Chapter 18: Slapping a swollen face and filling a fat man
People with real materials are full of dry goods if they pretend to be more than anything.
But if you slap a swollen face and become fat, nine times out of ten you can only pretend to be embarrassed - it is really such a thing as a swollen face and a fat man, you can fool others, but it is difficult to fool yourself.
For Zhang Ran and his entourage, this is the situation at present.
Don't look at the joy of a group of people shouting when passing by Shijia Village and other villages, it really seems that as soon as they arrived at Ma's house, everyone was shocked, and Ma Chengbang was scared and urinated, and he didn't dare to let go of the fart.
But what about the facts?
The fact is that everyone is full of grain, eggs, and oceans in their backs, in fact, there is a little bit of it at the top, and there is mud and sand at the bottom, and they put gold on their faces to fill the faΓ§ade.
Zhang Ran didn't care, after all, he came all the way, and he could bluff those villagers one by one, jumping and shouting that they wanted to participate in the Eighth Road, and there were countless villagers who wanted to become part of the base area of the Jindong detachment, which made him obviously feel that the future was bright and promising.
But the crux of the matter is that the villagers, who are tired and half dead with sand on their backs, are not happy!
"Captain Zhang, I said why don't we pour the sand? It's really exhausting to carry this thing on your back......"
"That's not good, there's a village ahead!"
"When we get to the front of the village, won't we just add sand to the back basket?"
"You have to sweat - these hundreds of pounds have been carried all the way, and they have only been carrying it for a short time, and they can sweat as much?"
Zhang Ran said eloquently: "If you are doing a show, then you have to do a full set, you are too lazy to fool yourself, how can you fool others?" β
The villagers were extremely dissatisfied and shouted: "You obviously don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" β
But no, a group of people are carrying a lot of backs, tired to death or alive, even Wang Lao, Wang Kai and others, from time to time to replace Lu Yan and a few of their weak women, except Zhang Ran, who walked with his hands behind his back along the way, which is called a chic - just like leading the inspection work in the countryside.
"What do you know? I am the supreme leader of our Jindong base area, and I must maintain my image! β
Zhang Ran refuted it sternly, and the villagers Wang Laogui and others pouted one after another, saying that if you want to be lazy, just say that you are lazy, and return the image - when you slept in Lu Yan's pigsty, when you helped Lu Yan's family plow the land for a few bowls of porridge, why didn't you see what image you said?
What kind of big-tailed wolf?
But no matter what the villagers thought and said, Zhang Ran was unmoved.
Among them, there is the factor of wanting to be lazy, but maintaining a relatively dignified image of a cadre is definitely an important factor for Zhang Ran to do this.
In the Analects, it is said that women and villains, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful, and this is also applicable to human relationships.
According to the experience summed up in poverty alleviation work for many years, Zhang Ran has long understood one point, that is, dealing with the people, scale, is very important!
If it's too high, it will definitely not work.
The common people will think that you are shaking your prestige with a shelf, what do you say, the common people hum haha on the surface, and maybe they will stumble on you behind your back.
If you really get together, it's even worse!
If you hook up with everyone and have a hippie smile with everyone, then you will have no prestige, and someone will bargain with you for whatever you do.
Only by keeping a proper distance, so that the people feel that they can be close to you, but also let them feel your authority at all times, is the way to deal with the people.
Therefore, no matter what the villagers said, Zhang Ran did not help carry things, and he also firmly demanded that the mud and sand in the back basket should be carried back to the village like this, but whenever someone wants to stumble, he will directly say that if he does not do what he says, he will deduct part of the food promised to everyone this time!
He wants to use today's events to let the villagers know what can be discussed with him and what is not negotiable, forming inertia!
The team went out at dawn and returned to the village exhausted until it was dark.
The people in the village were all worried about this day, and they waited at the head of the village early.
Seeing the team coming back with a big back and a small back, the villagers suddenly let out bursts of cheers - if the landlord of the fighting horse becomes a state, can the team still come back with so much grain on its back?
