Chapter 199: Imperceptible

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since the Shuaifu army entered Qiongzhou, and although Qiongzhou has not undergone earth-shaking changes at this time, it is also refreshing. Let's just say that the land in Fucheng was clean before, but the street where the state government is located is still clean, but it is inevitable to step on horse manure and cow dung, and other places are convenient for people to vomit. The gutters have not been cleaned for many years, and every time it rains, sewage flows sideways, garbage drifts around along the water, and mosquitoes and flies are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will eat meat during meals.

However, on the second day after the Shuaifu was stationed, notices were plastered everywhere, telling all streets, squares, and merchants and residents in the city that from now on, garbage should be put in designated places, and no defecation was allowed anywhere, even if mules and horses had to bring dung pockets when they went out, puddles in front of and behind houses must be cleared, and there should be no stagnant water after rain. At the same time, the army of the Shuai Fu sent soldiers to desilt the waterways of the city, and the prefecture and county yamen also assigned special personnel to clean up the garbage and supervise the cleaning of the streets in front of the doors. But everyone has been casual for many years, just thinking that the government is doing it for the little prince to see, and just want to deal with the past so-so.

What everyone didn't expect was that the Shuai Mansion took it seriously this time, and the soldiers who patrol the city every day also took on the responsibility of supervision. If any animal is found without a dung bag, the animal shall be immediately detained, and the animal shall be ordered to be cleaned up after the belt is completed and the feces shall be cleaned before being allowed to be taken away; The person who found that he was drowning in the open was not so polite, and after being caught, he was whipped in public, peed five times, doubled his, and had to clean the streets for five days after the beating; Catch the one who dumps garbage everywhere, and you'll be responsible for the removal of the streets. If there is no sufferer and no urgency, the work will be undertaken by the chief and the nearest residents and shops to punish him for failing to fulfill his duty of persuasion.

Within a few days, everyone knew that those soldiers who seemed to be kind and often helped the old and the young were all smiling tigers. No matter who is caught, he will definitely not escape punishment, and the ordinary people who have been beaten will not mention it. It was a regimental trainer in Qiongzhou who shoveled cow on the street for a long time because he did not bring a dung pocket for his horse, and the big and small security chiefs led a family to sweep the streets became a scene in Qiongzhou. The old man who lives in the city is said to have been a four-grade official, and he has to salute when he sees Zhizhou in this city, but he is also punished because there is garbage at the back door of the house that has not been cleaned up, and the old man is ashamed to look for death and life, and he has to go to the Lord Zhizhou to complain, but the soldiers are unmoved, telling him that even if he wants to die, he must first clean the front of the door.

The soldiers acted so recklessly, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some squires and elders, and they gathered together and contacted the scholars of the government to go to the yamen to write a letter, saying that the generals beat the people in public, humiliated the officials, harassed the township, and destroyed the local customs, and should be punished, and the city should be returned to the sky. Zhizhou Zhao and Luo personally met with the petitioning group, and after explaining their intentions, they spread their hands and said: The notice was posted by the marshal's government, and the soldiers were sent by the Fu Division, and their prefectures and counties could not manage it at all, so they could only forward it to the authorities. and privately revealed that these are all rules set by His Royal Highness King Wei, and they have long been implemented in the army of the Shuai Mansion, and all the things that have killed people for this have happened.

When a group of people heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, the biggest official living in this city was no longer Zhizhou, but King Wei was in charge. And His Royal Highness is just a child, I am afraid that I will not get anything from reasoning with him except for the notoriety of bullying and small things, and it is not good that His Highness saw so many people, and he was so frightened that he cried and cried, and they could not run away from the crime of committing and disturbing the king. Everyone pondered that it was not worth bothering His Highness for such a trivial matter, and it was better not to be like a child, so a vigorous action to write a book ended in vain.

In the turmoil, the people did not know the inside story, but when they saw that these characters with heads and faces in the past were made to a disgraced face, and they also knew that they could not afford to turn over the waves, so they also recognized their heads, no longer resentful, but consciously maintained the cleanliness of their own acres and threes of land, and took the initiative to persuade and report those bad people who 'spoiled' the fruits of their labor at will. So it didn't take long for everyone to find that the streets in the city were clean, and there were fewer places to cover their noses when they went out, and it was difficult to step on the **** when they went out, especially the flies and mosquitoes were no longer unscrupulous and annoying.

One day when the environment was getting better, Shuai Si suddenly beat gongs and drums to send a plaque of "model of the people" to the regimental training who had shoveled cow feces on the street, in praise of his ability to learn from the pain after being punished, and often led the village soldiers to clean the streets and repair bridges and roads. The old man who was punished for sweeping the street was very dissatisfied with this, although he couldn't pull his face to take people to sweep the street, but he cleaned up the house, and often persuaded the neighbors around him, urging the chief to clean up the ditches and ponds and keep them hygienic. He also got the handwriting of His Royal Highness's 'Pure House', although this purity is not quiet, but it also makes him very proud, and he specially framed it and hung it in the middle hall to show off.

After this toss, the people realized that His Highness should listen to his words, disobedience will be beaten and punished, and obedience will be rewarded and rewarded. In addition, whenever the handsome mansion has an order, whether it is the ordinary people or the squires and the elderly, they will respond positively, build temples in the city, donate funds to raise funds for public welfare, and will also obey the order. Fucheng is the capital of the island, and there are many merchants and travelers, many of whom are gossipy, so they take the things in the city as anecdotes and bring them back to the village. However, there is a bit of a change of flavor when it is rumored around: His Royal Highness King Wei hates people who do not listen to orders the most, and once he knows about it, he will make people whip and eat cow; The obedient people were rewarded, and the civil officials were given the archway to get off the sedan chair and the military generals to get off the horse.

The royal government did not pursue these rumors, and the states and counties naturally did not have much trouble. But they all admired His Highness very much, in the past they had a lot of headaches about the difficulty of the decree, and they were opposed by the people when they were forcefully implemented, and the scholars made noise, and when they were soft, they were reprimanded by the superiors, so they could only be perfunctory every time they encountered such things. However, His Royal Highness only used a few small things to clear the accumulated defects in one day, and subtly made the decree smoothly implemented. They privately thought that His Highness's methods could be comparable to the method of Shang Ying's 'City Gate Pillar'!

And when the rumors spread into the army, those officers would involuntarily touch their buttocks and yell at those soldiers: "Lao Tzu was beaten half to death just because he violated His Highness's order not to defecate in the open because of a soak of urine." If I see you so loose today, you must have peeled off your skin. But as long as you are obedient, Your Highness will not treat you badly, have you seen him? It is because he obeyed His Royal Highness's orders and never forgot to abide by military discipline, and he became the head of the capital in only three months after entering the army. Do you want to ......" (To be continued.) )
