Section 11 Heaven, Earth, and Air
Flails: A square wooden collar, usually heavy, that wraps around the neck and sometimes the hands, as punishment for forcing the prisoner to wear a flail in front of the official office in front of the public to show humiliation and pain.
Once the order is given, the servant will take away the owner of the house who hit the muzzle of the gun like a tiger!
Others?
Dare to say a P word!
Some of them are afraid, some are hateful, but no matter whether they hate or are afraid, they don't know that Yan Changwu's heart is tossing like a river and a sea: It turns out that less talk and more action is also used in punishment!
Perhaps, democracy is hard to do!
If you let them say that they are always justified, and if you want to say (read shui) through them, don't expect it!
If you can't make them respect, then you can only make them afraid!
This is the first time he has used violence against the people, and it is a serious subversion of the rule of law that he has been subjected to for many years!
The superior speaks out of the constitution of heaven, and without interrogation, he can arbitrarily punish the people, and even if the people are not satisfied, they dare not object!
He was secretly vigilant, but he had to admit that this was the fastest and most effective method.
He understood what it means to "the people's heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace!" ”
In the future, you have to act according to the behavior of the superiors, and you must not be soft-hearted.
……
The first unlucky ghost was put in a flail in front of the "administrative center", and he was not allowed to kneel and be flailed, but a wooden cage was put to put him in the flail.
This caused a sensation in Beigang Town, and the townspeople who had eaten dinner came to see the strange, and the unlucky ghost was simply ashamed to death!
When everyone heard that it was "the road was repaired to his house, he blocked the road construction, and was sentenced to the shackle by the big dragon head!" Everyone was a little unconvinced.
But the facts are in front of everyone, and there is no room for everyone not to believe it.
Now, when everyone talks about the big dragon head, there are fewer people who say "that child", and it is gradually gone.
……
The implementation of various measures in Beigang Town, especially the urban management regulations, makes the people unaccustomed to it.
No spitting, no littering, no cattle, horses and sheep are not allowed to enter the town (without permission), orderly queuing, etc.
The people have no such concept at all, and they have never thought that the government is so strict.
According to the regulations:
A one-week advisory period is carried out, during which offenders are only warned and not punished.
After that, the offender will be fined one tael of silver, or sentenced to social service (mainly ten days of sweeping the floor), which is considered a trial period of one month.
The official implementation is a fine of 10 taels of silver (equivalent to a year's salary for many people), or a fine of 30 days of community service!
If you knowingly commit a crime, let's say someone has money, and spit out ten bubbles of saliva and fine him with a hundred taels of silver, he will have to be sent to the administrative center for three days or more!
As a result.
During the first week's exhortation period, the chengguan tried hard to persuade the offenders to vomit as soon as they left.
The garbage is still littered, and it's useless to say it.
A week later, almost all the officials in the administrative center, including the chengguan, went out on duty on the streets to arrest people who dared to violate the chengguan regulations.
It's lively!
An old woman in her seventies, who was caught spitting, was old, deaf and clumsy, and said that the servants had made it difficult.
Then a little daughter-in-law with a child went to the street to litter, and the errand servant said that the child cried and made a fuss, and the errand servants were at a loss, and others were watching the excitement.
A big man, spitting, was fined a tael of silver, gave it quickly, walked two steps and took another bite, saw the messenger come to listen, he ran quickly, and the messengers chased after him and shouted, "Don't run!" ”
There was a descendant who spat on his spit, was fined a tael of silver, had no money, and was sentenced to sweep the streets, he felt ashamed and refused to leave.
……
One day, the street situation was reported to Yan Changwu and Chen Xinji, and when he heard "very lively", Chen Xinji said worriedly: "Are we too lenient!" ”
In the past, the county town has never managed such a situation, the people have organized cleaning, that's all, many places are dirty and messy, the county and town sewage crossflow, garbage everywhere, flies flying everywhere, and pigs, cows, dogs, chickens everywhere, some streets are simply a big garbage dump!
This scene abounds in various cities, both Chinese and foreign, everyone is accustomed to it, and no one has ever said anything.
didn't even spit out saliva, Chen Xinji said: "Big faucet, outsiders say that we are in charge of the sky and the air, and we are in charge of everything......
Change has begun!
In the past, when he was not in public, Chen Xinji generally called Yan Changwu a "virtuous nephew", but now it has risen to the title of "big dragon head!" ”
"It's not too wide, I still want to manage the township!" Yan Changwu said indifferently.
"What?" Chen Xinji was taken aback, no wonder he was surprised, in the history of the dynasty, almost all of them were "imperial power does not go to the countryside", and the power of the imperial court governed the county seat, and there was no direct management of the township, and it was the case in all dynasties!
"Now everyone is an immigrant, and the clan relationship is not as close as before, just to bring the power of governance down to the countryside!" Yan Changwu said to himself.
I knew that the big dragon head had a very high heart, but I didn't expect him to reach this height!
He's going to break the rules, he's going to go against God.
