Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

Chapter 79 The Earth-shaking Changes in Xujia Town

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun rises and the moon sets ten times...

On this day, at dawn, Chen Pingan, who lived in the south of the village, opened his eyes habitually, reached out to the bed, pulled the thin wire, and with a click, the room suddenly became as bright as day.

Seeing this, Chen Pingan instantly became alert.

Oh! Great! This isn't a dream. This is all real. These past few days, Chen Pingan has been checking every morning when he wakes up.

The eldest young master is right, life will get better and better.

Chen Ping'an is nearly fifty years old, and he never dreamed that life would be like this. A few days ago, the militia came to his house and pulled the wires and installed the lights, saying it was the same treatment as a soldier's family. Haha, old man Li next door was so envious that his eyes turned red. Who told your son not to hide better and let the White Army draft him...

But Chen Pingan couldn’t understand how the water flowing down from the mountain could make the lights light up?

At this time, the voice of the daughter-in-law was heard outside the door.

"Dad, I'm going to work. Gousheng and Xier won't be in school today. Please help keep an eye on them!"

"Okay! Don't worry! I'll take them to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon..."

Chen Pingan quickly responded. Now facing his daughter-in-law, Chen Pingan did not dare to neglect her at all, because she was working at the cave construction site. Although she was just cooking there, it made the villagers extremely envious.

Because the eldest young master said that as long as you participate in the construction of the cave site throughout the process, you can buy the small villa at half price. In addition, soldiers also have a half-price discount. It is equivalent to the Chen family getting a house for free. Chen Pingan didn't believe it at first until the eldest young master spent seven days to build a model house.

Wow! A two-story building with white walls and transparent windows. And all that furniture, especially that thing called "Shafa"—it's so soft and so comfortable! No wonder it's called "Shafa"—it makes anyone who sits on it feel silly. I heard that when it's full, water will automatically bubble up. It's like a place where gods live...

......

As the sun set in the east, Chen Pingan led his two children along the sidewalk beside the highway. The road was more than ten feet wide and ran through the entire Xujia Town until it reached the karst cave...

Chen Ping'an would stamp his feet on the road from time to time to check it out. This road was stained with his sweat.

Thinking of the so-called large-scale construction campaign in the town, Chen Pingan couldn't help but sigh. It was right, there is strength in unity. Hundreds of people from the whole town were mobilized to work day and night. The road was finally completed yesterday, so he can have a day off today.

Two children were jumping and skipping in front! Chen Pingan looked at the two little figures with loving eyes. They were clean and dressed in white and blue school uniforms!

That's wonderful! The young master is such a kindhearted person! A few days ago, the mayor personally brought a propaganda team to do some work, saying that all children over seven years old must go to school unconditionally, with free tuition, free lunch, and even clothes...

Suddenly, a group of people came from a distance!

"Gousheng, Xier, come back quickly! The prisoners are here! Don't run around!"

The two little guys immediately hid behind their grandfather, sticking their little heads out to look at him curiously.

On the road, a dozen armed militiamen were escorting several hundred people. They were lined up in neat rows, wearing the same blue clothes and silver bracelets. Strangely, they all looked energetic, but they looked at their companions with a somewhat unfriendly look...

As the team passed by, Chen Pingan spat. "Serves him right. Why did he choose to be a bandit? Look! Now he has to undergo labor reform. Alas! The young master is just too kind-hearted and doesn't want to commit more crimes."

Hehe! My daughter-in-law told me that at first they were reluctant to work, but the young master had a plan. He just had one thing going for them: "Work and you'll eat." If you work well, you get chicken legs, cigarettes, and even a sip of wine. He immediately got them under control. I mean, why would the young master waste all that money? What kind of work won't they do after a whip?

We continued forward and soon arrived near the ancestral hall.

Chen Pingan comes here whenever he has time these days. The changes here are really huge. He walked into Qiannan Bank.

"I want to exchange some banknotes!" Chen Pingan took out a handful of silver dollars. This was all the family's assets. He had to exchange them all today. One silver dollar could be exchanged for ten yuan. He had to buy more things today!

"OK, just a second!"

After hearing this, Chen Pingan could see the woman across from the counter clearly.

"Oh! It's Miss Meixiang! No, it should be President Xu! Why are you on duty?"

"Uncle Ping'an, don't call me president. We're short on staff right now, and I'm just filling in the gaps!"

