Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 256
After parting with Jun for a while, Rong Shui went to Rongjia Village in person, thinking that tomorrow would be five days. Although he had never personally supervised the work, the people in his hands kept reassuring him that the progress was good.

It wasn't until he came to the wasteland and saw the current scene that Rong Shui couldn't help expressing emotion in his heart. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. The astonishing ability of these big northern men is really amazing.

Originally, I didn't have much hope for the report, thinking that even if it didn't work for five days, I made up my mind to subsidize the money at the post station. In short, I can't drive everyone out.

Looking at it now, I can only sigh that people's potential is indeed infinite... It's not that as long as you push hard, why not finish it on time.

The invited master craftsman walked in front to lead the way, and introduced Rong Shui by the way.

Pointing to a piece of low-rise bungalows that are still under construction, he said: "I saw that there is no Rong Dong's house, just that one. The repair is really good! This group of tall and strong northern men are doing this job of adding bricks and tiles. , the hands and feet are also nimble, and the strength is boundless, many people can carry two or three bags of stone bricks at a time!"

After hearing what the craftsmen said, Rong Shui went to see these workers again. They were not afraid of the cold in the winter, and several of them were bare-armed, so they carried bags of tiles and bricks and shuttled across the wasteland. They all performed their duties and were so busy that they didn't even notice that their benefactor, Rong Shui, had come. It was all because they were too devoted to serious work.

The craftsman was about to inform everyone, and came to greet Rongshui to report the progress of the situation, but Rongshui stopped him directly, saying: "They are so busy, so don't bother them, you lead me, just look around. After a while, I have to go."

He nodded, and had no choice but to follow suit, leading Rongshui further inside, allowing Rongshui to see the layout of the house further.

The piece of wasteland that Rongshui bought, although it is said to have a large area, is just slightly uneven. Not all the land is suitable for building houses, but it cost a lot of money to buy it. It is also impossible to take all the water and let the refugees live in order to do good deeds.

She planned a piece of land within an acceptable range, and handed it over to a garden architect to help with the design and planning, and finally decided on the area where the refugees are temporarily accommodated. Generally speaking, she felt that it was not too big or too small. Incomparable.

The craftsman greeted a few workers who were laying tiles on the roof, and led Rongshui inside, pointing to each place and introducing them carefully.

"Dadong, look over there is a kang made of mud. It is said that northerners like to sleep on it. When winter comes, some charcoal fires are burned underneath. It is very warm for people to sleep on it."

He knows that this thing holds water without saying anything. You must know this invention... not only the northerners love to use it now, but even people in the thousand years later have not lost this habit. This invention has lasted for such a long period of history. It can be seen that It is of great practical value.

Rong Shui squatted down to look, and saw a row of big kangs with a hole under every few beds, all the way to the door.

She took a look at the layout with satisfaction, it was rather ingenious, as soon as she entered the door, there were two rows of Datong shops side by side... Although it seemed that there was no privacy, but thinking about the refugees who were satisfied with food and clothing Probably not a big deal.

In this way, following the craftsman down three or four bungalows, Rong Shui understood the general layout, and thought that even the interior layout and some simple furniture had been added... Then... Let the refugees leave from the post station tomorrow It doesn't seem impossible to move here, does it? !
Some excited emotions emerged in my heart... As long as the refugees are moved here, it is good to arrange things for them, and let everyone start to build the villa that already existed in her plan... The tense situation in Jiangcheng should also be completely improved.

Not bad... Now, maybe it's time to wait for Zhang Mingming to come back from the neighboring county and bring her good news.

Afterwards, I went back to the city alone, but as soon as I got home, I was invited by Huang Zhi in a sedan chair. Before she could react to what was urgent, I thought repeatedly on the way, could it be that something big happened to Mrs. Liu? Is it getting worse? !
Fortunately, when he arrived at the mansion, he didn't see Huang Zhi's flustered expression. He still sat there firmly. Although his face was full of troubles, at least he was not serious. After passing himself, he hurriedly summoned her to meet him in the evening.

Huang Zhi didn't hold back, and said directly: "Rongshui... now it seems that your plan... is not so easy to carry out."

Rong Shui didn't understand, so he asked: "Master Huang, what does this mean?! Do you want to drive the refugees out of the station in advance?!...Why is this?!"

Huang Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not about driving out of the station... I'm afraid that if the situation still doesn't improve, I can only send troops to capture all the refugees and drive them out of Jiangcheng one by one to calm the anger of the people!"

