Chapter 118: The World of Great Governance
Looking at everything in front of them, this is shocking enough for Liu Yan and others.
Although whether it is Tianqiaofang or Qingpingfang, they actually belong to the fringe area of the capital, but they are all in the relatively low-lying area of the capital.
Not only that, if you live in the capital permanently, you probably know that Tianqiaofang is better than Qingpingfang.
Tianqiaofang was so badly affected that there was no reason why this Qingpingfang was not affected by the disaster.
But here, there is no trace of heavy rain for days.
Of course, if you look closely, it's not for nothing.
For example, in the corners of some houses, there is indeed some stagnant water.
And at this time, some people in soap clothes can be seen, sprinkling a powder on these places where water has accumulated.
Looking at these soap-clothed people, Liu Yan had a natural sense of superiority, they found a soap-clothed person, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Sprinkle lime." The man replied, kindly.
"What do you do with lime?"
"There is an order for inspection, after the catastrophe, there will be a big epidemic, the corners of the neighborhood must be disinfected, especially the corners with stagnant water and filth, they must be sprinkled with lime for disinfection, so as to prevent the possible epidemic, especially this summer is coming, after the rainstorm, mosquitoes breed, it is even more careful."
After that, the soap-clothed man began to walk the streets again, and scattered one by one to find a place with a puddle.
They are obviously attentive and will not let go of any corner.
Of course, Liu Yan and others don't know that now the disinfection work has become the top priority, and it has also become the top priority of the evaluation, and the pressure is all on the street chief and the lane chief, who are afraid of moths, so they have to inspect their own streets almost every day, so as not to find out anything from the health officer of the inspection department.
The street chiefs and alley chiefs inspected every day, so that the servants below did not dare to slack off, and this layer of pressure finally fell on them, and if they slacked off, they would be brought out at any time.
Can lime be sterilized?
Of course, Liu Yan doesn't understand this.
But what amazed him was that the Tianqiaofang was collecting corpses, but it was so bored that it sprinkled lime into the remote stagnant water.
What's even more amazing is not that, but these soap-clothed people, far beyond his imagination.
All of you standing here, before you became officials, were all scholars from various prefectures and counties, and at the local level, they naturally discriminated against small officials.
There are many reasons for this discrimination, on the one hand, it is true that the reader has a natural sense of superiority.
And this is also inseparable from the problems of the servants themselves, because no matter what kind of officials they are, most of their performance is 'greedy' and 'lazy'.
To the officials, they are deceitful, to the people, they are perfunctory and oppressive, they have heard of this in the locality!
But all the local parents appointed by the imperial court, the most complained is that the petty officials are deceived and deceitful, and they can't control it at all, when you can see them, they will show respect to you, but when you can't see them, they will be lazy and don't take you seriously.
But all this in front of me is incredible.
The soap-clad men were evidently attentive, and they meticulously searched for ditches and puddles in places they couldn't see, and then sprinkled them with the powder they carried.
This is said in later generations, that is, there is enthusiasm for work and strong subjective initiative in work.
Liu Yan was suspicious in his heart, did these people take the wrong medicine?
In his ears, there was a royal history who couldn't help but say: "If the officials are cheating, the government will be sick, and the government will be sick, this is a stubborn disease of all dynasties, but I can't imagine that there is such a trend here......"
Liu Yan glanced at the imperial history, and the imperial history also seemed to feel speechless.
That's right, how can I boast about this Qingpingfang?
Which side are you on?
But...... It's really blurted out, and it's ...... That's really what it is.
Liu Yan felt more and more that something was wrong at this time.
The group continued to move forward, and the more they looked, the more frightened they became.
It's a lively place, especially when you're walking through the business district. Hundreds of shops were opened, and there was a shout of soliciting business and pedestrians, as if the storm had never appeared.
Further on, it was a school house.
This school building is obviously a former temple of the City God.
Then some nearby houses were expropriated, and a big sign was hung outside: "Qingping Primary School." ”
Inside, the sound of Lang Lang's reading was faintly heard.
Outside the school, there are also a few shops, which mainly sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as one or two bookstores.
Liu Yan heard the sound of reading, and felt relieved.
This reminds him of the scene when he was a child, as if in a dream, memories are always good, although in the genealogy, there is no less than the precept of Mr., but so far I think back, isn't that the starting point of his brilliant life?
Everything is inferior, but reading is high.
His heart was hot, and he walked straight to the bookstore, only to see a guy soliciting business standing at the door of the bookstore.
