The rainy season in Yongzhou is either raining or cloudy. The clouds in the sky are not thick, gray and white covering the entire sky. The sun has never appeared since the morning, and the world looks lifeless.

In the restaurant by Zuojiang River, Wei Zhizhou, Jiangzhou, was in a good mood and laughed never stopped.

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, smacked his lips and savored it for a while, put down the wine glass and said, "This spirit is better than the one in the capital. What kind of white wine produced in the sugar commerce tastes? Can you drink it?"

County Magistrate Luo Baihuang said: "You don't know. I heard that the best spirits in the capital come from the Xu family, which is our Xu family, who is from the magistrate. His family brews all good wines, but when he gets here, he deliberately makes some unpleasant wine to fool us barbarians. Haha--"

"We Shangguan, a young man, has been promoted all the way and has been smooth sailing. In recent years, he has never known his surname. A young man dares to say anything big, but he was shocked to me when he recruited us last time. He wanted to catch Huang Conggui in a month, otherwise—"

Wei Zhizhou leaned over the table, imitating Xu Ping's appearance with a stern face. He looked at everyone and turned around and laughed: "Haha, I'm so scared that I can't eat well this month, but I can't sleep well this month! I'm almost two months now, so it's not a big deal!"

After saying that, he drank the full glass of wine in one sip.

Huang Zhixian said: "This time he swallowed his words back to see if he still has the face to shout at us in the future! Alas, it's a pity that this place--"

Wei Zhizhou was also hated and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we used to take care of this place, but we had to spend dozens of cents of money a month. Now we all return to Taiping Village. I'm angry when I think about it! One day, this young official is traumatized here, and it's ours!"

Huang Zhixian nodded and said yes, and had a cup with Wei Zhizhou.

Shen Chengrong, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Huang Tianbiao, who was holding his head down and shook his head. They were different from Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian County, and had a deeper relationship with Xu Ping. Xu Ping was defeated and they were not feeling well.

Huang Tianbiao kept drinking. He heard Wei Zhizhou and Huang Zhixian become more and more arrogant. He couldn't help but say, "You two should not talk about Shangguan behind your back. If it spreads, you are afraid you will suffer."

"He - what kind of trouble he caused us?" Huang Zhixian looked at Wei Zhizhou and exaggeratedly, "Can we be called to scare us again? It's so scary, I'm so scary! Haha -"

The two laughed together.

Wei Zhizhou said to Huang Tianbiao: "Prince Huang, you met Xu Ping Tongzong many years ago. Your relationship with him is no better than that of us. You have made a lot of money in the past two years, so don't sue us!"

Huang Tianbiao said in a muffled voice: "You are happy today. One day, things are on the head, don't say I didn't remind you. I have known the magistrate for many years and have never seen him say empty words. I don't believe this exception!"

Magistrate Wei and Magistrate Huang shook their heads and just laughed, how could they pay attention to Huang Tianbiao?

In the Sugar Service Training Department, Xu Ping sat on the chair and quietly looked at the document in his hand.

The document is a national decree compiled in the seventh year of Tiansheng. It is based on the Tang Dynasty's laws and regulations, and divides the current and unchanged provisions after modification. With the current interpretation, it was not printed and promulgated until this year.

This is the first law printed and issued in China, which was later called "The Heavenly Holy Order". It is of great significance, marking that the Song Dynasty no longer uses the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and also marking that the difference between good and cheap law is basically gone.

Xu Ping did not know the historical significance of the document in his hand, and the provisions were nothing new. Most of them had been implemented long ago. Now he is just a collection of many scattered contents into a book to facilitate officials to learn and remember. The most important content of the examination for the magistrate's term and returning to the capital was the legal provisions. Xu Ping did not know which bastard formulated the rules, nor did he know the meaning of this. The magistrate's term mainly manages money and grain, but he has to take the law and order after the magistrate's term is full. Could it be to prepare for being a magistrate? Then the magistrate got the exam before taking office.

There is nothing I can do if I don’t understand, Xu Ping still has to recite and study honestly.

Another meaning of this document to Xu Ping is the movable type printing technique used when printing. Since he used movable type to compile a short record of the same year, this technology has not been kept secret, and later he simply presented it. The court used it for convenience. Most documents have been used in recent years. Only then did the court remember that they should give Xu Ping a reward, but it was nothing more than adding a first-rank official. As a result, Xu Ping was promoted year by year with his own political achievements, and it was a bit dazzling to add him, so he added it to Xu Ping's father Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng was promoted earlier than Xu Ping, and he finally got promoted to the next level with his son for so many years.

Not far away, Duan Yunjie and Xiuxiu were typing. Xu Ping and Han Zong took some articles from the new version of the law. They were mainly used in daily life that were closely related to the local area and prepared to print out the booklet and send it.

Xiuxiu is still the same, she is dull and rarely speaks. Her eyes are gone. She often looks at a place in a daze. She often has nightmares at night, and suddenly wakes up. She is like wood on the bed, and she can sit until dawn when she sits.

Afraid of something happening to Xiuxiu, Duan Yunjie moved over to live with her, and then she realized that she couldn't even understand whether Xiuxiu was sleeping or waking up at night. Whenever she went to bed, Xiuxiu would lie on the bed honestly, sometimes with her eyes open, sometimes with her eyes closed, but sometimes with her eyes closed, sometimes with her eyes awake, and sometimes with her eyes open.

Without anyone around, Xiuxiu would sit alone, and she could sit in one position for a long time until someone came to greet her, and she would stand up hunchedly, and she would do whatever others told her to do.

