Chapter 34: Advice

Zhao Yu was quite familiar with Liu Wei, the county commander of Luyang County, and when he saw that Liu Wei allowed him to make suggestions, he immediately said what he thought in his heart.

"This morning, I carefully observed the refugees at the Zhengxiang site and found that there are big problems in terms of control. First, the management of refugees by the overseers is not in place; Secondly, the motivation of the refugees is not high, and there are many lazy behaviors......"

This question can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

In particular, the problem of laziness of refugees has been plaguing Liu Wei and the Luyang townspeople recently.

The idea of cash-for-work is very good, and Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang also thought very well before, thinking that this time he Luyang County was a disaster by refugees, perhaps this is an opportunity for Luyang County - after all, the arrival of refugees has made Luyang County get more cheap labor, if you can use these cheap labor to open up a river canal for the county, then Luyang County will completely get rid of the problem of drought.

Unexpectedly, the cruel reality soon slapped them in the face, and many refugees who joined the cash-for-work program did not contribute to their work, and were lazy and confused every day, so that ten days had passed since the start of the construction period, but the efficiency was simply outrageous.

If this continues, when will this Jinggong Canal be built?

Five years? Decade?

I'm afraid I won't be able to repair it for 20 years!

In desperation, Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang could only increase the number of overseers, but this led to a shortage of manpower, and even led to conflicts between overseers and migrant refugees.

Compared with the former, the latter is the biggest hidden danger, so that Liu Wei and the Luyang townspeople are walking on thin ice, and they don't dare to ask too much of those refugees, for fear of causing widespread dissatisfaction among the refugees and riots.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Yu pointing out the problem sharply, not to mention Liu Wei, even the good-faced Luyang townsman couldn't help but ask: "Yu'er, have you thought of a way?" ”

"Yes, father, if it doesn't solve the problem completely, it can be greatly relieved." Zhao Yu said more modestly.

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang and Liu Wei glanced at each other, and then asked, "Let's hear it." ”

Zhao Yu arched his hand, and said: "The refugees who work will be lazy, one of the reasons is that they lack a sense of identity and belonging to my Luyang County, I also carefully observed the young Zhuang of Zheng Township today, and the young Zhuang of Zheng Township are very hard-working, why?" Because the construction of this canal is closely related to them and Zheng Township, they know that the completion of this canal is very beneficial to their hometown, so they work very hard. But the refugees are different, they generally feel that this is just our Luyang County matter, and they have no vital interests, so there will not be many people willing to work hard. ”

"Lack of a sense of identity and belonging to my Luyang County?" Liu Wei stroked his beard and asked, "Then how to change?" ”

"Accept them." Zhao Yu Zhengse said: "Really accept them, set up a new township by the county government, settle these refugees, and let these refugees realize that my Luyang County can become their second hometown, since it is a second hometown, then the matter of repairing water canals in the county is in their own interest." ”

"This ......" Liu Wei and the Luyang townsman glanced at each other, frowned and said: "The second son's idea is good, but ...... There's a lot of issues involved......"

Of course, Zhao Yu knew that this move would involve many issues, such as the attitude of other townships in Luyang County.

In the era when two neighboring villages will have conflicts over water and land, and even cause two villagers to fight, don't expect the township of the same county to have a good relationship, the new township is simple to say, but it is very difficult to implement, such as where to set up, whether it will cause dissatisfaction in the local original villages and townships, these are all things that Liu Wei needs to consider as a county order, and it is not easy to make a decision.

So Zhao Yu arched his hand and said: "The kid just provides an idea, a suggestion, and a specific matter, and Liu Gong has to consider it carefully." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Wei nodded, raised his hand and said, "Liu has written it down, and the second son will continue." ”

"Yes. …… The second is the imperfection of the site jurisdiction system. I asked Zheng Luo, Zhang Ji and others, and they said that they need to monitor dozens or even nearly 100 refugees every day, and if they keep an eye on dozens or nearly 100 people every day, there will naturally be omissions, so individual refugees dare to take advantage of loopholes. ”

Seeing Liu Wei open his mouth to explain, Zhao Yu preemptively said: "I know that this is a problem caused by the lack of manpower, and my Luyang County currently lacks supervision manpower, I think, in this case, it is better to let the refugees supervise each other?" I think so, these refugees are under the jurisdiction of 'households', as little as four or five people, as many as eight or nine people, five households are one army, and there is a military chief, who is elected from among the refugees; two military chiefs are selected to serve as one of them; five tithes are tun, and there are two tun chiefs and tun deputies, and the people from our county serve as the tun chiefs, and as for the tun deputies, they are elected from among the refugees, and the tun chief is responsible for handing over to the county government, such as the instructions of the county government and Liu Gong's instructions, and the tun deputy is responsible for informing the people below these instructions and is responsible for implementing them. …… The tun chief supervises the tun deputy, the tun deputy supervises the chief, the chief supervises the chief of the five, and the chief supervises the five families under the chief, each performing his own duties, and the meritorious service is rewarded, and there is a law for everything, so that the county government has only one person, and can manage the work of dozens of people at least and nearly 100 people, and it is even easier than before, because he only needs to stare at the deputy tun. ”

After listening to Zhao Yu's words, Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang fell into deep thought.

