Chapter 75: Full of energy!
Wanping County Government Office, main hall.

Chen Ran came back and sat down again.

He didn't bang the gavel to judge the case, but simply asked, "Duan Ping, you said they swallowed the reward money for catching rats?"

"Yes." Duan Ping responded, "I am busy looking for the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book. I will give the reward money for collecting rats to them and distribute it to the people who handed in the rats."

"But the number of rats handed in by the people has been decreasing these days, and I find it strange."

Duan Ping said angrily, "I went to ask the people, and then I found out that even if I handed in the rat, I wouldn't get any reward, so naturally no one would hand it in. And..."

At this point, Duan Er became even more angry. "They actually occupied the people's houses and used them to raise rats!"

"Raising mice?" Chen Ran's expression remained calm before, but when he heard this, he finally became gloomy.

Although we already knew that the bottom line of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty was very low, they would do all kinds of weird things to get money.

But raising mice in exchange for rewards was something that exceeded the limits of his cognition.

As for Duan Ping, it is very rare to see a county magistrate who can walk out of the county government office and discuss matters with the people these days.

"This governor has issued a notice." Chen Ran's face was as gloomy as water, and he glanced at everyone. "The purpose of killing rats is to prevent the outbreak of plague. Raising rats? Are you trying to kill everyone?!"

He stood up with a cold face and said, "Take me to see it!"

Chen Ran, who grew up in the modern world, still finds it hard to believe that human nature can be destroyed to such an extent. He wants to witness it with his own eyes, seeing is believing.

There is a family not far from the county government office.

Before entering, I could hear the frequent 'sizzling' sounds inside, which made my scalp tingle.

After opening the door, Chen Ran looked at it for a while and almost vomited out of nausea.

After coming out, he simply ordered, "Burn this house down."

The dry grass and firewood were poured with kerosene and ignited, and the raging flames soon engulfed the house.

This practice can be called the Ming Dynasty version of the Umbrella Company.

"Oh my God~~~How can our whole family survive~~~"

The whole family, young and old, was stopped outside the fire scene, crying and screaming heartbreakingly, trying to rush into the fire scene.

Duan Ping, who was standing by, hurried forward to explain, "He was the owner of this house, but he was driven away by those clerks, so he occupied their house to raise rats."

"Choose the best house among the clerks' houses and give it to them as compensation. Then calculate the price of their house and give it to them as compensation."

"Leader!"

Sitting back in the county government office, Chen Ran asked sternly, "Liu Youfu, I remember the rat extermination order was issued by the Grand Commandant's Office?"

"Yes."

"Yes." Chen Ran nodded. "That's a military order. Withholding the money for extermination is withholding military pay. Raising rats is intended to cause a plague and harm the people of the entire city, which is a crime of high treason."

Pointing at the coffins, he said, "They are not worthy of being buried. Send them to a mass grave. Confiscate their homes and deal with all their relatives according to the law!"

The three shifts of yamen runners, composed of retired soldiers, immediately went forward to carry the coffin and arrest the person upon receiving the order.

There was chaos in the county government office.

"Duan Er, you did a good job this time." Chen Ran patted Duan Ping on the shoulder to express his appreciation.

Duan Ping thought Chen Ran was talking about getting rid of the clerks, and scratched his head happily, "Working for the Grand Commander, devoting all my energy to the cause!"

Chen Ran smiled, told Duan Ping to continue working, and returned to the study in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Grind the ink, spread the paper, pick up the pen and write.

".Abolish the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book, and redefine and register everything. Make three copies, one for the court, one for the local government, and one for the householder, and revise it every year after the autumn harvest."

". The local government offices in various places will be purged, starting from Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping and Daxing counties, and then extended to Jizhen, Liaozhen, and Dongjiangzhen. In the future, wherever the court recovers, the purge will be carried out there."

"All the runners, clerks, clerks, tax collectors, etc. in the local government offices, regardless of their past reputation, will be removed from their posts for investigation and punished according to the regulations on salary collection."

