At the beginning of September, the entire Luang County was in a state of hustle and bustle, with people rushing to collect goods and reinforcing houses.
In order to cope with this hurricane, the county government is very busy from top to bottom, and the elders and district chiefs at the grassroots level are even more busy.
This is the above sentence, and the following sentence will break your legs.
Xiao Chong predicted that there would be a hurricane, and then in order to minimize the damage, he issued one order after another.
People from low-lying areas have been evacuated; people with dilapidated houses and slums have been evacuated; wanderers and beggars have been evacuated; all temples and temples in Luang County have been opened; illegal structures that may be blown by the wind have been demolished; all ships in Hong Kong have been properly arranged to arrive
Various safe havens have issued various orders such as no longer being allowed to go to sea in recent days.
Not to mention the people who work in the county government, even the people who are being tortured below are also complaining.
A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. Why should you pull me away from my doghouse? I won’t leave!
Won’t leave? It’s not up to you!
The bad guys came out in large numbers, and the government officials were not idle either. They were unreasonable and vicious. They drove people with sticks and whips like sheep. The temples and Taoist temples in Luan County were suddenly filled with people.
These people from outside the country were so angry when facing the poor people brought by the county government to take shelter from the wind. If the county government hadn't given out rice and noodles while abandoning the people, they would have fled into the world of society and made trouble.
I went to the county government office.
The beggars and wanderers suffered the saddest fate, because they were dragged directly to the construction site on the other side of the weir!
Isn’t this a form of forced labor?
Suddenly, the atmosphere of each small town changed. People begging with a tattered bowl and tattered clothes suddenly disappeared in the streets and alleys. Those who could find a place found a place to hide by themselves, but they couldn't find a place.
She cried for father and mother and was taken away by the government.
Those idlers who had been wandering around all day suddenly stopped, and the county magistrate went crazy. It is better for everyone to be more honest and avoid the limelight, otherwise it would be tragic if they were dragged into hard labor for no reason.
At first, the rural gentlemen in Luan County thought that this matter had nothing to do with them and they could just watch the excitement. If Xiao Chong had been more outrageous and acted counterintuitively, provoking a civil uprising, then they could smash the giant Buddha that towered over everyone's heads.
As a result, things developed beyond everyone's expectations, and the excitement was about to happen to me!
The county government issued a notice stating that all rural gentry need to vacate a few houses to help their neighbors who live in thatched houses and dilapidated houses around their homes. If there are local people who died due to the hurricane, only the gentry, elders and village chiefs will be asked.
At this moment, Xiao Chong finally understood how to assign responsibilities to each household and sit together!
Everyone thought this was extremely ridiculous and wanted to ignore the county government's ridiculous instructions.
But immediately, Xiao Chong first attacked the Zhang family and the Shi family who had spent money to take over the white feather chicken stall. After inviting the heads of both parties to the county government for a confidential discussion, the two families rebelled and compromised.
But it is impossible to accommodate the poor around them. How can such dirty and vulgar people enter their house? This is not a disgrace to their family!
Since they were unwilling to contribute, they had no choice but to contribute money, so in the end each family contributed six carts of corn!
In order to commend the two families for their high righteousness, the county government personally ordered the county magistrate Xiao Chong to erect a plaque next to the gatehouse of Xiaoxi Town with the donation details of the Zhang family and the Shi family engraved on it.
Nobles and gentry would set up porridge shops every winter to show off their reputation. It was just a matter of how thin the porridge was.
Now that the official has set up a plaque to help them paint it, there is no reason not to participate.
With the Zhang and Wang families taking the lead, the remaining squires knew what to do. Without waiting for the evil-hearted Zhuzi to come to their door (because that would be even worse), they generously donated three to six cars to the county government.
Waiting for food.
The Yu family, who had a little feud with Xiao Chong, took the wrong medicine and even announced that they would tighten their belts and fully support the county government, so they generously dragged ten carts of corn over and climbed to the top of the plaque.
Although the shadow of the hurricane is not yet there, the county magistrate said that it will be there.
In ancient times, Zhao Gao referred to deer as horses, but now Xiao Chong refers to the sky to eliminate disasters and rob the people of their wealth!
Carloads of corn are delivered in full view of the public
Enter the county government office.
Everyone thought that if you entered the county government office, you would belong to the county magistrate, even Zhang and Shi's family thought so.
At the same time, letters one after another reporting bribery were in the hands of various families from the first day when the corn was shipped to the county government. When Xiao Chong went crazy, all official roads in Luang County to other places were lifted.
After the blockade, send it out!
This year's performance appraisal made him miserable!
Everyone has their own secrets, the person receiving the gift is very happy, the person giving the gift is also very happy, everyone is happy.
Lin Wanwan said that she just wanted to see the excitement.
Since I am a fifth-grade township monarch, I don't have to pay for the county government's account.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan is determined not to send food to Xiao Chong. If she doesn't care about being on the plaque, how can a modern person be kidnapped by ancient people using such trivial tricks?!
Isn’t it just to become famous? Nowadays, her legend spreads all over the country!
When sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and other crops spread throughout Quanwanghai Town, Quanluan County, Quanyue Prefecture and even the entire Tang Dynasty, she will be famous all over the world, and it will be no better than being engraved on the plaque on the gate of Xiaoxi Town.
Although Lin Wanwan could not care about the county government's orders, she had to help Patriarch Lin take care of his worries.
So the workshop that had just been built in Linjiazhuang became a refuge for fellow villagers living in dilapidated houses in the surrounding area.
In the Tang Dynasty, one hundred households constituted one li, and five li constituted one township.
Patriarch Lin has a good relationship with other Li Zheng from the same township. Two of them are still his former comrades in arms, and Elder He is their immediate boss. It is normal for everyone to stick together to warm up and tide over the difficulties.
Everyone brought two days' rations and dragged their families and land to Linjiazhuang, where they built floors in the workshop.
Now the entire Luang County is well prepared for the hurricane. It would be inappropriate if it doesn't come.
To be honest, Xiao Chong's tactics are very similar to those used by later generations to fight against typhoons. It's just that in later generations, everyone is a "public servant" and will kindly persuade people living in dilapidated houses to move instead of violently resorting to violence.
Lin Wanwan has now somewhat understood Xiao Chong's thinking. He doesn't like to explain anything to the people below him.
Basically, he treats all the people under his rule as ignorant people, and he just listens to him, whether it is good or bad.
The decision he and his staff and subordinates make is the best decision. It is the choice of smart people. Foolish people can just follow it.
Lin Wanwan still admired Xiao Chong's courage. Even if the Meteorological Bureau a thousand years later, it would be impossible to predict whether a typhoon would land in a certain place seven days in advance.
Regarding typhoons, the forecast error 24 hours in advance is 110 kilometers, and the forecast error 48 hours in advance is about 160 kilometers. Six or seven days in advance? Haha, maybe the error is a province.
Why did Xiao Chong dare to move the people in such a drastic way? Although it was to nip it in the bud, it was definitely better to be prepared than not. But if all the work was in vain, wouldn't it damage his reputation for dexterity?
