Yangzhou City, a sign of a bumper harvest.

The people who came and went to Yangzhou Chengfang Street were all in a hurry, and after buying a batch of coarse sacks on the Fang Street to hold the harvest, they hurriedly returned to their fields.

After seven months of serving, the paddy fields finally ushered in the harvest time.

In the endless golden rice fields, the golden color is the straw left behind after the rice.

When the straw is dry, it is all stacked into haystacks.

These haystacks are also of great use, and the people who are useless wait for those who raise cattle to come and collect them and feed them.

There are also people who need to build adobe houses, and they need to use straw to make large adobe, hire a donkey cart to pull a stack of mud away, and the straw needed for a few houses is enough.

Or if the roof of someone's house leaks, they can also use straw to stir the yellow mud and dry it to shelter from the wind and rain.

In short, the wisdom of the farmer, so that what grows in the field, can come in handy.

"Harvest the grain! Harvest the grain! ”

"Knock knock!"

Ma Chang took off his crimson official robe after a long absence, changed back into a cloth coat, and personally took the old lady back to Yangzhou City in a carriage.

This time, just the carriage leaked stuffing and exposed his identity-

The law stipulates that commoners are forbidden to raise and use horses, and can only keep donkeys and donkey carts.

On weekdays, the people of Yangzhou City often see soldiers and magistrates, who will drive a carriage around the street, but they have never seen a person in burlap riding a carriage.

"Ouch, this official is so familiar."

After Ma Changchang entered Yangzhou City, he wanted to go home in a low-key manner and pick up his home again, but as soon as he entered the city, he was found to have an unusual identity.

And Yangzhou City is not what it used to be, in the past, only the landlords and gentry could live freely and happily, and the people in Yangzhou City were almost all tenant farmers.

But now it is completely different, after the DPRK and China explicitly banned the sale of land, and added the equalization of land and the accommodation of displaced people.

Unconsciously, Yangzhou City has skyrocketed from only 50,000 households in previous years to 130,000 households and 500,000 Yangzhou residents in just one year.

It almost surpassed the population of the year before and when Chang'an was still Yongzhou.

And the wilderness and the foot of the mountain that no one cared about before were also inhabited by many people, and almost every piece of land had an owner.

The more Ma Changyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was really exaggerated, he had only been in the office for two years, and the changes were so big.

The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.

Although there are many people who inquire about his identity, there are not many familiar faces because there are too many outsiders.

Returning to Majiatun, where he grew up since childhood, Ma Changchang saw some familiar grandfathers and grandmothers.

"Before, your sheep ran to our field! Ate a large field of rice! As a result, let's say less about receiving one stone of polished rice! ”

"You promised to pay for it! How can you say that you can regret it? ”

As soon as I returned to the village, the local officials at the entrance of the village and the officials responsible for recording and paying were still collecting grain.

In the crowd queuing up for food, there were two elderly grandmothers arguing with each other.

"You lion open your mouth! I have two sheep at home! If you don't work for half a day, how can you eat a stone of grain? My family is a sheep and not a pixiu, how can I eat so much? ”

"It's almost the same as paying you thirty liters of polished rice, you can't slander people like this."

Another grandmother retorted angrily:

"Hey! Your sheep ate so many rice seedlings for me when the rice was not yet grown! ”

"If your sheep don't come to eat, the seedlings in these three points of land can at least harvest a stone and a half of rice! Losing one stone is half a stone! ”

The two ladies quarreled with each other, and there was almost no such dispute in previous years, because in previous years, everyone was a tenant farmer, and there was no opportunity to raise sheep, cows, chickens and ducks, etc.

Now, Yangzhou City encourages families to raise cattle, sheep and donkeys, and unconsciously, there are more and more such disputes.

"Two aunts, why don't you go to the Dali Department and let the judge of the Dali Department give you a comment, so if you insist on your own words, you will not be able to quarrel until the Year of the Monkey." Ma Changchang kindly suggested that they go to the Dali Department.

Because in his view, the Dali Department is the place to seek justice.

However, as soon as the two eldest ladies heard this, they immediately muttered to themselves:

"Count it as a bear, and return it to the Dali Department, after the official master awards compensation, I don't know how much to deduct, and we don't have the money to ask the official to call the shots for us."

"Oh, I'm more generous, okay? I will pay you fifty liters, if you want more, I would rather give more to the official master, so that the official master will give us justice. ”

"Oops!" Ma Changchang urgently interrupted their dispute, and looked at them with some dismay, because Ma Changchang knew that under the separation of powers, no official dared to accept bribes from the people in private, why did they still hold such an opinion?

"Two aunts, have you been to the Dali Department? The Dali Department does not charge a penny for adjudicating cases for the people, and the national law is clearly written, and those who dare to use their official positions for personal gain are not only unsafe, but in fact they are all ordinary! ”

"What? This descendant, are you fooling the eldest mother? In previous years, we had to walk around when we saw the official master, but now although we are not afraid of the official master, how dare we trouble the official master because of this little thing? Isn't that something to look for? If the official master is unhappy and doesn't know what to do with us, count it as a bear. ”

The two eldest ladies continued to quarrel with themselves, and they didn't take Ma Changchang's words seriously at all.

Now, it's Ma Chang who is not happy-

The Dali Office is set up in the local area to make decisions for the people.

If the people think like this after encountering something, if they can not see the officials, they will inevitably not see the officials, which is a reflection of the fact that the national law has not fallen into the locality.

To put it mildly, the judiciary of the Great Zhou Empire is still not trusted by the people, and the credibility of the Great Zhou is in a state of absence.

That's not going to work.

"Two aunts, I am the Siqing of Sinong Temple in Beijing, this trip is specially taken advantage of the vacation to return to the hometown, I guarantee with my black yarn hat, the Dali Department will definitely not accept you a little benefit, not only that, but also in accordance with the law of the country, to give the two aunts a reasonable justice."

"If the Dali Department dares to ask the two ladies for benefits, I don't wear this black yarn!"

The two aunts were stunned by a few words, and Ma Changchang immediately used his own carriage for the insistence in his heart, and pulled the two ladies to Yangzhou Chengfang Street without saying a word.

The Dali Department is located next to the Thorn History Mansion.

And the Nayan Office, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is also on the square street diagonally opposite the neighborhood.

"Oh, the afterlife, or let's admit it, she will give her a stone if she wants a stone, we don't want to make a big deal about it, and we actually ran to the Dali Department......"

Ordinary people are still reflexively afraid of the official master, for fear that being seen by the official master will only attract bad things.

"How many of you are here to find a request?"

The two ladies who were reluctant to enter the Dali Department suddenly heard an inquiry outside.

Ma Yuan turned his head and saw that the visitor was wearing a green robe from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
