"It's a bit inappropriate that we don't pay for disaster relief, but we only think of ourselves for welfare."

After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Nuo was still ready to refuse, firstly, he was just a preparer, and most of the money came from people from all walks of life in Shanghai, and it was really unreasonable to use everyone's money to benefit himself, and secondly, he was not prepared to have too much communication with these public people, which caused criticism behind his back.

Jiang Jiang Zuo didn't think so, and was still persuading: "Although the money is not from us, but the whole process is prepared by us, without us, this money can't be donated at all, even if you can donate, the amount will not be so large, you don't have a psychological burden." ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Even if it's a fictitious position, what can we do with this, let's put aside the specific salary first, and it's already a luxury to be able to pay it on time." Besides, in the end, it was really as we wished, and it made a lot of profits, so what do colleagues from all walks of life in Shanghai think of us, can we still have the face to go back? ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "But the problem is that our domestic society has been an official-based system since ancient times, and Mo said that the school built by Mr. Tao is the base built behind us, how can a white cloth make the local government serve the public?" ”

Cheng Nuo thought about Jiang Jiang Zuo's words carefully, which was not unreasonable, just the primary school he said that Mr. Tao Xingzhi organized, if the principal had an official status, it would be much easier to persuade the parents. Even if they meet the local gentry in the middle, if they are pressed by an official identity, they will not dare to act rashly.

After all, in this era, the strength of the local clans is still very stubborn, and if they are determined to fight with Cheng Nuo and them, it is really difficult to solve it.

And looking at Mr. Tao Xingzhi's meaning, just to build a school in the local area, obviously can not satisfy his appetite, that posture has the idea of doing a big job in the countryside, and even wants to use the local as a template for pilot, so as to carry out large-scale promotion in the future.

Cheng Nuo was silent for a while, and his attitude softened a little: "As far as I know, the public does not necessarily reward certain official positions, but to a greater extent, medals or commendation orders, real benefits, people may not be willing to give us." ”

As Cheng Nuo said, in order to encourage local gentlemen to carry out disaster relief, the Beiyang government specially promulgated the "Statute of Charity Relief Awards and Persuasion" to demonstrate the traditional virtue of benevolence. Anyone who donates more than 1,000 yuan in silver for charity relief shall be petitioned by the Ministry of the Interior to the President for praise.

For those less than $1,000, the magistrates of each district will award prizes according to five ranks, and will award silver medals of different grades. If you don't see the medal, you can also choose a real job, but at this time, a certain registration fee will be charged, and at this time, it basically has nothing to do with the amount of disaster relief.

Historically, when Yan Laoxi was in power, his father, Yan Shutang, a gentry of Wutai County, in order to brush his son's reputation, specially donated 110,000 yuan to help the local establishment when a natural disaster occurred in Shanxi.

Considering that his son was already in power, the local government did not give him a real position, but gave him awards and medals, and it didn't cost a lot of money anyway, so it was regarded as a pat on the back of Yan Laoxi.

Jiang Zuo didn't think about this problem, but because he was in a hurry, he didn't dig deeper, and now he was reminded by Cheng Nuo, and he really felt a little tricky.

"Zhiyuan, you're right, but my opinion is that you can try it or try it as much as possible."

Cheng Nuo frowned, thought for a while and said: "It seems that Xiong Xiling's Disaster Relief Supervision Office is just a fictitious position, in fact, it is at the same level as Cao Kun, a senior official in Zhili, if you really want to try sexual contact, you still have to give the other party enough respect." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "So, you agree with my proposal?" ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head and said seriously: "This is the fruit of the comrades' labor, I can't take all the credit on my head, and we will work together in the future." So my opinion is to contact in the name of the Academy of Sciences collectively to see what the specific effect is, after all, in the future, we still have to run schools, and we will also be subject to public control in name. ”

"In the name of the collective? That's good, you're already in the limelight right now, and being famous isn't necessarily a good thing, I'll go back and prepare well, and see when he's free, let's visit directly. Jiang Jiang Zuo followed this train of thought and continued, obviously having a preliminary plan in mind.

Cheng Nuo smiled and didn't rush to reply, although the idea is quite beautiful, but being able to get things in his hands is obviously another matter.

Sending Jiang Jiang Zuo away, Cheng Nuo came to the soup kitchen to inspect the disaster relief situation, but he didn't expect to meet Li Laosan's family here, who were wearing an apron in front of the stove and giving porridge to the victims in line.

