To be honest, when Wang Shou saw the more than 100 people who were dragged by the new county commander, he was desperate in his heart.

Since he himself has brought so many people, what else do you want him to do in this county?

It is said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, and now the original county lord Yangren has just stepped down, and it seems that he may not be able to do it for too long.

Despite this, he still pulled out a smiling face: "Greetings to the county master." ”

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Besides, Zhang You didn't get rid of his thoughts, after all, he was a newcomer, and he had a local old man to assist him, so he would save a lot of trouble.

Thinking about it like this, the title became much more enthusiastic: "I don't know how to call Qing?" ”

Wang Shou arched his hand and replied: "Xiaguan Wang Shou, the word white turtle, the position of Tianju County." ”

In the Han Dynasty, many people would also use animals as their own characters, such as the white rabbit.

The turtle has the meaning of longevity, which echoes the longevity in his name.

Zhang You frowned slightly, and asked, "What about the others?" ”

As far as he knows, it shouldn't be time to get off work yet, and it stands to reason that he is not the only one in the county office.

"This..."

Looking at Wang Shou's slightly embarrassed expression, he didn't know what was going on.

As the saying goes, the new official has three fires in office, and before he can do it, this group of local snakes will give themselves a horse.

It's really tolerable, but Zhang You didn't have a seizure right away, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win all battles, and there is such a person around him at this time, so he naturally has to make good use of it.

He said quietly: "This county has just arrived, and I don't know much about Houqiu, so this time I have to bother Wang Xiancheng to mention a little bit or two." ”

Wang Shou gave up his hand and didn't dare to do it.

Houqiu County is relatively wealthy, and the specifications of the county government are slightly larger than those of ordinary county offices, but they can settle the more than 100 people under Zhang You.

After a simple repair, Zhang You invited the county Cheng Wangshou.

"I just saw that the county Cheng was talking hesitantly, it seems that there is a hidden secret?"

The facts did not surprise Zhang You, the original county magistrate of Houqiu County was named Yangren, and he was known as the first gentry in Houqiu County.

The gentry is different from the family, the gentry is similar to the local tyrants of later generations, and the family is analogous to the scholarly family.

To put it simply, what distinguishes the two is not the size of the force, but a heritage and a heritage.

Originally, the magistrate of Yangren County was very good, but Taishou suddenly ordered his official position to be removed and replaced by an outsider, so he was naturally angry in his heart.

In this way, he united all the county officials and decided to give Zhang You, the new county magistrate, a dismissal, so that Zhang You could know who was the real ruler here.

Zhang You glanced at Wang Shou under the seat with a little strangeness: "Then why..."

Zhang You wanted to ask why you were a traitor, but thinking about this person after all, this person was close to him, and saying this would inevitably embarrass his face.

Although he didn't say everything, Wang Shou understood and replied: "I am different from others, they are all from proud gentry families, even if they are not subordinate officials, they are fine, the lower officials are poor, and they have widowed mothers to support, and they also need these to make ends meet." ”

Zhang You nodded, as early as when he was in Tancheng, he had already received the guidance of Taishou Changxuan, and he was not surprised at this time.

He was a businessman in his previous life, and he encountered many similar problems in the business field, and the simplest and most effective way is nothing more than to support a group and suppress a group.

Since Wang Shou was the first person to get close to him, he naturally belonged to the object of support, and he immediately said: "Inform me, tomorrow and every hour, once every other minute, once less than one month, two times less than three months, three times still not enough, immediately dismissed." ”

"Any vacancy, as long as there is no bad record, you can sign up for the competition and select the best."

Zhang You's group of people is actually enough to support the operation of the entire county government, but he did not choose to do so.

The purpose of coming here is not to be a county official, as Xu Shu said, where there is Lu Bu, he can't show himself, and if he leaves Lu Bu, it is a fish into the sea and a bird into the forest.

For him, Houqiu County only represents a supply area, and his real battlefield is in these countless hills.

Wang Shou said excitedly: "Yes." ”

He keenly captured the message released by Zhang You.

"He doesn't plan to let these people he brought to serve, so my position as the county leader should be kept."

With a mere humble body, surrounded by many gentry, he still sits firmly in the position of the second-in-command in the county, which means that Wang Shou has certain means.

Zhang You picked up the teacup and took a sip, Wang Shou understood, got up and said goodbye: "The lower official will be informed." ”

"Go ahead."

When Wang Shou completely retreated, Xu Shu on the side spoke: "Fang Caishu checked the county records and found some interesting things, Houqiu County has a registered population of more than 35,000, of which more than 5,300 are young and strong. ”

At first glance, there didn't seem to be any problem, Zhang You thought about it carefully, and finally reacted: "This thick hill, there will be a war in the near future?" ”

Xu Shu replied with a smile: "None." ”

"Has anyone ever come to recruit soldiers?"

"None."

"The number of young and strong people is too small."

Xu Shu opened his mouth and replied: "It is nothing more than one possibility, that is, the gentry from all over the country concealed the population. ”

Zhang You nodded, concealing the number of young and strong people can be regarded as a means of tax evasion, and the gentry everywhere are more or less hidden, which is also the norm, as long as it is not excessive, it is generally left to it.

In terms of the normal proportion of young and strong, these gentry have concealed four thousand young and strong people.

The situation seems to be trickier than you think.

A county hides 1,200 young people, which can be said to be tax evasion. Concealing 4,000 at once, the nature is very different, and if you want to rebel, can't you?

No wonder Chang Feng gave himself this idea at that time, Houqiu County is different from Xiapi, which has not experienced Cao Cao's slaughter, and the strength of the gentry here is far stronger than those families in Xiapi City.

That Wang Shou has been a county official for so long, and he obviously knows about this matter. There was no mention of it before, obviously, in his opinion, if Zhang You moved this thought, he was afraid that he would be a heel.

Zhang You opened his mouth and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shu obviously had a case in his heart: "Maybe these people do hide a lot of young people, and most of them must be just some unarmed farmers." ”

Xu Shu first denied the possibility that they were going to rebel, and then continued: "Since it is not for rebellion, it can only be for profit." Shu has some ideas in his heart, but everything depends on tomorrow. ”

Zhang You nodded: "This time I am tired, I must be tired, Yuan Zhi might as well go and rest first, there is still a good show to be performed tomorrow." ”
