Summer nights are short, and the sky becomes dimly lit after 5:00 a.m.
The thick fog that shrouded Kunshan County quietly dissipated, and there was gradually movement in the Anmin Society in the north city.
Today's Anmin Society is very different from what it was before.
Originally, the entire Anmin Society was built on wheat fields and wasteland. The buildings were simple and shabby shacks, and there were no drainage and sewage facilities.
Hundreds of thousands of people who fled from Kunnan were crowded in there.
Not only was it overcrowded, but eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all done in the camp, which was stinking and covered in mud. Swarms of rats scurried around everywhere, and the environment was extremely bad.
Many ordinary people started to fall ill within a few days of moving in, especially the frail elderly and children, and some died of illness every day.
After Zhao Shouzheng took office, he was deeply distressed about this and made drastic improvements... Well, the truth is that Mr. Zhao went to the dike as soon as he arrived, and until now he has not even bothered to visit Anmin Society.
But who can blame him for having a good son who hired two Niu Boyi's aides for him?
After Xu Wenchang and Wu Cheng'en visited it once, they realized that if the environment of Anmin Society was not improved quickly, an epidemic would soon break out here.
Once the epidemic spreads, no matter whether you are a disaster victim or an indigenous person, a gentry or a pauper, everyone will be infected.
What's the point of building dikes and fighting floods? Let's run away quickly, saving our lives is the most important thing.
That could spread the epidemic to neighboring counties...
In a word, change is urgent.
The two of them quickly worked out a set of regulations, stamped them with the county magistrate's seal, and posted them in Anmin Society.
Then he summoned a group of village heads overnight and explained to them the importance of epidemic prevention!
Most of the village heads are experienced old people, so they naturally know that the two gentlemen are not exaggerating.
But it was a critical time to prevent the plum rain flood. The village heads led people to the dikes day and night to fight the flood. They really couldn't spare the energy and manpower to implement the county's regulations.
Just when I was worrying, Li Zhi, who started his dual-city life early, happened to be in Kunshan today.
He stood at the gate of the courtyard, listened to everyone's conversation, and sneered: "Xu Wenchang, you are not really smart, I think you are stupid."
"Who are you? What do you do?!" Xu Wei jumped up immediately. There was actually someone who dared to say that the 'lonely painter' was stupid. Didn't he want to stay in Kunshan anymore?
"I will keep my name and surname, Li Zhi, Li Zhuowu!" The 'crazy teacher' Li Zhi proudly replied: "In someone's words, it's 'my mother hates driving a car'!"
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Xu Wei suddenly felt that he had met his greatest enemy. He walked up to Li Zhi and stared at him coldly. "What does that mean?"
"I'm a teacher." Li Zhi sneered.
Seeing this, Wu Cheng'en covered his face and dared not look at what was happening below.
The two psychopaths in Kunshan County finally came into conflict, and Master Zhao was not around, so you can imagine the scene.
~~
As Xu Wei and Li Zhi continued to increase their aura, the village heads and chiefs in the field suddenly felt the air become a little cooler.
Finally, Xu Wei made the first move. He smiled contemptuously and said:
"Two monkeys are cutting wood in the mountains. Let's see how the little monkeys saw against each other."
"A horse is stuck in the mud, and asks the old beast how to get out of it?"
Li Zhi was not to be outdone and responded sharply.
The village heads and other headmen were all stunned and asked Mr. Wu in a low voice.
"Why did you start cursing right away?"
"One of them asked if he dared to 'make a couplet', and the other asked him to just 'set the question', not to curse." Wu Cheng'en was sweating, and embarrassedly covered up for the two of them: "We are all writers, how could we curse?"
Unexpectedly, the two of them did not give him a word, and Xu Wei spoke first:
"There are three teachers in one village and two villages, who don't know the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Principles, yet they dare to teach seven, eight or nine students. How bold!"
"Ten years and nine months, changing eight bosses, indulging in seven emotions, six desires, five poisons, and still wanting to make four hundred and thirty-two thousand, it's useless!"
Li Zhi was not a pushover either, and he immediately retorted.
He was talking about Xu Wei who had wasted half his life without achieving anything, and could not stay long with any of his employers, yet he still acted like a wealthy man and wanted more than anyone else.
"Yo?" Xu Wei leaned back tactically and jumped back, but he didn't expect to meet his opponent.
"Loyal, brotherly, chaste, filial, righteous, honest and incorruptible!" Xu Wei called Li Zhi "shameless".
"Chastity, virtue and kindness are the keys to success!" Li Zhi replied, "Immortal".
"The white goose yellow has not yet been completely shed, and yet you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
"The tortoise's shell has long been worn out. He is really cunning and sly!"
“…”
“…”
The two of them went back and forth, cursing at each other, using foul language and all kinds of tricks, which completely refreshed everyone's three views.
"Okay, I admit, they are just cursing." Wu Cheng'en really couldn't fill the hole, so he had to draw a line between himself and the two of them and said, "Usually among us scholars, there are also some weirdos like this. They are commonly known as 'gentlemen beasts'."
The village heads and captains were all impressed by him.
"Otherwise, how can we get our kids to read more? You see, when we curse people, we only say the same few words like 'fuck your mother' over and over again, but the two gentlemen haven't said a single word twice." An old village chief said with deep emotion.
"Yeah." All the village heads and captains nodded and agreed with it.
"If we were this skilled, we would scold any fool who dared to disobey us to death."
When Wu Cheng'en saw that if this continued, the customs of the people in Kunshan would be corrupted, he had no choice but to step forward and pull the two apart.
The two of them still refused to stop talking, so Wu Cheng'en had to cover his wife's mouth and asked Li Zhi: "Professor Li, you just laughed at him and called him an idiot. I think it makes sense. But do you have a solution?"
"Of course." Li Zhi raised his head proudly.
"I would like to hear the details." Wu Cheng'en asked humbly.
"..." Li Zhi fell silent.
"See, I said he was here to cause trouble, right?" Xu Wei broke free from Wu Chengen's hand and sneered, "Let's do it again!"
"Get out of here." Li Zhi waved his hands impatiently, thinking that I had almost used up all the valuable information I had, and if you continue to fight, I'll be in trouble.
Then he asked Wu Cheng'en: "What were you talking about just now..."
"Hey." Wu Cheng'en almost fell down. It turned out that this guy was so busy putting the numbers right that he forgot about the important business.
After listening to Old Wu's retelling, Li Zhi laughed out loud and said, "I remember what I was laughing at. I was laughing at your ignorance and stupidity. You have ready-made manpower but don't know how to use it."
"Where is that person?" Wu Cheng'en didn't bother to argue with this guy.
"Aren't women human beings? Aren't old people human beings? Aren't young boys human beings?" Then Li Zhi asked in return: "These village chiefs and headmen are busy, so are their wives also on the dike?"
"You mean..." Wu Cheng'en suddenly realized.
"Why not appoint their wives as Neijiazhang and Neilizhang and let them do the work?" Li Zhi laughed loudly and said, "Isn't it just cleaning, digging canals and boiling water? What can't they do?"
