  Chapter 1268 promotes cash for work

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

   After a group of people and refugees in the flood shelter area in the northern suburbs had breakfast, Zhu Pingan gathered everyone together, stood on a high place, and announced the policy of work-for-relief to everyone with a self-made loudspeaker.

   "Fathers and folks, starting today, I, Jingnan, began to implement work-for-relief. What is work-for-relief, simply put."

  Zhu Ping'an just said the beginning, and the people and refugees in the flood shelter below exploded.

   "What? Did I hear you right? From now on, let us work and stop feeding us?!"

   "God, this is not giving us a way out."

"Damn it, the county magistrate is not a thing. A few days ago, he reduced the amount of food for us, and now he doesn't even provide food, and he keeps saying that he is the official of our parents. Pooh, he won't give us a way to survive, and put us They are forced to die, it is better to rob his mother than to starve to death. I don’t believe it, there are so many of us, they can stop them.”

  For a while, the people and refugees below were furious, and the order of the situation was about to get out of control.

"Fathers, folks, don't get excited, just listen to me. I, Jingnan, donate porridge for free, but I will pay wages. As long as you participate in the construction projects organized by the county government, the county government will pay you wages every day. No less than 20 pennies a day. Work on the same day, settle on the same day, and will never owe everyone even a single penny! Later, the official documents for work relief will be posted all over the city. The promises of the official are in black and white, and they are covered The seal of the official is absolutely true, just like the time when Japanese pirates were defending the city! If you violate the promise, you can take off the official document and go to the Fucheng to report me to the Fucheng, Zhu Pingan!"

  Zhu Ping'an stood on a high place, holding a loudspeaker and speaking loudly to everyone like Dinghai Shenzhen.

"What? No porridge, but wages, not less than 20 Wen per person per day?! That's 600 Wen in a month?! What's this good thing?! I used to ask someone to find a relationship, and it was hard to find a relationship in the town. I went to Mr. Liu’s house and found a job as a cook, and only gave me 400 Wen in a month.”

   "Pay wages?! Really? The magistrate is really our parent official, we kowtow to the magistrate."

   "Why do you still let us work, what are you doing, are you tired? It's as good as giving porridge before."

"Fuck, Liu Laohao, you are such a lazy bastard. There is no free lunch in the world. You still want to eat for nothing for the rest of your life. What a good thing it is to get paid for work. It is not less than 20 per person per day. What about Wen. The family has saved for a month, and the money to build the house has been settled. If you work hard, your wife can also save money."

  After hearing Zhu Ping’an’s words, the common people and refugees were all excited. The wages were no less than 20 cents a day, and they were settled on the same day.

  With the endorsement of the reward for fighting the Japanese pirates, the common people believed in Zhu Ping'an's promise.

  Of course, concerns were also raised.

"Master Zhixian, I have a lot of strength, so I can go to work for relief, but what are my mother-in-law and my son doing?! My son is only three years old, and he can't do anything except eat, drink and play. .”

   "That's right, the county magistrate, my father is seventy years old, why does he go to work?"

Everyone's concerns were under Zhu Ping'an's consideration, and Zhu Ping'an reassured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone, these officials have thought about it, the old and the weak, women and children can help cook, do laundry, mend, collect firewood and fetch water, etc. The same wages are paid for the work. Of course, there are exceptions for children under the age of ten, people who are sick, and elderly people over the age of sixty. Even if they do not participate in the construction of the project, they can still eat for free.”

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

   "Master Zhixian, my name is Huzi, I am eight years old this year, but I have strength, and I want to work and get paid."

  A child with a thick head and a thick head 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 terrified when she saw her son talking boldly, fearing that he would offend Zhu Ping'an, she quickly dragged him back, reprimanded him, and hurriedly Busily knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Pingan, "Master magistrate, my son is not sensible."

   "This eldest sister please hurry up. Although the son is young, he has the courage to take responsibility. It is too late for me to praise him. How can he be blamed?" Zhu Pingan gave a little help, asked the woman to stand up, and said in a gentle voice.

"Huzi, right? It's great that you have this self-motivated spirit. You, and other children, can participate in work-for-relief if you want to. You can collect firewood and vegetables. Do whatever work you can, as long as you put your heart into it." , you can also receive wages. In addition, you can also eat for free."

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

Picking firewood, picking vegetables, and washing vegetables. These small tasks couldn’t be easier for children of this age. They are often instructed by their parents to do these tasks at home. They are not tiring, heavy or dangerous. Not only are they eating for free, They can still receive wages, and families with children are happy, which is a surprise for them.

   "The county magistrate, what kind of work do you do with work for relief? How long is it enough for us?"

   Someone asked with concern.

"The first category is public projects related to everyone's public interests, such as building water conservancy facilities, repairing city walls, reclaiming wasteland, etc.; the second category is post-disaster reconstruction, that is, rebuilding the homes of your fathers and villagers, building houses, etc.; the third category It is anti-Japanese fortifications, such as sentry towers, forts, etc. There are many projects, and the fathers and villagers have worked hard." Zhu Pingan briefly explained to everyone with a loudspeaker on the high slope.

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

   "Xianzun is really our master Qingtian. These projects are all for the long-term stability of our Jingnan."

   "We are not afraid of hard work, but we are afraid that the work is not enough for us. The county lord will give an order, we have long wanted to exercise our muscles and bones."

  Everyone in the audience was very excited, their faces were full of energy, and they wanted to roll up their sleeves and start working immediately.

   Popular opinion is available.

  Zhu Ping'an stood on the high slope, seeing the expressions of the people below, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course, there is no rule without rules, and the same is true for work in lieu. The rules are very simple. First, observe discipline and obey orders; If you commit three offenses, no matter who you are or what the circumstances are, you will be expelled, and you will not be allowed to use it again."

  In order to ensure the smooth progress of work-for-relief, Zhu Pingan announced the rules of work-for-relief in public.

   "Don't worry, the county lord, we will definitely do a good job. If anyone dares to steal and play tricks, we will not spare him."

  Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
