Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1092 Microservice Private Interview

After Zhu Pingan learned about the situation in the prison, he had an idea in mind, but in line with the principle of "listen to the light and believe in the dark", he changed to the common clothes, took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao out of the county government office, and went to the village below for micro-service. Private visits, go to the field to further understand the situation, and conduct full research for the concept.

  After Zhu Ping'an left, Zhang Danian, the judge of the punishment room, immediately went to report to Zhang Xiancheng and Master Yao.

   "This little county official just walked around the cell and asked how many prisoners are doing? What does he want to do?"

   After Zhang Xiancheng heard Zhang Danian's report, he was a little confused about what Zhu Ping'an wanted to do, and turned to look at Master Yao.

Master Yao is like a think tank among their party members. Zhang Xiancheng will refer to Master Yao’s opinions on many important matters. For example, it is Master Yao’s idea to unite the six-room subordinates and not cooperate with Zhu Ping’an to carry out work. .

   "What did he ask? You start from the beginning." Master Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Danian.

"When he was not in the prison at the beginning, he asked how big the prison was and how many rooms? Later, when he entered the outer prison, he asked why there were so many prisoners in the prison? What crimes did they commit? Later he asked some prisoners why they were arrested. Arrest? After entering the inner prison, he asked the inner prison why there are so many prisoners? Why are they all arrested?" Zhang Danian replied truthfully.

   "After understanding the situation, how does he look?" Master Yao asked again.

   "Expression?" Zhang Danian was stunned, tried to think back, and replied uncertainly, "It seems very dignified."

"Hehe, that's right." Director Yao laughed when he heard the words, "Do you still remember the first time when Xiaoxian Zun summoned the officials of the county government? In addition to taking overall responsibility, he was also in charge of the trial of the case. Hehe, Zhang Dianli worked slowly and meticulously, and the file has not been handed over to Xiaoxian Zun. Xiaoxian Zun could not understand the backlog of litigation cases. I can't wait any longer, so I can only go to the prison to find out the situation. Seeing that the prison is overcrowded, of course I have a big head, and it's strange that I don't look dignified."

  After listening to Master Yao's analysis, Zhang Xiancheng took it for granted, and couldn't help laughing, it was true, Xiaoxian respected him, so what else could he do except look dignified.

   Zhang Dianli also laughed together.

  The room was filled with triumphant laughter from the three of them.

   While the three of them were laughing triumphantly, Zhu Ping'an and his party had arrived at the first village, which was the nearest village to the county seat. Zhu Pingan entered the village, and first went to the field to see the growth of the crops.

  Zhu Pingan was born in the countryside. His uncle was not involved in production, and his fourth uncle was lazy. Thanks to their "blessings", Zhu Pingan has been going to the fields with his father and elder brother since he was a child. He is no stranger to crop planting and harvesting.

The agriculture in this village is mainly rice planting. The rice in the field is about to be harvested. The rice is yellow and orange, but the overall growth is very average. Judging from the traces in the field and the surrounding area, the rice here has experienced waterlogging. Ping An estimates that the yield per mu of land will be reduced by about 20% to 30%.

Zhu Pingan stepped forward to chat with the old farmers who were resting on the ridges during the plowing intervals nearby. He learned from the old farmers that their rice had indeed just experienced a flood disaster. After the flood, there were also locusts. It was a lucky escape, but it is estimated that this crop of rice production will be reduced by at least 30%.

   "Alas, there was a disaster, and the grain production was reduced, but the tax was not reduced. It's a sad day." The old farmer sighed.

"Old man, there is a waterlogging and locust disaster in our village. Is there no organization in the village to report to the county government? After reporting, the county government will send people to survey the disaster situation and report to the state government. Part of the tax can be reduced or exempted as appropriate." Zhu Pingan was puzzled. asked.

"I reported it, why didn't I report it? For so many years, we have reported disasters every year, but it is useless, and no one cares about us. For so many years, we have to pay as much as the tax. If we fail to pay, we will be fined. They also arrest people. These officials only know how to collect taxes, and they are in charge of our life and death. The family of Da Niu in our village was the worst hit last year. Poor, the few acres of paddy fields in the family have produced less than 10% of the previous year’s harvest. I couldn’t collect the taxes, so I was caught in the prison years ago. Now it’s time to harvest rice again, and Daniel is still locked up in prison. His family is orphaned and widowed, how can they harvest the rice in the field? Ah, hey, these days are difficult." The old farmer shook his head, sighed again and again, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as the ravines in the field.

  Zhu Ping'an frowned when he heard the words, his predecessor was dereliction of duty.

According to regulations, disasters should be reported at all levels, and the masses should report to the county magistrate. The county magistrate should report to the superior as soon as possible, and then form a disaster investigation team. The county magistrate must personally go to the village to survey the disaster, count the number of people affected and the scope of the disaster, and prioritize and carry out disaster relief. And apply for the reduction or exemption of corvee tax

  According to what the old man said, it seems that none of the previous magistrates of Jingnan has done it. This is already a very serious dereliction of duty.

  However, in ancient times, the power of county magistrates lacked supervision and restrictions, and such dereliction of duty or even abuse of duty often occurred.

  Officials do not act, and the people suffer greatly. Zhu Ping'an really feels this.

   People's livelihood is not easy.

  Zhu Pingan bid farewell to his husband, went into the village and visited several households, and then went to the next village.

  The situation in this village is very similar to that of the previous village, they are all in the same situation.

   As the third village, Zhu Pingan chose Dayao Village, which is the village where Yao Lao met at the city gate when he came to Jingnan.

   Arriving at Dayao Village, Zhu Pingan first learned about the crops in the village, then asked the villagers about Yao’s residence, brought a pastry, and took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao to visit Yao.

Knocking on the door and entering Yao's hometown, Yao Lao was taken aback when he saw Zhu Ping'an coming to the door, and waited for Zhu Ping'an to smile honestly and shouted to Yao Lao, Yao Lao recognized Zhu Ping'an, surprised and excited at the same time, With trembling lips, he shouted, "Cao Min pays homage to the county magistrate", and was about to kneel down to see Zhu Ping'an.

  Zhu Pingan didn't wait for Yao Lao to kneel down, so he stepped forward to support Yao Lao.

"Master Zhixian, you really came to our Dayao Village. Wife, son, daughter-in-law, hurry up and pay homage to the magistrate, the magistrate is here to see me, an old man." Yao Lao excitedly said to the house Li repeatedly shouted, urging his wife and son and daughter-in-law to come out to meet Zhu Pingan.

   "No need to be too polite, everyone, please get up, please get up." When Yao's family came out to meet, Zhu Ping waved his hand and asked them to get up.

   "Master Zhixian, come as soon as you come, why do you still bring something?"

Yao Lao said, but his face was full of glory, and then turned to look at his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, and said proudly and ostentatiously, "I told you back then, but you still didn't believe me. Zun is just talking superficially, how is it now, the county magistrate is as promised as he is, and he will come as soon as he says it."
