At the beginning of the afternoon, the warm winter sun shone on the living room of the back office of Fuyang County. Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Fuyang, cordially met with several respected old gentlemen in the county here, and had a cordial and friendly conversation......

Wei Zhixian first extended his cordial greetings and best wishes to several old gentlemen. Several old gentlemen expressed their gratitude for this and expressed their cordial greetings and best wishes to Weizhi County.

Subsequently, the two sides had a friendly and constructive conversation in a sincere and friendly manner.

Wei Zhixian first fully affirmed the strong support of several old gentlemen for the work of the county, and said that without a few old gentlemen, the work of the county would not have achieved such remarkable results, and today our county can have such a good situation, which is inseparable from the fruitful work of several old gentlemen.

Several old gentlemen highly praised Wei Zhixian's leadership work in the past year. They modestly said that although they were enthusiastic about the county, because of their lack of study and outdated concepts, they had undeserved self-centered thinking and failed to make due contributions to the overall situation of the county's unity and development. They pledged to further enhance their understanding, emancipate their minds, guard against arrogance and rashness, be modest and prudent, not engage in specialization, not engage in small groups, closely rally around the magistrates, and give full play to the surplus heat for the construction of the county.

Wei Zhixian happily said that several old gentlemen are old, virtuous, and far-sighted, and have a very sober and long-term understanding of all aspects of the county's work. He attaches great importance to the opinions of several old gentlemen, and believes that the two sides will achieve a high degree of agreement on the major affairs of the county, treat each other frankly, work together, and work together for the further development of various undertakings in the county.

Several old gentlemen said excitedly that they were excited that the people of Fuyang could have such a leader who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account. Under the leadership of the magistrate, the county will be politically harmonious and prosperous, and will have a better tomorrow!

After that, the two sides fully exchanged views and views on the establishment of yellow book monuments in various townships in the county. Several old gentlemen said that this matter is meritorious in the future and in the present generation, and they will fully support the completion of this work without regrets, and take the initiative to bear the relevant costs and make a modest contribution to this cause.

Wei Zhixian expressed high praise for the old gentlemen's active support for the cause of the county. He said that this is a very sensitive work, and if it is done well, it will be effective for the future, and if it is not done well, it will be a disaster for the present generation.

He pointed out that there are now two sets of plans in the county, one is to engrave the stele in the 30th year of Hongwu and the 8th year of Yongle, so that it can be completed as soon as possible. But next year will be the year of the once-in-a-decade re-enactment. Another set of plans is to first erect the Hongwu 30-year Yellow Book Monument, and then set up the Yongle 10-year Yellow Book Monument after the next year's re-register. I wonder what a few gentlemen think?

The two sides had a warm and friendly discussion on this issue, and the old gentlemen unanimously agreed that it would be more appropriate to be more suitable than to be slower than to be perfect.

Wei Zhixian listened carefully to the suggestions of the old gentlemen, and said that he would consider carefully, think twice, live up to the high expectations of the old man and the people of the county, and make the Yellow Book Tablet the cornerstone of Fuyang County's prosperity and strength. Several old gentlemen also said that they would fully support the inventory work in the coming year, and make sure that there are no omissions in every household and everyone is registered, so as to make the most accurate and detailed yellow book in the history of the county.

The old gentlemen said that the students were bold and disrespectful, and they really needed to be strictly disciplined, but they were still young, and their starting point was still good, and they were also practicing the 'benevolence' of the great teacher Confucius, and their actions were not out of malice, and they implored the county to consider their suggestions, be magnanimous, treat the sick and save people, and give them a lighter punishment.

The old gentlemen also said that in view of the difficulties of the students of the county school, they are willing to donate 1,000 acres of school land for the county school to subsidize the poor students.

Wei Zhixian spoke highly of the good deeds of the old gentlemen, and expressed his gratitude to the old gentlemen on behalf of the students who will be funded. He said that if young people make mistakes, Taizu will forgive. What's more, Li Yu and other students are warm-hearted and helpful, and the country needs such talents. The purpose of punishment is to be vigilant, and if they correct their attitude, review their mistakes, and promise to change their minds in the future and never commit them again, they can consider mitigating or even exempting them from punishment.

The old gentleman expressed his great appreciation and emotion to Wei Zhixian for cherishing talents and not caring for himself, and once again promised to donate 100 acres of good land to the Salesian Bureau and the Nursing Home. Wei Zhixian once again expressed his appreciation for this.

Both sides said that such talks, which were open and frank and spoke their minds freely, would play a great role in eliminating misunderstandings, enhancing feelings, strengthening exchanges, and promoting cooperation, and agreed to establish a long-term mechanism to hold talks on a regular basis in the future.

Also present at the talks were the county's chief secretary, the chief secretary, and the private think tank of Weizhi County, as well as the grain chiefs of various districts and the relevant personnel of households.

After the meeting, Wei Zhixian personally sent the old gentlemen out of the county office, sunset

Radiant, a layer of shining golden light on the halls and houses of the county government also seems to indicate that Fuyang County will have a golden future!

The county's household warden, acting household affairs Wang Xian, reported on the spot......

