324 Cement Road
Not only that, but the rest of the Zheng clan members were also sitting, and the Zheng family members who participated in the bribery were punished for five days to one hour according to the severity of the punishment.
The so-called public punishment is to choose a place with the highest concentration of pedestrians, draw a circle, drive the punisher into the circle, and explain his guilt and review the matter in front of everyone.
The old men and young masters who used to be high in the sky now have to stand in front of everyone to review and introspect, so that they can feel the condemnation, contempt, and sympathy of the people, which is more uncomfortable than asking them to die.
But on the contrary, Xu Jiajun did not pick up a knife to ask for their lives, greed for life is the nature of human beings, and the people of the Zheng clan can only taste the taste of life worse than death in this alternative punishment.
Since then, the Zheng clan has never been able to raise their heads among the villagers, and even a three-year-old child can spit on the Zheng clan and scold: "Big villain!" ”
Master Liang, who heard the news, shuddered immediately, and at the same time was glad that because of his son's obstruction, he hadn't had time to implement the idea of bribery.
Otherwise...... Master Liang hurriedly shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.
Half a month passed in a flash, and it was the day when the grievance conference was held.
Early in the morning, before the sky was completely bright, the women in the church came to the gate of the Xu family and reminded Boya not to forget to take his father, Master Liang, into the city to attend the grievance meeting.
Master Liang originally thought that if he kept silent and tried to reduce his sense of existence and hide at home, these church women would be able to forget about themselves.
Now that everyone is coming to the door, I know that I can't avoid it, so I am calm.
However, unlike Master Liang's apprehension, Mrs. Liang is very much looking forward to entering the city today.
From time to time, the Son of God in the church would go to the city, and every time he returned, he would bring with him something new that was happening in the city.
For example, there is a convenience store in the city that sells everything, or there is a public bathhouse and public toilet in the city.
But this is not what Mrs. Liang is most interested in, what she wants to go to most is the new yamen.
I heard that many of her former sisters and wives are now helping the Xu family in the yamen, some are working as female account rooms, some are painters and female gentlemen, and the welfare benefits are excellent.
Mrs. Liang also wanted to join in, she was simply curious, wanting to know what kind of existence these ladies of the family were in the yamen.
You must know that such a thing as a woman entering the yamen has never happened before!
Yes, Mrs. Liang, who was thinking about the sisters of the tea party in the past, didn't notice the tragic appearance of her father-in-law, Mr. Liang, who resolutely went to death.
In fact, it's not that Mrs. Liang doesn't pay attention, it's just that her son has already told her that Master Liang's "crime" is far from death.
So Mrs. Liang thought, since she can't die, it's okay.
In the past half a month, she has followed her sisters in the church to learn Xu Jiajun's words, read Xu Jiajun's books, and saw all kinds of changes brought by Xu Jiajun.
This kind of atmosphere is very tempting for people at this time, especially Mrs. Liang, who is a woman and can still move freely in it.
No, there were other women of the Liang family, everyone was able to walk out of the gate of the second courtyard, to the front yard, out of the deep mansion, to the fields, to feel this vast world.
At this time, Mrs. Liang had completely forgotten that when Xu Jiajun asked them to walk out of the mansion, they looked like they were going to die or live.
Since he was going to hold a grievance meeting, and the object of criticism was still a landlord like himself, Master Liang didn't even dare to use the family's carriage, so he only asked his son to set up an open-top wooden ox cart and set off with his wives.
The ten villagers who were the representatives of the farmers in Liangjiazhuang also followed behind the cattle body.
The first month was almost over, the snow had already melted, the sky was clear, and although the clothes were thin, the ten delegates did not feel how cold they were, and as long as they thought that they could stand at the meeting as representatives of the villagers, their hearts were on fire.
"I heard from Shenzi that the cement road in the city has been built, and from Xujiazhuang to the county seat, the foot is faster, and now it only takes two quarters of an hour to walk."
Ten villager representatives talked about the changes in the city as they walked, and although they followed behind the ox cart, they deliberately kept their distance from Master Liang's family, as if they could prove that they were good citizens.
Master Liang originally wanted to say a few words to these ten old tenants, but they were embarrassed to speak with their attitude.
Later, he looked away, forget it, people are now pursuing political correctness, so he should not rush to harm others.
They were still talking about the concrete road, but they heard a little older say:
"Gongsun Wubao is the first cement road to be built, their road is now much easier than ours, I heard that Xu Jiajun's cement road is repaired quickly, and it is very stable to walk, and it is not invaded by wind and rain, and I don't know when it will be our turn."
The remaining young people immediately clenched their fists and cheered themselves up: "It's okay, it will definitely be our turn!" ”
"Alas, by the way, didn't you couple go with Secretary Xiaoliang to build the road before? Tell us about it, what does the cement road look like? A couple of young men asked, looking at a short, square-faced man.
Da Niu has always been shy, but the daughter-in-law beside him has a quick mouth, and immediately gestured and said:
"So wide, so long, so flat, the whole piece, paved up fast, this half moon day and day, a day can be paved more than a mile, from the county town to Gongsun's house Wubao that section of the road, is we paved together, six or seven days to pave!"
"So fast?" Everyone was amazed, and even Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang, who were sitting in the ox cart, were fascinated by it.
The woman smiled hey, waved her hand and said, "That's a fairy method, of course it's fast!" ”
"Oops! Look! The woman suddenly exclaimed, pointing ahead, looking as excited and excited as she had seen money.
"The concrete roads are all paved to us!" The woman shouted in surprise.
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw two Xu Jiajun, who were in charge of supervision, leading dozens of workers to be busy on the road.
Some of them carried wooden mallets to ram earth, some held a ball of wire to measure on the side of the road, some used wheelbarrows to push sacks of material, and some held buckets in their hands and were fetching water in the river not far from the roadside.
These people are doing their own work, seemingly busy and chaotic, but in fact they are in an orderly manner.
Among the people who worked, there were more than a dozen Liangjiazhuang villagers, and when they saw that their little Liang secretary Bo Ya was about to drag his landlord father into the city, they greeted him in a friendly manner.
Boya smiled and nodded, responding to everyone's enthusiasm.
