Chapter Seventy-Six: Good and Evil (Part 1)
Wangjiagou Village planted the banner of Erdaohe Village, and also set up an oilcloth shed for Erdaohe Village, one by one, brushing in a row. There are as many as ten of them, and they are rooted in the uphill slope of Wangjiagou Village.
Just look at the fact that there is a cauldron in each oilcloth shed, there is grain, there are two rows of benches and rest areas, and there is a stack of wooden bowls.
Ropes were pulled up in the shed, on which were covered with all kinds of dry rags, dry firewood, and braziers.
At this time, there was mugwort burning in the brazier, and there was a gourd scoop in the bucket, and the people inside were busy, constantly passing torches out.
When it gets dark, the torches that come out of these sheds burn brighter and brighter than in other people's hands.
Zhao Dashan had a middle-aged subordinate named Shuangquan, he couldn't help it, stood outside the shed and asked loudly:
"You two rivers run to Wangjiagou to live? Why did you even bring mugwort seeds and water? ”
In the shed, Da Hongzi was cooking porridge for the men in Xiajiang, and he had to drink hot food when he came up in a while.
The people in their village had already thought about it, and they had to eat everywhere, so they collectively gathered food and went to Wangjiagou to cook. If you don't borrow the house of the Wangjiagou people, it's not that your own house even struggles to burn firewood for heating, let alone want to eat a hot meal after a day's work.
When Da Hongzi heard this, he didn't complain about these officials who had knives on their waists.
What are you afraid of? Their village is no longer in the past, there are people who know each other, and there are people on it.
It's the leader, she knows too well, that is Xianghua's eldest nephew, and she can also go up to the son and want to be with Xianghua's family.
So Da Hongzi also replied loudly: "This is not to prevent a major epidemic after the catastrophe, don't look at the rain stopping, I heard that it is more scary, isn't it?" Burning Ai made us feel at ease in our own shed. ”
And in the past two days, when I was going out to sell fish, I had exchanged a lot of good mugwort leaves picked before and after Qingming in various villages, and I was worried that it would be too close to Wangjiagou, and Wangjiagou would be infected once something happened.
As for the water, of course, it is more important to bring it yourself, Da Hongzi informed:
"Emma, adults, you can come down, the well water in this Wangjiagou can't be drunk, help them. The houses had manure tanks for fertilizing the land, and many of the thatched houses had collapsed. If you think about it, the feces and urine of livestock and poultry and the feces and urine of people are mixed with the river water that gushes up and goes into the well...... Tsk, we don't drink Erdaohe. ”
These words made all the officials stunned, and they all paused.
So what will they drink later?
The officials had a hunch that they would borrow something from Erdaohe Village later.
When they arrived at the dam, the officials were even more shocked.
Who said there was a shortage of people here?
It is crowded with people, and the torches are bright.
Wait until you take a closer look and listen...... Ah, no.
Because more than half of the strong laborers did not participate in the rescue, they only cared about catching fish, and they still shouted the trumpet, which made it a hot fire.
You say they're doing the right thing, right? Compared with Wangjiagou's miserable appearance, I always feel that I am crying on that side, and you are a little unkind when you are busy making money here.
But you want to say that people are doing something wrong, right? No matter what aspect the people had, they really didn't delay Wangjiagou's rescue.
And this team is particularly conspicuous and imposing.
Zhao Dashan observed the Erdaohe team, from fishing to transportation, and then to change a group of people to go down the river, and when Wangjiagou was about to block the hole where they were, the people of Erdaohe Village did not delay Wangjiagou to repair the dam, and would immediately evacuate with good training, go to the next embankment and continue fishing.
It can be seen that each process is synergistic.
Zhao Dashan stopped a fish picker from Erdao River and asked where Aunt Xu was.
The other party replied that the aunt was leading people to help Wangjiagou check the embankment point at night, and the water gushing points were all found by Erdaohe.
In other words, it can also be interpreted as his aunt leading people to find a fishing spot.
Zhao Dashan: "......"
And Zhao Dashan has heard that after every flood, more than 10,000 catties or even tens of thousands of catties of fish will be lost. It's gone.
Looking at the scene in front of me again, I don't know if I should be glad that Erdaohe will be able to live, after all, it is better to have less losses than if it is gone. The fish that were washed down from the town and the county, and all the fish that passed through this body of water were all blocked by Erdaohe Village downstream.
Zhao Dashan also had the illusion that he seemed to have seen a regular logistics army.
Even if the Huo family army is trained a little more, the strong men of Erdaohe Village can be pulled away, and it will not be a problem to be the head of the logistics team and transport grain and grass.
In other words, Zhao Dashan felt that he might not need to train, and he could be competent directly.
Wang Laoba heard that Zhao Zhutou had brought someone here, so he hurriedly ran to Zhao Dashan and complained: "Zhao Zhutou, I didn't talk nonsense in the governance center, right?" You saw them robbed with your own eyes, right? Run rampant in our village. This is not the same as robbing our village of money, our whole village hopes that you will give justice to the host. ”
It can be seen that Zhao Dashan came this time, not only to bring people to rescue.
Today, the town pavilion looked for him at noon, saying that the people of Erdaohe Village went to Wangjiagou to make trouble and fish.
When Zhenting talked to him, Zhao Dashan thought that it was just a small number of Erdaohe villagers who came to pick up fish while the water was coming, and it was nothing serious.
So when I entered the village just now, I was shocked that it was not a small part, it turned out that all the villagers of Erdaohe Village had come.
……
Zhao Dashan deliberately found a place where no one was around, and asked Liu Laozhu, who was accused, to talk to Aunt Xu.
Liu Laozhu's trouser legs were still rolled, and when he heard that he was accused, he said to Zhao Dashan angrily:
"Sue us? Their village should thank our eight generations of ancestors for knowing.
