Lin Taohua happily stepped forward, took out the chaff hidden in the stone hole, and fed breakfast to the great hero of their family - yes, you read that right, the great hero.
Needless to say, the white-feathered chicken eats locusts and grows quickly, so it can be exchanged for money.
The other two Kangbei ducks were originally raised by Lin Wanwanfa for her children and were used as labor tasks.
Now that they have been raised, they have become a great contributor to the family. The two ducks lay eggs almost every day. Even her mother and grandfather said it was magical. Every duck egg is a treasure!
Most of the duck eggs are saved to be exchanged for food and vegetables. On rare occasions, my mother will make a bowl of egg soup for the family to drink to supplement some nutrition.
Lin Mengjin felt quite relieved to see Lin Taohua doing things well.
On weekdays, he would either go fishing early in the morning with others, or he would sleep at home to recuperate his energy. It was rare to see his children getting up early to work.
When I saw her today, I felt heartbroken but also a little proud!
Look at the peach blossoms in their family, she is such a hard-working and down-to-earth lady. When she grows up, maybe the doorstep of their family will be broken down by matchmakers who come to talk to them!
When he thought of this, Lin Mengjin felt very proud, with a flying smile on his face, and went back to prepare to repair the roof with great enthusiasm.
Now that the power of the hurricane is gone, the rain is just drizzle. He has to repair the roof quickly so that he can sleep well tonight.
There are many people as busy as him in Linjiazhuang. This hurricane is so powerful that ordinary roofs cannot withstand it.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the rain has gradually stopped, leaving only a moderate wind.
Many Linjiazhuang people walked to the beach to watch the waves, mentally judging whether the hurricane had completely passed.
If you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea.
The people in Linjiazhuang are most concerned about when the hurricane will recede and when the waves will subside. They are waiting for the calm to go fishing.
The sea after a hurricane usually washes over many fish that are not usually seen here, and then they can be sold at a good price.
In addition to people from Linjiazhuang, Lujiazhuang, Dafengzhuang and several other poor families who took shelter from the hurricane in their village Daokou workshops also dragged their families to the seaside and looked at the sea.
Although I had been sheltering from the hurricane for the past two days in a newly built and very strong brick house, and had not suffered any hardships, I could not help but worry about my family.
Even if the family is surrounded by walls, it is still a shelter, and no matter how nice this place is, it is not my home.
Seeing the turbid waves on the sea flowing back in waves, everyone couldn't wait to go back and see how their homes were doing.
The biggest person in charge here is naturally Patriarch Lin. Faced with the poor family members clamoring to leave, Patriarch Lin glanced at the sky and waves and did not do anything to stop them.
This group of poor farmers, who were judged by their clan chiefs and village chiefs to live in dilapidated houses, got the approval of Patriarch Lin and dragged their families back to their villages.
For the safety of the clan, Lin Mengbo and several other strong men came to the workshop to maintain order.
Lin Wanwan stood on the balcony of her small building, looking at the people winding away at the village road crossing, and sighed.
The news waiting for them may not be good. This violent storm may have already destroyed their home.
However, this group of people will probably not come back after they leave. Even if their home collapses, it doesn't matter if there is no storm on this hot day.
I don’t know how Xiao Chong will carry out the post-disaster reconstruction work. There should be many people in Luan County who suffered this time.
The facts were indeed as Lin Wanwan expected. Once the power of the hurricane dissipated, the chiefs and elders of various towns and villages hurriedly reported the situation to the county government and eagerly awaited the notification from above.
Many of those whose fields had suffered were pointing to the imperial court as a tax exemption!
As Zhang Shaofu, who is responsible for collecting rent and taxes in the county, he has a huge headache now.
After the autumn harvest, it was supposed to be a good day for tax collection, but this hurricane has yet to wipe away many people's wealth.
The amount of tax revenue is related to his political performance, so teach him how not to worry.
He was a little envious of his colleague Du Shaofu, who was also a county lieutenant. He only focused on catching thieves and public security work, so he had much less worries than him!
Little did he know that Du Shaofu was also envious of Zhang Shaofu. He still had a major case that he had not solved this year - that was the elusive kidnapping gang that roamed every town.
Because of this incident, he was under great pressure. He had to deal with daily inquiries from his immediate boss, Xiao Chong, and face harassment from a noble family who had lost his child.
In the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate and the staff under him, including the county lieutenant, chief clerk, etc., all worked on a 007 work system. What a blessing! As long as you can't die at work, you will work to death.
There is no way, there is a serious shortage of people at the grassroots level!
In such a large Luang County, there is only one county magistrate, one chief registrar, and two county lieutenants as official officials. And the county lieutenants are responsible for a lot of things, but they don’t have many people who can be dispatched. Without them, the court will be poor.
, cannot afford redundant civil servants!
The county government officials all work harder if they are able, and if they are not able, they will work harder! Anyway, you have to do all the big and small things in Luan County!
Modern town mayors and grassroots community cadres did not have these positions in the Tang Dynasty. Those in the countryside and below relied on self-government anyway. Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside because there were no civil servants responsible for going to the countryside!
The elders and village chiefs in the countryside are basically people who work for the court out of their own pockets. How much control do you have if you don't even pay them any wages?
Therefore, it is a last resort for the imperial power not to go to the countryside. If it can be taken care of, why not ignore it.
In a feudal society where transportation basically relied on walking, communication basically relied on shouting, and productivity was extremely low, how could the imperial court afford to support grassroots civil servants in the countryside? If it really supported so many people, the national treasury would go bankrupt in minutes, and the minister of household affairs would faint in the toilet from crying.
.
Since Luan County built a Wanghai Saltworks last year, the county government's economy has been greatly benefited from Shiquan Tonic Decoction, and the number of government officials and delinquents has also expanded a lot.
However, compared with the vast ocean of ordinary people, the additional manpower in the county government is still a drop in the bucket.
Xiao Chong even arranged for his subordinates and retainers to work in the county government and paid everyone's wages out of his own pocket, but he was still extremely busy every day.
The county magistrate is extremely busy, how can the chief registrar and county lieutenant relax?
Others stayed at home during the hurricane, eating wine and singing songs, but the people in their county government had to work overtime hard.
We have to patrol the streets, observe the impact of the hurricane, and prevent the young people from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Everyone comes in the wind and out in the rain, and is too tired to speak.
After the hurricane, the rich farmers all lamented that the weather had cleared up and the rain had stopped, and they could dance again. Only the people in the county government became busier!
Not only do we have to statistically analyze the information reported by the elders and village chiefs, check the losses, but we also have to be busy providing disaster relief and resettlement for the good people who have caused trouble.
Xiao Chong's reputation in the hearts of the people has reached its peak during this expected hurricane. Now everyone hopes that Xiao Mingfu can continue to save them from disaster.
