Chapter 1204 The Beauty of Rules and Regulations
As night fell, the house of the owner of Zhai's Wu was still brightly lit. Zhai's father and son and representatives of several nearby villagers attended the ceremony.

"What Wang Jinglue said during the day, I don't believe in it, what is the order of a county, the prince of a hundred miles? Who in the countryside is proud of it, and the natural courage can be used. If there is a paper order, the countryside will be salty. These years, the countryside Why bother to fight for your life? What he said is nothing more than deceit and procrastination, and he is unwilling to help my family become a rich country! In my opinion, it is superfluous to call him into the house."

Zhai Hu spoke out angrily, and rarely agreed with what Wang Meng said.All he knew since he was a child was that the brave are the most powerful and the cowardly are humble, so he just sneered at what Wang Meng said, neither understanding nor believing.

As soon as the man's voice fell, there were many voices of agreement in the banquet. Some said that Wang Meng's deceitful and procrastinating words were not enough to be believed, and some said that it was a wrong decision to take refuge in Tianzhong Xingtai. They will be perfunctory for the time being, and once the army invades the pass, their aggressive and fierce stance will be fully exposed, and it is even unknown that they will be forced to relocate their villagers from their homeland.

Most of the people who said these words were young people, and the really old people didn't speak much.Inside and outside the words, both revealed distrust of Xingtai and pessimism about the future.

All the elders in the banquet, including Zhai Ci, sat and listened at first, but gradually, a few of them showed obvious disappointment on their faces.

"I don't care what Wang Jinglue said, but he can walk into the unpredictable situation of the enemy and friends with a lonely crowd, and live here. He also has conspiracy theories, and his courage is already impressive. It's ridiculous that I, the old man in Guanzhong, often boast of being brave. Raising sons and sons are all talents under the fence, trapped within the radius of this dock, but the sky and the earth are not getting warmer, and the water is rising and the tide is growing."

Zhai Ciju was sitting at the table, pointing to his son and sighing, before he felt that his son was both brave and could praise the countryside, but after getting in touch with Wang Meng, he realized what the real worldly young sages outside the countryside look like .

The great general Shen in the sky, whose name has spread far and wide in their hometown, and the two generals of the Hongwu Army near him are both young and young. The demeanor of the children in their village!

Although Guanzhong has been in turmoil for many years, it is necessary to be cautious in establishing a stable business, it is good for these sons and daughters to be vigilant.But in the eyes of Zhai Ci and other old people, the cautiousness shown by these young people is too much, and they can even be called timid, afraid of contact with the outside world, and afraid of changes in the rural environment.

Those of the older generation, in order to preserve their family property, have worked hard, or built docks to guard the border. When the thieves are powerful, they will inevitably pretend to be submissive, pretend to respond, or can hardly be called heroic. Where to thrive.

It's a pity that these young people were born in the turbulent world since they were young, and they were bound by the high walls of the dock. They didn't know the breadth of the world and the vastness of the world.

Now it is a fact that King Jinzuo has great power. Those who were originally known in Guanzhong were beaten and retreated steadily. Those powerful and powerful people based in Sanfu all retreated. These mere rural households discussed whether Xingtai was OK. What's the point of fighting for a definite result?
That General Xiao of the Hongwu Army went straight to Jingzhao suburban county after entering the country, and took down several dock walls one after another. Even if it was confirmed that he had bad intentions for them, how could they resist it even if they knew it in advance?A group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, counting when the butcher will drop the knife, no matter how accurate the calculation is, can they save their lives?

When the Hongwu army first entered the domain, Zhai Ci planned to take refuge in the power for a while, and it was these young people who opposed him the most.One by one, their faces were red and their ears were red, and they promised that if the Jin army really invaded, they would swear to save their homeland.

Zhai Ci also has this kind of awareness, and he understands more about life and death. It is easy to ask for death, but it is not easy to live.In previous years, when the rural situation was in dire straits, if he hadn't made flexible responses, these sons and daughters might not have grown up, let alone these opportunities to make wild noises.

To be honest, Zhai Ci himself was not convinced of Wang Meng's remarks during the day. The majesty of the king's orders and laws still needs to be strong to rely on. If you can be his backer, if you can't save your own life, what else can you talk about.

Zhai Ci couldn't comprehend the majesty of the king's orders and laws, but he could realize one thing, that is, this Wang Jinglue must hope to achieve something through him, so he repeatedly made high-level persuasion.Just as he hoped to instigate the Hongwu army to list the Xiangqiuyou clan as the target of attack and kill, so that his family can dominate the countryside.

