"If you don't take this official job well, you will be sorry for the people's trust in you."
Qin Huaidao spoke seriously and looked at him seriously.
Guo Jingfeng's eyes were full of seriousness.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said firmly: "I know, I will definitely do this well, please believe me!"
Hearing this, Qin Huaidao nodded with satisfaction.
He smiled slightly and said seriously: "That's good, I believe you have the strength to do what you promised!"
In the middle of what he said, Guo Jingfeng suddenly shook his head solemnly.
He sighed heavily and said with helplessness in his eyes: "I will definitely do this well and live up to expectations, but the county is really too barren. Not only does the land not grow much crops, but the food harvest is not good, and the people
It’s too late to open the pot, and there’s nothing I can do now.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Huaidao immediately began to think seriously.
Luo Wu's face looked very solemn. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and asked suspiciously: "Master Qin, what are you going to do about this matter?"
Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and said seriously: "I have a way."
Hearing this, the common people looked anxious, their eyes lit up one after another, they looked at Qin Huaidao eagerly, and asked anxiously: "What is your clever plan, sir? Please tell me!"
Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment and then spoke softly: "Build roads for the county and use work as relief. Each family can select capable laborers to come and participate in the road construction. When the time comes, the court will pay you wages."
Upon hearing this, the people suddenly became excited and eager!
Their eyes were full of gratitude, and they raised their hands extremely eagerly, rushing to sign up!
Luo Wu waved his hand, took a pen and paper and began to write down who had signed up.
Almost all the men in the county came to sign up.
Soon, this matter began to be carried out in a big way.
As the new county magistrate, Guo Jingfeng has fully utilized his abilities to the extreme. All the villagers are very grateful to Guo Jingfeng, the new county magistrate, and they are also very motivated!
After recruiting the candidates, we quickly started arranging to open the mountain and build the road.
At this moment, Dafeng Village stationed on Dabie Mountain also received the news.
"The village master!"
One of the bandits, sweating profusely, rushed to the village leader Wang Yuan and said eagerly: "Oh no, something big has happened!"
Wang Yuan looked dissatisfied, slowly put down his teacup, and asked displeasedly: "What happened to make you so panicked? Tell me!"
The bandit's subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead, with an anxious look on his face, and said eagerly: "Over in Sishui County, they have begun to dig mountains and build roads. It is said that the government is building roads and paying money to the people!"<
/p>
Hearing this, Wang Yuan looked happy and asked excitedly: "Is what you said true or false?"
The bandit's subordinate chuckled and replied seriously: "Of course it's true, village leader, if you don't believe it, why don't you come with me and take a look?"
When Wang Yuan heard this, he immediately asked the bandit subordinates to lead the way.
The two of them sneakily rushed towards the site where the mountain was being built for road construction. Sure enough, they saw a group of people surrounding the foot of the mountain, loading sand, gravel and tiles.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yuan suddenly sneered.
His face was full of triumph, and he said sarcastically: "I thought what was going on, but I didn't expect that it was just a group of farmers working here."
He wiped his face fiercely and said with a gloomy expression: "Aren't you taking the initiative to put fat sheep into our mouths?"
The subordinate on the side looked very excited, and he asked excitedly: "Captain, when do you plan to take action?"
"Tonight!"
Wang Yuan was very confident and calm, and said with a proud look on his face: "After robbing the fat sheep, let the brothers have a good time!"
The bandit subordinates looked happy and followed Wang Yuan back to Dafeng Village with a smile.
Little did they know that what they just saw was not what they thought.
Most of the people who work are indeed farmers.
As everyone knows, there are also a thousand soldiers brought by Qin Huaidao. They wear ordinary burlap clothes and work with the villagers. At first glance, they are indeed no different from ordinary villagers. No wonder Wang Yuan got it wrong. p>
In the evening, the villagers finished their work and sat aside to rest.
Because they have the support of the government, they have plenty to eat. After eating, they are full of energy!
Qin Huaidao smiled and glanced at the villagers present, waved to Luo Wu, and said seriously: "Everyone did a good job today, and the entire road construction progress has made a good start!"
"Lao Luo, please hand over the wages that should be paid to them today."
Qin Huaidao's words made all the villagers present look very happy, with tears in their excited eyes.
Before, under the double squeeze of Gao Da Mao and the county magistrate, they could not make ends meet.
Not only did they not have enough food and clothing, but they also had to brave the severe cold and heat to work desperately.
They could earn ten cents, but nine cents were taken away from them, leaving them impoverished and on the verge of collapse!
Some wives ran away with others, some children were sold to others just for a meal, and some died of illness or starvation!
The former county magistrate committed a great evil!
Now, under the leadership of Qin Huaidao, not only have they been replaced with a new county magistrate who is capable and considerate of the people, he also really wants to pay them wages!
Even though they haven't received their wages yet, they are already in tears and look grateful.
Luo Wu quickly handed out the money. When the people saw the real money in their hands, they burst into tears and choked with sobs that they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Wow, Mr. Qin, you are simply our great benefactor!"
"Yes, we have been squeezed for such a long time, and I finally have a chance to see what silver looks like!"
"I will never have to live a hard life again, Mr. Qin, thank you very much!"
All the villagers looked excited and thanked Qin Huaidao repeatedly, and they were full of praise for him!
Qin Huaidao smiled, waved his hand and said, "As long as you conscientiously complete what you should do, you will receive corresponding rewards!"
At this moment, there suddenly came a sound of kicking footsteps in the distance.
The next second, more than a hundred people rushed here in a mighty manner. Their faces were gloomy and their mouths were filled with arrogant smiles, as if they were seeing lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Those who know the truth, hand over all your money to me, or I will kill you!"