Rong Shui was stunned for a moment, what does it mean that the situation does not improve?Hasn't Jiangcheng gradually regained its former prosperity recently?In the morning, I heard Mrs. Li say that many street vendors have come out to set up stalls, and the business of Rong's fried chicken shop has also picked up... Doesn't all this mean that the current situation has improved?
Huang Zhi saw the confusion in Rong Shui's eyes, so he explained to her: "Rong girl... you have been busy with many things these days, maybe you didn't go out to listen to the complaints of the people?!... You still wanted to So, use my name to solve the refugee problem, that's right! In front of the refugees, I have gained a reputation as an official, and everyone is grateful... But, do you know that in front of the people of Jiangcheng, they hate me! They Everyone is saying that this official raises tigers to cause trouble!"

"Tigers are a threat!"... As soon as these words came out, Rong Shui seemed to be able to think of something... The people of Jiangcheng... don't want the refugees to stay in Jiangcheng at all?It was because she was wrong at the beginning, because she was being passionate, right? !She thought that as long as the refugees could live in peace and gain a foothold, they could live in harmony with the people of Jiangcheng, and both parties would love it.

She confirmed to Huang Zhi: "Master Huang...what you mean...is to drive all the refugees out of the city to solve the problem, right?"

Huang Zhi nodded, and Rong girl would understand if she was smarter, I hope she would know what to do next without him saying any more.

Rongshui really knew what Huang Zhi wanted to do with it, and he didn't want to go back on his word and break the agreement with him, and he didn't want to encounter bad rumors from the people... So it's best to ask him to send troops to the post station to drive out the refugees? !

Rong Shui thinks that he can't do it, and it's impossible to do it... But what's the point of arguing with Huang Zhi like this?Both parties were unhappy.

Huang Zhi pretended to be considerate and said: "Rong girl, I don't want to break the agreement with you! But... Today, several groups of people have already made a scene at the gate of the county government office. The slogan of the demonstration is to drive the refugees out of Jiangcheng."

Hearing this, Rong Shui refuted Huang Zhi's words, and said, "Why can't Rong Shui understand Mr. Huang's difficulties? It's to blame... only blame... it's just that we didn't expect that everyone's resentment towards refugees is so deep... …To put it bluntly, these little tricks of sneaking may not be very eye-catching. Everyone just cursed and didn’t hold any grudges in their hearts. It really made everyone feel lingering fears and dared not approach these people again...Rong Shui can’t think more than that, the refugees are in public A murder case with a knife?!"

After speaking, Rongshui ignored Huang Zhi's reaction, and continued to say what he wanted to say quickly, without feeling that he had hit Huang Zhi's sore spot, and said: "This refugee not only kills people in the street, but also stabs us later. There were several officers and soldiers in the police station, and everyone was terrified, but Mr. Huang hadn't been able to catch anyone or solve the case until this time... at this time, everyone was always worried about these dangerous refugees and the one who killed people with a knife people continue to do evil in the city!"

Having said so much in one breath, and every sentence is based on Huang Zhi's pain points, Rong Shui's accusations are not at all polite and cryptic.

He complained that he was unable to solve the case for a long time, that the officers and soldiers of the city guards were not well trained, that they could protect the people, and that they could not eliminate the fear of the people.

At first Huang Zhi was so angry that Rong Shui was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but as she analyzed more and more carefully, she laughed instead, what a bold Rong Shui!What a brave and outspoken Rong Shui!What a Rongshui who is not afraid of offending his parents and officials!
This girl... is simply a girl who has gathered all the invincible girls in the world!However, this courage...is burning with his long-disappeared passionate vision.

The mediocre years of being an official, the tangled relationship between the government and the people, and the melancholy of the unfulfilled ambition...Suddenly he was woken up by Rong Shui's scolding, as if he had fallen asleep...

He waited for Rong Shui to finish speaking, then smiled with a relaxed heart, and said, "Okay, Rong Shui! You are right! I understand what you mean! The reason why the people expected me to drive the refugees out of Jiangcheng, but It's not because I'm really afraid of all the refugees, but because I'm afraid of the murderer who killed in the street that day and has never been brought to justice!"

Then sorrow stained the graying temples, and sighed: "It's my fault, I didn't catch it well... From today, I will... arrest this murderer within ten years, and everyone will be the most frightened and uneasy when they see it." If the murderer is brought to justice...then, I think they don't care where the refugees exist...as long as it doesn't affect their lives."

Huang Zhi finally came to his senses, and Rong Shui still felt a little comfort in his heart... In fact, the people who hope to see Huang Zhi make a difference... In addition to himself and his family, there are also people like them who will live in Jiangcheng for the rest of their lives. .

If a local parental official cannot actively do things for the people and solve the problem decisively from the root cause, it may save trouble simply to drive out all the refugees, but they will not get the respect they deserve.

It is correct for him to understand this point... Besides, these homeless refugees are not the people of Dayan... Everyone's xenophobia should not be directed at them.
