In his previous life, Cui Xian was a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature from a prestigious university.
In this life, he has transmigrated into an impoverished family in ancient times.
...It is impossible that so many people poured into the market street to stab Pei Jian to death.
I am not here to buy Mahora.
This group of excited people came to thank the little prodigy Cui Xian!
While the Cui family was busy opening the new store.
The officials investigating the Zhao Zhi case set out from the capital.
He first went to Kaifeng Prefecture, and then, accompanied by the officials of the Provincial Administration Commissioner and the Censorate, rushed to the Nanyang Prefectural Government's Yamen.
Returning with these superiors was Prefect Song, who had been forced to stay in Kaifeng for a long time.
But here's the interesting thing.
After arriving in Nanyang, these officials were not in a hurry to solve the case.
Instead, a decree was announced first, which was jointly drafted by the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works and approved by the cabinet, and was beneficial to Nanyang County.
Because the superiors arrived early.
Many Nanyang officials from the government office were listening with sleepy eyes.
Including Ye Huaifeng, who came in a hurry to welcome the Heavenly Official.
Then the leading official opened a memorial and read: "Starting from this autumn, the people of Nanyang County will be exempted from corvée service for three years."
Ye Huaifeng shuddered suddenly.
The other Nanyang officials had their eyes wide open and their expressions dizzy, almost thinking that they had not woken up yet.
The official added: "Exempt the people of Nanyang County from 60% of their grain tax for the next five years. Exempt the family of Cui Xian, the author of "Two Poems of Pity for the Peasants", from corvée and grain tax for twenty years."
"In addition, use "Two Poems of Pity for the Peasants" as a model poem and promote it in schools all over the country."
hiss!
The entire prefectural government office was in complete silence.
Every official's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
No... Although I know this is a policy that benefits Nanyang, the benefits are too drastic!
Exemption from corvée labor for three years and exemption from 60% of grain tax for five years.
Oh my god!
This kind of good thing may not happen once in thousands of years.
People in Nanyang County must celebrate the New Year in advance today!
And it's obvious.
Nanyang was able to obtain such favorable policies all because of Cui Xian and the "Two Poems of Pity the Peasants".
Prefect Song was almost stunned with joy. Even at his age, his face turned red with excitement.
First, he hurriedly thanked the officials.
Then he looked at all the excited Nanyang officials and said anxiously, "Quick, order all the officials in the county and prefectural offices to quickly post a notice and inform the people of Nanyang of this good news."
"Also, it must be clearly written that the court praised the people of Nanyang because of the "Two Poems of Pity for the Peasants" written by the child prodigy Cui Xian."
"You guys go quickly... No, no, no, I have to go there myself. Thank you, little prodigy, on behalf of the people of Nanyang!"
If we say that Governor Song's previous visit to the Cui family to express his condolences was a political show.
So today.
Even though he was the prefect, he had to rush over and bow to Cui Xian to express his gratitude on behalf of all the people of Nanyang.
Because this is Fukuzawa's hometown, a great achievement that benefits all people!
Prefect Song wanted to take all the officials in the yamen to find Cui Xian to express his gratitude immediately, but he turned around and looked at the group of officials from the capital with an embarrassed look on his face.
The celestial officials looked amiable and said with a smile, "We will take a rest first. Lord Song, go and thank the little prodigy on behalf of the people."
"Thank you all for your consideration! I will go right away!"
Prefect Song hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Then he left the yamen with Wu Tongzhi, Ye County Magistrate, and a group of Nanyang officials, looking excited.
After a cup of tea.
The county government and the prefectural government posted notices one after another.
In order to prevent the common people from being illiterate, officials would recite and sing beside them.
As expected, the entire Nanyang County was in an uproar!
The news came from the government office.
Then it spread rapidly in the streets and alleys.
The man holding the knife in the pork shop was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
The old lady who was sitting on the street and chatting suddenly stood up, with disbelief and surprise in her eyes.
There was a man in the yard, hugging his wife and crying and laughing.
A woman was visiting her neighbours to tell them the great news.
The whole city was plunged into a huge carnival.
"Really? The master in the government office said it himself! Starting this autumn, all the people in Nanyang County will be exempted from corvée labor for three years!"
"That's great, that's great!"
"Not only will they be exempt from corvée labor, but they will also exempt 60% of the grain tax for the next five years!"
"Oh my god, we can store a lot of food for this autumn harvest!"
"The officials said that the reason why Nanyang can enjoy these policies is because the little prodigy Cui Xian wrote the "Two Poems of Pity for the Peasants". When Your Majesty heard about it, he was deeply moved and praised the little prodigy for writing good poems, and then praised the people of Nanyang!"
"Thank you, little prodigy! Thank you, little prodigy!"
After hearing about this, a large number of people were excited and prepared to find Cui Xian in person to thank him.
They asked along the way and arrived at Zhongjing Lane.
But it was all in vain.
Later, they learned that Cui’s new store was opening today, so the excited people rushed to the market street again.
Not only the people.
Prefect Song and all the people in the yamen also rushed over with excited expressions.
Cui Xian, Pei Jian and others were frightened by the scene and retreated to Nibaozhai, preparing to close the door.
Old Mrs. Cui and other members of the Cui family noticed the noise, came out to look, and became panicked.
Oh my god!
Why are there so many people here?
Then, the entire Cui family, as well as Cui Xian, Pei Jian and seven or eight other boys, were all stunned.
Then you can see it on the street.
After seeing Cui Xian, the group of people who came in a threatening manner bowed and expressed their gratitude with red eyes.
"Thank you, little prodigy! Thank you, little prodigy!"
"You are a meritorious official of Nanyang and a benefactor to the people of Nanyang."