Back in the signing room, Wei Zhixian was very excited, and he didn't praise Wang Xian, who had made great contributions. He knew that if it weren't for Wang Xian's series of meticulous planning and constant encouragement, he would not have been able to defeat those powerful and cunning old foxes!

"It's so thrilling!" Recalling the whole process, Wei Zhixian's heart still shook and said: "I have achieved eighty percent, ninety percent, or even ninety percent five, and they are still unmoved." To be honest, at that time, the county didn't report any hope, just to fight for a breath! He clenched his fists and said with great rejoicing: "Finally, at the last moment, they still gave in!" ”

"Hehe......" Sima Qiu said with a smile: "Anyway, the students are scared to death, especially when they are at the bottom, their souls are about to fly out." Saying that, he glared at Wang Xian with disgust and said: "Don't come up with such a thrilling idea in the future, if you don't kill you, you will be scared to death!" ”

"There's no way to do this...... Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, so I can only win by surprise." If the strength is about the same, it won't be like this and come back to life. ”

"yes." Wei Zhixian said with hatred when he heard this: "Otherwise, how could this official let go of those talents?" ”

Wang Xian found that Wei Zhixian was very vindictive. The entourage who reported the news was ordered by him to be beaten with sixty sticks. In order to show loyalty in front of the eldest master, the torture room used a staff method that was light on the outside and heavy on the inside, and the flesh and skin of the man could not see anything, and the bones had been broken......

And those showmen made a big fuss in court and besieged the county officials, Wei Zhixian reacted at a loss and lost face, and every time he thought about it afterwards, he was so painful that he couldn't breathe. Do you think Wei Zhixian can not hate them?

But most of them are big brothers, if Wei Zhixian takes away people's fame and ruins people's future, those masters will definitely fight with him. Moreover, although the "Great Message" is an ancestral precept, after all, it has not been invoked for a long time, and it is okay to use it to scare people, but it is somewhat untenable to use it as a basis for punishment, and it is very unwise to leave Shilin with a bad comment that he must repay and does not care for the type of study.

"It's a pity that we didn't keep Zhang Hua and Xun Sancai." Sima Qiu sighed and said, "The two of them are also doing their best, but it's a pity. ”

"There's no way...... Wei Zhixian also sighed and said: "In order to force me to comply, they stabbed the case to the sub-patrol road, and there is sufficient evidence, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape." ”

In fact, it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Hua and Xun Sancai to eat a little greedy, but the two of them committed a big taboo - the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is the grain chief collection and release system, and the official messenger is not allowed to collect taxes in person, and can only supervise the grain chief to collect and release. However, because the yamen was in a hurry to chase the competition, and both of them wanted to show that they were stronger than the other party in front of the magistrate, they ignored the taboo and ordered the messenger to collect the ticket at the door, not wanting to be caught, so they sued the sub-patrol road.

He Guan, who was originally in the sub-patrol road, was demoted four levels in a row because of torture to extract confessions and caused unjust, false and wrongful cases, and went to Dangzhi County...... Now the deputy envoy Ji of the acting sub-patrol road, Lord Ji, has always been friendly with He Guan, and he is angry that he was demoted to the magistrate, so naturally he will not give Wei Zhixian face.

Wei Zhixian was very unhappy about not being able to rescue his subordinates, but everything had to look forward. What's more, harvesting Wang Xian's good helper, which is tied together by Zhang Hua and Xun Sancai, can't be compared.

While he was talking, Chang Sui knocked on the door outside, and after calling in, Chang Sui presented a famous thorn. Wei Zhixian glanced at it casually, and then changed his face and said, "Where is that person?" ”

"I'm waiting at the gate of the county office." Long with the way.

"Hurry up, please." Wei Zhixian was uneasy.

"Who can make the owner so nervous?" After the long man went out, Sima Qiu looked through the famous thorn, and saw that it was written 'Zhou Xin Goodbye', and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "It's broken, Zhou Zhentai is really in this county!" ”

"Ah......" Wang Xian was also stunned, it was rumored that Zhou Xin had a private visit to Weifu in this county, but in fact, he pulled the tiger skin, pulled the big flag, and made it up to put pressure on those big households. Now that Zhou Xin has really appeared, he doesn't know how to end it......

"What should I do?" Wei Zhixian hurriedly put on a black gauze hat and prepared to go out to greet him. Because the other party is a private visit to Weifu, it is inconvenient to open the middle door to greet him, but at least he will be waiting in front of the back yamen.

"Don't be nervous, adults." Wang Xian set his mind and said: "Zhou Zhentai's visit at this time can't be a coincidence, he is likely to have already understood the inside story, so it's better for adults to report it truthfully!" ”

"Ugh." It was no longer possible to think about it, Wei Zhixian sighed: "What is this ......?"

Wei Zhixian came to the moon gate, waited for a while, and saw a middle-aged man in a green sermon robe, accompanied by two companions, appear on the other side of the road.

Take a closer look, who is it if it's not Zhou Zhentai? He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "If you miss the distance, forgive your sins and forgive your sins!" ”
