Tang Ying rushed directly into Lu Yuan's room, and didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan up: "Lu Lang, wake up quickly." ”

Lu Yuan had no choice but to get up, open his sleepy eyes, and asked, "What's going on, are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's a very important matter, most of the people from the Senate of the Citizens' Assembly came, and they didn't come as they said the day before yesterday, but the people from the Supervision Department found that there were many gentry and businessmen who were secretly bribing many citizen representatives, and even married their own daughters, even if the family of citizen representatives was still very shabby, and they had to marry their daughters to make up for it, what do you say is this?"

After Tang Ying said a little angrily, he said to Lu Yuan with some reproach: "Look, this is what you ask the grassroots level to not just let the squires have the final say, but as a result, they still have a way, I have issued a strict order to suspend the citizens' assembly and cancel the qualifications of these citizen representatives who collect money to marry the daughter of the gentry!" Re-election! ”

"Why are you so angry, in fact, I have already expected this, do you really think that the kind of "dish cooking" I said will really appear, because you are still a daughter of a bureaucratic family who reads poetry and books, this is inevitable! Many times we are like the world of lions, tigers and rabbits, where big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and the weak eat the strong, this is the basic law of nature, although we have to build civilization in order to maintain the basic stability and order of the world and accumulate more wealth, and establish rules to protect the weak, but it cannot change this natural law. ”

Lu Yuan said that he took a sip of tea.

"Then what should we do, do we really let them, the squires, still control our mighty army?"

Tang Ying asked with some loss.

"My young grandmother, you have a problem with your ass now, you yourself are a guerrilla general of the Wei Commander, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, your husband and I are the same as you, and your father has now been promoted to the household department of Yunnan Qing Servant Shilangzhong, your brother is about to become a lifter, and it is beneficial for the squires to control our mighty army, why are you unhappy."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"But Lu Lang, didn't you say that people's greed is unlimited, once it goes on like this, won't it still force these ordinary people to be cornered, and then cut off our heads, we have to let these ordinary people live and live well! The best, our mighty army can always be supported by the people, and it will continue to be so good. ”

Tang Ying said.

"The mighty army will naturally continue to be so good, you actually think about it, the people in our mighty army base are actually happier than other people, because they can at least exchange the votes of the citizens' assembly for a large sum of money or a squire's daughter, isn't it, this is also conducive to mating smarter children, just like you will marry me, isn't it?"

Lu Yuan pounced on Tang Ying as he spoke.

Tang Ying couldn't help but hug Lu Yuan to prevent him from falling: "Lu Lang, you're going to break it again!" ”

An hour later.

Lu Yuan and Tang Ying were honest and lay flat on the bed.

Tang Ying hooked Lu Yuan's cheek with green silk, and said with a happy smile: "Lu Lang, do you mean to say that if we let them go on like this, we will really be helpless about it?" ”

Lu Yuan gasped and said: "It's not that you can't do anything, changing the Han people is not an overnight thing, think about it, how many years did those emperors use Confucianism to train us Han people to be obedient people, more than a thousand years!" We want to change their ignorance, how can it be an overnight thing, the only thing that can be solved is to set up education, change their ignorance, so that more people can read and reason, do you think that if our next generation in the future all reads, will they be willing to be bought by a wife or a sum of money for the power to decide their own interests? ”

"What Lu Lang said is that education is indeed the most important thing, and it is the only thing we can do now, and it may take several generations of hard work, but unfortunately, the slave family has not been able to conceive one for Lu Lang, and I also want to have my own baby."

Tang Ying couldn't help but pout.

"It's okay, it's not your business alone, we'll work hard every day in the future!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Of course, Tang Ying, who is in charge of civil affairs, still ordered that they be severely punished for the citizens' assembly bribing citizen representatives and the citizen representatives who accepted bribes, and even shot them directly in serious cases, and even paraded in the streets at the lightest!

The soldiers and civilians of the mighty army can also be regarded as recognizing the tough side of their young grandmother.

And because of this, and because it has just begun, the people are still relatively simple, so that the initial citizens' assembly can still maintain the ideal state.

After Liu Liangru came to the Guantao County Citizens' Assembly, he still met Yan Erjin, the dung picker who had worked short-term at his house.

Yan Erjin didn't have a good impression of Liu Liangru, first of all, he also remembered that when he came to the citizens' meeting for the first time to greet Master Liu, who was in a production brigade with him, the other party actually ignored him and said that it was insulting for him to talk to him, which made Yan Erjin very angry.

Yan Erjin also simply wore the dirty clothes when he was picking dung and entered the citizens' assembly, in order to show that he was a dung picker, and then when he met people, he said that he wanted to show that he would cherish the power given to him by Lu Guanye and all the dung pickers, and then safeguard the interests of the dung pickers.

This made many people pinch their noses when they saw him, but Yan Erjin didn't care, and was even very proud.

At present, the citizens' assembly is mainly concerned with the election and appointment of officials of some new production groups and production teams, and even production brigades.

According to the requirements set by Lu Yuan and Tang Ying, students who pass the Weiwu Military Civil Affairs Examination can automatically obtain the status of an officer, and then accept the screening and appointment of the citizens' assembly.

Of course, veterans are also directly given the status of officers, and then they are also directly selected and appointed by the citizens' assembly.

The first citizens' assembly in Guantao County also officially began, and the first agenda item was also the election of the director of a new production brigade.

At the meeting, Liu Liangru and Yan Erjin fought on their respective behalf.

Liu believes that He Mingmao has meritorious fame and outstanding knowledge, and is more suitable for the position of director of the production brigade of Jingkou Township! And the Zhang team should recuperate well because of heart disease, which is not conducive to engaging in the work of managing the people. ”

Liu Liangru said.

"What Master Liu said was playing the piano indiscriminately, the Zhang team just had a heart disease, but it was not serious, Dr. An just said that he should not be engaged in field soldiers, so as not to burst his blood vessels, but it is not that he can't engage in civil affairs, and he is better at managing the militia! What's more, he is still the old man of the official! I only support Team Zhang to take care of us, but he and I used to be in the same township, and they know how to grow crops and build reservoirs! It's stronger than the young master He who didn't grow any hair, and he couldn't tell the difference between millet and wheat! ”

Yan Erjin retorted directly.

"You! What do you know as a fool, who said that to be the director of the production brigade, you must know the grains, and the most important thing is to be highly respected! ”

Liu Liangru couldn't help but scold angrily.

At this time, the chairman of the Senate of the citizens' assembly hurriedly patted the shocked wood: "Deputy Liu, please pay attention to your words, the official and the young grandmother have stipulated that you must not humiliate others at the conference!" ”

"Yan Erjin, you should also pay attention, don't make sarcastic remarks about candidates."

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is also busy reminding.

Yan Erjin muttered unconvinced: "What I said is the truth, the surname He didn't know what millet was and what wheat, I listened to what my nephew said, it was a well-known joke in the Civil Affairs Academy." ”
