The so-called talisman is naturally to ask, what are the high-ranking families and wealthy families in this place, and they need to make friends. Don't offend them carelessly, you are an official here, they say a word casually, and they will leave mellowly, and the negative points will be rough.

It is said that the official talisman is a matter that is instructed by the officials of the county, including the old disciples left by the predecessor, who can undertake similar work. However, Cai Jiande is dead, and his people are said to have followed his wife to help the spirit, leaving no one behind; Second, Zhang Yuande, the secretary of the office, gave Li Yanqing the feeling that he was incompetent.

Knowing that a new official takes office, even if it is a superficial article, he must deal with it first, which is a basic quality of being an official. He was good, not only did he not take the Taoist team to greet him, but he took people to gamble in the officials' room, and he didn't even clean the lobby and backyard, which was a bit too lazy. And the predecessor Cai Jiande's white strip consumption, it is impossible for him not to know, but he didn't mention it to himself at all, and he was at a loss when facing the debt collection army, which was even more Yan zhòng's dereliction of duty.

When he first came to Xiangshan, he took office on a bicycle and had no attachés, so he couldn't kick out all the original officials at this time and start from scratch. can only temporarily appoint these old officials, but with the use of the return, the beating must also be beaten, the talisman does not ask Zhang Yuande, but ask Reinstein, a foreign devil, is a beating. If you Zhang Yuande don't find more reasons from yourself and work hard to correct your mistakes, this official will be almost at the end, think about it yourself.

Ryanstein is honest and honest, and there are not so many twists and turns, otherwise he would not have mixed up with Xiangshan as a small flag. As soon as I heard this county question, I really thought about it seriously. "Xiangshan is too small and has a limited population, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were only 10,000 households in Dingkou. The current population is more than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is still a small place, and the literary style is average, not too popular. There are not as many wealthy families as there are other places. A Huang Zuo Huang Hanlin, died this spring, his son is not very successful, he should not be careful to study, but he learned Meng Weijun at home, I think this business can't be kept. A He Paixing, now an official in Shaanxi Xingtaifu Temple, but the family is not prosperous, and it is okay to worship or not. There is also a Yuan San who takes over Yuan Jinshi, but his family is also a small clan, not a big family. And now that these two families have moved to the provincial capital, they don't have to worship. ”

When Li Yanqing heard this, his heart relaxed a lot. As a magistrate, what I am most afraid of is that the local clan power is too strong, such as the prefecture and county of Nanjing, and life is not easy. Most of the famous fields around are owned by Haoqiang, and the same is true for shops, so it is not easy for you to collect taxes. If the tax doesn't come up, there will be no income, and if there is no income, what else can he do in this county?

After sending away Reinstein, Li Yanqing took advantage of the wine and instructed: "Wait for the accounts of the county government to bring the east and west warehouses, and the official will take a look, how many families are there in our county?" ”

Zhang Yuande glanced at Li Keshi, the manager of the house, the former magistrate was a bastard when he was an official, and Qian Gu's friends didn't get along with him very well, so he didn't do it in less than half a year. Therefore, the households in Xiangshan County have no economic inheritance, only the deputy management year.

Li Keshi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Back to the words of the eldest master, speaking of which, there are a few words that should not be said." Our Xiangshan is a poor county, when Yongle Ye Chrysostom was sealed, this place is the poorest, this will never be wrong. It is difficult to collect taxes in the local area, and in the past few years, there were thieves, and the imperial court ordered a ban on the sea and fish, and the fish tax and tooth tax could not be collected, so we couldn't live our life. Since Xiao took over, there are two warehouses of this thing, and it is empty enough to run mice. After Master Cai took office, all the rats starved to death, and no living creatures could escape. Now he still owes us 900 taels of tax silver in the yamen, plus the grain he embezzled, he owes 1,300 taels of silver before and after. ”

"Owed?" It is not new in officialdom for the predecessor to leave a deficit for the successor, but generally speaking, after the new official takes office, most of them do not recognize this deficit. Either the predecessor paid for it himself, or he came to the peak with an order and expressed his stance from the superior unit, and this account was settled, otherwise this handover could not be handed over.

Cai Jiande has been an official for less than a year, and he owes more than 1,000 taels of silver, so it is no wonder that he hanged himself. But this bastard is here, it's your business to hang yourself, leave this deficit to your successor, can you not be so unkind?

"That's not all, this time his wife came to our county to transport the body of her late husband back to her hometown, and she used a hundred taels of silver for travel expenses and burial. This money is still stamped with the big seal of the county government, and the seal borrowed from the local bank, and I don't know how to repay it in the future. Those people in the money bank are sideways, and they may not be afraid of Ryan Stein and his brocade guards. ”

"What? He obviously owes the county public money and can't pay it out, and he commits suicide in fear of crime, how can he still have the face to ask the county for funeral silver? Does his wife have three heads and six arms, otherwise why should he give money? ”

"Master, don't you know, Master Cai, this lady is very powerful, although she is not very old, but she is not easy to deal with. She first went to the Guangzhou Mansion to cry Qin Ting, and then took letters from several lords of the Shangxian Yamen in the province, and even Lin Taishou had to give her some face. In the end, it was not easy for the county to sympathize with her, taking care of Master Cai is the only seedling in the family, studying for the imperial examination, and working hard, not for the sake of money, it will hurt the hearts of Shilin literati. Tell me, even the old man has expressed his position, what can we do. ”

When Li Yanqing heard this, he suddenly felt powerless. What is this called? finally came to Xiangshan as a magistrate by impostor, I thought it was an opportunity to turn over, but I didn't expect that it was such a mess. How did the official Liu Chaozuo buy the genuine brand? Could it be that he offended a certain master of the Ministry of Officials, deliberately rectified him, and threw him into such a rotten place to be an official?

Zhang Yuande was on the side, but he made up for the fatal blow as if the coffin was hammered into a nail, "Cai Daling, this person is also ridiculous, not only has he lost the public funds in our county, but even the silver that the Heavenly Family purchased ambergris has also been shorted by him." In order to be afraid of making a big fuss, the government deliberately paid to fill in the account, but until now, we still owe the government 600 taels of procurement money, which is also an account. ”

Today, Zi Jiajing believed that a large amount of ambergris was needed to prepare longevity cakes, and the main means for the Ming Dynasty to obtain ambergris was to buy it from the Portuguese who were now living in the trenches. The cost required has always been shared by the counties, this Lord Cai is really bold, even the emperor's public funds, he dares to spend, how much death is this?

At this moment, a servant outside came to report, "Master, Liang Xing, the current head of Liang Yuan's family, asked to see him outside, saying that he came to see the eldest master." Don't know if you see it or not? ”

Li Yanqing glanced at Zhang Yuande, "Zhang Jingcheng, this old Liang is not the creditor of this county?" ”

Zhang Yuande smiled, "Master, you can't ask that." In the future, you just have to ask, but who is not your creditor in Xiangshan County. ”
