Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 297 An Alternative Civil Election
"any solution?"

Changsun Wuji and Li Ji asked in unison, even Yu Chigong and Niu Jinda stopped fighting and came over to ask.

Wang Pingan said: "Everyone is a minister of the court, so this matter may be embarrassing to you, but it is indeed very meaningful. I don't know if you want to hear it."

"Hurry up, talk nonsense, you're not a man anymore." Niu Jinda urged beside him.

Wang Ping'an didn't change his face, but he was secretly unhappy, and said coldly, "Hmph, I'll let you go to the street one by one, ha ha..."

But he didn't dare to say this, he could only think about it in his heart.

But he said in his mouth: "I declare in advance that this is not my nephew's idea, but what my teacher taught me before. It seems to be called voting, yes it is voting."

"Vote?" Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "Voting means that the court cannot make a choice on any major event, so the court will give all the people a special paper and let the people choose."

Wang Pingan told them the way to choose future generations, but he said it after summarizing his own words. He was afraid that if he said something trans-epochal, they would think he was a monster.

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Ping An, this method may cause others to cheat, and it is too late to let the people vote now."

"No, it's too late, but you need to work harder." Wang Pingan said quickly.

"How could it be too late, tell me."

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Let's just change the system a bit. You adults can go to the streets with great fanfare, promote yourself everywhere, and then ask the common people to sign their names and addresses on your notebooks. Those who can't read can ask others to represent you." Sign, but you can’t sign by yourself. My little nephew can prepare and give everyone an hour to get votes, can everyone pay?”

This new system has made everyone leak their silence, and it is a shame to go to the streets to promote themselves to canvass votes.

"Okay, the old man will go now, isn't it just to brag about himself in front of the people, who wouldn't." Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh and quickly agreed.

"Okay, Uncle Cheng is courageous. Please wait for everyone. If no one is willing, Uncle Cheng will get a quota." Wang Pingan said casually.

"How is this possible, I will go too." Niu Jinda also shouted to go.

Li Ji said with a smile: "This opportunity can be close to the people, why don't I participate, I count myself as one."

Seeing that the three generals had already agreed, Wang Pingan secretly laughed in his heart: "As long as the first person agrees, is the second, third, or even all of them still far away? Hmph..."

Sure enough, I heard Changsun Wuji say right away: "Brother Mao Gong is right, such a chance to be close to the people, why don't the old man go, I count the old man as one."

Immediately afterwards, one by one volunteered to participate, without any embarrassment at the beginning.

Wang Pingan was secretly amused by the two before and after them, and then said: "Uncles and uncles, in order to find peace, this time I worked hard, not only hard on you, but also frightened the people. Now you have the opportunity to appease the tourists and ask them for help signature."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, Wang Ping'an's reminder was too important, and those civil servants had a certain idea in their hearts. As for the generals, they also began to think about how to be close to the people.

So Wang Pingan took everyone to Zhuque Street, which is considered to be the busiest street in Chang'an, with people coming and going all day long.

Wang Pingan bought a blank notebook and a set of pens and inks for each of us, and then walked in two rows on the street.

After seeing that everything was well arranged, Wang Ping'an gave a sneaky laugh and shouted to the people: "Fathers and elders, please come and listen. Please come and listen."

Soon Wang Ping'an's voice caught everyone's attention.

"Look, that's not General Engong. He seems to have something to say, let's go and have a look." A person who has been favored by Wang Pingan said to the people around him.

"Let's go and have a look, maybe benefactor is in a hurry?" said the people around him.

"It's General Engong, let's go."

"General Engong? That's right, General Engong."

The words "General Engong" resounded in the entire Suzaku Street, and a group of people quickly gathered around Wang Ping'an.

"I have seen General Engong!!!"

All the people knelt down to Wang Ping'an and said in unison.

Wang Pingan quickly helped the people up, and said: "Fathers and elders, I am looking for you today, and I have something to ask you, look over there."

The people looked in the direction Wang Pingan pointed out, and saw more than a dozen people standing side by side. Some of them were beardless and looked like scholars, and some of them walked with a goatee, and they looked like teachers. , and some of them have extremely dark complexion, hideous faces, and fierce spirits, but most of them seem to be quite kind.

A commoner asked in confusion: "General Engong, who are they? Bad guys?"

Immediately, several black lines appeared on the foreheads of Wang Ping'an and those tycoons in the court, thinking: "Do they (we) look like bad guys?"

However, Wang Ping'an quickly clarified them and shouted: "They are not bad people, but officials of the imperial court to improve everyone's life and protect the Tang Dynasty. They have the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson, Du Ruhui and Du lord..."

Wang Pingan introduced Changsun Wuji and others to the people one by one. Every time he said a name, the people present exclaimed. They never dreamed that they could get in touch with these real high officials so close.

Changsun Wuji and the others are indeed old fritters, veterans of the rivers and lakes, who are in the court. When Wang Pingan introduced them to the common people, they also did not forget to introduce their official positions and responsibilities. The people were frightened.

Finally, Wang Pingan talked about the requirements of the election. Everyone can find an official they agree with and sign their name and address. Those who cannot read can find someone to sign for them and put their fingerprints on it.

But one person can only fill in it once, if two of the same names are found, it will be considered invalid.

"Now the clock starts."

When Wang Ping'an gave an order, Cheng Yaojin wanted to rush to the front quickly, but was pulled back by Niu Jinda, and Yu Chigong took the initiative instead.
