Chapter 701 Visit

The beauty of spring in Jiangnan is enough to make a qiē character pale. When the carriage was galloping briskly on the road, Chen Zilong in the car was not in much of a good mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Chen Xie's trip to Liaodong came and went in a hurry, and it took less than two months to catch up with the spring in Jiangnan in March.

Today, I followed Chen Xie out to inspect the people's situation, and Chen Zilong took the initiative to ask for help. Since it was he who asked for it, Chen Xie agreed.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and when the door was opened, one of the guards said, "Mr. Wozko, the carriage cannot be taken on the road ahead, please get out of the carriage and walk." Chen Zilong got out of the car and took a look, a road branched off from the side of the road, extending to a village surrounded by greenery, in the fields on both sides of the road, rape flowers were blooming just right, and the golden sea was one by one.

Chen Xie had already gotten off in the car in front of him, standing on the side of the road looking at the road in front of him, waiting for Chen Zilong to come forward and speak.

"Cabinet, looking down at this road, it's enough for carriages to pass, why do you have to walk in?" Chen Zilong decided to strike at this hypocritical guy, and he didn't speak so politely. Chen Xie was not angry at all, Chen Zilong did this because he was panicked. The panic of the deepest values of the psyche being shaken. So I can only do this to hide my uneasiness.

Pointing to the far end of the road, several ox carts were moving slowly on the road, and the old farmer who was driving the cart walked leisurely, the whip in his hand flickered. The beauty of this scenery is enough to paint a picture. "See? In your eyes, this is a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, in my eyes, at this moment is the preparation period for spring ploughing, the rape is harvested to plant rice, and the old farmers are composting. This road can only take a carriage, and it is very reluctant. If I had to drive. The ox cart had to give way to me. It will delay the work of the farmer. ”

Chen Zilong made a contemplative gesture, and Chen Xie made up again: "This is the difference between me and you." With that, he strode forward, followed by three attendants, and the others waited on the side of the road. Chen Xie, dressed in casual clothes, walked along the road. Today's action is not a whim, in fact, Chen Xie is here to put on a show. But this thing is very hidden, and it doesn't mean too deliberately.

Behind Chen Xie, there was also Qian Wenda. This guy recently wrote a report asking the Office of Compulsory Education to allocate funds for the use of school uniforms for students. This report was transferred to Chen Xie, because of the compulsory education in Jiangnan. There was no such expense before. After Chen Xie saw the report, he called Qian Wenda and asked him why. Qian Wenda said that he would ask the cabinet to follow him to have a look.

"This village is called Wanghuni, and eighty percent of the people in the village are surnamed Wang. Over the years, the people in the village have lived a lot better, and they can always make ends meet all year round. Even in such villages. There are also some people who can't get by. "Qian Wenda now cares a lot about the errand in his hand, and he works very hard. Villages and towns of Songjiang Province. Basically, he ran it all over. This village is not far from Songjiang Prefecture, which is an hour's road. Supposedly, life in this place should not be too bad.

Qian Wenda led the way, and the group entered the village, and it was not difficult to see along the way that the people in this village lived quite well. When many people appeared, their mental outlook was also okay. Qian Wenda seemed to be very familiar with the people here, and after walking for a while, several people greeted him, constantly mentioning, "Have you come to see the Luo family?" You're a good person! ”

Chen Xie didn't speak, just had a smile on his face. Follow Qian Wenda to the door of a fence courtyard wall. Qian Wenda stood at the door and shouted: "Luo lame, are you at home?" Chen Xie's eyes fell on this small courtyard, and the ground was very clean, indicating that the mother-in-law at home was a diligent person. The house looked old, adobe with a thatched roof, and traces of new thatch could be seen in the middle. There was a tree in the yard with a little piglet tied to its trunk and sleeping in the mud pile under the tree.

The creak of the door opening sounded, and a man came out, with a dark complexion, and it was difficult to tell the exact age. Holding a tree branch as a crutch in his hand, when he saw Qian Wenda at the door, he smiled and said, "Oh, it's Master Qian who is here, you later." After speaking, he came out and opened the courtyard door, and when Chen Xie and the others came in, Qian Wenda talked to the man: "What are you busy at home?" How are you doing with your family? ”

"Hey, it's not thanks to you, I spent three days in the hospital to save this leg. The mother-in-law was worried about the work in the field, so she went back to her parents' house and told her brothers that she would help harvest the rape and plant the rice first. I can't afford to delay the solar terms, and I'm fed up with the hungry days at the end of the year. The man chattered, and Qian Wenda talked to him patiently.

