"What? He's dead? What's going on? "I'm worried that something will go wrong, something is really wrong!

"Sick and sick." The Pingtao County Order is a passer-by for Shi Qian, and Shi Qian is not a matter of fact.

"Are you sure you died?"

"Yes, there are no surprises."

confirmed that he died of illness, and Liu Mang was relieved.

Wan'er sorted out the information of the county commanders and counties of Zhaoyu Eight Counties, Zhaoyuze is located in the south of Bingzhou, and most of the counties do not have county lieutenants.

According to the information compiled by Wan'er, Pingtao County Ling is in his forties, and in this era, he is considered an elderly person who is over forty years old, and it is normal for him to die of illness.

The vacancy in Pingtao County, in a sense, is a good thing, and competent talents can be selected to replace the vacancy.

However, things happened in a hurry, and Liu Mang's subordinates did not have a suitable candidate.

"Hongzhang, you rush to Pingtao first. I appoint you to temporarily take over Pingtao as the governor of Zhaoyu. The aftermath of the Pingtao County Order will be dealt with together. The deceased is the greatest, no matter what his reputation was during his lifetime, he died in office, and the future should be as decent and grand as possible. I will determine the successor as soon as possible. ”

"No!"

Shi Qian reported again: "Young master, young master, there is one more thing, I have found another talent!" ”

Last time, he got a thief to steal Liu Bi, and this time it can't be a good thing, Liu Mang is too lazy to listen to Shi Qian's muttering.

"Young master, young master, it's true! This person is very good at making money! ”

"Huh?"

Shi Qian, this guy is really good at scratching the itch, and the sentence "will make money" attracted Liu Mang's attention, and now he is too short of money! There is a shortage of management talents!

"Yes, young master, Pingtao has a fishery supervisor, who is in charge of Zhao Yuze's fishing and shrimping, but he will make money! Jianghu people say: Punctual punishment! ”

"What?!"

Liu Mang was a little angry.

Nothing else, just a nickname. Regardless of the official position, the fishery supervisor is also an official appointed by the imperial court, so why does he still make a nickname for the rivers and lakes?

Moreover, this nickname is not a good thing when you hear it!

Shi Qian didn't know what Liu Mang was thinking, and he still introduced excitedly. "This guy goes to the shore on time every day to check the fish caught by fishermen, and if they don't meet the regulations, they will be fined, so they have the nickname 'punctual punishment'! He has set up a lot of names, and if he violates it slightly, he will be fined! ”

"I'll rub!" Liu Mang scolded in a low voice.

"This is a talent!" Shi Qian didn't notice Liu Mang's emotions at all, "With such a person, are you still afraid that the government will not be able to collect the money?" ”

"Lead the way! I'll check it out! Hongzhang, don't go to Pingtao first, let's go and see together, what kind of fairy is this guy, he has such a guts! ”

Liu Mang suppressed his anger, turned over and got on his horse, followed the times, and went to Zhaoyuze.

……

Zhaoyuze is the only large lake north of the Yellow River in the inland Daze.

Zhaoyuze aquatic plants are fertile and rich in fish and shrimp.

However, the Han were an agrarian people and were accustomed to slash-and-burn farming. Especially the Han people in the north are not used to fishing and touching shrimp.

In this era, fishing technology was not advanced, and farmers would not be willing to go down to the lake to fish if there were enough fields. Fish and shrimp are only occasionally mixed and are not a common dish in the north.

The eight counties of Zhaoyuze are mostly located to the east of Zhaoyuze. In the eastern part of Zhaoyuze, the land is fertile, and the people live well on farming. Moreover, the main road to the Central Plains passed through the state, and the commerce and other industries in the eastern part of Zhaoyuze also flourished.

In the eastern counties of Zhaoyuze, they can make a good living by farming and commerce, so few people go to the lake to fish.

Pingtao is located northwest of Zhaoyuze. This place is relatively remote and closed, and the official roads do not pass through here. Moreover, further northwest here, is Luliang Mountain, the land is sandy, gravelly, and relatively barren.

The life of the people of Pingtao is far worse than that of the eastern counties of Zhaoyuze, so the people will go to the lake to fish to supplement the shortage of crops.

Fishery supervisor is an official position established by the imperial court, which is common in the south and rare in the north. The duties of the Fishery Superintendent are to manage fishing affairs and collect taxes.

If it is only to collect taxes, this is beyond reproach, and the duties of the fishery superintendent are the same.

However, this fishery supervisor actually has the nickname of "punctual punishment", is this worth it?

"Hemp eggs! Two thousand years later, the root cause of indiscriminate fines is here! ”

Liu Mang had no power or power in his previous life, he was a small person, and he couldn't be angry with those law enforcement departments who fined indiscriminately. But in this world, he is the head of a county, how can he allow the little fisherman to be so arrogant!

……

On the west shore of Zhaoyu Jersey, the sunset reflects the surface of the lake in red and yellow, setting off the rugged beauty of Daze in the north.

Just in winter, the fish and shrimp are ready for winter, which is the fattest time and a good time for fishing.

The sun is about to set, and the fishing boats are rowing to the shore, ready to dock and unload the day's harvest.

Just as farmers look forward to the autumn harvest, this is the happiest season for fishermen who rely on water to eat.

The fishermen on the boat greeted each other from afar, and Uncle Zhang shouted and asked about the harvest. On every boat, everyone's face is filled with the joy of harvest.

The fishermen shouted loudly, and the local sour and soft dialect added a bit of banter and joy to the ordinary conversation and chat.

The beautiful scenery on the lake and the frolic on the shore made Liu Mang's mood heavier.

If there is no scum like "punctual punishment", the people's lives will be more comfortable and happier.

……

Near a simple wharf, fishermen ashore in long queues carrying baskets.

In front of a group of people, there were a few people in errand clothes who were busy.

"Young master, look at it quickly, that's 'punctual punishment'!"

Liu Mang looked up and saw a simple big wooden sign inserted near the crowd, with several bowl-sized words written on it - punctual punishment!

"I'm rubbing! How dare you put up a sign?! How arrogant is this Nima?! ”

Liu Mang couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, and a few dirty words came out in a row.

Shangguan Wan'er on the side saw Taishou Liu Mang so vulgar for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Liu Mang with strange eyes.

Liu Mang was already angry, and he didn't have time to pay attention to what the women around him thought.

"Taishou, hearing is false, seeing is believing, go over and take a look first?" Li Hongzhang reminded in a whisper.

Take personal stolen goods and get them together, so that they can be convicted and punished.

Liu Mang waved his hand, letting Wan'er, Qin Qiong, Shi Qian, and a few accompanying guards stay in the distance.

Shi Qian blinked his eyes, and he wanted to go over. But seeing Liu Mang's cold eyes, Shi Qian shuddered and didn't dare to speak.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't speak, but she stared at Liu Mang's eyes, full of expectation.

"Wan'er come with me, go back and record things clearly."

"Hey!" Wan'er was happy and followed Liu Mang and Li Hongzhang to the crowd.

Shi Qian was snubbed and super depressed. Liu Mang and the others walked away, Shi Qian didn't dare to complain about the young master Liu Mang, but he couldn't help but complain about Shangguan Wan'er: "What kind of vision does the young master have, the women he is looking for, one is thinner than the other, and the other is uglier than the other!" ”

Qin Qiong glared at Shi Qian fiercely, Shi Qian shrank his neck in fright, and said flatteringly: "Second Brother Qin, when you return to Jinyang, I will invite you to eat and drink......"
