When the people heard Luo Binwang's shouts, they followed suit.
In an instant, the shouts of "long live Lord Du" reverberated throughout the city.
The people were excited and grateful to Du Qi.
When Luo Binwang saw this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Shigui sighed in his heart.
Amazing!
Truly amazing!
No wonder he was Du Qi's man.
Luo Binwang's small action showed how capable he was.
Zhang Shigui reminded himself to do his job well. Now that he was working by Luo Binwang's side, it was the best opportunity to learn from Luo Binwang.
Shouts of joy rose and fell.
The shouts were continuous.
After a long time, the shouts gradually died down.
The people were still excited.
Some of them even had sparkling and translucent tears flowing in their eyes. The people in Pandu District were having a hard time. Many of them could not even survive.
Now, because of Luo Binwang's order, the people saw hope again.
At least they had something to look forward to.
Luo Binwang raised his hand. When the people's shouts died down, Luo Binwang said, "Fellow villagers, Lord Du also said that although the corvee labor and taxes have been exempted, the plight of the people cannot be solved for the time being. We have to solve this problem for the people to have a good life. After all, it's winter now and we can't plant crops! "
The commoners listened carefully and hurriedly nodded.
Many people had a good impression of Du Qi.
The reason for that was because what he had said earlier was too reasonable. It was currently in the dead of winter. Sometimes, it would even snow lightly.
What should they do now?
They had to live on.
Otherwise, they would freeze to death this year.
Luo Binwang continued, "Therefore, Lord Du said that. Many of the rivers in our Pandu County are clogged up. Many of the lands are barren and overgrown with weeds and forests. Many of the city walls and passes also need to be repaired. "
"We need people to do all these."
"In the past, we recruited corvee labor. Now, we don't recruit corvee labor, but we use work as relief."
"The government will pay. If you are willing to come, you can come and work. Of course, the salary will not be too high. It will be enough for you to earn money to support your family and survive this year. "
Luo Binwang spoke frankly and frankly, "Wait until next year, then everything will be easy. Next year, the villagers will sow seeds for the autumn harvest. With sufficient food, everything will be easy. "
"Long live Senior Du!"
This time, there was no need for Luo Binwang to shout. Someone else shouted.
Within Pan Du County, there were indeed many commoners. Currently, they were in dire straits and had no food to eat.
At this time, the government would provide relief through work, which would immediately alleviate the plight of many people.
This was an excellent thing.
Therefore, many citizens were extremely excited.
At this moment, more and more commoners gathered around to watch. Because many commoners did not know what had happened, many people asked around. When they learned of the situation, they were all extremely excited.
While the commoners were watching, a man in his thirties came.
This person had an imposing appearance.
Even though his clothes were ordinary, his temperament was different.
This person was none other than Du Qi.
He stood in the distance, amidst the crowd. Hearing Luo Binwang's words and hearing Luo Binwang's words, he smiled in his heart. This kid, Luo Binwang, was quite good at doing things. He had unknowingly built up prestige for him.
Du Qi listened for a while. After a while, Du Qi left.
Luo Binwang was still talking.
He talked about the many measures that he had taken after taking office, which were all beneficial to the people.
He wanted to let the commoners live a good life.
The atmosphere among the commoners was extremely lively.
Many of the commoners' faces were filled with joy.
After Luo Binwang finished talking about various matters, he began to answer some questions from the commoners. Time passed quietly, and it was already noon. At this time, Luo Binwang dismissed the commoners and went straight back to the county office.
Zhang Shigui also returned with Luo Binwang.
When the two of them were eating together in the county office, Zhang Shigui did not say a word at first. After the meal, Zhang Shigui said, "I admire your talent, County Magistrate Luo."
Luo Binwang said, "These are all small tricks. It's not worth mentioning."
Zhang Shigui shook his head and said, "I've lived for many years, and I've been obsessed with County Magistrate Luo for many years. Today, after hearing County Magistrate Luo's words, many things that I couldn't figure out have been enlightened. County Magistrate Luo is really an expert. Really amazing. "
Luo Binwang smiled and said, "In the future, you will find that Young Master is the real expert."
Zhang Shigui said, "County Magistrate Luo, I have a question."
Luo Binwang said, "What is it?"
Zhang Shigui said, "Now, corvee labor, agricultural tax, and even relief with work. When it comes to these, it will require a lot of money. This is a huge expense. What should we do about this? "
Luo Binwang smiled and said, "What's there to be troubled about? After the Dong, Shangguan, and Hong families were seized, didn't they have a lot of money? This money and food are our foundation. Moreover, Pandu County is a prefecture, and the business is still good. Therefore, there are still business taxes that can be collected. You don't have to worry about this. "
"As long as we have money and food, everything can develop."
