Ma Guoxi was silent, yes, under the management of Yongning Hou, Xuanfu Town has become a huge force, if this force is dominated by the imperial court, or the heart is good to the imperial court, vice versa......

He somewhat understood the uneasiness of the princes of the court and the central government, and also understood the court's cold treatment of the Jingbian army, but after all, this was a symptom but not a cure, so he buried his head in the sand like an ostrich, and the bento crisis did not exist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In fact, the crisis is still there, and Li Banghua went further, but the result was that he was relegated to this side of the military town.

The two were relatively speechless, and sat down for a while, Li Banghua proposed to convince the whisper, to see the local folk situation, he went all the way, just to see a rough idea, I really want to understand it more deeply and carefully.

Ma Guoxi met his requirements, and in his selfish heart, he also wanted Li Banghua to see the results of his governance and show off.

The two secretly changed their clothes, took only a few personal attachés, walked from the backyard of the Military Garrison Division, and then turned from the alley into the street.

It is the time when the lights are on and the streets are bustling, although the cold is thick and a little snow falls in the sky from time to time, it does not affect the pedestrians on the street at all.

It is dinner season, the east, south, west and north streets of the city, the restaurants are full of horsepower, all kinds of knives and spoons, running hall shouting and shouting, bursts of wine-scented meat, just from the restaurants erupted.

Li Banghua was already full, and when he smelled the aroma of these local specialties, he couldn't help but be a little greedy.

In fact, he is also a person of good food, especially the official banquet. A lot of it is still used to see, not to eat, of course, I am embarrassed to say this.

The two walked along, Huailai Acropolis is a big city, the original circumference is more than seven miles, Huailong Road East Road Bingbei Dao Bing Xianfu, Guerrilla General Bureau, Baoding Mansion, Garrison Office, Huailaiwei Command and Embassy and other official offices are stationed here, it is one of the core cities of the East Road.

The streets of the city are also well-organized, and the houses are neat. Of course. The development of each city to the back, it is inevitable to decay, the streets are potholed is just the norm, Li Banghua is not a person who has not reached the cities of the border towns.

But now walk on the street. He was surprised to find out. The streets are all smooth. It's very clean, without the slightest sludge and fecal water, which is not easy.

He also discovered. There are baskets on the streets, and I don't know what they are used for.

When asked about Ma Guoxi, he said that there is a special sanitation bureau in the city, which recruits poor people from military and civilian households, especially the elderly, who regularly clean and collect garbage every day, and there are also vendors who specialize in collecting garbage and sell them for profit.

Li Banghua nodded, as soon as he heard about the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, he knew that this was a good thing made by Wang Dou, in fact, there was also a special position in the Daming official government to "remove the unclean", and Shi Kefa once disguised himself as a garbage sweeper and went to the prison to visit the teacher Zuo Guangdou.

In Beijing, environmental sanitation is in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but with the failure of food and salary, layoffs and layoffs, all localities should not think about it.

And the crops are all dependent on dung, and there are originally people who collect night incense in all cities, such as Xu Wenqiang, who once monopolized the manure industry in Shanghai.

All kinds of dung, not to mention ordinary farmers, even to the landlords and gentry, are also treasures, and the country children have nothing to do, they just go out to pick up dung. It's just that with the abandonment of farming, the fleeing of households, the abandonment of wasteland, and the manure of various places, no one has collected it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, in this Xuanfu Town, the ancestral tradition was restored.

Ma Guoxi suddenly whispered to Li Banghua: "There are people in the urban management bureau, adults should be careful not to spit and throw garbage, be careful of those urban management personnel, there are so many villains in the bureau!" ”

Li Banghua was stunned, and as Ma Guoxi looked, he saw some people wearing black fox hats and blue short armor walking around the street, some of them had their hands copied, some of them had their hands behind their backs, short sticks hung on their waists, all of them had straight chests and protruding bellies, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and they only shot into the crowd.

Ma Guoxi said in a low voice: "This urban management bureau is under the management of Du's father-in-law, and there are all cities, and they are in charge of the city's appearance and hygiene, and if you spit out a mouthful of phlegm, you will be fined a copper yuan." Many people have been poisoned by them, and they are really complaining, and they hate Du Xun as much as they can! ”

He said one thing, a few months ago, Wu Zhi, the governor of Yanqing Prefecture, led several scholars to scold the Marquis of Yongning, and he also snorted in the street to express his anger.

Unexpectedly, this move was seen by a group of chengguan, and they immediately went up and asked Wu Zhi to pay a copper yuan fine...... Because of Wu Zhi's bad attitude, he added a silver yuan fine, which caused a lot of fluctuations at that time, and the matter went all the way to Du Xun's side.

Li Banghua's heart was even more shocking, this was really sweeping the floor, and he subconsciously looked at those city managers.

At the same time, his brows furrowed slightly, civil affairs should be based on education, how can punishment be replaced?

In particular, Wu Zhi is also treated like this, where is the system? Wang Dou is really crazy.

In particular, Du Xun, as a prison soldier, is willing to be a lackey of the king, how can the majesty of the court exist?

The two continued to walk, there were as many stalls on the street, and there were many goods bearers, perhaps because of the turning of the chengguan, they did not dare to throw garbage on the street, so that the streets were kept clean and tidy, and suddenly felt that the establishment of the urban management bureau was not all bad.

There are many stalls on the street, especially the corners, according to Ma Guoxi, this kind of small business, the cities do not collect taxes, many people who come to Huailai City for the first time, also make a living from it, Li Banghua nodded slightly, Wang Dou is also sympathetic to the people, and does not blindly ask for money.

