Silver Overlord - Chapter 848

[Chapter 815 Selection of magistrates (2)]

When it was time to start drawing circles with charcoal, all the village sages in Jia’an County realized that they were sitting three feet away from the people on both sides. It’s so wide, and now I understand it all at once. The reason why I sit so wide is that when I draw a circle, it is not easy for the people next to me to see it. This is also a small confidentiality measure, which is very considerate.

As for the few who didn’t know how to read, they had just heard Shi Changfeng’s words and knew the order of the names of the three people on the Xiangxian ticket, so they couldn’t make a mistake.

Half an hour later, it will soon arrive, and everyone has drawn circles on the tickets.

“Okay, you can put the tickets of the Xiangxian in your hands together, and everyone will take turns putting the tickets in this box later!” Shi Changfeng said, and motioned for the attendant beside him to open the box and hold it up. , let everyone take a look at the empty box, without any manipulation, and then put the box down, “This first ticket, let’s start with Wang Shao, and then everyone lined up and voted in order…”

Wang Shao listened .

When he arrived, he didn’t say much, just stood up from his seat, nodded to Shi Changfeng, then walked to the ballot box, and put the folded vote into the box.

After Wang Shao, there was Su Youlun, and then there was Xiangxian sitting in the first row. Everyone lined up and took turns to go up.

Then, the votes were counted in public. Shi Changfeng opened the box, took out a piece of the Xiangxian ticket, looked at the circles drawn on it, and read aloud, “Su Youlun, one vote…”, After he finished speaking, he also opened the ticket, so that everyone around could see that the circle drawn on the ticket was to circle Su Youlun’s name.

As Shi Changfeng finished his words, an attendant standing behind him drew a line with charcoal on a wooden board behind Su Youlun’s name…

“Shao Yuanjie, one vote…”

“Shao Yuanjie , one vote…”

“Wang shakes one vote…”

“Su Youlun, one vote…”

“Wang Shao, one vote…” “Wang Shao, one vote…

” ”

Two circles are drawn on this ticket, and two people have been chosen, which is regarded as abstention and does not count in the Inside…”

…

As Shi Changfeng took out the Zhang Xiangxian ticket, sang the ticket,

and displayed it, the tickets in the ticket box were rapidly decreasing one by one, and the “” after the names of the three people on the board The word “positive” is gradually increasing. In the first fifty votes, the gap between the three was not too obvious. It was not clear who would die in the end. The three people who participated in this selection were very nervous. Hearing Shi Changfeng singing the votes, he held his breath unconsciously…

But after fifty votes, the number of votes for Wang Shao gradually increased. When Shi Changfeng read his name, the fat on his face almost trembled.

As Shi Changfeng took out the last ticket in the ballot box and read out “Wang Shao, one ticket…”, Wang Shao’s face turned red, while Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun next to him were long He let out a sigh of relief, one turned pale, and the other shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Finally, looking at the positive characters on the blackboard with the names of the three people on it, you can count the number of votes. Wang Dou has the most “positive” characters after his name, more than eight, three more than Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun. Come on, the outcome is clear at a glance…

“This time, there were 100 votes for Xiangxian in Jia’an County, and two of them had the right to renounce. The actual number of votes was 98. Among them, Wang Wei won 43 votes, Shao Yuanjie won 28 votes, and Su Youlun won the vote. 27 pieces, after the townspeople voted, the squire king of Jia’an County got the most votes, that is, the next county magistrate of Jia’an County!” Shi Changfeng’s face finally showed a smile, he turned his head and saw that he had stood up, excited Wang Shao, whose face was flushed, said, “Sir Wang, congratulations, after I report the results of this time to the Governor, the official appointment letter from the Governor’s Office will come down within two days, and Mr. Wang will become a county in the future. Seniors, don’t disappoint the sages who voted for you today!”

Hearing Shi Changfeng calling himself “Sir”, Wang Shao felt like he was stepping on cotton, and he could hardly stand up, “Sir Shi, don’t worry, I know, I know, today’s selection is over, I’m welcoming Xianlou has ordered a banquet, and I hope that Lord Shi will reward you…”

“I have to rush back to Pingxi City today and report the results of today’s selection of Jia’an County magistrates to the Governor, so I won’t bother you anymore. When you get together, don’t forget what you said here today, don’t let the oath come true, the most hated thing for the supervisor is that officials corrupt and oppress the people. Entering the prison, it will involve the destruction of the whole family, so don’t say anything!”

