Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1322
[Chapter 969]
Hongnong’s new county magistrate, Liu Yan, is an official with a lot of personality, at least in the party he is in charge of.
He said that he would vigorously develop tourism in Hongnong County, so he insisted on his own ideas.
Decision-making in the county has always been managed by the county magistrate, and the clerk is only a means of balance. Unless the magistrate has made a mistake, then the clerk will report it up.
The county magistrate is also an official who helps the county magistrate.
Liu Yan wanted to widen the river flowing through Lao Liushu Village, and at the same time make the water shallower. The so-called water shallower means that the water surface is close to the shore, not really making the water shallow all of a sudden. It will drop a bit, but not half of what is theoretical.
He believes that in this way, the fear of people sitting on the boat and getting closer to the shore will be reduced, and there will be more people strolling on the shore. In fact, he has a problem of dizziness.
Since Lao Liushu Village did not agree, Liu Yan started from the upper reaches of the river. The river flowing through Lao Liushu Village is not a big river, but a tributary of the Honglu River. If it is not a military map, it will not be marked on it.
The source of the river is the mountain, and the water flows out from the mountain, some of which are stagnant water caused by rain, and some of them are underground rivers that emerge as the terrain changes.
The river is very deep, and the water in the river swells every year during the rainy season. In the past, it was always necessary to flush the surrounding areas, but the damage caused was not large.
In the past, there were no villages in this mountain. There were only a dozen or so families at the foot of the mountain. They gathered firewood from the mountain, or hunted some wild animals, and then reclaimed a few acres of land to live on.
Now that no one lives at the foot of the mountain, they have moved to a place on the plains, where they raise poultry, so the land at the foot of the mountain is convenient, and it is just right to move their hands.
Liu Yan came out early this morning and took people here to investigate, watching the trickle of streams flowing out of the mountains, converging together, and finally flowing into the river. He has quite a demeanor of pointing the country and the people in the yamen. said:
“Here, right here, is the treasure that God gave us to Hongnong. It should be developed, used, and not wasted here. Otherwise, it will be irresponsible to the people of Hongnong and disrespect to the sky.
Look, The mountains in front of us are so green, look, the water in front of us is so clear, the mountains and rivers are also clear, isn’t it a good place for tourism? Some people travel to Luoyang, and some people travel to Baoxin County. We also developed it here. Connected into a line, tourism resources are shared.
Without such a development idea and the idea of leveraging,
you are either a qualified planner or a sinner in Hongnong County. I don’t want to be this sinner. Similarly, I hope you Don’t be the sinner either.” After
Liu Yan finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet, no one applauded, and no one applauded.
“Xiaotong, talk about it.” Liu Yan asked the newly promoted yamen chief after seeing the cold scene.
The original boss had already quit his job. He went to Shui Yunjian and went there to discuss with the guy who greeted the door. The guy helped him find a new job. He went to the pier in Honglushui to organize some people to practice, and then patrolled the entire river. On the one hand, it can prevent possible cases, and on the other hand, it can be used to rescue people who accidentally fall into the water.
The wages paid are very high, three times that of the yamen, and there is no shortage of benefits. During the inspection, there will naturally be merchant ships or fishing boats that will send them some daily necessities.
They don’t have to ask for it, and others don’t give much. A fisherman usually gives two fish or half a prawn, and walks around a few times a day. At night, there are more things to take home to eat, and there is no need to spend the usual time. living expenses.
It’s not that they are unreasonable and will find trouble with others. It’s because people think that they have worked hard and are willing to pay. If something happens, they still need their help.
In this regard, Liu Yan was very angry. He thought that Shui Yunjian’s man was deliberately opposing him, but he did not dare to ask him. One was that the power behind the man was too great, and the other was that he didn’t think he could argue against Shui Yunjian. The guys in Shui Yunjian are not bad in talent, and they have to study every day. It’s too embarrassing to be told the theory in the past.
Since he couldn’t deal with people, he could only suppress this anger, observe and observe the yamen in the yamen, and promote Tong Hui, who is usually the most honest person, to be the leader.
So now I need someone else to help, so I asked Xiang Tonghui.
Tong Hui had just been the boss for a day, and he didn’t have the slightest idea of being happy. Instead, he felt that he was being roasted on the fire by the magistrate. If the yamen was not close to home, he would also like to change his job.
At this time, when the magistrate asked himself, he forced out a smile and said, “Sir, I really don’t understand economics. I heard that there is a coal mine under this mountain. Why don’t you develop it now? Well, it’s because Hongnong’s economy doesn’t need to use this resource now.
