Zhang Dong and Zhang Yushi came to Zigong.

Zigong is a small city, and most of the people living here are ethnic groups other than the Han Chinese.

The Huan people are the main inhabitants here.

The living habits of the Huan people are very different from those of the Han people, but the governance here is not the Huan people. It's still Han Chinese.

When Shu was still a country and was not included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there was an attempt at Huanren autonomy here. But the result was a constant rebellion. As a result, the later Shu monarch canceled the policy of Huan people's autonomy and replaced it with Han governance.

But the Huan people still often rebel, and they will be chaotic in less than ten or eight years. For this reason, the monarch of Xishu was very helpless.

This situation continued until the Western Shu was merged into the Great Song Dynasty. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty personally wrote a letter to the Huan clan chiefs in Zigong.

The commander of the Southern Army was sent to Zigong once.

Since then, there has never been a tribal rebellion in Zigong.

The content of the letter of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has long been known to everyone, and the content of it is not special, that is, it is a reassuring word, saying that our Chinese descendants are all one family, and who has one eye and one hand more than the Han and Huan people? Isn't it all the descendants of Yan and Huang? Since they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, they must be unanimous with the outside world, and they must no longer cause trouble to Xiao Wall and kill each other as before, so that outsiders can see jokes.

I am afraid that the monarch of Shu has said these words a hundred times before.

But it didn't work.

And the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be very, very useful, and the effect is magical.

As for what the commander of the Southern Army said when he came here in person and held a meeting of all the tribes, few people knew.

Except for the seven tribal chiefs who were in the conference hall at the time, there was no ninth person present.

And the words of the commander of the Southern Army, the clan chiefs did not spread it at all.

Only after choosing a successor by yourself, quietly pass the word to the successor one-on-one.

The sentence that no one knows is like this: If there is another rebellion, the clan chief family will be killed, and our southern army will only need one day to kill you in Zigong, except for the month it takes to go back and forth on the road. Remember, if there is one more rebellion, it will be killed.

The patriarchs of the Huan clan are all hereditary, and the patriarchal family that has been hereditary for hundreds of years has long become an absolute speaker in the hearts of the clansmen

When there are decrees in the imperial court, they are always conveyed by the patriarchs.

But after that, the patriarchs held several meetings, and they told the people below that in the future, the words of the government will be our words, and if you are like before, I will be the first to spare you.

In this way, after several generations of transmission, in the last fifty or sixty years, the people of Zigong are no longer as estranged from the government as before. The current patriarchs are basically the same as the clan chiefs in the Central Plains. The affairs of the family and the small things in the village can be solved by the parents. But the real big thing has to go to the government. It has to be done according to the rules of the government.

Zhang Yushi has long been aware of these situations in Zigong. The other nine imperial histories are also clear. But even so, as the only city in Sichuan that is almost entirely inhabited by people other than the Han people, Zhang Yushi still came in person, and he was really worried about the others.

When he arrived in Zigong City, Zhang Yushi came directly to the county office.

The county order of Zigongcheng has already received the documents of the prime minister's yamen, and the county order has long been calculated that it will arrive in about these two days, so every day the official is sent to the city gate to guard, and when he passes the city gate, the lord of the imperial history wants to show the office, so let the official come back immediately to inform him.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Yushi entered the city gate, the official had already flown to the county government to tell the county order.

The county magistrate stood at the gate of the county government to greet him. He was greeted by the villagers of Zigong City.

This is Lord Goshi, and he came down to collect cases on the orders of the Prime Minister, Lord Goshi Chen. It's someone sent down by Qin.

But don't be lazy.

Zhang Yushi was dusty, and asked the people about the location of the county government on the way.

"Lord Yushi has worked hard, and the lower official Zigongcheng County ordered ten thousand sheep. Xiaguan County Cheng Lu Dezong. ”

Zhang Yushi was a little strange, did these people know that they had arrived a long time ago? It is normal to think about it, the documents of the Imperial History Yamen have already arrived, and it is normal for them to prepare early.

nodded at the moment, and arched his hand: "Hello two adults, in Xia Zhang Dong." ”

As he spoke, he handed over his name card and the documents of the Prime Minister's Yamen.

The imperial history of the Great Song Dynasty, whether temporary or permanent, whether it was imperial or local. There's a proof of it. This is a black plaque with the licensee's title, name, and date of birth clearly written on it.

How dare the county order let the dignified Yushi hand over the sign, and hurriedly excused himself with both hands: "Lord Yushi said that he laughed." How can I question my lords. Adults came from afar, this is not the place to talk outside, let's go to the county government and sit. ”

"Well, I happened to be thirsty too, so I went to ask for a glass of water. ”

"Your Excellency, please. ”

"The county order, Lord Prefectural, please. ”

After a cup of tea.

The county magistrate and Zhang Yushi were talking across the coffee table: "So we don't actually have many cases reported in Zigong City, only a dozen." I've heard that some cities can report hundreds of cases. My lord, I was worried about one thing before you came, and I was worried that my lord would suspect that our county government was in the way to prevent the people from suing. So I have to explain it to the adults in advance. Adults should know that ninety percent of our Zigong are Huan people. Most of the time, the people of the Huan clan have problems to the patriarch to solve, and only when the patriarch can't solve very important things, they will come to our government. And to be honest, the imperial court specially explained that although we can't let the people of Zigong bully too much, we can't bully the people either. The customs of the people must be properly respected. For example, they are used to looking for the patriarch when they have something, and some traditional customs, such as being a father teaching his son, like to cut off his son's hands and feet as a punishment, so we can't interfere too much, and so on. Therefore, our county government has always tried its best to maintain the safety of the people, but not too much to mix with the people. This also forms that our county officials do not deal with the people too much. These dozen or so cases are basically related to tax collection, and there are no other cases of government corruption and banditry..."

Zhang Yushi listened to the county decree saying this, and thought to himself, why are you so cautious and so afraid of things, as if I was afraid that I would misunderstand that your county government was deliberately suppressing the people. As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow, you have no shame in your heart, why explain so much to me, I will naturally ask you when I have questions, but there is no doubt that you are so diligent in explaining that there is no taste of silver three hundred taels here. But on the surface, he still listened very carefully.

After the county commander finished explaining at length, Zhang Yushi was relieved: "Don't worry too much, Lord Wan, this imperial history is not a flood beast, and he is not here to find fault with you." Although this imperial history is doing the work of picketing hundreds of officials, although I came down to do things this time on the orders of the prime minister, the imperial history of Lord Chen, I still know what to do. The officials who said that they already have a number in their hearts, and they will definitely not blame the adults for no reason because of the small number of cases. Moreover, the small number of cases in Zigongcheng shows that under the rule of adults, the government is still very clear, which is a good thing, and should be rewarded rather than held accountable. ”
