Synopsis

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, the old man knew he was an ignorant bumpkin and couldn't be bothered to explain. He simply held out his large, calloused hand.

"Pay up!"

"Pay for what?"

"You damaged public property without permission. The fine is fifty copper coins!"

"What gives you the right to collect money?"

"What gives me the right?"

The old man pointed at the two large characters on the front of his clothes. "Can you read these two characters?"

Li Shimin said, "Yes. The one on the right says 'city,' and the one on the left says 'management.'"

The old man said smugly, "You're a scholar, and you can read those characters. Surely you know what they mean!"

Li Shimin shook his head. He really had no idea what this meant, and he suspected other scholars might not know either.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head and explained, "City management means managing the city. What does that involve? First, environmental sanitation. Second, public facilities. Third, public order and good morals. Fourth, street vendors. Fifth, illegal parking and dumping things wherever you please."
