The little loser didn't take a good nap and woke up crying.

Zhongyu's daughter-in-law only hugged the baby for a while and sweated, and walked into the house to see her brother's garlic seedlings, "Don't make a mess, go out." ”

angrily slapped the little loser's ass twice.

The rich daughter-in-law hurriedly trotted in and asked, "What's the matter?" What are you doing hitting him, give me a hug. Are you hungry? I feed him. ”

Zhongyu's daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the bed and fanned the wind with a diaper sheet, sweat on her forehead and said:

"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat. You said that his third uncle came back to make up for sleep, but the old man specially instructed him not to make a noise. It's just that he has a lot of things, and it's not good to cry when he wakes up. It is estimated that it will give his third uncle a headache crying. The more anxious I became, the worse it became. ”

In the three-room room, Song Fusheng was not affected at all, Hu'er was snoring, which showed that he was really tired.

Mrs. Ma moved lightly into the house, and carefully pulled and pulled Song Fusheng to wake up: "San'er, it's time to go to the front office." ”

"Huh? Yes. After Song Fusheng woke up, he sat on the bed and slowed down for a while before leaving.

……

Song Fusheng sat at the front of the conference table, holding a tea jar in his hand.

Lu Xiancheng stubbornly reported, "The population of Huining County should be nearly 100,000, and I can't tell you the specific data, because there has been no census in recent years." ”

At this time, there is no need to slap a swollen face and become fat, management chaos is chaos, and dereliction of duty is also admitted, if you fool Xinzhi County, there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Yes. How many people are in Huanglong Province, how many counties, and the population distribution of each county. ”

My lord, you are out of line, you didn't let me talk about this before.

"It should be nearly 300,000 people, right? My lord, I really don't know much about this subordinate. There are eight counties in total, and we account for a very heavy proportion anyway. ”

Song Fusheng didn't feel embarrassed for Lu Xiancheng, and suddenly changed the topic, and asked Lu Xiancheng to write him a copy of the third class of the county government officials and inspection team after the meeting, together with miscellaneous servants such as servants, grooms, cooks, changfu, and Kuding who took care of the warehouse.

Lu County Cheng knew that those who were reported to the higher-level grain institute could not be moved, but if they were not reported, Xinzhi County would cut all the unusable, "Yes, my lord." ”

After Song Fusheng took a sip of tea, he began to inquire about the tax situation.

The more than 20 officials present at the conference table only reported to Xinzhi County on last year's tax payment for an hour and a half.

Song Fusheng looked at Ambassador Cang, "At present, how much grain does the county warehouse have?" ”

He also looked at the main book of the tax department: "How much did you pay in taxes last year?" ”

Yicang tax refers to the imperial court reserve.

The purpose was to have a bumper harvest of grain, and the price of grain fell, and the imperial court bought it at a guaranteed price. When the harvest was poor, the price of grain rose, and the imperial court sold it to the people at a guaranteed price. It plays a role in regulating food prices and relieving famine.

Ambassador Cang was shocked that the adults could find him at a glance, and it seemed that the adults were not familiar with them.

He stumbled and replied that the grain was less than sixty stones.

The chief secretary of the tax department was also shocked, to be honest, he was recognized without even talking to Xinzhi County, "Lord Hui, due to the flood last year, the people's food and clothing could not be guaranteed, and the Yicang tax was not collected. ”

"What about the year before last, what about the year before last, it was also flooded?"

The head of the tax department has a coaxed face and is dumbfounded.

Song Fusheng swept his eyes at these officials one by one.

Less than 60 stone is about 7,000 catties of grain.

There are so many officials in the county government, and there are so many prisoners in the southern prison, may I ask, how can I eat more than 7,000 catties of stored grain, can I survive to collect new grain?

The previous magistrate, and you, pay taxes, taxes can't come up, there is no grain storage, what are you busy with.

The officials who were watched lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Song Fusheng.

"How much money does the county government have on its books?"

Master Qin replied cautiously: "Excluding the reward for the people who helped in the war, the account is currently six hundred taels of silver." ”

Song Fusheng was laughed at angrily at this moment, he was so poor.

In a huge county town with a population of nearly 100,000, the official office has only 1,800 taels of working capital on its books.

Wan Yuyi wanted to bribe him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was ten thousand taels of silver.

It can be said that if you go out and drag a similar merchant, your family is richer than the county government.

Huining is purely a mess.

Nothing, a bunch of.

Song Fusheng took a deep breath.

He also asked the history of the prison how many prisoners there were.

Ask Yicheng, all the way over, why is there no post station in Huining. Yi Cheng returned, but it has not been built, so he went directly to Huanglong Mansion for something.

Ask the county teacher, you said that there are only seven people in the county above Xiucai? Didn't get into this imperial examination? A large county with a population of 100,000.

