The evolution of things was completely beyond Yuan Xiang's expectations. After he and Liu Jinge were separated by Deng Ming, his mind was in chaos. He didn't even remember what Deng Ming said later and what happened again.

"It's over, it's over." After the welcome meeting, Yuan Xiang returned to his yamen in a daze. He only had these two words in his mind. His boots were thrown into the stage during the fight. But he had only done it. He had not been willing to wear good leather boots for a day. Now Yuan Xiang was wearing one foot, and the other was short shoes given to him by his subordinates.

When he left his uncle, Yuan Xiang never thought he would become an official, but he always heard from his uncle that the important thing about being an official is to be happy and angry, and to make the people and the people at a glance feel awe. But later Yuan Xiang unexpectedly became an official, unlike what he believed before: he would be a military general for the rest of his life. From that time on, Yuan Xiang had always recalled the official etiquette that his uncle had said. After becoming the prefect of Xuzhou, he even looked for a staff member and called the immigrants from small landlords and rich peasants to ask about their parents' behavior in their hometown.

Today, Yuan Xiang's blood was rising, and he fought with Liu Jinge in public, which ruined the majestic image he had worked hard to create. Although Deng Ming did not blame anything, Yuan Xiang felt ashamed after he woke up. When he saw that Liu Jinge, who was also standing behind Deng Ming, was like him, drooping his head and looking at the ground without saying a word.

Not long after sitting in the yamen, a guard suddenly reported to the visit of the parliamentary. Like the members of the Imperial Parliament, the members of the state of the state of the state of the state are also part-time jobs, including the owner of the business bank, experienced farmer, retired military officer, and the loyal and righteous brothers among the workers. Like those peers who are not members, they spend their main time running their own business or engaging in their own jobs. Only when major events related to the future of the state of the state are not as good as this interception immigration operation, will they gather together to discuss countermeasures.

When the meeting was held, there would naturally be people who would help the MPs run the business; there would be people who would help the MPs who would attend the meeting sort out the farm work, and when the foreman went to the meeting, his fellow scholar boss would also pay wages as usual. This part-time model Deng Ming had been trying to change it many times, and it would be more like the regular parliament he thought, but later Deng Ming gave up several times, because this model seems to be working well now and can also ensure that the people's calls flow to the government through the parliament, so Deng Ming decided to keep an eye on it and not interfere for the time being.

Yuan Xiang gritted the bullet and invited several congressmen in. He thought that he not only had his face lost all his face today, but also the people of the Xuzhou people.

"Master Yuan, this is the new boot we gave you." When several congressmen came in, the leader was still holding a big box. When Yuan Xiang's boots flew down from the stage just now, everyone present could see clearly. After the meeting, the congressmen ran to a leather boss's shop without saying a word and sold the best boots.

The oldest member of parliament was a veteran and a rich peasant under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. On behalf of everyone, he solemnly held the boots and handed them to Yuan Xiang: "Magistrate Yuan, I will kick him hard next time! Don't feel sorry for the boots."

In the next few days, Yuan Xiang received a large number of boots from all walks of life in Xuzhou. All the members of the parliament, whether they had quarrel with Yuan Xiang before or were threatened by Yuan Xiang with a one-on-one challenge, supported him without exception this time.

However, the people of Xuzhou also knew that this time was considered embarrassing. As the face of the mansion and the representative of Xuzhou, the prefect Yuan fought in public, which may make new immigrants doubt the dignity of the government in Xuzhou, and believed that the prefect's office in Xuzhou could not play the role that the government should have, and the prefect himself was even more unreliable.

But even so, the people of Xuzhou still felt that Yuan Xiang was good at fighting. Many people said that they should fight even if it affected their immigration settlement. Liu Jinge ran to the territory of Xuzhou and rushed to the podium built by the people of Xuzhou to compete for the right to speak. How could he retreat at this time? At least it was a breath of anger. Besides, Liu Jinge was also embarrassed, and even if the impact was not good, it would be even.

...

Many of Huang Feigang's friends chose to stay in Xuzhou, and they were unwilling to continue moving forward. Although they heard that Chengdu is good, the environment in Xuzhou has already satisfied them.

