My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 81: Back to Xiaohuling

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

In the field, Lu Mingjing was bare-chested and loosening the soil with a hoe. He was already sweating profusely without sweating easily.

This is the farmland of Xiaohuling Village. Commissioner Zhang responded to General Lu's call and entered the fields to help the farmers with farm work.

Yesterday, General Lu issued a document, hoping that public servants at all levels will enter factories, mines and farmland to truly understand the sufferings of the people. He proposed that public servants at all levels dedicate 8 hours of their time every month to work with farmers and workers. Go among the people.

In fact, Lu Ming also knew that this kind of thing could easily become a mere formality.

The further development of the Donghai model, perfecting the system, and improving the law are the real ingredients for a healthy society. If you only rely on your own prestige and administrative orders to ask officials at all levels to do whatever you want, once you are gone, you will be restored in minutes. Become an old society.

However, as far as the Northern Territory is concerned, there is really no soil for completely implementing the East China Sea model, so we can only take it slowly.

Requiring officials at all levels to go to the fields and factories is to break the people's mysterious understanding of "officials".

If the common people see a high-ranking official often and realize that he is also an ordinary person, the mystery of the "official" will naturally be diminished.

The higher you are, the harder it is for ordinary people to meet you, and the media is not allowed to report and supervise "officials" in real life. The more sacred "officials" are, slowly, they will return to the dynasty era. Yes, the social model may be different, but in fact the way of thinking will not be any different.

Of course, the initiative he implemented in Montenegro was groundbreaking. It subverted too many traditions. I don’t know how many senior officials would be dissatisfied with me.

But that’s what I did. Taking advantage of the small area under my control, not many officials, and the peak of my prestige, I pushed it forward. It was called an initiative, but it was actually an administrative order, and it required officials at all levels to Carefully review articles written by lower-level officials about their experiences in "working with the people."

If you don't make up your mind to carry out these dangerous actions that may threaten the foundation of your rule now, you won't have the opportunity in the future even if you want to.

Nowadays, as long as it is promoted and carried out without encountering systemic resistance, officials will gradually become accustomed to it. They are also ordinary people and have the same adaptability as ordinary people. They are manipulated and slowly Just get used to it.

In fact, the identity of "Commissioner Zhang" is part of the military system. There is no need to participate in the "Working with the People" movement. However, as General Lu's confidant, he must practice it and take the lead in supporting General Lu's initiative with practical actions.

In this way, I came to Xiaohuling Village.

Of course, the selection of Xiaohuling Village as the research site for Commissioner Zhang’s “working with the people” had other motives.

Originally, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but after finishing the farm work this day, Lu Ming felt comfortable all over his body. He didn't sweat easily, but now his whole body was covered with sweat, and he felt extremely comfortable.

"Sir, sir, that's enough, that's enough!" A farm couple next to them expressed fear that they were the owners of the nearby fields.

The male head of the family is called Zhuzi, and the female is Zhuzhu. Her real name is a bit indecent.

Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhu’s wife were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

This Chief Zhang is simply easier to use than an ox. He is so strong and powerful. How much soil was loosened this day?

Lu Ming smiled at them, stretched out his arms to relax his muscles and bones, looked at the flaming clouds on the horizon, and said with a smile: "You usually have to work for a while longer, right?"

It is September now, and although it is not very hot at noon in the Northern Territory, farmers naturally feel comfortable working in the morning and evening.

After listening to Chief Zhang's words, Zhuzi and his wife looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Normally, they would have to work for a while longer before finishing the work, but the work they usually do in five days is not as good as what Chief Zhang does in one day. Yes, he is simply a bull.

No, it can do better than that wild cow. Unfortunately, there were bandits a while ago, and several cows from big households confiscated by the village government were killed. Now I really miss that wild cow. When he was alive, he treated it It would be nice to be better.

Lu Ming picked up the **** and said with a smile: "I'll work for a while."

On the path between the fields, two slim figures who were originally at the head of the fields came over. They were Pei and Zou.

Lu Ming brought them here because he wanted to attract the attention of the bandits, so he came to Xiaohuling Village.

It would be great if you could lure the bandits down the mountain. If you can't attract them, you still have a backup plan.

Over there, looking at Lu Ming's sweaty naked upper body, Pei and Zou's beautiful eyes were both strange. It turned out that this demon was not only terrifying with its viciousness, but also had a terrifying physique.

