Fang Xiancheng felt that the punishment was too light, but he turned around and glanced at Bai Shan, but said nothing.
When Bai Shan first arrived, he was worried that the young magistrate would not be able to manage Beihai County well and would even make the situation in Beihai County worse. After all, the previous magistrate Lu not only looked smart and capable, but he was also really smart and capable.
Bai Shan looks too young and gentle.
But when he later faced the Song family, he showed no gentleness at all against the bandits in Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village. He struck hard and steadily, and with the power of the salt farm and the prince, he suppressed all the wealthy gentry in Beihai County to the ground;
He thought Magistrate Bai was a smiling fox, but it turned out that he was really gentle and kind. He issued a service order to recruit servants, which not only increased the food for the servants, but also shortened the time and intensity of the laborers' work.
For this reason, they also called the servants in two times and staggered their service time.
Otherwise, all the soldiers in the county were serving at the same time and had finished their service more than 20 days ago. Why would they squat at the intersection and watch them digging in the cold wind?
Fang Xian Cheng thought for a while and felt that a Shangguan who was gentle to the people was better than a Shangguan who was harsh to the people, so after expressing his objections twice and seeing that Bai Shan insisted on his own opinion, he no longer struggled with the matter.
Five people squatted at the intersection and watched them dig and fill the soil. When the sun was about to set, the sound of banging was heard. The servants standing on the road immediately dropped their tools and ran to the place where the food was placed.
Many people followed the person in front and lost their tools. After running for two steps, they saw Bai Shan standing on the roadside with his hands folded. They couldn't help but pause slightly. Their anxious eyes came into contact with Bai Shan's cold eyes, and they felt even more uneasy.
Several people swallowed and couldn't help but peek at Bai Shan again. They saw that there was no expression on his face, but his eyes seemed colder.
They didn't know what they were thinking, so they turned back and picked up the tools they had just dropped. When they came to their senses, they had already run away with their heads down holding their tools.
When those who were lagging behind saw them turning around to get their tools, they couldn't help but turn around and get them...
Seeing that they had all run away, went back to get their rice bowls, and went to line up to eat, Bai Shan withdrew his gaze coldly.
Yin You sighed and said: "This is following the crowd. If one person among the crowd first acts evil, he can lead the people around him to do evil deeds; if one person acts good first, he can also lead the people around him to do good deeds."
Bai Erlang chuckled, patted Bai Shan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. The folk customs in your Beihai County have always been unsophisticated. It's not like you don't know. Just educate them slowly."
Bai Shan glanced at them and said, "I am educating them now."
He said: "Start with the rules. I don't care what they think. You must abide by my rules first."
Bai Zhi said meaningfully: "After observing the rules for a long time, they become deep in their bones, and they become what they want in their hearts, and they will naturally be educated."
Mr. Cui on the side couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you punish them severely? Let them know they are afraid, and they will naturally obey the rules."
Bai Shan shook his head slightly, "No, punish them severely and make them fearful. Even if they abide by these rules in behavior, they don't agree with them in their hearts. Instead, they will feel that the rules of this county are wrong. This is just right now. If they don't abide by the rules, they should be afraid."
The county punishes them according to the rules, so that even if they are not afraid, they will know in their hearts that they are wrong!"
He said: "Since we have to abide by the rules, we should start from this county. If I abide by the rules, they will naturally abide by the rules too."
This series of rules made the other four people silent for a while. After a while, Mr. Cui flattered him and said: "Your Excellency leads by example. I am far beyond my ability. I am ashamed and ashamed."
Fangxian Cheng also began to think about it.
Bai Shan had already walked to the place where the food was placed, "Let's go, let's go eat too."
Bai Shan and the others also took out a rice bowl and lined up behind the servants to get rice.
The yamen servant who was serving food in front saw their hands shaking a lot. The servant who was holding out his bowl to receive the food opened his eyes wide and looked at the yamen servant in disbelief.
Bai Shan raised his eyelids and looked at the yamen servant. The yamen servant was startled. He didn't dare to let the county magistrate think that he was mistreating the servant. He immediately scooped a spoonful of vegetables and slapped it into the servant's bowl. In an instant, the big bowl was piled up to a point.
Already.
The servant's eyes widened even more, perhaps because he was afraid that the Yamen servant would ask for the extra food, so he immediately ran away with the bowl in both hands, ran to the front and got two multi-grain steamed buns, turned around and walked to a leeward place first.
Eat it quickly...
Bai Shan came forward with a bowl in hand. The officer who served him the meal smiled at him in a flattering manner, and then served him the meal with a confused look on his face.
Bai Shan also only took a big bowl, so should he fetch more rice, or fetch less, leaving space for the people behind him to fetch food?
I’m so confused. Does the magistrate prefer eating or eating vegetables?
Bai Shan seemed to notice his embarrassment and started to walk to the front when he was about to shovel his second meal...
The servant who was serving the meal was relieved for a moment, but the servant behind who was serving the vegetables was worried...
Bai Erlang and Yin or they all lined up behind Bai Shan, but for some reason the guards and government officials were not so nervous about them.
Obviously these young masters were of high status, but in the end they attributed it to the fact that Bai Shan was not only the county magistrate, but also the current administrator.
The five of them packed their meals and found a piece of grass nearby to sit and eat together. The guards also brought bowls and sat near them to eat.
Needless to say, this dish doesn’t look very good, but it tastes pretty good. The main thing is that everyone has either a piece of meat or a piece of grease in their bowl.
Especially oil residue. If anyone can eat a piece of oil residue, it will be something that can show off for a whole day.
Bai Shan was very lucky. There was a piece in his bowl. He turned it out and showed it to them. He said proudly: "It seems I am very lucky."
Bai Erlang took out two pieces of oil residue and showed them to him.
There was only one piece of meat left, which was still lean. Yin You and Bai Shan looked at him silently.
Fang Xiancheng took a big bite of a multi-grain steamed bun, and after eating it, he asked the question that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, "Why do you care so much about Yiding's food?"
To be honest, when he first got the list of service requirements given by Bai Shan, he was shocked. He thought it was a requirement for the sergeants, but he did not expect that it was a requirement for the county government.
The above directly increased the salary of the servants by a large margin. Not only breakfast, lunch and dinner were all included, each meal was also increased by an extra steamed bun and a bowl of rice, and it was also required that each meal should not be less than two dishes.
Even the ratio of multigrain and white flour in the steamed buns has been increased, making the multigrain steamed buns whiter.
Bai Shandao: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Excluding this batch of servants, overall, has their service efficiency been improved?"
Prime Minister Fang County nodded, and Mr. Cui said: "But this efficiency is not enough for us to pay such a high price, right? As far as I know, under strict requirements, such service efficiency is common."
Bai Shan said: "But they are also my people."
He said: "This county is their parent official. Whether it is building roads or water conservancy, the original intention is to benefit the people. In this case, during the implementation process, I, the parent official, also feel sorry for them. What is wrong with benefiting them? Who says
Serving in the military must be so hard that life is worse than death?"
