Chapter 8:Truth

Zhangjiacun.

A group of people dressed as servants walked down the mountain road. Before they even entered the village, Zhangjia Village was already in a state of excitement. Some people on the field ridge ran wildly and went into the village to report the news.

After a while, Muramasa and a few people hurried to the entrance of the village to greet him. As soon as they met, they asked the head of the police station flatteringly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Liu, why are you here today?"

"There is no preparation for this. It's a neglect. It's a neglect."

This servant is not easy to get along with. As the saying goes, the king of hell is very troublesome.

The sergeant in a county can't even straighten his waist in the official office. When he gets to the countryside, he looks like a dragon crossing the river and a tiger descending from the mountain. He has a cold look and a menacing look. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is even more terrifying than the jackals, tigers and leopards.

Just eating and taking cards is already a benevolent purpose, and at the thought of it, they can make up a crime to take you away, or send laborers to your home, and the death of your family is just a matter of the first word of these servants.

Muramasa could still stand and say a few words, greeting him familiarly with a warm smile, while the other ordinary villagers, dressed in gray uniforms as servants, bowed their heads, not even daring to take a second look.

Liu Yitou also knew Muramasa, so he nodded and walked straight inside, with Muramasa following closely behind him.

The headman first took a look at the situation in the village, and then came to Muramasa's house. Muramasa immediately served a group of servants with delicious food and drinks, and then quietly handed the filial piety to the headman.

But the captain glanced at the middle-aged man wearing a long gown and a black hat who was following him, and immediately rejected Muramasa's filial piety, and instead spoke seriously.

"Spring is about to begin, and the county is worried about disasters in the mountains, so they sent me out to take a look."

He just said the county, but didn't say who it was.

At this point, Muramasa still thought that Liu Yitou was using an excuse to come down here to eat and get the card, so he kept saying.

"We in Zhangjia Village all listen to the county and Liu Yitou."

"Whatever you say should be done, then do it."

But today, Liu Yitou, who came down with a group of servants, really didn't come down to eat what Naka asked for. When he heard what Muramasa said, he immediately said.

"That's good. In order to prevent mountain disasters, all the villagers in Zhangjia Village have to go to the highlands on the other side of the mountain in recent days, and young people from several nearby villages have also gone to help."

"Build a shelter there to prevent disasters, and provide two full meals a day."

As soon as this was said, people were confused.

This group of officers did not take any benefits when they came down, but even provided them with two meals. It was such a good thing.

Winter has passed, and many villagers are in short supply of food. They have nothing to do, and they can do anything if they can get two meals to eat.

It's just that Muramasa has only heard of disaster relief, not disaster prevention. To prevent disasters, you must know the disaster in advance, but you can't know it casually.

Muramasa: "Disaster prevention, what disaster should we prevent?"

Leader: "If we are prepared, can the county still harm you?"

No matter what, the matter is settled like this.

On that day, under the supervision of a group of guards, the people of Zhangjia Village began to move to the high ground, where they hurriedly set up sheds, where men, women, old and young rested all night.

At this time, the middle-aged man in a long gown who was accompanying the guard spoke.

"Take all your belongings, livestock and other things you can carry with you, and don't leave them behind."

The middle-aged man in the long gown had good intentions, but when Muramasa and the villagers heard this, they suddenly felt a little uneasy and looked at each other.

"What is this for?"

"Why do you still need to bring your belongings with you?"

"What are we going to do? We're just going to build a shed. Why do we need everyone to go together and bring things over?"

Some people thought that this was to take them to the mountain to do something, or that this group of people had other plans, and immediately stopped wanting to go. Some people started shouting and stopped moving forward.

Finally, the middle-aged man in a long gown stood up and spoke to everyone.

"As I said, this is disaster prevention."

"The heavy snow has thawed in the past few days, which is the season when disasters occur frequently in the mountains. To prevent disasters, we built sheds here for everyone to take shelter."

"And when a natural disaster comes, there won't be anything left to protect you, so I asked everyone to bring their belongings with them."

"Take your own things by yourself, just bring them here and don't go anywhere."

"But this is all voluntary."

"If you want to bring it, bring it yourself. If you don't want to, you don't have to bring it."

The villagers were still talking a lot, but under the cold looks of the guard and the chief, coupled with the explanation given by the middle-aged man in the long shirt and Muramasa's mediation, the commotion finally subsided.

——

"You don't have to bring it..."

The screen camera changed and what was playing happened to be what happened in Zhangjiacun.

Seeing that the commotion subsided, Jiang Chao's expression did not change, but he still felt a little relieved.

Jiang Chao is still concerned about this matter.

but.

Originally, he just knew that the mudslide was about to break out and planned to save him as soon as possible. He did not expect that things would have such twists and turns.

But through this incident, Jiang Chao was able to understand some of the conditions of this era, at least some of the conditions and operating modes of a county.

For such a seemingly inconspicuous thing, if the county magistrate wants to accomplish this task, he needs to rely on the servants and chiefs. The chiefs need the assistance of the village masa, and the village chiefs and chiefs need the resources from the county magistrate. With the help of the county's authority and prestige.

"I didn't expect that simply trying to save people would be so complicated."

"If I were to do this from the beginning, I probably wouldn't be able to do it."

Wang Shu opened a corner of the screen and appeared in front of Jiang Chao.

"You can just appear in front of the villagers and ask them to move away."

Jiang Chao nodded, indeed this can be done.

"But what about the aftermath?"

"A village was hit by a disaster, and all the fields and houses of so many people and families were lost. The disaster would have ended if they had not moved to another place to escape the mudslide."

"Only the magistrate in charge of a county has the resources and strength to properly handle this matter, so it is most appropriate to leave this matter to him."

Wang Shu calculated according to Jiang Chao's thinking model. In this case, Jiang Chao's choice is the optimal solution, the method that saves the most effort and gets the best results.

Wang Shu: "But this matter has nothing to do with you. You have no responsibility to save them, and there is no need to consider this."

Jiang Chao nodded and then said.

"That's right."

"I happened to see it, and I happened to be able to do something easily, so I did it."

"I'm not a nosy person, but when something happens to me, I can't get over it unless I do something."

Jiang Chao stood up and continued.

"Although it seems quite complicated, in fact, for me, it was just a glass of wine while watching the snowy scenery on the riverside at the door, and a few words with an incoming county magistrate."

"And it's also rewarding, isn't it? We have collected more information and have a better understanding of the situation outside."

His eyes looked at the appearance of the chief and the servant in the picture.

"It's just that a soldier has such power. When he stands there, he looks like a local emperor and makes people tremble. Someone is still suppressing them."

"I saw a county magistrate two days ago and I felt disapproving."

"Now when I look into the countryside and fields, I realize how noble the police officers are!"

This may sound a bit ridiculous, as the word "sergeant" is actually associated with the word "honor", but that's the fact.

This is what happened to the police officers. The county magistrate sitting in the official hall was so majestic and frightening.

What should a county governor and governor be like?

What do real princes and emperors look like?

At this moment.

Only then did Jiang Chao truly feel that the existence of this world was so real.

It's not a virtual picture, but a person of flesh and blood, with different names and identities living here.

The dull and cowardly poor peasants, the nodding and bowing village leader, and the arrogant servants all formed a picture.

The breath of another world and era rushed towards him.