Waiting for future development needs, for example, entering some industries that need heat supply, at that time, it is just right to mine this place, and now we don’t want to move the population here. Migration is because you are worried that you will need to use it one day, and it is difficult for local people to move to other places.
If you make a place for tourism, you must build infrastructure. Build roads to the mountains, build small dams, and build pavilions. Taiwan, and an inn. Later, some people came to do other tourism-related transactions.
This part of the money was invested. If the investment is not recovered, what should we do when Hongnong is stationed in a company that needs to use thermal resources?
And Nahe, You are looking at the height of the bank now because there is no water this year, otherwise the water can rise to the bank or even overflow. You say to widen the small support, but you need to say that the excavated soil should be re-packed into the sack and thrown into the river to let the water surface. The distance from the shore is shortened, what if we catch up with the rainy days?”
After saying this, Tong Hui lowered his head and did not dare to look at the county magistrate. He said that he did not understand the economy, but he read all the plans, and usually Honestly, always willing to think about things.
The most important thing is that he patrols the streets. Now there are newspapers every day, big newspapers and tabloids, and there are people discussing it everywhere. Every day, there are many disputes over this matter. Although it may not be all right, the atmosphere of people participating in politics is very good. Well, each has its own analysis and finds evidence to support its own argument.
After a long time, basically everyone’s knowledge has come up, and they can understand the various policies of the imperial court, which is in line with one aspect of the Analects of Confucius.
People who know how to reason will be more law-abiding, and people who talk about the policies of the imperial court every day will also be more concerned about the affairs of the country. This is how cohesion is created.
Liu Yan has not announced his plan to carry out economic construction in the local area, otherwise the boycott will be even greater, and he will be even more angry.
Now he is very angry that the people he has promoted don’t speak to him, and even say to give him advice, as if he didn’t understand anything when he first arrived.
“Coal transportation needs good roads, and tourism also needs good roads. Even if other companies come over in the future, the road will still be used. Therefore, the waste of investment cannot be counted into this, and coal miners need to live. There is no need to let them live in the hotel in the future.
As for the padding of the river channel, after the river channel is wide, it will be different from now. In the past, the water overflowed because the channel was narrow. No?”
Liu Yan refuted, and looked at Tong Hui.
“Of course, of course.” Tong Hui was reluctant to tell the magistrate about this matter. He was just a yamen. Even if he said smallpox, the magistrate would not change his decision.
Liu Yan was a little more satisfied, and ordered: “Since you agree, you can find someone to start the preliminary excavation in the local area. You must ensure two meals a day, and wages must be paid on time every month.”
“Ah? You may not understand, but now the labor in our county is three meals a day, and the wages are paid once a day.” Tong Hui quickly reminded.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and nodded: “Sure, do as you said, you still have to manage breakfast here, you don’t follow the rules.”
“That’s not what you mean, my lord. The place you choose is far from your home. It’s impossible for people to run back and forth. People who work here need to build a simple house first.” Tong Hui explained.
Liu Yan was stunned, just thinking about other things and forgetting about the road, and said: “Okay, you can do it, remember to find more people.” After the
arrangement, he walked back with the yamen, passing by Lao Liushu Village At the same time, he saw the market came out and the boards on the bridge were being paved. After hesitating, he did not enter the village and chose to eat at the market, so as to listen to what the local people usually say.
He thinks that many people are not living well. Those who need to work, get up every morning to eat, then go to work in factories or workshops, eat at noon, work again in the afternoon, go home at night, eat and sleep, and go back and forth. repeated.
There is no difference between ten years and one year, and it is the same for a lifetime.
Aspiring people should be like themselves, always thinking about new things, and changing things through their own efforts, so as to live a life in vain.
“Old Zhang, this is the county magistrate of this county. Take out your skills and choose the good things. If the magistrate is not satisfied, you can’t give money.” man shouted.
Boxed lunches are usually served directly, but there are also cases where you don’t want to eat the cooked dishes, or you don’t want to eat the cooked dishes, so you order a single order.
The boss of the lunch box glanced at Liu Yan, nodded, and walked back while thinking about what to do.
Soon, two cold plates came up, and rice wine was cooked. Ginger slices, longan and jujube were added to it. It smelled… The taste depends on their own taste. Some people don’t like to drink this with other things. .
Liu Yan had suffered hardships in Bajiang, and he didn’t have high requirements for food, and he wanted to appear close to the people, so he smelled the wine and didn’t say anything, but began to listen to others.
There is a lot of movement in the market, and some people who are talking are willing to let others hear his opinions.
“Have you heard? The new county magistrate’s surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Yan.” Liu Yan had just started listening when he heard someone from across the table mention him. He immediately got serious and saw what the locals said. Own.