After some chatting and laughing, Chen Pingan got a stack of banknotes, happily led his children, and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative nearby. Everyone was rushing to work during the day, so there were not many people at this time!

I remember that eight days ago, the supply and marketing cooperative opened, which shocked everyone in the village. The deputy mayor actually gave up his job and became the general manager of the supply and marketing cooperative. He boasted to everyone that the family business doubled under his leadership.

According to villagers, Li Jiancai emptied his family's savings and took 1% of the dividends from the supply and marketing cooperative. Many people thought he was going to lose a lot of money.

But unexpectedly, on the opening day, the villagers were dumbfounded. They heard that 80,000 banknotes were sold in one day, which was 8,000 oceans!

There's nothing you can do about it. The supply and marketing cooperative is simply too unique! There are many things that no one has ever seen before, and the prices are so cheap that it's amazing.

For example, thermoses are rare items rarely seen in the city, but we have them here for only 5 yuan. We also have lighters for yuan each. Who still uses matches when smoking these days?

In addition, all the goods are placed on the shelves. You can look at them and choose them yourself. After you have made your choice, you can just go to the door to pay. However, the supply and marketing cooperative only accepts banknotes, not dollars, and they also check your ID card because only locals can get such cheap prices.

Thinking of his ID card, Chen Pingan fumbled around on his body. Ah! Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten to bring it. Looking at the colorful portrait on the card, Chen Pingan was very proud.

Haha! I was also a handsome guy when I was young...

As soon as they entered the supply and marketing cooperative, the two children couldn't stop drooling. Chen Pingan took out a few banknotes, and the two children immediately went to look for the "rat shit" they had been thinking about!

Chen Pingan himself pushed a small cart and started shopping...

Hmm! This looks like a facial mask. I'm going to buy one for my wife. My daughter-in-law works really hard. I'm going to buy her some honey and some sunflower seeds to eat while we watch a movie tonight...

Thinking of watching movies, Chen Pingan blushed. Movies were shown every five days in the Black Temple Square. It was the first time that many people saw moving people, and they were scared to tears, including himself. Because of this, he was often laughed at by that hateful old man Li!

Oh! Bring another box of tea for Old Man Li. It's not easy for him to be alone! Fortunately, the eldest young master is kind-hearted. The lonely old man can go to the Red Army to eat for free...

-------------------

At the same time, in the Black Temple Camp.

Xing Zhiguo's eyes were bloodshot, and he bent his head and wrote quickly. He could never finish writing, absolutely could not finish writing. The records of the past few days had almost used up a bottle of pen ink.

I always thought that Mr. Xu had super strategic and tactical command capabilities, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xu's strongest ability was governance and organizational ability. Those fantastic methods could actually make the masses respond actively.

First, there was the militia production team, which assigned 100 people to take on all the agricultural production tasks in the town. Mr. Xu said this was called releasing labor.

The second is to open banks, issue banknotes, and recycle gold. The most powerful thing is to open supply and marketing cooperatives to promote consumption among the people and stimulate them to take the initiative to make money.

Then the big construction officially begins!

In just ten days, Xing Zhiguo would find something different every day after returning from fighting the bandits. First of all, the people's mental outlook, everyone was smiling. Secondly, Xujia Town had undergone earth-shaking changes, with a spring water power station being built on the top of the mountain. Wow, with a drop of only two hundred meters, fifteen small power stations could be built. That engineer named Gao Ming was so amazing.

There is also the project of bringing electric lights into homes. Mr. Xu said that this is to allow the people to obtain practical benefits.

Especially the resident resettlement project. As soon as the model house was unveiled, the entire Xujia Town seemed to be running at full speed, and everyone rushed to join in the construction.

Mr. Xu's methods are truly horrible.

There's also the road hardening project, and that incredible airport project. We're actually going to have airplanes! Oh my god! The cave project will probably take another two weeks to complete. I really want to see what the airplanes look like sooner rather than later.

......

Suddenly, there was a burst of electrical noise from the walkie-talkie on the table!

Immediately afterwards, Xing Zhiguo ran towards the regiment tent frantically!

"Brigade Commander, Regimental Commander, this is bad! The frontline scouts are reporting that a full-strength regiment of the Central Army has just entered Fengxi City! Liu Changqing may need to relocate!"
