Chapter 442
"The lower officials did not recruit old people over fifty!"
"It must be that the people below have made mistakes in their affairs, and the officials have made mistakes. Please forgive me, my lord!"
Inwardly, Wang Anxin scolded all eighteen generations of people who worked under him,
But he understands that a mistake is a mistake, if he keeps making excuses, it will definitely make Jiang Chen even more disappointed.
"Since that's the case, let's talk about punishing you after the matter is resolved!"
"The people below made mistakes because you didn't supervise well, so you should be punished!"
Jiang Chen nodded.
As an official, it is impossible to do nothing. If something happens, there is also a responsibility that cannot be shirked. It is not enough to find two scapegoats to satisfy Jiang Chen.
"My lord! You are wrong to blame the county magistrate!"
"We are all village officials, responsible for calling and leading the people in the village to serve, and we are the village supervisors!"
"Of course, I also have the obligation to bring them back intact!"
The old man saw that the magistrate would be punished for such a trivial matter, so he immediately explained to Jiang Chen.
They are the village officials, leading the people out, because they have enough prestige, the people in the village will obey their orders, and if they can't do things, they can still urge them.
It is absolutely impossible for them to lose people in the village, that's why the village head brought people here.
"I see!"
"Since it's Muramasa, then hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain!"
"When you are old, you must not hurt your body, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"If my lord can work, why can't we work?"
"Is Lian Po still able to eat?"
"My lord, we will grow stronger and stronger, and we will definitely not be in poorer health than the lord. Don't drive us away, or the people in the village will be disobedient and difficult to manage!"
"Yes, my lord, we are definitely not trying to be brave. As long as we are watching, those bastards will definitely work hard and complete the task of the lord as soon as possible. Please go back first, my lord!"
"Alright, my lord, please come back quickly! Don't ruin your body!"
The people said quickly.
They don't want to get sick because of Jiang Chen's rain, if that happens, they will definitely feel uneasy.
And it will also be condemned by the people all over the world. The lord is the lord of all people, how can they watch the lord do such rough work? ?
The lord is someone who does great things, if there is no lord, how would they be where they are today?
"My lord, please go back!"
"Otherwise, the common people have no intention of doing things!"
The county magistrate Wang An and others next to him also tried their best to persuade them.
I hope Jiang Chen will not stay here, otherwise, they will feel even more guilty in their hearts.
"No, I'm here today to work together with everyone to dig through these rivers together!"
"In this way, we will rarely be affected by floods in the future!"
"This is an act of merit in the present and benefit in the future!"
"As a lord, I must set a good example. People are people, and I am a person. What is the difference between people? Since the people are going to dig rivers during heavy rains!"
"I must do it myself, so I can feel at ease!"
Jiang Chen shook his head, rejecting the requests of the common people.
"Lord!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, all the common people and officials once again burst into tears.
As the saying goes, a man does not flick his tears lightly, but it is not yet the time to be sad.
At this moment, all the men's tears began to roll down like a flood that opened the gate.
It's just that because of the heavy rain, they covered up their embarrassment well and maintained their dignity. The water was so violent that it was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.
"Okay, no more words!"
"Everyone, come with me, and everyone will accept the government's arrangements and dispatches together!"
"Today, everyone treats me as an ordinary soldier. Let's dig together. We must protect our homes as soon as possible, and prevent them from being eroded by disasters!"
"Man will conquer the sky!"
Jiang Chen shouted loudly, then raised a hoe, jumped into the mud like this, and began to dig vigorously. Seeing this scene, the blood of the common people boiled.
"Man will conquer the sky!!"
"We will be able to conquer the sky!"
With the lead of the Lord, all the people were encouraged a hundred times, and they firmly believed in their hearts,
As long as there is a lord standing in front of them, they will never hesitate even if the world is under attack.
The not-so-large background in front of them seemed to become incomparably majestic in front of them.
All the people rushed into the mud with hoes on their shoulders, and began to dig hard.
Countless mud splashed on their bodies, faces, and even their clothes, but no one bothered to wipe it off. They just dug there with all their strength.
It seemed that every hoe exhausted all their strength, but in the next second, they gained more strength.
Jiang Chen's back was like a source of strength, deeply encouraging them.
All the people firmly believe that as long as there is the lord, all disasters can be overcome, and they can finally see the day when the clouds will open and the moon will shine.
"You people come with me!"
"All people, according to the requirements, lead [-] people each, and each person is responsible for digging a river channel!"
"If you can't finish it, kneel down and explain to the lord!"
Wang An also wiped his tears with his sleeve, picked up a hoe from the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and shouted loudly at the officials around him.
"Yes, magistrate!"
All the officials were red-eyed. They picked up their hoes and began to appear in different areas to dig according to the previous assignment.
All the people, no matter what kind of clothes they were wearing, were thrown into the ranks of excavation.
Everyone at this time, everyone is united.
"Such a lord, it's a great fortune for the lower officials to meet you!"
"An must work hard to become an official, in order to repay the lord's kindness of knowledge!"
Looking at Jiang Chen's back, Wang An was also greatly encouraged.
He didn't expect that even a person in the highest position like the lord would be able to pay his own hardships and do it himself for the sake of the people.
As a county magistrate, is there any reason not to do a good job? ?
In the past, he had some prejudice against some of Jiang Chen's political opinions, and felt that Jiang Chen had done too much, and there was some element of acting, letting officials help the people harvest? ?
This is unheard of no matter what age.
But today, when Wang An saw this, Wang An suddenly felt very natural!
Maybe I didn't understand the real intention of the lord before. It turns out that what the lord wants is such an official who is dedicated to the people, not a high-ranking ruler.
It's not an idle official who sits in the government office, only keeps his ears shut, and can't really serve the people at all.
