When discipline began to be maintained in the camp, Chai Tuo came in and said:

"My lord! Liu Fufeng asks to see him outside the camp! ”

Wang Lanling frowned, and said helplessly: "Okay, let him in." ”

Liu Fufeng would come over every day to ask for a meeting, but Wang Lanling had nothing to say about this person and did not summon him.

Things have to be solved after all, Wang Lanling packed up his things, and felt that he had been sitting for a long time recently, and his shoulders and neck were a little uncomfortable.

After going home in the evening, let Zhao Wenrou help press your shoulder.

When Wang Lanling was thinking about going home in the afternoon, Liu Fufeng also came to the place where he used to work again under the leadership of Chai Tuo.

I didn't think that after Liu Fufeng stood here again today, he felt that the atmosphere here was so unfamiliar, and he felt out of place here.

Looking at the young man sitting on the main seat, Liu Fufeng quickly shouted: "Liu Fufeng meets the adult!" The previous thing was that Fufeng was wrong, and Fufeng was willing to offer an apology, and please calm your anger! ”

"Don't do that." Wang Lanling said helplessly: "The eyes of the masses are bright, some things are wrong, if you admit it, can you change others' impression of you?" We also know each other, and I don't care about your faults, but I really can't do things for you by my side anymore. ”

Liu Fufeng's face showed a sad look.

Seeing this, Wang Lanling said: "You are also a capable person, since you can do a deputy position here with me, then you will naturally have a place to live elsewhere, this world is so big, where can you go?" ”

You can't go anywhere, or the pioneers will run back long ago!

Liu Fufeng said sadly: "My lord, where else can I go?" ”

Wang Lanling said: "In Yunshui County, there is not only one place in Heishui County, but also in Heishui County, and there are not three small counties below?" And I'm not driving you out of Blackwater County, it's your business to go to which adult you go to work for, you and I know each other as fate, although I don't need you myself, but I will never stop others, so that others don't need you. You can rest assured. ”

Liu Fufeng sighed, that's what he said, but now that the county knows that the imperial court does not allow the county order and the governor to appoint officials, this position will only be more tight, where will Liu Fufeng make a place.

Even if he goes to the following townships, at most he will be a bookkeeper, and this kind of treatment is something that Liu Fufeng is unwilling to accept.

Liu Fufeng quickly sorted out his mood, he understood that Wang Lanling was a person who said the same, but he also knew that since Wang Lanling said that he would not care about himself, then he would not be targeted by him.

"Dare to ask my lord, can my family still do something around adults in the future?"

Wang Lanling nodded, "If you have the ability, I am naturally welcome, this is all based on ability, I reuse you because you do have the ability, the previous things are done by one person, I will not be counted on your family." ”

Don't engage in plant connections, try not to die, this is Wang Lanling's bottom line.

He doesn't want to leave a mess for those who come after him, and when the time comes, he will fight to the point of life and death, and all his efforts will be in vain, and the number of people involved will only increase.

Of course, this is a fight, and there is absolutely no mercy on the enemy.

Liu Fufeng was much relieved, and said: "Liu Fugong and Liu Shoucheng ...... them"

Wang Lanling said directly: "They are not children, nor are they people who are implicated, they were the ones who made the choice at that time. I said before, I will pay back the money I owe you as soon as possible, if you can't open the pot at home, go directly to the door of the Water Affairs Department and the Sanitation Department to ask for money, and I will give you priority. ”

"Even if I can't open the pot at home, I won't let the people who borrowed my money starve, this is my bottom line!"

"Everyone is willing to believe in me, so they lend me food and money, and I will not live up to this trust."

The money borrowed this time was not much, that is, about 15,000, and the rest of the grain and vegetables were not worth much, and there were also ready-made relief food to pay off.

Fifteen thousand is a big number for many people, but for Wang Lanling, it is not a number that cannot be repaid.

The bulk is still repaid by the business of the Department of Environmental Sanitation and the Department of Water Affairs, but there are some small bits and pieces, and it doesn't matter if Wang Lanling pays out of his own pocket, anyway, this number is a number now.

After becoming an official, if you don't need to slap in with others and don't give gifts, there are not many places to spend money.

Liu Fufeng was unwilling to settle the arrears so early, he didn't plan to return the money when he borrowed it, but hoped that Wang Lanling would take care of him.

Now Wang Lanling has rejected it very definitely, and Liu Fufeng can be regarded as resigned to his fate.

"I still have one thing to worry about, may I ask my lord, who will take over the affairs of this water affairs department?"

