"This is the process of selecting the county order in Jia'an County, everything went well, and nothing went wrong in the middle, but what surprised me was that in the end, a cadre of Jia'an County actually voted for Wang Dou the most, so that Wang Dou became the county magistrate ......"

After finishing the selection of the county order in Jia'an County, Shi Changfeng and his party returned to Pingxi City, it was already late, but Yan Liqiang was still handling official business in the supervision mansion at this time and meeting officials, so Shi Changfeng also directly asked Yan Liqiang to report the process of the county order selection in Jia'an County during the day today.

Neither of them had dinner, so Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng were in the back garden of the Governor's Mansion, chatting while eating.

Yan Liqiang poured Shi Changfeng a glass of wine, and then asked with a smile, "Do you think that a cadre of Jia'an County will choose Su Youlun in the end?"

"How did Lord Guardian know?" Shi Changfeng looked at Yan Liqiang with some surprise.

"With the same breath and branches, with the same voice, you and Su Youlun have known each other before, have had contact, and have personal relationships, you think that others are not bad, so naturally you hope that he wins!"

"Could it be that Lord Guardian has long guessed that the winner of Jia'an County this time is Wang Dou?"

"Guess one thing in advance, the Wang family is a big clan in Jia'an County, the family is rich, Wang Shake as a local squire, before building bridges and paving roads in the local area, helping orphans and widows, the reputation is not bad, Wang Shake is also smart, he knows that the local people hate the most is official corruption, officials are greedy, the people will be less, every penny that officials are greedy for, in the end is actually scraped away from the people, so you see that he swore before the vote of the township sages is what he said, what he is asking for now is fame, not wealth, with the confidence of his Wang family, he is indeed qualified to say so, those township sages are not stupid, they all know that the position of county order, as long as they are not greedy, even if he is incompetent, he will only follow the rules, in fact, it has little impact, the one who can make the people in the county live a stable life is a good official, and there are naturally more people who vote for him, in this regard, Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun are both a little inferior to Wang Shao......"

"I see!" Shi Changfeng shook his head and smiled, clinked glasses with Yan Liqiang, and took a sip of wine, "There is one more thing, this time I went to Jia'an County to learn that this time the township sages of Jia'an County were promoted, and there were actually some problems in the middle, some local township sages, that is, the local pavilion chiefs and chiefs appointed themselves, and they were not elected by the people, and the rights of the township sages in Jia'an County increased greatly in the next four years, and these people picked up a cheap ......"

"It's normal to start letting people pick up cheap, because at the beginning the people in Jia'an County didn't know that the name of the township sage could affect the selection of the county order, and there were not many people who paid attention to it, and after the selection of the county order of the four counties, the people of the entire Pingxi County knew that the name of the township sage was not false, but a real power, which could select and supervise the county order, and then if the township sage was promoted again, the people would be interested in fighting for it, and they would no longer be fooled by a few people at will, kill a few, support the people a few times, and no one will dare to be clever......"

Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, Shi Changfeng suddenly understood, it turned out that Yan Liqiang had already known that some of the township sages elected by the four counties this time were problematic and not very standardized, but Yan Liqiang didn't care, because this election and selection was to throw bricks and lead jade, Yan Liqiang's purpose was just to let the people in the county know the importance of the position of township sage, so that everyone could pay attention to it, and also know that the county order could come like this.

"Do you want to comprehensively promote the county order selection measures in Qiyun County in the future?"

Yan Liqiang shook his head, " This is not in a hurry, let's take a look at it first, this time the four counties, even if it is a pilot, see what is wrong with doing so, summarize the experience, if the effect is really good, then you can consider and promote, now the system of the Han Empire has been handed down for many years, many people have been used to it, and it is not realistic to completely negate and change a set of rules at once, and it will be a big mess, we can take our time in small steps, and after the selection of the county magistrates of the four counties is over, I plan to do some reform measures in the four counties, and I am afraid that I will have to trouble Mr. Shi when you come out......”

Hearing Yan Liqiang's familiar name from Teacher Shi again, Shi Changfeng smiled, "Liqiang, what else are you going to do?"

"What I'm going to do is also related to Xiangxian!"

"It's related to the township sages, don't you think the power of the township sages in the four counties is not big enough now?"

Yan Liqiang did not answer directly, but shook his head and asked rhetorically, "The Great Han Empire's "Great Han Law" has a total of 32 volumes, including one volume of famous examples, two volumes of official laws, seven volumes of household laws, two volumes of ritual laws, five volumes of military laws, twelve volumes of criminal laws, and three volumes of work laws. The Great Han Law can almost be said to be perfect, without omission, the "Great Han Law" not only takes the essence of the law of the previous dynasty, but also compiled by countless capable people and wise people in this dynasty, looking at the silver continent, there are only a handful of countries and races with such complete laws, and the protection of the people of the world in the "Great Han Law" is not inconsiderate, and the punishment of those who commit adultery and corruption is not severe, and the Han Empire has both "Great Han Law" Why are there still countless people who want to rebel and join the White Lotus Sect, and if there is a slight change in the world, why will people everywhere flock to it, and no one will believe in any law?"

Shi Changfeng put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned, and muttered for a moment, "The reason for this is that although this "Great Han Law" is good, but below, it is too difficult to enforce the law impartially, so that the people at the bottom have grievances that are difficult to redress, and it is difficult to justify them, and if they have deep grievances, they can naturally only use violence to counter violence......"

"Yes, that's exactly the case, if this Han Empire's "Great Han Law" It can really be implemented, local governments can handle cases and enforce the law impartially, so that the good can be protected, the evil can be punished, the weak can be relied on, the strong can be feared, and the bottom line of legal justice in people's hearts can be kept！”

"But what does this have to do with Xiangxian?" Shi Changfeng didn't understand for a moment.

"Of course, it has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it, 99 percent of the people in the world, 99 percent of the problems and lawsuits encountered in a lifetime, can be solved within a county, in the past, as long as there are one or two corrupt and perverted county orders in this county, the whole county will be in a miasma, any law is a dead letter, any case, can be judged by them in a word, once the people enter the official yamen, just like fish on the board, there is no room for struggle and maneuver, I plan to implement the jury system in the four counties in the future, all the lawsuits in the four counties must be attended by seven village sages, the chief official of the trialAfter the case is heard, the case file, the decision of the chief judge of the trial, and the opinions of the jury township sages are all published on the list, so that the people can see that this method, although it cannot completely eliminate the corruption of the law, but it can eliminate and reduce the harm caused by corruption to the greatest extent, increase the cost of corruption and bend the law, and minimize the number of unfair trial lawsuits, so that the people's will and public opinion can be truly reflected......”

Shi Changfeng was stunned, he didn't expect Yan Liqiang to come up with such a method in his head, but if he thought about it carefully, this method was indeed a hundred times stronger than the current system of the Han Empire......
