Since the number of literati who went to auspiciousness increased, the corresponding hook bar also appeared, auspicious has no relevant laws, and everyone doesn't care about this matter, how to supervise it. Now that he was asked by Wang Xuan, he was embarrassed for a while, and it was difficult to answer.

However, there are many mascots and widows, and most of them are men, so the corresponding neutralization is also conducive to social harmony and stability, reducing the living soil of the fence from the side, and attracting labor by the way.

Can Wang Xuan ban this ancient industry? Of course, he can, but what should be done with those adult bachelors.

You must know that the auspicious food is good, the young people are energetic, Wang Xuan doesn't want to do it again, so he just mentioned it, and did not give corresponding instructions, so he turned the topic to civil affairs, and gave everyone a step in disguise, and gave a sweet date in a mouth.

Liu Quan is in charge of civil affairs, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "There are already 'matchmakers' in the people who are matchmaking for this kind of people, but they are not in the eyes of the locals, so the success rate is not high, which is also the fundamental reason why this trip is not popular." ”

"So what do you mean?" Wang Xuan's expression was a little strange, and such an answer naturally could not satisfy him.

"Well, well, don't rush it. Liu Quan was a little overwhelmed by Wang Xuan's question.

"You say that local single women don't look down on foreigners, is that to improve the quality of foreigners, or to lower the standards for local women to choose a mate? Although they are widows, most of them are old and young. Wang Xuan said again.

Now Liu Quan is a little confused, improve the quality of single men from outside? He is in charge of civil affairs, how can he have the courage to set up this military order, not to mention how to bring it in, only to find out where this high-quality is 'high' is enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention others.

If he doesn't worry about being thrown away from the leaves and smeared with dung at home, he will do it, and in the end they will not marry, so what will happen to them?

"Minister, minister is stupid. Liu Quan held back these words for a long time, and Wang Xuan, who was angry, was about to laugh.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a marriage introduction department, which registers the woman's requirements, family situation, occupation, income, life attitude, personality, etc., and then uses the woman's conditions as the basis to find the man with the highest degree of matching for matching, so that the two parties can meet and communicate. If you look at the right eye, you will get along, and if you don't see the right eye, you will naturally give up, and rematch is, how about this method?" Wang Xuandao.

This kind of blind date is relatively advanced in this era, compared with traditional matchmakers, the audience is wider and there are more choices. It's not that you want to choose more and see more, but I hope that everyone will find the best match for your other half in the vast sea of people. As the saying goes, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, taking a concubine, discordant temperament, how many days can you be at peace after passion?

"Is this too generous to the woman?" Zhang Yun said.

"No, it seems that the woman is treated preferentially, but in fact it follows the laws of the market. The auspicious widow has proud capital, but there are also obvious defects, good conditions naturally have people to apply, and poor conditions will inevitably lower the requirements for a long time, so this is just a matter of being willing to fight, there is no partiality. ”

Wang Xuan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, and everyone was not surprised by the Lord's whimsy, and they all assessed the feasibility of the plan in their hearts.

Wang Xuan saw that everyone couldn't calm down for a while, so he said: "This is the official media, whether it is successful or not is completely voluntary, everyone has the right to choose others, of course, there is also the right to reject others, the government is only responsible for matchmaking, and the rest does not care." ”

"It's a good idea, but it's just that we haven't heard of it, but I don't know if the people can accept it. Liu Quan said.

"If you don't try it, how will you know? The people need guidance, propaganda must keep up, can't we hold a blind date meeting to test the water? New things need a buffer process from the appearance to being accepted by the public, what we have to do is to guide and explain, what the result is, leave it to time, if we don't even have the courage to try new things, how can we talk about reform and progress. Wang Xuandao.

"Yes, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will give a plan as soon as possible. Liu Quan said.

It can be seen that he still hasn't understood this matter thoroughly, and Wang Xuan no longer explains, as one of the cabinet ministers, he doesn't even understand the most basic demands of the people, so what's the use of explaining.

"When will the new plan for the pedestrian street be completed?"

"Five days at most. ”

"Then we'll see it in five days. With that, Wang Xuan returned to the office.

The carriage escorting the fire ceremony passed through the Hudong New District, where the impression of the fire ceremony was completely different from that of the north.

In the north, he still has a lot of support, and the rotten atmosphere of aristocratic supremacy is also more familiar, but the south has completely changed the sky, and the large and small nobles in the north are extinct here. The people here are very free, even a little loose, and the men, women, and children are more casual and have little reverence.

There were no servants and cool officials here, let alone beggars and slaves, and it seemed to him that all these were the evil of auspicious man-made, and he did not believe that his territory had changed its appearance in just ten days, all of which were false.

The carriage slowly approached the Dongshan Pass, where the Red Flame had left too much pain and unwillingness, and he had to get off the car to look at the city wall at the strong request of the fire ceremony.

It was this wall that stopped him from pursuing his desires and ambitions, and it was the wall that made the massive Red Flame fall apart.

He stood outside the city for a long time, staring at it for a long time, and finally all the remorse and unwillingness, humiliation and stubbornness turned into a sigh and disappeared with the wind.

After passing the pass, the convoy moved smoothly on Hunan East Avenue, and such a comfortable carriage experience aroused Huo Li's curiosity, so he asked the leader of the team: "Why is this road so smooth and dustless?"

The cricket did not hide it from him, and said bluntly: "This is a road paved with new materials, and there is sand and gravel underneath, which we call the cement road, which was just developed successfully the year before last, and almost all auspicious roads are this kind of road." ”

Huo Li was silent, along the way he saw the endless traffic of cars and horses, ruddy faces and a little hurried pedestrians, he saw the Hunan embankment, and also saw the technicians who were surveying and mapping on the north side of the road, the officials and wanderers he was familiar with disappeared, as far as the eye could see, everyone was doing their own thing, and they were not scattered because there was no one to govern them.

