    As soon as the morning sun rose, the road became busy, with horse-drawn carriages full of gravel, shovels and people wandering around.  Whenever it encounters a big hole, the carriage will stop immediately. The people on the carriage jump out, then the people on the carriage throw down their shovels and shovel down the sand and gravel. The people below are busy filling the sand and gravel into the pit.  The pit is then mixed with lime during the filling process, and then compacted with a shovel, and then compacted with a wooden tamping hammer on the vehicle. After compaction, people will come from behind to drive buffaloes, mules, horses and other livestock, using  Huge stones flattened the road.  Everything is so orderly, just like it has been since the beginning of time.  The problem is that the time when this scene should have appeared was not in the late Ming Dynasty, but after liberation.  Lu Xun once said that there is no road in the world. When more people walk, there will be a road. This is a true portrayal of most roads before the founding of the People's Republic of China.  Because maintaining a road network covering a territory of 9.6 million square kilometers requires at least extremely strong control and organizational capabilities at the grassroots level to ensure that once a road is seriously damaged, someone will repair it immediately.  This point is estimated that many people who knock on the keyboard will not understand, but Li Shouhan understands it, because he has done related work before, and has a deep understanding of this hard work.  (Those great masters who easily mobilized hundreds of thousands of mechanized troops who were armed to the teeth during the Anti-Japanese War and beat up and beat up the Japanese in various ways can go to hell! Don¡¯t tell me where you will get such oil and technical support personnel.  Not to mention that the water network area in southern China is not conducive to the movement of mechanized troops and heavy equipment. Even in places such as North China, the road conditions before liberation basically meant that trucks were just waiting to be pulled out by donkeys! Even the transportation network at that time!  The Northeastern region has the best construction level. The Japanese have worked hard here for many years and it can be regarded as the most developed transportation network. However, the Soviet Red Army is constantly complaining about this level of transportation.  Bricks flew over. "Nonsense! I have read countless memoirs written by German generals, and they are full of complaints and complaints about the shabby traffic conditions in the Red Empire! If it weren't for the shabby traffic and bad weather, I would  The Third Reich had already paraded in Moscow, drank the Urals, and the tracks of the Panzer IV tanks ran over Crimea! "Masters, you said that the road traffic situation in the Soviet Union is not good, but that also depends on who you compare with. What's going on with the Soviet Union?  It is also an industrialized country in Europe with a complete industrial system and can manufacture all kinds of industrial equipment and vehicles. China was a purely agricultural country at that time, a semi-colonial and semi-feudal agricultural society. How could he know better?  A huge system needs a leader, but he does not have the ability of a certain Shaoshan cheater to easily recruit hundreds of thousands of cadres. He can only imitate the Japanese, organize road protection teams along the highway, and recruit local young people to participate.  , issue silver coins, provide tools, provide food rations, purchase sand, gravel, lime and other building materials, and allocate land and houses.  It is even stipulated that if the family members of the road protection team have weddings, funerals, building new houses, etc., the government will also give some congratulatory gifts.  In those days, this treatment was still very attractive, so young people along the highway participated one after another, including two people, Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai.  Speaking of these two people, we must contact the slave and tenant changes discussed by the former.  The two of them are from southern Jiangxi, where local tyrants and evil gentry have been rampant since ancient times. According to the founding leader, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance.  Since you local tyrants and evil gentry are running rampant and lawless, the Chinese people who dare to attack heaven and kill the emperor will naturally not let them go lightly.  These two are the best among them.  But in the beginning, because he had no backing, he could only scare the big players and get away with it after eating two meals of wine and meat.  But since the road was built near their home, they suddenly felt like the clouds had cleared.  Oh, it turns out you can do this.  So, they organized the brothers who had been involved in the slave rebellion together and joined the road protection team. Then, with the weapons they received from the road protection team, they surrounded their employer's courtyard with water, almost scaring the employer.  Had to die on the spot.  Then the two told their owners that they must immediately burn all the deeds of sale and free the slaves.  