Yao Aliu brought a few people to inspect the market. This is how the vegetable market looks like. You must get up early every day, discuss with people from other vegetable markets, exchange the latest information, come back to announce the price, and explain the rules. This job is not as easy as ordinary people say.

It was almost noon, and Yao Aliu and several people were preparing to drink at a nearby restaurant. He arrived at Wang Dalang's stall and said, "Brother is doing well today? Is the fourth brother already getting on the bus?"

Wang Dalang said: "Okay, everything is fine. Silang got into the car in the early morning and went to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Yao Aliu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and led the people outside. When he was about to leave the market, five or six men suddenly came towards him, pointing at Yao Aliu and said, "Yao Aliu, you are offending! Follow us to the yamen for a walk!"

After saying that, he came up to get the person without any discretion. When a few subordinates saw it, they opened up and wanted to go against the public.

Yao Aliu reached out and grabbed it, saying, "There are people in the government, just follow them. You can go back first, ask about the surroundings, and wait for my news!"

Several men stopped and watched the men take Yao Aliu with hatred, push and shovate, and head towards the city.

Wang Dalang was stunned on the side. After a while, he said to the men of Yao Aliu: "What happened? Why did you suddenly come to get people? The appearance of those people is not like the one from this county."

One person said: "I recognize them. They are from the Iron Supervision Office, not from Ye County."

As he said that, after a brief discussion, several people returned to Yao Aliu's residence together and asked someone to inquire about other markets.

Before noon, the Ye County government office was filled with people who had brought them. The officials transferred from nearby states each took the paper they received these days and took the public servants transferred from the Iron Supervisor to look for people everywhere.

Bao Ke looked at the scene, stroked his forehead and said, "Oh my God! So many people were arrested at once, when will they be tried? Zhongcheng has been doing a big deal this time! Without these people, Ye County still doesn't know what it will become!"

Wu Junyong said: "What Zhongcheng said is not wrong, but if you really want to do it, Ye County is in chaos! On weekdays, these people rely on these people to maintain the daily lives of the people. Without them in the county, it is necessary to be in chaos. Speaking of which, Zhongcheng also started it from prefectures and counties, why is this like this!"

After saying that, the two shook their heads together.

Once you have been a prefecture and county magistrate, you will know that local order is maintained, and these local dragons and snakes are not lacking. Without them to cooperate with the government, how can local order be maintained? The official organization is just to the county, and the townships below the county are servants, and can only help collect taxes. The government does not have so many people and cannot manage too many things. Of course, the small disputes among the people depend on these.

In the inn, Du Zhongxiao put down the official documents in his hand and said to Tao Shiqi: "I will return to Beijing in ten days and I will not be able to stay here for many days. Only today are officials coming to capture all kinds of monsters and monsters in the county, and I am afraid that the trial will not be completed by then."

Tao Shiqi shook his head: "Officials, I am bluntly saying that if you arrest all the strong people in the local market, they will not be stable and will inevitably be messy. Various markets, including stations and terminals, rely on these to operate normally. Ye County's business is booming, and these people have made a lot of efforts! Without them, wouldn't it be a mess?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Seventeen, do you know why this is the case in other places?"

Tao Shiqi said: "This has been the case since ancient times. The official power has not been met, so he has to rely on the people to do things."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "This is right or wrong, because there are many wrong places. In the past, the government could only manage the county town of Zhoucheng. After the city, the government only managed taxes except for cases in the countryside. It was not that they didn't want to manage it, but that the government had limited financial resources and could not manage it. Ye County is different. It has been seven or eight years since the construction of the Iron Supervision Bureau, and the local area is rich and rich. As long as the money is collected and the government hires people, why can't it be controlled? This time, if the city foxes and rats in the local area are caught, it will inevitably be in chaos. Whether it can calm down depends on the local officials."

After hearing this, Tao Shiqi sighed and said nothing. Just because the current officials only know how to follow the rules, they can do it. Du Zhongxiao thought well, but the reality is not. What they lack now is not only systems and rules, but also people.

Du Zhongxiao said: "I am the chief censor. When I arrive at a place, I can only investigate the matter and not directly reach out to care. There is no way, I can only come up with ideas. Whether the current officials can do it depends on their own luck. If not, then there is only a replacement."

Tao Shiqi said: "Officials, in fact, in my opinion, although Ye County is in chaos, it is much better than before. The people of Baitingjian have always remembered you. Now that the place is messed up, I am afraid there will be gossip."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I helped the people catch the people who oppressed them, why are there any gossip?"

