The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 319 Rewards and Punishments

The next day, Li Mingren felt very unhappy when he learned that Zhao Yunlan was about to return to Qingshui Town, as if parting was about to happen in the next moment.

"Don't be so embarrassed. It's not like you won't come back. Besides, I will definitely go back for my third brother's wedding."

Li Mingren sighed: "I know, I just can't let you go."

"We've only been separated for a few months. It's not a long time. Look at my second brother and younger siblings."

"In a few months..." Li Mingren wanted to continue talking for a while.

Zhao Yunlan immediately interrupted: "Okay, shut up. Ruiwen is not as clingy as you. Go to the county office soon. Don't delay your official duties."

"Yunlan~"

"Don't stop here. It's time for me to go to the school to give lectures. I don't have time to say goodbye to you here!"

After saying that, Zhao Yunlan left first.

After the autumn harvest is over, the weather suddenly turns cooler. After a period of busy work, farmers can no longer do farm work when the weather gets cold. Naturally, it is inconvenient for children in the school to go to and from school, and the school is not yet complete. Zhao Yunlan thought of making a heating stove for the school building, so that even if It's winter, so it's not that uncomfortable to go to class, and there's no need to end classes in a hurry like this semester.

Therefore, due to various reasons, this year's semester will be shorter. Zhao Yunlan has roughly determined the time for winter vacation. Therefore, the school semester has come to an end and it is time to prepare for the final exam.

In the school, Zhao Yunlan and the two gentlemen determined the exam time and some rewards based on performance ranking after this exam.

The purpose of rewarding this initiative is to encourage children, and also to let more parents who are hesitant to send their children to study see that sending their children to study not only costs money, but also makes money.

Zhao Yunlan didn't want to be so cliché, but there was no way. Most people were still struggling to meet the food and clothing line, and some even jumped repeatedly on the line of survival. This dynasty had to be so pragmatic if it wanted to encourage everyone to send their children to school.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, take a look, this is the reward system I have drawn up."

Zhao Yunlan spread out the paper and explained:

"The bonuses for the first place to the third place are one hundred coins, eighty coins, and sixty coins respectively. The bonuses are not much. I'm afraid it's too high. These children have money in their hands and can't protect it, so they take these The copper has lost his mind. Do the two gentlemen have any objections about the bonus?"

Chen Chongmin said: "I think the bonus is too high. Hey, the reward shouldn't be money. Where can any school give out this so-called bonus to students?"

Zhao Yunlan explained: "The children need some encouragement. They are all poor children, and they need money. And there are many children outside who also need to see a little hope, so this bonus must be given.

I set this bonus amount by analogy with the wages of an ordinary man working outside. And I also consider that we don’t have many students this semester. If we recruit more students next year, I will increase the bonus amount, so the bonus is not set high. "

Wages in Shiyang County are generally not high, mostly between ten and twenty coins, so the reward of one hundred coins for the first place can be worth a man's wages for several days. If a child from a poor family wins first place, with this hundred coins, he can buy some daily necessities for the family.

Mr. Chen was finally convinced. After all, Zhao Yunlan was the dean, and she was the one who gave the bonus. Even though I felt that it was unreasonable for the school to give students money, I didn't refute it.

Huang Yuan is very supportive. After all, Dean Zhao is his boss. No matter what she does, Huang Yuan will support her wholeheartedly.

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Zhao Yunlan continued:

"Except for the first, second and third place, the fourth to fifteenth place will each be rewarded with twenty coins. Then the first, second and third place will each be awarded a pen and a piece of meat. The fourth to fifteenth place will each be awarded a piece of meat. The amount of this meat It is enough for a family of five.

I thought that there were only rewards for the first, second, and third place, which was not enough to attract too many people. Some people might think that the children at home were stupid and could not get this reward at all, so it would be a loss to send them to study, so I expanded the scope of rewards. , can attract more people. "

Only now did Chen Chongmin truly understand the determination of the girl in front of her to set up a school. She seemed to want to enroll all the children who could talk into the school.

"By the way, the children who will be ranked in the future will still be given two candies to express encouragement. The purpose of this is to tell everyone that the learning process is indeed bitter, but after hard work, you will definitely taste the sweetness."

After speaking, Zhao Yunlan looked at the two gentlemen.

Chen Chongming: "Okay."

Huang Yuan also nodded repeatedly: "I agree."

"Then let's make an agreement with the two gentlemen first. This final exam is related to rewards and class placement for the next school year. So the two gentlemen must treat it in a fair and just manner." Chen Chongming: "Dean Zhao, you Don’t worry, I will definitely not be biased.”

"Me too, whoever it is should be." Huang Yuan also promised.

