Chapter 583: The Unlucky Huanzhou Officials (First Update)
Chapter 583
"This is the county government of Tongyuan County." Wang Yang looked at this small county government and walked inside with great interest.
Song Dechang, the general judge who had already greeted the lead in front, was leading the way, and said with a smile. "This is also a helpless thing, Lord Wang, you have co-located with Shaanxi Road Jingluo to appease the envoy, and the lower officials should naturally co-operate with the Tongyuan County Order."
"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, please hurry up." Ling Leyong, the county magistrate of Tongyuan County next to him, also nodded approvingly.
Although Wang Yang has now been appointed as the governor of Huanzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, there is not much actual government affairs, mainly because he is still in a war situation.
All the bigwigs are squatting here, not to mention that this Huanzhou is on the border, except for the more than 30,000 people in a Huanzhou state, the other walled forts, except for those recruited villagers and soldiers, and some merchants.
Therefore, what he has to do as a dignified governor is more to deal with military issues, deal with those border troops and border army generals, and the civil affairs are mainly in charge of the state general judgment.
This is also the conspiracy of Wang Yang who has been busy for several days, which saves him from having another business, that is, the livelihood of Huanzhou. Even if it's not full-time, as a leader, you always have to go on a patrol and brush up on your sense of existence.
Whether it is Song Dechang or Le Yong, although they have not dealt with Wang Yang, the new governor of Huanzhou, they have planned against Western Xia, causing Western Xia to lose troops and generals, and the three thousand iron harriers that rely on the treasure of the town and country are gone, and even the Queen Mother has become a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty.
This deed alone is enough to make the civil officials, who were originally fond of intrigue, maintain an attitude of awe towards this boss. What's more, this boss is still waiting for the Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, and the marquis of the third grade, whether it is a title or an official rank, is completely and directly crushed.
In addition, this little Wang, who was deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven and valued by the Empress Dowager, heard that it was precisely because of his request that His Majesty issued an order to leave all the more than 40,000 Western Xia prisoners of war in Huanzhou to repair and build the walled cities and roads in Huanzhou.
Such a big face is only available to this world-shaking champion of today's department.

The so-called general judgment does not look at the position of a small person, but in fact the power is very great, and many administrative orders must be signed by the general judgment before they can take effect.
In addition, the general judgment is not only in charge of civil affairs, but also has the responsibility of supervising officials at all levels in the state, so it is also called the state of supervision.
This Song Dechang is not young, but he has only been in the company for three years, that is, he just came to Huanzhou in the early summer of this year, but he came three months earlier than Wang Yang, the old driver, and he is familiar with the situation in Huanzhou, this goods do not know much more than Wang Yang, but this Tongyuan County Order, which is a route from the main Bo Gan, has been in this Huanzhou land for nearly nine years, with this Tongyuan County Order surnamed Le Mingyong as the keynote speaker, soon Wang Yang learned a lot about the situation of Huanzhou that he wanted to obtain.
Almost all the people of Huanzhou are concentrated in this Huanzhou city and its surroundings, about 6,000 households and more than 30,000 people, in addition, there are many traders from Tiannan and Haibei in the city, about 2,000 people.
In the past, there used to be a certain number of people living in the walled forts and cultivating in the fields outside the walled forts, but due to the frequent intrusions of the Western Xia, the people could only leave their hometowns and migrate south.
So now, except for the state city and the surrounding areas, there is almost no trace of the people in the other walled forts in Huanzhou.
Some were just some merchants who ventured their money to earn the money of the guards of the fortress.
Because it is located at the junction of the Song and Xia dynasties, in addition to helping the family to work during the busy farming time, the young Zhuang will serve in the walled forts for the rest of the time.
Le Yong, who has been a local official in Huanzhou for a long time, spit on the stars and explained for a long time, Wang Yang also understood what this guy meant, that is, Wang Zhizhou, now that you have more than 40,000 prisoners of war, can you reduce some young and strong labor, so that young and strong people can be more busy with farming.
After all, although Song Dechang is a general judge in Huanzhou, he is in charge of grain transportation, family land, water conservancy and litigation in Huanzhou. But in fact, there are only ordinary people in Huanzhou, and Tongyuan County is the seat of governance in Huanzhou.
Although he Song is a general judge of a state, he can't go beyond the county order of Tongyuan County to meddle in the government affairs of Tongyuan County, right?
What's more, Leyong, who has been in Huanzhou for nine years, is definitely a super head snake compared to someone in Song.
After listening to Le Yong's description, Wang Yang was really touched. Not...... I feel like I'm staying in a fake big song.
In addition to the soldiers, that is, the villagers, the people only have no money and power, and there is no way to escape from their homes will stay in Huanzhou.
There is almost no scholar class in this ring state, and most of the traders are from other states, and the small traders are highly mobile, and it is difficult to collect taxes. And those businessmen who dare to stay in the local area to buy real estate, or do big business, none of them do not have a deep background.
This has also led to difficulties in tax revenue, and it can be said that whether it is Song Dechang, the general judge, or Leyong, the county magistrate, when they come here, there is almost no chance to complete the assessment.
According to Le Yong, he is completely based on his qualifications step by step to become the county magistrate of Tongyuan County, and the former county magistrate of Tongyuan County has been in this position for 12 years, and he is here to be a minister.
Even if they can pass the assessment, no one wants to come over and take over this stall, so they can only continue to stay and do it. Because this is Huanzhou, it is the border of Song and Xia, and it is an area where border conflicts and wars often occur.
According to the kind of life that those civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty liked, how could they be willing to squat in such a place and eat pickles wrapped in cotton jackets and eat pickles, it is better to be an idle official, so that he can eat and drink spicy food in a rich land, and he can also rely on red and green, display his talents, and win the hearts of the girls.
"In other words, the annual tax in Huanzhou is not as good as a county in other regions, what is it......" Looking at the account book, Wang Yang couldn't help but have a toothache.
"There is no way to wait for the lower officials, our Huanzhou is located in a war-torn place, and the people live hard, fortunately, the court can understand, so it has always been very tolerant of the taxes in my Huanzhou, but in any year when there is a war, the tax will be exempted." Lexian Ling's face was full of emotion and gratitude.
Seeing this Lexian order who divides the people and worries, worries about the world first, and enjoys the joy of the world after the world, Wang Daguan always feels that it is not normal.
The main reason is that this Lexian Ling's wide-hearted and fat body, with a height of only one meter six, but a body that weighs at least two hundred pounds, is really too incompatible with his Jiao Yulu-like spiritual connotation.
Hearing the crooked words of this Lexian order, Wang Daguan rolled his eyes vigorously, but these problems are not something that his own Zhizhou can handle.