Wang Shao, who was excited, heard what Shi Changfeng said behind, and then looked at Shi Changfeng’s clear and deep eyes, the whole person was agile, Zi regained consciousness and quickly clasped his fists at Shi Changfeng, “Thank you Master Shi for reminding me, Master Shi, don’t worry, I will never let Master Supervisor down, but if I embezzle a penny from the public and oppress the people recklessly, it will be for our royal family. My ancestors and ancestors slandered me, I don’t need to let the Lord Protector send someone to take it, just let God strike me to death…”

Shi Changfeng nodded, “It’s the best if Lord Wang thinks so!”, After saying these words to Wang Shao, Shi Changfeng looked at the village sages present, and said solemnly, “As village sages, today’s vote is cast on behalf of the people who recommended you. The position is not only an honor, but also a responsibility, and it is also the ardent hope of the superintendent. This county magistrate is selected by you, and you have the responsibility of supervision. The position of the village sage, according to the intention of the superintendent, will be four years in the future. Election once, if the county magistrate you have elected is incompetent, or if he acts backwards and makes the people complain, and if more than two-thirds of you, that is, sixty-six village sages, jointly sign a letter, the Governor’s Office can be activated. Impeachment, hold him accountable…”

Shi Changfeng’s words made everyone in the lobby stunned, especially those village sages. Those people originally thought that this time the village sage was elected as a lifetime honor, or that there was no such thing after the county magistrate was selected this time. What’s the use, and listening to Shi Changfeng’s meaning, it seems that the guardian of the Lord intends to form the title of Xiangxian into a grass-roots system. In this way, the power of the Xiangxian seems to be greater, and the county magistrate can choose and impeach, This is an amazing thing, and the townspeople will be completely elected by the local people in the future, which means that the local people can indirectly decide the candidate of a county magistrate…

Limited by knowledge, there are a few people in this hall. Everyone vaguely feels that today’s affairs seem to be very difficult, but no one can see through it. The superintendent who arranges all this is only unfathomable and even more awe-inspiring.

“Our county magistrate has been elected, and it’s Mr. Wang Shao…” As the news from the martial arts hall spread outside, the people in Jia’an county who were watching the lively outside the martial arts hall finally boiled over

.

The servants arranged by the Wang family outside the martial arts hall suddenly began to play gongs and drums, and began to make noise…

“Who knows how this county magistrate was elected, how to choose, someone who knows about it, please tell me…” More People who watch more lively are more interested in the process of selecting magistrates.

“I heard that one person, one vote, is elected by Xiangxian. That vote is called Xiangxian’s vote, and the names of three people are printed on it. If you want someone to be the county magistrate, you can circle his name. Whoever the one hundred township sages voted for is the county magistrate…”

“Listen to you, if I were the township sage, I could vote to decide who should be the magistrate just now…”

“Of course!”

“This township Xian didn’t expect to be so majestic…”

As the selection process of county magistrates in the martial arts hall saw the light, there was a louder noise outside the martial arts hall. For the people who were watching, they knew that The process of selecting the county magistrate made them feel very fresh. They didn’t expect that the magistrate could still be selected in this way, and they didn’t expect that the town sages who were elected by them before had such great power all of a sudden…

…

And in a restaurant not far from the National Art Museum, Hua Ruxue and the old man were sitting at the window of the box facing the street, watching the bustling scene on the street outside the National Art Museum, listening to the crowd of people talking, His eyes twinkled with brilliance.

“Officials are on the top, Yang, and people are on the bottom, Yin. Since ancient times, officials have come out of the top, and the top will dominate the bottom. The extremes of things will be reversed, and the bottom will overcome the top. This is the principle of the change of reincarnation in the past dynasties. Due to the mutual restraint of punishment, if officials can go out from the lower, then the yin and yang will be born, then the lower people will no longer be bullied, and the upper officials will no longer be fearful. In this way, the harmony of yin and yang will complement each other, harmonious and harmonious, and peace in the world can be expected. The kingdom of heaven…” The old man sighed and looked at Hua Ruxue, “I didn’t expect that the dream of the Holy Master would be realized for the first time in Jia’an County. According to the last words of the Holy Master, who in the world can do it? Those who are involved in this matter, even if they are not members of my White Lotus Sect, they can still be the masters of my White Lotus Sect, and all the people of the White Lotus Sect all over the world will respect…”