Speaking of Cheng Nuo, he was in a hurry to go back to Beijing this time, and basically didn't communicate with them much when he got home, so he called them to go to Tianjin for disaster relief together.

"Lao Li, how is it, today's porridge looks good."

"Yo, sir, when did you come here, why didn't you wear anything on your face, isn't it that you didn't take your body seriously. the boy, bring that what, the one that Mr. Wu gave, hey, put this down, I'll let you get a new one, for Mr. to wear. ”

Seeing him coming, Li Laosan's face was first overjoyed, and then he saw that Cheng Nuo did not follow the epidemic prevention rules, his face was red with anxiety, and his words were a little inarticulate.

"It's a shame that you followed Mr. every day before, and you didn't even remind Mr. to be busy and forgot to wear something, but now I think about it." took out the mask from the box on the side, and Li Laosan's wife Xiuni counted him: "The package that was just opened, can I not know the old and the new, the old one is wearing on your face." ”

Listening to his wife's count, Li Laosan didn't hurry back, and happily handed the mask to Cheng Nuo: "Sir, you wear it, Mr. Wu said, now is the high incidence period of the epidemic, wearing a mask can prevent infection, why Mr. Wu has said it many times, but unfortunately I have a poor memory and can't remember it." ”

Speaking of the medical school led by Wu Liande, after coming to the disaster area, they directly started contact with the local hospital, and other places may not be able to control it temporarily, but everyone under the Academy of Sciences is required to wear masks to prevent infection after the disaster.

Cheng Nuo also had just come out of school, and the mask at this time was relatively basic, and it was very thick to wear, so it was very inconvenient to do manual work, so he simply removed it temporarily. It's just that I didn't expect that after work, I didn't know where it was when there were many people.

Seeing that Li Laosan brought a new one to him, Cheng Nuo took it, but he didn't put it on in a hurry.

"Lao Li, bring me a new bowl, I see that our corn porridge is very fragrant, and I will eat it here at noon today." Sandwiched the mask in the creaky nest, Cheng Nuo sat directly in the shed.

"Sir, this is not good, we have our own working meals, we don't need to eat this, besides, after you come back from Shanghai, the amount of food is amazing, and you can't eat enough to eat this, so let's listen to Lao Li's advice, let's eat something else." Li Laosan didn't follow, and persuaded him.

"I don't do physical work in the afternoon, it's okay to eat some thin food, just try my sister-in-law's craft, you don't have to persuade me anymore, give me a serving, you see there is a long queue in front of the pot, and I won't delay your work after finishing my share." Cheng Nuo simply took out a bowl by himself and handed it over with a smile.

Li Laosan couldn't persuade Cheng Nuo, so he had to give up, sighed and deliberately started to fish from the bottom of the pot, making it thick and handed over a bowl: "I know your temper, if you don't eat enough, I'll give it to you." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo had no choice but to take it, sit inside and start eating.

The victims who were queuing up saw this scene and began to talk about it.

"It's all people, why are we all porridge and a bowl of thick for that young man, it's so unfair, you don't treat us as human beings!"

"It's all people? People are different from us, they are the big shopkeepers of this place, and it is great to be able to eat and live with us, and besides, people eat a lot and do a lot, the last time they carried a stake, others were two people who partnered to get it, and he alone solved it, and you have to have this ability You also eat hard rice. ”

"Well said, it's good that we can eat porridge, look at the public porridge factory next door, if you want to drink porridge, it's best to have the intention of losing half of your teeth, the big shopkeeper can drink this porridge, and the porridge on the front can make people rest assured, you are still making trouble here, you want to make trouble next door!"

……

These days, everyone basically knows Cheng Nuo, the "big shopkeeper", "great benevolent", and "big man", and his nicknames are different, but they all know that Cheng Nuo is good for them in his heart. Now that he is an example, everyone is even more motivated.

As for some of the discordant sounds, this is also inevitable, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big.

Temporarily handing over the work in his hand to others, Li Laosan gave his wife Xiuni a look, asked her to quietly brand a few tortillas, and walked over with them.

"Sir, you can eat it while it's hot, it'll be hard after a while, and it will taste 'spicy' throat and eyes."

