What Tang Lu is most worried about is the destruction of relationships. It is not a problem with the cow, but a problem with the people. If a cow fights, it doesn't matter if one dies and the other is injured. But if a person is hurt, it will be troublesome.
There is also a cow that admits death, and a stubborn cow means that the most stubborn cow in the world is a cow.
Tang Lu said: "You have a very good relationship. If it is damaged, it will be very troublesome. It will be very difficult to repair. It's just that the two of you were negligent for a moment. You were too careless and too confident. You let the cows fight each other and did not pull the cows apart. But
, it is difficult to break up a fight with an angry bull. You are all responsible. If there is a loss, it is fair and reasonable for everyone to share it. This case is not a case. Since it has been filed with the county government, you must give an explanation. Your friendship will last forever.
Don't let small things lead to big losses. I would like to advise you to make peace with each other, put aside the past grudges, and make peace as before."
The two looked at each other, not knowing how to reply.
When Tang Lu saw that the two of them were not talking, he wrote: "
Two oxen confront each other and refuse to give in,
Either dead or alive, really hurt,
Live cattle plowed two fields together,
Dead cow sharing comes in handy.”
After Tang Lu finished writing, he said to the two of them: "This is the verdict. Do you two understand it? If you understand it, handle it according to the verdict and comply with it. If you are not clear, you can complain again. The Yamen opens to the south. If you have reason, then
Come in. Don’t make any nonsense, go home and live a good life.”
After hearing the verdict, Sha Dong and Shi Xi thought it was okay and considered fair and reasonable, so they thanked Tang Lu. The two of them still felt weak and returned to the state before the lawsuit was filed. They left the court and went back to divide the beef.
Everyone was happy. During the spring plowing period, they had delicious beef to enjoy. Shixi's cows were a year older and couldn't be beaten in a fight. They would only be eaten.
This cow is the lifeblood of farmers. Without cows in the countryside, people will suffer. Farm work is very heavy, and it is impossible to do it without cows.
Or Li Zhuang.
Shanan is a farmer in the village and is a cousin to Shadong. In the morning, he went to the cattle pen to fetch the cows and went to work in the fields. When he saw the big cattle plowing the field, they vomited blood, and their mouths were bloody.
The ground was covered with blood. It seemed that the big scalper's life was hanging by a thread and it was very dangerous.
He took a closer look and saw that the cow's tongue had been cut off with a sharp knife. He felt very distressed and felt like a knife. He cried again and again, with tears streaming down his face and his voice changed. He even swallowed hard and asked someone to write a complaint, and then
So he went to the county government office, beat drums and complained, demanding that the case be solved and the murderer traced.
Tang Lu looked at the lieutenant and thought, this is really rare. I have only heard of cattle thieves, but I have never seen one who has not stolen cattle. And a thief who only wants cattle tongue is really rare in the world. This thief may like to eat cattle tongue.
, However, this is too immoral. The cow has no tongue, and will bleed to death, and the loss will be huge. This is worse than stealing the whole cow. The key is that the mentality is unhealthy and abnormal. A good and strong cow,
Without tongue, it is very painful, and then let the cow die slowly. Such people are very hateful and are a cancer in society. They must be removed, otherwise, society will get sick and eventually die.
Tang Lu had an idea and immediately thought of a way.
So, he said to Shanan: "It seems that this strong big ox will not survive and will die soon. Instead of doing this, it is better to kill it early and sell the beef as soon as possible. The county government will support you with a little money."
, after you take the money, go buy another cow, because now is a good time to use cows to work in the fields. Missing the good season will affect the year's income. Go quickly, and someone will give it to Shanan.
Ten taels of silver."
Shanan wiped her tears and touched her ears again. She almost didn't believe what she saw and heard. Since ancient times, people have to use money to complain. I didn't expect that now you don't need money to complain, but you will get money instead. How is this?
What's going on?
Suspicion is suspicion. It is indeed interesting that someone got a lot of money.
Shanan went back to deal with his big cattle.
Then, Tang Lu immediately ordered people to post an announcement:
Attention all residents within the jurisdiction of this county, in order to ensure the normal and orderly progress of spring plowing production, we are particularly reminded to protect the plowing cattle. The plowing cattle are very important. Spring affects the harvest of the year, and the plowing cattle are an important part of spring plowing. You must not
The missing link is that during the spring plowing period, private slaughter of cattle is strictly prohibited, because the role of cattle during spring plowing cannot be ignored, and private slaughter of cattle is a serious illegal act. If a cattle is sick, you must consult a cattle doctor.
