"Going down there to inspect the situation?" Wen Shen's heart moved, and he felt that it was really okay, even if Yang Jie wanted to force himself to apply for funding from above as soon as possible, he could also deduce that he had to understand the situation of the entire Yang County first, and he had to do some governance work first.

With Liu Xian's explanation to him, the distress on his face dissipated a lot.

"What about the situation in the county? Today, Wen is paying attention to the situation of Yang Jie, the county commander, so there is no way to carry out a lot of work. Wen Shen thought that now Yang's County is really in ruins, and all aspects of things have not been done, and now Liu Xian is still giving soup and food, so that the people of Yang's County have to continue their lives. Only then did he feel his uselessness, he had been in Yangshi County for so many days, and he really couldn't do anything except watch many people starve to death every day.

Now, he would not expect the county commander Yang Jie and the officials he appointed to do their job obligations in their official duties.

Liu Xian waited for Wen Shen to ask this.

Liu Xian said to him: "Master Wen, I am afraid that you will not be able to carry out the work of Yang's County." Now in the entire Yang County, except for you, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant of Brother Wang Bao, the rest of the officials are all Yang Jie's people, do you think you can mobilize them to do things? And you hire someone else to do the work, this ......"

Liu Xian paused and said, "This should be different from Wang Bao's situation of recruiting two hundred officers and soldiers of the county government government, right?" Wang Bao could have commanded 200 officers and soldiers, and these officers and soldiers would be included in the establishment of officers and soldiers in the county government, and the government would have paid food. However, the staff you personally hired are not included in the official establishment of the government, and there is no official salary, so they should not work for you in vain, right? At the very least, you have to provide them with food and drink. Can you afford it? ”

When Wen Shen heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his head a little, he personally paid to hire a group of people to do the affairs of the government? If he is a rich landlord, he can take out a large amount of money and grain at will, and he really has no problem with this, but the problem is that he is also poor now.

That's right, now he got 500,000 catties of grain from the county commander Yang Jie, but these grains are not his, it should be said that Liu Xian's. It's not that he can't use some of it, but he has to pay it back.

This is also the reason why Liu Xian wrote the contract with Wen Shen at that time. Liu Xian would buy the grain at the normal market price, and if he could not buy it with money, he would return the same amount of grain to the government for three years.

In this way, even Wenshen and Wang Bao can't call these grains casually.

It's okay to call, but you have to pay it back.

Wang Bao can be called, and there is no problem with this, because the government itself has to give Wang Bao 200 officers and soldiers food. Wang Bao called, and Wang Bao didn't have to earn his own pocket. But he couldn't.

Wen Shen was in trouble, and he couldn't mobilize the big and small officials appointed by Yang Jie. So what else can he do in this Yang County?

That's right, as a county minister, he is mainly in charge of the county's documents and archives, warehouses, grain and horses, taxation, and so on. However, there were no directly available people under him, and there was originally a miscellaneous official who coerced the county to help the county office. The problem is that now this clerk is all appointed by Yang Jie's county order.

Otherwise, Wen Shen would not be alone now, and there would definitely be a "book" to accompany him to assist Wen Shen, the prime minister, in some affairs.

Wen Shen suddenly blushed a little, Liu Xian wiped out these scholars in Yang's County at once, if he had more than 100 scholars available, then why was he afraid that Yang's County would not be well governed? It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to support more than 100 scholars.

However, he was a little learned and sold, his eyes rolled, and he said to Liu Xian: "Brother Liu Xian, now Brother Wen and I are in trouble." Seriously, if Yang County can't be governed well, I don't know if the county will be governed by Yang Jie's crimes, but my county must be the end. How about we discuss? ”

"Lord Wen, do we still need to be polite? It doesn't hurt to say what you have in mind. Liu Xian knew a little, but he didn't point it out, and deliberately asked Wen Shen to say it himself.

"That's right, you see, you have gathered all these scholars from Yang's County together. They shouldn't be able to do anything now, so why don't you lend them to me first? Wen Shen said cheekily.

"Lend it to you? Yes, but I just announced to them that they will follow me Liu Xian in the future, and they can all eat dried food, be full, and there will be vegetables and meat. Master Wen, you borrowed them, so I shouldn't have to provide them with food and drink, right? ”

"What? Eat dried food and still have vegetables and meat? Wen Shen was dumbfounded, if he really came according to this standard, how could he afford to supply? I'm afraid I can't afford to raise so many people if I sell him.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Lord Wen, with our friendship, how can we really let you bear their food and drink?" Just kidding you. In fact, I recruited them together to deal with the problem of Yangshi County. ”

"Oh? You? It was difficult for Wen Shen to understand the meaning of Liu Xian's actions.

Because of the governance of Yangshi County, it seems that Liu Xianlai is not worried about it, and it is not up to Liu Xianlai to interfere. After all, Liu Xian is not from the government at all.

Liu Xian looked at Wen Shen with great meaning and said, "Lord Wen, shouldn't you have forgotten what I told you before?" Since you came to this Yang County, it has been a war, a war to the death. Do you think that you and Yang Jie, the county magistrate, can coexist in peace and nothing in the future? Getting food from them was only the beginning of this war. It is believed that soon, the war between you will sharpen until the end, and only one side will survive. ”

Wen Shen was shocked, and he realized that this was exactly the case. Now, if the county commander Yang Jie can't get the huge amount of money he told them, then Yang Jie will let him go?

I have fallen into Liu Xian's calculations from the beginning. Of course, he also knew very well in his heart that in fact, what Liu Xian said was also the same truth, because the moment he came to Yangshi County, there was indeed no way out.

"Okay, I haven't forgotten, and I understand, now Wen has also boarded your thief ship. Tell me directly about the purpose of recruiting these readers. Wen Shen had no choice, now he could really only hug Liu Xian's thigh.