“I know, it’s from a small place, and I don’t know if it’s where the results were made, or if there is someone behind it. I hope he doesn’t make a mess with our Hongnong. Just messing around, I don’t agree.
” A voice came, rough and hoarse.
Liu Yan was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.
“Your hope is estimated to turn into disappointment. He is already working on it. He wants to double the current river width and make the water rise. When I came here this morning, I heard from the villagers that they must strengthen the tourism market. Let’s build
Hongnong into a major tourism county.”
“What? A major tourism county? Our Hongnong is an economic model for transit and processing, right? If we do tourism, what else can other industries use to support? The money in the county is There are many, on one hand more, on the other hand
less For the construction of the wharf, the warehouses at the wharf are becoming less and less, and there are fewer auxiliary tools for transportation. All the small bungalows nearby have to be demolished, people must be removed, roads will be paved, and more warehouses will be built
. I’m wrong. I think it is necessary to vigorously develop the characteristic breeding of meat. You think, there are many boats coming and going at the wharf every day, and there are correspondingly more people. There are also people who have migrated from other places. The demand is getting bigger and bigger. If you don’t engage in special breeding, where will it be shipped?
There are few local areas, and shipping elsewhere will increase the shipping cost, which will increase the price of the meat products we eat.
”
If you want me to say, the first thing to be solved is the real estate problem. Last time there was a flood, a construction was carried out, but obviously, with the increase of foreign population, the existing housing can no longer meet the requirements of population growth for living conditions. The best way is to expand the county area outwards.
”
“Look at each of you, you seem to be county magistrates, eat quickly, and go to work in the afternoon after eating, talking about these useless things all day long, can you control the magistrate?” Someone started pouring cold water on a large area. Let an ‘official’ who seems to be holding a lot of power, return to their own identity.
“I can’t say it yet? What if it’s not the county magistrate? What can the county magistrate do? I just don’t agree to invest the county’s money in tourism. Should I say it on the notice board first? When we oppose it together, the county magistrate will I have to let go
of the travel thing.”
“No, I went to the county town the day before yesterday, and the notice board was taken down. What beautiful things did you think about, do you think it was the past?”
“Why did you take it down? I doubt it. The new county magistrate wants to fill his own pockets, and has the motive of greed for the money in the county. I will go to see it in person tomorrow. If I don’t restore the bulletin board, I will go to the place where I send a telegram to report him. Check it out
with someone else.” The
hot dishes had already arrived, and Liu Yan, who hadn’t moved his chopsticks, listened to what the people at that table and the people at the other table were saying, and he felt hatred in his heart.
First, I hate that the people vetoed my plan, and second, I hate that someone threatens me, and I still want to send a telegram. The above will definitely send someone, but I don’t dare to stop it.
Of course, what I hate the most is the system of the bulletin board. What happened when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to Baoxin County has affected many places in the Tang Dynasty. All local officials who are a little ambitious must put up the bulletin board. stand up.
It is clearly written on the site how each money comes from, where it is spent, and what the development plan to be adopted requires.
Liu Yan believes that such practices have seriously slowed down the development of the locality and greatly interfered with the local officials. They often come up with good plans. Because of the joint rejection of the local people, the local officials had to make a new plan.
What do people know?
If the people knew it, what would officials do?
Let’s all be officials, so the people must not be allowed to point fingers at the officials. The most important thing the people should do is to be obedient and act according to the requirements of the officials. Isn’t the officials more capable than the people?
Can you hurt them?
Considering the difficulties that he will face, Liu Yan feels that the food and wine will become unpalatable, the meat will be fishy, and some will not be able to chew.
There are also wine bowls. No matter how you look at them, they look like they haven’t been washed. Have your oily hands been rubbed in them?
After hurriedly eating a few bites, Liu Yan couldn’t take it any longer. Feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, he put down his chopsticks and gestured with his eyes to the yamen who came after him.
Tong Hui was still winking, and when he saw the magistrate put down his chopsticks, he immediately asked, “Sir, are you ready to eat?”
Liu Yan nodded solemnly, and Tong Hui immediately instructed the other magistrates: “Don’t eat the vegetables, drink the wine first. Drop it, Lao Zhang, pack it up, and put the rice in, and we’ll eat together when we’re hungry.”
‘Pop, Liu Yan took out a piece of paper money and slapped it on the table: “Today’s meals don’t go into the county’s accounts, this official please No need to pack.”
“Sir, it’s a pity to throw it away.” Tong Hui couldn’t bear it, the dishes on the table hadn’t moved much.
Liu Yan glared at him: “It’s not that I’m throwing your money, this official has money, and there’s no need to greedy ink, go to the public to make money, hum!”
