Chapter 199

August is approaching, and it has been more than three months since the commander of the army entered Qiong. Although Qiongzhou has not experienced earth-shaking changes at this time, it is also refreshing. The clean land of the city before cannot be said to be, but the street where the state yamen is located is still clean, but it is also inevitable to step on horse manure and cow dung. Other places are convenient for people to vomit. The drainage ditches have not been cleaned for many years. Every time a heavy rain occurs, sewage flows, garbage floats around the water flow, and mosquitoes and flies are everywhere. If you are not careful when eating, you will eat meat.

However, the day after the General Administration entered the city, there were notices everywhere, informing all streets, yards, and merchants and residents in the city that garbage must be placed at designated locations from now on, and they are not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere. Even if mules and horses go out, they must bring feces. The puddles in front of and behind the houses must be cleaned, and there must be no water accumulation after the rain. At the same time, the General Administration dispatched troops to silt the waterways of the city, and the prefectures and county governments also assigned special personnel to clean up the garbage and supervise the households to clean up the streets in front of the door. But for many years, everyone just thought it was the government for the little prince to see, and just wanted to deal with it casually.

What everyone did not expect was that the General Mansion was taken seriously this time. The soldiers patrolling the city every day also took the responsibility of supervision. Any existing livestock that did not carry manure bags will be detained immediately, and after the order is taken, the urination and drowning will be cleaned before being allowed to be taken away. People who are now urinating are not so polite. After being caught, they will be whipped in public, pee for five times, and doubling the poop. After the beating, they will have to clean the streets for five days. If you catch them, you will be contracted by the cleaning work on this street without a second thought. It is not important to have no miser, and the work will be borne by the chief and the closest residents and shops to punish them for not fulfilling their responsibilities of persuasion.

In a few days, everyone knew that the soldiers who seemed kind and often helped the elderly and young were smiling. No matter who was caught, they would definitely not escape punishment. The people who had been beaten will not mention it. Even a group trainee in Qiongzhou shredded cow dung on the street for not carrying a bundle of their horses. The security chiefs of all sizes led the family to sweep the streets, which became a scene in Qiongzhou. The old man who retired in the city was said to have been a fourth-rank official and would salute him when he saw the magistrate in this city, but he was punished because there was garbage in the back door of the house that had not been cleaned up. He was so embarrassed that the old man was looking for death and had to go to the magistrate to complain. However, the soldiers were unmoved and told him that even if he wanted to die, he would clean the door first.

The soldiers were so reckless, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the gentry and the elderly. They gathered together and contacted the scholars from the government schools to write a letter to the yamen, saying that the military generals beat the people in public and humiliated officials was a humiliation of manners, harassing the countryside, destroying the customs, and should be punished. The city of the palace was bright and bright. The governor Zhao and Luo personally met with the petition group. After explaining their intentions, they spread their hands and said: The notice was posted by the General's Mansion, and the soldiers were sent by the Fushi Department. The county could not control them at all, so they could only submit them. They also privately revealed that these were all rules set by His Highness the King of Wei, and the general's mansion had already implemented them in the army, and they had to kill people.

The group of people were stunned when they heard this. The largest official living in this mansion was no longer the governor, but the King of Wei. His Highness was just a child, and he would probably not get anything except for being a bad reputation for bullying the small one. Maybe his Highness saw so many people and was so scared that they cried and they were in charge of disturbing the king. Everyone thought that it was not worth disturbing His Highness for such a small matter, so they should not be as knowledgeable as children. So a vigorous letter was done, and it ended in vain.

During the storm, the people were unaware of the inside story, but when they saw that these well-known figures in the past were made into dust, they knew that they could not make trouble, so they also accepted their heads. They no longer indignantly but consciously maintained the cleanliness of their own land, and actively persuaded and reported those bad people who randomly "scrambled" their labor results. So, the streets in the city were clean, and there were fewer places to cover their noses when going out, and it was difficult to step on the door when going out, especially the flies and mosquitoes no longer disturbed people unscrupulously.

One day as the environment was getting better and better, Shuai Si suddenly beat gongs and drums to the Tuanjian who had shoveled cow dung on the street to praise him for his ability to learn from his mistakes after being punished, and often led the village soldiers to clean the streets and repair bridges and roads. The old man who was punished to sweep the streets was very dissatisfied with this. Although he couldn't bear to take people to sweep the streets, he cleaned the house and often persuaded the neighbors around him to urge the chief to clean the ditches and ponds and keep them hygienic. He was also given the handwriting of His Highness's "Clean House". Although this is pure and not the other is quiet, he was extremely proud. He specially framed it and hung it in the middle hall to show off.

After all this trouble, the people realized that His Highness should listen to his words, and that he would be beaten and punished if he violated his traits, and that he would be rewarded with rewards. Then, whenever the general's mansion had a order, both ordinary people and the gentry would respond actively, and he would build cities and temples, donate funds and raise funds to build public welfare. The city was a mansion on the island, and there were many merchants and travelers, including gossipers, so they would take the matters in the city back to their hometowns as interesting stories. However, the spread of the news changed a little: His Highness said that His Highness, who hated those who disobeyed the orders the most, would make people whip and eat cow shit once he knew it; obedient people were rewarded, and they were also given archways where civil servants were removed from sedan chairs and military generals were dismounted.

The royal palace did not pursue these rumors, and naturally the county would not be too troublesome. But they all admired His Highness very much. In the past, they had a headache about the difficulty of carrying out government orders. They were opposed by the people when they were strongly promoted, and the scholars were clamoring, and they were reprimanded by the top of the peak when they were soft. Therefore, they could only do things perfunctorily when encountering such a thing. However, His Highness only used some small things to eliminate the accumulated problems, subtly allowing the government orders to be implemented smoothly. They privately thought that His Highness's methods were comparable to Shang Yang's method of "standing the city gate"!
