In Yong'an County, the former county government is currently located at the location of the People's Military Government. Zhou Lei yawned and approved the last document. He then sorted out the documents on the table, blew out the candlelight, and slowly walked out of the house where he worked. There was already a moonlight on the floor outside, and only a few soldiers stood guard, and the others had already gone back to rest.

Zhou Lei has been in charge of the county government for more than ten days, and he is busy from morning to night every day. It is not that Zhou Lei is not capable, but that the People's Army has just occupied Yong'an County for not long, and there are too many things that need Zhou Lei to deal with.

After a month or two, everything stabilizes and Zhou Lei will be more relaxed. However, Zhou Lei speculated that after Yong'an County stabilizes, there will definitely be more things beyond Yong'an County that need to be dealt with, and the People's Army will not stop Yong'an County and Haifeng County.

Walking towards the place where he lives, Zhou Lei recalled his life when he was in the mountains.

Before the age of fifteen, Zhou Lei was still Zhou Shitou, but he was just an ordinary mountain child. Because he was tall and strong among the group of children with peers and age difference, he seemed a little more stable, and became the leader of this group of children.

However, at the age of fifteen, everything changed because of the death of the old village leader. Zhou Lei and others learned from Teacher Fang Nan, reading and literacy, arithmetic, and also listened to Teacher Fang Nan telling various stories.

During his study, three years have passed. Under the guidance of Teacher Fang Nan, Zhou Lei has become truly mature and his knowledge has increased rapidly, which is no longer comparable to those of mountain people.

It was also during the three years of study that Zhou Lei and other classmates had a common dream, going to the outside world, defeating the landlord Laocai, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and allowing all the poor people in the world to live a good life.

As a mountain citizen, this dream is so unrealistic, but Zhou Lei and other classmates believe that under the leadership of Teacher Fang Nan, even if the road is very difficult, they will eventually be able to fulfill their dreams.

In another three years, Zhou Lei also became a teacher, teaching a group of students to read and read. When he was a teacher, Zhou Lei was also learning more knowledge through several books written by Teacher Fang Nan, and the most important thing was management knowledge.

The scope of "management" is very large. It can be managed a farm, a business, or a village. The knowledge that Zhou Lei has learned is many times more difficult than the knowledge he has learned in the past three years. However, Zhou Lei was not overwhelmed by these difficulties and studied hard. If you don’t understand, you can ask Teacher Fang Nan for advice.

During these three years, Zhou Lei also got married and had children, and officially got married. His wife Zhu Qiaomei was Zhou Lei's classmate. The two got along very well and had almost never quarreled.

After three years of teacher life, Zhou Lei had the opportunity to display what he had learned in the past three years. This year, the People's Army was officially born. This year, the People's Army expanded rapidly. Starting from assisting Teacher Fang Nan in managing thousands of people, Zhou Lei integrated the knowledge he had learned in the past three years.

Another two years have passed, and the People's Army has developed to the point where it can no longer hide in the mountains. The People's Army is about to raise the flag and embark on the road to fulfilling its goals or dreams. Everyone has been waiting for this day for too long.

In the middle, something happened to Zhou Lei that he would never forget in this life was also because of this incident. Zhou Lei had an extra wife because of this second wife, Zhu Qiaomei and Zhou Lei, had a long cold war.

The People's Army officially raised the flag, and after coming out of the mountain, the troops were divided into two groups, and they captured Yong'an County and Haifeng County in one fell swoop, and established the Yong'an County People's Military Government and the Haifeng County People's Military Government. Zhou Lei was the county magistrate of the Yong'an County People's Military Government.

From managing thousands of people in Hutouzhai, directly crossing to managing about 100,000 people in Yong'an County, the distance is quite large. Zhou Lei is also worried that he will not manage Yong'an County well and will drag down the People's Army's plan.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After a few days of adaptation, Zhou Lei was able to become a nearly mature county magistrate. He could handle the instructions very quickly and correctly for the documents submitted below.

Every day, he was busy from morning to night, and was very tired and hard. Zhou Lei persisted. Teachers, classmates, students, and other comrades in the People's Army were working hard. Zhou Lei didn't want to regress by himself. When thinking of his parents, wife, and children, Zhou Lei's body kept pouring out of his strength to support him to continue working hard.

The Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and the People's Army was very weak, but the People's Army was growing rapidly, and new people were constantly joining. Everyone had their own ideas for joining the People's Army. Zhou Lei also had them, just like most people, in order to let all their relatives live a good life, rather than continuing to live a hard life of getting up early and going to bed late every day but barely having enough food, unable to afford meat, and unable to afford new clothes.

After becoming the county magistrate, Zhou Lei really understood how luxurious the lives of the landlords were. He lived in a spacious, bright and comfortable house, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and ate fish and meat at will.

Of course, these are what Zhou Lei learned, and even Zhou Lei could enjoy a little bit, but Zhou Lei had no time to enjoy it, and now it is not the time for Zhou Lei to enjoy a good life. Once the People's Army is defeated by the enemy, all the visible good days will be lost. Only by overthrowing the Ming Dynasty can Zhou Lei enjoy the luxurious life of those landlords and wealthy families.

Seeing the granary of the landlords' large households full of grain, Zhou Lei felt that these landlords were ridiculous. Although he was already so rich, he was still exploiting the poor people, and exploiting them until these poor people fled into the mountains. Today, their descendants are back and come back to eliminate all the rich and unkind landlords.

Zhou Lei understood that greed is the greatest evil of the landlords. Under the influence of greed, they have no scruples and try their best to exploit the poor people just to gain more wealth.

The landlords and big families also knew that the people would rebel if they couldn't survive, but many landlords and big families didn't care. The Ming Dynasty government was their support. If the mud legs rebelled, they would easily be wiped out by the official army. There were many mud legs in the world. This group was wiped out, and the next group was waiting to be oppressed and exploited.

After sleeping for a night, a new day came. After a simple breakfast, Zhou Lei returned to his office and processed the documents he had just handed over.

Zhou Lei opened the document and took a brief look. He signed and approved it without realizing the problem. This is Zhou Lei’s main task.

The Yong'an County People's Military Government divides the components, taxation, civil affairs, agriculture, criminal affairs and other departments. All matters are handed over to each department for handling first, and small matters are solved directly. The major matters are submitted to Zhou Lei, the county magistrate, after writing the implementation plan, and the implementation can be implemented after Zhou Lei's instructions.