"What about the dolls?" When the man heard this, he said with a look of shame: "I'm really sorry that you have left so much, and you have seen the things at home." Just two clothes, the dolls are staying in the house, it's not easy to come out to meet people. ”

"What do you mean by two clothes?" Chen Zilong looked at it from the side and felt that it was wrong, and subconsciously interjected. Qian Wenda glanced at him lightly and explained: "So that Mr. Wozi knows that the man's name is Luo Qi, and he is a foreign surname in this village." The family could have survived, but Layueli climbed on the roof to repair the leak, accidentally fell down, and broke his leg. The New Year's money saved is spent cleanly. That's it, Lang Zhong hasn't been cured yet. Later, I came down to visit, and after finding out, I sent people to the hospital in Songjiang Prefecture. The family didn't have a good New Year, and the money to buy clothes for their children during the New Year was also spent. No, I was worried about selling two small dolls, so I stopped them. Saying that, Qian Wenda looked at Chen Xie, that meant this.

Chen Xie nodded, turned around and said hello, a guard pushed a wheelbarrow in, and a grain bag and a package could be seen on the cart. The things were put down quickly, Chen Xie stepped forward with a smile and said to Luo Qi: "Because the family is sad and the children can't go to school, how many households are there in this village?" ”

Luo Qi is not a fool, when he saw that Chen Xie was a big man with a lot of background, and when he was panicked and didn't know how to deal with it, Chen Xie grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to see what the villagers have to say about compulsory education." ”

"Boss, hurry up and move a stool out." Luo San shouted, and a bare-bottomed child came out of the door, put down a stool, and ran back on straw sandals, looking very scared. Chen Xie was not polite, and sat down on the stool, Qian Wenda saw this, beckoned Luo Sanyi, sat down on the threshold and said: "Don't be afraid, this is the best official in the imperial court, and the doll's reading and literacy is his old man's Zhang Luo." If you have anything to say, just tell him. ”

Chen Xie took out the cigarette, scattered around, and after lighting the fire, he looked at Luo Qi with a smile. Probably because of the smile, Luo Qi was at a loss for a while, and he was not so nervous. After sitting down, he bowed his head and said: "If you go back to the old man, the little one's legs and feet are inconvenient, and the rude is tight." Chen Xie smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." You said what you wanted to say, just help me. ”

Luo Qi trembled at the fire handed by Qian Wenda, lit the cigarette, and his lips trembled for a while before he said: "In the past few years, the days have passed, and the wild vegetables are miscellaneous grains, but they are very subsistence." There are five dolls in the family, the eldest is twelve years old, and she grazes cattle for the Wang family in the village, so that she can save a bite to eat. It's really bad luck these years, the old mother has been sick in bed, and she has survived for ten years, but in the end she still didn't resist, and she left in the middle of the year before last. It's not to blame others, these young people can earn some money by doing odd jobs on the construction site, and there are a few leftovers in addition to the rations. No, I thought about buying a set of clothes for my mother-in-law and children in the family a year ago, but in the end, I didn't care about it, and things were still yellow. originally promised Mr. Qian to send his children to school,...... Ay! I feel ashamed, I really can't do it, otherwise who doesn't want to let the doll learn a few words and have a good livelihood in the future? ”

Qian Wenda added on the side: "Luo Qi is a filial son, in order to treat the old lady, the little family money is all involved. Nowadays, the people in Jiangnan say that their lives are much better, and that is also compared with before, no matter how hard they are, they can eat a few full meals. Adults can also have patched old clothes, and children are less than eleven or twelve, and they run around with bare buttocks. For this matter, at least thirty percent of the families in Songjiang Prefecture can't go to school. Even if it is compulsory education, the government will not be able to do anything about this situation. No, I had the courage to write such a report. ”

In front of everyone, Chen Xie put his face on his face, glared at Qian Wenda and said, "Doing things honestly, this is good." But you can't just think about setting aside money for all your children to buy school uniforms. Do you know how much silver is that? Forget about one household at a time, in the future, this matter will be promoted nationwide, do you think the household department can manage it, or the local government can manage it? Or let His Majesty out of the inner library? ”

Qian Wenda showed a look of shame, Luo Qixia's face turned white, Chen Xie looked calm, his face changed slightly, and he was not angry and arrogant. Chen Zilong originally wanted to speak, but as soon as Chen Xie said this, he knew that he couldn't say it. How many such families are there in the country? How many such children are there, compulsory education is very difficult, where can they still care about clothing and food?

"I don't mean to blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to worry about taking responsibility. It seems to me that an official who does things in a solid way is more useful than a million officials who are good at doing nothing. Even if you make a mistake, you make a mistake in doing things, which is more valuable than not being a good official. What I mean is that I hope that when you encounter similar things in the future, you should not rush to conclusions, but should calm down and think about it first, find a feasible solution, and then report it. For example, in this matter, the Luo family's situation is very special, so it should be treated specially. What about a similar situation? It should also be used as a standard to measure similar situations and come up with a solution. As soon as Chen Xie said this, Qian Wenda's face flushed, and he looked a little excited, and when he was about to speak, Chen Zilong coughed.

Chen Xie looked over, and Chen Zilong said, "Cabinet Department, how do you say to solve it?" (To be continued......)
