"Phew!"

The coachman parked the carriage outside the south gate of Xiangping, turned around and explained to Ma Yan (Sima Yan) with a smile: "Little lady, the government has regulations that long-distance carriages from other places cannot enter the city, but can only go to the post station. When you enter the city, you can take a bus and a horse-drawn carriage at the roadside station, and you can ride all over the city for a penny. ”

Originally, Ma Yan was worried that she would be unfamiliar with the place when she arrived in Liaodong, and she would not even be able to find the location of the county guard. But after listening to the coachman's words, she realized that there was a tool called a bus carriage in Xiangping City.

In appearance, the horse-drawn bus looks like a huge box with wheels, which usually needs two tall horses to drive, and a horse-drawn bus can usually carry six to eight people. Since the advent of the bus and horse-drawn carriage, it has quickly become popular in Liaodong, so that the luxury of the carriage is no longer just the exclusive property of nobles and officials.

In order to create an ancient transportation system, Wei Shuo asked the county guard to imitate the modern transportation system and established several bus routes in Xiangping City, and several bus carriages run according to fixed routes every day.

Under the guidance of others, Ma Yan (Sima Yan) walked to the stop to the county guard mansion and patiently waited for the arrival of the bus and carriage. Everything she saw in Liaodong made Ma Yan extremely curious. She looked up at the wooden stop sign that had written in ink the stops along the way.

Seeing this scene, Ma Yan (Sima Yan) was a little confused, and she was very suspicious that how many people in Liaodong would recognize the font on the stop sign. However, she immediately thought that Liaodong was vigorously recruiting Mr. Teacher, and it might not be long before Liaodong was full of scholars.

Ma Yan (Sima Yan) was lucky, and after waiting for a long time, a bus came. She followed the example of everyone and handed over the two pennies to the coachman and conductor, and then entered the carriage with her personal maid. At this time, there were already three passengers in the carriage, obviously a family of three. Young couple plus a five or six-year-old child.

The couple couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw two young women coming up, although Liaodong was remote and the etiquette was not strict, and because of the influence of the Hu people, Liaodong was more open than the rest of the Central Plains. But so far there is no precedent for a young woman riding alone in a bus carriage, and Ma Yan (Sima Yan) inadvertently set a precedent.

Ma Yan (Sima Yan) smiled kindly at the young couple reservedly, and the husband was obviously a little embarrassed. He only nodded casually and turned his head out of the window, not daring to glance at Ma Yan (Sima Yan) again, but his wife stared at Ma Yan (Sima Yan) thoughtfully up and down.

"The little lady is not a native of Liaodong, right?"

"Ah, Madame's eyesight, I'm from Xuzhou. Unfortunately, my relatives died at the hands of the Hu people, but fortunately, I was rescued by the commander of the Wei school, so that I would not follow in the footsteps of my family. I heard that the county hall is looking for gentlemen, and both men and women can apply. ”

The little girl knew a few words by herself, although she was not qualified for the teaching tasks in the county school and the county school. But it is possible to teach and teach the countryside. Now that only the little girl in the family is struggling to survive, she finally found an opportunity to make a living, so she is ready to come to Liaodong to try it out and see if there is a chance to become a teacher. ”

"First, I can repay the adults for saving my life, and second, I want to support myself with my own hands."

"Oh, I see."

When the young woman heard this, her eyes were full of color, in fact, she had also moved the idea of applying for a job, but unfortunately she was prevented by her husband and family in the end. Now I see Ma Yan (Sima Yan) running alone from distant Xuzhou to Liaodong to apply for a teaching husband. Somehow, she suddenly envied the young lady in front of her.

When passing by a medical center on the way, the couple said hello to Ma Yan (Sima Yan) and got out of the car. It turned out that the family was going to see a doctor for their child. At this time, another passenger came up, a very old man. Seeing that the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient, Ma Yan (Sima Yan) hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man with the maid.

"Thank you, thank you, little lady!" As soon as the old man sat down, he kept thanking Ma Yan (Sima Yan) and the master and servant.

"Dare to ask my uncle, why are you the only one who came out. What about your family? Ma Yan (Sima Yan) asked with some curiosity.

