"Okay, okay, let's all disperse—"

"Let's let's let's, let's let's-"

"Lord Taishou is going back to the house, let me go, let me go-"

Although the scene was crowded, people still consciously separated and gave way to the middle. Subsequently, under the escort of a large number of soldiers, Xiao Yuan left here.

This is the first time in many years that the people of Qindi have gathered the hearts of the people.

There is no doubt that whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people will increase in prestige.

Xiao Yuan, the newcomer Taishou, also made people see hope.

On the way back to Taishou Mansion, Liu Yuzhi followed Xiao Yuan and said:

"From today's people's indignation, it can be seen that the influence of bullies is bad, and the adults threw down three decrees, and the matter of bullies and bandits is already being implemented, but corrupt officials and corrupt officials are even more harmful."

He is right, bullies and bandits are equivalent to skin diseases, and if they are removed, they will be removed, but the officials of Qin Land will touch the viscera.

Xiao Yuan naturally understood this truth, he thought about it for a while, and said as he walked: "This problem is not only the most serious, but also the most difficult to deal with, in the twenty-one counties of Qindi, except for Liu Changqing, the officials of other counties, more or less, have problems, if they are all dismissed, then the official system of Qindi will be paralyzed in an instant." ”

As he spoke, he added: "Therefore, before dealing with this problem, we must have enough talents to replace the official positions, so that the officials in the Qin land will be completely renewed!" ”

"What do you mean by ......"

Xiao Yuan said directly: "Recruit talents, in the name of this official, issue an official document from the state capital, convey it to all counties, and even villages, as long as there is a talented person, no matter who he is or how old he is, he can come to take the exam." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuzhi was obviously stunned for a moment.

Because at that time, if you want to choose officials, you must select talents from the children of wealthy clans, and your background is particularly important, and it is also the foundation for your career.

This is a rule and a malaise of feudal dynasties.

But Xiao Yuan is a modern person with an enlightened mind, and seeing that Liu Yuzhi didn't respond, he glanced at him and said with a slight smile:

"I don't believe it, Qin is so big and has such a population, only the wealthy and powerful families have talents? Poor countryside, ravines and ravines can't produce talents? Towns and villages, there is no one who has the ability? ”

"What this official wants is talent, not background, even if he is the son of the largest family in Qinzhou, if he has no talent, then he doesn't want to be an official, even if he is a child of a peasant family, he doesn't have a penny, as long as he can pass the exam, can show his talent and ambition, and can govern the government, then the official, dare to use him!"

Xiao Yuan's words were categorical, and when Liu Yuzhi heard this, he couldn't help but say: "My lord is really an enlightened lord, in this way, Qin Di will definitely be ruled greatly." ”

Xiao Yuan did not stick to the rules of the time, broke this situation, selected talents, only looked at talents, and only acted on talents, which not only made the officials of Qindi change blood, from top to bottom, and became new, but also laid a solid foundation for his core camp in the future.

Because once this strategy is implemented, all the officials in Qin Di will be brought up by him in the future, and it is conceivable what kind of result this will be.

The two chatted while walking, and after a short time, they came to the front of the Taishou Mansion.

And here, a small episode is happening.

A young woman, with messy hair, many scars on her body, and a dirty face, was kneeling not far from the front of the house.

Taishou is in front of the mansion, but there are guards, how can she be allowed to be here, at this moment, there is also a soldier talking in front of the woman.

After two sentences, the soldiers lost patience and began to scold coldly: "Bold people's daughter! This is the Taishou Mansion, how can you be presumptuous! If you don't retreat, go to jail! ”

But the woman was not afraid, and knelt there, unmoved.

The soldiers were immediately furious, and they were just about to make a move, but at this time, Xiao Yuan and his party happened to return to the house, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but stop and asked them, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh? My lord. Seeing that it was Xiao Yuan, the soldier hurriedly bent down and hugged his fist, and then said truthfully: "This woman has been kneeling here for some reason, and her subordinates have asked the reason, but she has not spoken, so she ......."

Xiao Yuan understood, what can a folk girl do kneeling in front of the Taishou Mansion? Thinking of this, he also looked at the woman and asked aloud: "Do you have grievances?" ”

"You're Taishou-sama?" But the woman didn't answer the question.

Xiao Yuan was slightly stunned at first, then nodded and said, "That's right, I am." ”

As soon as his words fell, the woman began to kowtow: "Thank you, Lord for saving your life-"

This time, Xiao Yuan was even more puzzled, because he didn't know the woman at all.

"This woman, where do you feel like you've seen it......" However, looking at the woman's appearance, Ye Cheng on the side muttered.

His voice was very small, but Xiao Yuan was next to him, and he couldn't help but glance at him suspiciously.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng also seemed to suddenly remember something, and patted his head and said: "By the way, my lord, I remembered, this woman is one of the people who was imprisoned in the dungeon by Ding Laosi before." ”

After speaking, he began to explain: "At that time, all the women were rescued, and everyone was either crying, or was greatly frightened, or made a mess, but this woman, in that case, sat quietly in the corner, so the lowly position was more impressed with her. ”

I see, she's here to thank you?

After Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled at the woman: "Girl, get up quickly, you don't have to be like this, these are all what this official should do, Ding Laosi and the other thieves have all been subdued, you better go home quickly." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and go home.

"Your Excellency!" But at this time, the woman hurriedly said: "You are very gracious, and the little woman will remember it forever, only for this life and this life, to be a cow and a horse, and to repay the kindness." ”

"Hey." Xiao Yuan sighed, had to stop again, and said: "This official said, as a taishou, it is a responsibility to eliminate bullies and return justice to the people, the girl doesn't need to say thank you, and she doesn't have to repay her kindness, so let's go back and reunite with her family quickly." ”

"I ...... I don't have a home. The woman lowered her head slightly and said, "The parents of the girl have been forced to death by the bullies and are homeless." ”

As she spoke, she raised her head again, looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "The folk girl knows that the adult must be disgusted, but the folk girl can do any dirty work and tiring work, just to repay the adult's kindness!" ”

Her eyes were very serious, revealing a stubbornness, and from what Ye Cheng said before, Xiao Yuan knew that this might be a girl with a strong heart.

Take her in?

Xiao Yuan hesitated a little.

At this time, Liu Yuzhi whispered: "My lord, now that you have been appointed as the Taishou of Qinzhou, but up and down the mansion, there is no subordinate and maid, it is time to get a housekeeper, recruit some maids, and settle the house." ”

He is right, since he has taken root in Qinzhou, he must have the appearance of home.

Butlers, servants, maidservants, these should all be considered.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan also looked at the woman: "What's your name?" ”

"People's girl Chu Ning." The woman hurriedly replied.

"Chu Ning? Well, good name. Xiao Yuan said again: "There is a shortage of maidservants in my house, if the girl doesn't dislike ......"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the woman was already crying with joy.

At that time, it was not like now, during the war years, it was already good for the people to have food and clothing, and the dignity and humility were clear, and the women of ordinary families would mostly be servants in the rich and noble, not to mention too guarded houses, and the ordinary women could be servants here, which was actually very good.

Chu Ning is now helpless, Xiao Yuan is willing to take her in, this is not only a place for her, but also can repay her kindness, how can she not be excited.