Huo Li's heart sank, he understood that they had always underestimated auspiciousness, and underestimated the young master who was 'rare in a hundred years', and in the end he was the baby at the bottom of the well, which was really sad.

The closer you get to the bridge, the more prosperous it becomes, where have Huoli and the landlords and slave owners seen such a prosperous commercial scene, in the same way, there are no checkpoints, no soldiers, no beggars, some are just vehicles for transportation, young people who are busy collecting work, middle class people who go in and out of restaurants and inns, merchants who are formed in three or five shapes, and public officials who serve everyone.

How had they ever seen this, they hadn't even thought about it, some of the high-level Red Flame had forgotten their current situation and drooled, in their opinion, these were Huang Cancan's gold coins......

The more they saw, the more numb the Red Flame people became, and when the convoy entered Jixiang City, Huo Li realized that he still underestimated Jixiang. As the superior of the lord of the first lord, he knows very well how much trust and support you will receive when your allegiance to the lord serves the people wholeheartedly, and this power will make the superior almost omnipotent, but unfortunately he knew it too late.

On February 3, more than 250 people from the Huoli family and Chiyan's arrested nobles arrived at the Jixiang Lord's Mansion, and they were temporarily detained in Building No. 4 to wait for Wang Xuan's summons.

The carriage transporting money and goods drove directly into the courtyard of the second building, where the basement floor is where the inner treasury is located, and the property of 500,000 gold coins is the reserve fund that Wang Xuan intends to use to build a pedestrian street, otherwise near the end of the year, the people of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation are likely to lay shops in front of the lord's mansion.

The rest of the money and goods of the nobles were left to the autonomous military government, which used the expenses to maintain the normal operation of the government, including military expenses, and used the start-up funds for infrastructure construction to buy the hearts and minds of the people. This is not a small amount of money, dozens of landlords and slave owners have a lot of 3 million gold coins, not including the large tracts of land to be distributed.

When Guan Hao received this money, he was also shocked by the huge amount, and the mascot was really interesting to him.

The Hudong New Area has also seized a lot of property, about 1.3 million yuan, and while maintaining the operation of the military government, it still has the financial resources to build two north-south highways, more than 10 schools and academies, and several more hospitals and a public bus station this year.

In order to stimulate the development of the new area, the Ministry of Commerce will train several representative businessmen for Hudong to play a leading role in economic development.

The construction plan for the Xishan Song station has also been handed to Wang Xuan's desk, and the reason for the delay is that he is still assessing the feasibility of deepening the canyon.

The only way to communicate inside and outside is the canyon, and it is extremely cumbersome to move up and down the transportation of materials. It's just that it is simply excavated by manpower, and the efficiency is too low, so Wang Xuan is currently in a dilemma, so he has to put it on hold for the time being.

On February 5, after Wang Xuan finalized the construction plan for the pedestrian street, he finally remembered the fire ceremony, so the first and final meeting between the two began.

When I first saw Wang Xuan's fire ceremony, I couldn't see anything strange about the other party, although he was chic and handsome, but he was very masculine, this kind of person was a male and female existence in the aristocratic circle.

Wang Xuan was slightly disappointed when he saw the fire ceremony, this person has a kind face and kind eyes, thick lips and big ears, like the Maitreya Buddha in his impression, it is difficult to associate with all kinds of bad deeds, it is really a person who knows the face but does not know the heart, it is difficult to draw the skin and bones, who would have thought that under this very deceptive skin, there is a greedy and bloodthirsty black heart. It was the person in front of him who ruined his family, and it was the person in front of him who made him forge ahead, so that he had the auspicious collar that thrives today.

"Welcome to Jixiangling! In fact, I just wanted to see if the generation of heroes who were backhanded for the clouds and covered for the rain a few years ago was the legendary three-headed and six-armed man who could swallow cattle in his mouth, but unfortunately!" Wang Xuan looked at the familiar stranger, and his tone was flat, as if nothing had happened two years ago.

Huo Li said a little stiffly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, the auspiciousness of two years ago also disappointed me, each other!"

"This is a fact, thank you for giving Jixiang a chance to breathe, and thank you for violating Jixiang for the second time, otherwise how could I have a chance to meet the legendary Red Flame Lord at this moment, are you right?"

Wang Xuan's tone was as casual as talking to an old friend, but Huo Li could feel the murderous intent hidden between the lines.

"The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, and now I have lost, and I hope to follow the rules of war between the nobles to settle the grievances between the two sides. ”

Huoli was struggling, and although he was not good at bargaining, he knew that any straw was his hope now, and he had no reason to give up.

"I don't think I'm a nobleman, so I don't know much about what the so-called 'rules of war between nobles' are, could it be an undeclared war?" Wang Xuan sarcastically said to Huo Li, now the initiative is in his hands, what else can Huo Li play.

"I will lose money, I will compensate the mascot who was killed and injured in the two wars, and you will let me go when the money and goods arrive, okay?" Huo Li was a little nervous, stood up and stared at Wang Xuan with his eyes.

"Do you still have money?" Wang Xuan said, "The 500,000 yuan in your treasury has been incorporated into Jixiang, all the so-called nobles have been raided, and their property has also been supervised by the provisional government for local construction, where can you still squeeze out the money?"

"The eldest prince, the eldest prince will pay for me. Huo Li's eyes were already red, this was his last hole card, but he didn't expect it to appear in just a few rounds.
