Chapter 21 A Heavy Rain
The breeze blows, bringing a hint of warmth. The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the sound of chaotic insects can be heard in my ears. Looking up from a distance, the mountains and ridges are rolling and undulating, depicting a colorful picture under the blue sky and white clouds.
A month has passed since the riot in Bai'an County, and now it is the hot summer season. At noon, pedestrians on the street are rushing to avoid the unbearable heat.
At this time, all the constables and yamen runners in the yamen had recruited, many of them had signed up, and those who were left were carefully selected. In the past, those who were in trouble were all fired on the day of the riots.
No matter how much they explained and guaranteed it, Zhou Yuan would drive them away.
Although he is a brother who has worked with him for many years, how dare he disobey the tasks assigned by the county magistrate? Moreover, it is impossible to say that he has no complaints in his heart.
Over the past month, people have also seen Chen Yu's methods. He just quelled the chaos in the city, and then launched a "critical crackdown order" throughout the county, carrying out unprecedented crackdowns on gangs or street gangsters in the county that bully the people.
Not only did they place indicators for the constable and the yamen runners, but they also introduced a series of reward systems, and even hung small reporting boxes everywhere on the streets in a daze. People can report with real names or choose to report anonymously.
If you report with real name, once it is verified, the whistleblower will be rewarded. Of course, the arresting of the constable must be conclusive. If you dare to slander, the consequences will be quite serious.
In addition, Chen Yu destroyed the Feihu Hall, the largest gang of Bai'an County, in one breath, and both the county magistrate and the county magistrate were taken down. The entire Bai'an County was trembling under his power, and no one dared to stab him.
Only those who used to charge protection fees, go to the dock to collect income from coolies, and cheat people who have been caught within a month, were arrested, and the arrested county magistrates were preparing to expand the prison.
It was so ruthless that I didn't even let the thief go, and I almost caught all the spitting people away. These people were full of grievances and complaints. Do you know how I spent this month? I was hiding in the cottage.
The days of arrogant and domineering in the past are gone forever, and everyone is a human being with their tails in their hands. This is not enough. From time to time, people who have bullied them will be reported by the backhand. That night, someone was pressed to the point, which is not a way out for everyone.
As a result, these people were either arrested or fled to other counties. The entire Bai'an County was cleared, which made Chen Yu's popularity rise rapidly, and the entire Bai'an County was grateful to him.
"Come here, I will give me a 20-plus slaughter and fine it ten taels of silver for three months!"
Chen Yu's voice sounded again in the yamen. This kind of situation occurs almost every day, and everyone is used to it. Many people will watch the excitement. Seeing these people who have bullied them being tried and punished, they even applauded afterwards.
I don’t feel as good as watching big shows. I come to the yamen every day and feel happy.
"System, check in!"
"Successfully signed in, I got 100 taels of silver!"
"Another one hundred taels have been received!" After passing the hall, the people were satisfied, and Chen Yu was also happy after signing in. Since he started to play the crackdown, the daily rewards have not been stopped, at least there is no need to worry about money.
Being an official is still fast. If you are a chivalrous person, you can sign in so much by yourself. You don’t need to embezzle and accept bribes, and you can get endless money by signing in. This is a life you dreamed of in your previous life.
In addition to these scattered debris, Chen Yu also signed in and got the iron cloth shirt, Quanzhen sword technique, and a copy of the Great Power Vajra Palm, Jiuhua Yulu Pill, Xiaohuandan and so on several times.
Unfortunately, most of the people who were arrested were not as good as the weather, and they couldn't sign in many good things.
However, in addition to the crackdown, Chen Yu still had some ambitions in his heart, thinking that he was the leader of a county and would benefit the people for one term. Unfortunately, he did not study science before. He knew nothing about making glass, playing cement, etc.
As for the relevant knowledge of junior high school and high school, I'm sorry, I almost forgot it after going to college. After entering society, there is really nothing left. It's hard for those time traveling through time to handle these things.
In addition to cracking down on it, what he is doing now is to hope to attract merchants to move in by developing local characteristics to drive the local economy. At least the public security in Bai'an County is much better than other places.
In addition, during this period, he also left the county town and went to the countryside. Compared with the city, the countryside was very miserable. The so-called traffic between the streets and streets did have any interactions. But more were ordinary people with pale faces and thin skin, and their clothes were torn and tattered like beggars.
Those who have clothes are still good, and many people don’t even have clothes. Those half-aged children often play outside with their butts naked. They live in low thatched huts and eat wild vegetables and grains. They often don’t see any meat fishy for several months.
Even so, many people still have no food to eat and often work hungry. They seem to not know how to rest day and night, but their daily income is very small. At only 40 years old, their faces are already full of ravines. The old face is full of difficulties in life.
The words "eating and wearing warm clothes" seem easy, but it is quite difficult to achieve it.
Chen Yu felt sad when he saw this situation. Fortunately, he was a county magistrate who traveled through time. If he went to an ordinary village and became a poor person, he would say whether he could hold on. He was still chivalrous and righteous, and he couldn't afford to eat or go out of the village. How could he be chivalrous and righteous?
Therefore, in his spare time, Chen Yu often wanders around the countryside. The wool in the city is almost done, and the bullies in the countryside are also hateful and need the education he loves as the county magistrate.
What's more, the people are really suffering. If they can help, they will help them. This is actually to motivate themselves to think of policies to benefit more people. At least, more people must be able to eat enough.
"Sir, please take a rest!" Zhou Yuan was already convinced by Shen Yu for so long. He had experienced many county magistrates from a constable to a captain, but this was the first time he had seen such a person.
Whether it is a clean or corrupt official in the past, he has never been wandering around the countryside like this, never knowing how to rest and constantly solve the people's affairs, which makes people admire it.
Everyone understood that the new county magistrate was a good official. Zhou Yuan, who had been by his side, felt particularly obvious. Just look at himself and knew that this month, he had become dark and thin, which made the wife at home think that he had been taken to work as a coolie.
If Chen Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him, young man, you can't imagine the happiness of helping others!
"Sir, it's going to rain!" I looked at the sky. It was clear just now, and now it was covered with dark clouds. The weather changed as soon as it was, and soon, heavy rain squirted down lightly.
I thought the rain would stop soon, but I didn’t expect that the rain would fall for several days and the river water surged. Chen Yu looked worried. It was not a good thing that the rain was so heavy!
"What a rain!" At this moment, the young man stood quietly by the window and looked outside, with an excited smile on his face.
This was the first time he showed his smile in such a long time, which made the guards next to him tremble and hurriedly buried his head lower.
"This heavy rain is just right, I guess the river bank can't hold on. OK, it's great, let's go and leave with me!"
