In the field, Lu Mingjing was shirtless and loosening the soil with a hoe. He was already sweating profusely without sweating easily.
This is the farmland of Xiaohuling Village. Commissioner Zhang responded to General Lu's call and entered the fields to help the farmers with farm work.
Yesterday, General Lu issued a document, hoping that public servants at all levels will enter factories, mines and farmland to truly understand the sufferings of the people. He proposed that public servants at all levels dedicate 8 hours of their time every month to work with farmers and workers, and truly come to the people.
Go in the middle.
In fact, Lu Ming also knew that this kind of thing could easily become a mere formality.
The further development of the Donghai model, perfecting the system, and improving the law are the real ingredients for a healthy society. If you only rely on your own prestige and administrative orders to ask officials at all levels to do whatever you want, once you are gone, you will be restored to the old society in minutes.
.
However, as far as the Northern Territory is concerned, there is actually no soil for completely implementing the East China Sea model, so we can only take it slowly.
Requiring officials at all levels to go to the fields and factories is to break the people's mysterious understanding of "officials".
If ordinary people see a high-ranking official often and realize that he is also an ordinary person, the mystery of the "official" will naturally be diluted.
The more lofty one is, the harder it is for ordinary people to meet him, and the media is not allowed to report and supervise "officials" in real life. The more sacred "officials" are, and slowly, they will return to the dynasty era, maybe
The social model is different, but the way of thinking is actually the same.
Of course, the initiative he implemented in Montenegro was groundbreaking. It subverted too many traditions. I don’t know how many senior officials would be dissatisfied with me.
But he just did it. Taking advantage of the small area he controlled, not many officials, and his prestige at the peak, he pushed it forward. It was said to be an initiative, but in fact it was an administrative order, and officials at all levels were required to carefully review it.
An article about first-level officials’ reflections 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 the foundation of your rule now, you won't have the opportunity in the future even if you want to.
Nowadays, as long as it is promoted and carried out without encountering systemic resistance, officials will gradually become accustomed to it. They are also ordinary people and have the same adaptability as ordinary people. Once they are manipulated, they will gradually get used to it.
good.
In fact, the identity of "Commissioner Zhang" is part of the military system. There is no need to participate in the "Working with the People" movement. However, as General Lu's confidant, he must practice it and take the lead in supporting General Lu's initiative with practical actions.
Just like that, I came to Xiaohuling Village.
Of course, the selection of Xiaohuling Village as the research site for Commissioner Zhang’s “working with the people” had other motives.
Originally, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but after the day's farm work, Lu Ming felt comfortable all over his body. He didn't sweat easily, but now his whole body was covered with sweat, and he felt extremely comfortable.
"Sir, sir, that's enough, that's enough!" A farm couple next to them said in fear that they were the owners of the nearby fields.
The male head is called Zhuzi, and the female is Zhuzhu. Her real name is a bit inelegant.
Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhu's wife were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
This Chief Zhang is simply easier to use than an ox. He is so strong and powerful. How much soil was loosened this day?
Lu Ming smiled at them, stretched out his arms to relax his muscles, looked at the flaming clouds on the horizon, and said with a smile: "You usually have to work for a while, right?"
Now in September, although it is not very hot at noon in the northern region, farmers naturally feel more comfortable working in the morning and evening.
After listening to Chief Zhang's words, Mr. and Mrs. Zhuzi looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Normally, it was true that they would have to work for a while before finishing the work, but the work they usually did in five days was not as good as what Chief Zhang did in one day. It was simply
It's just a bull.
No, it can do better than that wild cow. Unfortunately, there was a bandit incident a while ago, and several cows from large households confiscated by the village office were killed. Now I really miss that wild cow. When it was alive, I would have been nicer to it.
alright.
Lu Ming picked up the hoe and said with a smile, "I'll work for a while."
On the path between the fields, two slim figures who had been at the head of the fields came over. They were none other than Pei and Zou.
Lu Ming brought them here because he wanted to attract the attention of the bandits, so he came to Xiaohuling Village himself.
It would be great if you could lure the bandit soldiers down the mountain. If you can't attract them, you still have a back-up plan.
Over there, looking at Lu Ming's sweaty naked upper body, Pei's and Zou's beautiful eyes were both strange. It turned out that this demon was not only frightening with its viciousness, but also had a terrifying physique.
"Master, please have a rest..." Mrs. Zou held a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the sweat of the family master, but her snow-white hands with red nail polish stretched the handkerchief halfway and then retracted it. After all, she did not dare to touch this demon.
head.
