my wife is a consul

Chapter 412 Returning to Xiaohuling

In the field, Lu Mingjing was bare-chested and using a hoe to loosen the soil. He was already sweating profusely because he didn't sweat easily.

This is the farmland of Xiaohuling Village. Commissioner Zhang responded to General Lu's call and went into the field to help the farmers with farm work.

General Lu issued a document yesterday, hoping that civil servants at all levels should enter factories, mines and farmland to truly understand the sufferings of the people, and advocated that civil servants at all levels should set aside 8 hours a month to work with farmers and workers, and truly reach out to the common people. go in the middle.

In fact, Lu Ming also knows that this kind of thing is easy to become a mere formality.

The further development of the East China Sea model, perfecting the system and perfecting the law are the real medicines for a healthy society. Only relying on one's own prestige and administrative orders to ask officials at all levels to do so, once he is gone, the old society will be restored in minutes .

However, as far as the North Territory is concerned, there is really no soil for the thorough implementation of the East China Sea model, so we can only take it slowly.

To require officials at all levels to go to the fields and enter the factory is to break the people's mysterious understanding of "officials".

If a high-ranking official is often seen by ordinary people, and they can realize that he is also an ordinary person, it will naturally weaken the sense of mystery of the "official".

The higher the status, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to meet each other, and the media is even more forbidden to report and supervise "officials" in real life. The more sacred "officials" are, slowly, they will return to the dynasty era. The social model is different, but the way of thinking will not be any different.

Of course, the move I implemented in Montenegro was earth-shattering. It subverted too many traditions, and I don't know how many senior officials would be dissatisfied with me.

But I just did it like this. Taking advantage of the small area I control, not many officials, and my prestige is in full swing, I will forcefully promote it. It is said to be an initiative, but it is actually an administrative order, and officials at all levels are required to carefully review it. A first-level official's article on the experience of "working with the people".

If you don't make up your mind to carry out these dangerous actions that may threaten your ruling foundation, even if you think about it in the future, you will never have this opportunity.

But now, as long as it is promoted and carried out, and there is no systematic resistance, gradually, officials will get used to it. They are also ordinary people, and they also have the adaptability of ordinary people. it is good.

In fact, the identity of "Commissioner Zhang" was established by the military system, and he didn't have to participate in the "Working with the People" movement. However, as General Lu's confidant and beloved general, he had to take the lead in supporting General Lu's initiative with practical actions.

In this way, I came to Xiaohuling Village by myself.

Of course, choosing Xiaohuling Village as the research site for Commissioner Zhang to "work with the people" has other intentions.

Originally, drunkards didn't want to drink alcohol, but after this day's farm work, Lu Ming felt comfortable all over his body. He who didn't sweat easily, now was soaked in sweat all over his body, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Sir, sir, that's enough, that's enough!" A farmer couple next to them were terrified, and they were the owners of the nearby field.

The man in charge is called Zhuzi, and the woman belongs to Zhuzi's family. Her real name is somewhat indecent.

Zhu Zi and Zhu Zi's daughter-in-law were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

This officer Zhang is simply better than a cow, so strong and powerful, how much soil has been loosened this day?
Lu Ming smiled at them, stretched out his arms to loosen his muscles and bones, looked at the Huoshaoyun in the sky, and said with a smile: "Usually, you have to work a little longer?"

In September today, although the noon in the northern region is not very hot, the farmers are naturally comfortable working in the morning and evening.

Zhuzi and his wife listened to what Officer Zhang said, looked at each other, and didn't know how to answer. It was true that they would have to work for a while before they called it a day, but the work they usually did in five days was not as good as what this Officer Zhang did in one day. It's a bull.

No, it can do better than that bull. Unfortunately, some time ago, the bandits confiscated several cows belonging to the big family and were killed. Now I really miss that bull. All right.

Lu Ming picked up the hoe and said with a smile, "I'll do it for a while."

On the field ridge path, two slim figures who were originally at the head of the field came over, they were Pei Shi and Zou Shi.

Lu Ming brought them here because he wanted to attract the bandits' attention, so he came to Xiaohuling Village by himself.

It would be great if he could lure bandit soldiers down the mountain, but if he couldn't attract them, he still had a backup.

Over there, looking at Lu Ming's sweaty naked upper body, Pei Shi and Zou's beautiful eyes were very strange. It turns out that this demon is not only scary with viciousness, but also has a terrifying physique.

