Chapter 225 Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
When Jiang Lili saw the secret treasury of County Magistrate Huang, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.
But now that all of County Magistrate Huang's assets have been wiped out, he will definitely become desperate and will easily drag the He family into trouble.
Don’t worry, there is a long way to go.
The silver withdrawn now is enough to settle the people living along the Haizhu River.
Jiang Lili observed the weather and saw that it was not raining heavily. She did not need to rush back to the inn where she was resting by the Haizhu River. So she called the groom and said, "Let's go to the farm and take a look."
On the outskirts of the city, in He Xiuzhu's farm, the farm was bustling with people coming and going.
Hundreds of families living along the Haizhu River settled here. When they saw the river water rising sharply, they hurriedly fled to the city with their families.
Because they knew that County Magistrate Huang's luxurious mansion was just in the north of the city, nothing would happen in the city, and County Magistrate Huang would definitely do his best to protect the main urban area from floods.
However, after they fled to the city, the government officials said that they were affecting the appearance of the city and drove them away to beggars' dens or the outskirts of the city like beggars.
Many of the beggars encountered by the victims were very cruel. They directly snatched the packages and belongings they brought with them, as if forcing them to go back.
Just when the victims were at their wits' end, people from the He Family Trading Company showed up and settled them in a farm on the outskirts of the city.
Not only did they have a place to live, but they were also provided with two meals a day. In addition to rice and vegetables, they even had meat dishes like fish and chicken.
However, if you want to eat chicken, everyone has to take turns to look after the chickens in the chicken farm next to the farm.
The task is not tiring. With so many people, it is easy for everyone to take turns.
Help Hejiazhuang to repair the farmland, maintain the house wood... Doing some small tasks can be exchanged for work points, and the work points can be used to exchange for bedding and clothes.
Many people caught a cold during this heavy rain and suffered from coughs, headaches, and fevers. The He family's Shanyitang provided free medical consultations, and neither consultations nor prescriptions were charged. Moreover, adults and children who were talented or willing to study hard could be selected into the Shanyitang, regardless of age.
After training, people who can perform simple bandaging, find medicine and help with miscellaneous tasks can also exchange work points for supplies.
The life now settled in Hejiazhuangzi is even more comfortable and fulfilling than that in the small fishing village on the Haizhu River!
Next to the washing pool, women gathered around the pool, chatting and washing clothes. Everyone had a smile on their face and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The sound of children reciting their lessons could be faintly heard. A young woman was washing clothes in her hands and glanced in the direction of the temporary school.
"They actually hired a teacher to teach children calligraphy for free. My little baby can recite a few lines of the Three Character Classic just by listening to him. We ordinary families don't have the money to hire a teacher. We are lucky enough to be able to send our children to school!"
Many ordinary families feel that there is no need for their children to study and learn to read. Those who want their children to study can only send them to schools in the city, which is a long journey and the food expenses are expensive.
The short woman with a pair of bright black eyes straightened her back at this time: "The main breadwinner of my family passed away early. I used to wash clothes, cook and do needlework at home. I could only earn a meager income by selling some embroidery. I thought that this would be my life."
"I didn't expect that I could recognize so many Chinese herbal medicines. Shopkeeper Fan even praised me for my good memory and sharp eyesight!"
The rich man at the side told everyone the latest joke: "My daughter Erya has always been very smart, but my mother-in-law always ignores Erya because she is a girl. She only cares about my sister-in-law and her fat son. Whenever my family gets something good and gives it to my mother-in-law, she gives it to my sister-in-law and the eldest grandson."
"As a result, grandma fell in the rain this time. Erya had been bandaging and changing the medicine for the past two days. Grandma disliked it and wanted her eldest grandson to change the medicine. As a result, the bandages her grandson tied made her scream in pain and she almost fainted."
Everyone was chatting and laughing happily, and at the same time they were grateful to the He family in their hearts. If it weren't for the He family, they would probably still be in some dilapidated temple, or would have been starving to death, and would not have the mood to chat and laugh.
As soon as the boss came in, he heard everyone's relaxed and cheerful laughter, and he felt healed. All the busyness of these days was worth it.
"Hey, who are you? I've never seen you before!"
At this time, a woman noticed the eldest brother's unfamiliar face, his clothes that were out of place, and his mysterious hat, and she immediately became alert.
The eldest brother quickly took out the He family badge from his waist, and the woman immediately apologized: "I'm really sorry, Manager Zhuangzi taught us to recite the Three Character Classic of Safety, something about strangers, being alert, and preventing being deceived..."
“We are more sensitive.”
The boss shook his head after hearing this and said, "No problem, you guys did a great job. I'll give the Three Character Classic on Safety to the manager on the farm."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "You are the Shopkeeper Jiang that the managers were talking about!"
In the past few days, everyone has heard about the person named "Shopkeeper Jiang" from the various shopkeepers. It is said that she is the adopted sister of the head of the He family. She opened the age limit of Shanyitang and hired temporary tutors for the children...all of which were the work of this shopkeeper Jiang.
Everyone was very emotional and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you very much! Everything here is great!"
"We ordinary people don't understand those flowery words of thanks, but our hearts are just as honest!"
"Besides, it's so safe to live here. Yesterday morning, someone said that a silver bracelet was stolen, and today we caught the thief who sneaked into our team! All those people who stole things in the village were accurately caught. It's so safe to live here. This is much faster than reporting to the police!"
Jiang Lili smiled after hearing this.
Although there are no surveillance cameras that can view monitoring images in real time, Jiang Lili has installed cameras at the entrance of each accommodation area that can store videos on the device's internal memory card.
Anyway, this village will only take four or five days, and you only need to place four or five instruments in the accommodation area and replace the internal storage cards of the instruments every day.
If someone loses something, the built-in video of the cameras in the corresponding area will be checked, and any unfamiliar faces entering or leaving the room will be found quickly.
Seeing that the He family's farm was in order, Jiang Lili felt relieved. The twelve managers under He Xiuzhu were truly capable.
Jiang Lili returned to the inn beside the Haizhu River and continued to divert the flooding water from the Haizhu River.
Although the amount of red envelopes is limited to two hundred, Jiang Lili discovered after exploring the red envelope interface that the unit can be selected by oneself. Just click to slide, and the intensity, precipitation amount, precipitation time, etc. can all be noted.
In the city, after the golden bird cage clock was repaired, Shopkeeper Ma sent the clock back to County Magistrate Huang, and swiped County Magistrate Huang's card: "Sir, good news, the water level of Haizhu River has now stopped at the warning level and is not rising any further!"