Diagnose and treat the sick cow, and report the diagnosis and treatment truthfully. If the diagnosis and treatment are ineffective, it needs to be reported to the county government. After inspection and confirmation, it will be slaughtered. If it is slaughtered without inspection, it will be severely punished. Those who slaughter cattle without authorization will be fined.
Ten taels of silver. If someone reports and catches someone who slaughters a cow without authorization, he will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver. This notice will take effect immediately.
The day after the announcement was made, people came to claim the reward.
The person who came was none other than Shanan's neighbor, named Shi Mao.
Shi Mao said: "Master, I came to report that my neighbor Shanan did not comply with the provisions of the county government notice and slaughtered his own cattle without authorization during the ban. When I found out, I came to report it immediately. I hope the master will investigate.
.”
When Tang Lu saw it, he thought it was amazing!
Doesn't Shimao know about the difficulties Shanan encountered? His big scalper's tongue was cut out, and the bad guys are still at large! Shanan's family is not a wealthy family, but they are very good at housework. They are very good at the big scalper.
The heart is very good, and the big ox has also made a lot of contributions. It works hard in plowing, and is docile and obedient. It is a good cow. This ox was bought by Shanan from other places. It is a good breed and it is a bull. In addition to plowing and raking,
In addition to the fields, you can also provide seed services to other cows.
It can be said that the big yellow cattle are an excellent breed, which is very attractive to local farmers. Some farmers are not afraid of the hard work to drive the cows over the mountains, and ask Shanan for help. Even if they say they are helping, the help is not in vain. Shanan gets a lot of gifts.
This gave Shanan a sense of accomplishment. He felt that getting a big scalper meant that he had the vision to choose a good cow. It has various functions and is admirable.
His big scalper is famous far and wide, and of course there are some jealous people who secretly hope that his big scalper will die. Shanan is not rich and does not like to show off himself, because becoming famous can easily arouse the jealousy of others, which can lead to
Hatred, even killing or harming.
It is common to hate people who are rich and laugh at people who are poor. Tang Lv knows this very well. The big ox has become a big tree in Shanan. Big trees can attract the wind. When the tree is big, it is easy to attract the wind. Some people wish that Shanan could live in poverty.
The poorer and more miserable people are, the happier they are. As long as they live a good life, for example, if other people don’t have cattle, even if they do, they are not good cattle. For Shanan,
Not only does he have cattle for farming, but he also has breeding cattle and large oxen. This would arouse public outrage in rural areas. Although they all beg for oxen, they start cursing after using them. I wish they had Shanan's large oxen.
Dead or disabled, Shanan will end up worse off than anyone else, which makes them happy. Their goal is to eliminate all the rich people in the village and make everyone poor, almost the same, so that everyone can live a poor life together.
Only then can everyone feel more comfortable. If they see Shanan doing well, everyone will be jealous.
Tang Lu thought to himself, doesn't this person named Shi Mao know that Shanan's cow has its tongue cut off? If he knew, Shanan's family had a disabled cow that was about to die.
Shimao shouldn't be meddling in other people's business and focus his main energy on how to do a good job in spring plowing. He doesn't care about spring plowing, but has a soft spot for reporting others. It seems that his lifelong pursuit is to punish people.
Treating people like this is very interesting and can continue.
Tang Lu guessed that this idle guy came prepared and just wanted to move Shanan down.
He didn’t know something that everyone in the village knew!
Shanan's slaughter of cattle complies with the announcement and is allowed, but Shi Mao came to report it. It seems that he is not a kind person and wants to frame a good person. This person obviously has a grudge against Shanan and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Shanan or surrender Shanan.
Go to prison, eat prison food, let him suffer, and then bribe the jailer to kill him in prison to achieve his goal.
Who has such a big hatred?
It's Shimao.
Tang Lu planned to let people go out to find the person who reported or complained. Once found, the person who cut the cow's tongue can be detected.
Tang Lu ordered Shi Mao to be taken down and interrogated. When Shi Mao saw it, he panicked and quickly said that the accusation was wrong.
However, it was too late. He had to be punished for falsely accusing Shanan.
Tang Lu asked: "Have you confessed anything? If so, the punishment can be reduced. I originally slapped you with forty strokes, but you can lose twenty strokes."
This is not simple.
If you save thirty pieces, you might save a life.
He kept saying: "Sir, if I am willing to confess and surrender, will I be exempted from having to make a decision if I surrender and confess?"
