Chapter 61 Enable the village sages and slowly farm the land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (1)

After the common people of Wudang County were oppressed for many years, the anger that had accumulated in their hearts exploded in one day! As a result, the civil servants left behind by the previous Wudang County Commanders were "wiped out" in a matter of moments amid the cries of "stepping down," and none of them were able to be successfully re-elected!

Mr. Lee told the dismissed civil servants to take off their official uniforms and return home to await an investigation.

When most of the former officials and masters left the yamen, they didn't dare to complain about anything.

Only Wang Mao, the former chief bookkeeper in charge of Wudang County's money and grain, said to Li Dao with a smile hidden in his knife before leaving: "My Wang's official position was not given by the people of Wudang County, so the people of Wudang County are not qualified to dismiss me! Today, if you rely on the people's sentiment to remove Wang's official position, then you have offended the person who gave me the official position! Daochang Li, oh, no, it should be called County Magistrate Li now! Hehe, County Magistrate Li, it seems that you have never been an official before, and you don't understand the rules of officialdom..."

"Don't talk so much about your mother's nonsense, don't you want to say that you have a backstage? Wang Mao! Master Ben remembers you! Since you want to call for wind and rain in my Wudang County, I want to see how capable you are, how big a god can you please?"

"Okay!

"Get out!"

......

After driving out those "parasites", the county government of Wudang County was suddenly empty, and there was not even a doorman on duty.

Lu Neng looked around, swallowed his saliva, and stammered, "This... This.... Master Li, if you drive them all away, then we will become bare-bones and handsome! Why don't I go to the cottage and pick some capable guys to fight?"

"No! Out of the population of 9,000 in Wudang County, can't we pick out dozens of talented people? People say that when the water is clear, there are no fish! But I don't believe in this evil when Li Dao is biased!"

While speaking, Li Daoyi had already walked down the lobby and came to the yamen.

The people who watched the bustle outside the yamen suddenly fell silent, and listened to the instructions of this county magistrate Li.

"Folks, today, the official has dismissed all the officials left over from the previous county orders according to your wishes, so now there are many vacant positions in the county office, the civil officials are the chief bookkeeper in charge of money and grain, the official in charge of the history of the copywriting, the military attache is the warden in the prison, the city gate guard at the Wudang city gate, the head of the yamen messenger team, and the yamen messenger 20 people. ”

"These officers will be elected from among you, and the final appointment will be in your hands. The specific method of the election will be announced tomorrow in the Wudang County Emperor List. Alright, folks, please disperse first!"

(The more than 100 soldiers guarding the gate of Wudang and the dozens of jailers guarding the prison, Li Daoyi never said.) After all, those soldiers and jailers were not civil servants, but small soldiers recruited when the Chu State issued the military list, and even more so, strong men who were arrested and forced to perform military service. According to the noun of the 21st century, the errand officer in the yamen is the policeman and the civil servant with an iron job. And soldiers and jailers without official positions are equivalent to volunteer soldiers, iron battalions, and flowing soldiers, and they will be replaced every two or three years. Of course, the treatment of soldiers in feudal times was far worse than now. ）

Seeing that the people of Wudang County outside the county government were talking and dispersed, Li Daoyi returned to the yamen and asked Luneng to temporarily close the gate of the county ya.

Li Daoyi returned to the county office, walked into the county magistrate's study, found out the four treasures of the study, wrote down the information on the recruitment of civil servants and the recruitment methods on a piece of yellow paper, and stamped his own county magistrate's small seal, and then ordered Luneng to paste the yellow paper on the notice board of Wudang County's imperial list.

The specific positions of recruitment have been mentioned by Li Daoyi earlier.

As for the specific method of election, it has a strong 21st century color. It turned out that in terms of the selection of civil officials, Li Daoyi planned to conduct a county examination first, and evaluate the top ten talents through the article assessment, and then the adults in Wudang County elected the top two to serve as the chief bookkeeper and the history of the dictionary respectively. A similar strategy was adopted in the selection of military attachés, except that the number of yamen officers required was larger, and the competition was not an article, but a martial arts. ...,

As soon as the new emperor list was posted, many talents who had studied hard for many years and martial artists who had practiced martial arts since childhood were eager to sign up.

