at various gathering points in Guangyi County. It was said that the county magistrate had personally sent someone to post them. However, it was not this morning. Countless residents had gathered at the city gate. Since yesterday, the county town had been sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Groups after groups of soldiers were constantly patrolling the city.
Make a scene?
The Infantry Regiment in Chengdu was a good example. Li Yao's Independent Battalion was a group of demons who killed people without batting an eye. The rich merchants in the city were all well-behaved and no one dared to say anything.
"Old Man Wang, what does it say?”
At the east gate, an old storyteller pushed up his glasses with a proud expression. Although it was a county town, there were not many people who could read. After all, the old man had gone to a private school and was a cultured person.
"Let me take a look…"
The white-haired old man had just stood up when he saw the notice. After scanning it up and down a few times, his eyes widened and his breathing became a little hurried...
What if what was written on it was true?？
Then, his old man could even go and collect a relief fund at the end of the year. He had no children and lived alone...
.................................................................
"Old man, tell me. What exactly is written on it? It's making me so anxious.”
"Old man, I beg you, tell me. My curiosity has been piqued. Will taxes increase again in the future?”
"Yes, old man. What did the higher-ups say?”
The old man coughed a few times, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart. Good days were coming, really coming.
" Firstly, from today onwards, Li Yao's independent battalion will take over Guangyi County, including all the garrisons in the twelve towns under his jurisdiction. Except for the independent battalion, no other forces are allowed to station their troops in Guangyi County. If you find any suspicious people, please report them immediately!”
"Secondly, Guangyi County will begin the first round of industrial, military, and economic development plans from next month.”
"Thirdly, in order to ensure the safety of Guangyi County, as well as the subsequent security work of the towns and villages, the county magistrate's office has decided to expand the independent battalion. Young people between the ages of 16 to 25 can sign up. According to the current minimum salary of the independent battalion, each person will receive three yuan per month!!”
" Fourth…"
" Fifth…"
Old Man Wang wrote one after another. His expression was excited, and his words were filled with disbelief. If all of this was true, how good would that be?
When everyone heard these words, they could not believe it either. There was such a good thing?？
Free school for children?
Elderly people still have relief funds?
For thousands of years, there had never been such a good thing.
However, that soldier's salary was really tempting. It shouldn't be fake. Looking at the independent battalion's firearms and equipment, it was obvious that they were rich.
"Let's go, let's disperse. There aren't many words that are true. Free school? I don't believe there is such a cheap thing. I admit that our county magistrate is a good official, but only a fool would do such a loss-making business.”
"Which family has a son who wants to be a soldier? I can go and take a look. Three yuan a month should not be fake.”
" Li Yao, the devil king of chaos, can be a battalion commander? This world is really strange. What else does that kid know besides playing with women?”
"Baldy, do you want to die? What is Li Yao's current status? How can you talk nonsense like that?”
"Let's go, let's go home…"
Li Yao's plans were not expected to be trusted immediately. When he first arrived at Mount Tang Town, no one was willing to believe him either. It was just that he had brought real benefits to the villagers. Li Yao's words could be fulfilled. As time passed, people would naturally believe him.
In the Li Residence, Li Guangbei finally believed that his son had been reborn and became so outstanding. It was as if he could solve anything in his eyes.
"Son, are you really not worried that the Chengdu army will attack?”
After all, they had taken down an infantry regiment this time. A 1,000-man infantry regiment was gone just like that. Chengdu would definitely investigate. Chengdu was the largest city in Western Sichuan Province. It had a strong economy, many factories, and a military power that a small county like Guangyi could not compare to.
"Don't worry, Father. It's just a bandit group. The people in Chengdu really don't care that much about it. Besides, the people in the bandit group are all under our control now. It just so happens that a few mines have been opened in Mount Tang recently. When the time comes, we'll pull all of them over as free labor.”
"Xiong Kewu isn't the only one in Western Sichuan Province. Just wait and see. In a few months, Xiong Kewu will be in trouble.”
Li Yao was never worried about Chengdu. Firstly, Guangyi City was far away from Chengdu, almost 500 kilometers away. If they were to march on foot, it would be impossible without a few days and nights of rapid marching. Secondly, Wang Lei's infantry regiment was just a bandit regiment. Xiong Kewu could get as many bandit regiments as he wanted.
Li Guangbei really didn't know what his son had experienced.
"Alright, son. I'm old now. I'm happy to see that you've turned over a new leaf. If your mother was still around, she would definitely be happy. She hoped that you would grow up and become a successful person.”
"While Father is still capable and has some connections in this city, I will pave the way for you. In the future, when Father retires, you can also have a smooth transition.”
Li Yao was touched, too. At least the father-son relationship was not fake.
"Father, you're still young. You'll definitely live to a hundred years old.”
The father and son exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the estrangement between them disappeared. After all, they were father and son, and there was no way they could have any grudges. Besides, Li Yao was quite impressive now.
In the afternoon, at the eastern gate.
"How is it? Have the Zheng family, the Wu family, and the Xu family all seen it?”
"Teacher, Class Three will take turns to guard our people. I guarantee that not a single fly will fly out.”
"Let's block them for a week and see how long they can hold it in. When they come to me personally, we can escape with them. These families have some money on hand, and Guangyi's construction needs more funds.”
Li Yao had basically spent all the money he had spent to set up the factory in Mount Tang. The expenses of the armory, the military, and various other expenses were considered to have been balanced. This was all thanks to the few inconspicuous industrial blueprints in the Newbie Gift Bag of the Civilization War Machine. He had sold them to southern Yunnan to get the initial start-up funds.
