Qian Qianyi's suggestion should be said to have grasped the key to the failure of the previous election. If no one comes, find someone to choose for you. The result is that one person's opinion represents the opinion of many. If you really want to be able to represent, what else to choose? It is not easier to let the higher officials represent everyone. The reason why it is necessary to directly elect officials. It is to consider respecting the rights of every person. If you really want to let the superiors represent it all, some people will not want to. So the best thing to do is to come to the person to exercise your rights. If you don't come, you have given up your rights. It is better to let others represent than to represent.

Not allowing substitute elections is a way for Qian Qianyi to avoid disputes. Another way to avoid unfairness is for people from their own villages not to run for election. In the current situation where families live in groups, it is common everywhere. Non-local participation is in line with the recusal system. That is, no matter how many relatives and clansmen you have. None of them have the right to vote for you. Suppose the people were allowed to vote. Then it should not be the minority obeying the majority. Rather, it should be the very small part of the people who obey the majority. This is the choice of the patriarch or the village chief. The head of the township could not choose that. Because it is very rare for a township to be a family.

Yang Lian thought about it and felt that Qian Qianyi's two suggestions were not very comprehensive. The people of the village are not allowed to choose their own people, and they are not allowed to elect on their behalf. There is no compulsion to come to the election. As a result, there is a high probability that no one will come to the polls. It really came time when there were more candidates on the stage than there were voters below. Then this election becomes a joke. Back in Beijing, Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi did not end well.

Yang Lian is a person who speaks when he has something to say. Thinking of this, he asked Qian Qianyi what to do if no one was willing to come. Qian Qianyi thought for a while, but there was no good way. While the two of them were thinking carefully. The guards outside the gate reported that the county's county supervisor Zhang had returned. Now I'm asking to see Tu County Commander outside. When Yang Lian heard this, he immediately called for the two of them to come in. What he wanted was to tell Qian Qianyi's suggestions and his own worries. Look what these two local parents have to say.

After the county supervisor Zhang came in to salute, he felt that Yang Lian was very familiar. He was transferred from another position to the post of county commissioner. Two years ago, I once went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to see Yang Lian. I didn't say anything, but I was impressed. Seeing that the county supervisor Zhang was suspicious, Yang Lian knew that he might be reminiscing. So he said to Tu County: "At first, I discussed it with Lord Qian. It was decided to set a new rule for tomorrow's election. That is, after a few candidates sit down, only people from other villages are allowed to vote. The votes cast by the people of the village do not count. The second is that no substitute election is allowed. Those who vote for themselves and don't come are considered abstentions. Tu Zhixian will go and inform now. I gave a specific explanation to the county supervisor Zhang. ”

Tu Zhixian Xindao has a new trick this time. I don't know if the effect will be the same as the last pilot place. Finally, they were selected according to the above requirements, but they still didn't get a good face. But he didn't say much, and he agreed and went out. After the Tu County Order withdrew, County Supervisor Zhang also seemed to remember Yang Lian's identity. A little incredulous, he asked, "May I ask if the two adults are Lord Yang and Master Qian this time." At first, I was notified at the state government that the two Qin were not coming. Why did the two adults suddenly appear here again? ”

Yang Lian nodded and smiled: "We are not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers this time, nor are we here to put on a show." The main thing is to see for yourself how well the pilot works. Suppose we put the pomp and circumstance of the Chin Cha away. Then you can't see the truth and you can't hear the truth. Tu Zhixian only knew that we were Qincha's subordinates, and Zhang County Supervisor didn't want to say it. You know, we don't have to choose success this time. It's about finding the shortcomings and improving them as soon as possible. I'm going to start choosing tomorrow. The candidates and the people who came to vote were notified. Tomorrow we will be going to disguise ourselves and hear for ourselves how the people really feel. Don't let us fool us by saying hello to the following beforehand. ”

County Supervisor Zhang said: "The two adults can rest assured. A total of five candidates were selected half a month ago. These people have long seen that they will not be selected, but they have no ability to do things. Any one of them is capable of holding the post of township chief. Since the two adults want to listen to the true thoughts of the people. Then tomorrow I will also disguise myself and accompany the two adults to listen to the people. It's just that at first, Lord Yang said that the two adults discussed a decision. It is said that the people of the village do not elect, and the people of the village are not allowed to elect on their behalf. The lower officials were worried that the people would lose interest in voting. ”

County Supervisor Zhang's worries and Yang Lian's worries have all gone together. But it's also normal. Everyone left their work behind to vote in the election. The picture is to vote for your own people. As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. At present, the people of the village do not choose candidates from their own village. It's equivalent to working outsiders, what's the point? And the more you choose, the more disadvantageous it is for the candidates in your village. Only a fool would come to carry a sedan chair for someone else.

