The gathered civilians mainly dredged open channels, and needed to wait until the army arrested people before entering the culvert for systematic cleaning.

The effect is significant in two or three days. The smelly ditches and puddles in the corners of the city have gradually become clean and refreshing.

"It's time to eat!"

“Come in line!”

Several inferior horses drove over with carts, and there were some large wooden barrels on the wooden board.

Security Chief Xu Li quickly shouted: "Team A will finish work first, come here to get the meal!"

The civil servant called the servants to move the wooden barrels, and after opening the lid, the smell of food instantly spread out in the air.

"Check whether the food is in compliance!" said the clerk.

The security chief Xu Li nodded and bowed: "It must be compliant, no need to check."

The clerk said: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Li laughed awkwardly, walked to the front of the wooden barrel, picked up a large spoon and stirred.

The porridge is a paste porridge mixed with corn and rice. It is quite thick when stirred, and you can see tiny oil flowers.

There is a vegetable next to it, which is fermented black beans transported from Nanyang and Xiangyang. The refugees planted a large amount of beans, and the salt in Sichuan was not expensive to transport. The excess was made into fermented black beans and sold to the army. Now they are transported to Tokyo, which is a temporary strategic material, which can provide both salt and legume protein.

Xu Li checked, put down the spoon and said, "Everything is very compliant."

"Sign up and seal!" said the clerk.

Xu Li raised a pen to sign the document, dipped it in red mud and pressed the handprints, and then he called the villagers to come and get the porridge.

Because it is a physical work, each person can eat three large bowls of thick porridge. However, only one teaspoon of fermented black beans is given, which is about twenty or thirty beans.

The villagers squat or sit, regardless of the heat of the porridge and rice, while blowing air and cooling, they sucked the edge of the bowl. They were reluctant to eat fermented black beans, and they could bite the half of the porridge and chew it in a few sips of hot porridge.

Xu Li smiled and said, "It's very strict now. You have to sign and stamp it if you put a few pokes of porridge."

"Who said it was not? Mr. Zhu had great rules," the civil servant couldn't help but complain, "The officials in and outside Tokyo were all brought by Mr. Zhu from Hanzhong. They were despicable in their work and would hold them accountable if they were missing a signature. If you didn't sign it just now, from top to bottom, you would be investigated."

Xu Li said astonished: "How else do you do it?"

The clerk sighed: "Anyway, it's very rare to make money from now on. At most, we can eat a few bites. Fortunately, our salary has increased a little. Let's not talk about it, the bucket is here, and I have to go to the next place. I'll come back to you later to collect the bucket."

In the Tang Dynasty, the market system was implemented, with residential areas and commercial areas being built. The two were separated by walls and opened or closed according to the time.

In the Song Dynasty, it was changed to the wing house system, and the walls of residential and commercial areas were demolished. The city was divided into several areas, namely "Xiaoxiang", similar to the "Xiaoxiang District" in later generations.

"Cei Zheng" is the "district chief", which is directly managed by the government office or the prefecture office, while the Guo County office can only manage the countryside.

The "Yangong Office" is the "district government" responsible for civil affairs and justice.

"Patrol shops" are equivalent to "police stations", with about one store and part-time fire alarm and other businesses.

"Baojia" is similar to "street office" and "neighborhood committee".

These urban management systems were all first in the Song Dynasty.

The "Five City Military and Ma Si" created by the Zhu father and son was a police station and five branches on the police station.

Nowadays, officials from Kaifeng Prefecture, Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County are all selected from the old Song bureaucrats. However, the eight district mayors and police chiefs inside and outside Tokyo were all confidants brought by Sichuan, and the father and son were gradually able to control the grassroots of the city.

Especially the eight district heads, all of them were Zhu Guoxiang's disciples, three of whom were from Yangzhou, three from Hanzhong, and two from Shuzhong.

After they became district mayors in Tokyo City, they would definitely be county magistrates when they were transferred to office next time.

And the average age is only about twenty years old, and the youngest is only seventeen years old!

Just like the civil servant said, these district chiefs believed in their own way. They knew that they could not play tricks on the treacherous old officials and had to follow the rules, because this set of regulations had been tested and had been repeatedly repaired in Hanzhong, and the loopholes that could be filled were almost all the time.

Xu Li also took a bowl of thick porridge and sat down, and he had more fermented black beans.

Several familiar people came over and drank the porridge and said, "Xu Da, I have been asking for a good job. What way did you take to be the chief security officer?"

Xu Li said angrily: "What's the point of this chief? I just stared at you who could eat more porridge and a few more beans when you were a businessman. You didn't even pay your salary. If you make a mistake, you would have to lose your life."

"Just be good," a civilian laughed, "Who doesn't know? If you go to buy food, each person can buy an extra bucket. Buy vinegar, salt, cloth, charcoal... you can buy anything, unlike us who have to queue up slowly."

Speaking of this, Xu Li was happy and said proudly: "After all, we are considered half a member of the public. It is naturally beneficial to do things for the government."

Another civilian asked: "When will this food be sold open to the market?"

Xu Li comforted, "Don't worry, I heard from my superior that Mr. Zhu had already been collecting food before leaving Sichuan. The river water was transported only a few batches. When the spring was thawed, two more batches could be transported. It would be fine to survive the spring. In the summer, wheat will be harvested and eaten open at that time!"

"That's good," said another civilian, "I saw a young husband a few days ago, and he didn't even have a full beard. I heard that he was the chief of the left second wing. Is this true or false?"

