Chapter 637
After that, everyone discussed the details of the founding of the country, and finally decided to formally establish the country on March [-] next year.

Therefore, during this year, Hengshan will start to carry out a series of reforms to completely consolidate the grassland and Yanzhou before the founding of the country.The construction of the imperial palace was also put on the agenda during the meeting, and the capital of the country was also determined to be Huayuan City.

After the meeting ended, Hengshan immediately announced the results of the meeting.

The news that Hengshan was preparing to establish a country immediately spread across the world.It was just a rumor before, but now it has become a reality.Countless scholars from outside couldn't help but start to think about whether to join Hengshan or the Cao family's forces?This will directly affect your future prospects.The more gentry could not calm down anymore. Hengshan established the country. If these gentry could not gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty, they would be completely marginalized.The emerging dignitaries in Hengshan will replace them and become the mainstay of the new dynasty.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Compared with the worries of the gentry, the upstarts in the Hengshan system are immediately excited. They have waited for so long, and finally they can get their names rectified.If Hengshan does not establish a country, they are just subjects of the Duke and Lord, without titles or honors.But if Hengshan establishes a country, they will be the dignitaries of the new dynasty, and they will be able to increase their ranks and enshrine their wives and sons.

Although Lin Yifan is quite dissatisfied with these, he also knows that not everyone is a sage who wholeheartedly serves the country and the people.It's no problem if you want to be promoted, as long as you do things well, there are plenty of ways to get promoted.But if you dare to break the law and discipline, then don't blame the law for being ruthless.

Lin Yifan, who was free, suddenly thought of what he had said to Luo Feng in the army before, so he immediately went to the Women's Administration Office.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw the courtyard full of warblers and swallows, chirping and buzzing.When everyone saw Lin Yifan, they all stopped to welcome him.

Lin Yifan smiled embarrassingly, "Haha, you are busy with your work, I will look for Lin Shuwan."

"My lord, the Director is not here." At this time, a female officer whispered.

"Oh, not here?" Lin Yifan couldn't help being surprised, "Then where did she go?"

"My lord, the director has already taken people to Shijiazhuang outside the city to deal with important matters."

"Important matter, what is she going to do?" Lin Yifan frowned when he heard this.

"My lord, the director received a report saying that it was a nobleman from Shijiazhuang. Because Mr. Shi fell in love with a peasant girl, he secretly ordered his subordinates to force that peasant family into bankruptcy and had to marry his daughter The Shi family. After the director learned about it, he led his people to rob him." The female officer said eloquently.

Lin Yifan's expression darkened immediately. Under his rectification, the gentry had already restrained themselves quite a bit.Unexpectedly, there are still people who know the law and break the law, provoking Hengshan's bottom line.

"Dali, let's go to Shijiazhuang."

Shijiazhuang is located thirty miles north of the city, in a small depression in the remaining vein of Huashan Mountain.

When Lin Yifan and others arrived, they saw a group of people gathered on the way, bustling and arguing non-stop.

When Lin Yifan approached, he heard a female voice inside yelling: "Today, if you don't want to let go, you have to let go. My Women's Political Bureau has the right to order you to surrender."

When Lin Yifan heard it, he immediately recognized that the owner of the voice was Lin Shuwan.

At this time, I heard a male voice say: "Master Lin, you are an official, and the villain is the people. Now that the Lord of the country governs the people by law, what is the crime for us to act according to the law? Since you are an official, you should obey the law." Law enforcement, how can you do anything wrong here? If you persecute the little people again and again, even if the little people are willing to give up their lives, they will sue you."

"Okay, you go and sue, I want to see whose crime is being punished by the law of Hengshan." Lin Shuwan snorted coldly.

Taking advantage of the quarrel inside, Lin Yifan sneaked into the crowd, patted one of the onlookers on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what happened inside?"

The uncle looked back and saw that it was a young master asking, and immediately said politely: "This young master doesn't know, the reason for this is because the second young master of the Shi family wanted to take a peasant girl as his concubine. The trick forced the woman's family to go bankrupt. The second son took the opportunity to put pressure on the woman's family, as long as the old man Wu married his daughter into the Wu family, he would be exempted from his debts. The old man Wu had no choice but to agree to send his daughter to the Wu family. Go to the Shi family. Alas, the second young master of the Shi family is a well-known libertine. If this daughter of the Wu family marries, I'm afraid she won't have a good life."

Lin Yifan frowned slightly. He did not expect that under Hengshan's high-handed policy, there would still be some gentry children who did not know how to restrain themselves and dared to touch Hengshan's bottom line.However, this time they became smarter, and they changed forced marriage to forced marriage. This difference of one word actually took advantage of the loopholes in Hengshan's legal system.If the two parties signed a matchmaking document and went to the government to receive the marriage certificate, even the government has no right to interfere in the family affairs of both parties.

"Why did that female officer come here?" Lin Yifan continued to ask.

"Oh, this lady is really anxious for justice." The uncle sighed, "After learning about this, he rushed over immediately to prevent the second son of the Shi family from obtaining the marriage certificate. That's why this scene happened. "

Only then did Lin Yifan suddenly realize, and after pondering for a while, he immediately decided to check the situation first before making a decision.

Opposite Lin Shuwan was a young man who had been emaciated and pale due to alcohol, lust and wealth, and next to him was a middle-aged man in green clothes. It was he who confronted Lin Shuwan just now.

I saw the middle-aged man in green shirt took a matchmaking letter from the young master, waved it in front of Lin Shuwan, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, do you recognize this matchmaking letter? Now this marriage has been obtained by two people." Everyone agrees. According to Hengshan's system, the government has no right to interfere. I hope that you can stop in time, so as not to violate Hengshan's rules."

"This is a conspiracy and trick by you to force the Wu family to sign." Lin Shuwan stared angrily and said angrily.

"Okay, since your lord doesn't believe me, let's invite the Wu family to confront him." The middle-aged man in the green shirt still looked like he was sure of winning.

Immediately, behind them, a group of young and old in ragged clothes walked over tremblingly, their heads bowed in bewilderment.

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt looked at the group of people with a smile, and asked kindly: "Old man Wu, tell me, did Zhu'er marry my young master voluntarily? Is the matchmaking book signed by our two families true?" of?"

The old man Wu raised his head slightly, glanced at Lin Shuwan carefully, then quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Yes, yes."

"Very good." The middle-aged man in the green shirt turned his head and glanced at Lin Shuwan proudly, and then looked at a young girl beside old man Wu, "Zhu'er, would you like to marry my young master?"

The girl named Zhu'er couldn't help but shake when she heard the words, her hands tightly held onto her father's arm, she bowed her head and said nothing.

At this time, the young master who had been silent all this time coughed lightly, and looked at Zhu'er dissatisfied, "Zhu'er, I like you sincerely, as long as you marry into my family, you can enjoy rich clothes and fine food. Your family also If the debt can be paid off, a few acres of my family’s land can also be allocated to your family to cultivate. You should take good care of such a good condition.”

When Zhu'er heard this, her tears immediately fell like broken beads. "Pearl, Pearl wishes..."

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a very abrupt voice sounded from the crowd.
