finally came to Taishou Mansion, Geng Xiaofan was even more disappointed.

Although it can be seen at a glance that the Taishou Mansion has just been renovated, it is really too simple. Not even his Gengjiazhuang! Geng Xiaofan feels that he has a "long way to go"!

The county of Funai, Changshi, Don't drive, and Gong Cao, etc., greeted him with "enthusiasm" in the rules and regulations.

But Geng Xiaofan lost a little mood after entering the city, and after meeting everyone according to the courtesy, he gave a light order and went back to the inner hall to clean up.

"I only knew that I was poor, but I didn't expect to be so poor! It's going to make Madame suffer. Geng Xiaofan saw that Liu Fei'er was directing her family to unload the car and settle it, and said embarrassedly.

"Husband, I'm fine, but it's just bitter Heping, I'm afraid she's never been to such a poor place." Liu Fei'er sighed.

"Mother, if you can live, I can live." Hahei is very well-behaved, and she doesn't want her in-laws to worry about herself.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Geng Xiaofan began to plan how to clean up the room.

A person who looked like a county magistrate bowed down and ran over quickly, "My lord, the small county is barren, I hope you Haihan." Where you are not satisfied, you will try your best to change it. ”

"You're a frustrated Yang Order?" Geng Xiaofan didn't expect Frustrated Yang Ling to break into the back hall, and he was a little angry.

"He Zheng, the lower official frustration order!" Frustrated Yang Ling hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"Follow me!" Geng Xiaofan walked out without saying a word.

"Let me ask you, what happened to the people who entered the city today?"

"This, Shangguan is coming, and the people are looking forward to welcoming him?" He Xianling didn't know why Geng Xiaofan suddenly asked this question.

"Kamiya has always had this kind of rule?"

"Yes, but it's not ......," He Zheng carefully tried to explain.

"Whether there was one or not, it will be gone! The people are so poor that you are embarrassed to increase their burdens? Geng Xiaofan interrupted him angrily and went straight to the second hall.

Since Frustrated Yang Ling "threw himself into the net", Geng Xiaofan took him by the way and questioned his official reputation and character.

"How much land is frustrated, how many households are there, and how much is the annual tax ......" After taking his seat, Geng Xiaofan was not polite and asked directly.

He Zheng was startled, quickly got up and saluted, and returned one by one.

Geng Xiaofan listened and nodded secretly, the "foundation" of this county order is still clear.

"There are bandits in the county, how many prisons are broken every year?" Geng Xiaofan asked again, and He Zheng was silent.

"What? What's so hard to say? ”

"Nope! Adults don't know that Shanggu is different from Guannei, not only Han people, but also Huns, Wuhuan and other Hu people live together, and it is inevitable that there will be some murderers. However, rest assured, there are many Han people in the county, the people are simple, and there have been no lawsuits and prisons for many years. ”

"Really?" Geng Xiaofan didn't believe it. The poorer the place, the worse the public security. Even if it is a wealthy Maoling, there are as many as 100 prison breaks every year, and there are no frustrations in a row, how can it be!

"Not really!" He Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that this Taishou was from Chang'an, and he heard that he had also been a counselor, and he was still a celebrity around the emperor and the queen mother. He came to serve today, but he didn't expect that this Taishou would directly arrest him and ask about political affairs.

The border county is a small county, the population is complex, and there are many messy little things, if he is let a county order to break it, he will not be exhausted. Therefore, he almost never cares about this kind of trivial matter of breaking prison, and over time, everyone has to resolve it in private.

This time, not only is he idle, but his thieves are also idle, such as the thief Cao, the decisive Cao, the facial features Cao, etc., just mediate in the middle, and the benefits sent by the parties on both sides also give themselves a little extra money.

"Today is the end of the day, you go back to prepare, the official should know, the number of household registration in the county, the amount of labor, the yield of the acre, the breeding of cattle and horses, the grain storage in the warehouse, the operation of salt and iron, and the amount of transactions in the market......

"Ahh He Zheng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, Geng Xiaofan asked about the production and operation situation in the county all of a sudden!

"Three days for you, is that enough?" Geng Xiaofan also knew the level of these "grassroots" county orders, and knew that he would not be able to answer them for a while, so he simply came up with a good question and asked him to go back to do his "homework".

"Lower official reluctance!" He Zheng wiped his sweat, turned around to leave, and suddenly turned around again, "My lord, this is too much to repair, are you satisfied?" ”

"Not satisfied!" Geng Xiaofan was also going back to the back hall, and when he saw that He Zheng was concerned about the repair, he also guessed that this must be his handiwork.

"Ahh Please give me advice, and the next official will change it immediately. He Zheng was startled when he saw Geng Xiaofan unceremoniously.

"How to change it, I won't work for the county commander, and in the future, I will not do my job, and think more about how to do things for the people is fundamental!" Geng Xiaofan taught a lesson, looked at He Zheng, who was dumbfounded, and smiled slightly, "He Ling's mind, this official understands." It's just that the government is built and repaired, the court has its own system, none of us should make it difficult for anyone, and I will let the master book pay you back for your expenditure. ”

"This!" He Zheng was really confused. Taishou let himself think more about doing things for the people! What kind of logic is this? and this repair, he clearly said that he couldn't look down on it, and he actually had to return his own expenses!

Geng Xiaofan didn't bother to explain to him, and waved him back.

When they came to the back hall, Liu Fei'er and He Ping had roughly settled down, and the two were sitting and drinking tea, but they were both sighing.

"What's wrong?" Geng Xiaofan hurriedly stepped forward.

"Husband, everything else is easy to say, but you can taste this water." Liu Fei'er brought the tea bowl in her hand directly to Geng Xiaofan.

Geng Xiaofan took a sip and immediately understood.

"Where's the water?"

"I heard from the people who said that they were brought in every day from the small river outside the city."

"Isn't there a well in the house?" Geng Xiaofan frowned.

Liu Fei'er shook her head.

"Chuan Shui Cao, Sikong came to see me! Immediately, immediately! Geng Xiaofan did not delay for a moment. Draft is the most important thing, and it must be solved immediately.

Sikong is in charge of engineering construction and craftsmen, and Shui Cao is in charge of water conservancy, and this matter has to be solved by the two of them.

But Geng Xiaofan asked for a long time and began to have a headache.

There is a "white water lake" in the north of Fuyang City, but the water is brought from there, and the project is huge, and these people don't dare to think about it at all.

There are many wells in the city, but they are all shallow wells, and the water quality is bitter and mixed, which is not as good as the small river outside the city. Therefore, the supply to Taishou Mansion is already the best water at present.

"No matter how far away it is, the project of diverting water from Whitewater Lake must be done, and it must be done immediately!" Geng Xiaofan gritted his teeth and made up his mind, thinking for a while, "Tomorrow, you two will go with me, and we will plan the route." Let's start construction in the spring! ”

Geng Xiaofan looked outside the door, it was already snowflakes falling again, there was no way to construct at this time, so he could only wait for the spring flowers to bloom next year.

"There is also the matter of digging wells, if you go to the people to search for more, I don't believe that there is no suitable place." Geng Xiaofan was ready to grasp it with both hands.
