As time passed, the vitality in the capital gradually regained its vitality, and more and more people walked out of their homes and walked on the streets and alleys, carefully observing the changes around them, nervous and uneasy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, they from the beginning of the submissive, cautious, become more and more bold, more and more open, when they saw Yang Lin's patrol soldiers again, no longer so cringe, afraid of very, far away, but standing on the street, daring to look directly at the passing patrol officers in the bright light, but also pointing, whispering.

"Hey, don't say it, this team is really benevolent, since it entered the city, it has not committed any crimes against the people in the city, it's been almost ten days, I haven't heard of any common people who have suffered?"

This is a few people gathered together, looking at the backs of the patrol officers in the distance, and as soon as one of them finished speaking, one of them immediately echoed: "That's true, but those princes and bellors have suffered, and all their property has been confiscated and put in prison." ”

Hearing this, a person who buckled the rope leaned forward, his face was full of eagerness, and he asked, "This big brother, are you telling the truth?" The whole city's prince Baylor was raided and imprisoned? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the ideas of everyone present, seeing the thin man with blank eyes, that timid and afraid look, everyone collectively gave a disdainful look, and finally the person who spoke at the beginning nodded softly, and said affirmatively: "Yes, just two days ago, when I passed by a palace, I saw a large group of soldiers of the rebel army coming out of the palace, pressing those princes and their families away, and many people saw it at that time." ”

As if struck by lightning, the thin man drooped his head, his legs trembled, and he was almost paralyzed to the ground. However, how could this man have such a huge reaction when he heard that the palace had suffered a great disaster, as if someone had robbed his wife?

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the thin man, someone couldn't bear to ask, "This brother, what's going on?" Although those princes Baylor were imprisoned, but, so far, there is no news of being killed, what does this have to do with you, what do you have to worry about those bullying old men? ”

It seems that other people's words of consolation have played a role, and the situation of the thin man's violent fluctuations has slowed down a lot, but he still wants to cry and murmur without tears: "My sister is a maid in Prince Rui's mansion, if that's the case, the whole palace has been arrested by the peasant army, and my sister will definitely not be good, if she has three long and two short, how can I be worthy of my dead father?" ”

Poverty deprived the thin man of his dignity, and the sudden change was a heavy blow to his spirit, everyone knows that the ancient raids were implicated, whether it was a master, or a slave, could not escape, was punished.

At this time, the scholar who had been standing in the distance came over, very kind-faced, and when he heard everyone's discussion and the thin man's words of self-reproach, he suddenly interjected: "This benevolent brother, don't be so pessimistic, Sister Ling shouldn't be in danger of life, maybe it's because of some reason that she didn't have time to go home and contact you." ”

Hearing this, as if grasping the last straw, the thin man saw a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of dawn, like a new breath of strength, turned around suddenly, looked at the scholar, ushered in the past, his eyes were clear, excited, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Really?" This son, are you telling the truth? ”

Let the thin man grab his sleeve, looking at the other party's helpless and hopeful eyes, the cry and pleading contained in his voice, although he was not very sure in his heart, but the scholar still nodded and replied: "Well, it should be true, the leaders of those peasant armies have posted notices, the actions of the army are only aimed at the Manchus, arrest those princes and their families, and the subordinates of the prince's mansion will not be implicated, if the content of the notice is true, your sister should have left the prince's mansion and there is nothing wrong." ”

"Yes, yes, what this prince said is true, after those peasant troops captured the prince's family, they sent troops to the prince's mansion, and those subordinates and maidservants were dismissed on the spot and let go." The person who spoke first seemed to think of the scene and echoed it.

Hearing the words of the two, the thin man suddenly rekindled the hope in his heart, the pessimistic mood was fleeting, and he was happy, and he was about to take steps to find his sister, but he found that he had nowhere to go, and he didn't know where to look for it, so he inquired about the news.

In the end, the thin man temporarily suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, and turned his eyes for help to the scholar again, as if he had expected it, the scholar said softly: "If you can't find your sister, you can go to the people's government of the peasant army to inquire about the news, and you should be able to get some useful news about your sister's whereabouts." ”

"The people's government?" The thin man muttered to himself suspiciously, looked at the scholar again, and asked puzzledly: "That, childe, where is the people's government of the peasant army?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the doubts of the surrounding people were asked, because they had never heard of it, and they didn't know where the people's government was, and they were all pricking up their ears, waiting for the scholar's next words.

