Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1690 The Art of Dispute Resolution

"Village head, you have to make the decision for me! That damn Er Ye has ripped off my hero's knot!"

"Village head, not only will I pull out his hero's knot, I will also tear down his wall! He is a damned bastard, I am drawing water from above and he is peeing below!"

"I'm peeing down there, but it doesn't affect you from pumping water up there. Water flows downwards. You bastard, you're too overbearing!"

"Both of you shut up!" Tuliangzhi roared, and the authority of the former instructor suddenly rose: "How can we hear you clearly when you are arguing so loudly? Speak one by one!"

The matter was not complicated. Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong lay on the second floor, leaning against the beauty's back, and watched the excitement in the dam.

The Yi people prefer black. Men like to wear wide-leg pants and tight shirts, while women like to wear flowery pleated skirts. It is generally believed among the people that this is because men imitate eagles and women imitate peacocks.

Both women and men shave their heads, but there is a small patch of hair on the forehead that has been there since the fetus. The Yi people call this part "Heavenly Bodhisattva" and ordinary people are not allowed to touch it.

After many years, Yi men will braid the "Heavenly Bodhisattva" into one or two small braids, wrap the small braids with blue or green cloth, and tie them into a long and thin cone shape in the right front, pointing to the sky. This is called the "Hero Knot".

The hero knot of young people is longer, while that of old people is shorter. It is a symbol of the bravery of Yi men. In the old days, if someone broke someone else's hero knot, it would be a big deal. Knife fights would often occur, and it would eventually develop into a family feud.

However, in today's day and age, it is not that exaggerated, but it is not so easy to get justice.

  After the matter was made clear, Tu Liangzhi started to curse. He first cursed Tu Ziri for peeing and shitting in the ditch. He had repeatedly warned people not to do that anymore. Even cattle and sheep had to be restrained, let alone humans?

In the past, the ditch could be said to be a wastewater ditch. Apart from being dirty, there was not much other impact. But now it is different. Not only do cattle and sheep drink water from it, but people also often use it to wash clothes and vegetables as drinking water. If we continue to do this, we will be hated.

But Erye was not right either. He started beating people, broke their hero knots, and even tore at their walls. This was a bit unreasonable.

Besides, is it your turn to rip off his hero's knot? Your home is upstream of his home, and our grain station is guarding the entrance of the village, which is at the very downstream. Shouldn't I be the one to rip off his hero's knot?

Tsuchihi's face turned pale when he heard this. If Tsuchihara wanted to deal with him, he really wouldn't dare to fight back.

In fact, Tsuchihara was the real loser in this matter. Those who suffered losses dared not make a fuss anymore. Erye, who was unreasonable, had made a fuss before just to create an aura of not losing, but now that his intention was exposed by Tsuchihara, he stopped making a fuss too.

Tuliangzhi then talked about the sanitation problem that had been a headache for the villagers. There had been no clear regulations before, and only Tuziri was caught in this matter. Others who were not caught were also caught. Tuliangzhi was not unaware of the situation in the village.

As the saying goes, the law does not hold everyone responsible, so let's forgive Tuziri this time.

  Send the two men to help in the back hill, where they are leveling the land and preparing to build an orchard. Elbow is offering a wage of ten yuan a day, with a meal provided. If they have the strength to fight, wouldn't it be good for them to earn this salary?

The old man was in charge, and if you felt that I was unfair, you could go and ask him for justice. He and Tuziri waved their hands, saying that Tuliangzhi was fair, and that no one could go against the work points. Now was the lean season, and ten yuan alone was enough to feed them for several days.

After justice was done, Tu Liangzhi continued to curse through the loud speaker that had just been set up in the village. This time he did not name anyone, but severely criticized the behavior of urinating in the ditch. He asked each family to control their children, cattle and sheep, and not to let such a thing happen again in the village.

This is the cleverness of the rhetoric. In fact, this matter would spread throughout the village in minutes, but no one was named, and the children, cattle and sheep were used as examples. In fact, it was just a severe criticism behind closed doors, but in public areas, enough face was left for Tuzi Ri.

In fact, the children are the ones who are purely to blame. In the whole village, it is the children who have the best hygiene habits. Under the education and supervision of Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong, their hygiene awareness is the best, and they can even help supervise the adults.

After observing Tu Liangzhi's "leadership art", Zhou Zhi couldn't help but admire him. Resolving disputes in the village is also a science, and the role of cadres is completely decisive.

"The situation in the village cannot be changed for the time being." However, Zhou Zhi turned around and whispered to Wu Renzhong, "To solve this problem, every household must have a septic tank, and the septic tank must generally be equipped with a pigpen. To raise pigs, you need to have surplus grain and pig grass. To treat the manure, it must be used as farmyard fertilizer to irrigate the land. This means that every household must also have a considerable area of ​​vegetable garden or grain land. It is a very complicated system project."

Wu Renzhong had some ideas at first, but after hearing what Zhou Zhi said, he shook his head repeatedly: "It's a bit overwhelming. It seems that there is no way to break the deadlock?"

"Not that there isn't one." Zhou Zhi tapped his chin and thought, "Once the orchard and grass are planted, we can collect the manure."

"What?" Wu Renzhong was stunned. "It's fine if you pay for the bracken and eggs, but you also pay for the manure and urine? Where are you going to put it after you collect it?"

"You think this is new?" Zhou Zhi thought Wu Renzhong was just making a fuss. "We have always done this in our hometown. Every day, the villagers carry dung buckets along the streets to collect feces and urine, and then carry them back to use as farm fertilizer. This is a fine tradition of our Chinese agricultural civilization for thousands of years. Why did large-scale plagues occur much less frequently in ancient China than in the West? It is because this thing solves the urban sewage problem in disguise."

"Is this true?" Wu Renzhong still couldn't believe it.

"Of course it is true. In Xunzi: National Wealth, it is written: "Covering the surface of the land, planting grass and grain, and fertilizing the fields are the duties of farmers and common people. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Book of Si Sheng also mentioned the 'district planting method': 'When Tang was hit by drought, Yi Yin divided the fields and taught the people to plant with manure and carry water to irrigate the crops. Dividing the fields is good for the smell of manure, not necessarily good fields...' The 'district' here is actually a homophone of 'fermentation', which is a method of applying manure after adding base fertilizer and then planting on it."

"You've read a lot of books, I can't argue with you," Wu Renzhong shook his head like a rattle, "but let's make this clear first, other things are easy to handle, but if you want me to accompany you to collect manure, that's absolutely not possible!"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing: "The actual situation in our hometown is different from here. Who says we have to do it ourselves?"

"I'm going to teach the kids." Wu Renzhong stood up and ran away: "Anyway, you don't need to discuss this with me. I will pretend that I didn't hear it and I won't get involved."

Zhou Zhi felt something was different when the stream came into the village. He wondered if this was the so-called feng shui change, which began to bring some positive changes to Lianhe Township.
