At about noon the next day, all the hundreds of officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen took the initiative, and half of them were responsible for putting up notices close to 1,000 characters at the intersections of the streets and alleys in Tokyo, and the contents of the writing were all about the promulgation and implementation of the newly formulated traffic rules in Tokyo from 4 o'clock in the afternoon today.

Considering that at that time, there were still many people who were illiterate, in addition to being able to write their own names, Dou Da could not read half a pocket, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Baozheng, but also specially from the Guozi Prison, invited the prison students, in front of the notice, to the onlookers of the Li people, over and over again.

The other half of the people walked the streets and alleys with the gong banging on the bells, and publicized the traffic rules to passers-by, as well as the shops and households on both sides of the streets, in a smooth way, emphasizing that all those who entered the city of Tokyo, whether it was the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers, or the common people's peddlers and pawns, must abide by them, and no one can be exempted.

Among them, there is a slip of the tongue, which is from the hand of Wang Hao, the street secretary, that is: red flag stop, green flag line, yellow flag and so on.

The officials of Kaifeng Prefecture have all taken action, and the soldiers of the Street Division can naturally be idle, and before three o'clock in the afternoon, at the crossroads and three-way intersections of the main streets and alleys in Tokyo City, there are already two soldiers from the Street Division in place.

I saw that standing in the middle of the intersection, a soldier of the street division, holding a small flag of red, green and yellow in his right hand, every time he recited it in his heart twenty times, he used his left hand to raise the small red and green flags respectively.

In the middle of raising the small red and green flags, you need to hold up the small yellow flag with your left hand, recite it silently in your mind five times, and then withdraw it, and so on and so on.

Another soldier of the street division who stayed at the intersection and the three-way intersection, naturally he was not idle, he was carrying a small wooden barrel with white paint inside, according to the instructions and requirements of the previous street division, in the three or four directions of the intersection or the three-way intersection, using a brush to brush one by one white paint marks, the soldiers of the street division learned from Wang Hao that this thing is called "sidewalk" or "zebra crossing".

Although, for the first time the soldiers of the Street Division, they had heard of this thing, and they saw that it was a very new matter, because most of them had long been accustomed to their young and promising boss, and they had come up with a lot of wonderful ideas before, so they were not strange and accustomed to it, and there was no doubt among them.

In addition, according to the content of the notice posted by Kaifeng Prefecture, starting at 4 o'clock in the afternoon today, all pedestrians, horses, and vehicles must keep to the right, which applies to everyone entering the city of Tokyo.

In order to prevent pedestrians, vehicles or horses from colliding in traffic accidents like last time, Wang Hao also deliberately led his soldiers in the street division to use white paint to separate the wide road into vehicular and horse sidewalks and sidewalks from the main roads in Tokyo.

At the same time, on both sides of the bustling commercial street, Wang Hao also personally led people to use white paint to draw their business scope for each stall on both sides of the street, including the shops on both sides of the street.

It took about seven days of hard work to implement the new traffic regulations implemented by Bao Zheng, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Wang Hao, the secretary of the street, which has achieved initial results.

Song Renzong heard the report of Yin Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion in the court, and under the great joy of Long Yan, he immediately gave Bao Zheng and Wang Hao 100,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan respectively as a reward for the two of them.

On this day, after the early dynasty, Bao Zheng returned to the Kaifeng Mansion, and after having a breakfast, he took a carriage and went straight to the same street in Liangmen Street.

After all, after seven days of implementation of the current new traffic regulations, some results have indeed been obtained, but there is still a big gap between the content description and the previous two notes.

Wang Hao, who was thinking hard about how to implement the new traffic regulations step by step in the office room, suddenly heard a report from a miscellaneous servant outside the office: "Report to Wang Sicheng, the official of Kaifeng Mansion Yin Bao is here!" ”

If it was placed on weekdays, someone interrupted his train of thought, whether it was the miscellaneous servant of the Street Division or his good brother Zhang Sanmu, Wang Hao would scold him angrily to relieve the irritability in his heart.

At about this childhood, Wang Hao, who was sitting in front of the desk, did not get angry at the handyman outside the door of the office room, but quickly stood up, pushed the door out, and greeted Bao Zheng who had walked in from the front yard gate of the street department with a smile.

Wang Hao, who was smiling on his face, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and bowed to Bao Zheng who was walking opposite: "The lower officials don't know that Bao Gong is coming, and they are not welcomed, and they still look forward to Bao Gong Haihan." ”

Seeing that Wang Hao was so respectful to him, Bao Zheng naturally didn't want to say anything, but waved his hand and said very politely: "Wang Sicheng, you and I are old acquaintances, and now there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so restrained in private." Let's go to your office and talk. ”

Wang Hao, who was standing in front of the office room, made a "please" gesture at Bao Zheng, and let Bao Zheng into his office room, and then followed him into the room.

