No way! Fake! It's all fake!

How can Jingnan be so birdsong and fragrant, and the years are quiet! It should be dark and full of corpses!

Taiping Zhixian couldn't accept all this, gritted his teeth and coughed, and said very heartily: "Ahem, Zhu Ping'an has invested so much money in order to coax ignorant refugees to come to Jingnan......"

Wang Meng, Peng Cheng and Zhang Wenbo nodded subconsciously when they heard this, they didn't believe it either, maybe they didn't want to believe the scene in front of them.

Xu Hai and Tan Lun looked at the scene in front of them with serious expressions and complicated expressions, and did not respond to Taiping Zhixian's words.

Zhang Gu glanced at Taiping Zhixian with slanted eyes, his eyes were full of sarcasm, as if he was looking at a fool.

In the mixed emotions of shock and suspicion, the group continued to move forward along the flat official road in Jingnan.

After walking for a mile or so, I saw a crowd gathered in front of a high platform, on which there was a person dressed as a soldier holding a strange trumpet-shaped iron sheet shouting, the voice was quite loud, and it spread far away, Xu Hai and they could hear it clearly from a distance of about 20 meters, and there were many errand servants under the high platform to maintain order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Jingnan organization is a work-for-relief, simply put, as long as you participate in the construction of our county government project, the county government will pay you wages, no less than 20 wen per person per day, and it will be paid in cash every day; Don't worry, the old and weak, women and children can also do some light work such as laundry and cooking, and the wages are the same; Children under the age of 10, the sick, and the elderly over 60 years old can eat for free every day even if they do not work, and if they do light work within their means, they can still receive their wages. Our project area provides three meals a day, breakfast is 1 yuan, lunch is 2 yuan, and dinner is 1 yuan. If you want to open a small stove, it's a little more expensive, and you can eat meat dishes with 2 more. ”

"At present, we are mainly engaged in six major projects, including the East Lake Project, the City Wall Project, the Anti-Japanese Fort Project, the River Dredging Project, the Reclamation Project, and the Home Reconstruction Project. After choosing, report to the following officer, and follow the officer to the corresponding flood shelter area for resettlement. ”

"Of course, when you come to Jingnan to participate in the cash-for-work program, you must abide by the rules. First, abide by discipline and listen to commands; Second, it is forbidden to cheat and cheat, once it is found that it is cheating and cheating, the salary will be deducted according to the situation, if it is committed three times in a row, no matter who it is, no matter what the circumstances, it will be expelled and will not be used again. Also, to the flood refuge area, to pay attention to hygiene, wash every day, change clothes regularly, convenient at the fixed point, no open defecation, you can not underestimate this hygiene, we have a lot of people in the flood refuge area, now the flood has not receded, if you do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to cause the plague, it is not a joke. ”

......

The officials on the high platform held iron trumpets and preached impatiently to the fleeing people.

Cash-for-work! Twenty wages a day! Abide by the rules and pay attention to hygiene......

All this is very fresh and thought-provoking for Xu Hai, Tan Lun and others, and the truth is infinite after tasting it.

Especially when they heard the talk about hygiene and prevention of plague, Xu Hai, Tan Lun and others couldn't help but glance at Taiping Zhixian. The resettlement area for the victims built in Taiping County is probably because of the neglect of this point, which led to the plague. In other words, the resettlement area for disaster victims in Taiping County will not be the flood shelter area of Zhu Ping'an, right? ! It's just that I can't even copy it, I draw a scoop according to the gourd, I only learned a fur, I didn't learn the essence, and as a result, I caused a plague! A project for the people turned out to be a project that harmed the people.

Taiping Zhixian was already weak-hearted, but at this moment, Xu Hai, Tan Lun and others saw it, and they couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem, since ancient times, food has been directly distributed to the people to show the grace of the imperial court, Zhu Ping'an actually forced the refugees to work, and they had to collect money for food, doesn't it show that our dynasty is indifferent and ruthless? ! Isn't this forcing the people to alienate themselves from my court?! ”

After Taiping Zhixian blushed, he spoke out against Zhu Ping'an's cash-for-work policy. As the initiator of the impeachment of Zhu Ping'an, he had no choice but to go all the way down the road of "Zhu Hei".

Xu Hai and others did not answer, even Wang Meng and others did not answer.

