Chapter 143 We Have Opinions

The autumn harvest in Songjiang County is already in full swing.

The grain drying field was finally completed before the autumn harvest.

The situation in each village is similar. Everyone has just finished working on the grain drying field, and they all gather around to discuss, reluctant to leave, and want to see what the grain drying field will look like after drying.

After so many years, I finally don't need to dry rice on the ground full of small sand and gravel, so I don't have to worry about it in the future.

Li Mo is currently in Zhangjiacun, and Zhangjiacun is the last one to finish.

Village head Zhang said that it is not good that their village is far away from the county seat. If there is any news, they are the last to know, and if there is any good news, they are the last to enjoy. The village has only just been completed.

Zhangjia Village was the last to drag. The most important thing was that the quicklime was not in place. It was pulled by truck after truck. With so many villages, the quantity required was not a small amount.

Quicklime is a dangerous thing, so Li Mo asked the yamen servants to guard it around the clock and not allow anyone to approach it, especially the children. If they accidentally get their eyes or something, it will ruin their life.

Li Mo called Village Chief Zhang to his front: "Cun Chief Zhang, the Yangu farm has been completed, remember to water every day, just like watering vegetables, otherwise, after frequent wind and sun, it will soon be watered. Cracked, short lived, waste of money."

Village head Zhang: "It needs to be watered every day. Isn't it possible that the rice can't be sun-dried? The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the villagers can't use it."

Li Mo sighed: "There is no way, it will affect two or three days. Here, I would like to say sorry to the villagers."

Village head Zhang hurriedly waved his hands: "My lord, you can't help it. The yamen can pay for repairs, which is already the greatest favor to us. Without you, this sun-drying field would not be able to be repaired at all."

Li Mo: "Let's talk about the ugly things first. The yamen paid for it, and you are responsible for maintaining it. If the grain drying yard is cracked or damaged, you will pay for the repairs yourself."

Many things are like this, as long as it is free, some people will not cherish it, and they will pay for the maintenance fee in the future, so they will use it carefully.

Seeing that all the villages had been completed, Li Mo settled his mind and thought about what to study next. The sugar cane season is not yet in season, so the sugar factory can only make preparations first.

However, God may not see that Li Mo is too idle, and always wants to trouble her. No, people in the county town have started to make trouble.

The reason for this is that the yamen contributed money to help the village build a sun-drying farm, and everyone has no objection to this. It is a good thing, and it shows that the county magistrate is a good person, and he only cares about the people.

But you can't be so partial, the villagers are your people, aren't we? Why do they benefit, but we don't get any benefits? Even if such a thing goes to the sky, it can't be justified. This is discrimination.

You helped them build the grain drying yard, can you help us build roads or something?

What's more, every time there is a good thing in the yamen, the people in the village will get the benefits. For example, if the yamen buys cattle, the villagers can pay on credit, and if they buy seeds, the villagers can also buy on credit, etc. One pile after another, all tell of eccentricity.

They are their own, and we picked them up?
Why, there are so many preferential policies, none of which are given to us urbanites.

Originally, only one or two people complained, and then those big ladies heard it. Thinking about it, it’s the same thing. Why do people in the village get benefits, but we don’t enjoy them at all.

So everyone got together, and you said what you said, and the more you talked, the more angry you felt, it was so unfair.

There were only one or two people, and they would never dare to look for Li Mo, unless they had the guts of a bear.

But this time it can be said that everyone responded, even if someone in the family worked in the yamen, they would make trouble together, and everyone would make money together.

Those who work in the yamen came home at night, and when they heard their family members say that the county magistrate was not doing things properly, they were so frightened that they hurriedly persuaded them to help, my mother, what is going on with you, the county magistrate found out, I Do you want to do this job again?

However, there are not many who can listen to persuasion, and most of them follow the wind.

Of course, there are also those who do not follow suit, such as Song Min's family, Shi Ye's family, Yang Danni's family, Lin Ling's family, Liu Fang's family, etc., but these are a minority after all.

If you have an opinion, you must raise it.

Who will mention it?Who dares to mention it?There must be a representative.

Don't be afraid, there are many enthusiastic people, and free labor is bound to seek justice for everyone.

Back then in the teahouse, the group of people who were taught by Li Mo had no skills, but they could write and speak well, and they had studied in Yuanming private school for several years.

