Although Chen Yuansheng didn't care about it, he was still very careful in his heart. In this age when there are no antibiotics, any disease is dangerous.

After eating, two people were left on duty, and the rest were slept.

Chen Yuansheng took care of the wound and lay on the bed. Today's straws are much more comfortable than the previous days because they have been processed.

Boiled, dried, woven.

From the perspective of hygiene, comfort, etc., it is much better than before, and the only drawback is that it is too time-consuming and laborious to deal with it this way.

Chen Yuansheng was so tired today that he fell asleep before he lay down for half a minute.

When I woke up the next day, my whole body was a little sore, especially in my shoulders. Raising his hand and pinching his shoulder, he walked out of the house, looked up, the sun was already quite high, and he shouted to the villagers not far away, "Why didn't anyone call me?" ”

"Owner, we saw that you were too tired, so we didn't call you. Not only you, Erlang and Li Bo, have slept more today. Fengzi, who was arranging the firewood, said.

"Owner, this is the porridge cooked in the morning, you can eat some." The little fish on the side picked up the porridge that had been heated on the stove for a few hours and brought it to Chen Yuansheng.

Chen Yuansheng took the bowl, drank the porridge in a few clicks, and then asked, "Did you feed those people you caught last night?" ”

"Hey, it's porridge too. However, everyone didn't feed much, and Brother Futong said that they were full and it was time to think about running away. Fengzi answered.

Chen Yuansheng nodded, confirmed what each villager was doing, and then said, "Fengzi, you go and inform the others, after an hour, let everyone go back to the cottage to gather, bring a few people to accompany Futong to get those people up, let's take advantage of the hottest and bad time to work, hold a trial meeting, see what bad things they have done, deal with the most heinous crimes, kill people to pay for life, if the mistake is not big, labor reform."

Labor reform, first, let them think about it in their labor and reform themselves, and second, there is indeed a shortage of labor in cottages. ”

"Okay." After listening to Chen Yuansheng, Fengzi spread his feet and immediately ran to inform.

"Village, village owner!" Xiao Yu's voice became a little apprehensive again.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuansheng asked.

"Owner of the village, I think there is no shortage of people in the cottage at all, so let them go directly." Xiao Yu's two eyes stared at Chen Yuansheng's face tightly, as if Chen Yuansheng was a little opposed, and she was about to swallow her words.

Chen Yuansheng was amused by Xiaoyu's cautious image of a small wealth fan, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid that they will eat too much." ”

Xiao Yu didn't expect the owner of the village to say this, she was a little ashamed, lowered her head slightly and said, "Hmm." ”

"You little money fan, don't you just spend money." Chen Yuansheng knocked on Xiaoyu's head and said.

When Chen Yuansheng wanted to knock for the second time, Xiaoyu ran away, maybe Chen Yuansheng used too much strength and made her teary-eyed, she said far away, "Don't knock on the master, it's stupid to knock again." Also, Xiaoyu is not a money fan. Xiaoyu really thinks that there are enough people in the cottage, and there is no need for more. ”

"There aren't enough people." Chen Yuansheng shook his head, he stood on tiptoe, looked at the road down the mountain and said, "I want to build a road, if you want to get rich, build a road first." ”

"Build roads?" Xiao Yu tilted his head, looking very confused, "What does building a road have to do with getting rich?" Isn't it all the government and those good people who build roads, how can you still make money if you lose money? ”

"You don't understand," Chen Yuansheng explained to Xiao Yu, "We are at the junction of Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road, and Jiangnan West Road. But five years ago, a flood washed away the road, and fewer people came.

So, I think if we build the road, there will be more people coming and going, and more businessmen will come and go. We don't have to rob anymore, just set up a card to charge, ensure safety, and provide services. ”

"Oh...... Is that so......" Xiao Yu felt that what the owner of the village said seemed to be very reasonable, but she felt very complicated and confused.

"The owner of the village! People are coming! ~"Fengzi, who had eaten a full meal for a few days and had a lot of confidence, shouted from afar.

Chapter 1: Believe it or not

The tiger is in front, and Futong is pressed behind. The idlers who are threaded together by hemp rope are like grasshoppers that can't jump for a few days in autumn, like dry weeds at their feet, shrugging their heads and depressed.

Originally, more than a dozen people in the cottage sat in a shed that was not crowded at all, but after more than a dozen people were stuffed, it became crowded.

The little helper and the boss who are dealt with separately are now completely in two states.

After going through the stage of last night's enthusiasm and not being afraid of death, Xiao Bangxian became a little scared. The boss has changed from yesterday's trembling and weak heels to today's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

The villagers sat in a row, Chen Yuansheng sat in the front and the center, and he said to these idlers in the city, "Last night, you attacked our grain truck, but fortunately there were not too many casualties. I brought you here today to ask if you have done any bad things, and what bad things you have done.

Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting. Those who commit the most heinous crimes are naturally not exempt from death, and those who commit minor crimes and are excusable can be dealt with lightly.

