Since Lu Songli has decided that the people of Youzhou will decide the stay of these officials in Youzhou, he will implement it step by step.

Lu Songli knows that the literacy rate of the common people is not high, so the simpler the election and publicity this time, the better.

Lu Songli made a batch of hard-shell paper cards, on which were written the names of officials from the twelve counties of Yuyang County, but they were classified by region.

For example, in Lu County, there were two officials left, Zhang Yong and Shen Kun. The names of two people will be written on the card, followed by a tick and a cross.

The people of Lu County only need to put their fingerprints on the tick and cross, so as to decide whether the official will go or stay.

Lu Songli directly dispatched a group of grassroots officials from Pingzhou to take charge of this matter, and then asked Qin Yan and Qin's second brother to arrange for the army to assist. First, it can ensure that the election is genuine, and that the people are willing and not forced. Second, you can also find out the grassroots level in Youzhou.

Ning Changge and Zhou Jing were in charge of the investigation in Lu County.

The two of them came to Silvertree Village with four or five helpers, as well as a small group of soldiers.

With the cooperation of the village chief, people from every family came to gather in front of the ancestral dam.

Zhou Jing and other students distributed hard-shell paper cards to every household in Yinshu Village, one for each household.

Receiving the hard-shell paper card that belongs to their own family, the Zhuang family is at a loss,

A few boys curiously reached out and touched the paper card, which was hard, like paper, and harder than paper.

They thought to themselves that Liaodong County in Pingzhou could always toss something new.

After the distribution was completed, Ning Changge began to speak, "Everyone got their own paper cards, right?" ”

"Got it."

"Got it."

Faced with this sparse answer, Ning Changge was not annoyed, but picked up a hard-shell paper card to explain, "Look, the first name on this card is Zhang Yongzhang County Lieutenant, and the second name, that is, the name below is Shen Kun Shen County Cheng." If you think that County Lieutenant Zhang Yongzhang has done a good job in office over the years, just put a handprint on the place where you ticked it. ”

Ning Changge, who spoke, paused.

The villagers said in their hearts that they felt like a ghost!

"If you think he can't do a good job, and you don't want him to continue to be an official in Lu County, just put your handprint on the cross at the back. It's very simple, do you understand everything? ”

The village chief looked at the villagers who looked like gourds and couldn't help but say, "What about you, do you understand?" What a squeak. ”

Some villagers boldly replied, "My lord, it's so simple, we all understand." "They're just illiterate, and they're not stupid.

"Okay, then you can go back with the hard-shell paper card and discuss which one to choose."

"My lord, do you have to fill it in?" A villager asked hesitantly.

"If it's not forced, you can also fill in nothing and see it as a waiver, but you have to think clearly. Do you see this cloth shed? If you don't have any ink at home, you can take the card and press it inside, and then give it to us. ”

"It's midday, and we're going to be here at two o'clock in the afternoon to collect the cardboard cards. At the same time, during this time our soldiers will patrol the village. If it's okay, let's go back first. ”

Some of the villagers have gone home one after another, but there are still a lot of villagers gathered on the dam, which is so rare that they can't wait to join in the whole scene.

Ning Changge didn't care about them, their people were packing up and preparing to rush to the next village.

Before leaving, Ning Changge said to Zhou Jing, "It's okay for the two of you to stay in Yinshu Village, right?" ”

Zhou Jing: "Don't worry, isn't there still Team Zhang and his team members here." ”

"That's fine. If there is something to do, let people go to the next village to find me. "Ning Changge is not the kind of person who is crooked.

At this time, a kid from Yinshu Village asked curiously, "Lord Ning, are you going to Liujia Village next door?" ”

"Yes."

"How about I show you the way?"

"That's great, bother you, little brother."

"No trouble, no trouble."

After Ning Changge and the others left, Zhou Jing's stomach hurt, so he confessed to his classmates and went to find a place to solve it.

He knocked on a house, and it was an old lady who opened the door.

He asked politely, "Auntie, I want to make it convenient, can I borrow the precious land?" ”

"Yes, yes." Aunt Zhang recognized him as with the adult who issued the card.

She said in her heart, borrowing the thatched toilet is borrowing the thatched toilet, and what kind of precious land, the reader speaks in a crepe.

After Zhou Jing relieved his hand, he was wearing his trouser belt, when he heard footsteps coming from the side of the toilet, he thought it was passing by, but he didn't expect the footsteps to stop, and then the sound of talking rang out.

First, an old male voice said, "Ah Yuan, don't be impulsive. ”

followed by a male duck voice in the voice change period, "Second uncle, no matter what, this time I will press on the fork behind Zhang Yong." ”

Finally, there was a clear young man's voice, "Ah Yuan, you don't think that you can bring down Master Zhang like this, right?" ”

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy stubbornly said, "I don't know what the end result will be, but I think it's an opportunity and I should try it." ”

"You are really whimsical, have you ever thought that if your actions are known by Yan Zhonglei, you will not only harm your family, but you will also affect us!"

Zhou Jing knew that the Yan Zhonglei they mentioned was the village tyrant of Ginkgo Village.

Zhang Xuyuan, a young man with a male duck voice, insisted, "That Lord Ning just now was very thoughtful, I can go into the cloth shed and write the answer again, no one will know." ”

Zhang Xuyuan's cousin still disagreed.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Zhou Jing coughed twice to show his existence.

He frightened the Zhang family at this moment, "Who?" ”

Zhou Jing pushed the door out, "It's me, who borrowed the thatched house." ”

Seeing Zhou Jing, the Zhang family's father and son were obviously relieved, they recognized it, this person who was with Lord Ning just now seemed to be his deputy.

But at this time, it is very embarrassing.

Zhou Jing smiled and patted Zhang Xuyuan's shoulder, "Little brother is so brave." He was not shy about saying this, and he heard their conversation.

Zhang Xuyuan looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but speak for him, "Uncle, I think you father and son should try to believe in this little brother, and also try to believe in our new policy." ”

Old Man Zhang's mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Zhang Xuyuan's cousin disagreed.

Zhou Jing said to him, "Big brother, you can choose to be silent, but please don't ridicule or even slander those who are braver than you, such as your cousin, because the light they have won may one day shine on you." ”

This sentence is simple and philosophical, I didn't understand it at first, but after chewing it twice, I faintly realized it.

Zhang Xuyuan's cousin snorted.

After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he nodded with them and left.

Zhang Xuyuan looked at the back of the other party leaving with shining eyes, and there was only one thought in his heart, he wanted to join them.
