Therefore, at this time, Guo Zhiyuan must not be cowardly, and snorted majestically: "Don't be impatient, the money and food problem will be solved!" But before that, the official must first understand the financial situation of the county government, Wang Zhushu, since you are in charge of the county's money and grain, you must have account books to read! ……”

Wang Demin had already prepared, unhurriedly took out an account book from his arms and handed it over, and said arrogantly: "This official is in charge of the county's money and grain, and he has always been innocent, the accounts are clear, and there is no such thing as filling his pockets, and adults can check it at any time!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan took the account book and read it carefully, looking at it and frowning, although he is not a professional financial person, but the account book can still be understood, and Wang Demin took out the general account book, the recorded data is not much, he is naturally easy to understand, what surprised him is that according to the general account book records taken out by Wang Demin, the finance of Gutian County is completely empty, not only does not have half a penny of surplus money, but also owes a lot of foreign debts!

Although Guo Zhiyuan knew that Gutian County was very poor, but he was unexpectedly poor like this, but he didn't have a seizure immediately, after all, he didn't have any evidence to prove that Wang Demin had embezzled public funds and filled his pockets, looking at Wang Demin's self-confident appearance, it was not easy for him to find his handle from this general account book, and he would only startle the snake if he got angry rashly, so he just silently closed the account book, frowned and asked Wang Demin: "Lord Wang, is the county's money and grain really so tight?" Don't even have half a penny to spare? ……”

Wang Demin knew that Guo Zhiyuan would ask this, and replied with a sneer: "Lord Guo is from the capital, and it is inevitable that he does not understand the situation of our Gutian County, a remote and poor place like our Gutian can not be compared with the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, Gutian's finances have always been beyond his means, and he has always relied on the imperial court for relief, and this was the case when I took over the post of the chief bookkeeper. The official also had to make up some private subsidies, and for this reason my wife often quarreled with me......"

Guo Zhiyuan sneered secretly, Wang Demin didn't say this, he was just suspicious, hearing Wang Demin say this, he was almost sure that there was something wrong with Wang Demin! Looking at this Wang Demin's oily face, where does he look like a person who will use private money to subsidize the public? If Wang Demin is really so selfless and selfless, it will be Hai Rui's turn to leave a name for the ages?

Since he was sure that Wang Demin had a problem, Guo Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to attack, nodded at Wang Demin, and said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing for Lord Wang, Gutian County can have such a selfless official as Lord Wang, it is really a blessing for the court and the people!" We should all follow the example of Lord Wang and learn from him! ……”

Wang Demin was stunned when he saw that Guo Zhiyuan was not only not angry, but praised himself, but he finally fooled Guo Zhiyuan, so he didn't say anything. And the officials under the hall laughed even more, if Wang Demin is selfless, then there are no corrupt officials in Gutian County, where did the Wang family's big mansion come from? This new county magistrate is really a straw bag, and he was fooled by Wang Demin so easily!

Guo Zhiyuan smiled as if he was unconscious and continued: "The matter of money and grain, this county will try to solve it, and I will not discuss it today, this county has just arrived, and I don't know anything about the situation in the county, I don't know what achievements can be made in the actual household registration, tax collection, average service, water conservancy, persuasion of farmers, leading the army, eliminating thieves, running schools, degrading the people, relieving exiles, helping the poor, and deciding prison lawsuits?" Why do you teach me? ……”

It should be said that Guo Zhiyuan has done his homework, and the question he asked covers almost all aspects of the county's governance, so the officials who originally thought that Guo Zhiyuan had some straw bags were all distracted and sat up straight, but no one took the initiative to answer.

No one answered, so Guo Zhiyuan had no choice but to name him, nodded at Bai Du on the side and said, "Bai Xiancheng, you can talk about it first......

Bai Du has been secretly observing Guo Zhiyuan's new county order, when he first saw Guo Zhiyuan, he saw that Guo Zhiyuan was so young and inevitably a little contemptuous, but looking at his words, his demeanor was with a kind of old and steady that did not match his age at all, especially when Wang Demin took out the general account book and told Guo Zhiyuan that the county finance is now poor and white, not only does not even have a copper plate, but also owes a butt of foreign debts, Guo Zhiyuan not only did not get angry, but praised Wang Demin for his selflessness, if such a city government appears in an old bureaucrat, it is normal, But it's a bit scary to appear on a young man like Guo Zhiyuan!

Therefore, Baidu also put away his contempt, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, the main responsibility of this county is to assist the county commander in managing the county government, because the county order has been changed repeatedly, the official is also a little at a loss, coupled with limited ability, no achievements, it is really ashamed to be very ......ashamed."

"In addition, this official is also in charge of the lawsuit, but because of the rampant banditry in the county, the chaos of public security, in the past three years, the county's thief cases, prison lawsuits, every year has doubled compared with the previous year, and now there is still a large backlog ......of cases, either can not be solved, or can not arrest the criminals, this official is really more than enough and insufficient, there is dereliction of duty, please punish the adults" Speaking of this, Bai Du also glared at Lu Zhichao fiercely, the county is also in charge of the lawsuit, in modern words, the history is the director of the public security bureau, and the county is the secretary of the political and legal committee, is the top boss of the classic history, but Lu Zhichao and Wang Demin wear a pair of pants and don't listen to him at all, which makes him very depressed.

Guo Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this, this Baidu was at a loss, and his limited ability pushed the responsibility cleanly, it seems that he is also very cunning, and he can't really punish Baidu, the county is the second-in-command in the county, and his status is only slightly lower than his county order, and Baidu is from a high background, and the grade may still be above his nine-grade county order, if he really wants to tear his face and do it with him, he has nothing to do with him.

However, he also noticed Bai Du's small action of glaring at Lu Zhichao, and his heart couldn't help but move, what he was most afraid of was that these original officials in Gutian County would unite to fight against him, then he would have to be blind no matter how capable he was, after all, he also needed someone to help him do things, and it was impossible to replace all these people, as long as they were not monolithic, he could divide them and break them all!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand to Bai Du and said: "Bai County has said it, the repeated changes of the post of Gutian County Commander show that this Gutian County is indeed difficult to govern, and the government decree is difficult to implement......