Of course, the one-person-one-vote electoral system still makes many people in Wudang County both excited and afraid. What is exciting is that the people seem to be really in charge, and it seems that the county commander from Wudang Dao is really full of love for the people. What is scary is that they have never even heard of this kind of talent selection system before.

The first reaction of ordinary people to unfamiliar things, especially ideas and systems, is often to be afraid! Because accepting unfamiliar things means changing, and change is likely to bring turmoil. After all, the world is so big, and who wouldn't want to live a stable life?

Therefore, Lu Xun once said that there were many representatives of the Chinese court, but in fact there were only two of them! One was the era of slaves who temporarily sat firmly; the other was the era when they wanted to be slaves but could not! This is what the Confucians called "one rule and one chaos."

After issuing the imperial list, Luneng went to the county government's armory to play with weapons.

Li Daoyi sat in the county magistrate's study with nothing to do, read the accounts left by the previous master book, and checked the household registration, land, taxes, granaries, and vaults of Wudang County.

Wudang County has a total area of about 1,200 square kilometers, but the population is only 9,236 people, and the total cultivated land area is 1 million mu (author's note: 1 million mu is about 666.666... square kilometers, about half of Wudang County is arable land, and the other half is naturally mountainous and river).

Roughly calculated, the per capita cultivated land area of Wudang County is as high as more than 100 mu, which is really vast and sparsely populated. Of course, the main reasons for this are extensive and wasteful farming, heavy taxes and forced labor, and years of conquest.

The taxes in Wudang County have always been very heavy. For every acre of land, the government has to take away seventy percent of the grain. The taxes levied on merchants are even more exaggerated, and the government actually collects eighty percent of the profits from the merchants' profits every year! Of course, this has something to do with the status of the merchants in the Warring States Continent.

According to the "Hundred Schools of Knowledge", there are eight classes of people in the Warring States Continent, namely gong, military, soldier, soldier, agriculture, industry, commerce, and art.

"Gong" refers to officials and civil servants.

"Wu" refers to those who practice martial arts, because the ultimate goal of all countries above the Warring States is great unification, so the status of martial artists who can go to the battlefield is naturally very high.

"Shi" does not refer to soldiers, but to scholars, that is, scholars.

"Bing", this naturally refers to soldiers.

"Peasants" and "workers" are peasants and workers, and this is naturally the mass class, which has the same status in any era and in any country, and there is no need to explain it.

"Shang", that is, businessmen, ranks second to last in status.

"Art" naturally refers to all kinds of artists who sing and laugh, and their status is extremely low. Pity those dazzling stars of the 21st century if they return to the feudal era, I'm afraid...

The granary in Wudang County was originally stocked with a large amount of wheat, but after the 100,000 Jingman army led by Chu Xiong passed here, the granary was immediately emptied. As for the treasury, the gold and silver reserves in it were always a pitiful few hundred taels, because the previous county decrees had all filled their pockets.

After Li Daoyi just finished reading the records of household registration, land, and taxes in the accounts of Wudang County, he was originally going to hand over the position of Wudang County Order to the incompetent Li Daoer, and he came up with the idea of personally governing Wudang County.

As soon as he thought so, all of a sudden, the head system, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly heard a pleasant voice again.

"Ding! Activate the side quests, develop Wudang County, and make the population break through the 10,000 mark!"

"Huh, this can also activate side quests! There are now 9,236 people in Wudang County, and there are only 764 people left of the 10,000 mark, so it shouldn't be a difficult thing. I don't know, what will be the reward after completing the mission?"

Li Daoyi thought to himself in his heart.

He didn't know that Wudang County had had a negative population growth for many years, so it was extremely difficult to add more than 700 people, let alone add more than 100 people. If there is another serious war or plague, the population will surely decline rapidly...

The words are divided into two ends, and it is said that since Li Daoyi and Luneng went to Wudang County to meet Chu Xiong, the third prince of Chu State, Liu Xiong, who was sitting in Qishan, and Wang Gui, Li Daoer and others who defended Wudang have been paying attention to the situation in Wudang County and are ready to send troops to rescue at any time. It wasn't until the two capable minions who followed Li Daoyi and Luneng to Wudang County together returned to Qishan to report the letter to Wudang respectively, that everyone put down all their hanging hearts.

Li Daoer heard that his senior brother had become the magistrate of Wudang County, so he immediately began to pack his package and went to Wudang County to seek a fat job. There is a good thing, and this pig naturally wants to rub and ......
