Chapter 216 Medal
The Kunshan County Government Office, on the large ping-flat in front of the lobby, was filled with people, with as many as one or two thousand people.
He came to cause trouble after seeing him off. Oh no, Governor Lin, who was inspecting and guiding, Mr. Zhao gathered the county officials, gentry, village chief, outstanding representatives of the Chief of the Ancestral Commander, as well as advanced individuals in the flood control, and held the "First Leaders Meeting of Kunshan County".
Representatives of Jiangnan Company also attended the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Magistrate first made a enthusiastic summary speech on flood fighting.
"In the past few months, our 300,000 people in Kunshan County have united and launched a thrilling struggle with the flood, showing selfless sacrifice, great fighting spirit and selfless dedication!"
After half a year of training, Mr. Zhao has become more and more comfortable. He stood on the steps in front of the lobby, pressing the long table with one hand and waving forcefully with the other. He said passionately:
"Now the flood has receded. Now I can proudly announce that this battle has won a stage of victory!"
The applause and cheers shook the sky on the big ping.
Many people were so excited that they wiped their tears. Since they were sensible, they have been ravaged by the flood. How could they have thought that there would be a day to defeat the flood?
When everyone calmed down, Mr. Zhao began to commend the advanced collectives and exemplary figures that emerged in this year's flood fighting campaign.
Jiangnan Company, Kunkaisi, Jiangnan Hospital, Kunshan Inspection Department, and 36 A and 297 miles were awarded the Advanced Group for Flood Fighting.
Then a medal ceremony for the model flood fighting figures...
~~
Needless to say, these are all ghost names that Mr. Zhao thought of.
He knew very well that in addition to material rewards, people also needed spiritual rewards.
Especially after a brilliant victory.
Material rewards can only make people happy for a moment, and they will be gone after eating.
Spiritual rewards can last forever, allowing people to be inspired by a sense of honor and pride. Not only will it not fade with time, but it will become more precious as time goes by, and eventually become part of people's souls.
Therefore, Zhao Hao attaches great importance to this matter and handles it with his own hands... Well, mainly because it is more interesting.
It is easy to talk about plaques, but the Ming Dynasty has a long history of plaque culture.
From the beginning of the scholars, people can hang plaques such as "Xi Shi Liu Fang" and "Bipan Lian Fang" at home to show off their white body and become a scholar.
When you pass the imperial examination and get a Jinshi, you will naturally have a higher-level plaque. You can even be filial to your parents, be harmonious with your brothers, and donate money to support your school. So Zhao Hao asked Xu Wei to write a few words and can be customized in the county.
But the medal is a thing that has never appeared in history. It can only be designed by Mr. Zhao himself, Secretary Ma took the pen and improved the drawings, and handed them over to more than a dozen silver shops in Suzhou City. It took a month to create it.
The medal consists of a pentagonal ribbon seal made of blue and white ribbons, and a round metal main seal.
At the edge of the main chapter is an abstract embankment, which protects the outline of Kunshan County. In the center of the image is the silhouette of Zhao Erye... It's not, it is the four words "United to Oneself" mentioned by Zhao Erye himself.
Behind the medal are the ten regular characters "The second year of the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty" written by Xu Wei.
He Wenwei, Xiong Xiasheng, Bai Shouli, Gu Dadong, Zheng Ruozeng and other twenty district heads, and the section head received a gold medal.
The other thirty section chiefs, seventy three village chiefs, three hundred and thirty armor chiefs, and one hundred and thirty people who have made outstanding contributions have won silver medals...including Miwa and Goudan.
The remaining armor lengths and more than 4,400 excellent ordinary people were awarded bronze medals.
Zhao Shouzheng personally awarded medals to the recipients of the gold medals. Then he and the gold medals awarded medals to the silver medals.
As for the bronze medal, because there are too many winners, they can only be led by the village chief first and sent back to the winners.
At first, Zhao Hao wanted to leave a souvenir for everyone.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. The sense of honor of the officials, gentry and the people of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded his imagination. They stroked the medals on their chests and burst into tears. Gu Dadong and others all cried into tears.
Looking at the pride of the flood-fighting models who were so proud that they sat on the wall to watch the fun with him, Xu Wenchang, who was sitting on the wall and watching the fun, gave Zhao Hao a rare praise.
"You are such a heart-warming devil."
"You still bring the devil's stuff?" Zhao Hao glanced at the shiny gold medal on Xu Wei's chest.
Although he and Wu Chengen were unable to take the stage to receive the award due to their identity as parole, they still deservedly won the gold medal.
"Pick it off."
"That's not possible." Xu Wei quickly covered his chest, stroked the medal gently, and said with great importance: "This represents my achievements and no one can erase them."
As he said that, he sighed and said, "Why did Hu Ruzhen not have any other tricks like you? When he won the victory in the anti-Japanese war, he gave me such a shot. How perfect would it be..."
Seeing that someone as crazy as Xu Wei actually valued honor so much, Zhao Hao realized it a little.
Although the Ming Dynasty was founded for two hundred years, the world was getting worse and worse, and officials, gentry and people became more and more concerned about profit, people still put honor and reputation above money. This was something he, a pragmatist, had never thought of before.
While moved, Mr. Zhao was overjoyed and now he found a way to save money.
Although the medals are not cheap, even if they are all given to Comrade Brezhnev, it is much more cost-effective than rewards with real money.
Xu Yuanchun and Xu Weizhi were very regretful when they sat aside. For such an exciting scene, they could only use lead to sketch records.
How great it would be if there was a camera like the teacher said.
But the teacher said that you have to learn optics and chemistry before you can teach them how to make cameras, but you have to learn mathematics before that.
I'm dying for a young age, when will I make a movie?
~~
In front of the lobby, after the medal ceremony, Zhao Shouzheng held a mobilization meeting.
He whispered to the leaders of Kunshan County, which had high morale:
"Although flood fighting has achieved phased victory, more arduous tasks are still waiting for us. Kunbei wants autumn harvest, Kunnan is in a mess, and the huge third phase of the project is about to begin, and it is necessary to lay a solid foundation for the great development of the county next year."
"So you guys, we must not enter the warehouse with swords and guns. We must continue to exert the spirit of flood fighting, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be a good example, and lead the people of the county to unite and meet new challenges!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. People who were a little relaxed because of the victory of flood control were once again excited and wanted to roll up their sleeves and take someone to do it.
"I announce that in the next tough battle, the flood control system of Section Lijia will remain unchanged. We will take ten days to complete the autumn harvest in Kunbei. Ten days later, all of them will go to Kunnan and work together to complete the third phase of the project and the post-disaster reconstruction in Kunnan!"
"Yes!" Zhao Erye is light and electricity, and it is the only miracle of the people of Kunshan. Everyone will do whatever he says.
Chapter completed!
