There were times when I got tired of reading the storybooks. Yu Zhi felt that she couldn't blame her. It was really the writers of this class who were not good at writing storybooks. They kept writing tacky stories and lacked innovation.

Yu Zhi flipped through the book a few times and then threw it aside the book Wen Jiuxiao bought for her. Just let it be vulgar, let’s have some sexy plot! Just imagine how clean the book Wen Jiuxiao picked is, who?

Can you stand it?

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the book she handed over from Wen Jiuxiao's desk. She picked it up and saw that it was a household registration book, and this was just one of the books.

Forget it, let's pass the time by looking at the household registration book. Yu Zhi leaned on the soft couch and flipped through the household registration book. Halfway through, she realized something was wrong. The male-to-female ratio was too wrong.

Take a small family of six, for example, parents and four children. Three of the four children are sons, and only one is a daughter. This is not an exception. This is generally the case. In this household register,

According to records, almost every household has more boys than girls. Households with more than two daughters account for less than 30% of the total. However, households with more than two sons account for 90% of the total.

A glimpse of one spot tells the whole story. Even if Yu Zhi only read one of the volumes, I believe the same is true for the remaining volumes.

It seems that even if the folk customs in Shanyun County are open and there are not as many red tapes as in the capital, there still exists such a serious preference for boys over girls. The ratio of men to women is imbalanced, there are so few girls, boys cannot marry wives when they grow up, and the population cannot grow.

, and is not conducive to social stability.

Is it because there are fewer baby girls being born? No, but the people are eager to have sons, who can carry on the family line and inherit the incense. Girls cannot, and they will marry into other families when they are raised. Therefore, if the first-born child is a girl, then

Fortunately, most of them will keep her. If the second or third child is still a girl, and the family cannot afford to raise her, she will either drown to death or be thrown directly into the wild. There is no way of escaping death.

If things go on like this, will Shanyun County become the current situation where there are more men than women?

Of course, out of caution, Yu Zhi decided to read all the household registers.

As soon as Yu Zhi got all the household registers, he saw Zhuo Zhengyang hurriedly asking for an audience, "Sir, the prefect has arrived, and he is at the inn now." After a pause, he added, "My subordinates think that he is for Hai.

A thief is here."

Wen Jiuxiao naturally knew the purpose of Fan Huailiang's visit, and had a headache. Aren't there just a few hundred pirates? Is it worth it for the prefect to come in person? It's not that Wen Jiuxiao doesn't welcome him, but that when the prefect comes, some things will not be easy to operate, at least.

It can't be put on the surface.

For example, what was confiscated from Ma's Yan's house. Wen Jiuxiao has now thought about whether to give some to the prefect, and how much is appropriate?

"Prepare your horses and come with me to greet the prefect." Wen Jiuxiao has already arrived, so he can't leave him alone at the inn, so he should welcome him back first. He looked at Yu Zhi, but before he could say anything, Yu Zhi said first:

"You are busy with your business. I will go back to the back. You don't have to worry about me. I promise not to go anywhere. Oh, I asked Mother Jiang and the others to prepare a table of meals. By the way, do you also prepare a jar of wine?"

Wen Jiuxiao originally wanted to say no, just ordinary wine would be fine. Then he thought again, if the prefect drank well, wouldn't things be so troublesome? He then said: "Get ready."

The prefect in the inn did not rest, but walked around and looked around. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. Is this still Shanyun County? When did Shanyun County change drastically?

Fan Huailiang had been to Shanyun County several years ago. The shabby city walls and dusty streets were full of poverty and cramped conditions.

What you see in front of you is quite different. Although you haven't entered the city, you can see the city wall in the distance. It is tall and straight, extending with the mountains and valleys, ups and downs. Let's talk about this inn, you can see that the house has been newly renovated.

Everything was painted white inside and out, including the courtyard walls. The tables, chairs, benches, beds, and even the bedding in the room were all new. The courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs and swept clean.

The subordinate officer who followed was also very surprised, "Sir, the roads in Shanyun County are really well paved." They were widened a lot and covered with a layer of gravel. Even if it rains, the carriage will not sink.

Go into the mud.

Fan Huaidian nodded, "Master Xiao Wen is a capable man." He was filled with emotion! It had only been a few days since Wen Jiuxiao took office, and Shanyun County had already undergone earth-shaking changes! No wonder he was granted a title at a young age. It's incomparable.

Can't compare!

Fan Huailiang was even more determined to make good friends with Wen Jiuxiao, so when Wen Jiuxiao came to greet him, he didn't put on any airs and entered the city hand in hand with Wen Jiuxiao.

Entering the city, the feeling becomes more intuitive. The clean and tidy streets, the shouts of vendors one after another, and the smiles on the faces of pedestrians... The most eye-catching thing is the streets, paved with bluestones and painted with white and yellow lines.

, there are two lanes in the middle for cars and people on both sides, you come and I go, neat and orderly.

Those who followed Fan Huailiang felt that they could not see clearly with their eyes.

When we arrived at the county government office, it was a different scene. I couldn't say what was different, but I just felt that in the county government office, even the old man who was the gatekeeper was extraordinarily well-controlled. Oh, everyone actually spoke Mandarin.

Fan Huailiang...

To be honest, Fan Huailiang didn't believe it when he received the report of meritorious deeds from Shanyun County. Shanyun County is not the only place in Chenzhou and Linhai. Pirates are rampant and brutal. The number of casualties reported to him every year is shocking.

Numbers. Those who have heard of pirates massacring villages have never heard of such exploits.

The pirates had a boat, which was big and fast. They killed people, grabbed things, and fled after getting on the boat. The sea was vast, and the government had nothing to do with them.

There were more than 200 levels of heads before, and a day later, more than 100 levels were added, nearly 400 heads of pirates. Who has such great ability? How is it possible?

Fan Huailiang didn't believe it. However, he couldn't help but be shaken when he thought of Wen Jiuxiao's wolf-like and tiger-like guards when he came back to the state capital. Maybe Mr. Xiaowen really has such a great ability? That's why he came to Shanyun County.

During this trip, he wanted to see the pirate's head with his own eyes to see if it was real or fake. Only after seeing it would he report it to the court.

Fan Huailiang saw the heads of pirates piled up into a hill on the beach. The weather was too hot, and even if they had been pickled with lime, they still emitted a rotten smell. Fan Huailiang almost vomited, so he covered his mouth and nose and took a few quick glances.

And left.

As for the people who came with him, they were so disgusted that they vomited out the last night's meal. At the reception banquet... Forget it, I can't even mention this. They all felt nauseated after seeing meat, as if a woman was pregnant. It was so embarrassing.