Burn all the debt certificates and re-sign the IOUs according to the interest rates promulgated by the government. If the debt has been paid off according to the interest rates promulgated by the government, then it will be written off immediately!  At the same time, the New Deal was implemented immediately, and landowners and wealthy owners had to hand over their accumulated debts over the years.  Whenever one thing is not satisfied, the brothers of the road guard team are willing to rush into the compound to satisfy the host's female relatives, and by the way, they can also satisfy Liu Zuo's personal hobby of growing radishes.  The so-called planting of radishes means burying people alive with their heads down. Because the people will not die for a while, their legs will still move for a while. It is particularly picturesque. If it is photographed, whether it is in the strong contrast of red, green and gold colors,  , or the ink-and-wash effect that has just become popular recently, I believe both of them can be more successful at the box office than any of Lao Mouzi's films.  Of course, it is possible that the footage will be edited or even banned because it is too excessive. However, if that is the case, those selling pirated copies will come back again.The world is full of rivers and lakes.  Upon hearing Liu Zuo's warning, ordinary landowners and wealthy family members would be so frightened that they would open the door and cry for mercy, saying that you are welcome to satisfy my daughter, Mr. Liu Zuo, but since you are about to become my son-in-law, there is no need to plant radishes.  Come on.  Seeing that he had relented, Liu Zuo did not burn, kill or plunder. He just asked him to hand over some money, fulfilled his previous promise, and left.  But this incident caused huge waves. Since there was a leader, the people of southern Gansu who had been bullied by the officials and gentry would certainly follow suit.  The literati under the officials and gentry did not dare to resist openly, so they had to secretly say, what a bullshit road guard team, this is a bandit team, specializing in robbing good people.  It's a pity that they forgot that the group of people they were protecting had been bandits for two thousand years, and they didn't see any dissatisfaction among them.  In the final analysis, whether the bandits are bandits or not is a trivial matter; whether they have a share of what the bandits rob is a big deal.  You know, if there is no financial support behind the bandits, is it surprising that they can succeed?  !  You know, the whole world now understands that the biggest supporter of raising terrorists, oh no, is raising little devils, is the thorn of the beautiful family and other departments!  After a lot of hard work, the potholes on this section of the road have been almost filled in, and a fairly flat and wide thoroughfare has taken shape.  So Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai called their brothers to take a rest, and the two of them came together. Liu Zuo took out a steel wine bottle from his backpack, and simply filled the two drinking cups he carried with him with spring water.  After rinsing a few times, he magically took out some peanuts and some bacon meat from his backpack, casually spread the tung oil poncho on the relatively flat ground, and drank together with Wang Wencai.  After three glasses of wine, Liu Zuo suddenly said with emotion: "I'm talking about the talented old Geng, do you think if it weren't for Mr. Li, the grass on our graves would be quite tall?" Wang Wencai put down his glass of wine upon hearing this.  , and said with emotion: "Who says it's not the case? If it weren't for Mr. Li, the two of us wouldn't be drinking, let alone drinking. By the way, why do you think we are all scholars? Mr. Li, Chen Xiucai and Zhou  Why is the gap between masters so big? " Seeing this, many people are probably confused. What do you mean?  What about Mr. Li, Master Zhou and Chen Xiucai?  In fact, it is very simple. The Mr. Li they refer to is the Li Derun who appeared before.  And Chen Tuesday is also an official of Nanzhong on the ground in southern Jiangxi.  Because Liu and Wang respected Li Derun, they always called him Mr. Li, while others used the official title or even the somewhat derogatory name of "Xiucai".  Li Shouhan had strong soldiers and horses before, so not only Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai joined him, but many officials, gentry and landowners also joined him, including a famous big landowner named Chang Kaisheng.  In fact, this person is not a big landowner. At most, he is just supporting the empty posture of a wealthy gentry and landlord.  When my family was an official, I saved quite a lot of property. There were many fields and forests in the countryside, and there was also a salt tower in the city.  It's a pity that he was slow to seize the opportunity and failed to seize the distribution rights of Nanzhong Refined Salt. As a result, the salt company that originally made a lot of money was beaten to death by Nanzhong Refined Salt. From then on, the family began to decline.  This person has always been known as a rogue and speculator, and is quite proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.  So as soon as he saw Li Shouhan's momentum, he pulled out the long-term workers and tenants of his family, and then also joined the road protection team, and expressed his willingness to resolutely implement the New Deal and double the number.  