Silver Overlord - Chapter 847

[Chapter 814 Selection of Magistrates (1)]

In the lobby of Jia’an County Martial Arts Hall, there is a solemn atmosphere. Shi Changfeng and several supervisory officials from the Governor’s House are sitting on the main seat of the lobby. Next to Shi Changfeng, some officials from Jia’an County are seated. This time, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shao, and Su Youlun, who were selected by the county magistrate, were sitting on the other side, facing Shi Changfeng and the others. There were one hundred village sages in Jia’an County. In the middle of the hundred village sages in An County, there is a large box, and behind Shi Changfeng, there are three people standing, each with a porcelain bowl on the table in front of them. for what.

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

Shao Yuanjie, the chief judge of Jia’an County’s arresting yamen, was sitting next to him in an official uniform. Although there was not much expression on his face, his hand on his knee unknowingly clenched into a fist, and his fist was full of sweat.

The squire king was a little fat, and he didn’t know if the weather outside was too hot or because of his body shape. Sitting next to him, he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel.

Although Su Youlun’s face was a little calm, at this time, he couldn’t help pinching his tiger’s mouth with his hand to calm himself down.

The three of them are not people who have never seen the world on weekdays, but this selection of magistrates is something that has never happened in the Han Empire. It is the first time for the three of them to experience it, and they are also parties, so it is inevitable that they are a little nervous.

Shi Changfeng looked at the 100 sages from Jia’an County who had arrived. After asking the people around him to call and confirm the list of sages twice, he finally opened his mouth. The unprecedented three people selected by the county magistrate, “The list and personnel of the 100 village sages in Jia’an County have just been confirmed in public. Do the three have any objection to this list and personnel?”

“No objection!”

“No objection!”

“No objection!” All

three said.

“Okay, since the three have no objection, and now the time is up, then, let’s officially start!” Shi Changfeng cleared his throat, stood up straight, and looked at the people in the lobby and said loudly, “I am under supervision. Entrusted by Lord Hu, I came to Jia’an County today to supervise the selection of Jia’an County magistrates. The list of 100 township sages has just been confirmed. Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shao, and Su Youlun have no objection to the number and list of township sages. Next, I will talk about the method and process for the selection of county magistrates by the sages this time!”

“After a while, all the sages will be assigned a ticket for the sages, which has Shao Yuanjie printed on it, Wang Shao and others. The names of the three of Su Youlun, do you think who of the three of them is more suitable to serve as the magistrate of Jia’an County, and whoever you like, you can circle his name with a pen

. There can only be one person, so you can only circle the name of one person. If you circle more, or do not circle, and if the correction is unclear, it will be regarded as abstention, and the vote will be invalid, and you cannot vote a second time. After the election, you will take turns to cast your votes into the box in front of me, and then open the box and count the votes in public. The person with the most votes today will be the magistrate of Jia’an County, with a term of four years, do you understand?”

This voter Although the method is new, the rules are simple and clear. People who can be selected as Xiangxian will naturally have no problem with their IQ. Therefore, when Shi Changfeng said this, everyone basically understood.

“Sir, you said that the term of the county magistrate selected this time is only four years. After the four-year term expires, the person selected today will no longer serve as the magistrate?” Immediately, a village sage stood up and asked.

“If the person selected today will continue to serve as county magistrate after four years, then it depends on the meaning of the governor. The governor may let him continue to serve, or he may be dismissed, or he may be promoted. It is possible, of course, The biggest possibility may be to let the village sages vote again for selection. If it is the latter, if the village sages are willing to continue to choose him, then he can continue to serve!”

“Clear, clear!”

“Yes, this is true !

The way is simple!”

Shi Changfeng turned his head to look at Wang Shao and Su Youlun, “Although you two are candidates for the selection of magistrates today, you are also the sages of this Jia’an County, so you will each have a piece of the sage of the county later. You can vote for yourself or for others!”

Wang Shao 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 the three of them get the same number of votes in the end, and both outnumber the other one. People, how does that count?” Among the sages below, an old man in his 70s or 80s stood up and asked.

“Well, the question you asked has been taken into consideration by the Guardian. If this happens, then it is God’s will. Let the two people with the same votes cast lots in public to determine the winner. In the words of the Guardian, Personal luck is God’s will, so it depends on everyone’s luck!”

“Sir, I can’t read, how do I choose…” Another person stood up.

“Illiterate people can raise their hands later, and I’ll tell everyone who the name is on the ticket!

” Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shao, and Su Youlun, “Okay, then before the official vote, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shao, and Su Youlun can say a few more words to all the sages!”

Shao Yuanjie stood up first. He clenched his fists to the crowd and said in a deep voice, “My fellow sages, I have served as a public official in Jia’an County for more than 20 years. I can run rampant in the township, if I become the magistrate of Jia’an County, I will definitely live up to the trust of all the townspeople and continue to work hard, so that the people in the county can live and work in peace and contentment!”

After Shao Yuanjie finished speaking, he sat down, and Wang Jiu stood up tremblingly, wiped off his sweat first, and then said loudly, “All the sages of my Wang family know how, my family’s silver taels can’t be eaten in ten lifetimes, it’s just that No one in my royal family has ever been a magistrate as big as a county magistrate, so I will try it out this time to see if I can honor my ancestors. If I can become the magistrate of Jia’an County, I will say two points. Don’t be greedy for a penny of the public’s money. If I am greedy, I will make my king and the descendants of the king’s family die. Second, if I become the county magistrate, in the past four years, the people in the county will never pay taxes, corvée, and servitude. Increase, and I also want to find a way to repair the road from our county to Pingxi City!”

Wang Shao sat down, Su Youlun stood up, and said neatly, “If we want to go further in Jia’an County in the future. The better you come here, lies in the word talent. As long as the children in the county are successful, our Jia’an County will definitely not be worse. If you choose me to be the county magistrate, I will definitely make our Jia’an County every year in the future. There are more and more children who can enter the martial arts hall and the archery club!”

“The three have said everything they want to say, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com The rest, let the village sages decide for themselves, let’s talk about it. The votes for the sages will be distributed. After the sages get the tickets, don’t walk around and make noise. Just circle the name of the person you want to select from your own position. You have half an hour. You can make a decision!”

After Shi Changfeng finished speaking, he glanced at the person beside him, clicked, and then his entourage sent the prepared “ballots” down.

The “ballot” is the size of a palm, two pages, printed on kraft paper, and can be folded. The outside of the “ballot” is printed with the words “Vote of the Townspeople”. After opening, you can see the names of three people. Inside, along with the “vote ballot”, it was not ink and ink, but a small piece of charcoal core, which was just enough for all the sages to circle the names on the “vote ballot” easily.

“Let me tell you, now that all of you have received the votes of the sages, the arrangement of the three names printed on the votes is based on the number of strokes of the three names. The names with fewer strokes are ranked first, with more strokes. Yes, in the back, the first is Wang Shao, the second is Shao Yuanjie, and the third is Su Youlun, whoever you want to be the county magistrate should use the name The charcoal pen is…”
