"County Lord, we really can't support it anymore!"
"Please forgive me, the county magistrate, and let me rest for half a day!"
“I really can’t do it anymore!”
Everyone cried and shouted.
Seeing this, Du He said righteously: "Everyone, don't forget that you have come to Hu County with a mission. The purpose of your coming here is to prevent the more than 30,000 people in Hu County from going hungry and to benefit people.
People of Huxian County, you are here to endure hardship, not to enjoy blessings... While you are eating meat and drinking wine, there are tens of thousands of people outside who are homeless and displaced and can only drink one thin meal a day.
Porridge, on the first day I took office, I went among them and asked them, what if they had a full meal? Some people told me with tears that they were willing to die if they could have a full meal, as long as I gave them
For food, let alone let them work, we are even willing to let them jump into the sea of fire. Now, you live in a brand-new dormitory and have a full meal, but you are still here complaining of tiredness. I am ashamed of you!"
Everyone lowered their heads.
ashamed!
Du He glanced around and asked loudly: "Who can't work now? Come forward."
No one stood up.
Du He's words reminded everyone of what they saw and heard after entering Hu County.
Those common people, dressed in rags, with sallow complexion and thin skin, lived on the streets without even a shelter to protect them from the wind and rain. They could only gather in twos and threes in the streets and alleys. Every day when they heard the sound of banging at the city gate, they would go there with their tattered bowls.
When receiving porridge, adults can get one bowl at a time, and children can only get half a bowl at a time... They can receive it twice a day, and they can barely survive.
Compared with them, it doesn't matter if I am a little bit more miserable or tired.
Du He said: "If this office is not built one day, our county government will not be able to carry out its work, and those people will continue to be hungry. Everyone, please tell your conscience, are you willing?"
"I don't want to!"
Someone said loudly.
"Work!"
"Work!"
The crowd was so angry that they all picked up their tools and walked forward under the leadership of Lu Yuan.
Seeing how energetic he has become now, Du He sighed: "It's great to be young!"
Zhang Jian on the side almost fainted.
Du He said: "Find someone to keep an eye on Dai Jinyun, wait for him to wake up, feed him, and let him build an office center immediately. Now, everyone has learned this new method of building houses, and I don't need to
Staring."
Zhang Jian nodded, "The young master's words just now brought tears to my eyes. The young master is really a great man. I will arrange people here and follow you, young master, to be considerate of the people's sentiments."
"Who said I had to show sympathy to the people?" Du He was stunned and asked.
Zhang Jian was surprised and said: "If the young master doesn't focus on building houses, isn't he caring about the people's sentiments?"
Du He yawned: "It's a shitty experience. Just leave this kind of thing to Lao Ma. I was too tired yesterday and my back and arms hurt. Let's go and take a nap first."
With that said, Du He left.
Zhang Jian was left stunned.
The young master is indeed no ordinary person!
…
Dai Jinyun slowly opened his eyes and struggled to get up, his whole body was weak and weak.
There were clanking sounds outside, and those guys were building houses again.
His stomach growled.
Turning around, I saw several large cakes on the table.
Dai Jinyun didn't care much. He stood up suddenly, rushed to the table, picked up the big cake and started to eat it. He choked while chewing. He quickly picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few sips before he regained his composure.
"No, I can't stay here. If I continue to stay, I will definitely be beaten to death by Du He..."
"I don't want to die, I want to go home!"
"I want to find my mother!"
"Woooo..."
He cried.
After crying for a long time, Dai Jinyun got up from the ground, wiped away his tears and nose, walked to the window, took a look, and found that the place where he lived was actually a newly built dormitory, and this place was behind the county government office, with a small river next to it.
There are no barriers around.
The key is that now everyone is going to build an office center in the front yard of the county government, and there is no one here.
"This is a good opportunity..."
Dai Jinyun picked up the four or five large cakes left on the table, opened the door, carefully looked around, and then ran away without looking back.
He quickly arrived at the city gate of Huxian County, and saw someone strictly guarding him. He thought he would be arrested, but before he could react, the soldier guarding the city shouted loudly: "What are you looking at?
Little beggar, if you want to leave the city, hurry up and get out..."
"Oh, okay..."
Dai Jinyun turned around and slipped away, running out of Huxian County without looking back.
"Mom, I'm free...I want to go home!"
…
Bang bang bang.
The door was banged.
Du He opened the door and met Zhang Jian head-on.
Zhang Jian said breathlessly: "Master, it's not good, Dai Jinyun has run away. I have arranged for people to look for him. They have searched all over the county, but there is no trace of him. I am afraid he has left the city."
"Oh!" Du He was very calm.
Zhang Jian was anxious, "Master, don't be anxious. This boy is Dai Shangshu's nephew. If he goes back and sues you in front of Dai Shangshu, what will you do?"
To be fair, Zhang Jian also felt that Du He hanging Dai Jinyun all night was a bit too much.
Du He smiled slightly: "Let him go. I am hungry, so I will ask someone to prepare breakfast!"
"..."
Can we just stop worrying about eating at this time?
…
Chang'an.
Dai Mansion.
Dai Jinyun spent two days and finally returned home.
"Uncle, you don't know that the life I lived in Hu County is not a human life. Du He was too cruel. He hung me up and whipped me. He just whipped me and didn't give me anything.
Even if I had to eat, I could tolerate not eating, but he hung me on a tree for a whole night. Everyone was sleeping soundly, but I was hanging on the tree. I shouted loudly for help, but no one paid any attention...
...Uncle, it’s too difficult for me. If you want to make the decision for me, you must make the decision for me..."
Seeing Dai Zhou, Dai Jinyun burst into tears and burst into tears.
As he said that, he took off his clothes.
There were whip marks all over his body.
Dai Zhou slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. Du He and I have a pretty good relationship. Du Xiang and I have been friends for many years. But I didn't expect that after leaving Chang'an, Du He
To treat my nephew like this, hum, this matter must not be let go like this. I will go to see your majesty right away and give you an explanation. People from my Dai family are not so easy to bully... Du He must
Just give me an explanation!"
Dai Zhou was so angry that he immediately arranged carriages and horses, left Dai's house and rushed to the palace.
…
Tai Chi Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Er put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Hou Junji.
Li Er asked softly: "Haozhi, I asked you to send someone to Hu County to investigate, is there any news?"