At the beginning, no matter how hard they took the exam, they couldn't pass the exam in Songjiang County, but now it's finally time for them to show their strengths. They are the embodiment of justice.

Fan Hong, a so-called elegant man in his early twenties, brought together this group of talented people who had dreams but no achievements.

Fan Hong cleared his throat: "I think everyone has heard that people in the county are very dissatisfied with the yamen's actions during this period. We must stand up and take the lead, and make everyone's request clear to the county magistrate."

"Fan Hong, just tell us what we should do." An impatient person said directly.

Fan Hong: "We should write a petition, and all those who are dissatisfied with the county government should sign on it, and those who can't write can directly press their fingerprints."

Some people disagreed: "Will the county magistrate take it out on us? I dare not do this."

I was beaten half to death in the teahouse back then, and now I still have lingering fears in retrospect.

Fan Hong gave him a reassurance: "The so-called law does not blame the public, how will he punish so many people, everyone is unarmed civilians, there is nothing wrong with it."

"What Fan Hong said makes sense, so let's do it."

So, a group of enthusiastic people commented on the various policies that benefit the people that Li Mo has made since he took office.

In the end, there was a lot of criticism, saying that the county government only pays attention to the development of the countryside, but it does not devote itself to the county.

Between the lines is full of dissatisfaction with Li Mo, if I don't know, I think Li Mo has done something heinous and bad.

The next step is to find someone to sign and press the fingerprint, but it is welcomed by everyone, which makes these talents shine.

It was very late when Li Mo returned to the yamen, the master did not come home, and had been waiting for Li Mo to come back.

Li Mo looked at the people gathered in the yamen who refused to go home, and was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong with everyone? Don't you all need to go home and sleep?"

Those who work in the yamen, when they come home and find out that their family members have objections to the county magistrate's actions, they are so frightened that they quickly dissuade them, let's rest their minds, I want to work for a few more years.

Regardless of whether the family members can hear it or not, they still have to run back to the Yamen to tell Li Mo.

The master had a sad face: "My lord, it's not good. People in the county are going to jointly sign a letter, saying that they are asking you to treat them fairly and treat them equally."

Li Mo obviously crashed for a few minutes. I have done something rebellious, and even signed a letter.

Li Mo took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "What did I do wrong, let me tell you."

The master told all the things he knew: "Let's not talk about it, let's just say that every village has a sun-drying farm this time, and it costs all the money of the yamen, and the people in the village benefit from it. The people in the yamen don't enjoy the benefits of the yamen at all."

Li Mo raised her eyebrows: "Oh, such a big opinion."

Liu Fang was filled with indignation: "My lord, there are even more angry ones. They also said that you can only do superficial kung fu."

What superficial tricks, why didn't she know?
Li Mo signaled Liu Fang to continue.

"My lord, they say that it's useless for you to do those things all day long. What's the use of tidying up the streets? It's better to have two more guests."

Liu Li blushed with anger: "My lord, they say that Songjiang County School is useless at all, and the students taught by the Yuanming Private School in the past spent so much money, they are worthless, so it is better to share the money for running the school with everyone. "

"grown ups...."

There are different opinions, and it is simply a crusade against Li Mo.

Finally, everyone finished talking.

Li Mo rubbed his smooth chin: "I don't even know that I have done so many wrong things, alas, I have a headache, go to sleep, it's all gone."

No, my lord, how can you sleep at this time, shouldn't you sit here and discuss with us, how to face tomorrow?
Li Mo looked at the people who refused to leave: "Since you are not sleepy, copy the rules and regulations of the yamen ten times, Song Min, you are in charge of supervision."

Before Song Min could speak, everyone had run away without a trace, not even the master.

Chun Fan stared at all this in astonishment, who are these people?

In the backyard, Xiaowen had gone to bed early, Lier was not asleep yet, holding a stick in her hand, gesticulating once and for all, obviously waiting for someone.

While embroidering, Zhou looked at her tenderly: "Li'er, who are you trying to scare?"

Isn't this asking knowingly? In this exclusive backyard, there is only one outsider, and that is Chun Fan, who is also the only adult man.

As soon as Chunfan entered the backyard, Li'er rushed over angrily: "Stop!"

