Outside Fugu City.

A donkey cart moves forward slowly...

The frail-looking young scribe sat casually.

One leg is bent and flat, the other leg is bent up, and the knees are used as a temporary desk. The right hand is holding a pen to fill in the numbers on the simple form, sometimes doing mental calculations, sometimes counting with fingers. When the data is not sure, he has to take out the abacus and fiddle with it twice.

Dozens of volumes of measured farmland data were placed beside the young scribe. Measures, standards, ropes, rules and other objects were all stored in a large bamboo basket. Ten young men in coarse linen clothes followed him silently.

Donkey cart left and right.

"What's so noisy?"

The young scribe is concentrating on proofreading the measurement data.

A few faint cries reached my eardrums.

The tune has twists and turns, which makes people feel upset and angry.

In the past few days, he got up early every day, climbed mountains and waded in rivers, and visited almost the entire Fugu City area. In order to obtain more accurate measurement data from the fields of various shapes, he worked hard, and even more after the measurement was completed.

Organizing, summarizing, filing...so busy that I sleep on the pillow every day.

Today's progress was not going well, and he was feeling annoyed.

Even after checking the data twice, there is still an error of six points.

It was hard to figure it out, but I was disturbed by noise again.

The young scribe felt a little angry.

The entourage who followed the young scribe out for measurement went out to inquire, and soon came back to tell him: "It seems to be Mr. Kang."

The young scribe put down the letter and form: "Kang Jishou?"

He is not in the city, why did he run outside the city?

Could it be that the job at hand is done?

The young man made a rough estimate of Kang Shi's workload and efficiency, calculated the approximate time, and came to the conclusion that no, even with three heads and six arms, it would be impossible to finish it in such a short time. The young scribe asked the donkey cart to stop on the road for a while, and soon it was over.

They saw Kang Shi and his party coming from the other way. The latter was riding a horse, with more than 200 people of all sizes, old and young, crowding behind them.

At the same time, Kang Shi also noticed him.

Horseback trots forward in a few steps.

He said hello: "Look at the tide."

The young scribe, Gu Chi, crossed his arms and saluted him, saying, "Ji Shou, where did your battle... come from?"

No matter how you look at it, they are just a group of ordinary people.

As soon as they approached, two or three hundred people's thoughts rushed into his mind, and Gu Chi leaned back slightly in discomfort.

Kang Shi said: "According to the Lord's order, take someone."

In just two sentences, Gu Chi roughly got the general information from the voices of these people - Kang Shi took the documents for recruiting workers from the government office and went to deceive Zhujia Village, and also gave the villagers old and young to the same pot. Now these people are feeling in their hearts

There are all kinds of vicious sentences and words to curse the new Governor Ha Yin.

Gu Chi ignored these useless noises.

He was curious about what had happened in this village that deserved his lord's anger, and even asked Kang Shi to take care of the people himself - asking Wenxin scribes to do this job, was it too much to kill a pig with a knife? You know Kang Shi

That pile of work is not finished yet.

Gu Chi guessed: "They are harboring fugitives?"

Or will a whole village rebel?

Kang Shi said: "No, this matter is difficult to explain in one sentence."

Gu Chi: "Let's talk while walking?"

Anyway, we were traveling together, so it was just time to pass the time.

Kang Shi did not refuse. He lowered his head and motioned to Yu Zi, who was following him, to sit on Gu Chi's donkey cart.

Yu Zi glanced at the wooden cart pulled by the donkey, and then at the unfamiliar young scribe in the cart, feeling somewhat hesitant to approach him.

But this is what Kang Shi meant.

Yu Zi did not hesitate for a long time.

After saluting Gu Chi, she climbed up - luckily she was thin and didn't take up much space, otherwise it would be really hard to sit on this wooden cart with almost nowhere to go - sitting upright, with a nervous and dull look on her face. Resistance to strangers.

Gu Chi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked Kang Shi who this was. Kang Shi simply told how he and Shen Tang met Yu Zi, and learned about the absurd things common in Zhujia Village from Yu Zi. , Gu Chi is not surprised.

Don't forget that he is a good reader of people's hearts.

Gu Chi raised the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Ji Shou, do you know the truth? When a cockroach comes to your feet to show off its power, the cockroach has secretly passed down the family line for more than eighteen generations, and returned to the cockroach ancestor. The ancestral hall was built."

