Chapter 824

In the lobby of jia'an county's National Art Museum, there is a solemn atmosphere. Shi Changfeng and several supervisory officials of the Imperial Palace sit on the main seat of the lobby. Next to Shi Changfeng, some officials of jia'an County sit. Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shuan and Su Youlun, who participated in the selection of county magistrate, sit on the other side. Facing Shi Changfeng, they are sitting with 100 local sages in jia'an county, Between Shi Changfeng and a hundred sages in jia'an County, there was a big box. Behind Shi Changfeng, there were three people standing. On the table in front of them, there was a porcelain bowl. I didn't know what it was for.

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

Shao Yuanjie, the chief judge of the criminal arrest Yamen in jia'an County, sat beside him in his official clothes. Although there was not much expression on his face, his hand on his knee was unknowingly squeezed into a fist, which was full of sweat.

Squire Wang Shuo was a little fat, and he didn't know whether it was too hot outside or the reason for his size. Sitting next to him, he kept wiping sweat on his forehead with a towel.

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

On weekdays, the three people are not people who have never seen the world, but the selection of county magistrate is something never happened in the Han Empire. The first experience of the three people is also the parties, so it is inevitable that they are a little nervous.

Shi Changfeng looked at the 100 villagers who had arrived in jia'an county. After asking the people around him to name and confirm that the list of villagers was correct twice, he finally opened his mouth. He turned and looked at the three people sitting together to participate in the unprecedented selection of county magistrate. "They have just confirmed the list and personnel of 100 villagers in jia'an County in public. Do the three have any objection to the list and personnel?"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

All three spoke.

"Well, since the three have no objection, it's time now, so let's officially start!" Shi Changfeng cleared his throat, stood up directly, looked at the people in the lobby and said in a loud voice, "I am entrusted by the supervisor to come to jia'an County today to fully supervise the selection of jia'an county magistrate. The list of just 100 Township sages has been confirmed. Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shuan and Su Youlun have no objection to the number and list of township sages. Next, Let me talk about the method and process of selecting county magistrates by your Township sages this time! "

"Later, all the villagers will be given a villagers' ticket. The names of Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shuan and Su Youlun are already printed on the ticket. You can circle his name with a pen if you think the three of them are more suitable to serve as the county magistrate of jia'an county. One villagers' ticket can only have one county magistrate, Therefore, you can only circle one person's name. If you circle more or don't circle, and if you can't change it clearly, it will be regarded as abstention. Its vote is invalid and you can't vote for the second time. After you choose it, you take turns to vote in the box in front of me, and then open the box in public to count the votes. If you have more votes today, you will be a county magistrate of jia'an county. Your term of office is four years. Are you clear? "

Although the method of voting is new, the rules are simple and clear. People who can be elected as Township sages will naturally have no problem with their IQ. Therefore, everyone basically understands Shi Changfeng's statement.

"Sir, you said that the term of office of the county magistrate selected this time is only four years. After the expiration of those four years, the person selected today will no longer serve as the county magistrate?" Immediately, a villager stood up and asked.

"Whether the person elected today will continue to serve as a county magistrate four years later depends on the intention of the governor. The governor may let him continue to serve, recall or promote. Of course, the greatest possibility is that he may let the villagers vote again. If it is the latter, the villagers are willing to continue to choose him, Then he can continue to serve! "

"Clear, clear!"

"Yes, it's easy!"

Shi Changfeng turned to look at Wang Shuan and Su Youlun. "Although you two are the candidates for the selection of county magistrate today, you are also the villagers of jia'an County, so later you also have a vote for villagers. You can vote for yourself or others!"

Wang Shuan and Su Youlun nodded.

Shi Changfeng looked around the lobby for a week and asked, "well, do you have any questions?"

"My Lord, I have a question. What if two of the three of them get the same number of votes and both of them exceed the other?" Among the villagers below, an old man in his 70s and 80s stood up and asked.

"Well, the supervisor has considered the question you asked. If this situation really happens, then it is the will of God. Let two people with the same number of votes draw lots in public to determine the victory or defeat. In the words of the supervisor, personal luck is the will of God. It depends on everyone's good luck!"

"My Lord, I can't read. How can I choose..." another man stood up.

"Those who can't read can raise their hands later. I'll tell you who the name on the ticket is!"

When they heard this, they had nothing to say. Seeing that they had no more problems, Shi Changfeng looked at Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shuan and Su Youlun, "well, before the formal vote, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Shuan and Su Youlun, you can say two more words to the villagers!"

Shao Yuanjie was the first to stand up, hugged the people, and said in a deep voice, "fellow villagers, I Shao has been in public office in jia'an County for more than 20 years. I ask myself that I have been conscientious and conscientious. I have never had a grievance case under my hand. Public security in the county is good. No bully can run rampant in the village. If I were the magistrate of jia'an County, I would not live up to the trust of fellow villagers, Continue to work hard so that the people in the county can live and work in peace and contentment! " Shao Yuanjie sat down. Wang trembled and stood up, wiped a sweat, and then said loudly, "all the sages know how my Wang family comes from. I can't eat two silver coins in my family for ten years, but no one in my Wang family has ever been such a big official as a county magistrate, so I'll try this time to see if I can honor my family, If I can be the county magistrate of jia'an County, I will say two things. First, I don't want a penny of public money. If I am greedy, my Wang Shuan and my Wang's children will not die easily. Second, if I become the county magistrate, the taxes and corvee of the people in the county will not increase in the past four years, and I have to find a way to repair the road from our county to Pingxi city! " When Wang Shuan sat down, Su Youlun stood up and said neatly, "if we want Jiaan county to be better and better in the future, it depends on the word talent. As long as the children in the county are successful and promising, our Jiaan county will definitely not be worse. If the villagers choose me as the county magistrate, I'm sure that more and more children in jia'an county will enter the Chinese Martial Arts Museum and gongdao society every year in the future! "“ The three have said what they want to say. Let the villagers consider the rest. Let's issue the villagers' tickets. After you get the tickets, don't walk around and make a noise. Just circle the name of the person you want to select in your position. The villagers have half an hour to make a decision! " Shi Changfeng said, glanced at the people around him, nodded, and then his entourage handed out the prepared "votes"“ The "ballot" is as big as a palm of a hand. It is two pages. It is printed on kraft paper and can be opened opposite. On the outside of the "ballot", there are four words "villagers' vote". After opening it, you can see the names of three people inside. With the "ballot", it is not ink, but a small cut carbon core, Just so that you can easily circle the names on the "vote"“ Let me tell you something. Now that you have got the tickets for the villagers' sages, the arrangement of the three names printed on the tickets is based on the number of strokes of the three names. The names have very few strokes and rank first, while the names have many strokes. Wang Shuan ranks first, Shao Yuanjie ranks second, and Su Youlun ranks third.