This time, Cheng Nuo did not refuse, with the pickles brought by Li Laosan from home, he ate it in a big gulp, and asked while eating: "How is it, during the days I went to Shanghai, did I continue to study and read with the gentlemen?" ”

Li Laosan was suddenly a little nervous: "Head...... The first began to know the words quickly, but the back was slow, and the back has been busy cleaning up the crops in the yard, so I didn't care about studying, and now there are only hundreds, and the words written are ugly. ”

At this time, Xiuni came over, and brought over two baked cakes, and teased in her mouth: "You are not ugly, it is the dancing of hemp shrimp, can it be written by people, it is a few small wooden sticks forcibly put together, not to mention how hard it is." ”

Li Laosan was not to be outdone: "Who said it, although it is ugly, it is definitely not a problem to recognize it, and if it is put in our hometown village, it can also be called Mr." Besides, I know a few words, and you may not be as good as me. ”

Xiuni was also unconvinced: "If you know how to read, why don't you let me learn?" To tell you the truth, I have also studied with Miss Wen for a while, and now I know no less words than you...... Can ......, what is the name of Mr.'s words? ”

"Ahem, women can hold up half the sky." The husband and wife were noisy, and Cheng Nuo didn't want to get involved more, so he made up the second half of the sentence in a low voice.

"Sir is right, women can hold up half the sky, don't believe we go home and compare." With the "assist" of this sentence, Xiuni's momentum immediately lifted, put down the cake and turned her head to leave.

From Cheng Nuo's point of view, Xiuni's sister-in-law is a tiger's back, she works a lot at home and abroad, and her arms are full of strength, and she can't get close to her body at all, no wonder Li Laosan's confidence is a little insufficient.

Seeing that his father was deflated, the two children next to him, Dog Egg Ni Dan, looked at each other, and they both covered their mouths and snickered.

Unexpectedly, he laughed too loudly, and when Li Laosan heard it, he immediately looked at it: "What do you see, is your homework finished, you know how to play every day, and you don't know how to help the family." ”

In front of outsiders, after all, he still has to give his father a little face, and the two children ran to his mother Xiuni to help with the porridge, but they couldn't stop laughing on their faces, and this criticism was obviously not taken to heart.

Li Laosan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and creaked: "This home, it's really getting more and more impossible to stay, I'll talk to Mr. Guo when I go back this time, and I'll sleep in the test field together." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "It's hard for me to say others, are you willing to leave your family at home?" It is said that the girl is the little padded jacket of the father, and you can't tolerate others in your eyes when you feel distressed. ”

Li Laosan was stunned, and then grinned and said: "My family can't do this, the padded jacket is leaking everywhere, it's better not to wear it." ”

Although he said this, he couldn't stop laughing on his face, and the folds were layer after layer, obviously betraying his true thoughts.

"This cake is still a little burnt and delicious." Cheng Nuo shook his head, ate all the cakes in one go, drank a sip of porridge and said smoothly: "Having said that, in addition to soup soup for our disaster relief this time, what is the effect of other means, I have been in school for the past few days, and I don't care about it." ”

Returning to business, Li Laosan carefully calculated: "According to the different degrees of disaster, every household is divided into extreme poverty and sub-poverty, and the population is also divided into large and small......

"What happened to the livestock? Slaughtered for the stomach? Cheng Nuo asked.

Li Laosan's face was embarrassed: "That's not it, it's just that they sold all the cattle and horses cheaply in order to find someone to eat, and there is no way to farm the land in the spring ploughing next year, and even the land is sold for a piece, and now there is nothing on him, so I Lao Li wants to fight for it and see if we can think of a way." ”

The more disaster years there are, the more they make a small group of people rich.

In order to survive, not only the means of production have been sold, but even the land has been sold, and now these victims are truly destitute.

Faced with such a situation, Cheng Nuo was also very difficult, and his personal strength could not reverse the situation at all.

He simply took advantage of this opportunity to decide: "In this way, we will take two steps, buy some horses, cattle and land at the market price, and plant the seeds of our own choice in the coming year."

On the other hand, we recruit some of the poorest people and train them in factories, and they will all be our workers in the future.

It just so happens that you Lao Li doesn't want to be a gentleman, after knowing so many words, the basic literacy will be handed over to you, but you must teach them well, and I want Xiuni's sister-in-law to take a good look. ”

Originally, when he heard that Cheng Nuo asked him to be a gentleman, Li Laosan leaned his back, and he was more surprised than worried, after all, this is "Mr.", he has lived for most of his life, and he can have such a day.

But in the second half of the sentence, when he raised his wife, Li Laosan immediately straightened his back.

"If you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, sir, you can rest assured!"
