Let the county magistrate stay at the county house, and Zhao Ping takes Xu Tianhua, Peng Yue and others to the beach.
Zhu Quan was overjoyed, he also wanted to witness the miracle.
Zhao Ping was worried about the common people making trouble.
Zhu Quanxi patted his chest and said, "Of course not."
"We, the people in Linhai County, respect your husband very much. When they learned that he was coming to Linhai County, they thought he was going to be the county magistrate. They all came over to give him gifts."
"That is, you bring a large army here and scare them away, otherwise..."
Before Zhu Quanxi could finish what he said, a Yamen servant came over to report.
It was said that there were many ordinary people outside, and the county government was completely surrounded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Send troops to suppress it quickly."
Zhu Quanxi was anxious, "Sir and the county guard are here. We must not let those unruly people rush in and disturb them."
"yes."
The officer took the order and was about to turn around when he was stopped by Zhao Ping, "Wait a minute."
"Sir, what are you waiting for?"
Zhu Quanxi stamped his feet anxiously, "If you wait any longer, those unruly people will rush in..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled bang.
The gate of the county government was squeezed open, and the people gathered outside rushed in.
But instead of rushing into the house, he knelt down outside and kowtowed to everyone in the hall.
"Mr. Zhao, you are really the great master of Qingtian. You came from Yun'an County to eliminate harm to the people of Linhai County. I thank you, Mr. Zhao."
"Thank you Mr. Zhao. We don't have anything good at home. We only have two eggs left. I gave them to Mr. Zhao."
"This is two taels of pork that I bought with my spare money at home. I also gave it to my husband. I hope he can accept it."
"There is nothing else in my family, but there are many daughters. The eldest is eighteen years old, and the youngest is six years old. There are five of them. They are all given to the husband, and they can be his maids in the greenhouse, right?"
"..."
They all came to express gratitude.
The gifts were all kinds of weird things, including food, clothing, and daily necessities, and they were given to everyone, which made Zhao Ping dumbfounded.
Zhu Quanxi was dumbfounded.
Or envy.
I have been an official for several years. I have only heard of this kind of situation in rumors, but I have never seen it before.
As for the things the common people gave to the magistrates and officials of Linhai County?
Don't even think about it.
If you don't hit the sap twice while it's dark, it's already burning incense.
And what about Zhao Ping?
The first time I came to Hai County, I was treated like this.
When these people kowtowed, their words were full of gratitude to Zhao Ping, without mentioning Xu Tianhua, the magistrate of Yun'an County, and Peng Yue, the governor of Donghai County.
This shows Zhao Ping’s prestige.
In the hearts of the people, he is already higher than the county magistrate and county guard.
Zhu Quanxi secretly vowed that if he had the opportunity to follow Zhao Ping, he would learn from what he did and strive to gain the gratitude of the people.
This is what an official should do.
Li Hu was also shocked.
Although the people have good intentions, with so many people here, who can tell who is sincerely thanking you, and who is taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble?
So he was very nervous and stood in front of Zhao Ping, protecting him tightly behind him.
Gao Meng did not dare to neglect. He led the brothers who were trapped in the camp and stood outside the hall, staring at the people kneeling on the ground.
Anyone who dares to act rashly will be struck directly with an axe.
With the safety factor up, Zhao Pingcai said loudly: "No need to thank me, I just did what I should do."
"If you really want to thank me, please thank the magistrate of Yun'an County and the magistrate of Donghai County."
"This matter is led by the two of them."
"Otherwise, I, a mere civilian, have no qualifications to kill the magistrate and officials of Linhai County."
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and then went to thank Xu Tianhua and Peng Yue.
"It's not that you thank me, but that I should say sorry to you."
Peng Yue took the initiative to step forward, stood at the front, and bowed to apologize to the people kneeling on the ground.
"As the governor of Donghai County, it is my responsibility to let the people of Linhai County live in dire straits."
"Killing the two evils, the county magistrate and the county officials, is what I should do."
"It's just that it came a little late and made everyone suffer."
"Stop kneeling. The ground is cold. Get up quickly."
"As for the thank you gift, I deserve it."
"And our officials in the Dawei Dynasty cannot do this. If we accept things from ordinary people, we are disobeying the emperor's orders and will be beheaded. Do you want me to be beheaded?"
"So everyone should take their things back."
Everyone did not leave, but looked closely at Peng Yue, as if they still had some unfulfilled wishes.
