The next morning, Zhu Pingan took more than ten county government officials, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others to the northern suburbs flood refuge area.
After the common people and refugees in the northern suburbs flood refuge area had breakfast, Zhu Ping'an gathered everyone together. He stood on a high place and used a homemade loudspeaker to announce to everyone that he was going to work. Relief policy.
"Dear fellow villagers, from today onwards, Jingnan has started to implement work-for-relief. What is work-for-relief? Simply put, it is."
Zhu Ping'an just said one thing. At the beginning, a group of people and refugees in the flood shelter area below exploded.
"What? Did I hear it right? From now on, we will be asked to work and we will no longer be provided with food?!"
"Oh my god, this is not giving us a way to survive." "Ah." He kept saying that it was our parents who were in charge, but hey, he didn’t give us a way to live, and pushed us to death. Instead of starving to death, I don’t believe it. There are so many of us, and they can stop us. ”
For a time, the people and refugees below were furious, and the situation was about to get out of control.
“Fellow fellows, please don’t get excited and listen to what I have to say. We in Jingnan will no longer give out free porridge, but we will pay wages. As long as you participate in the project construction organized by the county government, the county government will give you a daily salary. You will be paid wages, no less than 20 cents per person per day. Work will be done on the same day, and payment will be made on the same day. There will never be any arrears. Even if you give me a penny, the official documents about the work-for-relief will be posted all over the city. My promises are written in black and white, and they are stamped with my seal. They are absolutely true, just like when we were fighting Japanese pirates to defend the city! If you violate your promise, you can take off the official document and go to Fucheng to report me, Zhu Pingan!”
Zhu Ping'an stood on a high place, like the Dinghai Shenzhen, holding a loudspeaker and speaking loudly to everyone.
“What? We don’t give out porridge, but we pay wages. Each person is not less than 20 cash per day?! Then it’s 600 cash per month?! And such a good thing?! I asked someone to find it before Relationship, it was not easy for Mr. Liu in the town My family found a job as a cook, and they only paid me 400 yuan a month. "Really? The magistrate is really our parent. We pay the magistrate." "Kowtow."
"Why do you still let us work? What kind of work are we doing? Are you tired? It's like giving porridge before."
"Bah, Liu Lao Nao, you are such a You lazy boy, how can there be a free lunch in the world? What do you think is in vain? It will last a lifetime. What a great thing it is to be paid for work. Each person has saved no less than 20 cents per day. The family has saved enough money to build a house. You work hard, my wife. You can also save it.”
After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, the people and refugees below were all excited. The wages were no less than 20 cents a day, and they were settled on the same day. Even if some people were cheating and trying to make trouble, they were given a good education by the people around them.
With the endorsement of the silver reward for fighting the Japanese pirates, the people have no doubts about the promise made by Zhu Pingan.
Of course, some people have also raised concerns.
“Mr. Magistrate, I have a lot of strength, so I can work for relief, but what will my mother-in-law do with my baby?! My baby is only three years old. In addition to eating, drinking and playing, , I can’t do anything.”
“That’s right, the county magistrate, my father is seventy years old, how can he go to work?”
Everyone's worries were taken into consideration by Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan comforted everyone and said, "Don't worry, these officials have considered it. The old and weak, women and children can help cook, wash and mend, collect firewood and water, etc. They can do whatever they can." Of course, everyone under ten years old will be paid the same wages for their work. Exceptions include children under the child, sick people, and elderly people over sixty years old. Even if they do not participate in the construction of the project, they can eat for free.”
After hearing Zhu Pingan’s words, the elders in the flood refuge area. The young women and children were also relieved, the county magistrate was thinking of them.
"Master Magistrate, my name is Huzi, I am eight years old this year, but I have strength, and I also want to work and get paid."
A child with a tiger head and a tiger head is in front. , not far from Zhu Pingan, boldly stretched out his hand and said.
"Bad boy, what are you talking about?" A woman was frightened when she saw her son speaking boldly. She was afraid that he would collide with Zhu Pingan, so she quickly pulled him back and scolded him. He passed it, then hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Ping'an, "Mr. Magistrate, I am ignorant."
"Sister, please get up quickly. Although your son is young, he is brave enough to take on his responsibilities. It's too late for me to praise him, so how can I blame him?" Zhu Ping'an gave the woman a hand, asked the woman to stand up, and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Huzi, right? It's good that you have this ambition. If you and other children want to participate in the work-for-relief program, you can do it. You can collect firewood, pick vegetables, and make some things. You can get paid for any work you can do, as long as you work hard. In addition, you can also eat for free."
Then, Zhu Ping'an praised Huzi in front of a group of friends. Very proud.

They are not tiring or heavy. It was dangerous, not only did they eat for free, but they also received wages. Families with children were very happy. This was an unexpected surprise for them.
“Mr. Magistrate, what kind of work are you doing with the work-for-relief program? How long will it take us to do it?”
Someone asked with concern.
“The first category is public projects related to everyone’s public interests, such as building water conservancy facilities, repairing city walls, reclaiming wasteland, etc.; the second category is post-disaster reconstruction, which is to rebuild the homes of fellow villagers and build houses. Wait; the third category is anti-Japanese fortifications, such as sentry towers, fortresses, etc. There are many projects, and the work of the folks has been hard work." Zhu Ping'an explained briefly to the crowd on the high slope through a loudspeaker.

“The county magistrate is really our Qingtian lord. These projects are all It’s for the long-term peace and stability of Jingnan.”
“We are not afraid of hard work, but we are afraid that the work will not be enough for us. Please give the order, we have long wanted to stretch our muscles.”
Everyone in the audience was very excited, with faces full of enthusiasm and eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work right away.
People’s support is available.
Zhu Pingan stood on the high slope, taking in the expressions of the people below, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Of course, there is no rule without rules, and the same goes for providing work for relief. The rules are very simple.
