"This is how the selection process of county magistrates in Jia'an County was smooth, and nothing happened in the middle. But what surprised me was that in the end, the local geniuses in Jia'an County actually voted the most, so Wang Dou became the county magistrate..."

After working hard to select the county magistrates of Jia'an County, Shi Changfeng and his group returned to Pingxi City. It was already late. However, Yan Liqiang was still in the supervision office to handle official duties and meet officials. Therefore, Shi Changfeng directly asked Yan Liqiang to report on the process of selecting the county magistrates in Jia'an County during the day.

Neither of them had had supper, so Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng were eating and chatting in the back garden of the Supervisor's Mansion.

Yan Liqiang poured a glass of wine for Shi Changfeng, and then asked with a smile, "Do you think that a group of local geniuses in Jia'an County will choose Su Youlun in the end?"

"How does the Supervisor know?" Shi Changfeng looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise.

"You have known Su Youlun before, have had contact with you, and have personal relationships. If you think others are not bad, you naturally hope he wins!"

"Did Lord Supervisor guess that the winner of Jia'an County was Wang Dou?"

"I guessed it in advance that the Wang family is a large family in Jia'an County. The family is rich. As a local gentry, Wang Dou used to build bridges and pave roads to help the widows. He had a good reputation. Wang Dou was also smart. He knew that the most people in the local people hated was corruption of officials. If the officials were greedy, the people would lose one cent. Every cent that officials greedy, the officials were actually scraped away from the people in the end. So you see, before the local genius voted, he sweared that this was what he was talking about. He asked for fame, not wealth. With the confidence of the Wang family, he was indeed qualified to say this. Those local geniuses had no stupid people. They all knew that as long as the position of county magistrate was not greedy, even if they were a little incompetent, they would only follow the rules, and in fact, there were no big impact. Those who could let the people in the county live a stable life were good officials, and naturally there were more people who voted for him. On this point, Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun were both a little different from Wang Dou... "

"So that's it!" Shi Changfeng shook his head and smiled, clinked glasses with Yan Liqiang, and took a sip of wine. "There is another thing. This time I went to Jia'an County to learn that there were actually some problems in the recommendation of the local genius in Jia'an County. Some local geniuses, that is, local pavilion chiefs, Jia'an County, have not been recommended by the people. The rights of the local genius in Jia'an County have increased greatly in the next four years, and these people have picked up a bargain..."

"It is normal for people to get cheap at the beginning, because at the beginning, the people in Jia'an County did not know that the title of the local sage could affect the selection of county magistrates, and there were not many people who value it. After the selection of county magistrates in the four counties, the people in Pingxi County would know that the title of the local sage is not false, but real power, and can select and supervise county magistrates. If local sages are elected again, the people will be concerned about fighting and will not be fooled by a few people at will. At that time, we set the rules to give local people the recommendation of the local sages, and everything will come naturally. After the rules are set, there will definitely be fraud at the beginning. Let's arrest a few, kill a few, and support the people a few times, and no one dares to be clever..."

After hearing what Yan Liqiang said, Shi Changfeng suddenly understood. It turned out that Yan Liqiang had already known that some of the local geniuses elected in the four counties this time were problematic and not very standardized. However, Yan Liqiang didn't care, because this election was to throw bricks and attract jade. Yan Liqiang's purpose was to let the people in the county know the importance of the position of local genius and let everyone pay attention to it. At the same time, he also knew that the county magistrate could do this.

"Do you have to fully promote the selection of county magistrates in Qiyun County in the future?"

Yan Liqiang shook his head, "This is not urgent. Let's take a look first. Even if the four counties are piloted, see what problems are there in this way. Summarize the experience. If the effect is indeed good, you can consider and promote it later. Now the system of the Han Empire has been passed down for many years. Many people have become accustomed to it. It is not realistic to completely deny the change of rules at once. Maybe there will be big trouble. We can take small steps and take it slowly. After the selection of county magistrates in the four counties is over, I plan to make some reform measures in the four counties. At that time, I'm afraid you will have to trouble you, Mr. Shi..."