"Master, please take a rest..." Mrs. Zou took a handkerchief and wanted to wipe off the sweat of the owner, but the snow-white slender hands covered with bright red nail polish stretched the handkerchief halfway and then retracted it. After all, she dared not touch the demon. head.

Pei Shi whispered "Uncle" beside him.

Both of them were wearing common clothes and trousers. In fact, they heard that they were going to work in the fields. Zou wanted to cry, but she had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, in the end, the devil found out with his conscience that they didn't really let them go to the fields.

"Master..." A slender figure ran from the ridge of the fields, it was the girl Xiang Ling rescued by Lu Ming from Shibaguaizi Cave.

Her parents are both dead, and now she lives in Zhuzi's house. Zhuzi and his wife are her cousin and cousin-in-law.

"I made sugar water for you..." The green military kettle in Xiangling's hand came from nowhere, the paint was peeled off, and it was also flat. According to the military, it was a scrap product.

Lu Ming took it, and could see that the spout of the pot was polished brightly. He smiled at Xiangling, "Thank you!" He picked it up and took a sip. It was saccharine water, but Lu Ming still drank several gulps. .

Xiangling showed a happy smile.

"Let's go, stop working and go back to the village!" Lu Ming smiled.

Looking around in the fields, several boys in peaked caps quickly approached.

Zhuzi and his wife called these young men "bosses" in awe, knowing that they were all soldiers.

The country people like to call Dabing the honorific "Boss" the most. Although the entire Wanzhou territory, only Commissioner Zhang can be called "Boss".

……

Beside a few simple tents at the entrance of the village, a bonfire was burning, and a circle of villagers sat around, including men, women and children.

During this period of time, Xiaohuling Village was full of misery and sorrow. Only on the day of the public trial meeting, when Liu Taisui was sentenced to death and executed on the spot, did cheers resound everywhere in the village. Said, still need time to heal the wound.

The Baochang is a middle-aged man in his 40s, whose surname is Li. Almost everyone in Xiaohuling Village has the surname Li.

The villagers all sat neatly.

Commissioner Zhang who was speaking was the benefactor of the whole village, so everyone listened carefully to what he said.

But it never occurred to me that Commissioner Zhang suddenly mentioned that a lot of silver dollars were seized from Liu Taisui during the suppression of the bandits, and all these silver dollars would be used to compensate the victims and all the villagers in Xiaohuling Village. A pension of 50 silver dollars is issued, which is 500 imperial coins.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, never thinking about it.

Moreover, no household in the village has been wiped out by bandits, so the family members of the victims can get the compensation.

"As for the rest of the money, we helped to contact and bought twelve cows and some farm tools." Lu Ming looked at Li Baochang as he spoke, "However, these things are not managed by the village government, but will be sold to you , the price will be discounted, and you can buy it with several households. I read the statistics, and there are still 75 households in Xiaohuling Village, right? You can buy with a voluntary combination of five or six households. , Pay it back slowly."

If these means of production are handed over to the village office, it is said that they are collectively owned, so whoever wants to use them will be allocated by Li Baochang.

It is conceivable that those who have a good relationship with Li Baochang and those who are close to relatives will definitely gain favor. Even if it is not a blatant occupation, that kind of power and inequality will become unfair to all villagers. .

Especially when it comes to the right to use the most important means of production for farmers, there is a high possibility that some shady scenes will arise.

Not to mention the storage of farm tools, feeding of cattle, etc., no one will feel bad about things that are not owned by one's own family or owned by the public.

Therefore, letting them "buy" and become the common property of several households and the property of their own family has completely different meanings.

The villagers all listened foolishly, completely ignorant of what the Chief Officer meant.

Still need to spend money to buy?IOUs?Why does it sound like exorbitant taxes in disguise?
But Chief Zhang has saved many people in the village, so he can be said to be a living Bodhisattva in the village. Even if he wants the village to pay for his hard work, donate troops, and so on, he should have a share.

So someone took the lead in applauding, and then there was applause, and the applause continued.

Lu Ming smiled in his heart, they will gradually understand in the future.

　I saw a few times a friend said that he wanted a map, otherwise he would be dazed. In fact, I drew a sketch a few days ago, but the author's words and text can't be posted. Pictures can only be written in chapters. That's too boring. Use As for the easter egg chapter,,, is my sloppy picture worth sending out an easter egg chapter?This is a problem, haha... Let me study it later. In fact, I don’t care about the south of the Yangtze River. It’s easy to understand the four provinces of the northern region. It’s simply understood as a four-square grid. , Anshan, Longbei.Lu Ming is now in the east of Longbei, adjacent to Haixi Province in the north.
