No one expected that the first person who spoke loudly was the leader of Changchuan Village who stood up.

He raised his arms and shouted, his broad square face turned red from excitement: "I do!"

Afterwards, the entire hall was filled with joy.

...

Leiniu territory, Kuteng Village.

Shouyi is eighteen years old this year. In the eyes of white southerners, young people of his age are just children. However, the barbarians in the north are different. Both men and women are adults at the age of ten, especially men, who are not only responsible for heavy physical work, but also responsible for the entire family.

Although he was young, Shouyi was an old man from Panshi Village. He was younger than Tianhao, and the relationship between the two was very close. Because they were not very different from each other, they had played together and had sex together, and had made an appointment to do ridiculous things like lifting up a girl's robe to see what it looked like inside.

Tianhao was extremely strict in governing the group of witches in the entire Panshi Leader. He gave these spokespersons of the gods the best treatment they can give, and at the same time made almost harsh demands on their character and personal behavior. All witches who violated the rules were killed, and the rest were either obedient and truly noble in obedience to the rules and regulations. Over the years, the education system that has been comprehensively rectified from top to bottom has been fully played out. While opening schools and educating children, the witches have also cultivated a large number of grassroots managers according to the teaching outline compiled by Tianhao.

Shouyi is one of them.

He has never understood why Tianhao chose himself to become the temporary manager of Kuteng Village.

Perhaps it was because of the friendship between the two people, or it might be because of their close relationship... It was not until they led the material transportation team to Kuteng Village, stayed here for more than a week, fully understood the situation, and the various tasks were put into operation, that Shouyi gradually understood the idea of ​​the new patriarch.

Shouyi didn't know what it meant to "boldly appoint young officials", but he knew his responsibilities.

Zu Hui and Zhenguo cannot come back for the time being, and they will receive a six-month comprehensive training in Leijiao City. This is a very complex and requires deep understanding of the study. From now on, all officials of the Leiniu Department will not only be produced through traditional recommendation methods, but also add additional learning tasks. The preliminary education work is under the responsibility of Tianhao. Only in this way can qualified grassroots officials be produced, rather than as in the past, as long as they are strong and able to beat people, they can gain the support of some people and become village leaders.

The genetic memory faults of the northern barbarians have caused many technologies to be inconsistent. They can build flexible and sturdy carriages, but for thousands of years, they have never thought that sleds that can directly slide without wheels. There are many similar problems, which have caused the difficulty of circulating materials in the cold season and there are very few exchanges between villages.

The transport team from Panshi City plunged this remote village into a sea of ​​joy. The joyful people rushed to fight off the food bags from the sled, and the frozen fish piled up like firewood surprised them. When they saw the crystal coarse salt in the pockets of the animal skin, the villagers of Kuteng Village felt the warmth from the distant royal city for the first time.

"These are all distributed to you by the king. This is the gift given to you by the king for the winter."

"Don't panic, go in order, everyone has it."

"Not allowed to go to the line. Register according to your name and call each other. If anyone dares to take more or impersonate him, the axe in my hand will not have eyes."

Everyone can get three days of rations. According to different standards for labor, women, patients, elderly people, and children, pregnant women and young children can also get a small amount of sugar.

Like most remote villages, the houses in Kuteng Village are mostly made of wooden, and only public warehouses, village gates, towers and other important buildings can see stone foundations. The scent of decay here exudes a dilapidated atmosphere. Although it is winter, there is snow on the ground, but people trampling in the village is muddy. The savages with disheveled heads have long been accustomed to urinating and defecating everywhere. They don’t know what “public health” is, and they take off their pants when needed to solve the problem.

Women should be slightly restrained in this regard. At least they will find a place to avoid most people's eyes and pee and shit. However, the biggest difference in this kind of thing is still age. Young girls are very shy and they will not expose their bodies in front of strangers. But those who have been married and have men are different. They appear more casual, especially middle-aged and elderly women over forty years old. In this regard, they are similar to men. If they meet an acquaintance when they squat down and answer, they will even take the initiative to say hello to the other party without any scruples.