Chunfan smiled evilly: "Sister Li'er, are you waiting for me?"

Lier: "Did you tamper with that cock?"

The rooster that Lier mentioned was the loudest crowing, waking everyone up on time every morning, but Chunfan thought it was annoying, and he couldn't sleep in if he wanted to, and he often ran to his room door to poop.

Li'er suspected that Chunfan had long wanted to hit the cock, but he didn't dare to do it because of the young master.

During this time, the young master was too busy, so he didn't pay attention to him, so he started acting like a demon.

Chunfan pretended to be stupid: "What did you do? Is that rooster castrated?"

Li'er: "You didn't move, why is it dying."

Chunfan smirked: "Maybe it misses a hen."

Lier: "You have something wrong."

Suddenly remembered something, Li'er put her hands on her hips: "What's the matter with you, your master has been away for so long, why do you still live here?"

Chun Fan: "Although the master is not here, I still have tasks to do."

"What mission?"

"This is a secret, want to know? Kiss me."

Lier: "Get out!"

Li Mo looked at the sky, it was only October, and it was still far away from spring, why did Chunfan start to miss spring.

The opinions of the people in the county are nothing to Li Mo at all, and he has a good night's sleep.

It was just dawn, and the gate of the county government office was already full of people.

It was so crowded that I couldn't hear what everyone was saying.

The yamen servants of the horse-drawn carriage and bus did not go out today. Liu Fang stood directly at the yamen gate with a knife in her hand, staring at the people in front of her, many of whom she knew.

The master shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, if you have anything to say, wait for the adults to come out."

Li Mo finished his breakfast in a leisurely manner before wandering to the gate of the county government office.

Seeing Li Mo come out, Fan Hong signaled everyone to be quiet.

Li Mo: "It's so lively today, do you have any happy event to share with me?"

You push me, I push you, but no one dares to step forward.

Fan Hong took out a large stack of papers and said with a straight face: "My lord, this is a joint petition signed by the people in the county, please have a look at it."

Li Mo glanced at it, and the master understood: "Read it out loud."

Fan Hong: "Master County Magistrate, on behalf of everyone in Songjiang County..."

Li Mo picked out his ears, and said impatiently, "Get to the point."

Fan Hong, who was preparing for a long speech, blushed as if he had eaten a fly.

I had no choice but to say succinctly: "It is that everyone is very dissatisfied with the way the adults have done, and hope that the adults will treat everyone equally."

Li Mo: "Who has an opinion? Stand up."

The dark crowd was suddenly silent.

Li Mo took the joint petition from Fan Hong, and smiled sarcastically: "It's quite a big opinion, why, dare to write it or not?"

Fan Hong: "Everyone's opinions are here, please read them."

Li Mo's face darkened: "Okay, I will tell you one by one."

"The villagers are benefiting from the sun-drying field in the village, but have you ever thought about the hardships of the farmers, and who will sell the sun-dried rice to?"

"It's you merchants, rice without other sundries, don't you want it?"

"Since I took office, I have exempted all kinds of exorbitant taxes. Who is the beneficiary? Isn't it your business in the county? The yamen patrols every day to ensure everyone's safety. Isn't the beneficiary you?"

"Songjiang County School, most of the students who go to study in it are children from the county town. How many are there from the village?"

"The hospital is built just outside the city gate. Who comes to visit the most, isn't it you?"

"The streets are clean and tidy, who is the beneficiary? Don't you like living in a garbage dump?"

...

Fan Hong: "My lord, you are making unreasonable words."

Li Mo: "What is unreasonable words? You talk about it, and you, after studying for a few years, focus on how to crusade against the official?"

Li Mo: "Besides, the money is earned by the yamen. You have paid a cent of the tax. I can spend the money wherever I want. It's none of your business. If you don't accept it? Hold on, I can't hold it back, get out of here !"

Fan Hong: "My lord, please be careful what you say. As an official, you should put the people first."

Li Mo said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to behave as an official?"

Fan Hong quickly lowered his head: "Don't dare!"

Li Mo looked at the crowd: "I've said so much, you guys are coming out to fart."

Still no one dared to speak out.

Li Mo: "Everyone has this idle time, why not think about how to make money, and think about the use of these crooked ways all day long. Believe it or not, I will close your shop."