In fact, the work for relief is not the first of Zhu Ping'an's creation, "Yanzi Spring and Autumn" has a record of "Qi hunger Yanzi because of the battle of the road to help the people", the Song Dynasty Fan Zhongyan recruited workers to repair the temple, but also to work for relief. It's just that Zhu Ping'an's cash-for-work is a step up from the ancients, and it is epoch-making and groundbreaking in both scale and form.

Taiping Zhixian attacked Zhu Ping'an for implementing "work for relief", which seemed to be indifferent and ruthless to the imperial court, and his ass was too crooked.

Three miles further, you will see the hot East Lake Project Area. The reason why we know that it is the East Lake Project Area is because there is a tall flagpole erected in the project area, and a curtain hangs on the flagpole, and it is written "East Lake Work for Relief Project Area", which occupies a huge area, and you can't see the edge from afar, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least one or two hundred thousand miles, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 people digging in it, carrying soil, and transporting soil...... Although there are many people, the project area is not chaotic at all, and the organization and planning are orderly.

On the slope of the lake, there were five carriages at intervals of dozens of paces, and boxes of copper coins glittered in the sunlight on the carriages; There is a planned housing area in the lake area, where hundreds of women, children and children are preparing lunch, and the smell of rice wafts far away; Fifty or sixty thousand people, inspired by copper coins and food, rushed one by one, sweating like rain.

A huge man-made lake has begun to take shape, and the upper and lower lakes are faintly visible.

Everything is full of hope and everything is so vibrant!

Compared with other areas in Jingnan that have been ravaged by floods and are struggling and desperate, the contrast is stark, like heaven and hell.

Xu Hai and the others stood on the edge of the East Lake, looking at the hot scene in the East Lake, and were shocked.

"What is Zhu Ping'an doing digging such a big lake? He is wasting money and abusing people's power......"

Taiping Zhixian once again opened his mouth to attack Zhu Ping'an.

"Well, it makes sense, Zhu Ping'an's move is quite a waste of money and abuse of people's power." This time, Peng Cheng responded to Taiping Zhixian, glanced at Taiping Zhixian encouragingly, and nodded slightly.

Oh, that's just barely the point.

"Uncle, may I ask, what are you digging such a big lake?"

Tan Lun saw an old man passing by with a bundle on his back, and couldn't help but politely stop the old man and asked curiously.

"Hehe, you're from out of town. You ask what this bamboo pole lake does? The old man was a talkative, and after being stopped by Tan Lun, he put down the firewood on his back, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with a smile.

"My husband is really discerning. Hey, isn't this called East Lake? Why is my husband called Zhugan Lake? Tan Lun replied.

"Hehe, the official name of this lake is East Lake, but we all call it Zhugan Lake in private. The reason why we call him Zhugan Lake is because our county magistrate is on a bamboo pole, climbs over mountains and mountains, wades through rivers, and tramples on our Jingnan three or five times, only to find out the reason why we often have floods in Jingnan, it seems to be the terrain or something, and the little old man does not understand. Anyway, after the county magistrate figured out the cause of the flood, he chose this place and used bamboo poles as the boundary to circle the boundary of the East Lake, so we privately called it Bamboo Pole Lake. This bamboo pole lake can ensure that we Jingnan has no floods for a hundred years, when the river water rises sharply during the flood season, it will open the flood gate and discharge the flood into the lake, and store the floodwater; During dry periods, the water from the lake is returned to the river to irrigate the farmland...... Tell me if our county master is a god! We ordinary people all said that we would erect monuments, statues, and ancestral halls for our county lords, and be grateful to commemorate it. It's just that we don't agree with the county lord, we said in private, and when our county lord is promoted, we will set up a monument, statue, and build an ancestral hall for the county lord, not only we are grateful to commemorate, but our future generations should also remember the good of our county lord, and read the kindness of our county lord, and worship every year. ”

The old man's words were full of respect for Zhu Ping'an, and in his eyes, Zhu Ping'an was simply at the same level as a fairy.

"What?! Give him Zhu Ping'an a monument, a statue, and an ancestral hall? ! Thanksgiving and commemoration, worship every year?! ”

When Taiping Zhixian, Wang Meng and others heard this, they felt uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

Is there a mistake?! Zhu Ping'an colluded with grain merchants, raised grain prices, and accepted bribes, shouldn't he be spurned and cursed by you?! Why are you still thankful for the commemoration? Even have to erect monuments, statues, and ancestral halls for him?! Can't refuse?!
