Chapter 258: The Benefits of Prestige
On the path at the foot of the mountain outside the one-hour road in Heishui County, Tian Yuanfang led Wang Ni and six other people.
Everyone pulled a cart together, and on the cart were shovels for digging and measuring, levels, ropes, gloves, crowbars and other props, as well as earth guns.
Tian Yuanfang walked next to the car, and the two young men who were in charge of pulling the car were the rest of the people.
Livestock was still a scarce commodity in this day and age, and although this was not the time to plough the land, there was a lot of livestock needed to pull carts in various places.
Wang Ni felt that his background was not good, and he was afraid of burdening Lord Wang, so he did not bring this up.
Tian Yuanfang, as the second-in-command of the current Environmental Sanitation Department, is also down-to-earth on the dirt road.
Just because the roads in the city are good, you can't affirm the roads in the countryside, in fact, the roads that can be run by bicycles are not necessarily the ones that horse-drawn carriages can run.
Horse-drawn carts may not be able to walk on roads, but rickshaw-drawn carts can.
The two men leaned forward like cattle on the left and right sides of the frame with rope straps, pulling the cart full of tools and weapons behind them.
Tian Yuanfang said: "The front is Tianjiazhai, if you have something to say, talk to the people inside, everyone will give you convenience, they are all your own people, but it's best not to run around at night, you can't see it when it's dark, in case you are shot as a thief, it's not good." ”
Wang Ni was a little scared and said, "Are there any bandits here?" ”
Tian Yuanfang is a little difficult to answer this question, if you want to talk about bandits, it is indeed a lot, but no matter what era, bandits will give face to the official master.
At least in the Great Unification Dynasty, for the most part.
In the case of the kind of place where there is no king, this is not the case.
"There are not so many, but there are often some petty outsiders in the township, and it is inevitable that they will start a little heavier."
In fact, it was killed.
Killing a few people is really not a thing in this day and age.
As long as it is reasonable, then it is reasonable.
Zhao Liyang can kill a maid under the pretext of missing the first emperor, and the villagers here use the word of a thief to kill a person who steals things, which is a very normal thing in itself, and the county will not take care of it.
Of course, you can manage it if you want to, but you can't always use troops to do such trivial things, the official is very busy.
Although the emperor has always emphasized strengthening his control over counties, towns and villages, this kind of thing is simply unrealistic.
In this era of low work efficiency, most officials can't even do the things in their hands well, let alone the trivial things in the countryside.
But the reverence of the rural squires and landlords for the imperial court is indeed killed, and there is no such person in the entire Heishui County who blatantly disobeys discipline.
This reverence is common throughout the country, and it is the majesty of a single sword.
Wang Ni is different from Wang Lanling, he used to have a lower status than Wang Lanling, and he had also done things like stealing chickens and dogs.
Because you're poor...... The family doesn't give pocket money, and is looked down upon by others, although it is not a second-rate person who wants to be a second-rate child, but he has done some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.
So when he heard Tian Yuanfang's words, Wang Ni said embarrassedly: "Then let's do things, don't walk around, fix the pool as soon as possible, and go back early." ”
Tian Yuanfang said: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone is a reasonable person." ”
The men walked for a while, and then went around a hill to the path between the two hills.
In front of it stands a building in the shape of the character "円", and the word "田村" is written in two spaces.
This is called the memorial arch, the front is engraved with the name of the village, the back pillar is engraved with the origin of the village, the two pillars of the horizontal plaque in the air are called the archway, and the archway with a separate two-layer brim hat is called the archway.
This is the village gate of Tianzhai, and after entering, it is the scope of the village.
Tian Yuanfang walked under the archway with people, and soon saw the villagers working in the nearby fields.
The villagers also noticed Tian Yuanfang's side, put the hoe on his shoulder, and stood in the field to look at this side.
Tian Yuanfang quickly greeted and shouted: "Third uncle, come here, this is someone from the Environmental Sanitation Department, who came to do things after listening to Lord Wang's words." ”
People in the villages know each other, especially in one village, even if they don't go home for a few years, they won't recognize those relatives.