I saw that the scholar pointed in the direction of the right and said with certainty: "Well, the people's government of the peasant army is in the original household yamen......

Before the words were finished, the thin man was worried about his sister's eagerness, and after getting the answer, he immediately ran out like a gust of wind, seeing this situation, the scholar stopped speaking, shook his head slightly in understanding, smiled, and was about to walk away, but saw some of the remaining people staring at him, and his curious eyes became more and more bright, as if to say, if he didn't finish speaking, he wouldn't let you go.

Almost subconsciously took a step back, reading everyone's gaze, the scholar hurriedly said: "Don't look down with such a gaze, I don't have so much time to chat with you, if you really want to know these things, you can go to the place where the notice is posted to browse, the peasant army has written these things on the notice." ”

There was an uproar, and seeing that the scholar was very resolute in postponing, everyone dispersed very neatly, ran past the scholar, and went straight to the place where the notice was posted.

"Hehe..." The scholar smiled silently, looking at the people who left without any pretentiousness, just looked at it, and walked away, and at the same time whispered: "It seems that this peasant army is not bad, after entering the city, there is no burning, killing and looting, and the texture is clear, if you can really maintain this state and continue, it is not impossible to cut off this braid." ”

While walking, when talking to himself, the scholar brushed his braids, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly threw the braids behind him and walked away, which was quite chic.

At the original site of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, the people's government, in the conference room, Huo Xiong, Ruan Yuan, Liu Yong, Qu Kun and others sat around the round table to discuss things, at this time, Huo Xiong had temporarily served as the mayor of the capital, presiding over the daily affairs of the capital.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some management experience in Kongtong Mountain for more than two years, compared with the capital, although the two are very different in terms of population and area, but they have a common principle, and some of the management on Kongtong Mountain can also be moved here."

At this time, Huo Xiong's big hand waved, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "These are some of the management experience on Kongtong Mountain, and some are required by the marshal to be added, if there are shortcomings, or what ideas are there, although put forward, I Huo Xiong is a soldier, I like to go straight, I speak neatly, I don't like my mother-in-law, I hope you don't care about playing around, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Immediately afterwards, the two personnel who were already standing behind Huo Xiong took action, acting simultaneously from both sides, distributing the documents in their hands to everyone, and when Huo Xiong finished speaking, everyone already had a piece of information covering the daily management of the capital.

Huo Xiong didn't say anything more, waited quietly, waiting for everyone to finish reading all the information, his face was unwavering, there was no urging at all, but there was a faint smile on his face, he picked up the teacup from time to time, tasted the tea, and behaved very steadily and confidently.

The sound of flipping through the papers, crisp and somewhat chaotic, echoed in the quiet office, everything was carried out in such a quiet, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, and there was a faint sense of urgency.

After all, no matter what, whether it is governing a country or managing a city, it is all about stability, and it involves all aspects, which is cumbersome and complicated, and it is not a day's work.

Having served as a member of the Qing court and serving two emperors, Liu Yong has rich experience as an official, especially as the governor of Zhili.

The moment I opened the document, when I saw the content of the first page, my eyes suddenly lit up, my eyes were overflowing, my eyes were flowing, and my mind was instantly attracted to it.

The same is true for Ruan Yuan, who was completely attracted by the content of the document, those concepts are like imagination, not confined to the general ethics, completely breaking the understanding, subverting the previous concept and starting point of governance, and thoroughly taking the law as the middle point, justice as the key link, and without losing human feelings, so as to expand and evolve.

From the administrative division, from the responsibilities of officials, to the people's livelihood, taxation, justice, etc., and so on, the list is detailed but not specific, and the overall framework is proposed, which only needs to be specifically refined.

Qu Kun was much calmer, not so excited, after all, he had followed Yang Lin for so long, and he had fought all the way from Guangzhou to the capital, he had experienced too much, and he had seen all kinds of things, the content on the document was not the first time it appeared, it had already been implemented in Guangdong, and there were other occupied areas, which had long been in the forefront and were being implemented, so there was nothing surprising.

Gradually, time passed minute by minute under such circumstances, and when Qu Kun finished reading, he glanced at Huo Xiong with a tacit understanding, and at the same time showed a meaningful smile, nodded to each other, while the others continued, digesting the contents of the document and immersing themselves in the new system.
