Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

Night falls.

Inside the courtyard of Xifang.

Niu Wu and Liu Tu sat at the door, each holding a bowl of noodles, slurping them down.

After a busy day, Qiu Tuizi, carrying a large bundle, glanced at the two of them and quickly went around to the side to go inside.

Today, several gangs were dealt with. The yamen officials took the lead, arresting the main members of the gangs. Then, their enforcement team rushed in and, according to the ward official's instructions, seized all the gangs' assets.

Have you eaten?

Looking at Qiu Tuizi standing at the door.

Qin Feng rubbed his sore wrists, stood up, and asked a question.

"Ah? Lord Bousho, I... I..."

"I haven't eaten in a while, so let me eat something, Liu Tu. I'm starving, hurry up and make me a bowl of noodles!"

Qin Feng shouted outside.

It seems.

We need to find a cook. Having Niu Wu cook is no different from taking poison. Liu Tu can only cook the noodles, and as for the taste, Qin Feng has no way of commenting.

"Lord Housho, this is what we looted from the gang today..."

"Watch your wording. Now that you're the captain of the enforcement team, do you think it's appropriate to use the word 'plunder'? This is called 'confiscation' or 'confiscation of public property'."

Qin Feng glanced at the guy sideways and gave him a gruff reminder.

"Yes, yes, I remember. All the valuables confiscated from the gang today are here. Lord Fangzheng, please take a look."

"Just leave it there, we'll deal with it later."

The goal is to govern the West Ward better than the East Ward within three months.

Besides eliminating the gangs, there is another crucial point.

silver!

Moreover, it required a large amount of money; repairing roads, renovating houses, and cleaning up the environment—every single step required money.

After clearing out the gangs, a considerable amount of silver can be collected, which will be used to govern the West Ward.

This is called taking from the people and using it for the people.

Are you suggesting we make him pay for it himself?

"What does this mean?"

After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Tuizi took out several silver notes from his chest and respectfully handed them over.

"It was delivered by a servant from the Grand Tutor's mansion. He said... he said that Young Master Wang was very satisfied with today's fighting in the West Ward, and told me to continue to work hard tomorrow. He also said that he would send money later, so don't worry about spending money."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Feng scratched his head vigorously, momentarily stunned.

Did Wang Dengke bring silver to express his satisfaction with the enforcement team's conduct today?

No!

Has this kid betrayed the Nanlin Party?

"My lord, I had my men investigate. Today, the servants of the Grand Tutor's mansion thought that I was leading the enforcement team in a fight with other gangs. In addition, the market was quite chaotic this morning, and the men didn't see the end of the fight before running back to report. That's why they thought that."

Qin Feng understood.

Wang Dengke was the landlord's foolish son.

Yesterday they sponsored 300 taels, and today they sponsored another 100 taels.

Wang Dengke has been involved in shaping every single tree and blade of grass in Xifang's future.

"Well, if that's the case, what will Wang Dengke ask you to do tomorrow? Was there any explanation?"

"have!"

At this time.

Liu Tu brought out two bowls of noodles, and Qiu Tuizi hurriedly got up and respectfully took one bowl of noodles.

continued:

"What I mean is, even though I led my gang members in a fierce fight, it wasn't chaotic enough. I hope you will do something to oppress the people tomorrow."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng smacked his lips, inwardly thanking Wang Dengke, the landlord's foolish son, once again.

That's exactly what I wanted.

The gang is temporarily being handled by the Jingzhao Prefecture government, and the enforcement team can spare manpower.

After posting the notices tomorrow, Qin Feng plans to take action on the environment on the street.

Especially the situation of urinating or defecating anywhere.

Qin Feng noticed this problem after taking a walk around the market today: the people in Xifang are urinating and defecating indiscriminately.

There was trash everywhere, and you could unzip your pants to use the toilet anytime, anywhere.

Qin Feng dared not think about it.

If it rains, what would Xifang become, given the drainage system of ancient capital cities?

It might not drown you, but it can stink you to death.

"If you lead your enforcement team to do this tomorrow, you must be ruthless and teach them a lesson they won't forget..."

Qin Feng held the bowl and slurped up the noodles in big gulps.

Only then did he quietly arrange the work of the enforcement team for tomorrow.

"yes!"

After listening.

Qiu Tuizi nodded hurriedly.

"Then, sir, what if we send more silver tomorrow?"

"Keep it, and make sure it satisfies our young master."

Qin Feng grinned.

It's not good if someone gives you money.

The West Wing is short of money right now, so even if it's just acting, they have to make sure Young Master Wang is satisfied.

Only when people are satisfied can they continuously send money over.

not to mention.

They weren't acting.

Oppressing the people?

Then tomorrow we'll officially begin "oppressing the people!"

……

The next morning.

On the wooden sign where the notice was posted at the Xifang Jingzhao Prefecture government office.

More than a dozen newly posted notices were neatly pasted up.

"What does it say on it?"

"You're asking me? I can't even write my own name, how could I possibly recognize what it says? I'm not a wanted criminal by the authorities, I don't even have a portrait."

"Where's the paralyzed old scholar? Bring him over so he can see. With so many notices posted, has something serious happened?"

In front of the notice board.

A large number of Xifang residents gathered, staring wide-eyed at the notice posted above, scratching their heads in frustration.

I don't recognize you!

soon.

An elderly scholar was carried out on someone's back.

As one of the few literate people in Xifang, even though he was paralyzed, the old scholar held his head high, stretched his neck, and explained to everyone what was written on the notice, word by word.

"It's clearly stated here that the Xifang law enforcement team, in cooperation with the government, conducted a three-month 'anti-gang storm' operation, achieving remarkable results yesterday. They successively destroyed six gangs, including the Green Dragon Gang and the Vicious Dog Gang, and all their main members have been imprisoned. They will continue to crack down on gang members in the future, and hope that the people of Xifang will actively report any such activities!"

As the old scholar finished speaking.

The people gathered around stared wide-eyed.

Many people have heard about what happened yesterday.

They knew that the newly arrived Lord Fangzheng had taken action against the gang.

Unexpectedly, they wiped out six gangs in one fell swoop. No wonder I didn't see those usual hooligans wandering the streets today.

"What comes next? Tell me quickly, what does it say next?"

The old scholar stopped.

Everyone urged them on, eager to know what was written on the back of all those notices.

"Let me take a look!"

The old scholar raised his head and continued reading the contents of the notice behind him.

He was so emotional that he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"The ward chief is truly a man of great talent. If all of the above measures are successfully implemented, the West Ward will be comparable to the East Ward!"

It contains a great deal of information.

And it's very detailed.

At the very least, the old scholar, who had studied all his life, had never seen such a detailed notice.

The notices included annotations on everything imaginable, such as sanitation in Xifang, shop repairs, regulations for street vendors, road paving, and so on.

"What exactly is it written?"

"To sum up, there's only one thing I need to do today!"

The old scholar stroked his chin with one hand, patted his son's forehead, and gestured for him to turn around.

"The rest of the content is for later. In the past few days, the notice has included something that is relevant to everyone."

"What content?"

Someone shouted and pressed for an answer.

This is driving me crazy!

"Do not urinate or defecate on the road, do not litter on the ground, do not spit on the street; those who violate these rules will be severely punished."

The old scholar smiled slightly.

He deliberately showed off his literary talent and said.