It doesn't matter whether Xingtai's attitude is credible or not, it is a huge monster with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a territory of thousands of miles. Their discussion of Xingtai's attitude here is no different from discussing God's will.Not to mention Xingtai, they couldn't even affect the nearby Hongwu army.

What is really worth touching is this Wang Meng's attitude. Just as his person said, they have thousands of villages in this area, and they are not in the eyes of the general Shen in Tianzhong. It is this Wang Meng who really values ​​them.No matter what their intentions are, as long as they still want to rely on them to achieve success, they will definitely try their best to preserve them and prevent them from being listed as targets of sweeping by the Hongwu Army before their goals are achieved.

Therefore, since Wang Meng entered the country, whether it was the previous humiliation or the neglect after entering the dock, they were all temptations aimed at Wang Meng personally.Including the mention of attacking the You Clan during the day, he also hoped to test how much influence he had on the Hongwu Army, but he didn't expect Wang Meng to throw out some remarks that made them suspicious.

"Whether Wang Jinglue is credible or not, there is no doubt that Hongwu Army's Wang Shi is brave. Although there are many supporters in Dali City, Liu Wang allows General Xiao to pass through the border safely and dare not attack. Once the blade is pointed at the countryside , far from being an enemy like us villagers. No matter who will be the leader in Guanzhong in the future, it is really inappropriate to fight against each other at present."

Speaking of this, Zhai Ci sighed suddenly: "As for that Wang Jinglue said to revise the county government, he will have the right to do so before his evil intentions are revealed. The country is in a big crisis, and it is nothing but pressure from the army. Killing is useless. He is a mere man with little strength. Even if the harm is limited, there is no money, food, and manpower, how much can he take from me? If he is really greedy and cruel, like a thief, then it is not too late to fight for his life!"

"As for your son Lang, I don't care what you think of him, don't show disgust. Ask for advice. If you can make progress, you will benefit from each other. If you can really see through the sinister signs of him, then come from Pride and Shou The evil work of the township police!"

At the end, Zhai Ci looked at Zhai Hu and the other young people, and sternly reprimanded them.

Although the young people still feel dissatisfied in their hearts, they dare not disobey their parents' wishes face to face, so they can only bow down to receive training.

In short, regardless of his actual intentions, Zhai Ci, the county magistrate of Xiagui, finally expressed his support for the actual establishment of the county government. Of course, this support was only reflected in words, and the actual implementation was minimal.

Wang Meng didn't care about this, and still put forward his own ideas step by step.

After years of war and chaos, Xiagui County has long since disappeared. The first thing to do is naturally to choose a county office.There was no choice about this point, and Zhai Ci waved his hand in a rare and magnanimous manner to designate an area outside Wubi as the location of the county office.

Up to now, he still only regards this as a joke. After years of devastation in the countryside, it is not easy to re-establish the order.

However, after Wang Meng was ordered, he attached great importance to it, and simply moved directly into the so-called county office.And the so-called county offices are just a few residential buildings in a mixed arrangement, and Zhai Ci didn't even allocate manpower to repair them.

There was no force available, so Wang Meng did it himself, and with a dozen soldiers around him, he spent a few days erecting a fence to enclose the county office, and clearly told Wubi people not to come and go at will. .However, on the first day when the regulations were promulgated, there were more than a dozen offenders, and even some urchins went straight through the gaps in the fence, ran and even defecated inside, and there were endless laughter from inside and outside.

Wang Meng didn't ask people to drive them away, he just took pictures of all the offenders, and presented them to Zhai Ci to report: "The government is in place, and the rules are in place. If the slaves violate the ban, public punishment or private law, I respectfully invite the Ming government to Self-degree."

Zhai Cichu didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw Wang Meng's serious face, he felt a little ashamed: "The villagers are vulgar and despicable, and they have been undisciplined for a long time, which made Jing Lue laugh. I will send someone to reprimand me later, not to allow such things. The evil embryo will make this order again."

"It's been like this for a long time in Wuzhong, and when this order is issued suddenly, how can the folks obey the order for a while. Besides, the so-called administration is in my own courtyard..."

Zhai Hu was a little dissatisfied and said that today the villagers went to make trouble, including his agitation, which was also a deliberate provocation.

"The king of Shang established the tree as his faith, the punishment and reward were built at the end of the day, and the Qin emperor's hegemony was achieved. The Ming government was used for a hundred miles, and the slaves were still dead. How can the punishment be powerful for the herdsmen?"

Wang Meng replied seriously.

