After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 188 Participating in Government Affairs

"What?" Xu Zhenying raised her eyebrows, "You don't want to do it or you can't do it?"

Xu Yinxi immediately said: "You can do it!"

After a moment of pause, she said firmly: "I can still do a good job!"

Xu Zhenying smiled, "That's right! I like girls who dare to think and challenge! Again, when the opportunity comes, seize it! By the way, I will give you my first cousin again. He is in the army. After staying there for a few months, there are still some redeeming features. If you take him there, you will have a military guarantee."

"Yes!"

Xu Yinxi's expression remained normal, but only her tight body and rising and falling chest betrayed her excitement at the moment.

It's almost dawn.

Her Xu Yinxi's world also brightened up.

Walking from Bianjing City to Lan County, from a woman to be married who was ruthlessly abandoned by her fiancé to a female magistrate in charge of a county, this step... she stumbled, but she finally arrived.

Xu Yinxi couldn't explain how she felt.

Thinking back to the timid self, it feels like it was a lifetime ago.

Her eyes were slightly red, but she endured it. She only held Xu Zhenying's hand and said word by word: "Sixth sister, thank you. I am willing to do my best for you in this life."

Xu Zhenying patted her gently, "I don't want you to be a mess, I want you to live a good life, live a wonderful life, find what you love, and live to be the person you most want to be."

Xu Yinxi's eyes were filled with mist. She stared blankly at Xu Zhenying, but a voice in her heart said: Xu Zhenying, do you know that the person I want to live most is you, and it has always been you.

What you love is what I love.

What you fight for, I am willing to fight with you.

I want to create a new world with you!

------------------

"Ouch, this is really getting into a fight!"

The busiest place in Lan County is always in front of the county government's bulletin board.

No, just after dawn, the people entering the city surrounded him.

Especially starting from half a month ago, the county government will post notices every Monday, explaining the new policies of Lan County, the general trend of the world outside Lan County, and some tips for life.

Nowadays, comprehensive education is slowly being rolled out. The first round is for people aged ten to fifteen years old. People at this age are easier to control than younger people, and they are already sensible. After one and a half years of studying, they can be taught by Xu Zhenying. To recruit strong men, you can start working immediately after training.

At this moment, the school has not yet opened, and there are children joining in the fun, reading the notice aloud to the pinyin on it.

"Oh my god, is there really a fight in the southeast and the sea? There is an emperor in the southeast and an emperor in the north. Are these two emperors fighting? Alas, who can tell me that Prince Gong's son was adopted by the late emperor? , then what is his relationship with the rebellious Prince Ming?"

Someone smiled and answered: "Oh, don't forget, we still have an emperor in Lan County."

"Student, what else is written on this, please read it to everyone!"

The child's voice was still a little immature, and he read every word very seriously.

"What, there are a group of bandits in Shouzhou and they have established themselves as kings? God, how many emperors are there in the Zhou Dynasty now? Tsk tsk, this is really going to cause chaos."

"Isn't that right? It also says that the Tatars from the north are heading south. I'm afraid General Zhao won't be able to resist them for long. One hundred thousand people were killed by the Tatars in one night. These dogs didn't even spare women and children. It’s okay to burn and loot, but actually massacre the city!”

Everyone sighed.

"Hey, hey, stop talking and look at the bottom! Fixed taxation will be implemented this year. Why are our head tax and land tax in Lan County so high? Two hundred thousand taels! Is this crazy?"

"What? Didn't we just pay the poll tax last year? It should be collected every two years. Why did it start collecting it again this year?"

"It's written here that there are a lot of refugees in Jinzhou Prefecture this year, and there are a lot of immigrants who have settled here. The ones paid last year are not the same as this year!"

"What a joke! Our Jinzhou Prefecture suffered such a big disaster last year, and we didn't see any money for disaster relief. Now that the land has not been secured, we are forced to pay taxes again? Two hundred thousand taels, which is more than last year's tax amount. A total of fifty thousand taels!"

"The Dog Court! Tens of thousands of people in Jinzhou Prefecture have starved to death this year, but these dog officials only care about their own enjoyment and treat us like animals. What the hell! Our Lan County has long been occupied by rogue bandits. What kind of idiots are we? Do you still have to pay taxes to the court?”