". The local government offices were divided, and a supervisory department directly under the Supervisory Department was established, a legal department in charge of hearing cases was established, and a medical clinic was established"

".The East Factory, the West Factory, the Imperial Guard, and the Supervisory Department regularly arrange inspections to supervise and expose each other"

".All personnel will be selected with priority given to retired sergeants, and efforts will be made to strengthen the cultural training of the military."

"."

After writing more than twenty pages, Chen Ran finally put down the pen with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

I looked out the window and it was dark.

After leaving the study, he handed the paper in his hand to Liu Youfu and said, "Just follow what is written here."

"Leader!"

When they returned to Duke Weiyuan's Mansion, Qiu Niang and the others had not yet eaten and were waiting for the head of the family to return.

"Forget it, let's eat."

Chen Ran wanted to say, don’t wait for me in the future, just eat by yourselves.

But considering the traditions of this era, it’s better not to say that.

After dinner, according to Qiu Niang's schedule, Li Xiangjun would serve him and let him rest today.

Li Xiangjun was young, but very eloquent, and she felt a little pain from the bump.

Chen Ran simply patted her hair. "The female knight is galloping on her horse, fully automatic cruising."

The big hand turned on the navigation mode, holding Zhenli to assist the girl in autonomous navigation.

It was noon and Chen Ran, feeling extremely tired, stretched lazily and opened his eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, two lines of subtitles floated before my eyes.

'You have modified the decadent and solidified local government exploitation system that has existed for thousands of years, giving the Ming people who were living in dire straits a chance to breathe. You have successfully modified the course of history, and now you will be rewarded.'

'Note: twelve historical deviation values ​​are issued.'

"So many?!" Chen Ran was overjoyed and sat up immediately. All his efforts during this period were not in vain and he finally got rewarded.

The originally tired body was instantly filled with energy!
That’s twelve minutes of self-esteem!
"It's too much, no, it's too much~~~" The girl next to her frowned and talked in her sleep, as if she had dreamed of some terrible scene that was hard to swallow.

After tidying up his bedding, Chen Ran, feeling refreshed, got up and went out.

He is now full of energy and wants to achieve more.

These are all solid guarantees for his good life in the modern world.

Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County, Daxing County, as well as the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Jizhen, Liaozhen, and Dongjiangzhen all experienced an earthquake-like turmoil.

A large number of retired soldiers, under the protection of the soldiers, rushed into various government offices, drove away and arrested the masters, government servants, clerks and clerks, and handed them over to the East Factory for interrogation. If there was something wrong, the East Factory would naturally treat them well, and all kinds of gift bags could be opened and used at will.

You can choose to use the clamp stick board, stew in water or roast over fire.

It’s okay, you won’t need it in the future, so just take the money and go wherever you want.

Chen Ran didn't have the time and energy to sort out who were the good guys and who were the bad guys among so many people in the yamen.

Anyway, given the moral character of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty, they might as well just treat it as Qian Qian's benefit and let it go.

Chen Ran didn't try to preach or persuade them in the hope that they would come to their senses and return to the right path.

The direct approach is to abandon the old Ming system and use new people and new systems to create a new Ming system.

As for how long Xinming can last, Chen Ran has no control over it.

He does what he can do, and future matters will naturally be left to future generations.

He also wants to enjoy life.

In the modern world, Chen Ran came out of the library after looking up information and walked to the roadside to wait for a taxi.

This time I came back to look up information about the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty. It is also time to pay attention to King Chuang and others.

"Go home first and skip the meal. Let's go to Daming World for dinner. Qiu Niang is on duty tonight."

Just as I was thinking about something, I heard the sound of tires rubbing against the road. When I looked up, I saw a cool supercar parked in front of me.

The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face with earrings. "Chen Ran?"

Chen Ran, who had been reading for the whole afternoon, asked with a tired look, "Who are you?"

The scissor door rose up, and the handsome guy got out of the car and stood in front of him.

He is quite tall, almost as tall as Chen Ran.

He has a handsome face and a confident smile on his lips.

Looking at that valuable supercar, he must be very rich.

Confirmed, tall, rich and handsome.

"Meng Yuchen." The handsome guy stretched out his hand. "Ruyan's fiancé."