Zhao Zhutou, you should know, if there are many dead fish and dead livestock and livestock are not dealt with in time, after the flood, there will be a plague, and then one village after another.
Your aunt and I led the villagers to rob the fish in the heavy rain, and we were helping them, and one by one we lost our conscience.
What's the matter, if the fish are washed up and no one has time to fish, they will all die for two days, and let their village mix with feces to make a plague together?
The boys in our village, that is called using their bodies to help them block the cold flood and prevent the fish from dying, thinking that they can't lose so many fish for nothing, and they have to run to other counties for blind loss, so aren't they blind in vain?
I rushed over because of this, and I wanted to take advantage of the fish to catch it quickly, exchange it for a few full meals, and also exchange it for some fish for people from other villages to eat, so that everyone can eat cheap fish and meat during the New Year, which is also wrong?
Besides, if we don't fish now, it will run away in a big flood, and we will not be able to catch fish for many days after we live by the river. This river will be like a person is sick, and it has to be raised for a while, what do we eat and drink?! ”
The more Liu Laozhu spoke, the more angry he became, thinking:
The old thing in Zhenting didn't ask about it, and it was biased towards Wangjiagou.
Leaning, there is a time to eat melons.
Either that, the old thing in Zhenting wants benefits.
This is really when no one is trying to fish, they would rather let the fish stink and get the plague than let people get good or eat.
When the fish was caught and found that it was a good thing that could be exchanged for money, he began to blush again and began to talk about this truth and that rule.
Liu Laozhu looked disappointed, shook his head and said:
"Zhao Zhutou, rush at your aunt, I can say something to you.
I want to ask, just that Wang Li is not in the village at this time, and the people have not come back yet, has the town pavilion asked?
Zhenting does not hold Wang Lizheng accountable, so this charm does not conform to the principles and rules he preached?
He sat in the prison with a big belly, he didn't care about what he should do, he didn't care about the blind horn that shouldn't be managed, and he had the ability to toss us suffering people. ”
Today's Liu Laozhu can be regarded as completely aware of one thing, that is:
The bigger the official, the worse the villain.
It's only going to get more people.
Liu Laozhu was so angry that he squatted on the ground, "Do you know that there is no good official to call the shots, do you think there will be a good day today?!" ”
Zhao Dashan was speechless.
He found that in Liu Lizheng's body, there was no longer the sneakiness of the past.
Mrs. Xu took over: "As for the Wang Laoba's accusation against us for stealing pigs and beating people, that is not stealing, and the beating is not human. ”
Mrs. Xu started from how many men were injured in the village where the firewood was burned, and Wang Laoba took people to Erdaohe twice to make trouble, and should he be compensated.
handed the confession sheet written by Wang Laoba to Zhao Dashan.
It is not a secret to go to the villages, Mrs. Xu said that Wang Laoba bullied the daughter of the good family, because someone saw him running away from the sorghum field with his pants, and the girl's house was destroyed and turned around and hanged with a rope. The bullied girl's family is poor, and the Wang family is powerful, although the parents have come to the door to make trouble, but some immediate family members who have not separated from the family have lost their conscience and privately collected some money, and these relatives changed their minds and said that there was a misunderstanding.
This can be investigated, and there are more than one or two things, that is called how many years of rampant and domineering. Stealing chickens and touching dogs is not less.
"He's not a good thing."
Mrs. Xu knew that Zhao Dashan was under pressure, and the above were all bigger than his officials, and she had only been transferred back from outside for two months, and she didn't know the situation in each village.
She's just disappointed in the world:
"Dashan, you see, our village does catch a lot of fish.
But you don't know, among the 114 households in our village, there is not a single household that is braised or stewed, and those who are serious are willing to eat a meal.
It is such a poor villager who can live a life, who was pressed by Liu Lizheng and me, and was stunned that he did not take advantage of the chaos to take a chicken and a duck from Wangjiagou.
To put it mildly, why is there a war at the border of the imperial court? I didn't eat or drink to rob it, didn't I fight? Then why are there more rebels and mountain bandits in bad years? Those people couldn't control themselves when they were in a hurry.
But we are a group of ordinary people who can't read big characters, and they didn't take anything. Do you know how difficult it is to reason with people who don't have enough to eat and not steal other people's meat? But they controlled themselves.
Do you know what it's like to see those who do all kinds of evil living a good life, and let us who are poor and persuade ourselves to be kind? ”
"Aunt ......"
Mrs. Xu waved her hand to stop Zhao Dashan and listened to her.
She was suddenly also discouraged and wanted to tell two truths:
"If we are still sued like this, if we can be sued, then we will not have internal friction, this is what we say in our hearts.
I don't know if you understand what internal friction means?
That is to say, if I don't teach my family Tianxin to be good, it's not good anyway.
If you don't teach the children in our village to be good people, what are you doing with internal friction? is so aggrieved, there is no benefit at all, so it is better to let yourself live a good life and not talk about anything and do it with them. It's no wonder that those bad people can live a good life, just lose their conscience! ”
Liu Laozhu stood up with a swish: "My special mother will take the lead in stealing chickens." ”
"Hiccup, Liu Lizheng, aunt".
In fact, Dashan was also aggrieved when he heard it, "You have to believe that there are good officials, and there are bigger and better officials, there really are, don't be discouraged." Don't talk about it far away, auntie, I'll ask the ordinary villagers of Wangjiagou again, and get a few family certificates to prove that you have been using your body to help them block the river estuary, and I can call the shots for you in this matter. Not only can this fish be caught, but it will also be suggested ......"
Liu Laozhu suddenly said: "Then it is recommended that Zhenting award us advance fishing salt." "There are so many fish, they have long been unsalted, and every family is waiting.
