At the gate of the county government, the educated youth sat together at the gate early in the morning, put up their signs, and shouted their protest slogans.

The people around were also confused by this group of educated youth. They never expected that the scene before them would appear.

"Are these educated youth idiots?"

"They... they are really capable of making trouble."

This was incredibly bold, and I didn't know how to describe it. Naive, impulsive, stupid... a whole series of comments popped up all at once. Anyone with a little understanding knew that this was a completely foolish act, a self-inflicted disaster.

"No need to pay attention to these people."

"Well, there's no need to pay attention to people who are seeking death."

If they want to die, don't stop them, otherwise they will think you are trying to cut off their escape route. Don't you see that their path is completely blocked, with no chance of getting out?

"Haha... If they protest like this, you don't even need to think about the final outcome."

"Don't pay attention to people with holes in their heads."

There's no need to pay attention to people like this; they're worthless. Anyway, let them protest; they can't cause any upheaval.

"County Magistrate, what should we do? If these young people keep acting like this, it's no use causing trouble."

"Armed suppression! I don't believe they can keep their mouths shut."

"Well...we'll suppress it with armed force!"

A group of people sat in a conference room, some expressing anger, some responding to provocations, and some expressing indifference and disdain. Yes, when one stands in a high position, one naturally feels as if one is looking down upon everyone else.

"County magistrate, tell me what we should do now. We can't tolerate these educated youth. If we don't suppress them immediately, it will be troublesome if they cause trouble."

As their reports go up the hierarchy, their dereliction of duty and inaction will be noticed by their superiors. A casual remark from a superior can end their career, and no one dares to have such a big loophole.

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Arrest the most troublesome educated youth."

The county magistrate made the final decision. He didn't want to let this group of people put pressure on him. He wanted to cut the Gordian knot and resolve this incident directly. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. He had to prepare for a response quickly.

"Then... let's get started..."

"start……"

The Minister of Armed Forces, standing nearby, was already itching to make a move. He wished he could personally take care of these troublemakers. They truly didn't know their place. They had no military power, yet they were still trying to change the system. They didn't even consider the current situation. The situation, which had only just stabilized, couldn't withstand further disruption. Otherwise, based on these people's actions, he would have given them a good shot.

Soon, all the forces were put into action. State weapons were state weapons. Everyone watched the scene in silence, not daring to speak or move.

"You...you...you are abusing your public power."

"You are breaking the law..."

"No, don't catch me... don't catch me..."

"I want to go home, I want to go back to the village."

Crying, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, confident, feigning composure, a myriad of situations unfolded. No one had expected such swift and decisive action. Normally, they were all dragging their feet, but at this crucial moment, they were incredibly decisive.

"Hehe... these educated youth are in for a rough time."

"Yeah! They're finished..."

It's just wishful thinking, without considering the right time to do something. Putting a group of people into this, it's hard to think of a solution... Most importantly, their files will clearly record these things, with evaluations and comments, which will be enough to make their future lives miserable.

The turmoil in the county town had nothing to do with Xiashan Village. Seeing the educated youth leave for the county town actually made the village quieter. Enjoying the rare peace and quiet, many people chatted under the trees while doing some light farm work.

"It looks like these educated youth are going to torture themselves to death. Should we take action?"

"Goodbye, it has nothing to do with us, there's no need to take it upon yourself."

"Yes, that's right. There's no need for us to cause trouble for ourselves. Besides, we are now waiting for the instructions from the patriarch. It's time to show our swords."

If they don't show their sword, others won't see their strength. If they don't show their sword, they will endure being bullied. This is not their style, nor is it their way of doing things.

"Tell me, what is the clan leader's plan? The timing is perfect now. I think we should be able to make it work."

They couldn't just carry the label of poverty on their backs forever; they needed to catch up. Affluent Village aside, it would be best if the entire nation knew about the Shen family's talent. The glory of Shen Wansan's ancestors couldn't be ruined by them; it was better to hurry up and strive for success.

"I think I have guessed a little bit about the clan leader's plan."

"What are you planning?"

"What is the clan leader's plan? How do you know?"

The surrounding villagers winked and looked at Shen Jianguo. This kid was quite clever, but it was unlikely that he could guess the clan leader's intentions. The clan leader was not someone they could fully understand, so how could Jianguo guess?

"Of course. You see, I can see a little bit of the trick from the clan leader's actions these past few times."

"Why can't we see it?" The person on the side didn't want to think he was not smart.

"Haha... The clan leader recently asked us to look at the coastal areas. I think we might go there to test the waters after a while. Just wait and see! The clan leader must have his sights set on that place."

He drew a small circle with his hand, indicating the area the patriarch had his eye on. It wasn't their territory yet, so they needed to carefully consider how to deal with it. They couldn't just let go of their big fish; no one was willing to do that.

"No way? That place, that place is not easy to start."

"Yeah! Now that the levels are locked, I think it'll be troublesome to get out."

"Hehe... these are not troublesome matters. Our clan leader is very capable."

The people on the side looked at the group's cowardly expressions and couldn't help but despise them. Were they not aware of the clan leader's abilities? With such vision and actions, everything below could be arranged. They didn't need to worry about anything else, just follow the clan leader's plan. That was their breakthrough.

"That's right, we just need to follow the clan leader."

They didn't need to worry about anything else, just follow the clan leader. With the clan leader leading them, they were fearless no matter what happened. The comfortable life they had lived for so many years had quelled their fighting spirit, so now was the time to work hard and fight.
