The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 382 Inside the Village 2
As the sun went down, Zhao Yanxun was invited by Gao Zhengyan to be a guest at his home.

He is the head of the village, and his family has the best conditions in the village, and there is a complete courtyard house.

As expected by Zhao Yanxun, Gao Zhengyan was the biggest landlord in the village and the patriarch of the Gao family in the village.

Gao Zhengyan has three sons, the eldest son died today, and the second son died when the zombies broke out.

Now Gao Zhengyan only has a 12-year-old youngest son, three grandchildren left by his eldest son and second son, as well as his old wife and two daughters-in-law.

In the courtyard, Zhang Meng was chopping firewood with his axe, while Zhao Yanxun and Gao Zhengyan were sitting under the tree in the courtyard.

Perhaps he was used to simply sending his son away, and Gao Zhengyan didn't feel too sad.

Compared with other extinct families, the situation of the Gao family is considered good, at least he still has descendants.

"My lord, why do you make General Zhang so tired? These grassroots chop firewood by themselves!"

Zhao Yanxun shook his head, and then said: "I can't just let you treat him for nothing, anyway, he has a lot of strength, so let's do what we can do for you!"

Zhao Yanxun insisted on this, so Gao Zhengyan didn't persuade him anymore.

Next, the two sitting opposite each other slowly opened up the chatterbox.

Zhao Yanxun learned about the general situation in the village, and also introduced the situation in Yuanyang to Gao Zhengyan.

By presenting the facts and reasoning, Gao Zhengyan really knew that the situation in Yuanyang had improved.

Hearing the end, Gao Zhengyan couldn't help sighing: "The good days are coming... Unfortunately, Cheng'an won't be able to see it, and many young people in the village won't be able to see it anymore!"

"Or people can see it, their relatives and descendants can see it!"

Just as Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, Gao Zhengyan suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Zhao Yanxun: "My lord is like the grace of heaven, and the grass-roots are on behalf of the old and young in the village. Thank you!"

After saying that, Gao Zhengyan kowtowed three times to Zhao Yanxun.

As the head of a local village, Gao Zhengyan often interacts with people in the government.

Even a small official at the lowest level thinks about how to exploit the people in the village. It is hard for him to believe that a big man like Zhao Yanxun would care so much about the life and death of the people.

After receiving three big gifts from Gao Zhengyan, Zhao Yanxun pulled the old man up. He knew that the other party would not give up if he didn't receive the gifts.

Next, Zhao Yanxun described his arrangements for Linshan Village, while Gao Zhengyan listened carefully.

Left and right are just institutional questions, and Zhao Yanxun answered them one by one
Gao Zhengyan naturally has no objection to being able to join the palace, nothing is more important than living safely.

After dinner, Gao Zhengyan was not idle, and sent his sons and grandsons to various houses in the village, calling men, women and children together.

In any case, Zhao Yanxun saved the whole village today, and he should be grateful both emotionally and rationally.

Every family is having a hard time, and they can't offer anything to Zhao Yanxun. In Gao Zhengyan's opinion, they should at least come and kowtow.

Zhao Yanxun actually didn't know about Gao Zhengyan's arrangement, at least he didn't know until the villagers gathered.

Sitting in the room, wiping the saber with a cloth, Gao Zhengyan's voice sounded outside: "My lord, everyone has come to kowtow to you, thank you for saving your life!"

"Major Gao, there's no need to be like this, let them all go back!" Zhao Yanxun said slowly.

Gao Zhengyan did not give up, but said more solemnly: "My lord...there is nothing in the village that we can do, so we can only kowtow to him, and please accept this gift!"

Putting down his saber, Zhao Yanxun got up from the stool and went out, it would be hypocritical for him to refuse.

Accompanied by Zhang Meng and Gao Zhengyan, Zhao Yanxun walked to the gate of the yard, where the villagers stood in a large crowd.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun come out, all the villagers knelt down, and even the children were pushed to the ground by the adults.

"If it wasn't for the lord today, our whole village would have died. The lord is our savior. Should we kowtow to the lord?"

Under Gao Zhengyan's guidance, someone below immediately shouted: "It should be..."

"kowtow!"

Ever since, adults and children all kowtowed to Zhao Yanxun, there is no repayment for saving their lives, kowtow is nothing at all.

No one kowtowed three times. Just as Zhao Yanxun was about to get everyone angry, Gao Zhengyan continued: "The prince said that in a few months, he will send troops to recover the county and wipe out the monsters. At that time, we don't have to worry about it anymore." monster!"

Hearing this, the villagers became excited, no need to worry about monster attacks, this is his dream life.

"My lord's kindness, should we be grateful to my lord?"

"Should!"

This time, a large group of people responded in unison, so that immediately after the response, some people began to kowtow to Zhao Yanxun.

Zhao Yanxun has experienced this kind of scene countless times, so he is a little numb, but the support of the people's hearts still makes him feel rewarded.

"Everyone, get up, God has the virtue of loving life, since this king upholds the destiny, how can I just sit back and watch you be killed by monsters!"

"I saved you today, I just hope that you will not let down your dead relatives, and live a good life in the future!"

What Zhao Yanxun said touched everyone very much, what a noble person who is close to the people!

After some generous speeches, Zhao Yanxun asked Gao Zhengyan to dismiss the villagers, and the village finally returned to calm.

Unlike when they came here, when they returned, the villagers had light in their eyes, full of hope.

As night fell, the mountain village seemed extraordinarily quiet, and Zhao Yanxun fell asleep after cleaning up briefly.

The next day, he didn't leave in a hurry, but led the villagers to strengthen the line of defense.

The main reason is that some ditches were dug to limit the whereabouts of zombies in a wider area, and more arable land was seized for Linshan Village.

The land is a means of production, and the people in Linshan Village cultivated more, and the pressure on the materials of the Wangfu was also relieved.

Including the two villages we met before, Zhao Yanxun also stayed for two days, opening up living space for them.

In addition to these, Zhao Yanxun also asked the guards to lead the villagers to cut trees and bamboo, and made more traps and weapons.

It can be said that the villagers have been armed to the greatest extent, and then teach them the method of drill, Zhao Yanxun can organize them into an army at any time.

Not only Linshan Village, but also the people who farm in Yuanyang Mansion all have this quality.

Their management is militarized, and they will conduct drills in their spare time. As long as Zhao Yanxun is willing, it will be no problem to pull up an army of [-] to [-].

The reason why they didn't do this is that on the one hand, the material supply capacity is insufficient, and on the other hand, it is not necessary.

Therefore, the army under the jurisdiction of the royal palace can be said to be the result of selecting the best from the best. Even the ordinary soldiers of the soldiers and horses are comparable to the elite of the Imperial Guard.

After helping Linshan Village upgrade its defense system, Zhao Yanxun left on the third day, and it was useless for Gao Zhengyan to persuade him to stay.

When he left, all the villagers came to see him off.

Before leaving, Zhao Yanxun repeatedly warned Gao Zhengyan that he must persist until the day when the royal army came.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun and his party go on horseback, all the people spontaneously knelt down to see them off, their eyes full of sadness.

After Zhao Yanxun and his party disappeared into the distance, Gao Zhengyan was the first to get up, and then said loudly: "Everyone go back, don't forget that the prince ordered... go to work!"
