Thoughts

Having been so thoroughly inspected, there could be no errors!

Zhang Ai Guo's mood also calmed down with the wave of nationwide learning. He felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief; things were finally stable. His efforts had not been in vain.

In fact, this riot had actually occurred under Zhang Ai Guo's direction. Zhang Ai Guo had carefully thought it through before implementing this plan. Moreover, only he knew about this plan; perhaps a few people who helped him with vague tasks knew something, but everyone else was completely unaware.

Of course, the higher-ups also knew about this. Otherwise, even if Zhang Ai Guo had the guts of a dragon, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. This plan was originally conceived by him alone, and he had even written the self-criticism report in advance. Only after it was approved by the higher-ups did he dare to implement it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to quickly present the self-criticism report at the meeting after this incident erupted.

When this video-based learning plan was presented to him, Zhang Ai Guo had already considered the issue. He knew that in such an era, human greed would always grow, so this video-based learning definitely needed to offer some benefits to these residents to motivate them. Only then would residents seriously study. Otherwise, merely issuing an announcement and expecting these residents to seriously study was impossible. Wouldn't it be better for those residents to use that time for farming and raising livestock at home?

Therefore, regarding this video-based learning, careful planning was still necessary. The main thing was not to cause a rebellious mentality among these residents. So, when it came to distributing benefits, caution was needed!

In the distribution of benefits, one could not only consider one's own side but also needed to prioritize the residents' interests and carefully consider their ideas. Moreover, these benefits also needed to be accepted by the residents. Therefore, in distributing benefits for video-based learning, Zhang Ai Guo needed to consider, reconsider, and then consider again. Otherwise, a slight carelessness could lead to a riot.

Of course, riots had occurred in another city, but this also put no small amount of pressure on Zhang Ai Guo. It made Zhang Ai Guo start thinking more in his work. He couldn't just do things as before.

During the moth incident, a city had indeed experienced a riot. Many residents of the entire city, disobeying government orders, suddenly fled their homes. All of this happened without warning, and at the same time... the outcome was extremely tragic. Not a single one of those residents who fled survived to the end.

As soon as they went out, for some unknown reason, the powder on the ground caught fire. This triggered a chain reaction, causing the entire city to burn. Even though the city government promptly mobilized troops to rescue the residents who had gone out and suppress the fire, they did not succeed in saving anyone. They only temporarily suppressed the fire.

The entire situation in the city was brought under government control. However, no one was saved; every life, along with the burning powder, turned to ashes and disappeared with the wind. This unexpected incident directly turned most areas of the city into ruins, devoid of human presence. A part of the entire city, from its initial bustling prosperity, transformed into a desolate, mottled wasteland, where one could often smell unpleasant odors in the air.

And the main manager of this city was, of course, dismissed and subjected to investigation. In this regard, the higher-ups acted incredibly quickly. Moreover, this city quickly replaced its main manager, and this manager also took strong measures to rectify the situation. This quickly silenced all dissenting voices in the city.

The cause of this incident was due to inadequate welfare, but the primary reason was not this. According to the government's explanation, it was the conduct of some grassroots staff members that led to these residents' resistance.

As for why they chose the time of the moth incident, according to subsequent investigations, it seemed to have been pre-arranged. These residents had also made plans in advance, knowing that these moths had no lethal power. Precisely because these moths had no lethal power, these residents thought of gathering at the government to cause trouble, to see if they could reclaim the welfare benefits they deserved, so that they could also have some food at home.

The subsequent investigation team also went to the homes of these residents to investigate. This investigation revealed that this timing was not chosen by these residents; it was just a coincidence. These residents were basically from the same area. The investigation team found no food at all in the homes of these residents; not a single household had even a little food stored.

Without stored food, they couldn't just wait at home! If, at this time, the government also told residents that these moths had no lethal power, then wouldn't these residents, who had no stored food, think of taking a gamble, just in case they could catch some food?

Zhang Ai Guo did not know the specific details of this situation; the higher-ups did not say much. Many parts, in his estimation, had probably been embellished. He did not want to pursue it; he just wanted to know if such a situation would occur in the area he managed.

In this matter, he only generally knew that the staff members of this area had colluded to commit crimes, taking away a lot of food from the residents of this area. This led to the residents of this area often not having enough to eat and frequently having to endure visits from some staff members. Enduring until the very end, they truly could not bear it anymore. The residents of this area then began to unite, wanting to go to the government. As a result, they met their own deaths.

As for how these staff members made the residents of this area voluntarily hand over food for so long, Zhang Ai Guo did not know. However, this matter, after these residents died, was also exposed.

But what good did that do? The people were all gone...

Perhaps the only good thing about this was that it made the lives of other surviving residents better! It made the residents of this city all aware of this incident. And this was limited only to the residents of this city, along with the higher-ups who knew about it.

And this incident was ultimately regarded by the government as a typical case for the main managers of subordinate areas to study thoroughly. It also required each area's main manager to submit their understanding after studying. Zhang Ai Guo also wrote a lot of documents after reviewing this incident.
