Those big families occupy a lot of fertile land in the county, and they can get rich just by collecting rent, if they still want to take this opportunity to exploit the people, then wait for their own evil consequences!

Zhang Minghua is good at rhetoric, and it is safest to leave this matter to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Don't worry, sir." Zhang Minghua gave up his hand.

As soon as the cash-for-work practice was introduced, it immediately caused heated discussions in the county and triggered a wave of opposition.

Large households are naturally reluctant to "fund the government" to clean up roads and farmland, which has always been what the government should do.

The victims felt that they were already very pitiful due to the disaster, and as a result, not only could they not receive relief materials, but they even had to sell their labor in exchange for that little ration! The young and middle-aged labor is fine, but if there are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people at home, it is very problematic to survive.

Those big families were unwilling to risk their lives, so they directly confronted the government, so they gathered many victims and promised various benefits to make trouble at the yamen.

The victims of the disaster were already forced to make a living, and at the instigation of the big households, they were even more excited.

As a result, compared with the last time I asked for relief, more people from the disaster gathered in front of the yamen to protest this time.

However, in their eyes, the magistrate, who has always loved the people like a son and is generous and benevolent, this time his style is extremely tough, he does not retreat at all, and he makes it clear that if he dares to continue to make trouble, he will be punished according to the law.

By what law?

Naturally, it is punished according to the law of mob rebellion!

Most of the victims were good civilians, and this time they came to besiege the yamen to make trouble, and they were also forced to survive, and they were indignant for a while, and when they saw that the magistrate really sent out the officials and guards, holding bright spears and big knives, they were all suppressed and extinguished at once.

Seeing that the victims were quiet, Liu Shi said loudly: "Now is the most difficult time for our Honghe County, and we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties. At this time, if we make trouble by ourselves, it will really kill ourselves! Of course, the county has other arrangements for the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no labor force -- each of them can go to the yamen every day to receive enough food for their own survival. However, if someone is lazy and wants to fish in troubled waters, this county will not tolerate it! ”

When Liu Zhi said this, the victims immediately talked about it.

After a long time, an ordinary young man in the crowd shouted: "Lord Zhixian is benevolent!" As long as we settle down in our families, build roads, build fields, and renovate private houses, we have nothing to say! We have sound limbs, some of us have all the strength, and we don't want to sit and eat and drink, and be such idle, faceless scoundrels! ”

The young man's inspiring cry immediately aroused the echo of many people around him, and everyone echoed: "Yes, we don't want to be scoundrels!" ”

Seeing this situation, Liu finally put his mind at ease, secretly thinking that Peng Jin was right, although Zhongzheng Geng Jie was one

It is a rare good character, but sometimes a little trick can be more effective.

For example, find someone to hide in the crowd and guide public opinion at the right time to help reassure the victims.

Liu Zhi was relieved, but the big families who were hiding elsewhere to watch were so hateful that they stomped their feet:

I really underestimated this group of disaster victims, who were so flattering and shameless before they died and died, blinded their money and food, a group of white-eyed wolves who couldn't be raised!

As a result of this incident, various disaster relief affairs in Honghe County have gradually been put on the right track, and the devastated situation after the disaster has gradually improved.

Just when Liu Shi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a rumor suddenly spread from Xiaoqingtan Witch Pilgrim, saying that the flood was caused by the thousand-year-old snake demon suppressed by him with mana who was unwilling to be bound, and his resentment was monstrous, and he broke free from the shackles for a while and made waves!

Now although the thousand-year-old snake demon was captured and suppressed by him with mana again at the bottom of the pool, its ferocity is difficult to change, and he is afraid that he will have to sacrifice blood food in time to completely avoid this disaster.

The people of Honghe County and the surrounding counties have always worshipped the witch as a god, and they have no doubt about his words, and when they heard the witch say this, they immediately became sad—they can't even support themselves now, so what can they do to support the thousand-year-old snake demon!

But if the sacrificial blood food is not offered in time, what if the witch lord can't suppress the ferocious thousand-year-old snake demon and let it come out to make waves again!

The people had no choice, so they begged Liu Shi.

Liu Shi was not in the county government at this time.

Zhang Minghua reassured the people that Liu Shi had already gotten the news one step ahead and tried to find a way to solve the problem.

Although the people were disappointed by this, they were slightly relieved to think that Liu Shi had already started to solve this matter.

And Liu Zhi was in the same place with Zhao Mo at this time, analyzing the reason why Wu Ji spread rumors at this time.

"A few days ago, I sent someone to Guanyin Mountain to spy on the situation, only to find that Guanyin Mountain collapsed in this flood, and it happened that this corner was the corner of the thieves' stockade. Perhaps, it was the lack of food for the thieves on the mountain, so they plundered the people's property openly through the mouth of the witch. Zhao Mo groaned.

Liu Shi nodded and said, "It may not be impossible." Perhaps, they want to take the opportunity to make the surrounding situation more turbulent, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to expand their territory and occupy the mountain. ”

Zhao Mo frowned, subconsciously pressed the saber on his waist, and said in a low voice: "If this is the case, then it will be a big trouble." ”

After a pause, Zhao Mo stood up, his eyebrows tightened, and said, "I'll go to the guard to mobilize troops, just in case." ”

Liu Shi also stood up and said, "Okay." Then I'll go back and find a way to appease the people first. ”

Zhao Mo nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you for the time being!" ”

"Lord Zhao rest assured!" Liu Zhi said solemnly.

Back at the county office, Liu Shi was listening to Zhang Minghua's report that the people had come to ask for help, and Zhang Daming reported at the door: "My lord, Mrs. is here." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he raised his hand to stop Zhang Minghua, who was surprised, with a solemn expression.

Peng Jin knows the general sense of proportion, unless there is something important, she will not disturb herself at such a critical time.

"Let Madame in." Liu Zhi commanded.

Zhang Daming was allowed to open the door and asked, "Madam, please." ”

Peng Jin bowed slightly to Zhang Daming and walked into the house quickly.

"Didn't bother you, did you?" Peng Jin asked with a smile.

Zhang Minghua bowed to Peng Jin and replied with a smile: "No." ”

Peng Jin returned the salute with a smile.

Liu Zhi treats Zhang Minghua as a close friend, and she naturally can't rely on her identity and treat each other lightly.

Of course, Zhang Minghua was respectful and humble, and did not stand to accept Peng Jin's return salute, but slightly sideways to avoid it.

"You're here now, but what's the matter?" Liu Shi opened his mouth and asked.
