This strange fragment looks like gold but not gold, looks like jade but not jade, looks like stone but not stone, but it contains a unique scripture.

Whether it is Tie Tang's Future Law or the Human Emperor's Taiwu Nirvana Code, they all emerged from it.

Tie Tang even vaguely saw the context of Totem Avenue in his previous enlightenment.

However, some of the speculations were too startling and could not be confirmed, so Tie Tang didn't think much about them.

At this moment, Tie Tang took out the fragment and wanted to see if anyone could 'see' the scripture.

If there really is such a peerless genius...

Then his future is also unlimited.

The fragment is an irregular oval shape, with defects at every corner, as if it were an item peeled off from some kind of orifice shell.

Everyone picked up the fragments one by one and looked at them carefully, from early morning to dusk, from dawn to dusk.

No one has gained, no one has gained.

If Tie Tang hadn't brought this thing out, no one would have picked it up if it had been thrown on the ground.

"Don't you... understand?"

Tie Tang was slightly disappointed.

This kind of disappointment is not a disappointment to everyone, but a feeling that the road ahead is lonely and no one is with you.

"You can't do it either?" Tie Tang handed the fragment to Feng Bingyao, she was the last hope.

The latter took the fragment, looked at it carefully, injected witchcraft power, penetrated the spiritual consciousness, even dripped blood into it, and used various witchcraft and supernatural powers to activate it.

Half an hour later.

Feng Bingyao shook her head slowly, handed the fragment back to Tie Tang, and asked.

"Is there really such a miracle in the world?"

"If this kind of skill really exists...who would create it? Why is there no name left in the world?"

Tie Tang took the fragment and said a little lonely: "This is not a skill, but a scripture, maybe written by someone who has a thorough understanding of the way of heaven.

He himself may not understand the way of cultivation, but he only records the cycle of nature, destiny, and the avenue of cause and effect.

Of course.

Maybe he is very strong, so strong that it is beyond the knowledge of everyone else including me."

At the end of his words, Tie Tang remembered the existence that the Great Lord once mentioned.

Everything in the world is possible.

The ninth day.

While Tie Tang was familiar with the formation, he was also handling the official affairs of Qingshui City. He also had someone draw his ideal blueprint and prepare to start vigorously transforming Qingshui City.

"The money sent by Jiangdu Prefecture still has a surplus of about 100 million taels of gold. I have transferred it to the arsenal for you to handle."

Li Qingwan is responsible for the aftermath of the plague. The residences and houses of the victims in various places under Qingshui City have been repaired. Those who have died in the family, and those who are in the prime of life and are working hard, will be given appropriate subsidies of money, grain and rice.

In general, there are no big problems with the disposal. There are still some small details that can be left to the local government.

Tie Tang rubbed his head and put aside the official document submitted by Liu Pengfei of Yuncheng.

"Qiu Zhengshou, how many inspectors do we have in Qingshui City?"

Qiu Zhengyang thought for a while: "Including adults, there are thirty-six people in total."

"Thirty-six people...are too few."

Thirty-six supervisors are too few compared to the entire Qingshui County.

However, in the cities under Qingshui County, some areas have set up supervisory offices, and each supervisory office usually has two supervisory envoys.

Overall, it's just barely enough.

But even he is not qualified to intervene in the appointment of the inspector, and it is impossible for someone to be born out of thin air.

"Deploy ten inspectors and let each of them lead three agents from the Search Hall, one from the Meihua Hall, and two from the Xingtang.

One person per city, take turns going to the plague-infected cities to supervise the local government's distribution and use of money to see if there is any unfairness."

With so much money, it was naturally impossible for Li Qingwan to hand it over to every disaster victim. Most of the money was given to the local government's household department for distribution.

But in this case, it is inevitable that some officials will become greedy and may reach out to those properties.

Qiu Zhengyang is all right about this proposal, but he also has some opinions of his own.

"My lord, I don't know that when officials from other places go...there are many disadvantages in doing things. It's not because they don't do their best, but because the local officials work together to deceive them. Even if they have great abilities, they won't be able to use them.

In my opinion... we can ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to send ten mathematicians to go together.

In this way, property has a clear entry and exit registration. Even if it is deceived at the time, as long as it is checked afterwards, if there is anything wrong, it can be traced and corrupt officials can be weeded out."

I thought this suggestion would be accepted by Tie Tang, but unexpectedly he waved his hand.

