When the soldiers escorted the Taoist priest over, it was already dark.Yuan Baoheng got up early and learned the news that Qiao Zhiqing was going out, so he hurriedly rushed over with Hu Dequan.The villagers gathered in the wheat field, and they all lowered their heads in frustration, not knowing what Qiao Zhiqing wanted to do with them.They had just learned of the deaths of Tian Qingfu and Tian Junhu, and all of them, regardless of men, women, and children, were full of panic.The village chief is a big official in their eyes, especially his son is still the county police chief, but he was so easily cleaned up by these outsiders."
President, it's all because his subordinates didn't manage this place well, can this matter be handed over to his subordinates" Hu Dequan, the magistrate of Huojia County, carefully asked Qiao Zhiqing, wanting to clean up this mess by himself."
Okay" Qiao Zhiqing nodded, sat on the stone mill and looked at the villagers, lit a cigarette and smoked."
The villagers of Tianjiawan, I am the county magistrate of our Huojia County.You may all know about last night's incident, your so-called matter of burning drought and begging for rain is actually a deliberate murder case, and the village chief Tian Qingfu occupied Tian Runye to no avail, colluded with Xishan Taoist Ling Yunzi, and framed Tian Runye as the reincarnation of the drought fish.wanted to use this matter to force Tian Runye to comply, but the girl would rather die.Do you know that you almost became an accomplice to the murderer last night," Hu Dequan stood in front of the villagers and cleared his throat, pointing out the problem to the villagers with a serious face.Otherwise, they always think that these strangers have ruined last night's ritual and deliberately don't want this place to rain."
How is this possible" "Why is this the case" "I have long seen that Tian Qingfu is not normal, he used to oppress us like this" "Yes, it seems that Tian Qingfu did something.He had already taken Aunt Bafang's wife, and he didn't even let go of the maid"""The villagers immediately exploded, and their faces were full of half-believing expressions.The police stood in a circle around the wheat field, and they thought that the county magistrate had come to settle accounts with them, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous."
Bring Ling Yunzi to me" The county magistrate waved his hand to the police, and soon an obscene Taoist priest was escorted up, trembling and kneeling down in front of the villagers."
Ling Yunzi, tell the villagers everything that happened.If there is the slightest lie, you will be hit by your head immediately" Hu Dequan glared at Ling Yunzi and waved his hand to the villagers, signaling everyone to be quiet."
I confess, I am guilty.This matter was all explained by the village chief Tian Qingfu and his second aunt Ah When Tian Qingfu was at home, he always acted on Tian Runye and thought about it.His second aunt was so jealous that she confessed that she framed Tian Runye as the reincarnation of a drought and burned her alive.Tian Qingfu also used this reason to coerce Tian Runye to comply, but Tian Runye did not obey him.Everything is fake, I don't know how to ask for rain at all, Tian Runye is not the reincarnation of a dry fish, I am just a fake Taoist priest who eats and drinks" Ling Yunzi was as frightened as a dog, kneeling on the ground and constantly wailing with the villagers.Hu Dequan had interrogated him overnight last night, and his second aunt was also arrested by the police as an intentional murderer.For this reason, Tian Runye didn't know that women's hearts were sometimes more vicious than men's.Tian Qingfu is usually afraid of his second aunt, and he obeys her words.He was reluctant to burn Tian Runye, but in the end, he couldn't resist his second aunt."
Brute, not human" "Kill him, liar, big liar" "As soon as the villagers heard this, they immediately no longer had the slightest suspicion.They all had a feeling of being deceived, and they clenched their fists and wanted to step forward and beat Ling Yunzi hard.The police struggled to control the situation at the scene and soon quieted down the villagers."
Everyone knows the truth of the matter, the weather is drought, and I, as the head of a county, are as anxious as you.But in the fight against drought and disaster relief, you can't go down the wrong path, and almost burn a good girl to death, your conscience will not be at peace for the rest of your life" Hu Dequan sternly scolded the villagers, and all the villagers immediately lowered their heads in shame."
Runye, uncle is sorry for you and made you suffer" "Runye, the eldest brother is wrong, the eldest brother has made amends for you" "Runye, don't blame the aunt, the aunt is confused for a while" "The villagers found out in their conscience, and they all regretted it, and they all apologized to Tian Runye.For a while, all the grievances flooded into the heart of Tian Runye.Her tears were like a flood that burst the embankment, and she crouched down and wept out.All the notoriety has been imposed on her these days, putting unimaginable pressure on her young mind."
Alright, that's the end of it.The Tian family's house will be collectively owned from now on, and it will soon be converted into the Tianjiawan School, and in the future, there will be various drought relief policies issued to the village.Remember to cherish the power in your hands, and don't choose a local tyrant and bully who is rich and unkind" "Thank you to the county magistrate for your kindness" The villagers originally wanted to kneel, but Hu Dequan was prepared and let the police stop them early.In the end, all saluted and talked excitedly."