"Chief Peng, you can't say that."
Zhao Ping reminded in a low voice: "We have solved the problem in Linhai County now, what can we do later?"
"As a county guard, you cannot stay in Linhai County forever."
"What if Linhai County returns to its original state after you leave?"
"People are still uneasy."
"what is it now?"
Peng Yue asked: "I can't stay here forever, can I?"
"There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the county."
"Give them a guarantee."
"How to guarantee it?"
"Forget it, let me do the talking."
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while.
Being able to work in Donghai County for ten years, Peng Yue earned his income based on his own ability and could not blame others.
My mind can't turn around at all.
He had no choice but to stand up and ask: "Are you worried that after the Sheriff leaves, Linhai County will return to its previous state?"
Everyone nodded.
"You can rest assured. I, Zhao Ping, am here to promise you that I will never let the people of Linhai County suffer again."
Zhao Ping said loudly: "The county magistrate and county officials have been beheaded. The former county magistrate Zhu Quanxi is now the county magistrate. I believe he will treat the people under his rule well, don't you think so?"
After speaking, Zhao Ping looked at Zhu Quanxi.
This is to make yourself swear.
Zhu Quanxi was overjoyed, and the opportunity to curry favor with Zhao Ping came.
He said impassionedly: "I am Zhu Quanxi, the county magistrate of Linhai County, and now the acting magistrate of Linhai County."
"When the county governor and Mr. Zhao find a suitable candidate, they can come over at any time to take over the county magistrate's post."
"In addition, I assure you that Linhai County will never see officials oppressing the people again. Starting today, people's accommodation fees will never be levied again."
"We, the people of Linhai County, pay as much tax as the imperial court needs to pay, and we will never pay a penny more."
"I will even ask Mr. Zhao to open a factory in our Linhai County."
"Just like the textile factory in Xiping Village, it recruits labor from our county."
"Although it won't make as much money as the Xiping Village Textile Factory, it will still be enough to provide enough food every day. What do you think?"
high!
Hearing this, Zhao Ping secretly gave him a thumbs up.
This Zhu Quanxi is a talent.
In just a few words, he threw the problem to himself.
Even putting yourself on the fire.
Not agreeing would be a disservice to the people.
If it spreads to Yun'an County, it will seriously affect your reputation.
Agreeing to it is tantamount to making Zhu Quanxi's wedding dress and building his good reputation.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping originally planned to build a dock here, dry salt, and even build a ship, so he made a favor.
He smiled and said, "Not bad."
"I have decided to open a factory here."
"When the time comes, we will definitely give priority to the people of Linhai County in hiring. You can rest assured in terms of remuneration. Three full meals a day and two copper coins are the minimum requirements."
"If you perform well, your wages will be increased."
"I am from a common people background, and I know that life is not easy for us common people."
"Even if I suffer a little more and make less money, I can never let the people suffer any more."
"When can we build the factory?"
Someone asked: "How about tomorrow?"
"Everyone is free now and can help Mr. work. Let's build the factory as soon as possible and start work as soon as possible."
"This can't be rushed."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Building a factory is not just something that can be built..."
"Mr. Zhao, are you trying to fool us?"
Hearing what Zhao Ping said, someone immediately questioned: "Didn't the Xiping Village Textile Factory just be built as promised?"
“Why can’t it be built in our Linhai County?”
"I don't plan to build a textile factory in Linhai County."
Zhao Ping said.
"What to build then?"
"Salt factory."
Zhao Ping said: "A salt-making factory."
"Making salt? How?"
Everyone started muttering again, "We can't."
Men provide the strength, build houses, transport things, etc.
Woman doing needlework.
Making salt?
Such high-end operations have nothing to do with ordinary people like them.
Simply clueless.
"You can learn slowly if you don't know."
Zhao Ping explained patiently, "I will lead County Magistrate Zhu to do some experiments now. If feasible, the factory will be established soon."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"No, I will open a textile factory again."
Zhao Ping said: "Since I promised you that I will lead everyone to make a fortune, I will never break my promise."
After Zhao Ping's repeated assurances, these people believed him and left one after another.
Zhao Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.
With so many people gathered together, something might happen.
Fortunately, he settled it.
The next step is to go to the beach to conduct experiments. If feasible, a salt drying farm can be established.
If you really do it, it can definitely become one of the important sources of your own income.
It's still a steady stream.