Tao Shiqi said: "If these people are arrested, if the government cannot make up for them immediately, the local area will inevitably be even more chaotic. At that time, wouldn't it be said that the officials cannot see so far, and they will complain in vain?"

Du Zhongxiao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at the sun in the distance, and said, "Yes, everyone is used to this, and they think that this world should be like this. In fact, few people think about it. From the ordinary small counties in the past to the prosperous places in the world, how did Ye County do it? It depends on the iron supervision, the staff who seized the opportunity to set up a site here, and the people who worked hard in the factory, rather than the monsters and monsters who maintained order. Now Ye County is more taxable than ordinary counties in a year? With so many taxes, how can the county not afford to support people? As long as there are people, how can it not be managed well? Everything is conservative and should not come to this place."

Tao Shiqi was silent for a while and said, "Official, I say something, you may not like to listen to it, don't go to your heart."

Du Zhongxiao said: "You have been by my side for many years, and you can just say something."

Tao Shiqi said, "I first met an official, just as a young man. At that time, the officials were young and were about to do great things. Yongcheng County was so good at that time. The officials were there, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The county was not short of money and food, and we were living happily. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the officials have gone from being a small magistrate to the Chief Censor. I don't know how much the official position has been promoted. But I think that the officials are much more complicated than that time, not as relaxed as that time. When they were a magistrate in Yongcheng, they would do whatever they thought of. But now, they have to worry about this and that, but they are a little unable to let go. I think that at this time, the officials have military merits and status, and their children have gradually grown up. Many things are no longer necessary to fight as before."

Du Zhongxiao said: "As you said, what should I do when I come to Ye County this time?"

Tao Shiqi said: "It's just that Bai Xian complained. After he comes, will the case be settled?"

Du Zhongxiao heard this and shook his head slightly: "If that were the case, why would you send me here today's official family?"

Tao Shiqi was stunned for a moment and said, "The case is too big. It is probably because the officials think that only when the officials come can they find out smoothly."

Du Zhongxiao sighed and said, "It's not a big case. As long as you have confessions from Yili, you can find out the place yourself. Yes, you have been in Tiejian for several years. After a long time of stability, you don't want to make trouble. You think I'm unnecessary to do this. Actually, it's not. Tiejian and Ye County have necessarily had many problems in recent years and reported to the court. But most people are just like you think, just to maintain it. But the emperor didn't think so. He sent me here to give me an idea, what should I do here."

This is the most critical thing. It is not convenient to have such an important position as the Censor Zhongcheng for one day. Du Zhongxiao has to have an important reason for going to Ye County for more than ten days. When he became an official, many things cannot be explained clearly. When Du Zhongxiao mentioned it, the emperor immediately agreed, and there must be something the emperor wanted to do. What else can be done? Tiejian and Ye County are close to each other, and there are so many differences that the emperor needs to know the reason.

Du Zhongxiao could have thought that when something happened between Tiejian and Ye County, the Secretary of the Central Committee must have ignored it. When the emperor asked, he often used local politics as such, and this excuse was perfunctory. This time he sent him here, and the emperor wanted to hear another statement.

Du Zhongxiao was always a local official. When he suddenly went north, he made military achievements and became an important member of the court for several years. He was actually not in the same system as the current Zhongshu, the Privy Council and the Censorate. The emperor was not familiar with him, but he knew that he was an outsider. With such an arrangement, he could listen to different voices from Zhongshu, and on the other hand, he also knew himself.

If Du Zhongxiao only investigated the Bai family case this time, the emperor would not say anything, but his evaluation of himself would be reduced. Du Zhongxiao didn't want to do this. He had already paid a lot. Now is not the time to keep a low profile. The Censor Zhongcheng was just a transition, making himself familiar with the court.

Ye County was the beginning of industrialization in the Song Dynasty, which was different from other places. If the governance here is done well, it will become an example and set an example for other places. The Iron Supervisor of the Song Dynasty was not only Ye County. Du Zhongxiao wanted to have a new government governance model here that was different from other places, and to create a new era. Unfortunately, he was just a censor, and could only suggest and supervise, and not take action directly.

If the monsters and monsters in the people are arrested, the place will be in chaos, and Du Zhongxiao also knows. So what? If the local officials do not handle it well, it is only possible to replace them. Nowadays, some officials can handle it well.