Mr. Pei whispered "Uncle" from the side.
Both of them were wearing cloth clothes and trousers. In fact, when they heard that they were going to work in the fields, Ms. Zou felt like crying but had no choice but to follow.
Fortunately, in the end, the devil's conscience found out and he didn't let the two of them actually go to the fields.
"Master..." A slender figure ran from the ridge of the field. It was Xiangling, the girl Lu Ming rescued from Shibaguaizi Cave.
Her parents are dead and now she lives in Zhuzi's house. Zhuzi and his wife are her cousin and cousin-in-law.
"I made some sugar water for you..." The green military kettle in Xiangling's hand came from someone unknown. The paint was a lot off and it was flat. According to the military, it was considered scrap.
Lu Ming took it and saw that the spout was polished brightly. He smiled at Xiangling and said, "Thank you!" He took a sip. It was saccharin 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 the fields, several young men in peaked caps quickly approached.
Zhuzi and his wife fearfully called these young men "boss", knowing that they were all soldiers.
Country people like to use the honorific title of "boss" when addressing soldiers. Although in the entire Wanzhou area, only Commissioner Zhang can be called "boss".
…
There were bonfires burning beside several simple tents at the entrance of the village, and a circle of villagers, men, women, old and young, were sitting around.
During this period, Xiaohuling Village was full of misery and sorrow. Only on the day of the public trial, when Liu Taisui was sentenced to death and executed on the spot, did the village burst into cheers. However, after so many people died, it was necessary to restore tranquility to the village.
He said it would take time to heal the wound.
Baochang was a middle-aged man in his forties, with the surname Li. Almost everyone in Xiaohuling Village had the surname Li. Baochang Li was from a wealthy family in the village. The old Baochang who was killed during the banditry was his father.
The villagers all sat in an orderly manner.
Commissioner Zhang who was speaking was the benefactor of the entire village, so everyone listened carefully to what he said.
However, I never expected that Commissioner Zhang suddenly mentioned that a lot of silver coins were seized from Liu Taisui during the suppression of bandits. All of these silver coins will be used to compensate the victims and all the villagers in Xiaohuling Village. Each victim will be compensated.
A pension of 50 silver dollars is issued, which is 500 imperial coins.
Everyone looked at each other and never thought about it.
Moreover, no family in the village has been wiped out by bandits, so the families of the victims can receive this compensation.
"As for the rest of the money, we helped you contact us and purchased twelve cows and some farm tools." Lu Ming spoke and glanced at Li Baochang, "However, these things are not managed by the village office, but will be sold to you.
, the price will be favorable, you can buy it together as a few households, I looked at the statistics, there are still 75 households in Xiaohuling Village, right? You just need five or six households to come together and buy it voluntarily, you can make an IOU.
No interest, just pay it back slowly.”
If these means of production are handed over to the village office and said to be collectively owned, then Li Baochang will distribute them to whoever wants to use them.
It is conceivable that those who have a good relationship with Li Baochang and are close relatives will definitely benefit. Even if it is not a blatant occupation, that kind of power and inequality will become an unfairness visible to all villagers.
.
Especially when it comes to the use rights of farmers' most important means of production, it is very likely that some shady stories will arise.
Not to mention the storage of farm tools, the feeding of cattle, etc., no one will feel bad about things that are not their own but public property.
Therefore, letting them "buy" it and make it the common property of several households and become something belonging to their own family has completely different meanings.
The villagers listened stupidly, not understanding what the chief officer meant.
Do you still have to spend money to buy it? Are you paying for it? Why does it sound like a disguised form of exorbitant taxes?
But Chief Zhang saved many people in the whole village, and he can be said to be the living Buddha of the village. Even if he wants the village to get some hard-earned money, send troops to donate, etc., he should still have a share.
So someone took the lead in cheering, and then there was applause, and the cheers continued.
Lu Ming thought to himself, they will naturally understand gradually in the future.
I've seen friends say they want a map a few times, but otherwise I'd be confused. In fact, I drew one hastily a few days ago, but I can't post pictures of the author's words or text, so I can only use chapters to describe the form. That's too boring. Use
As for Easter Egg Stamps, is my hastily drawn picture worth sending an Easter Egg Stamp? This is a question, haha... I'll study it later. Actually, I don't care about Jiangnan for now, just the four northern provinces. It's easy to understand. It's simple.
Understood as a four-square grid, the top two are Beijiang and Haixi, and the bottom two are Anshan and Longbei. Lu Ming is now in the east of Longbei, and is adjacent to Haixi Province in the north.
