didn't get the desired result, Cui Guang shirked and had to think about it, so he quit and left. It is said that it is considered, but in fact, it is necessary to discuss it with several other companies and advance and retreat together. Yuan Xi let him go. These big families are the most troublesome, hundreds of people in a family, plus the relationship of affiliation, can almost wipe out the entire Hebei Shi clan, and they can't be easily provoked.

Yuan Xi sent Cui Guang away, met a few more soldiers who came to enlist for service, gave a few words of encouragement, calmed down the young man who had not seen much but was enthusiastic, and called the parents and officials from all over the country.

These county commanders originally wanted to complain a few words, but Yuan Xi called two ordinary soldiers and soldiers, holding swords and axes in their hands, and guarding the door like a fierce god. Seeing this posture, these old fritters in officialdom have also settled down a lot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the main purpose of calling you over today is to implement the work plan for this year. The first thing is to ...... spring ploughing."

Several county orders are confused, shouldn't farming be the business of those untouchables? What does it have to do with being an official? But the new assassin of Youzhou had a deep face, and they couldn't easily figure out what they wanted, so they listened patiently.

“…… Listen, what you have to grasp when you go back is to measure out the land under your jurisdiction and count the amount of land in each household, especially some large households...... Transcribe the books and give them to me for summarization...... Spring ploughing is imminent, and we have to go down to understand some difficult households...... Lack of seeds and farm tools, all reported to the ......"

When these county magistrates heard something new, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked confused. Zhang Tang, the county magistrate of Ji County, said: "I am afraid these things are too complicated, and if they are to be implemented, it will be difficult to put them in place before spring ploughing......"

"What's so hard?" Yuan Xi straightened his face and said, "It's not difficult, what do I want you to do?" You are all outstanding figures in the Youzhou realm, and now that the war in your hometown is over, many things have been backlogged, and someone still needs to do it. Lack of people? There are many young people who are rushing for the recruitment order this time, you can assign them and bring them all back, they are all right-hand men. ”

Speaking of this recruitment order, Zhang Tang was even more disdainful. I thought it was just a small fight, how could I really recruit talents. As a result, the blind man unveiled the list, which caused a sensation, and scholars from all over the country rushed one after another, and even came from Qingzhou as far away. Zhang Tang just watched coldly at first, to see how the play was cleaned up, but he was really shocked. There is a long queue at the door every day, and there is a good food and drink to offer, and after a month, the Thorn Mansion has become a vegetable market. As a result, most of the people came and went, and only a dozen people remained.

"My lord, these so-called talents, I really can't believe it."

"Believe it or not, it depends on the actual performance."

Yuan Xi knew the reason why these people were complaining, these county magistrates were all comfortable, and they only took half a day to deal with official business every day, and no one supervised them. Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, there is no sense of urgency at all. If it's normal, then forget it, you can't ask them with the pace of work in the future, but if there is a war coming soon, then you can't let them go.

I have not been idle running outside for more than ten days, and I have sorted out a list of work rules and assessment indicators along the way, and after Lu Fang's polishing, I have distributed them.

"I will send someone to your place to inspect your work, and I know what is good and what is not done. I will continue to post the recruitment order, if there is a suitable candidate, and you don't do well, then I'm sorry, I'm going to change people. ”

The meeting lasted until midnight, and after a while, the county magistrates were shaking and standing unsteadily, helping each other out of the house.

One of the county magistrates in remote Liucheng cried to Zhang Tang: "Brother Zhang, this second son is really ruthless, these three fires are going to burn us." What can I do? These tasks are so heavy that even if I try my best, I can't finish them. He also has 'assessment indicators' one by one and is extremely detailed, is this treating us as his house slaves? ”

Another county magistrate said: "No, what can you do?" I'm a neighbor of Dai County, I heard that the high-ranking officials are tolerant, I found a relationship to go to Jinyang, it's better to be a small official than a county magistrate here. The man shook his head and walked away.

Among the remaining people, one said: "He has a relationship in his family, and he also has relatives in Bingzhou, but we are still from Youzhou, and the family relationship is here. ”

Zhang Tang said: "Everyone, be relieved, the so-called new officials have three fires, and when the limelight passes, it will be calm." Now everyone is ordered to go back and do what is ordered. But there's no need to be too urgent, just do what you normally do. If the law does not blame the public, everyone will not be able to complete it at that time, and it will be impossible for him to withdraw all of us. ”

Liucheng County ordered: "This is not appropriate. Didn't those young scholars who had been recruited to go back with them? I suspect they're spying on us, it's a great trick, killing two birds with one stone. Besides, Brother Zhang, you are under his nose, how can you drag it out? ”

Zhang Tang said: "Hehe, I naturally have a way, when the time comes, I will pretend to be sick, and the entire Ji County will not have me, see how he acts?" He is a newcomer, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to issue a decree. ”

Others said: "With Brother Zhang Tang as an example, we can rest assured." ”

They discussed it for a while, and then left in time. One of the county magistrates of Zhuo County, circled around and came back again, knocking on the door of the council hall again.

Yuan Xi's voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

The county magistrate of Nazhuo County opened the door and entered.

Although it was the middle of the night, Yuan Xi was still in good spirits and was looking at a book under the lamp. Lu Da and Lu Fang were also busy with something.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yuan Xi looked at the other party and said, "What they said, report it to me quickly." Come, sit down and speak. ”

The county magistrate of Zhuoxian County bowed, then sat down on Yuan Xi's left head, and said respectfully: "Sure enough, as expected by the adults, after several colleagues went out, they began to discuss how to deal with the adults' decrees. ”

"Oh? What do they say? ”

Zhuoxian County ordered: "It's nothing more than a procrastination trick...... Among them, Zhang Tang also proposed to pretend to be sick. ”

"Zhang Tang?" Yuan Xi was quite surprised by this name, this person had a very good impression in his eyes. not only arranged the mansion for him, but also sent many servants and maidservants. He also completed the things he sent down very neatly. Without Zhang Tang, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for me in Ji County.

Lu Da said beside him: "I also want to tell this Zhang Tang a long time ago...... When the recruitment order was in front, it seemed that he was secretly making trouble. Not only did he not cooperate with his work, but he also made things difficult for the blind man everywhere. ”

"If Zhang Tang is an official, who can be the county magistrate?"

Lu Da's body shook, he didn't expect Yuan Xi to be so resolute, and hurriedly said: "County Cheng Han Yan is steady, but he can be a big responsibility." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, then it's up to him." I have to find someone to make an example of me, otherwise these people will always think that I can be fooled. Brother Lu, you have worked hard this time. ”

The county magistrate of Nazhuo County is surnamed Lu, who is the son of the Lu family, and when he heard Yuan Xi say this, he hurriedly responded: "It's a matter of duty." It is right to be able to serve Yuan Gongzi. When I went out, my old lady also said that everything is up to Yuan Gongzi. ”

Yuan Xi laughed heartily and held his hand together, while the lights next to him also beat violently a few times.