After speaking, he got up and left.
Tong Hui responded with a wink, and the yamen nodded, waiting for the county magistrate to sit in the car and leave. The yamen followed behind with the packaged food, but he couldn’t eat it on the road, for fear of being caught by the county. When Ling Jian waited to go back to get off work, a few people would get together again, order some wine, and continue to enjoy it.
At this moment, the other diners also know who is leaving. It turns out that the new county magistrate looks like this.
“Rich, hum! Can you be richer than Zhang Wang’s family? Xiaobei and the others came to eat here last time, and they threw away the chopsticks without saying a few times. It’s better to throw money directly when you have money, why throw food away. End Hey, the new county magistrate turned out to be such a person, we are in trouble for Hongnong.”
One person looked at the leaving county magistrate’s team and said to the people around him.
The people around nodded one after another. They could see that the new magistrate didn’t like to eat the food in the market, and even pretended not to pretend. Compared with Xiaobei and the others, it was far worse than Xiaobei. If the food is good, who can be in the whole Tang Dynasty? Catch up with the children of Zhang Wang’s family, but why can they eat it, and the food is still very clean.
It shows that what they think is different. Xiaobei and the others are using their actions to set an example for others, but this county magistrate is using this to prove that he is rich.
“Wait and see, it really doesn’t work, I really have to send a telegram, I can’t let him mess around in our Hongnong, if Xiao Bei had asked Liu Feifei a fifth-rank official, he is bigger than the county magistrate, and it’s a pity to hold him down. He
is a seventh-rank official, and although he doesn’t belong to the county, he can’t manage the county yamen.”
Another said.
Life is always lived with many people repeating their lives, just like Liu Yan thought, get up in the morning, and then do things according to the same rules every day. There is nothing new. If we say gains, it is the savings in the bank. There are more new clothes, and the house is more comfortable to live in.
The changes of ordinary people are always small, but they are always changing. As long as there are no problems with the policies of the imperial court, there will always be new things added to the lives of the common people.
A month has passed like this.
The bulletin board of Hongnong County was re-established. The income and expenses written on it were the same as before, and there was not much change. Of course, there was no text introduction on the development of tourism with money. It seems that the county magistrate does not want to engage in tourism. .
The common people naturally do not send telegrams, and still live their normal lives.
Only people in the county know that the county magistrate has never given up the idea of developing tourism, and he still pays for people to work there first.
The person in charge was Tong Hui. He found 100 people, who were strong and strong, and 10 people to help with the laundry and cooking.
Then these people started to work, digging river channels, but not the channel of the converging river that the magistrate of Liuyan requested, but the channels of some small tributaries above.
The widening should be widened, the deepening should be deepened, and the blocked areas should also be dredged. The dug sand should be transported to the flat ground for accumulation, and several sieves should be set up next to the sand and gravel, and the mud will be filtered out.
This part of the sand can be sold for money in the future, or used for building a house. Tong Hui is happy, and so are the people who work , get some snails or something to change the taste.
They knew what was going on. The county magistrate asked him to dig the river, and Tong Hui had to instruct others to do it, but he didn’t want to dig the main river, so he tidied up the small rivers of the various branches above. As for the magistrate, he came to see If so, then find other excuses.
They were grinding here, but the team of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan moved very fast. At noon, they finally crossed India, came to the seaside, and set up their tents, leaving only a small number of people to be vigilant, and the others. They all went to rest and did not eat.
After the rest until the evening, I got up to eat one by one. The bonfire dinner was held. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com was right by the sea, and all the roasted things were from the sea. .
The nine little guys are still leading the children in the tribe, teaching them how to eat the things in the sea, which parts are the best to eat, and under what circumstances what things should not be eaten to avoid poisoning.
“Finally I’m at the beach. When I meet a ship tomorrow, I can ask them to help send a message and mobilize more ships to come over. When I go back, I will stay in Luzhou for a few days to see what it is like now.”
Zhang Xiaobao He breathed a sigh of relief. After staying outside for such a long time, he also felt troubled. The team did not play a big role in the war.
“It’s better not to delay outside. If you enter Beijing earlier, you don’t know what the chaos will be in the country. The faster the development, the more unstable other aspects will be. You have to take a good look along the way and find a way to balance.” Wang Juan He was thinking about the consequences of Zhang Xiaobao’s national policy.
“That’s right, I’m mainly worried about officials. I don’t have the skills, but they have to come up with new plans under the banner of development. It’s easy to waste local fiscal revenue, and what’s even scarier is to trap farmers.” Zhang Xiaobao roasted When catching the fish, he said with Wang Juan.
