At noon, the first village chief who registered the names of 10,000 people, family members, and birth dates stood outside Zhuge Liang's wooden house with 20 lieutenant chiefs.

"Lord Lao is tired of passing on Lord Shangshu below, and Zhao Liyan, the head of Bingwu Street, has led 20 lieutenants to register the birthdates of 10,000 people on Bingwu Street."

Lin Jun, who was guarding outside the wooden house, took a look and found that it was a young man who was nearly twenty years old, and the twenty elders standing behind him were not very old.

Then he went down the steps, took the thin booklet from his hand, and said, "Wait here, and do not make any noise." ”

"I understand below, there is Master Lao."

Zhao Liyan bowed.

Lin Junwang nodded lightly and returned to the wooden house with the booklet.

Zhuge Liang sat at the table, shaking the feather fan while asking, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Junwang came to the wooden table, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiqi Shangshu, the head of the characteristic village of Bingwu Street has led twenty lieutenants to verify the birthdates of the 10,000 people on Bingwu Street and registered them. ”

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang said: "You go to the city and ask the two hundred households of the Imperial City Division to bring people here, and then you take the booklet to Bingwu Street, randomly check fifteen to twenty households, and ask them about the content of the booklet to see if what they say is consistent with the content of the booklet." ”

"Yes."

Lin Jun bowed and left.

After he left, Zhuge Liang once again laid his eyes on the white paper on the table. It is full of most subjects related to people's livelihood.

In addition to Chu Hao's business, farmland, civil construction, education, winemaking, textile, medical care, aquaculture, etc., he also added laws, punishments, rituals, sacrifices, seals, blacksmiths, martial arts, military affairs, carpentry, stonemasons, miners, potters, silkworms, fishermen, kitchen workers, arithmetic, etc.

Subsequently, the division of the various departments was carried out.

Carpentry, stonemasonry, miner, potter, silkworm worker, fisherman, kitchen worker, civil engineering and construction, blacksmith, salt worker, casting and sealing, winemaking, weaving, and arithmetic are all part of the Ministry of Industry.

Laws and punishments belong to the Ministry of Punishment.

Martial arts and military affairs belong to the Ministry of War.

Arithmetic, business, farmland, medical care, and aquaculture belong to the household department.

Rituals, sacrifices, and education belong to the Ministry of Rites.

Among the six ministries, only the remaining officials did not choose subjects, and Zhuge Liang felt that the officials of the ministry needed a formal imperial examination to leave a hope for the scholars of the world.

Otherwise, after this notice is posted, the only remaining scholars may make a fuss after they find out that they can only take the teaching and education exam.

Although this probability is very small, Zhuge Liang is not ready to gamble.

At this time, more and more characteristic village chiefs gathered outside the door.

About half an hour later, a full 160 characteristic village chiefs and 3,200 characteristic lieutenant chiefs all gathered in Waiguo City.

Immediately afterwards, a hundred auxiliary troops led by Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi also came to Zhuge Liang's wooden house.

After they went to Shangguan Haitang in the morning for their father Fu Tianqiu's matter, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help with this, and only told them that many meritorious contributions could make Chu Hao extrajudicial mercy.

So, after Lin Junwang arrived at the Imperial City Division to explain Zhuge Liang's order, the sisters hurriedly brought a hundred people each here.

At this moment, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi looked at the characteristic village chiefs and lieutenant chiefs who had gathered in front of the door, then came to the wooden house, bowed down and said, "Imperial City Si Baihu, Fu Qingfeng, Fu Yuechi meet Lord Shangshu." ”

After Zhuge Liang heard their voices, he looked up in surprise and saw that the two sisters were standing in front of the door.

He had lived in the palace for a while, so he naturally recognized the two sisters, and immediately stood up with a smile and said, "It turned out to be two." ”

Fu Qingfeng arched his hand and said, "May I ask what Lord Shangshu commands?" ”

After Zhuge Liang walked to their side with a feather fan, he said with a smile: "This time, the two of you brought people here to do the official a favor." ”

"Have you seen those characteristic village chiefs outside?"

"I have ordered them to keep a register of the birthdates and birthplaces of the 10,000 people under their jurisdiction, but there may be a number of them who are indiscriminate, so I bothered the two and the two hundred men they had brought, and took the books from them, and went to the streets under their charge to randomly check the fifteen or twenty houses, and asked them what was in the books, to see if what they said was consistent with the contents of the books."

After listening to his words, the sisters of the Fu family immediately bowed their hands and said, "Humble and orderly." ”

After that, he turned around and walked out of the house, repeated what Zhuge Liang said with the people he brought with them, and when everyone understood, he took the book from the hands of those characteristic village chiefs and went to the city.

Forty men were left to stand guard outside the hut, lest any of them flee or commit crimes.

As I waited, the sky grew gloomy.

Zhuge Liang stood in front of the door and looked up at the sky, then sighed lightly: "It's going to rain again." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Lin Junwang driving the Sinan car from the city gate quickly.

When Sinan's car stopped in front of the wooden house, he jumped off the car, walked a few steps to the door, bowed down and said: "My lord, I have visited a total of thirty households, and what they said is the same as in the book, and there is no discrepancy. ”

After Zhuge Liang nodded, he looked at those characteristic village chiefs and said, "Zhao Liyan, the characteristic village chief of Bingwu Street." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Liyan, who was only twenty years old, immediately walked out of the crowd, stood in front of everyone, bowed down and said, "The villain is here." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said calmly: "You are the first of these one hundred and sixty characteristic village chiefs to complete the order of the official, and there are no errors or omissions in the civil register after random inspection, and you are now promoted to the acting county commander of Jiangning County for a period of one year." ”

Zhao Liyan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain takes the order." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Don't be busy rejoicing first, during this period, this official will personally inquire about the 10,000 people, if there is a family that does not match the records in the civil register, you will be pressed into prison and punished for dereliction of duty." ”

"This official will give you a chance now, if there is a mistake in the book, you will say it, this official will pardon you for your innocence, and you will still be the county commander of Jiangning."

Zhao Liyan bowed and clenched his fists, and said in a sincere tone: "Lord Qiyu, there is no mistake or omission in what the villain records, if one person remembers wrongly, the villain is willing to commit suicide by hanging the beam in the Jiangning County Ya, and at the same time, the wife and children will be killed together!" ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Okay, I order you to go to the military department immediately to lead a hundred horsemen to Renjiangning County." As for your wife and children, the official will treat them as if they were county family members for one year, and after one year, if there are no defects, and you have worked diligently during your tenure of office, you will be allowed to return to Beijing to pick them up. ”

Zhao Liyan bowed down and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

With that, he turned and left.

Zhuge Liang looked at his departing back, and instructed Lin Junwang beside him: "Check him, the booklet he recorded will also be handed over to you, remember, don't miss out on 10,000 people." ”

Lin Jun bowed down and said, "Humble and orderly." ”

With that, he turned away.