In fact, Zhao Yu's method is not new, as early as hundreds of years ago, as early as the pre-Qin period, Qin Chu and other countries have begun to adopt this management method, the question is, are those refugees willing to accept it? Moreover, how can we ensure that these refugees do not shelter each other?

When the Marquis of Luyang unceremoniously asked these sharp questions to his son, Zhao Yu Zhengse replied: "Father, Liu Gong, I carefully observe those refugees today, I think that most of the refugees want to be stable, if it were not for the natural and man-made disasters in the area of Jingshui Wancheng, I believe they would not abandon their hometown and flee here, therefore, as long as they are not treated harshly, I believe that most of them will not oppose this kind of management." As for the question of whether it would lead to refugees sheltering each other, I suggest that a system of rewards and punishments should be set up so that these refugees can report each other. …… This report can be divided into two parts: first, if someone is lazy and is reported or reported, the person who reported it can get the food ration of the person who was reported on that day; Second, the other four households in the same household as the reported person were cut in half for the day. In this way, not only households in the same household will monitor each other, but refugees from different families and even different types will also monitor each other. ”

Liu Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "This method is good." Well, under such a system of rewards and punishments, the refugees who work will naturally supervise each other, and those who are cheating and playing tricks will not dare to be lazy anymore, after all, it is no longer a pair of eyes staring at him, but dozens or hundreds of pairs...... Good! Good! is worthy of the second son, the marquis, what do you think? ”

"Hmm......"

The townsman of Luyang glanced at his son a few times, and said a little vaguely: "It's okay, it's okay, it sounds really feasible." ”

"No matter how feasible it is, I can't help but go back immediately and ask all sites to adopt this management method." Liu Wei laughed, and then asked Zhao Yudao: "Second son, I don't know if there are any other suggestions?" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Gong Liu, since I have only been in Zhengxiang for one day, I don't see any other problems for the time being......

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "If Gong Liu allows me to make some changes to the site on Zheng Xiang's side according to my own ideas, maybe other sites can use Zheng Xiang as a basis to slowly make some changes." ”

Allow you to make some changes to the site as you see fit?

Isn't this a disguised demand for the management of the Zhengxiang site?

"This ......"

Liu Wei hesitated to glance at Township Chief Zheng who was sitting in the house, the reason was very simple, so the work site on Zheng Township's side had been entrusted to this Township Chief Zheng to manage before.

And Township Chief Zheng also heard some signs at this time, and his face was full of incredulity.

In fact, he was a little stupid, the second son of the Marquis of Luyang, a ten-year-old child, was able to talk eloquently in front of the county commander Liu Wei, pointing directly to the problems existing at the site.

Even, in the end, he actually asked Liu County Decree in disguise for the management of his Zheng Township site, which ......

Is this second son really only ten years old?

Township Chief Zheng looked at Zhao Yu incredulously.

At this time, after pondering for a while, Liu Wei turned his head and said to the Luyang townsman: "Townsman, why don't you and the second son go outside first?" ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang glanced at Liu Wei incredulously.

Of course, he understood that this was Liu Jian who wanted to get rid of him-mainly because he wanted to get rid of his son Zhao Yu, and as for the reason, it was nothing more than wanting to talk to Township Chief Zheng privately.

After all, talking to Township Chief Zheng about this issue in front of Zhao Yu really didn't give the latter face.

As for what to talk about, does it need to be asked?

Looking at each other, seeing Liu Wei's insistent attitude, the Luyang townsman nodded, got up and walked outside the house, and said, "Yu'er, go outside the house with your father." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yu got up in response and took Zhang Ji, Cao An, Jingnu and others to follow behind the Luyang Township Marquis.

Everyone left one after another, and only Liu Wei and Township Chief Zheng were left in the house.

After walking out of the house, the Marquis of Luyang took his hands behind his back and led his son aimlessly to the outside of the village, and asked seemingly casually: "How long have you been thinking about what you just said?" Did you come up with it today? What I'm saying is that the refugees should be supervised by each other. ”

"Yes...... bar. ”

Zhao Yu was a little weak-hearted, after all, strictly speaking, it was not he who came up with it at all, this solution was originally in his cognition, and in his memory, he just prescribed the right medicine after discovering the problem.

However, hearing his answer, the Marquis of Luyang suddenly stopped, looked back at him, his lips moved slightly, and then muttered two words in a low voice.

What he said, others didn't hear it clearly, but felt that the countryman's expression looked a little confused and a little hesitant, as if he had been hit by something.