"Ma Chengbang, he also bullied and bullied you honest people, with our Eighth Route Army out of the horse, he dared not listen?"
In the face of the villagers' inquiries, Zhang Ranniu coaxed and said, let those villagers carry the grain directly into Lu Yan's house, and when distributing the grain, he did not forget to warn the people who carried the grain, if anyone leaked his mouth, the grain and eggs distributed today would be doubled back - he not only deceived the villages passing by all the way, he was ready to deceive even the villagers of Yanggou Village!
The villagers who didn't know the truth saw that Lu Yan, Wang Changtian and others had no one get ten catties of grain, and they were envious one by one, and asked Zhang Ran one after another: "Captain Zhang, when will we go out to fight other landlords again......
This Zhang Ran is not in a hurry, he came back all the way today, bluffed the surrounding people, and made an appointment three days later, let those villagers send representatives to come over for a meeting, and those who were willing to participate in the Eighth Route Army also came over to accept their choice.
The reason why it was agreed for three days is because these things have to be fermented to form a spark in the prairie fire.
If the general trend has not yet formed, it is easy to attract the joint suppression of Ma Chengbang and other landlord strata - it doesn't matter if you occupy one village, but all the villages follow you, how can people live?
When it comes to that, people don't want to take advantage of your fledgling wings to give you a pot end, and it is estimated that it will not be possible!
Now the strength of the team is not enough, if it really happens in this situation, the consequences are unpredictable.
After so many years of mass work, Zhang Ran has mastered this kind of fire a long time ago!
Although the matter of fighting other landlords should be slow, Zhang Ran does not plan to be idle.
Let the villagers calm down, Zhang Ran first pretended to summarize the experience of successfully fighting Ma Chengbang, a big landlord today, and said that the landlord who was able to fight Ma Chengbang this time was not only because of the credit of these people who went to Ma Chengbang's house, but also because of the silent support of each villager behind the scenes, and the credit was also great!
So, in the village, per head, one egg per person!
"Really?"
"Great, there's eggs to eat tonight......"
When the villagers heard this, they immediately smiled, especially the children such as the little dog, who were happy as if they were in the New Year, and the old man who was drooling said that if Zhang Ran had anything to do in the future, everyone would do their best to help, unequivocally.
"There's something to ask you to help!"
Zhang Ran, who had been waiting for this for a long time, smiled and said: "I'm a big man, it's really a bit inappropriate to live in Lu Yan's house, and our Jindong detachment has been established, and there is no place for independent office training, so it's really not like ......."
At the end of the day, it's about asking the villagers to help them build a house!
"That's no problem, as long as Captain Zhang takes care of the food!" The villagers enthusiastically said.
"Let everyone help build a house, as long as you take care of the food, why do you want to give eggs?"
When the villagers dispersed and the leadership team of the Jindong detachment held a meeting, Wang Changtian, Lu Yan and others said distressedly.
"Don't care about these little things, take a long-term view!"
Zhang Ran said with a smile, and said that at this stage, everything is difficult at the beginning, no need for small favors, firmly unite the villagers around him, what will happen in the future, these villagers will stand up to help?
Besides, just care about the rice, the villagers think that they are doing the work for you, you should, and when the time comes, you can't say anything.
But they took extra eggs, this eater has a soft mouth and short hands, are they embarrassed to work without effort?
These common people, saying that they are chicken thieves are chicken thieves better than anyone else, but they really make them feel that they owe anyone, then they are more simple than anyone else - with dozens of eggs can inspire the simple side of the villagers, why not Zhang Ran?
"The captain is worthy of being a book, and he has a lot of eyes!" Zhang Laogui, Wang Kai, and Wang Wenping said with a sneer on their faces.
Because they are the soldiers of the Eighth Road, they have not received food, but they can always follow Zhang Ran to eat and live in the future, and they will have money at the end of the month.
It's just that, Zhang Ran, who heard this, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "If you don't know how to shoot on the back, you will shoot less - what do you mean that you have read a lot of books?" What about scolding Lao Tzu? β