Yang Lian saw that Zhang County Supervisor also said the same. So he said, "I started to have this concern. I'm discussing a solution with Mr. Qian. There is nothing that can be done by the county supervisor Zhang. ”

Zhang said: "If you just want people to come to the election and vote, then it will be easy to do." The person who announced it directly gave ten cents. If you come, you will pay on the spot. Of course, it is necessary to check the yellow book, so that outsiders will not come to mix money. According to the price of one tael of silver and one stone of grain in the imperial court in recent years. Ten cents can be exchanged for a liter of rice or seven hex rice. It's enough for a few people in a family to chew for a day. I believe that anyone is willing to earn this money. The question is that the people who come to the election from other villages, and the candidates from this village will certainly not be happy. Villages that don't have candidates may still feel indifferent. Villages with candidates are a bit more difficult. ”

Seeing that the county supervisor Zhang had no choice. Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi also shook their heads and didn't say anything. At this time, Tu County sent someone to say that the meal was ready. said that Tu County Ling was personally asking if he could bring the food over now. As soon as Yang Lian and the others heard it, they knew that Tu County's order was avoiding suspicion. What kind of meal should the county master go to Zhang Luo in person. It can only be said that Tu County Ling was worried about being misunderstood, and he was embarrassed to send it directly. After all, Yang Lian began to tell him to avoid.

Qian Qianyi said at this time: "When we were eating, we would like to ask Tu County Order. He has experience in dealing with local affairs, and asks him what good ideas he has. ”

County Supervisor Zhang said while leading the way: "Tu County Ling is not very old and has a lot of experience. I've seen him here a few times in a very orderly manner when he deals with the affairs of the county. And there are all kinds of eclectic and wild ways. Ask him if he might have a good idea. ”

Yang Lian and the others began to be in the main room in the backyard. Under the leadership of County Supervisor Zhang, everyone came to the side room. Tu County Ling was bringing a few people and carrying a few large food boxes to wait on the side. Seeing that Yang Lian and the others arrived, they immediately asked someone to open the food box and serve it to the table. While asking someone to serve the food, he also looked at the faces of Yang Lian and the others. I was afraid that Yang Lian and the others would say something ugly.

Seeing that Tu County's order ordered people to put out seven or eight dishes, as well as soup. Yang Lian said: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, it is necessary to routinely save in the past few years. There are rules and regulations on the standard for DPRK and Chinese officials to eat at local areas. We can't eat these dishes today. Why don't we eat together and discuss something by the way? ”

Tu County Ling saw that Yang Lian did not suspect that there were too many vegetables, nor did he suspect that there were too many vegetables. In his heart, he immediately said: "Since the adults don't dislike us, we will accompany each other here." After speaking, he sat down politely.

Qian Qianyi knew what Tu County Ling was worried about. In the past few years, food has been very tight throughout the country. The imperial court has a strict decree that local reception expenses should be controlled as much as possible. Not only should the cost be controlled, but also the type should be clearly defined. For example, county hospitality officials who are severely short of food are not allowed to see fish and meat. There is also a ration for the amount of meat in the food-stressed prefectures. Even in counties where there is no shortage of food, extravagance and waste are not allowed. This was the case before, but now that conditions have improved, there is no explicit provision for the revocation of the previous order. This leaves the county orders at a loss. If you have the heart to entertain better, you are afraid of being scolded and wasted. If you don't entertain yourself, you're afraid of being scolded. Anyway, it's not pleasing at both ends.

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "This is the vicinity of Jingshi, so naturally there will be no shortage of things." Tu Zhi County's use of these entertains is not too much for us. The four of us even ate meat and vegetarian food and soup to eat ten dishes. However, I heard that some prefectures exceed the specifications. As long as you find the right reason, no one will say anything about you. Of course, you just have to do the same, don't go too far. ”

Tu Xianling personally got up, poured a circle of wine, and then toasted everyone. Seeing that no one said anything, if you think of something to say, you shouldn't start by yourself. So he followed Qian Qianyi's words and asked, "May I ask Mr. Qian, what is the matter with what you said about exceeding the specifications and finding a suitable reason." To tell you the truth, the lower officials have done those thankless things a few times. Master Qian taught me to be a subordinate official, and I will be able to learn from it in the future. ”

Yang Lian would not have allowed such a thing to happen. However, he also knew that the old system in the new environment was indeed unpopular. I'm thinking about it for a while. If the standard is raised, the standard will be raised. Everyone does things clearly and behaves innocently. Don't end up with the officials of the Ming Dynasty becoming hypocrites in front of them and behind their backs. It was precisely because of this idea that he did not stop Qian Qianyi from saying any suitable reason. I thought it was also a way to get closer to local officials.

Qian Qianyi said: "It is said that there is a county because it is very poor. According to the rules, they were not allowed to see meat from the officials who received them from above. But one day a messenger passed by. And this Chin Cha is known for his love of meat. Guess what the prefectural ordinance of this county should do. ”

County Supervisor Zhang said: "Is it to make meat into vegetables?" ”

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "No." If that's the case, people will still know. ”

Tu County Ling asked: "Is it to serve the food first and serve the meat quietly." ”

Qian Qianyi said: "It's not right. In that case, maybe the chincha didn't wait for you to bring the meat and walked away. I'll tell you. The county order was to bring the meat directly. And told the Chin Cha generously. It is said that the mutton served is a sheep that has been bitten half dead by a wolf. If you don't eat sheep, you can't live, so it's better to eat. ”

Yang Lian laughed when he heard this: "I have heard this story. Is it this Chin cha later all other counties. This county is also a poor county, and a few fish were brought up, and it was said that they were killed by wolves. Even Qin Cha couldn't listen to it anymore. yelled, 'Stupid thing. You won't say that the otter bit to death. That's not what Mr. Qian is talking about. ”
