In the lobby of the Jia'an County Guoshu Museum, there was a solemnity, Shi Changfeng and several supervision officials of the Supervision and Protection Office sat on the main seat of the hall, next to Shi Changfeng, there were some officials in Jia'an County, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shao, Su Youlun who participated in the selection of the county order, and the three of them sat on the other side, facing Shi Changfeng, they were seated, and there were a hundred township sages in Jia'an County, in the middle of Shi Changfeng and a hundred township sages in Jia'an County, there was also a big box, and behind Shi Changfeng, there were still three people, and on the table in front of the three people, there was a porcelain bowl each, and I don't know what it was used for。

Everyone was waiting nervously and curiously, and at this time, the three people who participated in the selection of the county magistrate were actually the most nervous.

Shao Yuanjie, the chief judge of the Jia'an County Criminal Arrest Yamen, was sitting next to him in an official uniform, although there was not much expression on his face, the hand he put on his knee was unconsciously clenched into a fist, and the fist was full of sweat.

Squire Wang Shake's body is a little fat, and he doesn't know if it's because the weather outside is too hot or because of his size, he is sitting next to him and constantly wiping his forehead with a towel.

Although Su Youlun's face was a little calm, at this time, he couldn't help pinching his tiger's mouth with his hand to calm himself down.

On weekdays, the three of them are not people who have not seen the world, but this selection of county orders is something that has never happened in the Han Empire, and the three of them have experienced it for the first time, and they are the parties involved, so it is inevitable that they are a little nervous.

Shi Changfeng looked at the hundred township sages in Jia'an County who had arrived, and after asking the people around him to confirm that the list of township sages was correct twice, he finally opened his mouth, he turned his head to look at the three people sitting together who participated in this unprecedented county order selection, "I have just confirmed the list and personnel of the hundred township sages in Jia'an County in public, do the three of them have any objections to this list and personnel?"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

All three spoke.

"Okay, since the three of you have no objections, and now the time is up, then, let's officially start!" Shi Changfeng cleared his throat, stood up directly, and looked at the people in the lobby and said loudly, "I am entrusted by the Governor to come to Jia'an County today to fully supervise the selection of the county order of Jia'an County, the list of one hundred township sages has just been confirmed, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shake, and Su Youlun have no objection to the number and list of township sages, below, I will talk about the methods and processes for the selection of county orders by all of you township sages!"

"Stay for a while, all the township sages will be assigned a township sage ticket, the ticket has been printed with the names of Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shake and Su Youlun, you think that the three of them are more suitable to serve as the position of the county magistrate of Jia'an County, who you like, you can use a pen to circle his name, this township sage vote one person, the county order can only have one person, so you can only circle one person's name, more circles, or no circles, unclear, it is regarded as abstention, its vote is invalid, can not vote for the second time, after you are elected, you take turns to vote in this box in front of me, and then open the box in public to count the votes, today's votes are more, it is the county order of Jia'an CountyThe term of office is four years, are you clear?"

Although this method of voting for people is fresh, the rules are simple and clear, and those who can be elected as village sages will naturally have no problem with their IQ, so when Shi Changfeng said this, everyone basically understood.

"My lord, you said that the term of office of the county commander selected this time is only four years, so after the expiration of the four years, the person who was selected today will no longer serve as the county commander?"

"The person who was elected today, whether he will continue to serve as the county magistrate after four years, it depends on the meaning of the superintendent, the superintendent may let him continue to serve, or recall, or promote, it is possible, of course, the greatest possibility may be to let the townsmen vote again, if it is the latter, the townsmen are still willing to continue to choose him, then he can continue to serve!"

"Clear, clear!"

"Yes, it's easy!"

Shi Changfeng turned his head to look at Wang Dou and Su Youlun, "Although the two of you are candidates for the selection of county commanders today, you are also the township sages of this Jia'an County, so you each have a vote for the township sages after a while, you can vote for yourself or for others!"

Wang Dou and Su Youlun both nodded.

Shi Changfeng looked around the lobby and asked, "Well, do you have any questions?"

"My lord, I have a question, if two of the three of them get the same number of votes in the end, and both of them outnumber the other person, then how does that count?" an old man in his seventies and eighties stood up and asked.

"Well, the question you asked Lord Guardian has already taken into account, if this situation really happens, then, that is the will of God, let two people with the same number of votes draw lots in public to determine the winner, in the words of Lord Guardian, personal luck is also providence, then it depends on everyone's luck!"

"My lord, I can't read, how do I choose ......" Another person stood up.

"If you can't read, you can raise your hand for a while, and I'll tell you who the name on the ticket is!"

After everyone listened, there was nothing to say, seeing that everyone had no more problems, Shi Changfeng looked at Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shake, and Su Youlun, "Okay, then before the official vote, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shake, Su Youlun, you can still say a few more words to all the townspeople!"

Shao Yuanjie was the first to stand up, hugged his fists at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Fellow villagers, I, Shao, have served in public office in Jia'an County for more than 20 years, and I have never been conscientious and conscientious, and there has never been an unjust case under my hands, and the security in the county is also good, and no bully can run rampant in the township, if I do the county order of Jia'an County, I will definitely live up to the trust of the township sages, continue to work conscientiously, and let the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment!"

After Shao Yuanjie finished speaking, he sat down, Wang stood up tremblingly, wiped his sweat first, and then said loudly, " What is the family background of my Wang family, all the village sages know that my family has two silver, and I can't eat it all in ten lifetimes, but no one in my Wang family has ever been such a big official as the county order, so I came out to try this time to see if I can glorify my ancestors, if I can be the county commander of this Jia'an County, I will say two points, first, I am not greedy for a penny of silver from the public family, if I am greedy, let my Wang Shake and my Wang family descendants not die well, second, if I become the county commander, in the past four years, the people in the county will pay taxes and servitude, and will never increase, and I will also think of ways to repair the road leading to Pingxi City in our county！”

Wang shook and sat down, Su Youlun stood up, and said neatly, "If we want to get better and better in Jia'an County in the future, it lies in the word talent, as long as the children in the county are angry, our Jia'an County will definitely not be worse, if you township sages choose me to be the county order, I will definitely let more and more children of our Jia'an County enter the Guoshu Hall and the Kyudo Society every year in the future!"

"The three of you have said what you want to say, and the rest, let the villagers decide for themselves, and then we will send the tickets of the villagers, after you get the tickets, don't walk around and make noise, just circle the name of the person you want to select in your own position, and you townsmen have half an hour to make a decision!"

After Shi Changfeng finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him, nodded, and then his entourage sent the prepared "ballots" down.

The "ballot" is the size of a palm, two pages, printed on brown paper, can be folioped, the outside of the "ballot" is printed with the words "Vote of the Townsman", after opening, you can see the names of three people inside, with the "ballot" sent down, not pen and ink, but a small piece of sharpened charcoal core, just enough to make it easy for the villagers to circle the name on the "ballot".

"Let me tell me, now you have got the ticket of the village sage, the arrangement of the three names printed on the ticket, according to the number of strokes of the names of the three people, the name strokes are few, ranked in the front, the name has many strokes, ranked in the back, the first is Wang Shake, the second is Shao Yuanjie, and the third is Su Youlun, who you want to be the county commander, just circle the name with charcoal is ......"
