The fire kang is something that has recently begun to be promoted in the county, just before the beginning of winter, the original conscription has just ended, and the people have just returned home, and then the county will send people to promote it.

Generally speaking, excluding Yunzhong County, it is estimated that other places may be perfunctory, especially in the townships below the county level.

The problem is not good this year, Zhang Fei took his troops to supervise everywhere, for this violent temper, the superintendent who beats people if he disagrees, even the strongest townspeople, he has to be obedient.

"No wonder no matter what game, Zhang Fei is a first-class talent in managing public security......" Looking at the news reported below, Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh. The side effect is not nothing, that is, the grievance documents of the three elders in each township have been improved.

"You didn't beat them, did you?" Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei, who had just come back.

"If you can beat it, you will do it a long time ago." Zhang Fei said angrily, "Relying on the old and selling the old, talking about the promotion of the fire kang, as a result, they can talk about the things they did when they were young for a long time, and they can only listen obediently......"

"Yide, have you ever thought about this?" Liu Tao thought for a while and said, "The three elders generally choose people who are older and respectable...... That's right, right? ”

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this.

"How long can the kind of person who comes from a poor background and knows the suffering of the people live?" Liu Tao asked rhetorically, "Especially this county." ”

Forty years old? Or fifty? Anyway, Liu Tao doesn't think he can live long, malnutrition and poor living conditions, and there are almost few people in ordinary families who live long.

"Then it's ...... to say," Zhang Fei thought for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded.

"Since there are few long-lived people in ordinary families, then the three elders, isn't it basically a monopoly of the squire?" Liu Tao further explained, "For such a family, there is definitely no shortage of materials for winter, and it doesn't matter if you want a kang or not." On the contrary, I have to spend time to promote it to the people below, and the prestige is still earned by me, so it's strange that they will cooperate! ”

If there are conspiracy theories, they still wish that the old people of ordinary families would not live long, so that they can always occupy the position of the third elders. After understanding the use of the ondol, a winter artifact, they will not cooperate.

"What should I do then?" Zhang Fei didn't have a problem, the people below didn't cooperate, so he couldn't point a knife at others, right? Everyone is like this, if something goes wrong and the reputation of the government spreads, it is estimated that it will be affected.

"The easiest way is to take over the part below the township and set up officials in the real sense. The three elders are only used as consultants, or they are only responsible for propaganda or cultural and educational work......" Liu Tao thought for a moment.

"Then set it up!" Zhang Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with it, anyway, he didn't want to look at the faces of those three elders.

"This is equivalent to restructuring, at present, our identity can't play this trick!" Liu Tao reminded, "You can only use some tricks, such as bypassing the three elders and directly carrying out propaganda." ”

"Bypass?" Zhang Fei seems to have grasped something.

"Since you are troublesome, then simply bypass them, how to publicize how to publicize, more than a dozen or twenty soldiers beat gongs and drums, and then make a few to let the people see and understand, confirm that it is really a good thing, others are not stupid, and they will naturally use it." Liu Tao spread his hands.

"Ha, my brother said earlier, you don't have to be so angry!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized.

"When you encounter something in the future, you can't always give you advice, right? Seeing that this official position is getting bigger and bigger, we must learn to solve problems by ourselves and avoid troubles...... Otherwise, how can I let you take charge of the affairs in the future? Liu Tao patiently explained.

"Foolish brother is taught......" Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then solemnly replied.

In another way, the promotion speed has naturally improved a lot. There are also disadvantages, that is, the three elders of the township, the three elders of the county and even the three elders of the county have come to complain about him one after another.

"One or two, relying on the old and selling the old ......" Liu Tao looked at these documents, quite disdainful, some nutritious words were fine, but the result was to complain that Zhang Fei did not respect them, and some people even asked to resign and threaten.

It's just that it's okay to make trouble like this, and it's not good to end up with the reputation of 'disrespecting the elderly'. I really had no choice, so I could only visit Lu Zhi and ask him for advice.

"The fire kang is indeed a good thing, you have to promote it comprehensively and support you for the teacher." When Lu Zhi heard this, he first commented on this policy. His family has also built a fire kang, although there is no thing yet, but it has actually been used, and it is found that this thing is indeed practical.

Especially Lu Zhi is getting older and older, and he is gradually paying attention to the aspect of health preservation.

After a pause, he continued: "But bypassing the three elders in this way is a little different. Not to mention that the three elders themselves are highly respected people in the township, and those who are over seventy years old and hold dove canes cannot be ignored. ”

"But if they don't cooperate, what can they do?" Liu Tao expressed helplessness.

"As people get older, the idea of utilitarianism is much weaker." Lu Zhi thought for a while, "In fact, they don't necessarily want any reputation, or how much benefit they bring to their family, but more to others to respect them and value them." ”

After a pause, he had already come to a conclusion at this time: "You sent Yide down, his appearance is a bit domineering, and his personality is a little anxious, which will inevitably make the three elders feel disrespectful to them." People are old, it's useless to be tough, you have to coax! ”

There are no old people in Liu Tao's family, after all, before the crossing, the older generation left when he was sensible. So how to get along with the old man, to be honest, he really doesn't understand.

Even when facing the three elders, the first thought is how to change the system, not how to think about how to face them.

"Now, what should I do?" Liu Tao humbly asked for advice, and when Lu Zhi said that, he seemed to feel that he was indeed a little too sensitive. The fact that this system has lasted into modern times means that it has a certain desirability.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the modern system may not be suitable for the people's conditions and social status quo of this era.

"Of course, you go there in person and apologize to them, and it's better to let Yide go over and pay for it. Coax them well and help them build the kang first...... Coax them well, and they will naturally help you. Lu Zhi replied.

After a pause, he added, "It's best to do it sooner before they lose their temper further." Otherwise, the third elder of the county will come to you with a dove cane to find you unlucky, and that will be the real trouble. ”

"Uh......" Liu Tao wants to complain even more at the moment, the Han Dynasty is actually true, really has the idea of respecting the elderly, directly improve the people's livelihood, and let the average life expectancy of the people be improved. I have to give the old birthday boy more power!

Let's just say that this dove cane, holding this, can even become the emperor's guest. The third elder of the county really wanted to whip him with a dove cane, but he couldn't fight back, after all, this dove cane is a symbol of status, but also a symbol of privilege - the privilege granted by the emperor, a symbol of the majesty of the emperor.

In other words, it is not much worse than Shang Fang's sword - at least it can definitely be hit casually. Seventy-year-old people, it will definitely not hurt too much to beat someone, the problem is embarrassing!