Zhai Hu was about to speak, but he saw that his grandfather was already staring at him, so he could only keep silent.

"Although I respectfully accept the post of the county, but since I live in a shabby homeland, I don't know much about etiquette, so I have to rely a lot on the scenery."

Zhai Ci laughed again and said, seeing Wang Meng's actions, he felt that it was not meaningless. Although he has the authority in Wuzhong, he is not too harsh on the folks in many cases. If Wang Meng came forward, he could establish some rules and regulations It is also a benefit for people to obey.

Wang Meng stood up and cupped his hands again and said: "When I entered the government from a humble position, I was originally an assistant to the Ming government. I dared not say anything about the affairs within my duties. Although the administration was drafted, there was still a shortage of officials. At present, only the Ming government is working in the county. , lowly positions, there are still lacks of officials such as county lieutenant, meritorious service, household, Zuo, and Ci..."

Wang Meng compared the local government system in Xingtai, and introduced how a county office should have officials and their respective duties.After Zhai Ci and his son heard these introductions, they couldn't help pricking up their ears, and signaled Wang Meng to explain in detail.The names of these subordinate officials have a clear division of labor, which is also of great reference significance for their own management of Wubi.

However, Zhai Ci is still a little more sensitive: "Jing Lue mentioned that there are many officials who have been employed, are these also appointed by the government?"

"Those who are appointed by Xingtai are only Ling, Cheng, and Lieutenant. The rest belong to the public, and all need to be appointed by the Ming government. To feed and feed the officials..."

Zhai Ci didn't care much about salary and farmland. There are many barren fields in the village, and most of the time, there are no people to cultivate them or the safety is not guaranteed, so they dare not cultivate them.However, he was relieved to hear that these subordinate officials could be hired by himself. He didn't want to let too many outsiders enter his house under the pretense of being a county magistrate.

"Everyone in the wild village can be appointed as a subordinate official? Also in other docks?"

Zhai Hu was also moved when he heard these words, first of all he thought that if he could use this to call other Wubi masters in the township to serve as officials, wouldn't he be indirectly enslaving other Wubi Bingxiangqus?This idea is really ridiculous, but he has seen so much, if his grandfather has not served as a county magistrate, he would not even know that the countryside still needs such a title.

"This point needs to be discussed by the Ming government on its own. If it uses non-human beings and does not take care of them, it will just be a waste of business."

Wang Meng still explained patiently.

Zhai Ci was very moved at the moment, he didn't care much about the county government, but if he could take this opportunity to sort out the affairs in Wubi and have a clear division of labor, it would be quite advisable.

So taking advantage of this enthusiasm, he asked these officials for their names in detail, and even signed the appointment with a pen, accepted the appointment of more than a dozen Cao officials in one go, and then gave up, and summoned those appointed, and then invited them Wang Meng explained to them their respective responsibilities.

Wang Meng did not despise this grass-roots team. After a detailed introduction, he said seriously: "Since you have become officials, you can no longer be lazy and wasteful. You enter the office day and night to listen to it. It is fundamental for each of you to do your duty. Then there must be punishment!"

Those people were originally stewards in Wubi, and they didn't feel much about being assigned another official title. On the contrary, they were quite complacent about their official appointment, but when they heard that Wang Meng, an outsider, actually threatened them, they felt a little bit dissatisfied. Respond with anger.

"Shut up! Wang Cheng is a rare young sage in the sky. General Shen in the sky is here to take care of the rural affairs and is specially sent here to help the local people. Even I have to treat me with a banquet. How dare you wait for the rural poor to be rude! Let me rule the county, and Wang Cheng is my good assistant, and his instructions will be just like what I said in the future, since you have been employed as officials, if you dare to violate the prohibition, you will be punished!"

Zhai Ci pulled his face at the table at the moment, and said angrily.When the others saw this, they quickly stopped their voices, and just like Wang Meng, they clasped their hands and called Mingfu.

It was not until the appointment of officials was completed that Wang Meng brought up the affairs of citizenship again.Now the officials in the county office are considered rough, but there is no one in the county to govern, which is really ridiculous.

Although Zhai Ci was enthusiastic about appointing officials, when it came to this point, his attitude became subtle again. To record the household registration is tantamount to revealing his family fortune to others. How could he be unprepared for this.

"After the establishment of the county office, recruiting tourists and reclaiming wilderness are all natural tasks. This is a long-term achievement, and there is no need to rush. There are also surveys of the territory, delineation of land management, and these tasks need to be done calmly."

