Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The wave of righteousness stopped.

Gao Zhuo didn't speak for a while, and sat down in the courtyard.

"My lord, the magistrate may have been lucky, maybe..."

"Righteousness is so turbulent, how can there be any chance of luck?" Gao Zhuo interrupted him, "Go back to duty, it's already the third day."

"My lord." The yamen servant wanted to say something more, but Gao Zhuo raised his hand to stop him.

"Then you..." the yamen servant said again.

"I will make my own decision, you go back and do your duty well, don't break the rules of the county government." Gao Zhuo said.

This yamen servant has always been Gao Zhuo's confidant, and he knows that rules are the most important thing in him, and this remark is to approve the rules of County Magistrate Tong.The yamen servant stopped persuading him, handed over his hand and resigned, and returned to the county yamen.

"My lord," the next morning, after Tong Ran arrived at the county government office, Sang Le went into his study and reported to him, "It's been the fourth day since you issued the new regulations on punishment for absenteeism. If they didn’t come on duty, do you want to fire them directly?”

"Who are there?" Tong Ran asked.

Sang Le checked his records and reported three names.

Tong Ran didn't have a deep impression of those three people, and vaguely remembered those who were not Gao Zhuo's most confidantes.

Tong Ran asked Sang Le, and Sang Le said: "My lord, I asked Third Brother Yuan, and they are not confidantes of Mr. Gao. On the contrary, they fight against Mr. Gao from time to time. generation."

This is quite interesting, Gao Zhuo said he was sick and led his yamen servants to go on strike, and then all those who followed him came back, and those who opposed him were the last ones.

"In addition... my lord, I heard the yamen servants chatting in private, and several of Mr. Gao's confidants came back to be on duty after hearing his words." Sang Le added, he also doubted Gao Zhuo's plan.The few yamen servants who came back came to report yesterday afternoon, and they started to be on duty again today. Sang Le had noticed that these people were very serious on duty, and they did not deliberately make mistakes or be lazy.

He also told Tong Ran about these phenomena.Tong Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Those who were absent from work for three days were dismissed according to the rules. Pay more attention to those who are Gao Zhuo's confidantes. Several people filled the vacancy."

"Yes." Sang Le said, turned around and went out to do something.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the stalls in Xiaoguo County were gradually fixed. In the morning, there were hot water and breakfast at the entrances of all lanes, and people from Xiatou Township picked fresh vegetables at the gates of the four cities, and there were breakfasts everywhere in the evening. It has become a midnight snack, and there are several stalls selling beer.In addition, there are many vendors selling handicrafts and various daily necessities.

When there are more people doing business, the price will naturally tend to be lower.

The things on the small stalls are generally cheaper than those in the shops, and people who are not very well-off like to buy at the stalls.In order to stabilize their turnover, the store has also launched a lot of various promotional activities, and they are more polite to customers.

Tong Ran looked through the ledger, and found that the daily booth fees added a lot of income to the county.

"Is it almost the end of the month?" Tong Ran asked.Both the 24 solar terms of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar are used here, so Tong Ran often cannot count the days.

Sang Le: "Yes, there are two more days until the end of the month."

"Go and tell those who are not on duty, and gather at the Sage Temple after off duty on the last day of this month." Tong Ran said.

Sang Le wrote it down in his little notebook, and then asked, "Why do you want to go there?"

Tong Ran smiled: "Of course, rewards are based on merit."

The new regulations on setting up stalls have been implemented for more than ten days. Although there have been some small mistakes, there have been no major disturbances.It is one thing that his plan is thoughtful, but the person who executes it is also very important. It is good that these government officials opposed him at the beginning, and he also fined their wages. Now that this matter is done well, those who should be rewarded will also be rewarded.

Tong Ran had visited the Shrine of the Sages in Xiaoguo County in advance, and on the day of the end of the month, all the clerks and servants of the county government went to the Shrine of the Sages after they were off duty.

"Do you know what the magistrate asked us to come here for?"

"It's not certain. Don't you think our county magistrate has a different mind from others? You see, the previous county magistrates couldn't do it. The county next door still uses the old law."

"Yes, my sister-in-law is married from the next county. She said that the magistrate of their county will take care of it when she thinks about it. Sometimes it will be fine for several months, and sometimes they will arrest people every day. They can't make a living even if they set up a stall. Nah!"

"Yes, yes." The man's words drew a crowd of echoes.

Those yamen servants were chatting lively, when a childish roar came, everyone was already familiar with the sound, turned around and saw that it was the county magistrate who was holding his little tiger cub.

They all know this little tiger cub in the county government. I heard that the jerky it eats is better than human food. It drinks Yipin Dahongpao on weekdays. Just a whole chicken, and even buy some small fish for it to eat.

The life of a tiger is easier than that of a human, which is really sad to hear.

Not only that, but this tiger cub has a bad temper. Except for the magistrate, he won't let anyone get close to him. If anyone dares to tease it, he will just slap his paws on that person's face.