Tian Yuanfang's third uncle came over, and when he heard that it was someone from the Environmental Sanitation Department, he said, "What are you here for?" ”
Tian Yuanfang explained: "Say it with the village chief, you'll know later, what are you doing?" ”
Although you can see it at a glance, the people here in Heishui County have a slow pace of life and are used to talking nonsense.
"Me, I see grass growing in the field, come out and clean up."
Tian Yuanfang said again: "What is planted in this field? ”
"Didn't plant anything, didn't you just harvest corn? I can't be idle in this field, it's too late to plant vegetables, and it's too tiring to plant wheat, my kid doesn't want to farm well after he comes back from the county, and I don't care about him. ”
Tian Yuanfang asked, "How is this year's harvest?" ”
……
The two talked for six or seven minutes, and then Tian Yuan said, "Then I'll go first, and I'll come back to see it." ”
The old man said: "Okay, your business is important, I'll ask your aunt to buy some wine when I go back, and let's drink two cups." ”
Tian Yuanfang quickly took Wang Ni and the others away, and after walking away, he said with emotion: "There are a lot of bad things in the township, I don't want to come back, that person, you can't pretend not to see him when you walk over, right?" You pretend you can't see him, and he calls you from behind, saying that you don't have him in your eyes, so you have to stop and talk to him. ”
Wang Ni thinks this is fine, but if he chooses, he must be in the county seat.
After entering the village, there are more people nearby.
Someone in the village recognized Wang Ni and the others, and heard that Wang Lanling sent someone over, so they all followed the village chief's house curiously.
People in the countryside, if you want to say busy, are really busy.
But if you want to talk about idleness, it is really to be idle.
Soon a lot of people gathered in the village chief's house, and the village head, who was also the patriarch of the Tian family, received these people in the courtyard.
Tian Yuanfang said: "Lord Wang said that there will be problems this winter, so let every family save more wood and firewood for the winter, and also sent someone to help our village build a biogas digester." ”
Tian Yuanfang pointed at Wang Ni and said, "This is Wang Ni, the brother of the fourth uncle of Lord Wang, who is from the Department of Environmental Sanitation like me." ”
When the village chief heard Tian Yuanfang's explanation, he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Wang said so, then there must be a problem, this thing must be repaired, how much does it cost?" ”
Wang Ni quickly said: "You don't need money, we will provide technology here, and we will also teach you how to make this biogas digester, you can take care of a meal, and then send some people to help with the work." ”
"This thing is repaired in the village, as long as you pour unwanted human and animal manure into it, add some straw and the like, you can use it for fire, and it is also clean and free of ash."
Tian Yuanfang added: "After this thing is repaired, it will be under the care of the village itself, Lord Wang just hopes that everyone can survive this cold winter, and also hopes that if our village is rich by then, we can give a little life to the people who don't have firewood nearby, and help them." ”
"It's like this in every village, they don't need money, and they teach you how to get this thing for free."
The village chief felt that this was inappropriate, and said, "How can I do this without money?" Tian Dan and his family went to the county to do business with others, and the object was also the girl in the city who Lord Wang helped find, and we were also down-to-earth with the money we borrowed last time, we will make up some money for each family, and you can take it back when the time comes. ”
Tian Yuanfang knew that the Environmental Sanitation Department was currently short of money, but considering Wang Lanling's usual words and deeds, he still said: "No, you can keep the good things in mind, Lord Wang is not doing business with you, you have to be clear, this matter is afraid that our village will suffer, everyone listen to these masters, and it is right to repair the biogas digester as soon as possible." ”
Wang Lanling has always been consciously cultivating cadres, whether it is asking cadres to patiently persuade others, or letting them watch themselves do things, learn their own way of thinking about dealing with problems, hold regular meetings to summarize, and let these people watch their performance in front of the people.
There are all kinds of people, and everyone is consciously and unconsciously learning Wang Lanling.
Tian Yuanfang was also in charge of the affairs of the Environmental Sanitation Department, and after helping to settle Wang Ni and these people, he went back.
Tianzhai Town is not a good place with simple folk customs, but a good reputation is really useful, under the reputation of Wang Lanling, these people directly reached a friendly relationship with Wang Ni and others.
If people from other departments send people over, it will be skeptical, and even more hostile and defensive.