Cockroaches are commonly known as cockroaches.

This theory sounds novel.

Kang Shi licked these words several times, and the more he thought about them, the more he felt that they were rough and unreasonable, so he asked: "Where is this proverb? It sounds playful and interesting. But isn't that the truth? These people are 'cockroaches' , children and grandchildren, endless reproduction..."

The whole village is used to this.

It's best if you can rely on the ice man to talk about marriage. If you can't talk about it, it doesn't matter. Find an acquaintance to "look at" you. It's convenient, quick and less troublesome. You don't have to worry about your natal brotherhood if you punch or kick him. Come and stand up for your mother-in-law.

What you buy is your own property.

As long as it doesn't delay the succession of the family line, it doesn't matter even if you are beaten half to death or driven crazy and stupid - as long as a woman's belly can give birth, it's fine. If she is beaten half to death, she still has half a life, right? People are crazy and stupid, but the babies they give birth to are not crazy. Silly?

Of course, it would be better if you have hands and feet to help you work, respect your parents, and take care of yourself comfortably...

Gu Chi said: "Oh, my lord said so."

Kang Shi: "..."

Gu Chi talked about the previous chat between Shen Tang and him - Gu Chi thought that Shen Tang would let Lin Feng follow Chu Yao to settle down the common people and take the opportunity to let Lin Feng gain more experience, but Shen Tang kept Lin Feng by his side and tried his best to Avoid Lin Feng’s private contact with the common people.

The reason given by Shen Tang is - not all common people are human beings, some are just beasts in human skin! These "beasts" have no moral restraints and weak rationality. The more ignorant they are, the more their behavior tends to be beasts... …

It was also after that conversation that Gu Chi began to consciously pay attention to the voices of many common people. Although some were simple, kind, and warm-hearted, there were also ignorant, greedy, evil, and those who were worse than animals...

Measuring land and dealing with these common people these days have really made him see what it means to do one thing in front of the person, another behind the scenes, one thing on the surface, and another in the back.

A weak appearance doesn't mean it's harmless.

The illusion of poverty does not mean simplicity.

When Kang Shi heard this, his brows relaxed.

Well, she is indeed the lord he likes.

Gu Chi: "..."

Tell the truth -

He always believed that the threat and lethality brought by Gong Xiqiu to Shen Tang were not as great as those brought by the scribe's way in Kang Shi. Since the time of Kang Shi, the lord began to be unlucky visible to the naked eye.

Encountering these bad literary scholars——

Life is not hard, I can't bear it.

Gu Chi skipped this topic and asked: "Zhujiacun is so rampant, it can be seen that the situation in nearby villages is also indispensable. Do we need to check house by house? The people under the jurisdiction of Fugu City may not say more, but even less is not too much. Once the news is If word spreads, most of the women who were bought will be hidden, and they can’t be hidden..."

Gu Chi swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

Those who cannot be hidden will most likely be killed.

If these women will bring disaster to the family, the best solution is either to resell them to someone who sells them, hide them, or kill them. Anyway, the child has been born, and the difference between a woman alive and a woman dead is just a few more There are still few children.

It's cruel, but it's reality.

Yu Zi listened quietly to the two gentlemen chatting.

When I heard this, my heart clenched suddenly.

She didn't expect this at all.

this will……

To alert the snake?

Gu Chi added: "To capture thieves, capture the king first, capture the traitors first, and then get information from them. However, it is recommended to impose the death penalty on traitors, and those who buy people from traitors should be postponed. Wait for those The woman was rescued and then severely tortured.”

Yu Zi secretly tightened her clothes. Kang Shi did not ignore the flash of reluctance on Yu Zi's face, and said softly: "It is true that we can't alert the snake, but everything can be changed. Who said that 'slight selling' is the only crime? Can they be punished?"

Zheng Qiao led Geng State to capture Xin State.

Without thinking about governance, a lot of mess is left.

These messes are loopholes that can be exploited. With Kang Shi's ability, you can swim in these loopholes to your heart's content!

One of them is the conflict between the laws of the two countries.

The details of the charges are different, and the sentencing standards are different.

For example, in the Xin State, a marriage only requires the consent of the parents of both parties, a banquet, and notification of relatives on both sides. However, in the Geng State, it is necessary to register with the government. If it is not registered, the relationship between the husband and wife does not count, and it is regarded as "adultery". "Argument.
