Chapter 814: Selection of magistrates (1)

In the lobby of the National Museum of Jia'an County, there was a solemn place. Shi Changfeng and several supervisors of the supervisory office sat on the main seat of the lobby. Next to Shi Changfeng, there were some officials from Jia'an County. Shao Yuanjie, Wang Dou and Su Youlun, who participated in the selection of county magistrates, sat on the other side. Facing Shi Changfeng and the others, were the one hundred local geniuses in Jia'an County. There was a big box between Shi Changfeng and the one hundred local geniuses in Jia'an County. Behind Shi Changfeng, there were three people standing. There was a porcelain bowl on the table in front of the three. I don't know what it was for.

Everyone was waiting nervously and curiously. At this time, the three people participating in the county magistrate selection were actually the most nervous.

Shao Yuanjie, the chief sergeant of the Jia'an County criminal arrest yamen, sat next to him wearing an official uniform. Although there was not much expression on his face, his hand on his knees unknowingly clenched into a fist, with sweat in his fist.

The gentry Wang Dou was a little fat. I don’t know if it was because the weather was too hot outside or because of his body shape. Sitting next to him, he kept wiping sweat on his forehead with a towel.

Although Su Youlun's face was a little calm, he still couldn't help but pinch his tiger's mouth with his hands to calm himself down.

The three of them are not considered to have never seen the world on weekdays, but the selection of county magistrates has never happened in the Han Empire. The first time the three of them experienced and were the parties involved, they were inevitably a little nervous.

Shi Changfeng looked at the 100 local geniuses from Jia'an County that had arrived. After asking the people around him to name and confirm the list of local geniuses twice, he finally spoke. He turned to look at the three people sitting together who participated in the unprecedented selection of county magistrates. "I have just confirmed the list and personnel of the 100 local geniuses in Jia'an County in public. Do the three have any objections to this list and personnel?"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

All three of them spoke.

"Okay, since the three of you have no objections, and the time has come, then let's officially start!" Shi Changfeng cleared his throat, stood up, and looked at the people in the lobby and spoke loudly, "I am entrusted by the lord of the supervision and guard. Today, I will come to Jia'an County to fully supervise the selection of county magistrates in Jia'an County. The list of 100 local sages has just been confirmed. Shao Yuanjie, Wang Dou and Su Youlun have no objection to the number and list of local sages. Now, I will talk about the methods and procedures for the selection of county sages by all local sages this time!"

"After a while, all the local geniuses will get a vote for the local genius. The ticket is printed with the names of Shao Yuanjie, Wang Dou and Su Youlun. Do you think who the three of them are more suitable for the position of Jia'an County Magistrate? Whoever you like can circle his name with a pen. There are only one vote for the local genius, and only one county genius can have one person, so you can only circle the name of one person, and those who draw more circles or do not draw circles, and those who cannot make clear corrections will be considered abstention. The vote is invalid and cannot be cast again. After you choose, you take turns to vote in the box in front of me, and then unbox the votes in public. Today, those with more votes will be the county magistrate of Jia'an County. The term of office is four years. Do you know?"

Although the method of voting for people is fresh, the rules are simple and clear. Those who can be elected as local sages will naturally have no problem with their IQ. So everyone basically understood what Shi Changfeng said.

"Sir, you said that the term of office of the county magistrate selected this time is only four years. After the four-year period expires, the person who is elected today will no longer serve as the county magistrate?" A local genius immediately stood up and asked.

"Whether the person who was elected today will continue to serve as the county magistrate in four years, it depends on the meaning of the Supervisor. Supervisor may let him continue to serve, or be dismissed or promoted, and of course, the greatest possibility may be that the local genius will vote again. If it is the latter, the local genius is willing to continue to choose him, then he can continue to serve!"

"It's clear, it's clear!"

"Yes, this method is simple!"

Shi Changfeng turned his head to look at Wang Dou and Su Youlun, "Although you two are the candidates for selecting county magistrates today, you are also the local geniuses in Jia'an County, so you each have a vote for a local genius in a while. You can vote for yourself or others!"

Wang Dou and Su Youlun both nodded.

Shi Changfeng looked around the lobby for a week and asked, "Well, do you have any questions?"

"Sir, I have a question. If two of them have the same final votes and exceed the other one, then how can this be calculated?" Among the local geniuses below, an old man in his seventies and eighties stood up and asked.

"Well, the question you asked has been considered. If this happens, then it is God's will. Let two people with the same number of votes draw lots in public and decide the outcome. In the words of the Lord Supervisor, personal luck is God's will, it depends on everyone's luck!"

"Sir, I can't read, how do I choose..." Another person stood up.

"If you are illiterate, you can raise your hand later. I will tell you who the name on that ticket is!"

After hearing this, everyone had nothing to say. Seeing that there was no problem with everyone, Shi Changfeng looked at Shao Yuanjie, Wang Dou, and Su Youlun, "Okay, before the official vote, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Dou, and Su Youlun, you can say a few more words to all the local sages!"

Shao Yuanjie stood up first, hugged everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Dear local geniuses, I, Shao, have been in a public office in Jia'an County for more than 20 years. I have been diligent in asking myself, and I have never had an unjust case under my command. The security in the county is quite good, and no bully can rampant in the village. If I become the county magistrate of Jia'an County, I will definitely live up to the trust of the local geniuses and continue to work diligently, so that the people in the county can live and work in peace and contentment!"

After Shao Yuanjie said that, Wang Dou stood up tremblingly, first wiped his sweat, and then said loudly, "All the local sages in my family know that my family's bank is in my ten lives. However, no one in my Wang family has ever been an official as a county magistrate, so I will try this time to see if I can honor my ancestors. If I can become the county magistrate of Jia'an County, I will say two points. First, I am not greedy for a penny of the public. If I am greedy, my Wang Dou and my Wang family will not die well. Second, if I become this county magistrate, the taxes and labor service of the people in the county will never increase. Moreover, I will find a way to repair the road leading to Pingxi City in our county!"

Wang Dou sat down, Su Youlun stood up and said frankly, "If our Jia'an County wants to get better and better in the future, it depends on the word "talent". As long as the children in the county are angry and promising, our Jia'an County will definitely not be bad anymore. If all the local geniuses choose me to be the county magistrate, I will definitely let our Jia'an County have more and more children entering the National Museum and the Gongdao Society every year in the future!"

"The three of you have said everything you want to say. Let the local geniuses consider the rest. Let's send the tickets for the local genius. After you get the ticket, don't go around and make noise. Just circle the names of the person you want to select in your own position. You local genius have half a quarter of an hour to make a decision!"

After Shi Changfeng finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him and clicked, and then his followers sent down the prepared "votes".

The "Bill" is as big as a slap. Two pages are printed on kraft paper and can be separated. The four words "Publicity of the People" are printed on the outside of the "Bill" are printed. After opening it, you can see the names of three people inside. The "Bill" is not ink brushes and ink, but a small piece of peeled charcoal core, which just allows the local sages to easily circle the names on the "Bill".

"Let me tell me, now you have obtained the tickets for local geniuses. The arrangement of the three names printed on the tickets is based on the number of strokes of the three people. There are fewer strokes of the name. There are many strokes of the name. The one with many strokes of the name is Wang Dou, the one with the second is Shao Yuanjie, and the one with the third is Su Youlun. If you want anyone who wants to be the county magistrate, you can circle whose name is charcoal..."