Wang Lanling thought for a while and said: "This matter is not clear for the time being, because my affairs this year, and the disaster in Heishui County this year is not too serious, so the position of the director of the water affairs department in the future is mostly designated by the county." ”

Liu Fufeng said suspiciously: "Isn't it impossible for the county to appoint officials now?" ”

Wang Lanling smiled and didn't say anything.

Liu Fufeng felt as if he understood something, but he felt as if he didn't understand.

But one thing he can be sure of is that Wang Lanling must have a way to let others be officials!

"By the way, there's one more thing." Wang Lanling said casually: "If the Liu family has an unmarried girl, let it also participate in this party, young people always have to contact each other, the people who can participate in the party this time are all selected by me, whether it is character or ability, it can be regarded as okay, but this thing is not forced, whether it is from the city or from the countryside, they are treated equally." ”

Liu Fufeng agreed, he had heard about this a long time ago, the atmosphere of the empire was not restrictive, it was not a crime for women to talk to men, and many girls would help work in the shop at home.

With the preparation of the sorority and the reduction of tents on the side of the labor camp, the matter of water control is finally coming to an end.

The first to go are the middle-aged and the old men, these are actually the main force of water control, and they are also the people who work hard like scalpers.

Many of them have some skills, but most of them are illiterate, and they don't know how to speak and manage people, so it's okay to take them here, and after repairing a few buildings for Wang Lanling, they want to go home early.

Wang Lanling asked people to move tables and chairs at the gate of the camp, and distributed gifts to the old people who left one by one under the eight big characters.

When everyone went home, they were given a white black tea jar with a lid made by the craftsman's workshop, as well as an iron lunch box, a pack of rice flowers fried by a black iron popcorn machine, and a pair of new cloth shoes with white soles.

The tea jar and the iron lunch box are made by the craftsman department, and most of the craftsmen have nothing to do, Wang Lanling provided this order, and the money is of course from Wang Lanling.

Originally, the speed was not so fast, but at the request of Wang Lanling, An Dezhou and others found a way, and at Wang Lanling's suggestion, they developed a mold and steam forging method, modified a workshop, and made a high-pressure lathe to cut and stamping the iron plate.

Rice flower seeds are made with rice and saccharin in a popcorn machine, and people here don't like to eat rice, so Wang Lanling made some small gifts for these children's children as rewards.

However, the main purpose is to hope that more people will know about this popcorn machine, and also let a few specific people understand the operation principle of this thing, and will be responsible for promoting this product in the future, so it is the grain to practice.

Cloth shoes are the deep processing of traditional handicrafts, Wang Lanling found someone to make a mold, specially used to contain the sole, as for the stitching and upper of the shoe is handed over to the female worker.

The soles of cloth shoes are very important, people here walk a lot, and the mountain roads are rugged, so the shoes wear out very quickly, and many people come to work wearing straw sandals that can strangle the soles of their feet.

Wang Lanling uses a machine to beat twine, flour, and water into an elastic batter, and these batters are constantly beaten to make the soles of thousand-soled shoes, and finally crushed into a uniform style.

Although it is called a mille-feuille shoe, it is actually less than a centimeter thick.

Wang Lanling didn't expect that the soles of cloth shoes were made of noodles, and others couldn't imagine that they could make shoes so quickly.

"Grain or cloth shoes?"

Wang Lanling smiled and asked the peasant uncle in front of him, between the reward grain and cloth shoes given at the end, you can choose one.

The swarthy and thin man smiled with a smile that couldn't hide his yellow teeth, "I want shoes!" ”

"Okay, I'll give you shoes to wear when the county gathers later." Wang Lanling handed the new shoes wrapped in yellow paper to the man.

The man happily carried a lunch box and a tea jar, as well as a bag of rice flowers, tucked his new shoes under his arm, and walked out a little reluctantly.

When he was about to walk away, the man turned around and looked at the crowd behind him who was handing out rewards, and the eight words hanging high in the distance.

Although he was illiterate, he still knew those eight characters and could write.

All for one, one for all!!

***

In the calm few days, the 20,000 people gathered because of Wang Lanling's conscription order slowly dispersed.

The county people breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The prefectural order was finally relieved and drank with peace of mind.

The public toilets in Heishui County still have to queue up in the morning, noon and evening.

On the concrete floor in the north of Heishui County, people come to exercise every morning, run or practice boxing.

Oil trucks, silk trucks, and flour mills by the river operate every day.

The hot water room has also become a favorite place for some people to buy, buy a pot of hot water, bask in the sun and drink tea and sit for an afternoon.

Knife-cut noodles and ramen stalls made up of small carts and coal stoves also rose one by one, and the popcorn that bloomed with a roar and the excited shouts of children.