Chen Ran raised his eyebrows and didn't shake hands. "What's the matter?"

"Please leave Ruyan." Meng Yuchen said in the twilight. "You know, we are a well-matched family marriage, and we are a perfect match in every aspect. As for you..."

At this point, he shook his head confidently, "You are not worthy of Ruyan."

"Interesting." Chen Ran laughed. "I think Liu Ruyan is against this marriage, otherwise you wouldn't come to me."

Meng Yuchen paused for a moment, then put on a confident smile again and said, "Name a price."

I have to say, this guy is very charming, handsome and confident. I think he is the dream boy of many girls.

However, the dream man also requires a good match in terms of social status.

The fairies whose identities and status do not match theirs are basically disposable.

Chen Ran folded his arms and raised his chin slightly. "How much do you think Liu Ruyan is worth?"

Meng Yuchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Ran to be so difficult to deal with. He frowned slightly. "At least you can't afford it. You don't even have a car, how can you afford to support Ruyan? If you really love her, don't delay her. You will only bring her troubles."

"Stop torturing Ruyan. Her family is putting a lot of pressure on her. Please let her go and let her be happy."

Looking at the handsome guy in front of him, Chen Ran smiled and looked at him with contempt, "Stupid guy."

Meng Yuchen, who could no longer maintain his image, finally broke down.

"I've seen a lot of people like you." He looked contemptuous, with a condescending attitude, "When you meet a beautiful, rich, and romantic girl, you think you have the chance to soar to the sky and cross the class barrier."

"She may be in love, but her family and friends will never watch her fall into the abyss!"

Meng Yuchen, who was getting more and more aggressive, gradually slowed down his tone and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "You have no chance. Ruyan can't compete with her family either."

He reached out his wallet, took out a card and handed it over, "Here is five million, as compensation for your company over the years."

After a moment's silence, under Meng Yuchen's gaze, Chen Ran took the bank card with a smile.

Chen Ran casually threw the bank card into the car and clapped his hands. "I usually take a man's money directly. I don't want it for free."

"You have a lot of backbone, but it's a pity that backbone can't replace life." Meng Yuchen pointed at his supercar, then pointed at the passing taxi. "Do you think Ruyan can live with you and take a taxi every day?"

"Car? I have one too."

Chen Ran raised his chin and pointed at the supercar next to him, "How much is your car?"

"Ferrari F12." Meng Yuchen pointed to the bank card thrown into the car with a playful look, "One."

"Oh."

Open the system mall, find the vehicle, and set the search condition to a price of around 10 million.

I picked one priced at 9.2 million and clicked confirm.

"Nah~~~ Ten o'clock? It's just an extra two hundred thousand, and you count it as a small expense? You don't even give me the change? I should have bargained earlier."

Chen Ran was holding back his anger.

The deviation value that was earned with great effort was wasted just because of jealousy.

I didn't want to respond to Meng Yuchen's provocation, but since he was right in front of me, I had to say something.

In a world ruled by law, it is not easy to pull out a goose-feather knife and chop randomly, so you can only start from the places that are important to them.

"Tell me about it." While waiting for the bus, Chen Ran crossed his arms and chatted with Meng Yuchen. "What kind of family conditions are you from? You can tell your class by the moment you open your mouth."

"It's more than you can imagine. At least I never take a taxi."

After chatting for about ten to twenty minutes, Meng Yuchen was already getting impatient when a low roar of an engine came like the waves.

A cool Lamborghini parked on the side of the road.

The car door opened and the manager in a suit and tie got out with a cell phone in his hand.

Comparing the profile picture on the phone, the manager came forward with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chen, your car has arrived. Please sign for it."

After taking out his ID card and completing the formalities, he took away the keys and the blueprint. Chen Ran stepped forward and gestured to the stunned Meng Yuchen about the bank card, "Two for this car."

"Oh, right." Just as she was about to leave, she stopped and whispered in Meng Yuchen's ear, "Five million? Who are you looking down on? As for Ruyan, I have already given her tens of billions of Life Fires."

Meng Yuchen suddenly clenched his fists!