Duan Yunjie tried to chat with Xiuxiu, and she sat there quietly listening, not knowing whether she heard it or not, and her expression did not change. Occasionally, a word popped up was also wild and irrelevant.

Finally, Duan Yunjie realized that she had to arrange things for Xiuxiu constantly and not let her rest. When she had something to do, Xiuxiu was very serious, as if she could completely forget the outside world. Sometimes she could even say a few normal words, such as asking: "Sister, what should this be done?"

Of course, most of the time she still thought about it herself. She could not find a word and she could search all the places. She would not be impatient if she searched for it for most of the day, so she kept searching for it.

Someone asked, "Xiuxiu, what are you looking for?"

Xiuxiu replied blankly, "What words are I looking for, why can't I find them?"

Others answered: "The word Xiuxiu is in the used version, and there are no other places."

Xiuxiu nodded, took down the old version and continued to do things.

Xu Ping was a little annoyed when Xiuxiu and Xu Ping used to be a little annoyed. He had tried many times to discipline her, but he could not take time. In fact, Xu Ping didn’t know how to discipline her. Not having time was just an excuse for herself in her heart.

Xu Ping finished reading one volume of the rules and took another volume in his hand. He was about to open it and read it, but he saw Han Zong hurried in from outside.

After saluting in front of Xu Ping, Han Zong said: "Prime Minister, the court approved the memorial last month. The Secretariat will follow the text and everything will be correct!"

Hearing Han Zong's words, Xu Ping stood up from the chair, took the document handed over by Han Zong, read it carefully, and held it in his hand.

More than a month passed, Huang Conggui disappeared, and Xu Ping did not move at all. There were inevitably rumors outside, mocking Xu Ping for not knowing the height of the world. These words also came to Xu Ping's ears, and he pretended that he had not heard it and did whatever he should do, as if he had said nothing a month ago.

Xu Ping was waiting for the reply to his memorial. In order not to be rejected, he even wrote a private message to Prime Minister Lu Yi, detailing the process of the matter, the situation in Yongzhou, the consequences and benefits of doing so. He also sent letters to those who were more familiar to him in the same year, asking them to help build momentum. In the fifth year of Tiansheng, in addition to the top scholar Wang Yaochen, there were several other Jinshi who had already made their mark, such as Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Zeng. These people had already gained weight when speaking together.

After all the efforts, I finally waited for the news that I had all approved.

This result is entirely upheld by Lu Yijian, suppressing all the opposition, so that in the eyes of many people, Xu Ping has become Lu Yijian's man, and in fact the two have no selfish relationships.

The contents of the memorial include the following:

First, Xu Ping and the prefect Feng Shenji divided the work of Xu Ping and the prefecture Feng Shenji. Feng Shenji also promoted the matter of Zuojiang Daoxidong, and Feng Shenji was in charge of the affairs of the governing prefectures and counties. When Cao Keming was appointed as the prefecture, he also recommended the matter of Xidong in the entire Yongzhou. Feng Shenji was also inspecting the three prefectures of Yong Qinlian, and did not take this position. Now it is clear. At this time, Xu Ping's official position was no longer under Feng Shenji. The magistrate's duties were basically represented by the judge. Xu Ping only held the seal and seal to grasp the major affairs of the state. This division of labor would not make it difficult for Feng Shenji.

The second is to imitate Feng Zheng's story in Duanzhou during the Chunhua period. The two rivers on both sides of Yongzhou, except for Tianzhou and Bozhou and its surrounding small prefectures and counties, all of them have implemented the "expanding the term" method. Since then, all subordinates, servants and the people of Titu have been incorporated into the court, and slaves can only be hired, and those who have plundered people as slaves. In civil litigation, all the officials of the prefectures and county courts shall decide, and local officials shall no longer have this power. If the people of Tuzhou and Tuzhou are dissatisfied with the trial, they are allowed to sue the prefectures and county towns at the highest level, and local officials are not allowed to stop them.

The third Taiping Village was changed to Taiping County, and the original official affairs of Gousucrose Affairs was the magistrate. The newly established Taiping County has tens of thousands of households, which are directly Shangxian County, and are also magistrates. Duan Fang is no longer comparable to Ruhe County when he was in Ruhe County.

The fourth Taiping County commanded the two commanders of the Zengxiang Army, recruited in Fujian, and arrived in Yongzhou three months later. The money and grain required were transferred from sugarcane to Fujian Road with flying tickets.

The fifth commander of the soldiers in Zeng Township, Taiping County was recruited from local strong men, and the township military service could replace the officers. The two commanders gave the soldiers of the township numbers, flags, and teaching the prefectures and counties.

The sixth set up the Taiping Army, which was in charge of the troops and horses of his subordinates, and was appointed as the envoy of the Taiping Army.

Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. The clouds were already thicker and wind blew again. The shape of the clouds changed thousands of times, just waiting for a thunder to turn into rain and fall.

(There is another update tonight, which may be later.)

Note: The Song Dynasty had two types of military troops. One was the same as the prefecture, and the chief officer was the magistrate army, and the general manager was the military and civil affairs, which was equivalent to the Xiazhou. The other was the same as the county, and the chief officer was the military envoy, and the military and political affairs. The magistrate or county magistrate, unless it led troops to inspect the military, it was not in charge of regular troops. The two armies were unified in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and they were only separated after the middle of the Renzong Dynasty. Those who were on the same level as the prefecture were called military officers, and those who were on the same level as the county were called military officers. Generally, the magistrates and military officers were also collectively called military officers. Due to the times, the book was collectively called military officers, and officials of higher-level magistrates were also called military officers, rather than military officers.
