The people of Gutian County were surprised to find that overnight, a notice with bright red seals of the county magistrates were posted at the traffic intersection of the county town and where the crowds gathered. The county magistrates of Gutian County had changed many positions, but they rarely issued such public notices. Because the previous county magistrates were empty-handed and no one listened to the government orders, these county magistrates were naturally too lazy to waste paper, pen and ink, so this was also a rare thing for the people of Gutian, and immediately attracted the attention of the people.

There are not many ordinary people who know how to read in this era, but naturally there are also "scholars" who have been to learn and learn to write for a few years but have not been able to get a fame and fortune, because only at this time can they show their respect for "scholars". At this time, in front of a notice at the gate of the city, a "scholar" in a long gown was shaking his head and reading the notice written by Guo Zhiyuan. Around him, there were many ordinary people watching the fun three layers inside and three layers inside. "Justice of the Peace" was a new term for them, which naturally caused their heated discussions immediately.

"What is this Justice of Peace? It sounds quite majestic. Anyone who abides by laws and regulations on the contrary is qualified to run for the election. In other words, I can also choose this Justice of Peace, haha!..." A stout man with dark skin in the crowd laughed.

Someone immediately scoffed at him: "Tsk, Chen Heipi, you don't urinate and look at yourself. Even if you are like this, you want to choose a Justice of Peace? Be your dream of spring and autumn!...", and the people next to you also burst into laughter.

Chen Heipi was blushed with a smile, and replied with a stutter on his neck: "Why can't I choose the Justice of Peace? The announcement is clearly stated. Anyone who abides by laws and regulations on the spot is qualified to run for the election and has also been stamped with the seal of the county magistrate. Can the county magistrate keep his word?!..."

At this time, the man in the long robe who shook his head and read the announcement could not listen. He glanced at Chen Heipi and sneered: "Being qualified does not mean you can choose it! The announcement also said that if you want to choose the most contributions among the people, what contributions do you have? You don't know a big word and want to be a Justice of the Peace? It's ridiculous!"

Chen Heipi didn't dare to argue with the man in the long gown, and smiled awkwardly: "I'll just say that, but our master can choose. If you want to make contributions, who is the master of my family?!" The master Chen Heipi mentioned is the head of the Chen family. Chen Heipi is a tenant of the Chen family, so he brought the head of the Chen family out to save face.

But after he said this, the man who had previously been snatched up was not happy. The man was named Sun Changshun, who was the helper of the Sun family. He immediately shouted: "Fuck! If you want to make great contributions, you have to belong to our Master Sun!..."

Chen Heipi immediately responded without showing any weakness: "You are the damn fart! Can your Sun family compete with our Chen family? Half of Gutian County belongs to our Chen family!..."

There were also many tenants and helpers of the Sun family and Chen family, who stood up and scolded each other, but they almost started fighting. No one noticed that Zhang Cheng was wearing a hat covering half of his face, and was quietly writing and painting on a piece of paper. There were several grids on it, with words such as "number of supporters", "number of oppositions", and "reason", which were exactly the public opinion survey form given to him by Guo Zhiyuan. In addition to doing the previous work of Dian Shi Lu Zhichao, Guo Zhiyuan also handed over the intelligence collection work to him.

Such a scene also happens in other places. Of course, for ordinary people, this incident actually has little impact. It only gives them more topics of conversation after dinner. However, through their discussions, this incident will naturally reach the ears of the gentry. Moreover, this incident has another effect, which is to let the people of Gutian County know that the county magistrate has replaced the people, and the new county magistrate is Guo Zhiyuan!

Wang Demin, who has been paying attention to Guo Zhiyuan's every move, naturally knew about this matter, but he just curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "This Guo Zhiyuan is really crazy about money. He thought that he could raise money by making a fair reputation of a Justice of Peace. I specially asked someone to go to Jingshanting for a day today. There was no one who recommended himself. His wishful thinking was destined to fail!..."

Bai Du, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, naturally he could not be as short-sighted as Wang Demin. In fact, as soon as Guo Zhiyuan's announcement came out, he knew that his previous arrangements had failed. The electoral system of the Justice of Peace introduced by Guo Zhiyuan, those gentry could not be moved. How many people in the world could not be moved by fame and fortune? Those gentry did not lack money, but they were short of fame and name, and could only be included in the "County Chronicles" to leave their names throughout the ages. What's more, they could enjoy the privilege of not kneeling when they came to the court to meet officials, and had the power to participate in the trial of civil cases, inspect prisons, and report unfair affairs. How could those gentry not flock to them?!

As for Wang Demin, it is even more ridiculous that there is no one who recommends himself in Jingshanting. How could those gentry recommend themselves in this way? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they didn't choose? They would definitely seek Guo Zhiyuan privately to collude with him. The next thing is nothing more than bargaining. Guo Zhiyuan will definitely be able to raise money, but it's just a matter of how much.

The most terrifying thing is that even though he knew Guo Zhiyuan's purpose, he didn't know how to stop it, because this was a dignified open plot! Guo Zhiyuan offered conditions that the gentry could not refuse, so he could not stop the gentry's support for Guo Zhiyuan. It seems that he underestimated the young county magistrate. Such skills may not be made even if he is a veteran in the officialdom. However, Bai Du did not feel depressed, but was a little excited. Only such an opponent was challenging and worthy of his serious dealing with Bai Du!

The gentry was indeed moved, but Guo Zhiyuan took the initiative to visit them before, but they did not give Guo Zhiyuan any good looks. Now they asked them to go backwards and ask Guo Zhiyuan, which was somewhat indifferent, so most of them were still waiting and watching to see if anyone responded to the selection system of the Justice of Peace that Guo Zhiyuan had.

Soon, the first gentry to find Guo Zhiyuan to collude. This person was named Yang Dongcheng, the boss of Cuiyulou and Fuguifang in the county town. When you hear these two names, you should know what business he is in. Yes, he runs a prostitute, a casino and a casino! These two are very rich businesses, but both businesses are non-stop and cannot be used. Therefore, although Yang Dongcheng is rich, he has a bad reputation among the gentry and does not have a high status. This is why he is so eager to come to Guo Zhiyuan first.