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, then the final exam is scheduled for twenty days later. The two gentlemen will seize the time to come up with the test questions in the past few days."

"Row."

The school exams have been arranged, and Zhao Yunlan will put the time to return to Qingshui Town on the agenda.

At the county government office, although Li Mingren was always worried about Yun Lan going home, he still had to move forward with the official business that should be handled.

In the past few days, Xie Changwang has brought idle people from various villages to the county government. It was not that people were arrested casually, but the villagers from each village provided some past misdeeds of these people, and these people were summoned in turn.

Li Mingren was determined to punish these people this time. When these people first arrived at the county government office, they were sent directly to the jail for a whole morning. Moreover, there is one room per person, and the cell happened to be empty recently, so the arrival of this group of people made the prison quite lively. But Li Mingren didn't intend to question anyone, he just left everyone in there.

After everyone couldn't hold it in anymore and made a few scattered noises, they sent a yamen servant to shout: "Shut up, you are not honest when you come in. Do you want to be sent to do labor? My iron can be burned." "Red."

Everyone in the cell was a little panicked when they heard that they would be sentenced without warning, but there was no one around them who could breathe, so they could only worry themselves.

After finishing other official duties, Li Mingren felt that these people were almost imprisoned, so he asked the government officials to bring them in for interrogation.

It was quite spectacular to see a group of people standing in the court waiting to be interrogated.

"Do you know what you have done?"

"Sir, the common people have been wronged." Although the legs of several thin men have become weak, their mouths are still strong enough to hang a weight.

Li Mingren knew these people. These people were frequent visitors to the county government prison cells. They were locked up for a few days at a time, released, and then started to have fun in the village.

Ta, Li Mingren was so frightened that the whole group of people shut up and did not dare to complain about injustice again.

"I'll give you another chance. Take the initiative to tell the truth about what you have done. If you are unwilling to admit it, you will be immediately branded and sent to the south."

I saw Xie Changwang directing his men to move the stove and soldering iron into the courtroom. The fire in the stove was burning really brightly, and the soldering iron was already hot and red.

The timid person just knelt down and explained everything he had done, including the house from which he stole a sweet potato.

In the end, those tough talkers couldn't hold back their burning anger. Looking at the serious county magistrate on the desk, they knew that this time they were going to take action, so they had no choice but to confess their crimes honestly.

After everyone finished explaining, Li Mingren read the case statement, which was basically consistent with the testimony provided by the villagers. These things did not reach the point of being dispatched, but these people were illiterate and did not know the laws, so they were all frightened. This is what Li Mingren wants, and the next step is to impose punishment.

First, these people were sent to clean the streets, and they also went to every household in the county to collect "golden juice". Then we organized everyone to go to each village to help plow the land, which could make up for the mistakes made in the village in the past. Of course, this is not a simple matter of hoeing the land, but there are requirements.

The arrangement for collecting "golden juice" solved a big problem for the county government.

This was the reason why Shiyang County always had a stinky smell in the past, because the feces in various households were not properly handled. When Li Mingren first took office, poop buckets could be seen randomly placed on the street from time to time. Even if someone knows how to collect it, they don't pay attention to cleanliness when collecting it. Sometimes the excrement is spilled and the bucket is overturned, but no one will clean it up, so that some floors are covered with layers of dirt and the smell is very unpleasant. smell.

Later, Li Mingren improved the county's street hygiene and took over the matter. Every morning, yamen will be arranged to collect the excrement buckets. Each household can only take out the excrement buckets and put them in a fixed place half an hour before collection. The person who collects the "golden juice" will then uniformly transport the excrement to a special place outside the county. Place of storage.

If any family needs manure for farming, and the manure at home is not enough, they can come here to install it. Of course, this requires paying some copper coins. The price is not expensive, four buckets of excrement cost a penny. After all, people have to clean it every day, and the storage area also needs maintenance. It is already an obligation to help those people collect excrement.

Moreover, the government officials had some complaints about collecting "gold juice" in shifts. One was that they had to change and wash themselves after finishing their work, which wasted time. The other was that at least three to four people had to queue up every day to collect the "gold juice". , otherwise it wouldn’t be possible at all.

Now that this group of people is here to do the work, the county government can also use more manpower. It only needs to send one servant out every day to supervise this work. Li Mingren plans to take care of this group of people for a long time. In addition to not wanting them to go out to cause trouble to the people again, he also wants to reshape their ideas and let them know that if they want to have enough to eat, they must use their own hands on the right path. create.

Of course, there are dozens of mouths to manage, and the county government's account books are still under certain pressure, but Li Mingren believes that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and at worst, the county government will suffer for a while longer.