"Master, please have a rest..." Mrs. Zou held a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the sweat of the family master, but her snow-white hands painted with red nail polish stretched the handkerchief halfway and then retracted it. After all, she did not dare to touch it. Touch this devil.

Ms. Pei whispered "Uncle" from the side.

Both of them were wearing cloth clothes and trousers. In fact, when they heard that they were going to work in the fields, Ms. Zou felt like crying but had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, in the end, the devil realized his conscience and did not let them go to the fields.

"Master..." A slender figure ran from the ridge of the field. It was Xiangling, the girl Lu Ming rescued from Shibaguaizi Cave.

Her parents are dead and are now living in Zhuzi's house. Zhuzi and his wife are her cousin and cousin-in-law.

"I made some sugar water for you..." The green military kettle in Xiangling's hand came from someone unknown. It had a lot of paint peeled off and was flat. According to the military, it was considered scrap.

Lu Ming took it and saw that the spout was polished brightly. He smiled at Xiangling and said, "Thank you!" He took a sip and saw that it was saccharin water, but Lu Ming still drank it. I took a few big sips.

Xiang Ling showed a happy smile.

"Let's go, stop working and go back to the village!" Lu Ming smiled.

Looking around the fields, several young men in peaked caps quickly approached.

Zhuzi and his wife fearfully called these young men "boss", knowing that they were all soldiers.

Country people like to use the honorific title of "Boss" when addressing soldiers. Although in the entire Wanzhou area, Commissioner Zhang is actually the only one who can be called "Boss".

……

Next to several simple tents at the entrance of the village, bonfires were lit, and a circle of villagers, men, women, old and young, sat around.

During this period, Xiaohuling Village was full of misery and sorrow. Only on the day of the public trial, when Liu Taisui was sentenced to death and executed on the spot, did the village burst into cheers. However, after so many people died, it was necessary to restore tranquility. For this village, it still needs time to heal its wounds.

Baochang is a middle-aged man in his forties, with the surname of Li. Almost everyone in Xiaohuling Village has the surname Li. Baochang Li belongs to a wealthy family in the village. The old Baochang who was killed during the banditry was his father.

The villagers all sat in an orderly manner.

The Commissioner Zhang who was speaking was the benefactor of the entire village, so everyone listened carefully to what he said.

Unexpectedly, Commissioner Zhang suddenly mentioned that many silver coins were seized from Liu Taisui during the suppression of bandits. All of these silver coins would be used to compensate the victims and all villagers in Xiaohuling Village. The victims would be Each person will be given a pension of 50 silver dollars, which is 500 imperial coins.

Everyone looked at each other and never thought about it.

Moreover, no household in the village has been wiped out by bandits, so the families of the victims can get this compensation.

"As for the rest of the money, we helped to purchase twelve cows and some farm tools." Lu Ming spoke and glanced at Li Baochang, "However, these things are not managed by the village government, but will be managed by the village government." If I sell it to you, the price will be favorable. You can come and buy it as a group. I looked at the statistics. There are still 75 households in Xiaohuling Village, right? You can voluntarily combine to buy it. It’s a white note, no interest, pay it back slowly.”

If these means of production are handed over to the village office and said to be collectively owned, then Li Baozhang will distribute them to whoever wants to use them.

It is conceivable that those who have a good relationship with Li Baozhang and are close relatives will definitely benefit. Even if it is not a blatant occupation, that kind of power and inequality will become an unfairness visible to all villagers until they become accustomed to it. Have a long relationship with Li Baochang.

Especially when it comes to the right to use the most important means of production for farmers, it is very likely that some shady stories will arise.

Not to mention the storage of farm tools, the feeding of cattle, etc. No one will feel bad about things that are not their own but public property.

Therefore, letting them "buy" it and make it the common property of several households and become their own family's things has completely different meanings.

The villagers listened stupidly, not understanding what the chief officer meant.

Want to spend money to buy it? Idiot? Why does it sound like exorbitant taxes in disguise?

But Chief Zhang saved so many people in the village, he can be said to be the living Buddha of the village. Even if he wants the village to get some hard-earned money, military contributions, etc., he should still have a share.

So someone took the lead in cheering, and then there was applause, and the cheers continued.

Lu Ming thought, they will naturally understand gradually in the future.