After registering with the government of the Xuzhou Prefecture, these immigrants who chose to settle in Xuzhou were reunited with their families. After simple discussions by family members, they sought an errand from a boss who came to recruit workers. The imperial parliament's laws are valid in Chengdu, Xuzhou, Jiadingzhou and other Dengming controlled areas. Therefore, these new immigrants do not have the status of fellow scholars for the time being, and are not veterans, and cannot obtain land for free.

However, most people are not very worried. They are not very clear about the laws of the Imperial Parliament. They only know that many people who have become rich peasants also immigrated to Sichuan two or three years ago. Since so many people have succeeded, these immigrants think they have a great chance to obtain their own land in a few years.

"Magistrate Yuan is a good official," the immigrant group once understood the cause and effect of the armed struggle. This sentence spread among the immigrants. For the wishes of the landlords, merchants and common people under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, they fought with their friends before the crowd... The Southeast Immigrants never dreamed that there would be such an official in the world: "When we have trouble in the future, he will stand up for us, right? We are not afraid of our colleagues, nor are we afraid of angering Shangguan."

Huang Feigang and others decided to continue to move towards Chengdu. Xuzhou is very good, but I heard that Chengdu is more prosperous, and Liu Jinge is also a good official. He came to Xuzhou for the wishes of Chengdu people to smash the venue of his colleagues and friends. After that armed battle, Liu Jinge did not leave, but continued to stay in Xuzhou and continued to assist those Chengdu people in promoting the advantages of Chengdu: "And Duke Baoguo said that freedom of migration is not good in the future, I will come back to join you."

Huang Feigang's friends all said: "Okay, no problem. Even if Brother Huang is a foreshadowing, if Xuzhou is not as good as we think, we will go to the Du Mansion to join Brother Huang."

"One word is certain!"

...

After Liu Jinge returned to Chengdu, he went to report to the Chengdu parliamentary committee. This time the Chengdu parliament collected special taxes to promote himself and competed for immigration with the State of Xia. Although these tasks were done by the prefect, the influence of the Senate was that the Chengdu parliament was quite unfriendly to Liu Jinge, and he was always picky. Before starting the work this time, many people said that Liu Jinge would definitely be perfunctory and wasted the special taxes collected by the parliament.

Liu Jinge's gains this time were not as great as expected. Until he left Chengdu, Chengdu people still did not regard Xuzhou as a serious competitor. Many people's impression of it was the Chengdu branch city and salt production base two years ago. Xuzhou made full use of its geographical advantages and intercepted a large number of new immigrants, and the number was likely to reach or even exceed 40%.

When the house where the nerdy members of the Liu Jinge were waiting, all the staff stood up with the sound of "Magistrate Liu" - many of the people present were members of the Imperial Parliament, who bowed to the Senate and became a habit of scolding Liu Jinge. In the past, when Liu Jinge came to meet the members, these people never stood up to drink Liu Jinge happily in order to show their clear support for the Senate.

The standing MPs also applauded vigorously and cheered Liu Jinge as he walked towards his seat. These people had heard of the armed struggles on the podium in the Xuzhou Province. The Qingcheng faction and other faction bosses in the Senate are old bosses. Because of the deep-rooted concept of loyalty chains, the members of the parliament were respectful to the senators. When they raised the banner of criticizing Liu Jinge, these members would stand under the banner without hesitation.

However, although the chain of loyalty is still there, it is hard to say how much kindness there is in the past. After all, most people are the auxiliary soldiers of the past, and there are not many people when they are bullied. Fighting for immigration is related to the prosperity of Chengdu. Although the members of the parliament here are not necessarily all business owners, they are also leaders in all walks of life, and their social status is basically the upper-middle-level. Liu Jinge's efforts are closely related to their vital interests.

Like a triumphant hero, Liu Jinge was most warmly welcomed in the parliament. When he reported the past of this trip to the parliament, he was interrupted by thunderous applause and cheers again and again, especially when he said he was hitting Yuan Xiang, he had five sentences interrupted by three applauses. Although the fight was basically tied before being interrupted by Deng Ming, the parliaments in Xuzhou and Chengdu both believed that the prefect of their side had gained an absolute advantage.

