A cold light flashed in Guo Zhiyuan's eyes, but he didn't attack immediately, he turned his head and smiled at the county Cheng Baidu on the side: "Bai Xiancheng, this county asked you to notify all the office staff of the county government to come to discuss the matter, have you ever notified it in place?" ……”

Before Bai Du could speak, Wang Demin on the side rushed to answer: "Lord Guo doesn't know, many personnel of the county government are out on business today, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to notify them in place for a while, and only these people can come!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's eyes were even more cold, he glanced at Wang Demin, and said coldly: "Master Wang, this county asks you, this county took office today, presumably the prefect yamen has informed in advance that these people know that the county is still out on business today, are they busy with official business, or do they have no eyes on the county?!" ……”

"......Forehead" Wang Demin was choked half to death by Guo Zhiyuan, and these people who did not come to the meeting were naturally sent out by him to give Guo Zhiyuan a dismount, but he didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan's words to be so sharp, and he directly buttoned down a hat that had no eyes in the county, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to turn his eyes for help to Baidu.

Bai Du secretly scolded Wang Demin for being really stupid, isn't it a small move on Guo Zhiyuan's first day of office to give the handle to others? However, since he and Wang De* are in hand, he naturally has to be consistent with the outside world at this time, so he has to help Yuanchang and say: "Your Excellency took office today, the prefect Yamen did inform them in advance, and the lower officials and Lord Wang have also arranged the welcome matters in advance, but early this morning, there was a sudden mob besieging the county government, and the welcoming ceremony could only be canceled, and Lord Wang sent people to inform the squires and elders who were going to come to the welcoming ceremony, so they were absent, and the lower officials have sent people to inform them to come back quickly to discuss the matter, and it must be almost there......"

"Oh!" Guo Zhiyuan nodded expressionlessly and said: "Since this is the case, the official will give them another pillar of incense time, if the time for a pillar of incense is still not up, the official will not be able to ask them a crime of contempt for the official!" Fazheng, burn incense! ……”

Wang Demin saw that Guo Zhiyuan's posture was about to move seriously, and hurriedly glanced at a few officials in the court, and those officials hurriedly ran to inform the officials who did not come to the meeting.

Of course, those officials who didn't come to the meeting didn't go to do errands, they were all at home, which is also an old habit. So it didn't take long for everyone else to arrive, except for the inspection of Chen Xiaodong (Chen Xiaodong was timid, worried that Guo Zhiyuan would be held accountable if he was beaten to death by the mob, and ran to dozens of miles away with the team to practice, but he was not notified), and when Lu Zhichao came in, he greeted the others as usual, and when he saw Guo Zhiyuan's sharp gaze, he realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere today, and he quickly sat down honestly.

Guo Zhiyuan saw that the people were almost here, glanced around majestically, and said loudly: "This county has been blessed with the grace of the saints, and it has been appointed as the order of Gutian County, and it will be in the same boat with you in the future, and it will be the official for one term, when it benefits one party, it will live up to the grace of the saints, and the court trusts, and I hope that you will work together with the officials to make great efforts to revitalize Gutian, so that the people of Gutian can have their houses, and the cultivators can have their fields, live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate......"

This is Guo Zhiyuan's inaugural speech, and it is also his true thoughts, but the officials below him are pouting when they hear it, it seems that this new county magistrate is also a mouthful, full of official articles, and the previous county magistrates from Jinshi are not also very good? turned out to be a beautiful and beautiful place, leaving with his tail between his legs, it seems that this person will not stay long in Gutian!

Guo Zhiyuan didn't seem to notice everyone's expressions, and after delivering his inaugural speech, he turned his head to Bai Du and asked: "Bai Xiancheng, I don't know what the people are doing to besiege the county government today?" ……”

Bai Du knew that Guo Zhiyuan would ask about this matter, and this idea was originally from him, so he naturally wouldn't answer, so he immediately kicked the ball to Wang Demin: "Back to my lord, this official doesn't care about money and food, this matter is clearer than that of the lower official, my lord should ask him......

Wang Demin was waiting for this sentence, although Guo Zhiyuan used a musket to temporarily suppress the people who surrounded the county government just now, but the matter was not solved, this hot potato finally had to be handed over to Guo Zhiyuan, so he didn't wait for Guo Zhiyuan to ask him again, so he preemptively said: "My lord, the lower official is about to report, now the county government is very tight on money and grain, and he can't make ends meet, and the lower official is in charge of the county's money and grain, and he often feels powerless. At the beginning of this year, there was a heavy rain, and the county government collapsed in many places, so it had to be repaired, but the cost of this repair was nowhere to be spent, and it has not been paid so far, and this year's disaster relief and poverty alleviation funds have not been allocated by the prefect's yamen......

"In previous years, these payments were cheekily went to the prefect's yamen to grind and blister, how much can be begged for some, in order to barely maintain, now the magistrate is here, the lower officials are inconvenient to go to the prefect's yamen to beg for it, please prefect yamen as soon as possible to allocate money and grain, otherwise the people of Gutian County are fierce, there are many people who do not obey the king, if it causes a civil uprising, it will not be good......"

Before his words fell, Gu Zhiqian, the teacher, also hurriedly stood up and said: "Speaking of this money and food, the old man also has some things to report to the adults, the county's teachings, instructors and professors of the six disciplines have not been issued for two months, and the teachers and students have no intention of studying......"

When the leaders of the third shift and the servants in the hall heard this, they also shouted: "Yes, we haven't received the money for more than two months, and if it goes on like this, the family can't open the pot, who wants to be an errand!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's eyes flashed, he naturally knew that these people were deliberately uniting to force the palace on him, but he was not good at attacking, the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, if these subordinate officials and servants couldn't even receive money, how could they be expected to do their best? But for a while, he couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the more than 1,000 taels of silver he brought with him when he left Beijing had been spent almost along the way, even if he wanted to take out the money to pay in advance, he couldn't take it out, as for Wang Demin said that he should go to the prefect's yamen in person to ask for it, don't even think about it, Huang Sihua didn't deliberately make things difficult anymore, he has already given his father Guo Zhengyu enough face, and it is simply wishful thinking to get money from the prefect's yamen!

Wang Demin is precisely aware of this, so he used the problem of money and food to force Guo Zhiyuan to the palace, there is no money in his pocket, and his waist is not hard, the reason why those officials and officials who are angry with Wang Demin in the same nostril listen to Wang Demin is because Wang Demin has Huang Yihua as a backer and can get money and food from the prefect's yamen, if Guo Zhiyuan can't solve this problem, no one will listen to him, not only will he be hollowed, but he won't even have a foothold!