I won't say more nonsense, let's start now. ”

Chen Yuansheng glanced at Futong, and Futong dragged the first idler to the clearing.

The idler was a little stunned, he didn't understand what was going on at first, but when Futong walked away, he found that it was him, and he panicked all of a sudden.

"Zhai ...... The owner of the village...... I'm a good person. According to the routine of being caught in the past, the stunned man immediately began to cry, "The owner of the village, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the small one, and there is a child waiting to be fed, you can let the little one go." ”

Chen Yuansheng looked at the stunned man's very exaggerated and contrived performance, with a handful of snot and tears, and did not smile, he said with a serious expression, "Tell me honestly, we will not wronged you." ”

The stunned man didn't speak, but other idlers shouted, "You guys are setting up a private court!" If you have the ability, you will send us to the yamen and let the county magistrate judge judge us! ”

"Sorry, we couldn't do it. If you think that there is a private court here, you can run out and go to the county government office yourself. Of course, the premise is to be able to run out first. Chen Yuansheng didn't follow the meaning of the idler, but patted the wooden gun beside him.

This person named Huan was stabbed with a wooden gun yesterday, and he saw Chen Yuansheng shoot a wooden gun, and his momentum fell to the bottom. Like a deflated balloon, he muttered, "There is no royal law left." ”

"Yes, but we've got the final say here." After Chen Yuansheng finished speaking, he slapped the wooden gun again.

The idler was choked and speechless.

The interrogation continued.

The atmosphere became more and more serious, and the stunned man gradually couldn't hold it anymore, and began to tell the mistakes he had made one by one.

"I, I stole five baked cakes from Wang Ji's baked cake shop, and robbed the honey of the children. …… Also, I robbed a few times with the boss......"

Except for robbery, it's basically a small thing, maybe a little bit bigger than a trivial matter.

Chen Yuansheng took a charcoal pen made of charcoal, recorded everything that the stunned man said on the stone, examined it and said, "It's not a big mistake, it's a year of labor reform." ”

"Next ......"

"I stole the Zhang family's chicken, the Li family's duck, and Zhao Si, who asked for food, grabbed the territory and kicked him...... Also, I have robbed a few times with the boss. ”

The second idler, who looked a little strong, looked very honest about his evil deeds.

"One year and three months of labor reform."

"Next ......"

"I, I haven't done anything bad, village master, you, just spare me. I'm the same as the two of them, I steal a chicken and touch a dog, and I don't dare to do anything like murder. ”

"Labor reform for one year."

One after another, one after another.

The people in front have all finished the trial, and the only ones left are the little gang and the boss.

"I peeked at Sister Yufeng taking a bath, robbed the money, and grabbed the big cake." The little helper said.

"Labor reform for one year."

In the end, it was the boss's turn.

The boss came to the center of the clearing, kept his mouth shut and did not say a word.

"Be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting." Chen Yuansheng knocked the charcoal in his hand on the stone and said.

An open space is an open space, and there is not even a shed. The scorching sun shone on the whole body, and no one would feel comfortable. The previous criminals spoke one by one, in addition to the deterrence of the wooden guns and Futong, there were also reasons, which were the sun in the sky and the scoop containing the cold well water that could be obtained after the interrogation.

"Why do you think I'm so unlucky? Yes? The boss spoke, "No matter what, I was also born in Xiucai's family, but in the second year of my birth, my grandfather Xiucai died." Then the family was separated, and my uncompetitive father, who didn't divide the field, didn't get the land, and he got a bunch of broken books. Even Xiucai didn't get admitted to the exam until he died.

By the time I was holding these books and trying to read them, the fire had burned my house. The few books in the collection were borrowed by the master book, and they were asked for it, and they were beaten up and thrown on the street.

Then, I became an idler. Don't look at them all calling me the boss, if I can't fill their stomachs, my boss is a fart.

No, I'm hungry, and I'm looking for something to eat. I went out of the city with you, and walked so far, and my mind waited for you to be tired, so I grabbed it and left.

Alas, how could I have thought that you were an iron plate, and Lao Tzu's feet were all swollen.

If you catch it, you will be caught, and if you want to kill, you must scrape and listen to it.

But you will interrogate us and make us tell us what we are guilty of. Those who have the ability to go to the city to be officials, scholars, and businessmen, they have done many bad things, and they can't finish it with baskets, and they can't cut off their heads a few times.

If you ask us what bad things we've done, we'll sneak up on the chickens and dogs, watch the widows take a bath, and at most grab guns from outsiders. What else can we do?

Step into someone else's territory a little bit, and be fed to the dog by the corpse in minutes.

Don't you believe me? Think I'm telling a lie? Think we're too honest?

Believe it or not, those who are not honest are long dead. ”

After the boss finished venting, he stopped talking.

Chen Yuansheng thought for a while, and finally said, "Labor reform for two years. ”

Chapter 2: Paths and Dreams

Chen Yuansheng copied the crimes of the idlers written on the stones on a piece of paper, in duplicate, and signed and signed them. Do all this well, and the next year or two of the idlers' lives will be spent in the labor of the cottage.