"You can't do everything, you have to leave some room for them, and you can't make them jump over the wall.

To put it bluntly.

They are the officials who manage people's livelihood in the local area every day and every night. We can take care of them for a while, but how can we take care of them for a lifetime?"

"But..."

Qiu Zhengyang obviously had different opinions, but was interrupted again by Tie Tang.

"Qiu Zhengshou, you have been in the Supervisory Hall for so many years, you should know... there is no end to catching corrupt officials.

Once a batch is caught, there will be a new batch.

Investigate its roots.

It’s human greed that’s at work!

As long as an official is a human being, you cannot guarantee that he will never be greedy.

What we have to do is not to change this phenomenon, but to start from the root.

Change the overall environment!

So that they don’t need to be greedy and don’t want to be greedy.

When the benefits they can obtain exceed, or are close to, those obtained by corruption and perverting the law, they will be a little more hesitant when reaching out.

Over time.

When the environment is completely changed, not to mention completely eliminating corrupt officials, at least a large number of people will be reduced."

Li Qingwan listened intently and asked casually: "It sounds simple, but changing the environment is probably a thousand times more difficult than arresting people directly. Do you have a way?"

Tie Tang smiled and said: "As long as we in Qingshui County slowly become rich, there will always be more honest people."

"What are your plans?" He Changsheng also leaned his head and raised his ears.

"If you want to be rich, build roads first. If the trade routes are passable, merchants will naturally come to trade."

He Changsheng said cheerfully: "I know how to build roads. It is paved for the first time, broken for one year, repaired for three years, and three years after that, three years for the wind to blow, three years for the rain to hit, and it takes ten years and eighty years to build a road.

It’s not a problem to download it.”

The situation he mentioned is an important means for many local governments to make money. Not only can they deduct money from the court's allocation, but they can also extort property from local people and aristocratic families.

In fact, it is the first-class means of plundering people's wealth and wealth, stealing food and rice, and deceiving superiors and subordinates."

Tie Tang was not angry at He Changsheng's teasing, and just said calmly: "Road construction is the first priority. Brother Fang and I have already negotiated that as long as the geographical conditions permit, we can even set up a boat shop in our Qingshui City.

Once there are new properties entering the market, business will flourish.

When the time is right, you can also set up sub-rudders in several of the more prosperous cities under your control.

At that time, Qingshui County's business could also be connected to other cities, capitals, and counties in the world. Why worry about money not coming in and the people not getting rich?"

Li Qingwan said: "If we just build roads and establish trade routes, I am afraid that they will eventually be controlled by a small number of merchants and aristocratic families. By then, the fat will still be in their pockets, and the people may not be able to realize it."

"Not bad!" Tie Tang nodded without denying it.

"Therefore, there must be a second article: to broaden the people's wisdom, to establish martial arts schools and academies in various places, so that everyone can understand hundreds of classics, read poems and books, understand affairs, use history as a mirror, and use literature as a mirror.

When the common people gain knowledge and broaden their horizons, they will naturally think differently. By then, even if aristocratic families and merchants want to have their own way, they will be endorsed by the court's laws and will not be allowed to act recklessly."

Qiu Zhengyang raised a core question: "If you want to do this...you have a lot of money, right? Where will you get the capital?"

Not to mention building roads, we also need to open martial arts halls and academies in every city. With martial arts halls and academies, there must be teachers to teach martial arts, and there must be enough teachers.

Calculating all these miscellaneous things, it’s not a small amount.

Unless Tie Tang plans to charge tuition fees, this may be able to achieve a balance.

"The imperial court has martial arts academies in various places, but there is not enough money to support them, and the martial arts masters there are too low-level to teach many people.

I will find another way to do this, and it will never be a problem."

Tie Tang already has a draft in his mind. He has a clear idea of ​​the future plans for the entire Qingshui County, and he is 70% to 80% sure that those things can be accomplished.

Several people talked about governance and jurisdiction one after another, and finally Tie Tang mentioned another person.

"Isn't Lu Juncheng out of seclusion yet?"

Qiu Zhengyang frowned slightly: "I came to visit again yesterday, and I did receive a message from Brother Lu, saying that he is inheriting the inheritance and cannot leave the country for the time being. Please bear with me for official duties."

"Is that so... forget it, let him go." Tie Tang didn't take it to heart.
To be continued...
