Chapter 56

Commander Sun's face was gloomy and sat in the tent, looking at the piles of campfires outside and the crowd chatting around the campfires. After a long silence, he looked at Chen Yuliang opposite him and said, "Brothers are you still living happily in Qingtai Town?"

Chen Yuliang took a sip of wine and said, "I was a very depressed person, but after seeing how you look, I don't think so."

After saying that, I tore off a piece of meat from the chicken on the plate and ate it beautifully. It is still affordable to live in the countryside. I raise a few chickens myself and feed them a little bit more rice. I will have such good meat to eat. In Qingtai Town, a rooster costs dozens of yuan, and I have to consider it if I want to eat it.

Commander Sun was silent for a while and sighed: "It's not easy for this official to do now, and I think of going to the town."

Chen Liangyu was shocked and said quickly: "Why did my brother think so? When I went to the town's business, I didn't talk about my idleness or busyness, I could only receive the money and food every month, and I had no other items and no filial piety. It was as if I were in charge of the happiness of hundreds of families here!"

Commander Sun just sighed: "Since we arrived at the place, each family has divided the land, the people's hearts have dispersed, and the team has been difficult to lead. In the past two days, because the work of road construction has been heavy, Pangdu was naughty with me every day, which made me so annoyed and annoyed!

After hearing this, Chen Liangyu said indifferently: "Brother, listen to my advice. He will suffer from any work. He will take advantage of this position even if he suffers some grievances. In the future, he will collect food and silk, so the countryside is full of fuel and water!"

"Oh, you have to eat oil and water in your mouth! It's okay if you are naughty, but things can always be over. But Pang Dutou took the villagers today and stopped working and was fined for rice. The matter would be bad. He stopped there and couldn't finish the work, so Deputy Commander Qin and I were punished together. The yamen is now in strict management, and I was afraid that it would not only be fined for salary, but also to seize the official position. How can we continue to do this?"

Chen Liangyu said: "Why is Pang Dutou so unaware of things! No matter what, it is his own brother after all. He makes trouble like this, delaying everyone's future! This person has always been a bad temper and is not a big deal!"

Commander Sun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother, we are here to farm now. Do you think there is still a future? I guess that if you die, you will only take care of a few villages. Too bad, it is just a master. It is said that in front of the official yamen, the world is heavy. I didn't know what happened before, but now I understand. The tax servants above are only spread to you, and if the people below don't obey, they will be all over themselves."

In the past, there were a series of violent means in the army to ensure the authority of these officers. Now, when they go to the local area, the violent means are not good, and various problems are prominent. The commander in charge of ten villages is actually just a master. There is no system of local elders and village clerks. It is even more difficult to do everything by himself. Commander Sun could not turn his mind and was not used for a while. He thought that he could control the life and death of his subordinates just like in the army before, and he said the same thing.

It is not easy for farmers to transform from the army to farming. These grassroots officers are even more difficult. Without the awareness of taking the initiative to adapt, it is destined to be difficult.

Chen Liangyu was one of the first people to give up his military post and go to the Yingtianwu Office. It was not that he had a long-term vision, but that he was lazy by nature and did not want to farm. When he arrived at the yamen, he worked everywhere as a small official in the early days. Recently, he opened a factory for making candy, where he worked. The work in the workshop was single, and there was no such complex place. He was able to make enough money and food, so he was very enjoyable.

After a big fight today, Pangdutou took the villagers back to the village and refused to do it. He would rather escape from labor and be fined rice than be angry with Commander Sun. The matter was completely frozen. Commander Sun found Dutou in other villages, but none of them were willing to take over this area. If the deadline was reached and the roads in other places were repaired, this section would be left unrenovated. Commander Sun knew the consequences. At that time, it would not be fined, and he might be seized by the field affairs. Although his official position was small, he had worked hard to get promoted. How could he be willing to be seized like this?

The Xiang Army is not an imperial guard, but is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Infantry Department, but is actually under the jurisdiction of the local government. Du Zhongxiao dealt with it directly, and Commander Sun could only accept it, and there was no place to shout for justice. Knowing that the consequences were serious, and there was no way to solve it, Commander Sun was determined to leave and did not want to suffer in this position. Today he specially invited Chen Liangyu, who had already given up his military post and went to Qingtai Town to consult and find a way out for himself.

The two of them were drinking and chatting about their experiences these days, and their hearts were mixed.

Without having to pull the fiber, when you go to the local area to farm, the workload of these people has been much reduced. In just a few months, everyone has gained a lot of weight from commanders to pawns. In the past, they used to pull the fiber, and they worked hard all day long, and their muscles were not as rich as they are now.

As the local area gets on track step by step, many people cannot adapt to the new life and have various conflicts arise. Take the conflict between Commander Sun and Pang Dutou, it was not a big deal in the army before. What happened to be more effort? It’s amazing to make up for it in the future. Now it’s not possible. It’s not just a problem of spending more effort, but it directly involves the income of money and grain, and no one gives in.

When Commander Sun thought of Dutou in other villages, he felt even more tired. They got the benefits, but asked them to help themselves and repair the section of Pangduou according to the workload of the work. No one was willing to do so. With the same effort, other places could get six liters of meters, and only two liters of Pangduou, and no one could take over the job. If the price was not increased, no one would come to take over the job.

To increase the price? Then you have to take out the rice yourself. Thinking of this, Commander Sun felt a lot of pain. Isn’t this the battle of Lizheng? If you make a mistake, you will pay for it yourself. How many businesses can squander like this? The salary you pay may not be enough.

Of course, you can also re-dividend, admit your mistakes, and reduce the workload of Pangdutou Village. But in this way, your prestige will be gone, and how can you manage people in the future? Not to mention this, other villages are unwilling to do so. Could it be that they will continue to quarrel one by one?

If you are wrong, you are unlucky. Who makes you unable to do so? It involves real interests and no one from the subordinates will take the blame for you.

If he doesn't want to make up for his mistakes with his own money and food, Commander Sun only has one way left, that is, he will not do it. He admits that he can't do this job, let the Yingtian Affairs Office make up for the losses and leave by himself. The Yingtian Affairs Office is building various fields, and there are many places to employ people. It is not difficult to arrange Sun commanders for these people. But he is very difficult to get through this hurdle in his heart.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Commander Sun asked Chen Liangyu: "Brother, how are you doing things in the field?"

Chen Liangyu took a sip of wine and ate a bite of chicken, saying, "Life is very leisurely. Every day, Chenshi goes to work, and after Shenshi goes home, everything has rules and no trouble. After resting for ten days, you will get money and food, and everything is fine. There is only one thing, this life is very boring, and there is no extra benefit in the Qingshuiya. We are used to leading troops, and suddenly we are neglected and we are a little uncomfortable."

Chen Liangyu used to be the head of the capital, with a hundred soldiers under his command, and his life and death were in his own hands, and there were always people flattering him. He didn't say that he would invite wine and meat every day, and he would go out and rush to his side, and he would listen to his orders at any time. Now, the business affairs are only holding the power of signing and plagiarizing, and according to the rules, no one would flatter him. The business affairs are actually recruited by officials. Chen Liangyu and other officials arranged in it are just the eyes and ears of the yamen, and a pen to protect the profits of goods for the official. He doesn't need to understand, just understand what kind of words written on the paper and sign it yourself.
