Chapter 114: Rural Construction Work
After proposing, discussing, and deciding on it, Su Zedong also proposed to recruit more local residents or villagers who love horseback riding and archery, and hate the Mongols, to join the team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Of course, it is more unrealistic to recruit locals as auxiliaries or supplements into the ranks, after all, it is now an emergency at the border gates, and the best time for conscription has already passed, and if there are people with some ideas, they have already joined Zhang Shicheng's other troops.
But as long as there is still a possibility in theory, Su Zedong is still unwilling to give up the opportunity, and still chooses to increase food and logistics support, in order to recruit more talented people.
As for the second matter, arranging Zhao Youqian and Song Jiwen to be responsible for accumulating more grain to replenish the grain depot of Dongzhen Mansion in order to prepare for unexpected needs, Su Zedong still has his own ideas, which is mainly due to the fact that most of the places where they work are mainly rural.
Since a few months ago, Song Benwen proposed to go to the countryside to investigate, and the focus of his work began to be active in Niujia Village, Zhaojia Village and other places, and slowly, more than a dozen villages in the north of the city of Dongzhen Company were managed by Song Benwen.
After that, Zhao Youqian touched his heart again because of Wang Dagui's matter, so he also took the initiative to ask Su Zedong for help, saying that he was also a child who grew up in the countryside and wanted to do more things for the farmers.
Su Zedong knew that this was just an excuse for Zhao Youqian, because whether it was the current ghost army or the previous assassination team, most of the people in Juyitang started from rural farmers, and it was mainly Wang Dagui who really made Zhao Youqian want to join the rural construction.
It is estimated that he is still blaming himself for Wang Dagui's death, a very good person, very good to his family, and to a certain extent, not bad to the villagers, just such a lieutenant chief, saying that there is no more, and it is behind the ghost soldiers!
Zhao Youqian has always been obsessed with this, he thinks that his death should not have happened, it was his own mistake that caused this misfortune to happen, this is a life he owes to Wang Dagui, and it is also a life owed to his new daughter-in-law and two nephews who have just passed the door.
Although Zhao Youqian is a killer, he has asked himself in his heart, he has never killed a person who should not be killed, nor has he killed a person who sincerely treats the people, family, and brothers.
However, Wang Dagui's death was indeed inseparable from him, so he joined Su Zedong as a farmer in the construction of Niujia Village, Zhaojia Village and other villages in the north of the city.
Su Zedong considered that the rural development plan really needs more talents to follow up, and it is possible to have better results and a faster and more stable development process by increasing investment, so he did not expose the scar in Zhao Youqian's heart, and followed his will and let him go together.
Facts have proved that Su Zedong's decision was still relatively far-sighted, and soon after, he was promoted by Zhang Shicheng to the third envoy, in charge of the economy of Gaoyou City, and at the same time, he was also authorized to manage all the official land of Gaoyou City, which made money!
You must know that although Zhang Shicheng has not completely fulfilled the phrase "the whole world is not the king's land", as long as he owns two-thirds of the land, the rest of the land will be taken from the hands of the peasants in various forms or ways.
In any case, one-third of the land will either be expropriated by the government, or it will be forcibly "acquired" by local officials and magnates in various inhumane ways, and even under the strict land policy, the rich and powerful only need to wait for the limelight to pass before they can do a big job.
And being able to manage the land through the level of the imperial court, needless to say, those cronies of Zhang Shichang are not all thinking of colluding with Xiang Feng, an external force, to buy all the land and strengthen the exploitation of the peasants!
However, Su Zedong and Song Jiwen's ambition is not to make money, and Zhao Youqian's idea is to "atone for their sins", so even if they have a large area of land and a large number of cheap labor, they still do things with conscience.
In the first place, they paid the peasants every day, but there was no deduction from them.
Secondly, when the farmers were idle, Zhao Youqian also actively responded to the call of Su Zedong and his Dongzhen Company to strengthen the education of the ideological quality of the farmers and the training of professional talents;
In the end, even Su Zedong had to admit that Zhao Youqian was really not suitable for the work of fighting and killing, because he was more selfless than himself, more like a saint and a philanthropist.
Su Zedong only provided appropriate financial subsidies to urban residents and farmers in villages in difficulty on the premise of ensuring that he did not have to worry about food and clothing and did not owe his subordinates' wages, while Zhao Youqian was able to use his wages to help the suffering villagers and outsiders.
Su Zedong felt that this was quite fearless, but it was absolutely undesirable, because it was too much to gain and lose, people could not be doing good deeds all their lives, and once in a while, it was very likely that everyone would hate the doctor for a lifetime!
When that selfless person does something wrong, the people who have been helped by him may still remember him, but the vast majority of people will not accept him anymore, and they will form a connection with the good things that this person has done and the bad things he has done.
They will naturally associate the bad things that person has done with the good things he has done before, so that they think that this person is putting on a show, rather than really thinking about their interests and isolating him, or even holding grudges, so the gains outweigh the losses, so why hold back.
However, Su Zedong didn't want to remind Zhao Youqian of anything, which would reduce his enthusiasm for work, and would also cause unnecessary psychological pressure on him, and if he didn't get it right, it would lead to a split personality.
Therefore, in many cases, it is still necessary for a person to understand himself, and as a leader or an elder, when he finds that his signs and starting point have deviated, he must pull hard, and say a few words, and never think about preventing all his mistakes from happening!
Moreover, the family is doing quite well, I heard that he has made a lot of friends without worrying about food and clothing, and he has taken root at the grassroots level, which is still a good choice for Zhao Youqian's future work development and personality building.
As for the third thing, that is, to do a good job at the gate and patrol of Gaoyou City, it is naturally urgent, and let Xiao Qi'er come to assist and help Cheng Zeheng and Zhang Dexing share their worries, mainly considering that Xiang Feng and Wu Shicheng and others have not been at ease recently, and it is easy to have problems.
This is not groundless, there are problems and mistakes in the army materials guarded by Lin Yimu, which is a precursor to the uncontrollable trend of things, if you want to link the interest groups formed by Xiang Feng and Wu Shicheng and others, Lin Yimu's matter will definitely not be an individual case!
So now this person can't be arrested, it can only be a focused observation, but he has already missed once, so there is little chance of being reused.
And Su Zedong believes that the reason why this person continues to follow up is that the clues he has so far are really limited, and it is still necessary to follow up with Lin Yimu and investigate his life history and past records, people who have come and go, and reputation in the army.
