Chapter 279 Promulgation of Decree
After lunch, Xiao Ayu got on Wang Dalang's donkey cart. The car was loaded with Xiao Ayu's clothes, Xiaolongbao, small steamed buns prepared by the family, and small gifts for the villagers.
is basically something from Baozipu.
In the carriage of the donkey cart sat Mrs. Wang, Xiao Ayu, and the dumplings who took care of Xiao Ayu.
The little sheep had a spirit-testing rat on its head and sat outside, beside Wang Dalang.
Xiao Ayu has not returned to the village for a while, she found that the way back to the village is not so trembling.
As soon as she was curious, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that the road was wide, there were not many large stones on the road, and the soil on the ground was compacted and flat.
Little Ayu asked, "Big brother, has anyone repaired the road?"
She still remembered that when she and Nanny used to build a donkey cart together, the whole car would be very bumpy.
"Yes, the villagers came to repair it. This year, the villagers made money and directly used their own money to replace the corvée, so when the big guy was free, he helped to repair the land in the village."
Several people from Wang Chuanfu have also participated. The whole year is full of busy farming and it only takes four months, two months for planting, two months for harvest, and other times, it is to open up wasteland or do other things. Generally speaking, it is idle.
Idle is also idle, it is better to do something good.
Little Ayu nodded: "Oh."
The people in the village are so diligent.
Only the eyes of the dumplings rolled. In this way, Ayu and his village were quite wealthy.
And she should be a good person. She followed her two previous uncles to travel to many places, and she had never seen a road built by herself like this.
They are all waiting for the county magistrate to issue an order to let everyone participate in corvée, or the wealthy gentry and wealthy households in the village, for their own convenience, will pay for others to repair.
If their village is good, then find someone in their village to marry and live in this village from now on.
Don't look at the dumplings, they are only ten years old, but their minds have long been different from others, so they think so far.
They were halfway along when someone from the Wang family in the town came, but it was sent by the magistrate in the county seat.
That person was Zhang Zhan's servant, who specially gave the Wang family a gift of thanks, thanking them for taking in Daniu and Guanchao before.
After Zhang Zhan took over as county magistrate, he was very aggressive. First, he purged the entire county magistrate and government offices, and took advantage of this opportunity to remove all those who were messing around and oppressing the people.
Even Cao Xianwei was not spared. Zhang Zhan thought that Cao Xianwei was a very upright person, but this investigation of the former magistrate found that Cao Xianwei was not completely innocent, he was just bad and not so thorough. .
Zhang Zhan reported the guilt of Cao County Lieutenant and demoted him to a position, from the eighth-rank county Wei to the ninth-rank master clerk.
The responsibility for the punishment and judgment case originally in charge was also handed over to the new county Wei, and the Cao family, who was behind the protection of the Cao county captain, was also implicated.
The content of the evidence provided by Daniu and others was verified to be true, and they dug up the backhand left by the original county magistrate.
Actually, tens of thousands of taels of silver were seized, and all of them were used as county warehouses. Originally, they were poor and white, and they even asked Zhang Zhan to post some of the government offices.
After Zhang Zhan took office, the first decree he issued was brought from Wanning City.
"From now on, the non-matchmaking system will be abolished, and everyone can freely marry, die, and marry, and can find a witness, a master of marriage, or the county seat to witness the marriage on their behalf."
The mountain of matchmakers that used to be on top of people's heads collapsed suddenly.
As soon as this decree came out, some families were happy and some were sad.
