For the people of Bocheng County, Zhen Mengde is really not a good official, but if you want to say where it is bad, it is not necessarily, it can only be said that he is a mediocre official who procrastinates, gets by, and is very confused.

Such officials are everywhere, and Zhen Mengde is mixed in, but there is no special difference.

Zhen Mengde has never been very concerned about the taxes in Bocheng County, at most he will add some anti-theft money and grain, the amount is not very large, and it is evenly distributed to the people, and everyone's burden is not heavy.

Moreover, whenever before the anti-theft money and grain are collected, there will be a noise near Bocheng County, and it will be very happy, but as soon as the anti-theft money and grain are handed over, the horse will not be happy, and there will be no trouble, and the security near the county will be much better.

The people of Bocheng County joked in private, saying that the anti-theft money and grain did not seem to be handed over to the government to prevent theft, but it was very much like giving tribute to the horses.

Hearing this, Li Rizhi sighed in his heart, he still had a trace of luck, thinking that Zhen Mengde might not be Xiangma, but now it sounds like even if Zhen Mengde is not Xiangma, he is also a person who has something to do with Xiangma, and when Xiangma sits on the ground and shares the spoils, he has to give him a share.

Wang Erhao went on to say that it is precisely because of Zhen Mengde's presence that Bocheng County's annual assessment is passable in the state, and Zhen Mengde can always be an official in Bocheng County, but the local officials don't like Zhen Mengde very much, because he can't be promoted, and others can't be promoted, which is tantamount to blocking the motivation of local officials.

Therefore, the officials who are a little self-motivated in Bocheng County have been transferred, anyway, where to be an official is not a good place, and Bocheng County is not a good place to be an official, and if you are transferred from here, you can be promoted quickly, so there is no need to stay nostalgic.

In this way, after a long time, the people who can be officials in Bocheng County are basically messing around, although many people see that Zhen Mengde has a problem, but no one wants to make trouble, everyone just can mix up, anyway, there will be no shortage of money.

Zhen Mengde is very particular about the payment of food and silver, never deducted, never arrears, when it should be paid, as much as it should be, from the perspective of the boss, he is absolutely in place.

In addition, Zhen Mengde has a passable temperament, and he does not urge the officials to work, so it doesn't matter what the people think, anyway, in the eyes of the officials of Bocheng County, Zhen Mengde is definitely a very good boss.

Hearing this, Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Although a large part of these words were figured out by Wang Erhao himself, it can't be said that it is wrong, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Zhen Mengde deliberately indulged the big and small officials, and the big and small officials also indulged Zhen Mengde, so they were collectively imprisoned, which can be regarded as self-inflicted, no wonder others." ”

It would be good for an official like Zhen Mengde to keep the position of the county commander, and no one would have thought that he would be able to go further in his career.

Just a few days ago, Zhen Mengde was promoted for no reason, of course, for ordinary people, Zhen Mengde was indeed promoted inexplicably.

After Zhen Mengde was promoted, of course, there would be a new county commander to take over, so he transferred a person from other places, named Wu Penghui, to take Zhen Mengde's position, and the new county commander was completely different from Zhen Mengde in temperament, and there was no similarity in his style.

Li Rizhi secretly said in his heart: "Wu Penghui, who was born in Jinshi, must have been robbed by Xiangma on the way to Bocheng County, and then the head of Xiangma pretended to be Wu Penghui, and ran to Bocheng County with a group of his subordinates to become an official, maybe that fake Wu Penghui is Zhen Mengde's accomplice, one is a assassin in the state, and the other is a county magistrate in the county, so he has a comfortable life!" ”

After Wu Penghui became the county magistrate, he not only increased taxes, but also built a large number of buildings, such as building the village outside the city, as well as the repair of the city wall.

Of course, Wu Penghui did not force the people to have no way to live, and there was definitely no levy of the intensity at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but compared with his predecessors, the strengthening of the levy also increased the burden on the people, causing a lot of complaints and even hatred.

But the people did not resist, after all, they were still within the level of patience, as long as they could endure it, no one wanted to do more, and it was very difficult for them to think about it, and it was difficult to even see Wu Penghui.

However, the officials had a way, of course they could talk to Wu Penghui, and some officials with a face went to Wu Penghui and wanted to send them some easy work.

Wu Penghui is very particular about this point, as long as someone comes to him, he will definitely meet the other party's requirements, don't you want easy work, yes, for example, responsible for repairing the steps, or the pictures on the beams of the palace, as well as supervising the wall painting of various buildings on Mount Tai, these errands belong to the supervisors, easy to judge, and are related to procurement, it can be regarded as a rich oil and water, if the hand is not clean, it is very easy to make a stroke, but there is a little bad, these fat errands, They are all going to leave Bocheng County, and they are all out of tolerance.

Moreover, the time to go out is very long, at least until the successful completion of the Zen ceremony, they can go home and reunite with their families, after all, the thing they are responsible for is face work, about face errands, of course, face has to be enough, early to go home wife and children hot kang head that is not good.

In fact, there is no need for this, but Wu Penghui has to be like this, otherwise he will not want to get a good errand, and the officials of all sizes have no choice but to agree.

At the beginning, the errands that could be obtained were of course the best errands, and the officials who got the errands said goodbye to their families happily, and went out of the city on an errand, of course, they did not come back, but they did not have to worry, because everyone knew the date of return, and it was not the time when the ceremony of sealing Zen ended.

There were more and more officials who begged Wu Penghui for errands, and when more than half of them got the errands and left, the remaining half of the people couldn't sit still, and the herd mentality exploded.

And several officials who refused to go on a business trip were sent away by Wu Penghui under various pretexts within a few days.

As soon as they left the city, they were robbed by the ringing horses, and then loaded into a car and transported into the city, and put in a prison, and when the lights were dark, the big and small officials were locked up in the county office, and no one could think of it, and no one would think about it, because it was too unbelievable!

In this way, under the strong request of the officials of Bocheng County, they were all imprisoned in batches, and before that, I am afraid that they had not even thought of it, even if others told them, they might not necessarily believe it!

Because although Wang Dahao has been looking at the warehouse for two generations, it is not in the establishment of the county government, and it is tiring to look at the warehouse, so Wang Dahao did not take the initiative to ask for tolerance, but he also escaped a catastrophe and was sent out of the city, just went to the small village to watch and lit candles every day.