After staying in Panshi City for a long time, Shouyi had long been accustomed to a clean and clean living environment. Although everyone was a barbarian and the same tribe, after coming to Kuteng Village, he deeply felt the huge difference between the two places, and his respect and admiration for Tianhao became more and more profound.

Everyone was mobilized to shovel the snow and cleared a spacious enough space in the village center square. Shouyi led a team of soldiers to find several urinating guys from the villagers who were queuing for food. The team of thousands of people was indeed very long. They lifted up their dirty and smelly leather robes in full view of the crowd and spread their legs... When the soldiers caught them, these people did not think they were wrong. They subconsciously felt that this was the acting leader from Panshi City who deliberately did not want to eat enough, so they shouted that they were not wrong. As a result, the clothes were taken off by the wolf-like soldiers, and they whipped hard in public, with flesh blooming, blood splattering, accompanied by a scorching pain... Shouyi, with a pale face, announced in public that all the violators' sorting in the team will be postponed, and it will be their turn until everyone has finished receiving the food.

"Governing the prosperous era, using heavy sanctions" is what Tianhao said to all the trainees in the Panshi City Civil Affairs Official Training Class. Shouyi will use these words as imprints and will always be engraved in the depths of his mind.

He brought five hundred soldiers.

Although they are of the same race, these soldiers from Panshi City are far superior to the guards of Kuteng Village in any aspect. Their tall and strong muscles interpret what is the perfect combination of adequate nutrition and high-intensity training; they are wearing fine and comfortable cotton underwear, and each has a cotton jacket and jacket, gray-white fabric is dyed green, and black and red stripes are sewn on the sides of the sleeves and trousers... All of this seems to be very luxurious to the people in Kuteng Village, and they are also jealous and passionate. People are talking secretly, and finally came to a common conclusion that even the leader Zu Hui's family may not be able to come up with such a luxurious set of clothes.

Tianhao has been handed over the forging technique of homogeneous steel to the great national master, but it is currently only mass-produced in major cities of the Niu tribe. The villagers of Kutengzhai were envious of the armor on the soldiers in Panshicheng, and were even more surprised that each soldier was equipped with a small crossbow. With the long sword and battle axe, the mental outlook of these soldiers was revitalized, as if the bitingly cold and powerful airflow released a violent posture, quickly sweeping away the silt aura that enveloped the Kutengzhai.

Coarse noodles, frozen fish, salt... The villagers of Kutengzhai showed extreme desire in their eyes. They lined up with ecstasy and shock to collect them, smiled happily, and whispered to the delicious food they would soon get.

In such cold weather, nothing can make people feel happy and comfortable than a pot of hot broth.

"Everyone must line up to collect the order and do not use any excuse to jump into the line. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"

"Don't urinate or defecate anywhere. Those who violate the order will have ten whips!"

"Don't make loud noises and deliberately disrupt order. Those who violate orders will have ten whips!"

Shouyi brought new village management regulations, which were actually an upgraded version of the Lei Niu Ministry law. Of course, the specific terms were not so strict. However, he was a newcomer and did not understand all aspects of Kuteng Village. He needed to establish his prestige by distributing rations and needed to obtain the support of most villagers. Shouyi kept in mind Tianhao's advice as long as your actions meet the interests and requirements of most people, you can get overwhelming support.

As for the other few who oppose the opposition, they should be closed and killed. The rectification and governance is so cruel, without tolerance, without mercy, and without so-called concessions, and the two sides coexist.

Shouyi smiled and handed a frozen fish to the old woman standing in front of her, and grabbed a handful of scattered candy from the table next to her to hand it to the child standing next to her. The grateful old woman hurriedly pulled the child down and kowtowed a few times regardless of the obstacles. Then she stood up with her hands and feet, thanked her deeply, and turned around and left.

A man who was undressed and was whipped hard because he was standing in the team and was punished in public came up. His fearful face and his body shook slightly. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Shouyi. It can be seen that he did not like this kind of occasion and was very restrained, and he could not help but want to turn around and escape.

