Chapter 84 The Tigers Enter the Wolves (2)
The sun in the sky was pale, and even it seemed to be about to be roasted. The scorching sun shone over the sky, and the clothes on its body were about to melt. The exposed skin was even more painful as if it was pricked by the sun. The stone slabs on the road under its feet were hot, and the soles of the shoes were soft, and the rain accumulated two days ago began to steam, and the legs were like steaming in a steamer.
In such bad weather, Wei Zhizhou walked towards the new Taiping County Government with a gloomy face.
The magistrate Luo Baihuang was next to him, his face pale, as if he had heatstroke, and he lowered his head and just walked. In just a few days, the two of them lost the energy they had in the restaurant that day.
Huang Tianbiao walked side by side with Shen Anlu, leisurely and contented.
Shen Anlu looked at the two people in front and asked Huang Tianbiao in a low voice: "County lieutenant, this time, our two tribe members are included, why are you not in a hurry at all?"
"What's there to be anxious?" Huang Tianbiao seemed to be serious. Shen Chengrong was not there, so he picked up the style of the elders teaching the younger generation. "How many tribesmen do we have in the two families? Besides, most of those tribesmen are already doing work in sugar business. What's the difference between the ones or not?"
"Yes." Shen Anlu nodded obediently. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so stable with Huang Tianbiao. This time the implementation of the Gangfa effect on both of them had little impact, and it was not their turn to have a headache.
Huang Tianbiao slowly said: "Besides, our Shangguan Xu Tongzong sometimes does things a little more harshly, but he never cheats people. Including our barbarians, there will definitely be some compensation."
"Is the county magistrate who says we can still make a profit with others?"
"What are we going to make a bargain? Are we supposed to get it!" Huang Tianbiao said in a pretentious manner, looking around and attaching it to Shen Anlu's ear: "We are our own people, and we will not lose our own people."
Shen Anlu nodded and his face became relaxed. He was more qualified than Huang Tianbiao when he talked about his own people. Now Duan Fang is the magistrate of Taiping. In a sense, he is his brother-in-law, and there is still a closer relationship than this? Unfortunately, Huang Conggui, who was killed by the sky, has never been heard from, otherwise the relationship would have been confirmed.
Shen Anlu didn't know that it was because Ashen was not here that Duan Fang became the magistrate of Taiping, otherwise Shen Dong would have been under his rule, and according to the law of avoidance, Duan Fang would not be the turn of Duan Fang.
There were several servants at the entrance of the county yamen who were painting white walls and there were drums next to them. This place turned out to be the Zhizhai Hall of Taiping Village. Zhizhai only managed the stationed troops and did not care about civil affairs. There was no necessary equipment for these Yamen. In fact, it was not just this new county yamen, but also the entire Taiping Village subordinates, including the barbarians, who were building these facilities in the mainland.
In addition to relying on the countryside, the most important channel for the transmission of government orders in the Song Dynasty was the Baibi at various villages, towns and important intersections. Government orders, sea captain documents, etc. were all posted on them. Even unsuccessful literati spread rumors and caused trouble and wrote essays on the Baibi. Fortunately, the small counties in the border areas here, the white wall rumors in the capital even caused headaches for the court, and they could not restrict people's complaints. It was even stipulated that all those who submitted books and posted books must be named, and those who were anonymous must be dealt with as rumors, which was also considered a real-name system in this era.
There were already a serviceman waiting at the door, and when he saw everyone coming, he led him to the reception room inside the county government office.
Duan Fang sat in the main seat and had tea. When everyone came in, he did not get up to greet him, and his face had not even changed. In the past, he was the magistrate of Ruhe, and the local officials were not subordinate to him, and when they met, they still met with his colleagues. Now these local officials were under his control. Xu Ping specifically told them that there was no need to give them face.
In recent years, Yongzhou and Taiping Village have been developing thousands of miles a day, and they are well-behaved. None of them has become red and rich, like Huang Tianbiao. Only Duan Fang is the exception. In order to meet with all the local officials today, Duan Yunjie made him a new official robe, and even the most subtle parts were decorated. However, no matter how Duan Fang wore new clothes, he still looked like a weather-beaten. After changing the clothes, he was an old farmer who digged the ground every day. It made people sigh. He could never think of this as the gentleman young official who came here twenty years ago.
After everyone arrived and sat down one by one, Duan Fang put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice: "Have all the officials of the prefectures and communities under this county arrived?"
The new Taiping County chief clerk Fang Tianyan stood up and said, "Report to the magistrate, you are here."
Fang Tianyan was a Jinshi in Xunzhou. He failed the palace examination in the eighth year of Tiansheng. He was transferred to Yongzhou a month ago.
Duan Fang put down the teacup, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I call you here today, just because the county and prefectures and districts need to practice the method of raising Ding, and some things need to be explained."
After saying that, Duan Fang read the memorial jointly signed by Xu Ping and Feng Shenji that was approved, as well as the precautions written by Xu Ping that were attached to the latter.
After reading it, Duan Fang said again: "This is an unprecedented major event in the county. It is a lot of tricks to do. The judge specifically explained that it is not urgent to be impatient and stable. There are articles posted by the above in the county. You will take it back and post it everywhere, so that everyone in the upper and lower levels can understand it clearly."
After saying that, Fang Tianyan took a large stack of paper and distributed it to all the local officials present.
After the distribution was completed, Duan Fang said: "There is no more than before. All the local officials need to set up a letter to the villages and towns. Every large village or town must set up a white wall and post a notice from the court. You must not be careless."
Luo Baihuang County Magistrate had been disliked by Duan Fang for 10,000 years ago. When he heard this, he shouted loudly: "Our barbarians know Chinese characters, but they can't read what they write here. Which one should I find as a scholar in the village?!"
As soon as he said that, the local officials present said yes.
Duan Fang said slowly: "It's okay, you just need to find someone and send them to the county to teach them to read. I have already arranged it here, and I can't make any mistakes!"
When Huang Tianbiao heard this, he widened his eyes and said, "The county still teaches to recognize words? I will not hide it from the magistrate. I have also found several gentlemen in the past two years. I have spent a lot of money, but I have not recognized words yet!"
"Oh, if you want to learn, you can follow me!"
Duan Fang didn't even raise his eyelids, and his tone was still calm.
Huang Tianbiao's eyes rolled, and he didn't dare to speak again. Recently, he asked Sun Qilang to tell Xu Ping that Xiang would transfer himself to Taiping County. If he succeeded, Duan Fang would be his immediate boss and dare not offend him.
Other local officials were talking about it. They had never heard of the government's special instructions to teach barbarians to read. They couldn't understand whether this matter was good or bad.
Xu Ping had already made plans. As long as the local government sent people, after a few months of training, this was the root of the court's extension of the local government. People who rely on new training must have a way to exterminate local officials who have been passed down for hundreds of years.
Xu Ping has discussed with Feng Shenji about the implementation of the Ding Law in the entire Yongzhou area. In order to avoid the opportunity to take advantage of the adjacent Jiaozhi, the Zuojiang Road area should be slow rather than urgent. It is only to drag the trivial matters to do, and wait until Feng Shenji has decided to fully develop it.
(I have no words and chapters in the past two days, so I have nothing to say. I have indeed delayed it. Please forgive me and I will make up for it later. I finally recommended it last time, but I...ah!)
Chapter completed!