"Do we have so many people and money?" Chen Xinji didn't want to stop him, and began to think about it from the aspect of success.
"No one can be trained, and the source of financial resources lies in the development of the economy!" Yan Changwu easily gave the direction of future efforts, so that Chen Xinji had a little excitement, if it is really successful, it will be a big change in China's pattern for thousands of years, and he Chen Xinji is at the right time, fortunately!
"It seems that Yang Tiansheng and I didn't choose the wrong person!" He thought silently, he didn't have any words about the urban management regulations, but tried his best to support it!
……
There is a big ship docked at the Beigang Wharf, and a group of people come down, brightly dressed, the first person, with a tiger's head and eyes, and a fierce spirit.
When they got off the boat, they were shocked, is this still the North Harbor Pier? Don't go wrong!
But see the bluestone ring, extending to the inland, the road is smooth and spacious, the weeping willows on both sides, the breeze blows, the scenery is great!
Looking at the wharf again, it stretches for several miles, divided into fishing boats, merchant ships and warship berthing areas, and most of the buildings on the shore are under construction, and the pattern has been beautiful and neat.
Hundreds of boats are moored in the fishing and merchant berths, and the boats shuttling back and forth are in good order, and all dispatches are carried out by government boats and shore towers
The shore and the water are clean, and there are no more pieces of garbage from the dead cats and dogs before, which is very different from the previous chaotic scenes.
"Strange, really strange!" The group looked at it again and again and recognized the two big characters "Beigang", but they did not see clearly the words "Chengguan Regulations" on the big iron sign erected next to it, so the incident happened.
They went to the shore, and one of them soaked in saliva on the ground!
Immediately, two public servants (chengguan) next to him came over and said: "Spit everywhere, soak ten taels of silver!" ”
"What?!" The gang was amazed!
The chengguan reiterated the original words, and the man with the tiger's head and eyes said hesitantly: "Don't be Yan Changwu, this kid is poor and crazy!" In that case, let the uncle give him some silver! ”
He instructed his men: "Prepare a hundred taels of silver!" ”
Immediately, someone took out four large silver ingots of 25 taels, and the tiger-headed and eye-eyed man spat on the ground!
Then he said, "You vomit too, vomit enough for ten mouthfuls!" ”
So his cong people spat on the ground, and then handed the silver to the chengguan and said, "Where, here you are!" ”
Refuse to accept the punishment and gather a crowd to make trouble!
The face of the city manager changed, he retreated slightly, picked up the hanging bamboo whistle, and blew it violently!
Suddenly, a large group of people poured in, blocking the road, and the tiger-headed and eyed people couldn't walk this time!
He sneered and said, "Yes, I'll see what Yan Changwu wants to play!" ”
Flying to report to the town, soon, Yan Changwu arrived with cavalry!
He shouted from afar: "Uncle Cheng, don't say a word to the little nephew when you come back, ask the little nephew to pick up the boat!" ”
It turned out that this person's name was Cheng Tianting, one of the twenty-eight brothers of the former dragon head knot, who ran back by boat, but he didn't expect to be punished for spitting on the ground as soon as he came back!
Cheng Tianting said with a smile: "Uncle who doesn't dare to be the big dragon, the big dragon head is so majestic now, even I need money for spitting, no wonder I heard the clanging of silver when I spit out a bubble of saliva and landed!" ”
"Ahem, look at what you said!" Yan Changwu announced in public: "I, Uncle Cheng, came back from outside, and those who don't know are not guilty, and according to the urban management regulations, there is a saying of forgiveness!" And the chengguan sees many people who don't make it clear, and there are places where they can't work! ”
Everyone thought that he took care of Cheng Tianting, and thought that he was nothing more than that, but Yan Changwu's words changed and said: "But the law cannot be abolished, the fine will be collected, he is an uncle, he violates the relevant laws, and his own little nephew will work on his behalf, and the fine will be ten times, a thousand taels of silver, and I will be the nephew's agent!" ”
In this way, he not only took care of his uncle's face, so that outsiders would not say that he was mean, but also obeyed the law, the best of both worlds.
It's beautiful, anyway, Cheng Tianting will be fined ten times more than anything he does, and he will do it for him, and his silver will be handed over to his right hand, and Cheng Tianting will still have a reputation?
It's not that he's rude as a nephew, but that he's ignorant as an uncle!
Cheng Tian was very embarrassed, his face was blue, and he left angrily!
Afterwards, Chen Xinji came forward to talk about the item, and it was easy to talk about it, and finally maintained the relationship on the surface.
……
After this incident, Yan Changwu's reputation was greatly enhanced, and his position as the leader of the army was established with the development of his administrative measures and the smooth formation of his army!
Some guys, slandering him as a "big saliva faucet", in order to ridicule him for starting with saliva.
The people close to him were naturally annoyed, but Yan Changwu said calmly: "Yes, it's a big saliva faucet, my army soaks saliva one by one, and drowns them!" ”