When he heard Yan Liqiang say this familiar name from Teacher Shi again, Shi Changfeng smiled, "Liqiang, what else are you going to do?"

"What I am going to do is also related to the local genius!"

"It has something to do with the local genius. Do you think the local genius in the four counties are not powerful enough now?"

Yan Liqiang did not answer directly, but shook his head and asked, "The Great Han Law of the Han Empire has 32 volumes, including one volume of famous examples, two volumes of official laws, seven volumes of household laws, two volumes of ritual laws, five volumes of military laws, twelve volumes of criminal laws, three volumes of craftsman laws, only one volume of famous laws, five punitive and slaughter, punitive, death, ten evils, treason, planning for great rebellion, planning for rebellion, evil rebellion, immorality, great disrespect, unfilial, disgrace, unrighteous, civil strife, eight discussions, discussing relatives, discussing for the reason, discussing for merit, discussing for the wise, discussing for ability, discussing for diligence, discussing for the noble, discussing for the guests, the content is detailed and complete, this "The Great Han Law" can almost be

It is said to be perfect and perfect without any omissions. The "Da Han Law" not only takes the essence of the laws of the previous dynasty, but also has been compiled by countless capable and wise men of this dynasty. Looking at the White Silver Continent, there are only a handful of races with such complete laws. The protection of the people of the world in the "Da Han Law" is not unreasonable, and the punishment for those who commit crimes and corrupt law is not unharmed. Since the Han Empire has the "Da Han Law", why are there still countless people who want to rebel and join the White Lotus Sect? If there is a slight change in the world, why do people from all over the world flock to rise up? No one believes in any law anymore?"

Shi Changfeng put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned, and pondered for a moment, "The reason is that although the "Da Han Law" is good, it is too difficult to enforce the law impartially below, making it difficult to resolve the wrongs of the people at the bottom, and it is difficult to make it difficult to make the people at the bottom. If they have deep resentment, they will naturally have to use violence to fight violence..."

"Yes, that's right. If the "Law of the Han Dynasty" of the Great Han Empire can be implemented, local governments can handle cases and enforce the law impartially, so that good can be protected, evil can be punished, weak can be supported, and strong can be afraid of them, and they can be able to defend the bottom line of justice in people's minds. In this world, there will be so many wealthy officials who are arrogant, extravagant, lewd, domineering, domineering, and domineering, and domineering, and there will be so many people who are deeply resentful and want to kill officials and rebel to change the world. How could this White Lotus Sect respond to the response and cause such a big wave in the Great Han Empire? After all, most of the reasons for the Great Han Empire today are in the implementation of the law!"

"But what does this have to do with the local genius?" Shi Changfeng didn't understand it at once.

"Of course it has something to do, and it's very much. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this world, the 99% of the lawsuits encountered in their lifetime can be resolved within one county. In the past, as long as there were one or two corruption and abused county magistrates in this county, the whole county would be in chaos. All laws are empty words, and any case can be decided by them in one sentence. Once the people enter the government office, they are like fish on the chopping board, and there is no room for struggle and maneuver. I plan to implement the jury system in the four counties in the future. All lawsuits in the four counties must be attended by seven local sages, and the chief official's case determination

If the final result of the trial cannot be obtained from the consent of more than four out of the seven local sages, it will be invalid. One hundred local sages in each county will take turns to draw lots to participate in the trial of lawsuits within a county, and cannot be booked in advance. After the case is heard, the case files, the decision of the trial chief, and the opinions of the local sages will be announced on the list, so that the people can see that although this method cannot completely eliminate corruption and abuse of power, it can eliminate and reduce the harm caused by corruption and abuse of power to the greatest extent, increase the cost of corruption and abuse of power, minimize the number of unfair trial lawsuits, and allow the people's hearts and opinions to truly reflect..."

Shi Changfeng was stunned. He never expected Yan Liqiang to think of such a method in his head. But if he thought about it carefully, this method is indeed a hundred times stronger than the current system of the Han Empire. If it could be promoted, it might be possible to protect the good, punish the evil, rely on the weak, and fear the strong, and no longer let one or two corrupt officials completely destroy the rule of law in a county and the people's trust in the court officials...