When this guy saw the visitor, he immediately said enthusiastically: "The guest officer wants to buy a book?" ”
Liu Yan pointed to the school and said, "Which family is this?" ”
You must know that the vast majority of Mongolian studies in this era are carried out in the form of families, and if it is a famous local family, it will establish a family study for the children of the clan to study.
However, there is generally no such large-scale ethnography in the capital, because there are very few prosperous families in the capital, after all, there is a large foreign population.
The guy smiled and said, "This is not a clan study, this is a school run by the inspection department." ”
"The school run by the inspection department? How many students are there? Someone couldn't help but ask.
The guy said truthfully: "About three or five hundred." ”
Three to five hundred ......
Someone took a breath of cold air and looked surprised.
That's a staggering number.
Even the local wealthy families generally can't run such a large-scale Mongolian school.
After all, the population of the family is only so large, and not all the people of the clan can go to school.
As for the average person......
Study? This is impossible, not to mention the cost of reading, and this reading is not of much use to ordinary people, after all, not everyone can test for fame.
Liu Yan said in surprise: "There are only two or three thousand households in this Qingping Fang, how can there be so many students?" ”
The guy at the bookstore said: "The inspection department encourages and advocates it, there is an education director in the inspection department, in addition to building a school, it is to encourage people to read." Of course, everyone is willing to send their children to school, but there is no way. In this Qingpingfang, what do men want to do, you see, like me, I am busy in this bookstore all day long, and what about the cheap one, now I am also spinning, this child is left at home, how can I rest assured? And it is strictly forbidden for children over the age of 12 to come out to work in this workshop, it is difficult to hear, we don't care about the children from morning to night, send them to the school, and it doesn't cost a few dollars a month, so just let him read some books, maybe there is some benefit. No matter how bad it is, it should be regarded as sending the child to the school club to be taken care of, at least more assured. Nowadays, everyone in Qingpingfang does this. ”
It's a novelty.,It's a rush to send the child to the school.。
In fact, Liu Yan's heart was already very shocked, and he looked the guy in front of him up and down.
Just such a guy, his children also go to school?
This is absolutely unprecedented.
In all dynasties and dynasties, I have never seen such a child study.
But the guy is very serious, not like a liar.
All of a sudden, the officials were in an uproar.
Someone began to whisper: "Do we still scold Qingpingfang?" ”
"Are there really so many students?"
"I've heard so many readings, I'm afraid it's only a lot more."
"Oh, that's good governance."
"Yes, in the past, parents and officials wanted to educate, but they couldn't educate a few people, where is it like here, everyone is rushing to send their children."
At this time, there was a faint sound of reading over there: "At the beginning of man, nature is good...... Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. ”
This time, the listeners were even more enthusiastic.
It is the content of the teachings of the saints.
Think about it, such a large-scale indoctrination......
Liu Yan suddenly felt that his head was in chaos.
Although some people whispered: "This is Zhang Jingyi's conspiracy......"
But......
The person who said this was obviously not confident enough.
The morale of the army was shaken.
"What should we do, are we still dead?"
"Have you ever heard of a death sentence that gives up halfway? to be laughed at by the world. ”
"But I'm ...... I...... I don't want to admonish ......."
There are all kinds of sounds.
The crowd was aimless, and for a while, they didn't know what to do.
This school is only a step away from the Hundred Households and the Inspection Division, and many guards can already be seen in front of them.
So, the people who couldn't make up their minds came here.
Obviously, everyone's feelings are mixed.
But at this moment, I saw a group of people walking out of it.
Who is the person at the head, if not the Emperor of the Apocalypse?
The officials seemed a little at a loss at this time, Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to take the officials forward to salute.
"Ministers...... I've seen Your Majesty......"
These people were all in disarray, with mud on their bodies and disheveled.
At this time, they bowed down one after another.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse held his hands behind his back and looked high, and there were Huang Liji, Wei Zhongxian, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Jing on the left and right.
He glanced at them and smiled, "Zhuqing, do you still want to die?" It doesn't matter, I'm here, I have left a place for you, it's better and cleaner than Tianqiaofang. Counsel you well. ”
The faces of all the officials turned red, and they suddenly became angry.
Your Majesty, you have insulted us again!
Why...... Will there be a sense of humiliation in your heart?
It is clear that death is a very sacred thing, and as a result, His Majesty welcomed it, but it was as if they had been greatly humiliated.
Liu Yan hesitated for a while, and did not admonish or not, it was a question of whether he wanted to die.
But when you think about it, it seems that if you die because of such things, it is not worth it.
At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Come, please ask Zhuqing to die here, and ...... Don't stop the people along the way, if the people like to watch, let them take a good look and see the bones of my Ming officials. ”