"It's not all about scratching my face. Last time my daughter came to look for me in the yamen, and it happened that the tiger cub was basking in the sun in the courtyard. My daughter is only three years old and sees everything new. She ran over to touch it. I didn't have time to stop it." I'm so anxious. I didn't expect that although the tiger cub looked unhappy, he just wagged his tail and drove my daughter away, neither yelling at her nor scratching her face."

"That's strange. Several government officials and civil servants in our county have been arrested by him, and some of them were arrested before they even touched them."

"It's not the one who's making trouble, but that's the cub of a tiger. Can it be rubbed by you like a cat?"

Those yamen servants spoke very quietly, Tong Ran was talking to the ancestral order of the Shengxian Temple and didn't hear it, but Chu Jun, who had the hearing of a tiger, could hear it clearly.

These little officials are so courageous that they dare to talk about him in private.

"Shut up, don't talk, tiger cub is here." A yamen servant said in horror, his eyes collided with the little tiger in Tong Ran's arms just now, and the tiger seemed to be able to understand people's words. Gougou stared at them, those green eyes were really piercing.

"Hahaha, it's just a tiger cub, can it still eat you?" The other person smiled, and unconsciously cast his eyes on the little tiger. Meeting Dawson's cold gaze, his scalp felt cold, and he immediately closed his eyes. Mouth.

The ears were finally quiet, the little tiger changed into a comfortable position in Tong Ran's arms, and closed his eyes.It's time to go back and approve the memorial.

Tong Ran negotiated with the temple order of the Shengxian Temple, and the temple order invited out the spar in the temple. This spar is similar to the one Tong Ran used in Zhuoyang Mansion, which is the shape of the original crystal.Righteous Qi spar can test people's rank and show it in public.

Tong Ran asked all the clerks and government officials to line up for testing, and Sang Le recorded the results.

There is already a row of complete data in Sang Le's records. This is the level of righteousness of these people ten days ago, and it was recorded by Tong Ran after checking one by one.

In fact, now Tong Ran can also tell how much each person has grown, but firstly, it is too exhausting to investigate one by one, and secondly, it is not open and transparent enough. After a long time, it is inevitable that he will not be able to convince the public, so he thought of using the righteousness spar.

In this way, it is really quite spectacular to test one by one in front of the Shrine of the Sages. The crystals light up again and again, and Sang Le writes down everyone's righteousness level.The ranks of these yamen servants are all concentrated in the lower and middle ranks of the Huang rank, perhaps because they followed Deng Qi before, and there is not a single one of the upper rank.

After all the tests were completed, Tong Ran reported three names compared with the previous records.

When the three heard the county magistrate calling their names, they came out in fear.

Tong Ran scanned these people one by one, and one of them was just recruited this time, named Sun Chi, who was from the countryside.Tong Ran had a certain impression of him. He was a quick learner when he promoted digging wells to irrigate fields.

The other two are old servants in the county government office, and they participated in the strike at the beginning, but after returning, they were active as errands.

Because they had participated in the strike, the two old yamen servants were particularly nervous, fearing that Tong Ranqiu would settle accounts later.

"In this ten-day period, the increase in righteousness of the three is the largest among the county government." Tong Randao, "This county has always believed in clear rewards and punishments. If there is a fault, it will be punished, and if it is meritorious, it will naturally be rewarded."

The two old yamen servants were taken aback for a moment, but the new Sun Chi beamed with joy.

Tong Ran showed three small ingots of silver and said, "Each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver as a token of appreciation."

The yamen servants can get five to six taels a month, and the reward of one tael of silver really makes them excited.Those three people took the silver with both hands, still a little bit stunned, and the rest of the dozens of people cast envious eyes.

"In the future," Tong Ran said again, "the Yamen will come to the Shengxian Temple to take a test at the end of every month, and the people whose righteousness has increased in the top three will be rewarded."

"There is such a good thing?"

"It's not a loss to follow the adults!"

Those who didn't get the silver also showed eager expressions, but don't underestimate the one tael of silver, which added a full [-]% of their income. With this money, they can add something to the children, eat If you order well, you will have a lot more money on hand.

On the second day after Tong Ran took office, the concierge was dismissed. They thought that there was a hard-to-serve master, but they didn't expect him to be strict, but the rewards were very good.As long as there are enough rewards, what are you afraid of if you are strict?

After discussing meritorious deeds and rewarding in front of the sage temple, everyone in the yamen convinced Tong Ran from the bottom of their hearts.Everyone is out to make a living, so it is good to earn more. Since you can get rewards if you work hard and grow upright, why bother to think wrong ideas?What's more, their county magistrates are not easy to fool, and they might lose their jobs, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Later that day, Tong Ran gave Yuan San and Sang Le a bonus in private. Because they were close to him, they did not participate in the ranking in the Yamen, but they also worked very hard this ten days.Yuan San originally wanted to decline, but Tong Ran forcefully demanded to accept it.

In this way, these people in the county government resigned a few, fined a group, and gave rewards, and they finally sorted it out.

Tong Ran went home with the little tiger in his arms, but saw a familiar figure standing in front of his door, bending over and clasping his hands, talking to Qiu'er very politely.
