Chapter 8 Assignments and Bad Debts

Officialdom is not a battlefield, it's not a spear that can solve everything, meow, no wonder Xun also thinks he can't solve it, and then sent Xun Biao over.

It's just that Li Ming is still a little skeptical, after all, he has never heard of Xun Biao, and it seems that he is not conspicuous in the history of the Three Kingdoms!

In the next three days, Xun Biao taught Li Ming several ways to deal with it, telling him how to deal with Yunyun as long as he encountered officials using these few tricks. Li Ming's memory is actually quite good, and he knows it if he doesn't know how to memorize it a few more times.

Finally, after a bumpy journey, the group finally came to Huiji County. If there is any change, it is that Huang Xu has come all the way, his spirit is getting better and better, and he can already start walking around the ground for a period of time yesterday, which makes Huang Zhong and his wife cry with joy.

"Huiji County Magistrate Shi Guyan, I've seen Taishou!" When he arrived in San'in, he may have received the news a long time ago, and a number of officials came to greet him, led by Gu Yan, the chief assistant of the county guard, who was in charge of civil affairs.

"Wei Xin, the lieutenant of Huiji, has seen Taishou!" Immediately, a person dressed as a military attache stepped forward, but it was Wei Xin, the county lieutenant who was mainly responsible for military affairs.

There are counties under the Han Dynasty, but Huiji is already a border county, and it only needs a long history. Due to the repeated rebellion in Shanyue, there was a post of county lieutenant. These two positions were appointed by the central government, and Li Ming had no way to make decisions. There are more than 20 subordinate county officials, and there are more than 20 people in a team, and these can be appointed by Li Minglai.

Originally, there was a team in Huiji County, and everyone was here, and they all visited Li Ming. For this group of people, they can be retained or replaced, and the specific decision is made by Li Ming, the Taishou.

In addition to the officials of the county government, there is also a team of Sanyin County Commanders, of course, this is not something that Li Ming can appoint. It is said that the three lives are unfortunate, the county is attached to Guo, and he serves as the county commander under the county rule, but this forty-year-old man is wide-hearted and fat, and it seems that the small life is quite moisturized? !

"In the future, everyone will be colleagues, in terms of government and military affairs, as well as Shanyin County, and everyone will have to worry a lot!" Li Ming arched his hand, "Li is new here, and there are still many things to learn from you!" ”

"We are all under the hands of adults, and it is also our duty to assist adults in managing Huiji County!" Gu Yan gave up his hand, and the officials around him also responded one after another, but Li Ming still keenly noticed that Gu Yan and Wei Xin saw a bit of contempt in their eyes.

Xun Biao touched Li Ming lightly, and the latter nodded, knowing that it was not good to be entangled here, so he motioned for everyone to take their places. Then he led everyone into the palace.

"Although there is a lot of land in Jiangnan, most of it is in the hands of wealthy families. Xun's premium was 30% before he bought a manor outside the city and two properties in Shanyin County. One of them is the county guard of the sun, and the other is where three or four families will live. Fifty guards can be left, and the rest can be transferred to the manor outside the city to rest. Entering the county town, Xun Biao, under the guidance of the Xun family, brought Li Ming to the county guard's mansion.

This is a big mansion, and it is also in the most prosperous place in the county, and the price is definitely not cheap, let alone a premium of 30%! The other place is relatively remote, not too far from here, and you can send someone to support you at any time.

According to Xun Biao's meaning, Zhang Mo, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Dian Jie and Xu Huang stayed, and the others were led by Jia Ding to the suburban manor to stay.

"In terms of handmaidens, you need to buy a few more, there are many people who have fled south, and there are many people who sell their sons and daughters." Xun table proposed.

"Where does the eldest brother live?" Seeing that Xun Biao was about to leave after speaking, Li Ming couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Here in Sanyin, there is naturally a house!" Xun Biao smiled and turned away in a dashing manner.

"Damn rich man!" Li Ming looked at the back of Xun Biao leaving, and silently complained in his heart. At the same time, I have to admire the influence of the Xun family, and in such a short period of time, I can directly buy three mansions and a manor in Shanyin County.

The house environment is not bad, this is relative to the place of Shanyin, the scale is even smaller than the Li Mansion in Luoyang, fortunately there is a huge study, it seems that it is still urgently renovated. Xun knows very well what Li Ming is most precious, not his own force, but the books behind him!

"At this scale, Xiao Tao and Xiao Cui are enough!" Xun Cai looked left and right, and finally said slowly. This little space is enough for more than twenty people for daily maintenance, and if it weren't for the protection of those books, fifty people would have seemed a bit cramped.

"When I came in, I saw Wei Xin and Gu Yan entering the two big mansions respectively, at least twice as big as us!" Xi Zhicai walked in slowly, and said playfully, "I'm afraid the origin of the two is not simple!" ”

"Jiangnan Jia has heard of it!" Jia Xu knows very well what it means to be both prosperous and humiliated, "The four giants are Gu, Lu, Zhang and Zhu, and the right car cavalry general is from Huiji and is also surnamed Zhu, but he is just a poor family. If you guess correctly, Gu Yan is from the surname Gu, and Wei Xin ...... I'm afraid it's also a wealthy family in Huiji County!

The key is still the original county official, although the person who met was an adult, but his eyes were more at the two of them. To say that it doesn't matter at all, Wenhe doesn't believe it! Even Zhang Dui, the county magistrate of Shanyin County, is afraid that his background is not simple! ”

The next day, Xun Biao, Zhang Mo, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu were with them. Listening to the officials below report on the situation in Huiji County, the results are not optimistic. According to Gu Yan, there have been more than rebellions in various places this year, and there have been several cases of mountains going down the mountain in Huiji County, and a large number of displaced people have poured into Jiangnan, and many have come to Huiji County.

In order to quell the rebellion and appease the displaced people, the treasury has been completely depleted, and it still owes several wealthy merchants 5,000 yuan. They had an IOU issued by the previous county warden and an official seal on it, so it was a legal loan.

In addition, there is also the issue of Shanyue, Huiji County extends to the south, and the area of a county is equivalent to that of a Yanzhou. It is precisely because of the vast territory that the mountain is the most noisy, and it goes down the mountain from time to time, resulting in a significant reduction in local production this year.

Judging from the situation reported by the counties, I am afraid that we may not be able to collect taxes this year, and as for next year...... It's hard to say! To put it simply, the mountain is uneven, so don't expect to have taxes in the past three years, but the maintenance of Yulu and the army also needs money and food, Gu Yan said that if Li Ming is in need, he can come forward on his behalf and borrow 3,000 yuan from wealthy merchants to support it for a period of time......

The implication is: Do you want to take these 3,000 and run away?

Li Ming only spent 2,000 guan to buy an official, so even if he got 1,000 guan for nothing, you can see that after a tour, he will earn 3,000 guan, which is very cost-effective! As for this bad debt, leave it to the next Taishou to solve it!

Li Ming smiled and said, "I know that Huiji County is difficult...... Fortunately, it's not too outrageous! In the next three years, you and I will do our best to fill the shortfall! ”

"Taishou has far-reaching ambitions, and his subordinates admire him!" Gu Yan smiled and bowed his hand, but said secretly in his heart: Let's see how you plan to clean up this mess! What if you have far-reaching ambitions, can you still fill your stomach?!

Seeing the officials leaving, Li Ming also felt a headache, so he thought about Xun Biao and said, "Sure enough, it's not what you expected!" ”