"It turns out that it's so easy to fight for the parliament." After the fantastic report meeting and returning to his yamen, Liu Jinge found that the morale of the yamen seemed to have improved - Chengdu has been talking about the heroic deeds of Liu Zhifu standing up for Chengdu's power these days. The officials in the yamen felt that their faces were doubled when they heard it - in addition to being a Chengdu native, there was also the one who was a civil servant in the Chengdu yamen.

Liu Tichun has always called Yuan Zongdi "old brother". Yuan Xiang is a little older than Liu Tichun, so Liu Tichun also called Yuan Xiang the old brother.

"It's not easy for my old brother." When people recalled the incident late at night, Liu Jinge secretly expressed such feelings. When there was no condemnation from the parliament and no applause and cheers from them, Liu Jinge remembered his feelings with Yuan Xiang again. If it weren't for the urging of the parliamentarians always sounding in his ears and being irritated by the pressure, Liu Jinge would not go to Xuzhou to fight for immigration, nor would he have a rising heart. When he saw Yuan Xiang, he was red: "This is called 'people are in the world, and they can't help themselves'?"

...

The incident between Liu Jinge and Yuan Xiang was vividly reported to Chen Zuocai, a priest of the imperial MP Geriletu. The latter did not show any interest, but instead commented contemptuously: "They are the officials appointed by the Duke Baoguo, representing the Duke Baoguo's face; Duke Baoguo is a noble of the court, so this is also related to the court's constitution... Humph, it is because Duke Baoguo despises scholars so much that he promotes these martial artists without using virtuous people. Now, he has not only lost all his face, but also implicated the court's constitution. He really deserves to be impeached!"

Chen Zuocai felt that it had nothing to do with him. The main target of the academy was the child. The literacy work of ordinary scholars was completed in batches by the pavilion, and they would not be piled up at the academy headquarters. Some of the students were excellent employees recommended by the business bank to study. These people generally received simple cultural training from the business bank itself. When the business bank had no faculty to continue training, they would send Chen Zuocai to him, but the quota given by the prefect is limited.

As immigration arrives, the pressure on the academy will only be heavier. Chen Zuocai believes in education without distinction. Even if the number of children increases, he will take responsibility. At worst, he will have to participate in a few more classes. As his teaching experience becomes more and more, the academy has also found many methods. At least those professors who used to read for students have been trained by Chen Zuocai. Even if there are more children, the work pressure will not be as heavy as Chen Zuocai's first arrival in Chengdu.

"The words of Jijiu are wrong." Geriletu wanted to correct Chen Zuocai's wrong view.

"Oh? What's Professor Ge's opinion?" Chen Zuocai snorted. A physical education professor dared to refute him on such a high level, which made Chen Zuo feel that the other party was overestimating his abilities. Although Geriletu was not a surname Ge, the title of Professor Ge had spread and was accepted by Geriletu.

"I heard that there were 300,000 young men in this immigration. Even if the pavilion teaches them to read, they still make some profits in taxes." As an imperial MP, Geriletu has already had some preliminary concepts about government revenue and expenditure: "And their wives also have to work, and there are taxes to collect, not to mention that these goods can make money by the merchants and can also draw taxes... If 300,000 strong men and women can be moved, the taxes of the capital can be increased by 20% at once. When they become familiar with the environment, they will get more taxes."

"In other words, can the academy get more funds?" Chen Zuocai didn't know much about this, but he couldn't stand the physical education professor of an imperial council member like Geriletu. Chen Zuocai sent Geriletu several times to ask for funds for the academy after the physical education class. He also seriously asked about the results. Therefore, he was very clear that the prefect of the prefecture and the parliament of the prefecture basically allocated education funds according to the tax ratio, which was about 25% of the tax, including the literacy funds for each pavilion, the education subsidies for the self-run training institutions of each business, and the rest were all given to the academy headquarters.

"Yes." Geriletu nodded desperately: "If the tax revenue increases by 20%, the allocation to the academy will increase by at least 20%, and it will continue to increase in the future. But the prefect of Xuzhou, I want to stop it and not let the people come to Chengdu."

"I have long seen Yuan Xiang look like a thief," Chen Zuocai sneered: "Master Liu is good at fighting."