Xu Li began to show his insights: "The official surname is Tian, ​​and he is only seventeen years old this year. I heard that Zhu Jingluo and Marshal Zhu fled, but they couldn't even have enough food. They were still the ones that General Tian's father took in for rice. When General Tian studied with Zhu Jingluo, he was less than ten years old. Although he is only seventeen years old now, he has been an official with Zhu Jingluo for several years."

"Is it possible that Wenquxing descended to earth and could become a public servant at the age of twelve or thirteen?" The civilians said astonished.

Xu Li smiled and said, "But when the two ministers started their army, they didn't have enough scholars under their command. The matter of dismantling and copying official documents was handed over to those disciples in their teens. As these disciples grew older, they were arranged to be the chief officers of Tokyo City."

As he said, Xu Li said mysteriously: "I have also heard from people. Now the eight officials in Tokyo are likely to have several prime ministers in the future. They are only about twenty years old and are still disciples of the emperor. As long as there is no problem, they may become governors at the age of thirty. When they are forty or fifty, they will definitely join the court to become senior officials. Isn't it natural for the prime minister?"

"This is so rich and powerful that the ancestral grave is filled with smoke!" Everyone was envious.

Xu Li whispered: "Many officials from the old dynasty are asking about the eight officials. I heard that there are two officials who have not married yet. The matchmakers who come to their house every day still have to queue outside their house. It is more difficult than catching a son-in-law under the list before. There were matchmakers fighting two days ago!"

"I know about this. Sun Sanniang's face was scratched. She said she was caught by a cat. The cats in the city had been eaten up long ago, so where can there be any cats to scratch her?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Are you still short of maids in the eight officials' families? My second mother is almost fifteen years old, and she is very quick to repair and wash her hands and feet."

"You still want to let your daughter be a concubine? They want to be the prime minister and look down on your stupid girl. So they want to take a concubine and choose to sing music."

“…”

Xu Li stood up and glanced at him, urging: "Team A hasn't finished eating yet, hurry up and work. Group B should not be too slow. After finishing work early, go home early. Don't think about scrambling to eat. The boss only gives these few days of construction."

After everyone finished eating, the civil servant came back with the servant to collect the bucket.

Suddenly, a team of soldiers emerged from the exit of the nearby culvert and escorted dozens of underground slums.

Those poor people need to go to the Xianggong Office first, and the Xiangzhangpu soldiers (police police officers) assist in the interrogation, and ask them to confess the situation of the gang in their underground areas. Then some daily necessities will be handed over to Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties, and the county government will organize them to go to the suburbs to select houses and divide the fields.

The real estate and land distributed are still sold at low prices, and the government provides free loans.

As long as you are willing to work and have no illness or disaster, you can repay it in installments in a few years. If you encounter disasters and diseases, you can apply for an extension, and it doesn't matter if you end up losing some. Anyway, you don't really expect them to pay back those little money.

The working man turned his head and looked at the poor underground, with endless contempt in his eyes.

The people of Tokyo hate the underground world very much. Which one lost the baby or the women were abducted by the rats in the ditches.

Especially in recent times, public security cases have emerged one after another, and the people's worries, fears and anger are all counted on these people.

The Zhu family and son cleared Wuyou Cave, and the people of Tokyo raised their hands to agree!

One after another, some underground poor people were escorted out, until half an hour later, the escorted person began to become members of the gang.

Some officers stood at the exit of the culvert and shouted: "Captain Baojia, bring people here to move the body. The construction period can be extended by one day!"

"Come here!" Xu Li replied.

The villagers were also very happy. Moving a few bodies would delay the construction period by one day, which means that they could have two more meals for free.

Xu Li left a group of people and continued to clean the open channel outside, while the rest of the civilians went into the cryptana to move the body.

An hour later, these civilians came out of the culvert and their faces were not very normal.

The civilian working outside asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Vomit..." Suddenly someone vomited.

Another civilian was sad and said, "Don't ask, I've vomited all of them in it after eating those three bowls of porridge."

The officer asked Xu Li: "I have asked you to build firewood and make fire, but has it done?"

Xu Li hurriedly said: "It's hard to find firewood. I got some charcoal to base it, and then went outside the city to pick up some rotten wood."

The officer turned around and said to the civilians, "Change them all out."

First there were all skinny and complete corpses, then baskets of scattered corpses were carried out...

Xu Li just walked forward and glanced at her, and felt her stomach turbulently. She covered her mouth and forced herself to resist vomiting.

Not only is it visual impact, but it also has a strong smell.

Du Ping walked out of the culvert, scratched his forehead and said, "Who is the custodian? Go to the Xianggong Office to apply for extra meals. I will say hello to the Xianggong Chief. I can add a few more pieces of meat to you tomorrow."

Xu Li was about to thank him, but suddenly heard the word "meat" and finally couldn't help but turn around and bend down: "Vomit!"

(Oh, it’s really time to take good care of yourself. I was hospitalized a few days ago and did various tests, including high blood lipids, fatty liver, high uric acid... A bunch of data has problems. On the second day of discharge, I encountered a cooling down. I caught a cold in minutes, had no severe cough, my almonds were swollen than my brain, and my lungs were full of sound when I breathed.)

(Another new book is recommended, "Dutch Dividing of Dusk" by the Old Ghost of Montenegro. I am also reading this book, not blindly recommending it.)
