The next morning, Zhu Ping'an took more than a dozen county officials, as well as Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others to the flood shelter in the northern suburbs.

After a group of people and refugees in the flood shelter area in the northern suburbs had breakfast, Zhu Ping'an gathered everyone, stood on a high place, and used a homemade loudspeaker to announce to everyone the policy of cash-for-work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, I will begin to implement cash-for-work in Jingnan. What is cash-for-work, simply put, is ......"

Zhu Ping'an said a beginning, and the sound of a kind of people and refugees in the flood shelter area exploded.

"What? Did I hear me right? From now on, let us work, and don't give us food anymore?! ”

"Oh my God, this is not for us to live."

"The dog said, the county order is not a thing, a few days ago to reduce the amount for us, now simply don't even provide food, and keep saying that it is our parents official, I bah, he doesn't give us a way to live, and we are forced to die, rather than starve to death, it is better to rob his mother. I don't believe it, there are so many of us, they can stop ......"

For a time, the people and refugees below were furious, and they saw that the situation was about to get out of control.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, don't get excited, and listen to me. I no longer give soup porridge for free in Jingnan, but I will pay my salary. As long as you participate in the construction of the project organized by the county government, the county government will pay you a salary every day, and each person will pay no less than 20 wen per day. Work on the same day, settle on the same day, and never owe everyone even a penny! Later, the official documents for work relief will be posted all over the city, and the promises of the officials are all written in black and white, and they are also stamped with the big seal of the officials, and there is no lie, just like fighting the Japanese and defending the city at that time! If you violate your promise, you can take off the official document and go to the mansion to report me Zhu Ping'an to the mansion! ”

Zhu Ping'an stood on a high place, as if he was like a Dinghai God Needle, holding a megaphone and saying loudly to everyone.

"What? No porridge, but salary, not less than 20 wen per person per day?! That's 600 wen a month?! And this good thing?! I used to ask someone to find a relationship, and I finally found a job as a cook at Mr. Liu's house in the town, and I only gave me 400 yuan a month. ”

"Pay?! Are you sure? The county magistrate is really our parents, and we kowtow to the magistrate. ”

"Why do you still let us work, what kind of work, are you tired...... How nice it is to give soup porridge like before. ”

"I'm bah, Liu Laoxiao, you are really a lazy thing, how can there be a free lunch in the world, you still want to eat for nothing. How good it is to work and pay wages, no less than 20 wen per person per day. The family has saved up for a month, and the money to build a house has been settled, and if you work hard, your wife can also save it. ”

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, the people and refugees below were excited, no less than 20 yuan a day, or settled on the same day, that is, some people cheated and tried to coax, and they were also educated by the people around them.

With the endorsement of the original reward for the Japanese invaders, the people were convinced of the promise made by Zhu Ping'an.

Of course, there were concerns raised.

"The county magistrate, I have a lot of strength, and I can go to work for relief, but what about my mother-in-law and my cub?! My cub is only three years old, and he can't do anything except eat, drink, and play. ”

"That's it, Lord Zhixian, my father is seventy years old, why is he going to work?"

Everyone's worries were in Zhu Ping'an's consideration, and Zhu Ping'an comforted everyone, "You don't have to worry, these officials have all considered, the old and weak women and children can do light and capable work such as helping cooks, washing and sewing, collecting firewood and fetching water, and pay the same wages." Of course, children under the age of 10, people who are sick, and the elderly over 60 years old are exceptional, even if they do not participate in the construction of the project, they can eat for free. ”

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, the old and young women and children in the flood shelter area were also relieved, and the county magistrate thought about them.

"The county magistrate, my name is Huzi, I am eight years old this year, but I have strength, and I also want to work and receive wages."

A tiger-headed child was in front of him, not far from Zhu Ping'an, and he boldly stretched out his hand.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?" A woman was frightened when she saw her son talking boldly, lest he bump into Zhu Ping'an, so she quickly dragged him back, reprimanded him, and then hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Ping'an, "Lord Zhixian, I don't know ...... baby."

"This eldest sister please hurry up, although Ling Lang is young, he has the courage to take responsibility, it is too late for the official to praise, how can he be blamed." Zhu Ping'an gave a hand, asked the woman to get up, and said with a warm voice.

"Huzi, right, you have this self-motivation, very good. You and other children who want to participate in the cash-for-work program are okay, you can collect firewood and vegetables...... Do what you can, as long as you put your heart into it, you can still get paid. On top of that, you can also eat for free. ”

Then, Zhu Ping'an praised Huzi, making Huzi very proud in front of a group of friends.

Collecting firewood, picking vegetables, washing vegetables...... These small jobs are easy for children in this era, and they are often instructed by their parents to do these jobs at home, not tired, not heavy, no danger, not only free meals, but also receive wages, families with children are happy, which is an unexpected joy for them.

"Master Zhixian, what kind of work are you doing with cash-for-work? How long is it enough for us? ”

Someone asked with concern.

"The first category is public works that are related to everyone's public interest, such as building water conservancy facilities, repairing city walls, reclaiming wasteland, etc.; The second type is post-disaster reconstruction, which is to rebuild the homes of your fathers and villagers, build houses, and so on; The third category is anti-Japanese fortifications, such as watchtowers, fortresses, and so on...... There are a lot of projects, and there are old folks who have worked hard. Zhu Ping'an was on the high slope and briefly explained to everyone with a megaphone.

"What, to build a house for us, and to pay us wages? The county magistrate is really our parents. ”

"The county is really our Qingtian master. These projects are all for the sake of our long-term peace and stability in Jingnan. ”

"We are not afraid of hard work, but we are afraid that there is not enough work for us to do. The county lord quickly ordered, we have long wanted to move our muscles. ”

Everyone in the audience was excited, and their faces were full of energy, and they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and start work immediately.

Popular hearts are available.

Zhu Ping'an stood on the high slope, took the expressions of the people below into his eyes, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Of course, there are no rules, and the same is true for cash-for-work. The rules are very simple, 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, and if it is committed three times in a row, no matter who it is, no matter what the circumstances, it will be expelled and not used again. ”

In order to ensure the smooth progress of cash-for-work, Zhu Ping'an announced the rules of cash-for-work in public.

"Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job. If anyone dares to cheat and cheat, we will not spare him. ”

Everyone at the bottom expressed their positions.
