A new appointment takes some time, perhaps as short as ten days or as long as a month.
After all, it is not easy to change one's orders every day. We have to find a reason that is neither too light nor too heavy for Zhao Wei to remove this position.
Zhao Wei didn't know whether the person he found could be of any use, but the other party took all his cigarettes and alcohol.
As an interim president, Zhao Wei does not want to just sit around and do nothing. He also wants to do something practical during his tenure to benefit the villagers.
The first thing is definitely to open up the wasteland.
The chosen address is on a river beach outside the village.
The rivers in this place would overflow during the flood season, submerging the farmland on both sides.
This will lead to reduced land production or even a total loss of yield.
Therefore, many times, villagers would only come here to pick up some mud to fertilize the fields. The two banks were no-planting areas, and this great land was wasted.
Instead of opening up new land, it is better to focus on this fertile land.
Naturally, the villagers had some objections to this and felt that he was messing around.
This kind of land is dangerous, and it is a waste of manpower and seeds. Naturally, people started to make up stories about him behind his back and said all kinds of unpleasant things.
"Look... He has never farmed before and doesn't know anything, yet he's still giving orders blindly."
"Young man, you are not good at talking and you are not reliable in doing things. Sigh... How unlucky we are in Yushu that we have to have such a president."
"Of course not, and you're not willing to learn. Haha... you're such a rubbish. At least listen to everyone's opinions and use your brain before making a decision!"
…
Zhao Wei did not argue with these people, but just held the power. Anyone who wanted to earn work points to make a living had to do as he asked.
The crowd had no choice but to pick up their hoes and follow him to the river.
At this time, a lot of sand and pebbles in the river were taken away because of the construction of houses, which invisibly cleaned up the river.
But this is still not enough. If we want to turn this river into a river beneficial to production and life, we have to manage it.
If successful, at least we can make use of the uncultivated land on both sides of the river. We asked someone to do a special calculation and it turned out to be about 50 acres.
If it exceeds this range, it is already the area of the downstream villages and they cannot occupy it.
If these 50 acres of land are managed well, the yield per acre may be greater than that of 100 acres in those barren lands.
When the autumn harvest comes, perhaps the Elm Dun will create a miracle, allowing everyone to get more food and not go hungry.
To manage the river is nothing more than to prevent floods. There is no irrigation water conservancy in this place. If the water in the river can be diverted to the fields, it will naturally kill two birds with one stone.
All the able-bodied men and women in the village were mobilized, more than 800 in total, and led by ten team leaders. Each man had his own task, and they separated and began to dig ditches.
Zhao Wei used lime to circle out a total of 10 ditches, and then began to break ground.
Soon, people on both sides of the strait were working enthusiastically.
There was no other way. Zhao Wei was too good at creating a good atmosphere. He did nothing but found a few hot-tempered and outgoing girls in the village and had them dance and shout labor songs.
"If we dig good channels and divert good water, we will have hope for a good harvest."
"Women should not give way to men, and men should not even think of being role models."
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Ten teams digging canals compete for first place."
"Group One is more aggressive than Group Two, and everyone praised their canal digging speed."
"Group three and group four never complain of being tired, they work together to dig the canal to the end."
…
This cycle went on and on, making the women and men so excited that their faces flushed. For the honor of the group, they worked so hard that they put all their energy into it.
The five educated youth were not idle either. They came to the countryside to work, not to watch the fun. They were placed in several groups.
It can be said that the group including them was in big trouble. These people were all intellectuals, so how could they do this? It was normal for them to be criticized while working. After only working for half a day, they saw a female educated youth crying because of being scolded.
Zhao Wei had foreseen this, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Xiaoyu was a very emotional person and was actually bewitched by this slogan. She just kept working there in silence.
When he returned home for lunch at noon, he saw two broken blisters on the palm of his hand.
The guy was in so much pain that his eyes were filled with tears. He regretted it so much that he started to get angry at Zhao Wei.
"Zhao Wei, you are really amazing. You are a new official and you have done something big right away."
"I suspect you are targeting me. Bah! I shouldn't have let you sit in that position."
…
She and Zhao Wei have always been accustomed to bickering, and they speak without restraint, regardless of who he is. Not to mention a small president, even those section chiefs have to be careful to apologize when facing her.
"Oh... I'm sorry to disappoint you. I can control you now. If you don't like me, what can you do to me?"
As early as when they were in the county town, this guy didn't want Zhao Wei to have anything to do with the county magistrate, and asked him to solve any problems himself, which forced Zhao Wei to seek help from outsiders.
What's the use of regretting now? Anyway, Zhao Wei is sitting on the top position and has an incomparable sense of superiority.
Liu Xiaoyu came to this countryside to certainly undergo hardships. If she wanted to live a leisurely and comfortable life, she could just pursue her dreams.
Come to think of it, now that Zhao Wei is here, he can still take care of her a little. If he weren't here, he doubted that this girl wouldn't even be able to eat.
There really is no place for idlers in this village.
Liu Xiaoyu couldn't do anything about him, and the next moment she saw Yunxiu walking over with a small bottle of alcohol.
"Liu Zhiqing, let me help you with this. It will heal faster."
Liu Xiaoyu stretched out her hand awkwardly: "Um...thank you!"
Yunxiu smiled and said, "We are all under the same roof, you don't have to be so polite!"
Liu Xiaoyu bit her lip and watched the other person gently treating her wound. Seeing that she was in pain, he even helped blow on the wound. She must have been a little touched.
It was obvious that she was not very nice to the other person usually, ordering him around and showing no respect for him.
However, the other party never held a grudge against her and never treated her unfairly.
"Ahem...um...I apologize to you. I'm used to being casual. I'm like this to everyone. Please don't take it to heart."
Yunxiu raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect this young lady to be so straightforward and cute, so she nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Then he reminded her again: "Don't touch your hands with water today. If you need to wash anything, tell me and I will help you."
Lin Zhiqing's hand was being pricked by Zhao Wei for blisters, and he quickly interrupted when he heard what was said.
"My clothes are dirty, sister-in-law, can you help me wash them? Ahem... my hand is also injured..."