Chen Yuansheng knew that there must be something untrue in the stories of the idlers. However, they didn't make a big mistake after all, there is no need to get to the bottom of it, too much, if it makes them have the mentality of a fish dead and the net is broken, it will be bad.

It was not so hot, and Chen Yuansheng asked Futong to watch them go to the field to weed first. And he himself came to the edge of the field with Li Bo, an old field master.

"Soil, fertilizer, water, planting, density, protection, management, and work." Chen Yuansheng read it silently in his mind.

"Soil" refers to deep ploughing, soil improvement, soil census and land use planning.

"Fertilizer" refers to increasing fertilizer and applying fertilizer reasonably.

"Water" refers to the development of water conservancy and rational use of water.

"Species" refers to the cultivation, propagation and promotion of improved seeds.

"Dense" refers to reasonable dense planting.

"Protection" refers to plant protection and pest control.

"Management" refers to strengthening field management.

"Work" refers to tool reform.

"Uncle Li, what do you think should be done with this land?" Chen Yuansheng judged the farmland of the cottage according to these eight points, and the results were very unsatisfactory.

Li Bo squatted down, touched some dry leaves, and said in a hoarse voice, "How can I get it, it's not a drought." It is useless to water too little well water, but when the sun shines too much, the ground is white, and it is more difficult to grow things. ”

He looked up at the cloudless sky and continued, "We can only wait for a few rains to ease the drought." ”

Chen Yuansheng nodded, he didn't have the intention of blindly directing farming.

Although he knows a little theory, theory is theory, and reality is reality.

In the past, apart from planting some flowers and plants, he had planted other plants anywhere.

Therefore, we must be humble and down-to-earth. In the present situation, only theories that can be linked to reality and guide practice can be of greatest use.

This is also the reason why Chen Yuansheng has not talked about the system these days.

He wanted to talk less about doctrine and do more practical things.

He believes that if a good and positive environment is established, everyone can eat enough and everyone will have clothes to wear. In that world, there will be many fewer people who will choose to do bad things.

Like these idlers who are pulling weeds in the field, a few of them are willing to be idlers.

Some are reluctant to be tenant farmers of the local owner's family, and some are homeless.

But if there really is another way to live, why should they be idlers?

Chen Yuansheng felt that as long as he could establish a good environment, even if he was a ghost, he could become a human when he arrived here.

Why is it that in some places, no matter who goes, there are corrupt officials, and in other places, no matter who comes, they are honest, clean, and clean?

Chen Yuansheng felt that this was something worth thinking about.

Of course, all this is only the highest goal in his mind, and to achieve this, it is not possible to achieve it by reciting a few lines of compassionate poetry.

Discover productivity and create more wealth with less. This is how Chen Yuansheng achieved his highest goal.

Although agriculture is the most basic industry, the growth is really limited, and the cottage is surrounded by mountains, most of the area is red soil, and the slightly better land is concentrated in the hands of the landlords.

There is not enough water, the land is relatively barren, and if you want to use such land to accumulate wealth, you can only have a darker heart than the landlords who already exist now.

If the development of the secondary industry is to be developed, it will not be realistic in the near future.

Not to mention that the most basic coal and iron community doesn't know where to get it, even if there are several ready-made factories in the cottage, and there are no industrial workers, who will use it.

The final fate of those machines is probably to be dismantled, recycled, and forged.

Fortunately, the traffic location of the cottage is okay, according to Chen Yuansheng's conversation with the members of the cottage, as well as the understanding of the process. It was found that this was a relatively prosperous transportation line in the past.

If you can get the traffic here back to flowing and prosperous, it will be easier to accumulate wealth.

Chen Yuansheng envisioned that he would learn from the road repair model in his impression, establish toll card stations, ensure the smooth and safe roads, and provide services such as warehousing and rest.

But that's just what he envisions right now.

If it is really done, it will not be smooth sailing without resistance, but will be full of difficulties.

Because he has neither a strong background nor an existing vested interest group. Therefore, once transportation is restored and prosperity is restored, there will definitely be many forces to fight for.

The process will not be gentle, it will not be laughing and talking, but it will be very bloody and violent.

Therefore, Chen Yuansheng felt that he should expand his strength while building roads, so that after the transportation line was restored to prosperity, he would be able to protect everything and ensure that it would not be taken away by others.

Only in this way can we ensure that the follow-up plan can be realized.

However, it is already very difficult to achieve this.

According to his previous habits, Chen Yuansheng planned to do an investigation and make an investigation report. At the same time, it is also necessary to coordinate the existing personnel of the cottage, resume production, and implement specific affairs to the head, so that everyone has indicators on their heads, everyone has something to do, and everyone has something to do. Strictly supervise the progress, regularly audit the quality, leave no sequelae, no bottlenecks.

It is not easy to do everything, but things are man-made, the road is under your feet, and you must always move forward.