The people next to me kept trying to stop me, "Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say! You will lose your head if you say these things!"

"Be careful what you say! This is Lan County, Xu Zhenying's territory! It's not his territory of the Zhou Dynasty. If he wants to collect our taxes, we have to see whether our city lord agrees!"

"What can the city lord do if he doesn't agree? When the gang of rootless people from the Transportation Department come, won't the city lord still have to pay taxes? Our Communist Party in Lan County only has such a small number of troops. Is it possible that you let the city lord and the court Confrontation between armies?”

"Hey, that's not necessarily true! Didn't we just recruit troops a few days ago? It is said that the refugees have chosen a thousand female soldiers and three thousand male soldiers, plus us young and middle-aged people. If you calculate it this way, we in Lan County can still Collect ten thousand troops and horses!"

"It doesn't matter if you can gather the troops. Could it be that you want the city lord to rebel?"

It has to be said that the people of Lan County are becoming more and more bold in their speech. In the past, they did not dare to listen to these words, but now they dare to openly mention the word rebellion in front of the county government office.

The reason is that Xu Zhenying has never been punished for his words, and Xu Zhenying also encouraged everyone to discuss government affairs, especially the affairs of the previous medical school. The dozen or so medical school owners jointly signed a letter, pointing out that the establishment of the medical school was to compete with the people.

The people of Lan County originally thought that according to usual practice, these dozen people would definitely be imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying received them politely, and after fully listening to their opinions, he incorporated the medical clinic into the medical school.

Xu Zhenying even informed the people of this matter with great fanfare, saying that he allowed and encouraged the people to put forward their own opinions on government affairs.

Therefore, the people of Lan County are extremely enthusiastic about participating in government affairs.

And this is very painful for the people under Xu Zhenying.

When you are an official in Lan County, you are afraid that others will know that you are an official. Otherwise, if you encounter enthusiastic people and treat you to a drink of water and a bowl of noodles, the righteous people may be caught and stabbed in front of Xu Zhenying. "What are you talking about rebellion? What we are talking about now is taxation! It is written here that this year's taxes must be collected within two months. You just wait, the eunuchs will have to show off again this year Lucky you."

Speaking of these eunuchs, the aboriginal people of Lan County expressed disgust and contempt.

When collecting taxes last year, the eunuch asked all the people in the city to kneel down at the city gate to greet him. A man with sound limbs had to be carried in a sedan chair by eight people before he could step into the city gate of Lan County. It was really awe-inspiring.

Not to mention that the eunuch had lured many girls from good families into the capital by asking for cards.

That made Lan County complain.

They really hate eunuchs.

In their hearts, they all hope that the city lord can be tougher and stop groveling before a eunuch like Sun Qingchen did last year.

"There's good news here!" The kid pointed to the notice next to him, "Here's the notice from our Lan County. The first one says that in the future, soldiers will not be given five acres of land. From now on, they will only be given one mu of land every month. Two silver coins, three meals, but additional medical benefits and posthumous compensation."

"What is medical insurance?"

"As long as you are in the army, no matter whether you are injured while charging into battle, injured while doing farm work, or have a bump while out for fun, all medical expenses will be covered!"

The onlookers were shocked, "Does it count if I get injured while out playing?"

"Forget it, forget it! Teacher Xiao Xu told us about this medical benefit a few days ago. He said that as long as you are in the army for one day, as long as you are not retired, it doesn't matter what you did, as long as you are injured, this medical benefit will be treated It doesn’t cost a penny to see a doctor.”

Everyone looked envious. You know, it was very expensive to see a doctor and take medicine in the Zhou Dynasty, especially if there was a person who was injured and disabled, which could bring down a whole family.

Someone immediately shouted: "Oh, don't tell me, I think this medical benefit is even more cost-effective than the field! Which soldier is not injured? This injury may mean that five acres of land have to be sold. !”

"Isn't that the truth! Oh, young man, what is the compensation after death?"

The young man took a closer look and then enthusiastically explained to everyone: "Posthumous compensation means that if you die on the battlefield, your family will be compensated not only ten taels of silver at a time, but also another two taels of silver every month! Until you My son or daughter has grown up!"

"Then...what if the mother-in-law remarries?"

"If you remarry, as long as the baby doesn't change his surname, I'll give you one tael! There will also be one tael for the parents!"