Okay, let's disperse" The matter has been clarified, and Hu Dequan also knows that this kind of feudal superstitious thinking is difficult to get rid of for a while.After asking Qiao Zhiqing's consent, he waved his hand and let the villagers disperse.After the matter of Tianjiawan was properly handled, Qiao Zhiqing and his party had breakfast and set off to Jiaozuo City.Qiao Zhiqing was greatly touched by this trip to the countryside, and the backwardness here was shocking.Not only in material life, but also in thinking.He kept his face silent all the way, and an anxious feeling rose from his heart, making his heart fluctuate, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, "Brother Qiao, you don't have to worry."
Things have to come step by step, we have to first acknowledge this reality, and then slowly change. ”Wei Ziyou rode in the same carriage with him, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel relieved worried.Tian Runye was also in the carriage, lying on the window of the carriage and constantly looking at the scenery outside, not understanding what Wei Ziyou was talking about.But the scenery outside the window made her excited, she grew so big, it was the first time she left Tianjiawan."
Don't worry, I'm fine."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and didn't say anything.He had already devised several countermeasures in his mind: First, he should launch a literacy campaign in the rural areas, crack down on feudal superstition, and disseminate scientific and cultural knowledge.The specific method can refer to later generations, and set up peasant night schools in rural areas, so that each village can select people who can read and write to teach the peasants.Incentives can be set up to arouse the enthusiasm of peasants.For example, farmers who have made great progress can be exempted from agricultural taxes for one year.Second, it is necessary to change the style of officials, and the promotion of every official must be linked to his or her political achievements.Officials are evaluated on the basis of their performance every quarter.All unscrupulous and mediocre officials were replaced, and capable and willing officials were promoted.Third, it is necessary to increase investment in education, and every village should set up a primary school, every town should build a junior high school, every county should build a high school, and every city should build a university.Only by continuously improving the cultural level of the people can the country be fundamentally changed.Wei Ziyou is right in saying that this matter cannot be rushed, after all, the Great Wall was not built in a day.If you are too aggressive, it will backfire.Thinking of this, Qiao Zhiqing's heart slowly calmed down.At noon, the carriage entered the city of Jiaozuo.Yuan Baoheng separated from everyone outside the city, crossed the Yellow River to the south and continued to return to Luoyang.Jiaozuo, Xinxiang and other cities have just been changed to the prefecture and city level, and they used to be under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is the scale of a county seat at this time.After Dai Jun officially served as the first mayor of Jiaozuo City, he carried out many drastic reforms, paving the way for economic development.Qiao Zhiqing saw a big chimney rising into the sky outside the city, and there was the newly built Jiaozuo Coal Chemical Plant."
Dai Jun, don't go into the city, let's go directly to the countryside" Qiao Zhiqing sent Yuan Baoheng away, and looked around this emerging small city outside the city, his mind was obviously not in the city."
President, I know you're anxious.But you go with me to the city hall first, where there is a sand table that has been prepared.I'll explain it to you, let's go to the scene tomorrow to check it out" Dai Jun smiled and persuaded Qiao Zhiqing, and led everyone into the city in front.The city is not very big now, and the houses are only two storeys high, all of which are located on both sides of the main road.The road was only hardened with stone bricks, and it was widened a lot on the basis of the former official road.The four walls of the city, as everywhere, were left with only four towers, and the others were demolished and paved with roads and embankments.There is no question of civil and military protection yet, and these things can only be taken slowly after filling their stomachs.The city hall was rebuilt on the basis of the original county government and was only the size of a playground.In front is the office area, and in the back is the family compound.The group went directly into the conference room, which was the lobby of the original county office.In the middle of the conference room, there was a sand table that had already been prepared, and Dai Jun was accustomed to deducing on the sand table when marching and fighting, and he also brought this habit with him in economic construction.The sand table is the size of a billiard table, and on it is the main work goal of the Jiaozuo municipal government this year.Dai Jun instructed his subordinates to take a wooden stick and directly acted as a commentator for a while.The models of the sand table are very realistic, there are mountains, rivers and trees on it, and the place names of various places are clearly marked."
That's what I'm going to show you, President.In fact, there are only four words to sum up, that is, "cash for work".This year, Jiangbei suffered from drought, and our government has the unshirkable responsibility to provide assistance to the people.But we can't send food in vain, because this will only raise a group of idlers and lazy people.Ordinary people will think that whether they work or not, our government will manage it anyway.In the future, even if the wind and rain are good, there will be people who do not want to work and wait for government relief.In the long run, we will only do our best to fish, and our government can't afford it" The waiter of the municipal government quickly served tea to everyone, and Dai Jun handed over this year's work report to Qiao Zhiqing for a look, and then introduced it in a summary first
