The sun in the sky was so pale that it felt like it was about to be roasted. The scorching sun was pouring down all over the sky, the clothes on my body felt like they were about to melt, and the exposed skin was even more painful like pins and needles from the sun. The slate on the road under my feet was hot, and I only felt that the soles of my shoes were soft, and the rain accumulated two days ago was steaming, and my legs were like steaming in a steamer.

In such bad weather, Wei Zhizhou walked towards the new Taiping County Ya with a gloomy face.

Luo Bai and Huang Zhixian were beside him, his face was pale, as if he had suffered from heat stroke, and he lowered his head and just walked. It's just a few days, and the two of them don't have the vigor in the restaurant that day.

Huang Tianbiao walked in all directions, walking side by side with Shen Anlu, leisurely.

Shen Anlu looked at the two people in front of him and asked Huang Tianbiao in a low voice: "County Lieutenant, this time, the two of us are included in the same clan, why are you not in a hurry?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Huang Tianbiao seemed to be serious, and Shen Chengrong was not there, so he picked up the style of the elders to teach the younger generations, "How many clansmen are there in our two families?" Besides, most of those people are already working in the sugar business, what is the difference between what is included and what is not included? ”

"Yes." Shen Anlu nodded obediently, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have walked so steadily with Huang Tianbiao. The implementation of the Bracket Law this time had little impact on the two of them, and it was not their turn to have a headache.

Huang Tianbiao said slowly and leisurely: "Besides, our Shangguan Xu Tongju sometimes does things harshly, but he never tricks people. Including our barbarians, there will definitely be some compensation. ”

"The county lieutenant is saying that we can still take advantage of others?"

"What's cheap? Is this what we deserve? Pretending to say a word, Huang Tianbiao looked left and right, and said in Shen Anlu's ear: "We are our own people who are judged by the general judgment, and the general judgment does not lose our own people." ”

Shen Anlu nodded, his face relaxed. If you want to talk about his own people, he is more qualified than Huang Tianbiao. Now that Duan Fang is in Taiping County, in a sense, it is his brother-in-law, is there anything closer than this? It's a pity that the Huang Conggui kidnapped his sister, and there has been no news, otherwise this relationship would be confirmed.

Shen Anlu didn't know that it was precisely because Ah Shen was not there that Duan Fang became the magistrate of Taiping, otherwise Shen Dong would be under his rule, and according to the avoidance law, this son would not have been able to take Duan Fang's turn.

There were several errand officers at the entrance of the county government who were painting the white walls, and there were people playing drums next to them. This was originally the Zhizhai Hall of Taipingzhai, and Zhizhai only managed the troops stationed there, and did not care about civil affairs, and these yamen did not have the necessary equipment. In fact, not only this new county office, but also the entire Taipingzhai subordinate, including the barbarian prefectures, are imitating the interior to build these facilities.

In addition to relying on the Li Zheng and village scribes in the countryside, the most important channel for the transmission of the decrees of the Song Dynasty was the white walls of villages and towns and important intersections. Government decrees, sea fishing documents, etc. are all posted on this, and even undesirable literati who make rumors are also posted on the white wall. Fortunately, the small border county here is okay, and the rumors of the white wall in the capital even give the imperial court a headache, and it cannot restrict the people from complaining, so that it is stipulated that all those who submit books and posts must belong to the name, and those who are anonymous will be dealt with as rumors, which can be regarded as the real-name system of this era.

There were already messengers waiting at the door, and when they saw everyone coming, they led them to the meeting room in the county office.

Duan Fang sat on the main seat and drank tea, when everyone came in, he didn't get up to greet him, and he didn't even change his face. In the past, he was like a magistrate of the county, and the local officials were not subordinate to each other, and when they met, they were like meeting with each other, but now these local officials are under his control, and Xu Ping specially explained that there is no need to give them face.

In recent years, the development of Yongzhou and Taipingzhai has been rapid and rapid, and the top and bottom have been deeply benefited by it, which one has not become red and rich, like Huang Tianbiao. Only Duan Fang is an exception, in order to meet with all the local officials today, Duan Yunjie made him a new official robe, even the slightest place was also retouched for him, but no matter how Duan Fang wore new clothes, he still looked weathered. As soon as I changed my clothes, this was an old farmer who plowed the land every day, which made people sigh, and I couldn't imagine that this was the gentleman and jade young official who came here twenty years ago.

After everyone had arrived and sat down one by one, Duan Fang put down his teacup and asked in a deep voice, "Have all the officials from all the prefectures under this county arrived?" ”

Fang Tianyan, the new chief secretary of Taiping County, got up and said, "Yuzhi County, it's here." ”

Fang Tianyan is a Jinshi of Xunzhou, the eighth year of the Tiansheng Palace, and he was transferred to Yongzhou a month ago.

Duan Fang put down the teacup, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I called you here today, just because the county borders and states want to implement the Bracket Law, and some things have to be explained." ”

After speaking, Duan Fang read the approved joint recital of Xu Ping and Feng Shenji, as well as the precautions written by Xu Ping attached to the back.

After reading it, Duan Fang said: "This is an unprecedented event in this county, it is a lot of things to do, and the general judgment is specially explained. There is a list sent down from above in the county, and you have taken it back and posted it everywhere, so that everyone at the top and bottom can understand it clearly. ”

After speaking, Fang Tianyan took a large stack of paper and distributed it to all the local officials present.

After the distribution, Duan Fang said: "After the enclosure, it is not as good as before, each village must set up a village clerk, and all large villages and towns must set up white walls at intersections, and post court notices, you must not be sloppy." ”

Luo Bai Huang Zhixian had already seen that Duan Fang was 10,000 unpleasant, and when he heard this, he shouted loudly: "Our subordinate barbarians know Chinese characters, and they can't read what is written here, which one can be found to be a calligrapher in Lizheng Township?!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the local officials present said yes one after another.

Duan Fang said slowly: "It's okay, you just need to find people and send them to the county to teach them to read, I have already arranged it here, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

When Huang Tianbiao heard this, his eyes widened and said, "The county still teaches literacy? Don't hide it from the county, I have also found a few gentlemen in the past two years, and I have spent a lot of money, and I still don't recognize a few words! ”

"Oh, if you want to learn, you can follow along!"

Duan Fang's eyelids didn't lift, and his tone was still calm.

Huang Tianbiao's eyes rolled, and he didn't dare to speak again. Recently, he entrusted Sun Qilang and said in front of Xu Ping that Xiang had transferred himself to Taiping County, and if he succeeded, Duan Fang would be his top boss and would not dare to offend.

The other local officials all talked about it, and they had not heard that the government had specially taught barbarians to read and write, and they couldn't figure out whether this thing was good or bad.

Xu Ping had already made a plan, as long as the local government sent people, after a few months of training, this would be the root of the imperial court in the local area, and the newly trained people would definitely have a way to empty the local officials who had been handed down for hundreds of years.

In order to avoid the opportunity to take advantage of the adjacent Jiaozhi, the Zuojiang Province area should be slow rather than urgent, and only drag it out with these trivial things to do, and wait for Feng Shenji's overall situation to be determined here and then fully unfold.

(In the past two days, I owe the number of words and chapters, there is nothing to say, there is indeed something delayed, readers forgive me, and I will definitely make up for it in the future.) I finally recommended it last time, but I ...... Alas! ）
