Xu Chu set the time for summoning the officials in the county five days later, and in order to show solemnity, he made an exception to recall the county chiefs, as well as Gan Ning in the Weishui camp.

Except for a few Ruyang City who ordered Li Min not to come under the pretext of not coming, they have all been called.

So in the past five days, there have been convoys of people rushing to Yanling County, and those who are eager to learn about the new policy of Taishou or wealthy businessmen have also arrived with their entourage.

Some good people even set up a market in the wine shop, and the first game between the Yingchuan clan and the new Taishou was actually regarded as a pastime for gamblers.

It's no wonder that these people, except for wars and disputes, Yingchuan hasn't been so lively for a long time. In the past, the Taishou Yin cultivator wore the same pants as the scholars, how could there be such a good show today.

In the east of Yanling County, an old man passed by Yingchuan with his family, preparing to return to his hometown of Chenliu County. This old man has gone through the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and the last time he was framed was twelve years ago, when he offended Wang Yuan, the younger brother of Wuyuan Taishou and Zhongchang Wang Fu, and was forced to flee to Wudi.

One hiding, for twelve years.

Twelve years later, his daughter has long passed the marriageable age, yes, two years older than the young Yingchuan Taishou.

The old man has mixed feelings, Chen Taiqiu, who is also a teacher and friend, is gone, and his grandson Chen Qun is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is a rare talent...... Yingchuan County was changed to Yanling County, and I heard that a new military camp was built on the edge of the river...... Time has passed, and the vicissitudes of life.

The old man walked through the lively streets, and his daughter helped him out of the carriage.

The front of the Taishou Mansion was full of people, and a team of soldiers were dressed in strong and stubborn clothes, separating the flow of people from the Taishou Mansion.

"Nonsense." The old man shook his head.

"Father, won't you go in?" The woman wore a veil and could not see her true face. is dressed in a plain robe, but he can't hide his graceful posture.

"No, we'll just stand at the door for a while. Yan'er, bring a straw mat for your father, he is old, and he will not stand for long. ”

The old man spread a straw mat outside the house and sat down, and the woman was beside him, slim and slim.

The crowd looked sideways, and at this time, the officials who came to play the right game came one after another, attracting everyone's attention again.

Everyone is in Russia, showing the prestige of Han officials. The officials rushed in, and someone glanced in the direction of the old man.

It's a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is. Maybe it's the old friends of the elders in the family, and they don't have time to pay attention to it at the moment.

……

……

Why did this play make the city stormy?

Xun Chen sat at the head of Zhu Cao, thinking back to the crowd he saw outside the mansion just now, and couldn't help frowning. Needless to say, there must be someone behind the scenes. Xun Chen himself has never done it, and no one in the family with the right surname should have done it, otherwise he would have heard some rumors.

Xun Chen raised his eyes to look at the main seat, and Xu Chu's smiling face came into view...... It is probably Xu Chu himself who wants to expand the influence of the situation.

The first thing to discuss is Cheng Yangli's case.

Because of Xu Chu's involvement, the details of this case have been spread in the county, Zhong Jin did not dare to slack off, and he visited and verified it for a few days, and the case has been finalized.

Xu Chu's eyes must have been on Zhong Jin, who left the table and reported the results to Xu Chu.

Cheng Yang Lili Min Cheng Wu, guilty of homicide, should abandon the city. Thinking of his filial piety, he was killed by mistake and was hanged instead.

Everyone in the hall nodded, Zhong Jin's sentencing was extenuating within the law, and it could be said that it was in place.

Xu Chu disagreed, both horizontal and vertical are dead, is there a difference between abandoning the city and hanging? In the final analysis, he looked at this case from the perspective of later generations, which was fundamentally different from the high-ranking scholars.

Why Cheng Wu killed the wrong person was directly due to a dispute between the two, and the deep-seated reason was that the world made Cheng Wu have no way to live.