Shouyi looked at the other party with a peaceful gaze. He took the skin pocket handed over by the man while hesitating, put it in a sufficient amount of thick noodles, picked up a frozen fish, and then used a black pottery bowl to scoop out salt from the large cloth bag. His palm gently stroked the mouth of the bowl, and poured the flat salt bowl into another skin bag the man took out.

"This is yours." Shouyi spoke in a low volume, he could not hear the meaning of blame or command, and was slightly gentle, as if he had forgotten what had happened before.

The man's eyes showed joy and joy. He couldn't believe it, and felt that the food in front of him was not very real.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished. The lightest punishment is usually to deprive the food you deserve that day. After the whipping, he was discouraged and felt that today's food was not worthy of him. However, when he saw the people who received the goods came from the distribution point happily, he felt unwilling to accept it. Revenge was impossible. The soldiers from Panshi City were all tall and big, and they were evidently eating very well. In this barbaric society where obesity represents power and majesty, fat symbolizes wealth, and muscle means strength.

With a faint expectation and luck, the men lined up in the lineup in order. They were all acquaintances in the same village, and there was no question of being in the lineup, but they were still in their original position.

He almost pounced on him, opened his arms, and with indescribable ecstasy, he held everything tightly in his arms. His left face was close to the pocket of the wardrobe, smelling the extremely comfortable and satisfying scent of rough noodles. His right face touched the cold frozen fish, but he didn't feel cold, and he couldn't even resist the urge to open his mouth and chew it directly.

Just as the man hugged the pile of food and turned around and left happily, walked out for about a hundred meters, Shouyi caught up from behind and called him.

Grab his left wrist and stuff a small handful of candy into the other person's hand.

Shouyi's eyes were bright, and a hint of gentleness appeared in his serious eyes: "Remember, you must abide by the rules in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The man stood there blankly, looking at the back of the agent leader for a long time.

Touching and guilt rose from the deepest part of my heart at the same time.

At this moment, silence is better than a thousand words.

...

In the early morning, accompanied by a harsh whistle, the entire Kuteng Village began an unprecedented comprehensive cleaning.

Everyone is responsible for the internal cleaning of their respective houses, and the public areas are under the responsibility of men. Each family with a large population produces one. Feces, discards, and dirty snow piles... They are busy until the afternoon. People who have been working hard for a day finally get a chance to rest. They suddenly find that they are suddenly enlightened. Looking at the clean and clean villages, their mood becomes more comfortable.

According to Shouyi's order, the people from Kuteng Village mobilized one after another. He dispatched 200 strong laborers to clear the surrounding area of ​​the village, and began to build a roadbed to Panshi City according to the route set by Tianhao on the drawings. This was a long-term and difficult project. According to the standards required by Tianhao, it is expected to be completed within three years.

Some men arranged to go to the mountains in the north to dig peat. This kind of thing can be found in many places. The peat veins in the north of Kuteng Village were discovered many years ago. Unlike the charcoal farm near Panshi City, this vein is buried deep in the peat and is difficult to dig. In contrast, it is much more convenient to directly cut down trees as fuel. Over time, it is abandoned by the people in Kuteng Village.

Large pieces of peat and loose charcoal powder were transported back to the village. The instructor from Panshi City quickly let the villagers of Kutengzhai know what it means to turn waste into treasure. The production of honeycomb coal does not have any technical content, but even the most picky people have to admit that this thing is indeed very good and much more useful than firewood.

Three large towers began to be built on the mountains outside the village. This place belongs to the rear of the Niu tribe territory and will not be attacked by other tribes in the south. However, even the most experienced generals cannot guarantee that the Kuteng Village will be safe forever. Although it will not accumulate large amounts of fortification towers like Panshi City, and fully arming the entire city, ordinary level of alert and military preparation are essential. Shouyi brought the tower drawings designed by Tianhao himself. These buildings will be completed by the spring of next year and are usually used for surveillance and observation. In addition to guarding against sudden attackers, they can also deal with groups of wild beasts.

The most important core of the project is to build a road to the north of the mainland.
Chapter completed!