"It's not a bad thing to hide wealth from the people."
"If we treat the people like this, if something really happens, the people will support us."
Luo Binwang said, "Zhang Shigui, you used to work for Mount Fuyang, so you don't understand these things. However, I hope that you can keep this concept in your heart in the future. You have to remember that if you only think about your own interests, you will never be able to do well. Only when you do things honestly, put the people in your eyes, and truly benefit the people, will your future path be wider and wider. "
Zhang Shigui said, "I will keep it in mind."
He also reminded himself in his heart that his current position was very different from the past.
In the past, when he worked for Mount Fuyang, he was careful in everything. Mount Fuyang didn't even have any rules or laws. Zheng Sanduo's words were the rules and laws.
Now, under Du Qi's command, it was different.
He prioritized doing things.
The most important thing was to be able to produce results and do things well in a down-to-earth manner.
The rest was secondary.
Luo Binwang said, "Alright, go and do your work. The current Pandu County is very complicated, and there are many things that need to be done. Especially when it comes to the land and population, there will be a lot of things to do. Prepare yourself and follow me to the place later to understand the situation of the entire Pandu County. "
"Yes, Sir!"
Zhang Shigui replied and turned to leave.
After Zhang Shigui left, Luo Binwang carefully thought about the next step of the arrangements.
Since he was the county magistrate, he had to do his job well.
He didn't let down the ruler.
While Luo Binwang was thinking, a bailiff came in and came to Luo Binwang's side. He said, "County Magistrate, Official Du sent a message to invite you."
"Understood."
Luo Binwang stood up and went straight to Du Qi's residence.
When Luo Binwang arrived at Du Qi's residence and saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "Young Master."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Have a seat!"
After Luo Binwang thanked him, he took the initiative and said, "May I know why Young Master called me over?"
Du Qi said, "Two things."
"First, you lectured the people in front of them, encouraging them and building up my prestige. You don't have to do that. You should do what you should do. You don't have to open your eyes for me, and you don't have to give me credit. "
"As the ruler of men, how can I not be magnanimous and magnanimous?"
"So, you can do whatever you want."
"You can use my name to do whatever you want. However, you don't have to be humble in everything. You're clearly thinking for the people, but you have to give me the benefits. "
Du Qi said slowly, "That's the first thing."
Luo Binwang said, "I will remember."
Du Qi said, "The second thing is related to Songyang County. I just received news from Fushan County. Fushan County was ambushed by Songyang County's army. Because Meng Jiuyou was well prepared, he was able to wipe out the three thousand cavalrymen of Songyang County. This army is the reinforcements that Bennelu asked for help. "
"Because Meng Jiuyou wiped out Songyang County's army, the governor of Songyang County was furious. He has already mobilized the army to attack Meng Jiuyou's Fushan County."
"That's why Meng Jiuyou sent people to ask for help."
Du Qi said in a low voice, "There's going to be a war in Fushan County. That's why I have to resolve the crisis in Fushan County first, then attack Songyang County. "
Luo Binwang heard this and said, "Young Master, you're going to return to Fushan County. Should I go with you?"
Du Qi said, "That's why I called you here."
Luo Binwang heard this and felt a little nervous.
He wanted to stay by Du Qi's side.
This was a position with a real future. If he stayed in Pandu County, he would be restricted here for the time being.
Du Qi continued, "In my opinion, you should stay in Pandu County for now. After all, Pandu County has just been reorganized. There are too many things to do. You should stay in Pandu County and take care of everything properly. When everything is on the right track, you can hand it over to Zhang Shigui and let him take care of it. If I hand it over to Zhang Shigui now, I won't be at ease. "
Luo Binwang nodded, "Yes, Young Master!"
Since Du Qi had said it directly, Luo Binwang couldn't refuse.
He could only stay.
Du Qi nodded, "Luo Binwang, although you've been with me for some time, you're still young. Because you're young, you haven't really been in charge of a county. "
"Now that I'm in charge of a county, although my position is low, it's not high."
"But here in Pandu County, even though it's small, it has all the essentials."
"Here, you can feel what it's like to be in charge of a county. Do your job well. I want you to leave Pandu County so that countless people can see you off, not so much that they can't wait for you to leave. "
Du Qi said, "As an official, you have to bring prosperity to your county. I hope you can live up to these words. "
Luo Binwang said, "I'll remember Young Master's teachings."
Du Qi said, "Alright, you can go about your business. I've told you what to do, so you can prepare yourself. Also, when I leave, I'll leave behind two thousand soldiers for you to take charge of Pandu County. "
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Luo Binwang thanked him and said solemnly, "I will complete my task perfectly."
Du Qi waved his hand and Luo Binwang turned to leave.