So Xu Chu said something that made everyone dumbfounded, "Cheng Wu killed people, and the government is also guilty." ”

Everyone whispered, and the people killed people and broke the law, how did it become the sin of Taishou? Which one did the prince sing.

But seeing Xu Chu's sad face, he seemed to blame himself very much, "This mansion is the head of a county, so that the people in the county have no surplus food, and the old mother cannot be supported, so that tragedy happened." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all said that this was not the fault of the prince alone, and everyone was guilty.

"It is a blessing to the people that the princes love the people as sons...... Jin Cao Peng Zhang Feng. Xu Chu named his father-in-law, and Zhang Feng left the table and stood in the hall with Zhong Jin.

"What do you command?"

"The criminal Cheng Wu is an iron slave and will be handed over to you to dispose of...... Hu Cao Peng Xu Shu. ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Cheng's mother is old and disabled, you go to the pavilion and allocate some food every month, and the pavilion chief Cheng Long is responsible for taking care of Cheng's mother's daily life."

"Subordinates receive orders."

"As for the family of the deceased, the county also took out ten acres of fertile land for a little relief." After Xu Chu finished speaking, he asked everyone: "Do you think it is feasible?" Seeing that no one objected, Xu Chu said, "After this case, the government learned that the people in the county were in such distress, and it was shocking. Youruo, what do you think about changing this situation? ”

Xun Chen knew that Xu Chu was going around and around, and finally brought the topic here, so he got up and replied: "Light conscription, slow conscription, investigate illegality, and build water conservancy; If the government is virtuous and pure and inactive, the people will be able to recuperate. ”

As soon as Xun Chen's words fell, Zhang Feng supported: "In the past, when the Yin Gong was there, he governed the county by this method, and what Xun Gongcao said was very reasonable. But ......"

Everyone was just surprised at how Zhang Feng helped Xun Chen speak, and when they saw him change his words, they said: "But after the rebellion of He Yi and Huang Shao, the situation in the county is several times worse than when Yin Gong was there, there are countless displaced people, more than half of the land is deserted, and most of the people in the pavilion are no longer a few who flee to avoid paying taxes. If you want to improve the predicament, you think that you should return the land to the people. ”

The people in the scholar clan looked at each other, Rao was already prepared, and he couldn't help but gasp.

is such a Xu Zhongkang, he really dares to risk the world's condemnation!

……

……

The crowd outside the Taishou Mansion was looking forward to it, and finally waited for some news. From time to time, the process of deliberations is made public, which is what Xu Chu meant, and those who were waiting to see the show got the exact information, and then ran to tell each other, and it didn't take long for the entire Yanling County to know.

Regarding the punishment of Cheng Wu in Chengyang, everyone has their own opinions, some say that Xu Chu is benevolent and righteous, some say that the sentence is light, and so on. However, the treatment of Cheng's mother and the deceased's family was unanimously praised by everyone, and the old man who was sitting on the mat in front of the mansion also touched his beard and nodded.

However, Zhang Feng's proposal of 'returning the land to the people' is too incredible. There is a Taishou in the world who offends the family for the common people? I'm too stunned.

Some older scholars immediately made a decision to Xu Chu - weight and wisdom.

The old man closed his eyes and asked his daughter beside him, "What do you think of Yan'er?" ”

The woman said lightly: "This is a loser, if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game." ”

The old man sighed, his daughter Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, but she is too high-minded, and there is no respect for Xu Chu, who is the Taishou of Shangyingchuan.

is indeed very much like a loser, Xu Chu showed his intentions prematurely, and in the face of a strong opponent, he is undoubtedly going to a dead end.

But...... The old man has been up and down for half his life, and his intuition tells him that even if he is young, even if he is from a humble background, he can sit in this position, how can he ignore the truth that most people understand.

"What if Xu Taishou's hand is an outcast?" The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Abandoned son?" The woman pondered for a moment, her chest rising and falling, "Could it be that the plank road is cultivated in the bright and the Chen Cang is dark?" ”
