Although Wang Demin took leave to go home to recuperate, he has been paying close attention to Guo Zhiyuan's every move, and when he heard that he went to visit the local squire, he laughed at Bai Du on the side: "Guo Zhiyuan is already exhausted in donkey skills, and he actually wants to go to those iron roosters to raise donations, if he can get money like this, my name is written upside down, it seems that it won't be long before he will get out!" ……”

Bai Du on the side also showed a sneer on his face, no one knows the virtues of these local squires better than him, when he first came to Gutian County to serve as a county magistrate, he also thought of such a method, took the initiative to visit the local squire forces, and wanted them to contribute to local public welfare, but the result was a hot face and a cold ass, if it wasn't for the fact that he got involved with the Sun family through his family relationship and got the support of the Sun family, he would not have been able to gain a foothold in Gutian.

Guo Zhiyuan and they ran for several days in a row and visited dozens of squires, but they didn't raise a penny, but they listened to a lot of cold words and became angry.

As soon as Guo Zhiyuan came back, he was so angry that he dropped all the black yarn hats, and said angrily: "It's all iron roosters!" My dignified county magistrate personally deigned to visit the door, and they didn't give any face at all, especially the Sun and Chen families, who were the most hateful, and actually avoided them, did they really think they were the emperor of the soil?! ……”

Xu Guangqi picked up Guo Zhiyuan's black gauze hat that fell to the ground, dusted off it, and said, "Childe is a person who does great things, why is he so unbreathable?" Socializing with these local squires was a combination of interests, and they refused to donate money because Childe did not come up with something that could impress them......"

Guo Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed to take the black gauze hat handed over by Xu Guangqi, scratched his head and said: "Mr. is right, I am indeed too composed, but I am now a bare-rod county order, and I am so poor that I can't even open the pot, what can I do to impress these squires who are better than foxes?" ……”

Xu Guangqi shook his head and said: "What I said about can impress these squires is not necessarily a physical object, it can also be a virtual thing, such as reputation and power, but it can't be too obvious, otherwise it is easy to give people a handle, attack the son to collect wealth with power, and also grasp the proportion, otherwise the squire has too much power, which is not conducive to the future governance and management of the son, and I haven't thought about how to operate it yet!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he thought about it with understanding, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and four words suddenly came to mind: Justice of the Peace! Those who have watched Hong Kong movies should be very impressed by the term Justice of the Peace, although there are usually no Justice of the Peace in these movies, but often after the villain supporting role is arrested, there will be a plot where a certain Justice of the Peace can be released on bail pending trial, and then the protagonist can only watch the villain supporting role triumphantly let go from the police station, so this Justice of the Peace who did not appear from beginning to end suddenly left the audience with a force. Very high impression.

In reality, it is true that in Hong Kong, the Justice of the Peace is a symbol of status, which makes the rich in Hong Kong rush to seek the title of Justice of the Peace in every possible way, otherwise even if you are rich, if you are not a Justice of the Peace, you will not be able to become a top person in high society.

In fact, the Justices of the Peace is just a measure launched by the British in order to strengthen their colonial rule, and the colonial government appoints private people to take up the positions of maintaining community peace, preventing illegal punishment and dealing with some simple legal procedures, not only in Hong Kong, but also in many British colonies There are Justices of the Peace, but I have to say that this trick is really effective, Hong Kong was prosperous and stable during the British colonial period, and the Justices of the Peace did play a big role.

The Justices of the Peace not only alleviated the conflict between the British and the natives of the colonies, but also made the British rule over the colonies more stable, allowing the natives of the colonies to manage their own people, and they became emperors in the future, which benefited and saved manpower.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan values this most is not this, the key is that not everyone can be a Justice of the Peace, it depends on the contribution, what is the contribution? Donate money! If you want to be a Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, you don't even think about donating tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, even so, Hong Kong tycoons like to get a charitable foundation or something, that is, to be a Justice of the Peace to send money to the British!

Damn, Lao Tzu took the initiative to visit you, but you made me put a hot face on my cold ass, this time Lao Tzu wants you to turn upside down and beg me, and hurry up to send money to Lao Tzu! Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.

Xu Guangqi on the side looked at Guo Zhiyuan a little inexplicably, and said in his heart, Isn't the son so anxious that he is crazy, why did he suddenly laugh with a sad face? Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly told Xu Guangqi his thoughts, Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he exclaimed: "This method is wonderful!" Childe is very human, and he can come up with such a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan said that he would do it, and immediately asked Zhang Cheng to find a pen and paper and began to write: "In order to announce the matter, this county has been appointed by the grace of the saint as the Gutian County Order, since the revitalization of Gutian and the benefit of the people, but the county is only sparse and shallow, and the newcomer is not aware of the county situation, I am afraid that there will be a negative grace of the saint, the court trusts, Gutian is the Gutian of the people of Gutian, so the county intends to be selected as a Justice of the Peace from the people who have contributed greatly, and the county will jointly manage Gutian...... Justices of the Peace are entitled to the privilege of not kneeling before the court, participating in the trial of civil cases, inspecting prisons, and reporting grievances...... Work with the county to maintain local stability and prosperity, and build a peaceful Gutian...... Youyou Gutian, a thousand-year-old county, there are many sages and scholars, but they are not recorded in history, which is suffocating, but those who are justices of the peace, will be awarded medals, and the people need to salute when they see those who wear the peace medals, and their deeds are published in the "County Chronicles", leaving a name in history, and having honor. Those who want to elect justices of the peace can come to Jingshan Pavilion to recommend themselves, but those who abide by the law and have no bad deeds on weekdays are eligible to run for election. Guo Zhiyuan, Gutian Zhixian County, February 2, 32nd year of Wanli. ”。

Xu Guangqi's eyes brightened even more after reading the announcement written by Guo Zhiyuan, and he gave a thumbs up and said: "Gongzi Dacai, as soon as this announcement comes out, Gutian can be determined!" ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan threw the brush in his hand in a dashing manner, and laughed: "Mr. praised it falsely, I am now more concerned about whether this notice can raise money if it is posted!" ”。

Xu Guangqi glanced at Guo Zhiyuan, clapped his hands and laughed: "Son's announcement can be worth 10,000 taels of silver!" ……”

At that moment, Guo Zhiyuan asked Xu Guangqi to polish the notice a little, and called Zhao Shizhen, Shen Lingyu and other people who could write, copied dozens of copies of the notice written by Guo Zhiyuan, stamped Guo Zhiyuan's official seal one by one, and then asked Zhang Cheng and Chu Wan'er to post the notice everywhere, and even the towns around the county town were all pasted.