The New Deal talks about reducing rent and interest, but this is not enough. I don¡¯t want rent and interest, so I just treat it as a charity.  Moreover, he took the initiative to send troops to attack other officials and gentry who resisted the New Deal, and even killed their clans at every turn.  His performance was more than three times more loyal than those old people from Conglong who had followed Li Shouhan since the Ha Tinh period!  Therefore, at first he was taken seriously, his official position was constantly promoted, and everything seemed to be perfect.  But since Li Huayu died in the battle, he didn't know when he started to change. Although there was no obvious betrayal, he kept making small moves.  According to Li Shouhan's request, any road protection team, no matter who is under the command, must arrange a certain proportion of Nanzhong cadres and trustworthy trainees, and Chang Kaisheng is no exception.  But one day, he actually claimed that the cadres and personnel assigned to his road protection team by Nanzhong intended to kill him, and that he had discovered a weapons warehouse with evil intentions.  Therefore, he proposed that these people withdraw from his road protection team and not send anyone to him in the future.  Because he had some evidence, Lu Xuezhi, the supervisor of Xinzhidao who was in charge of the matter, hesitated, and his staff also had a dispute. Liu Zuo said that Chen Xiucai advocated withdrawing because Chang Kaisheng had always performed well and should not make trouble.  turn.  Master Zhou advocated giving him more benefits, such as letting him manage more people, overseeing a larger area, and allocating him more weapons, money and food to appease Chang Kaisheng.  Only Mr. Li slapped the table and said, "You have rebelled against him. This is the lord's territory. The lord is looking at us. If we give in, what will the lord think of us? We have to give in even to a mere hooligan. Now  We launched the road protection team, where will we retreat to in the future? Will one day his wife get into an argument with someone at the vegetable market and be bullied, we will retreat to Guangdong or even Nanzhong?¡±nbsp; Under Mr. Li's initiative, based on the Southern Guangdong Army's handling of similar matters in the past, and considering Li Shouhan's possible attitude, Lu Xuezhi, as an official in charge, decided to immediately mobilize all the forces he could mobilize to suppress Chang Kaisheng.  Because Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai performed well and were loyal and reliable, they were ordered to go to quell the turmoil on Chang Kaisheng's side with an armed force that was reviled by the officials and gentry as the Juehu Team.  Under the pressure of the soldiers, Chang Kaisheng saw that something was not going well. He immediately claimed that it was a misunderstanding, announced that he would continue to accept leadership, would no longer ask for the withdrawal of Nanzhong cadres, and apologized at the same time.  Because Chang Kaisheng's behavior had not caused serious consequences, Supervisor Lu accepted it.  However, one wave came after another. Seeing that Chang Kaisheng could not drive away the Nanzhong cadres who were on the road protection team, he began to clean up his villagers and announced that as long as anyone joined the road protection team directly under the Nanzhong Central Government, they would not be allowed to return.  The reason for serving in his own Zhuang Ding team is that he can't do two things at once.  Others did not take this matter seriously, but Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai confirmed that something was wrong, so they contacted Mr. Li and asked him what he thought.  After Mr. Li listened to their report, he immediately reported to Supervisor Lu and said that the matter was not simple. As the saying goes, one must first settle the internal affairs in order to fight foreigners. I think Chang Kaisheng wanted to eliminate dissidents first, and he must not be allowed to do so.  .  Because of what happened last time, Supervisor Lu agreed with him again. In the end, Chang Kaisheng did not fire anyone, and everything continued as usual.  It was peaceful for a while, but as the Qing army moved south and the Nanjing party struggle intensified, Chang Kaisheng began to make moves again.  This time, Mr. Li asked Supervisor Lu Xuezhi for an authorization, that is, if Chang Kaisheng rebelled by force, Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai could immediately suppress it. Although Supervisor Lu agreed, he was very confused. He said: "Li  Sir, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you, but is Chang Kaisheng really that courageous?¡± Mr. Li smiled and said, ¡°Chang Kaisheng comes from a rogue background, and his most common practice is to risk everything to get rich.  The Qing army is moving south and Nanjing is in chaos. I think he will be unable to sit still. Now Liu Zuo and Yuan Wencai are by his side, but there are fewer weapons and personnel than him. If he suddenly attacks, and Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai are unprepared, it will be inevitable.  He will suffer a big loss. If he then says that some rural hooligans are attacking the road protection team, and then he pretends to spend some money to appease them, he may be able to hide the truth." As a result, as soon as he said this, he was surrounded by people at the meeting.  .  Chen Xiucai immediately retorted: "I think there is a problem with your starting point. The party we should appease has more people and more power. Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai are not local wealthy people, but just poor people from a group of Hakkas. Their foundation is unstable."  He said that the evaluation of them is not good everywhere, and some people complained to me that they are a group of ruffians and villains. If we support them instead of fighting for the strong foundation, wouldn't we still be looking at the last time Chang Kaisheng?  We should agree to let them hand over their weapons to his command. Anyway, they don¡¯t have many weapons. It doesn¡¯t matter whether they hand over their weapons or not. Our objection also offended Chang Kaisheng.¡± Master Zhou did not object to Mr. Li, but he thought Chang Kaisheng.  It is unlikely that Chang Kaisheng will suddenly change, because no matter what Chang Kaisheng is doing, it is illogical to risk his life rashly.  Faced with their doubts, Mr. Li just looked at Lu Xuezhi with a smile and said: "A hundred fire blunderbuss is just a matter of writing a note for you. Give it to Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai first. If you can use it best,  If you don't need it, I'll ask them to return it to you." Supervisor Lu finally agreed and gave him two hundred more fire guns, on the grounds that this was a reward for your two correct predictions.  As a result, on April 12, Chang Kaisheng suddenly took action, using the excuse that Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai's men were raping civilian girls. He asked his men to dress up as nearby villagers and attack Liu Zuo and Yuan Wencai armed with daggers, axes and wooden sticks.  's residence.  What they didn't expect was that before they even got close to the station, Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai opened fire with three hundred muskets, beating them to the point where they were rolling around.  Before they could react, the road guard armed with spears and broadswords rushed up, and without saying a word, they slashed and killed them. These villagers were so frightened that they forgot the purpose of coming, and quickly shouted, misunderstanding, we are Chang Kaisheng.  's subordinates.  Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai don't care about this. Anyone who doesn't surrender will be killed without mercy.  After these people were dealt with, Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai asked the surrendered Zhuang Ding to lead the way and directly attacked Chang Kaisheng's compound. Chang Kaisheng resisted for a while and initially blocked Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai's offensive.  However, because of the evidence of his rebellion, Mr. Li had already convinced his superiors to pull the cannon over. Under the bombardment of the cannon, all resistance was in vain.  In the end, Liu Zuo and Wang Wencai captured Chang Kaisheng, and then according to Liu Zuo's personal habits, Chang Kaisheng was planted with radishes. Chang Kaisheng's little wife was also admitted to the harem by Wang Wencai.  But Wang Wencai soon sold her out because she was too pretentious and said she had bad skin, so she could only wear satin clothes. She would get pimples all over her body if she wore clothes made of other materials.  Wang Wencai said that he could not afford to support such a prodigal woman, so he could support whoever wanted to support him.  After the turmoil was settled, Lu Xuezhi, as a meritorious person, was promoted one level by Li Shouhan, and the experience of southern Jiangxi was distributed to the entire army for reference.  And King Liu ZuoThe two literary men also got a lucky draw and were promoted to the leaders of the road maintenance teams in the entire southern Gansu region.  Wang Wencai took a sip of wine and smiled at Liu Zuo: "I told you a long time ago that I want you to read some books and know a few more words. You see, at the beginning you just planted radishes everywhere and refused to do more.  I know a few words. Now I want to write to you, but I¡¯m worried that you can¡¯t understand it!¡± ¡°What, Mr. Li wrote to you?¡± ¡°Of course! Liu Laogeng, why am I studying in ethnic studies?  A man who has been studying for several years!" As he said this, Wang Wencai took out a leather book from his arms and took out a letter from it very carefully.  "Mr. Li's letter the day before yesterday! He is very proud now! He married the beautiful woman He Guiyuan from Yongxin, and worked with the prince-consort Shi Lang! The person who sent the letter said that Mr. Shi relies heavily on Mr. Li, and all major military and political matters have to be coordinated  Mr. Li will make a decision after discussion. "If you say so, we people will have some dignity!" Liu Zuo's little eyes turned red with excitement.  However, in Li Derun's letter, he poured out his bitterness to two old friends.  "If I hadn't been unable to refuse, I would have really wanted to go back right away. I would have been busy working as Shi Lang's staff all day. It's not like being in the road construction team. I drank mountain spring water every day, ate fat fish and meat, and could go everywhere.  Traveling is so relaxing, unlike now, when I¡¯m so exhausted every day!¡±