Don't look at the office room used by Wang Hao It looks a little cramped, and it is only twenty square meters when it is full, isn't there such a saying, called "Although the sparrow is small, it is complete", Wang Hao's office room is like this.

After entering the office room, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng sat down on the chairs on both sides of the coffee table next to the window lattice, as soon as their buttocks sat down, a very discerning handyman brought up two cups of hot tea, a cup of tea with condiments was placed on the side of the coffee table near Bao Zheng, and the other cup of tea without condiments was placed on the side of the coffee table near Wang Hao.

"Xia Guan has not seen Bao Gong for seven days, and Bao Gong made a special trip to come today, there must be something important to inform Xia Guan, I don't know why Bao Gong came here?" After Wang Hao sat on the chair on the right side of the coffee table, he asked with some curiosity when the handyman who brought the tea left the office.

Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the chair on the left side of the coffee table, with a smile on his face, first praised Wang Hao's work in recent days, and said: "Bao knows that you Wang Sicheng have been very busy in recent days, taking people to patrol the streets during the day, and taking people to use white paint brushing on the street at night. ”

Speaking of this, Bao Zheng paused for a few moments, then changed his words and asked rhetorically: "However, fortunately, you and I have not worked in vain in these seven days, and the officials have seen it, and the new traffic regulations implemented in the past seven days have also achieved initial results."

"The ministers of the DPRK and China, who had previously opposed it, have also softened their attitudes. Although they don't support it, they don't oppose it, which makes the official family happy in today's Chinese court. Wang Sicheng, guess what, why did Bao come here today? ”

After listening to what Bao Zheng said, Wang Hao only thought about it for a while, and then boldly guessed: "Listening to what Bao Gong said, the official family will not reward the lower officials, but add officials to the lower officials, right?" ”

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately gave Wang Hao some earnest teaching: "Wang Sicheng, you really dare to guess!" How can it be so easy to add an official to a knight, you are twenty years old, and you are already an official from the eighth grade, which is one step faster than those who have taken the imperial examination and won the jinshi.

"Besides, you are still a Beijing official from the eighth grade, and most of those high school jinshi will be sent out to remote places to be officials. The official family promoted you to the street secretary, and in less than a month, you want to be promoted to the official, what kind of system is this? ”

At this point, Bao Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief, changed his words, turned to a happy face, and continued: "However, Wang Sicheng, you have only guessed half right, the official family is above today's court, and it is indeed a reward for you. No, let Bao bring it to you and hand it over to you. ”

After finishing speaking, Bao Zheng rushed to the outside of the office room with the door open, and ordered loudly: "Come, bring the things I brought, and let Wang Sicheng take a look." ”

After a while, two attendants carried in a large basket, covered with a lid, and placed it in the open space in front of Wei Wang Hao.

After Bao Zhengping retired from the two accompanying officials, he took a sip of hot tea, and then reminded: "Wang Sicheng, what are you still doing in a daze, don't you lift the lid yet, and see what is in this basket, the things in this basket are all given to you by the officials." ”

Being reminded by Bao Zheng like this, Wang Hao quickly got up and squatted in front of the basket, stretched out his hand to lift the lid on it, and looked down to see it.

What Wang Hao never expected was that what Song Renzong Zhao Zhen rewarded him with turned out to be a basket of copper coins.

Seeing a large basket of Qingli Tongbao, Wang Hao, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head to look at Bao Zheng who was sitting on the chair, and asked curiously: "Bao Gong, can you tell the lower officials, how much money is in this basket?" ”

After eating two sips of tea, Bao Zheng replied: "The official family rewarded you with 50,000 yuan, and your monthly income is only 2,000 yuan, which is a lot of money." If you take the 50,000 yuan rewarded by the official family, it should be more than enough to buy a house with a main house and east and west wings in the outer city of Tokyo. ”

Just now, when Wang Hao saw that the big basket contained the copper coins of "Qingli Tongbao", his heart was still very excited.

However, it was only a moment's work, and when Wang Hao learned that the copper coins in the big basket were only 50,000 yuan, the smile on his cheeks disappeared suddenly.

According to the conversion of copper coins and silver at that time, one thousand coins is equal to one tael of silver, and fifty thousand coins is only fifty taels of silver.

"What? Wang Sicheng, the official family rewarded you with 50,000 yuan, you should be happy. Bao looked at you, why did you still look sullen? At this time, Bao Zheng, like a curious baby, asked Wang Hao with some doubts.