However, many of the things burned at the food stalls caught Li Banghua's attention.

"It's ......"

Ma Guoxi said: "Oh, this thing is called honeycomb coal, I heard that it was developed by the Marquis of Yongning. ”

He paid attention to Li Banghua's face, and originally thought that Li Qincha would scold Wang Dou for not doing his job properly and specializing in some strange tricks, but he didn't expect Li Banghua to be the forehead: "This is for the benefit of the people's livelihood, great good." ”

Of course, Li Banghua has his own principles of character and bones, one is one, two is two, and where Wang Dou is good at governance, he will not violate his own heart.

He had already paid attention to this briquette, and now he was even more careful to observe, compared to firewood, this thing was indeed small, and the flames were sufficient. It is simple and easy to transport, and this thing is used everywhere in the city, presumably it is widely used in the town, and the small people make this thing, and also add some ways to make a living.

Li Banghua's mind is complicated, and Wang Dou's good government can be seen from this.

The king of heaven descended from the sky, is this the luck of the Ming Dynasty, or the disaster of the Ming Dynasty?

He looked at the street with his back hand, and he always felt that something was wrong. Long. Only then did he remember, where did the soldiers in the city go?

He had this feeling when he entered Huailai City earlier, and now that he thinks about it, he is Lucheng. How could there be no garrison? Why is there no one at all?

Ask about it. Ma Guoxi just smiled bitterly. Wang Dou increased the Zhongyi battalion, and all the generals were recruited into it, and the rest slowly. It has also been assigned various positions and integrated into all walks of life, but it can be said that there is no longer the original army in the entire East Road.

Li Banghua was taken aback, and then became furious: "The town of Xuanfu is peaceful and peaceful, but the city along the way, it is always necessary to guard against thieves and bandits, even if it is a mob disorder, it also needs to be suppressed." There are no soldiers, what should this be, and what does the Marquis of Yongning want? ”

Ma Guoxi explained that although there was no army in the city, there was a new patrol house to maintain law and order, and there were dense tunbao forts outside the city, and there were excellent tunding inside. In addition, Yongning City and other places have elite Jingbian troops stationed, and security is not a problem.

At that time, the Marquis of Yongning dealt with these old armies, and the reaction inside and outside the city was indifferent, and there was a place to go, and there was no noise and trouble from the old army.

He pointed to the patrol officers wearing red felt warm hats, half carrying bird guns, half carrying knives and iron locks on their waists, and wearing cyan short armor on the other side of the street, and said: "Look, those are patrols, and when the soldiers are removed, some people enter the patrol room. ”

Li Banghua's face was cloudy, looking at these people coming, he was also imposing, and when he came closer, he saw that at the upper end of the left chest of each person's armor, there was also a long small bronze medal, with two big characters of "patrol" written on it.

There is also a line of small letters below the bronze medal, which seems to have their names and their brand numbers, similar to the existence of waist plates.

When these people came, the first person with a waist handcuff and a waist knife saw Li Banghua staring at him, his eyes were so strange that he was creepy, and he couldn't help frowning and glancing at him, seeing that he was similar to a good citizen, he didn't stop, led his subordinates, and walked away by himself.

Li Banghua watched them go to another street, and he didn't know how to evaluate this matter, and after a long time, he sighed heavily.

They walked around the streets, in addition to all kinds of fresh troubles, they came to the street scene, which made Li Banghua and his entourage look interested.

It is also the lights of thousands of homes, the corners of the streets and alleys, the dense lanterns are hung non-stop, which can also be seen that the people of Huailai City are rich, the smell of hot meals is more tangy, and the people in and out of the teahouses and restaurants are non-stop, all of them are full of prosperous business, and all kinds of accents are noisy.

It is a small food shop on the street, which is full of people, and people of different levels meet their needs according to their own financial resources.

This place is full of life and smiles, people don't have to worry about fire, don't worry about thieves, don't worry about Tartars, they wear new clothes, they live their lives peacefully.

Looking at this peaceful scenery, especially coming and going, many people behave politely, and they hear greetings and greetings, and they are endless.

Li Banghua was suddenly in a trance, the people are filial to their parents, friends are brothers, husbands and wives are harmonious, friends believe, frugality and self-control, fraternity and the public, the scene that the sage said, every scene, is realized everywhere on East Road and Xuanfu Town, is Wang Dou doing the right thing?

He sighed heavily: "The Marquis of Yongning has made great contributions to education. ”

He said to Ma Guoxi: "Bingxian is also indispensable. ”

Li Banghua also heard that in Yanqing Prefecture and Huailai City on the East Road, there are many literati gentry, businessmen and officials, and many wealthy foreigners also like to move to Huailai City or Yanqing City, and these people naturally have a high level of quality.

In fact, if there is no stake, no ideological struggle between the family and the country, it is undeniable that the personal cultivation quality of these people is higher than that of ordinary lower-class people, after all, they have read books and received education.

And under the rule of Ma Guoxi, when it comes to credit, it is natural to count Ma Guoxi's share.

Praised by Li Banghua, Ma Guoxi was in a happy mood, he smiled and said: "Enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, Cangqiao enough to know etiquette, the people can eat enough, and naturally the education will go up, and the lower officials dare not take credit." ”

He smiled, and suddenly realized that he was so proud of all this that he couldn't wait to show off to outsiders like a show-off child?

It's just that, looking at the pedestrians on the street, although the cold is thick, there are bursts of warmth between these people and the things in front of them.

In any case, all this in front of me is to be maintained. (To be continued.) )