"Tell me, why do you want to surrender?"
"The Shanan family's big ox has a small cut tongue," Shimao said.
"Oh, why do you want to cut off the big ox's tongue? Does Shanan have any grudge against you?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, sir, we have a grudge. The big scalper always steals the small family's crops. Also, the big scalper always bullies the small family's bull. Every time we meet, the big scalper will attack the small family's bull. Every time we meet, the big scalper will attack the small family's bull.
The bull from the second smallest family lost and never won. The younger one felt very humiliated. Every time he went to Shanan and asked him to take care of the big bull, he not only ignored it, but also scolded the younger one. The younger one was full of anger.
There is no place to go out, and if you want to fight with Shanan, you will always be defeated. If you can't do it openly, you can only do it secretly, and if you can't conspire, you can only conspire." Shi Mao said.
"These are all small things. Why do you do this?" Tang Lu asked.
"Sir, what may seem like a small matter to you, may seem like a big deal to the rural people there. Nothing is a small matter, because everything is related to personal face and dignity. These are all very important.
Without face, it is difficult to move forward." Shi Mao said.
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
"Yes. Shanan has become rich and powerful in recent years, but he looks down on others. The villagers hate him. He no longer comes to visit the long-term and short-term workers during the holidays. It's okay if the short-term workers don't visit them. After all, they work long hours.
Short-term workers don’t have much contribution, so short-term workers don’t comment. Why don’t even long-term workers come to take a look? It’s not like his father, Lao Sha. His father, Lao Sha, is not like this. Lao Sha, Shanan’s father, used to celebrate the New Year.
During the holidays, everyone would bring gifts to the long-term workers to wish them a happy new year. At that time, Shanan also followed. He was influenced by his father at a very young age and should continue to maintain this habit. However, Shanan forgot that this habit that had been followed for many years was abolished.
Yes. This hurts the hearts of the long-term workers. If this continues, the long-term workers will not work well and they will still be paid. If they are not paid, they will leave immediately. Lao Sha knows how to be a good person and should be extra careful with these long-term workers.
, treat with caution, and must give the benefits that are due, otherwise, the work efficiency cannot be improved to a certain level."
"You are saying that Shanan treats long-term workers badly, what does this have to do with you?" Tang Lu asked.
"Because my younger uncle is a long-term worker. He often talks about the good things about Lao Sha, but Shanan can't do it, not even one-tenth of what Lao Sha can do. As long as Shanan is more considerate, then things will
It will be much easier to handle. Not only will there be no enemies, but there will be many more benefactors.”
"This is a different management method between two generations. It is understandable. It is other people's family affairs and has nothing to do with you."
"Master, I know that this has nothing to do with me. However, it is related to my relatives indirectly. Regarding those problems, I have also observed that Shanan looks down on people like me at all.
, since he looks down on him, then let him look down on him. Anyway, the little one has nothing to ask him for. It’s just that his attitude is annoying, so he has to find a way to get revenge on him. You know, what he feels most distressed about is the big one.
If scalper destroys his favorite, then it will most likely hit him hard and he will no longer be proud." Shimao said.
"The same goes for you. I have no grievances against you, but you just take it out on the big scalper, and then say that his father is so good and his generation is so bad. Is it true that one generation is inferior to the other? These are all secondary.
"The important thing is how to make Lizhuang a truly good place. We can really make it a place with outstanding people and abundant resources," Tang Lu said.
"Sir, the little one has already realized his mistake and regrets cutting out the tongue of the big ox. There was nothing wrong with the big ox, but the fault lies with the owner. To be honest, the little one was heartbroken when he saw how beautiful Shanan was wearing gold and silver.
I felt envious. However, I immediately started to hate Shanan. If I didn't hate it, it would be as if the day's work had not begun. People started working in hatred. Especially for those who were wealthy, everyone hated them, even if the wealthy people did not speak.
, is all a kind of disdain. I always feel that their money is not clean. A noble person cannot be forgiven by the poor if he is not down to earth. The poor have been suspicious of the rich since ancient times, unless the relationship between the two lasts for hundreds of years.
, many people don’t want to be poor, but there are always people who are in trouble and need help. When the poor turn over and become rich, they will be hated immediately, unless they don’t know it. But those who seek revenge are always there.
If you are not careful, you will attack the rich people, that is, those rich people who do not know how to behave and will face a lot of criticism." Shi Mao said. This chapter has been completed!