Someone immediately covered their chests and said, "Amitabha, the city lord is really a kind person!"

"This condition is so generous, it makes me want to join the army!"

"Then why don't you go? Weren't we recruiting troops a few days ago?"

"Oh, don't mention it! They say I'm too short and won't let you in!"

"There is also a soldier in our village. I see that he is not very tall -"

Someone sneered, "How can the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty compare with our Lan County soldiers? Look at our Lan County soldiers. They are all tall and energetic, and every one of them can read and write! Just the last one There are not enough manpower to grow sweet potatoes in the moon, and those soldiers have to help the people farm the land. Where do you think you have seen soldiers like ours in Lan County who are capable of both civil and military skills?"

"That's right. Otherwise, since the wages are so high and the benefits are so good, we have to select good candidates! In the past, the Zhou Dynasty asked us to recruit soldiers, but now it's better. We are the ones asking to be soldiers, so Tell me, our city lord is a man who does great things!"

"Why do you think the city lord has recruited so many people? There are seven or eight thousand soldiers. They should be more than enough to fight the bandits outside."

"How can we guess what the city lord is thinking?"

"Hey, hey, stop arguing, there are several more. The second one..." The man seemed to be a beginner in Pinyin, and he stuttered while following the pinyin above, "Members of the Xu family's political affairs team are not allowed to be called miss. , lord, etc., do not address each other by words, but directly address them by name and position. If there is no position, always call comrade so-and-so."

"Comrade?"

"Oh, if we have the same mind, we have the same virtues, and if we have the same virtues, we are comrades! It means that we are all on the same path, which means we are cordial!"

"This is so strange, I can't say it out loud. Just say Ming Xiaoshuang, it would be great to call him Xiaoshuang Ye! It seems affectionate and respectful!"

"Alas, the city lord criticized Mr. Xiaoshuang just last time... Ah, Comrade Xiaoshuang, he said that the title "ye" seems to enslave us common people. The city lord also said that the people in the Xu family team are equal to us. We common people don’t need to deliberately elevate them... Well, tell me what the city lord is thinking about this day?"

The man was scolding, but there was a bit of pride on his face, "Tell me, tell me, have any of you ever seen a high official who didn't allow us to kneel down or call us "Master" or "Mrs."? Not to mention high officials. The little soldier guarding the city wants to treat us like dogs and make us bark twice!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Our city lord is naturally a kind person!"

This statement immediately caused everyone to nod in agreement, "Hey, hey, and, ah, here's a warm reminder. The first national medical industry technical exchange and development conference will be held in our Lan County. There will be many doctors there. Come here, if you want to do some business, you must make arrangements in advance. Yo!"

The man exclaimed, immediately attracting the attention of others, "What's going on? What's going on?"

"Hey, it says here that the standardized breeding plant is open to the public for one day, and visitors are allowed! Yeah, it's the day after tomorrow!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone forgot about the medical conference. Also, the medical thing seemed too far away from them, and pig raising was closer to their lives, so everyone started to talk about it. There was a discussion about standardized breeding in Lan County.

The man who had just entered the city saw everyone's excitement and was afraid of missing something good. He quickly grabbed the young man nearest him and said, "Brother, I haven't been to the city for a long time. What is this standardized breeding!"

"Hey, when the city lord first came to the city, didn't he buy all the piglets in the city and said he wanted to set up a factory to raise them all in one place?" The young man said happily, as if he wanted to break them apart and mash them up. He said, "It is said that the pig can be raised to one or two hundred pounds in half a year!"

"Oops, you forgot to mention the most important point!" The people around him hurriedly added, "The city lord said that the pigs raised in a standardized way have no smell at all, only the smell of meat!"

"What, a slutty pig? Real or fake?"

"Hey, hey, to be more precise, you've never seen a pig that grows quickly and doesn't show off, have you?" The young man laughed. Although he hadn't seen the pig, he was already complacent, "That pig in our Lan County grew up in one day." Same thing, I see some of the elder brothers haven’t been to the city for a long time, right?”

The men nodded quickly, "Oh, we ran to seek refuge after the flood last year, and we just came back! Not to mention, when we first entered Lan County, we almost didn't dare to enter. We thought this place was a fairyland -"

The people around him laughed.