Zhai Ci didn't want to enroll his private household in naturalization, Wang Meng didn't force this point, but proposed another plan.

Hearing this, Zhai Ci's eyes lit up. In fact, there are many wandering refugees in the countryside. Although they, the dock masters, cherish their shady households, they are all villagers who have formed cliques and lived together for many years. For those refugees who wander in the wild In fact, I am not willing to accept it, maybe there are some kind of villains hiding inside, if a large number of people are called in, it will cause disaster to the family.

But now he can recruit these people through the county office to control them, which is like increasing his own strength, and there is no need to place these people in the dock wall, and gather the field government orders to restrain them, so Zhai Ci is really special about this Enthusiastic, he continued to ask questions, especially asking in detail if the foreign invaders came to harass after the county boundary was determined and the residents were reorganized, would the Hongwu Army come forward to retreat from the enemy?
After receiving Wang Meng's affirmative answer, Zhai Ci was even more excited, and directly decided to let his son Zhai Hu lead the Xiangqu to organize a search team to recruit refugees in the countryside.Originally, he had a dispensable attitude towards this so-called county magistrate, but now he really paid attention to it, and felt that what Wang Meng said before is that the public weapon is in hand and needs to be used.

Although Zhai Ci is still cautious about what Wang Meng's intentions are, at least so far, he has not found that these measures have harmed him. On the contrary, if he executes well, the power he can control can be multiplied times.

Not only Zhai Ci began to care about the county office, even Zhai Hu, who had always been dissatisfied with Wang Meng, also asked earnestly there if he could serve as the county captain?
However, Wang Meng didn't need to answer this question. Zhai Ci had already decided to appoint Zhang Tao, the owner of Zhang's Wubi who was going to be nearby, and also his relative, as the county captain of Xiagui.Although the two companies were also good friends before, they lacked a master-slave relationship and still operated independently.If the status of the two can be established through the county office, even if it is only in name, it will be of great significance.

With Zhai Ci's full support, the construction of the entire Xiaju County Office is also in full swing.First of all, the implementation of the ban, Zhai Ci even personally hung up his grandson who led the urchin into the county office to defecate and play, and beat dozens of times in public. The bloody bamboo stick was also daunting.

With the development of various affairs, Wang Meng's iron fist method gradually established a reputation in Wubi. Since Zhai Ci still cared about his hometown, many villains wanted Wang Meng to act, and Wang Meng never refused to come and did his duty. With all his efforts, in just a few days, his prestige gradually surpassed that of Zhai Ci, the master of Wubi.

And the implementation of such a tough rule, the effect is also immediate, and soon the entire appearance of the dock wall will be greatly changed.In the past, it was all based on the affairs of the Zhai family and his sons. Now the division of labor is clear, and the rewards and punishments are strict, which makes the orders of the whole Wubi strict and the efficiency of various affairs is greatly increased.

"The beauty of the rules is so great! Wang Lang is a great talent, given time, he can be a good assistant for the king. How lucky is this old man to be able to control such a virtuous man!"

Feeling the benefits brought by order, Zhai Ci treated Wang Meng with double courtesy, and he always praised him highly. What made him even more satisfied was that no matter how much praise Wang Meng received, he always abided by etiquette and always put himself in the right position. overstep.From his point of view, he is more satisfied, and looking at his relatives who still have bad habits that are hard to change, he can't help being even more dissatisfied.

The change of atmosphere in Wubi is still a trivial matter, what made Zhai Ci even more delighted was that the supplies escorted by Xiao Yuandong to the Hongwu Army Camp had finally arrived in the county.And following them, there is a whole battalion of [-] Hongwu soldiers and more than [-] soldiers.

Up to now, no matter how wary Zhai Ci is, he has no dissatisfaction with Wang Meng. This is simply the good help that God favors and bestows on him!And choosing to take refuge in Xingtai has become the most correct choice in his life.If this trend continues, there is no need to seek help from the Hongwu Army. With the power he possesses alone, he will be able to wipe out the feud and dominate the country in one fell swoop.

Not to mention Zhai Ci's dream of dominating the country, all this is just a starting point for Wang Meng, and his demands on himself are definitely not limited to governing a mere dock wall!
　The plot of Wang Meng is really stuck and uncomfortable, but it is still a little boring.The Guanzhong people described in this chapter seem to be a bit politically incompetent, but after a long period of turmoil, it can indeed be said that the Guanzhong people have basically lost a certain amount of system construction ability.A similar example is Xiang Yu, who can be regarded as incompetent in system construction. This is also a typical example of system construction failing to digest the results of the war.