Wang Lanling's prestige among most villagers in Heishui County is respect.
Wang Ni wanted to finish his work early and return to the city, and after knowing where he lived, he asked the young people in the village to choose a place together.
The place of the digester should not be too close to the residence, but it should not be too far away.
The place should be empty, and it should be the kind of place where there are no land disputes.
After the village chief spoke, many things became much simpler, and after discussing with each other, each family determined a vacant land for Wang Ni, and each family also sent some people to help with the work.
People in the village are curious about the biogas digester that can be used to make a fire.
Many people have seen a biogas digester in the labor camp, and they have also eaten the food and hot water cooked by the fire of the biogas digester, so they have no sense of resistance to this.
After the rustic rendering of young people and some domestic laborers, the people of the village naturally have no superstitious resistance to this kind of thing, and are very receptive.
Many parts of the world are superstitious, which is a normal thing and not surprising.
What's so strange about a world where geniuses and fools coexist, where science and ghosts coexist?
Wang Ni is not a fool, nor is he a genius, he is an ordinary person in this era, and he understands some chemical knowledge because of his family.
When repeatedly explaining the things to pay attention to this time to the people around him, an old farmer who couldn't understand after listening for a long time said with a smile: "Young man, do you have a daughter-in-law?" ”
Although I don't understand what Wang Ni is saying, some people already feel that Wang Ni is not an ordinary person.
Wang Ni said embarrassedly: "No." ”
An old lady who also didn't understand why manure could become biogas also said happily: "How old are you?" Why don't you have a daughter-in-law? Lord Wang has two daughters-in-law! ”
Serious business, listen to the clouds.
Gossip, chatting happily.
"Sixteen." Wang Ni is old-fashioned, and he used to be sloppy, and his skin is a little dark, so he looks very old.
Soon an old man said, "Why don't you have a daughter-in-law at the age of sixteen?" I have a girl at home, also sixteen, you and I go home and take a look, do you like it? ”
Marrying a daughter in the countryside is very casual, and the old man thinks it's pleasing to the eye.
The colleague next to Wang Ni said with a smile: "Let's take a look, Lord Wang is two years younger than you, and the baby is about to have a baby, what is the matter with you?" We'll do this here, so let's take a good look. ”
The people around him are all people who can do things, and they are basically the elites of the Wang family, who know more than Wang Ni.
Wang Ni can become the team leader, only because he was working for Wang Lanling some time ago, not because he is the most capable.
The uncles and uncles of the Wang family who are engaged in chemistry are actually talents, but they all need to be beaten before they can be used.
Now these people were beaten by Wang Lanling, and they knew that they had worked hard.
Wang Ni is also a man, and he quickly went to see it half-pushed.
This is not a ridiculous thing in this era, just like Wang Lanling, if he waits for someone else to send a woman over, most of them will be single for a lifetime.
Wang Ni came back after an hour, and when he came back, he couldn't sleep happily.
The next day, Wang Ni, whose love and career were booming, took dozens of people to pick up a hoe in the open space and began to dig a pit and repair the pond.
Tianzhai Town is just the beginning, and the nearby villages and towns soon learned about it in the small talk of the villagers.
The Department of Sanitation sent three guidance teams, but the construction speed of these three teams was obviously not enough to meet the needs of the villages and towns below, and they could eventually go to no more than ten places before winter came.
But the matter of this year's cold winter reserves has begun to spread rapidly to various towns and villages.
It is not only the villagers of each village who act as the disseminators of information, but also the messengers of the Department of Environmental Sanitation, as well as some barefoot doctors and wandering merchants.

Teaching Division's Library Room
Gong Yueman listened to the medical officer's report, nodded and said: "It's hard work, this year, the county order has started business, and the people in the officialdom have also opened shops, Qin Ruyi and Chen Youcai have bought a large number of firewood, fortunately, Wang Lanling knows about this, otherwise the consequences will be great." ”
Gong Yueman sighed, he also wanted to do more things, but many things were really involuntary, and the people above didn't listen to his advice at all.
If you do too much, you will be targeted.
Fortunately, with Wang Lanling here, he can contribute, otherwise just sending someone to inform those poor people to prepare more will be hated.