"My family is busy with other things, and besides, this is not the first time I've come out to run errands, so there's nothing to worry about. Thanks to the opening of the bus route by the school captain, it is very convenient for people with limited mobility like us. ”

As soon as the old man mentioned Wei Shuo, he didn't have the mouth to praise it, about this situation. Ma Yan (Sima Yan) is no longer strange now.

"To say that the biggest ability of this Wei person is not how many policies to benefit the people have been implemented, nor how many taxes have been exempted. Instead, he ruthlessly rectified the corrupt officials in Liaodong, how arrogant those who were officials in the past! Treat the common people like pigs, dogs, and livestock, and raise taxes at every turn, and the common people will be brutally retaliated against if they resist the slightest. ”

"But now you let those people in the government try to move the common people with a finger!? Hum! I don't dare to bully me and other commoners anymore! ”

"Why is that?"

Ma Yan (Sima Yan) personally experienced the glory and collapse of the Western Jin Empire, and knew that there were many reasons for the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, one of which was the serious corruption of the officials, which led to the rise of displaced people everywhere. Therefore, she very much wanted to know how Wei Shuo controlled the officials under his control, and how he solved the problem of the rule of officials like a stubborn disease.

"In fact, the old man doesn't understand very well, he only knows that officials in Liaodong have to be subject to a lot of restrictions and supervision, once they do misdeeds, there will be newspapers to publicize their crimes, and then there will be officials in charge of supervision to investigate. If anyone dares to obstruct the cover-up of the crime, the victim can also file a complaint in person at the county magistrate's office. ”

"Filing a complaint in the county guard's mansion? That...... Do the people dare to go? That's the county guard's house! ”

"Shhhh What would you not dare?! If it was in the past, everyone would definitely not dare to go to any government to complain. But now it's Lord Wei who is in charge, how good Lord Wei is! He set up a reception office in the school governor's mansion to receive the people who came to complain. ”

"As long as you don't slander others, Lord County will definitely give you an explanation. In order to protect ordinary complainants, those who are found to be threatening the complainant will be sentenced to death. ”

"Isn't Lord Wei worried that this move will cause the trend of whistleblowing in Liaodi?"

"Whistleblowers are the norm? Hehe, little lady, you can afford to look down on those very few people with bad intentions. These people did cause chaos in the beginning, but they also paid a very high price, and too many false accusers lost their lives for it. In Liaodong, a place that pays attention to evidence, if you want to falsely accuse others, then be prepared to lose your head! ”

"Supervise officials with public opinion, the people, and the government, and then deter lawbreakers with severe punishments! Although it is not enough to completely eradicate all kinds of corrupt officials, it is enough to greatly improve the work style of officials. Wei Shuo, you are really an amazing person! It's a pity that he was born a few years late, otherwise the imperial court would not have fallen to this point. Ma Yan (Sima Yan) muttered to herself.

Along the way, Ma Yan (Sima Yan) spent her time talking with others, and through the exchanges, she had a deeper understanding of Liaodong under Wei Shuo's rule, and she was also full of confidence in Wei Shuo's future. In her opinion, the person who has the best chance to dominate the world in the future is none other than Wei Shuo!

Soon the bus arrived at the stop of the county guard's mansion, and Ma Yan (Sima Yan) got off the carriage under the reminder of the coachman. The county guard mansion is the original thorn history mansion, and after Wei Shuo occupied Liaodong, he rebuilt it into the county guard mansion.

Ma Yan (Sima Yan) looked around and found that there were many people in ordinary clothes coming in and out of the county guard's mansion, and no porter dared to come forward to stop and ask for bribes. Ma Yan (Sima Yan) This is also the credit of Wei Shuo, after he moved into the county guard mansion, he was worried that he was too far away from the people at the bottom, so he ordered that the people were allowed to enter the county guard mansion freely to do business, and no one could stop him.

Standing at the door, Ma Yan (Sima Yan) observed for a long time, but did not find a woman coming, indicating that Liaodong was not making smooth progress in recruiting female gentlemen. However, this also gave her a chance! (To be continued.) )
