Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 508 Construction Site Safety Officer

The other craftsmen heard that Chen Feng's method had actually been used by someone before, and it seemed to have been quite a long time ago...

The man was regarded as "afraid of death" by them, and no one knew where he could find a job afterwards.

Now I think they were really stupid.

What were they thinking at that time?

——How can you be called a man if you are timid when doing things? You are just a worthless life. If God really wants it, then take it away!

But what about the reality? When facing life and death, how many people can say such words? How many people are really not afraid of death? But they just say such words for the sake of face.

Chen Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, and even listed a few additional "safety measures" for Shen Zheng to hear. Some of these measures were relatively new to Shen Zheng.

She looked at Chen Feng talking freely, and suddenly asked, "If I give you a different job to do, so that you can make up for your mistakes, would you be willing?"

Chen Feng was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and stammered, "I am now a criminal. Even if you want me to clean the toilets in the county government, I am willing to do it!"

The corners of Shen Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

Cleaning the toilet? What does that have to do with anything?

"Don't be so frivolous." She said, "As the saying goes, people can never teach you, but you can learn it once you are taught. You have experienced a life-and-death crisis today, and I believe you will pay more attention to the safety of your work in the future."

Chen Feng nodded repeatedly, "Now I feel that it is great to be alive."

It's great to see my parents again in the future...

Seeing his sincere expression, Shen Zheng said, "Then I will order you to be the safety officer for this dock construction. You will be responsible for all safety matters and facilities. If the situation today happens again, it will be all on your head. Are you willing?"

Balezhan was so stunned as he listened that he wanted to raise his hand and applaud.

What is the way to employ people?

This is the way to employ people!

Anyone who has been through life-and-death situations will certainly pay more attention to these things in the future. Moreover, Lord Shen has given Chen Feng a chance to make amends. Must Chen Feng put all his effort into doing his job well?

Chen Feng was almost knocked unconscious by this great joy, and asked with trembling lips: "Is it all my responsibility?"

Lord Shen actually trusts him so much!

"If it's not you who is responsible?" Shen Zheng asked back: "Then tell me, did you have a safety officer when you were working in the past?"

Chen Feng shook his head like a rattle.

They are the lowest-level workers, and their lives are worthless. Apart from themselves, no one else cares about their lives at all, let alone their "safety".

If you accidentally get injured while working and lose your ability to work, you will get nothing except losing your job.

Whether the work is done well and completed within the construction period is the most important thing.

But today, Lord Shen asked them to cherish their lives and even set up a security guard position specifically for them. This shows that he really cares about them!

The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more stupid he felt he was today - sometimes, people simply cannot empathize with their previous selves.

He knelt down again and thanked: "I will live up to Lord Shen's trust and protect the safety of my brothers!"

Kneeling again...

This time, Shen Zheng didn't need to speak. Ba Lezhan took the lead and said, "Young man, I will teach you something."

Chen Feng didn't know who this fat man was, but he still said respectfully: "I'm all ears."

Ba Lezhan walked around him twice, grabbed his arm and pulled him up, "The thing is, when you work under your Lord Shen, don't kneel down at every turn. She doesn't like it."

Chen Feng swayed twice before steadying himself, and looked at Shen Zheng for confirmation.

Shen Zheng chuckled and nodded: "Master Ba is right. I will be happy only if you do the job I assign to you well."

"Yes! Yes!" Chen Feng agreed repeatedly, and then suddenly thought of something: "Sir Shen, since you are making amends, I will not ask for wages for my work this time! I will explain this matter to Sir Wang."

He had worked in the first half of the year, so there was always some work before the New Year, but it was less.

Balezhan was amazed when he heard this.

Is there any work that doesn’t require payment?

If he had half of Shen Zheng's ability to control people's hearts, he would not be just a small county magistrate now.

At this time, he still didn't understand that the best way to "control" people's hearts is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

Shen Zheng was indeed a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she said, "We won't discuss the wages for now. After the dock is built, we will decide based on your performance. After all, you will not be short of food and accommodation."

How could Chen Feng feel embarrassed about this? He wanted to argue again, but Shen Zheng didn't give him a chance and turned around and left.

"Sir Shen!" Chen Feng didn't dare to chase her anymore. He could only look at her back and shout, "Sir Shen, I will definitely live up to your trust and... wish you peace and success!"

He thought it might be nice if he could stay in Tongan County to celebrate the New Year this year.

Not only Ba Lezhan, but even Diwu Tanwei and Fang Wenxiu were all surprised at the way Shen Zheng handled the situation today - this was a way they would never have thought of, but it was also the best way.

"Let's go, we have to go back." Shen Zheng walked in front, hugging her arms and rubbing them.

She looked back at the dam - Chen Feng, who was full of enthusiasm, the craftsmen who were digging the bank with lingering fear, and a group of people who were busy working.

She wants to see and remember everyone's contribution to Tongan County. Even though they are not from Tongan County, they are now part of Tongan County.

Several carriages were still parked there waiting for them. Shen Zheng felt a slight pain in her head from the wind, so she quickened her pace and walked to the carriages.

"This is..." When she came closer and looked at the car board, she was puzzled.

Fresh vegetables were lying quietly on the cart, surrounded by them...a few pieces of pickled meat, which looked very similar to the pickled meat baked next to the earthen kiln.

"You're finally back!" Yu Shizhang poked his head out of the car, looked her up and down, and asked in confusion, "Why did you take so long? What happened?"

Shen Zheng shook her head and nodded, "I'll tell you later. These meat dishes..."

"Don't you already know where it came from?" Yu Shizhang pursed his lips. "The villagers gave it to me. They came over like thieves, tiptoed over, put it on the car and ran away."

Shen Zheng looked at the pieces of meat, each weighing about four or five taels.

Four or five taels of meat is enough for a family to eat for several meals!

She subconsciously blamed him, "You were staying in the car, why didn't you ask them to take it back? It's ok to take the vegetables, but how can you take the meat?"

"You actually blame Uncle Ben?" Yu Shizhang was displeased and began to make up a story: "They said that if Uncle Ben dared to show his head, they would beat him up."

Shen Zheng: "...What a bunch of 'troublemakers'."

Yu Shizhang laughed and kindly moved the meat and vegetables aside to leave room for her to step.

"Actually, they said that every household had a share. I calculated that there were hundreds of households in Xiahe Village. After all, no one contributed much, so we just took it..."

He looked at the bacon and swallowed secretly.

I don’t know what the meat pickled by the people of Tongan County tastes like.