County Teacher: Back to my lord, those seven are still the same as before, and they are already very old now.

hurriedly said, my lord, my subordinates will definitely supervise it in the future.

The county priest believes that Xinzhi County will strictly manage and improve this aspect.

I haven't heard anyone say, Xinzhi County is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he should attach great importance to it, how can he allow the level of teaching in Huining County to be too low and embarrassing.

Song Fusheng asked the county to write a material to him about the situation of the schools in the county and in various villages.

Then I asked the merchants, the tax payment status of the merchants, and what kind of business they are doing.

Just when everyone thought that this difficult meeting could be dispersed and relieved, Song Fusheng took out the map of Huining County, asked these officials to gather around the table, and ordered them to tell them about the 98 villages in Huining, where they were distributed.

In terms of population, each village should have less than 1,000 people.

However, I heard that in fact, some villages have only a few hundred people, and some villages have a few thousand people, so I will point out which village has a large population and which village has more than a dozen or twenty families. What do they live on, the situation of arable land.

The officials looked at the dense map, and said seriously, if Xinzhi County didn't take it out, this thing would fall into the cabinet, and those Zhixian counties wouldn't turn it over in the past.

Besides, how could they look at this?

The county lieutenant pointed to one of them, "This should be Antu Village, and the people of their village make a living by collecting honey." ”

"Wait a minute, Antu Village, it's east of Changbai Mountain?"

"No, my subordinates think about it, it seems to be this position."

"Then you say East. Up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east. ”

More than 20 leading cadres in Huining County almost cried: My lord, how do you know everything, you know everything, and you still ask us what we do.

The meeting went straight into darkness.

Song Fusheng returned to the backyard after being busy.

Others have started a life of endless overtime.

Lu Xiancheng was writing about the tasks assigned to him by Song Fusheng, and the situation of all the personnel in the official office should be detailed down to how much each person gets each month.

In addition, after he finished writing this, he had to write down the situation of the ninety-eight villages in a table.

Just look, Lu Xiancheng has a king-size paper in his hand, which was given to him by the magistrate.

The head, the name of each village, the correct name of each village, the population of the village, the cultivated land in the village, the amount of taxes payable in the village, other income in the village, etc., he has a big head at a glance.

The desk next to Lu Xiancheng is the master book of Qin.

Master Qin's book was carrying a burning notice from five clerical machines.

There are three aspects to the content of the notice.

On the one hand, it is to tell the people that all the righteousness has been subdued by the law, what are the current charges, and the people who have been oppressed and have grievances can rest assured that they can boldly beat the drum and voice their grievances, and the county government will wait for you to come to present their grievances within ten days and twelve hours. Expiration does not wait.

The second aspect is that the young men who have served justice and courage last time, if they see their names in this notice, please report to the county office. For specific positions, the final interpretation right is owned by the county government.

As for the three, Master Qin couldn't guess why Xinzhi County asked him to burn this.

The content is to gather heroes from all over the world, especially hunting experts, and there is no limit.

Listening to that, if they are chosen, the magistrate will arrange work for them and give them money.

What made Master Qin busy and secretly happy was: "Who is that, go to my house and tell me that I won't go back tonight." Then I asked my wife to prepare some bags, and said that I would go out with the county magistrate in two days, and the return date was uncertain. ”

See, the lord said that after returning from the general's mansion, he will take him to the countryside.

What does this mean?

It shows that he has treated him as his own.

After the master of Qin loudly instructed the officials, his heart was very beautiful, and he secretly poked and poked at Lu County Cheng and Pan County Lieutenants who were in the office. You see, I didn't take you with me.

You're done.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, he is a son of heaven and a courtier.

How could County Lieutenant Pan be in the mood to "fight for the wind and be jealous", this hurt his foot very much.

From noon till evening, he could not lift his foot.

Shinchi Prefecture later asked them to stand up and look at the map.

The superiors all stood up, and he couldn't sit still. That group was limping to the side, and stood for most of the hour.

County Lieutenant Pan secretly rubbed his feet, and then busied himself with the work at hand.

The cooks came in when the stars were shining outside, delivering food to these overtime officials.

The chubby Chen Dianshi glared: "Just eat this?" ”

Two porridge buckets, no pickles.

Lu Xiancheng sighed and took the lead in taking a bowl to scoop porridge: "The thick porridge that chopsticks can stand, what else do you want." I didn't hear the adults asking us today, how can the grain stock of less than 60 stone survive the autumn harvest? ”

Other officials are not as greedy as Chen Dianshi, and they don't care whether they eat well or badly in the official office. I'll make it up when I get home.

What bothers them is that this year's officials' food tails are gone.

Although Shinchi Prefecture didn't mention it, there is no need to doubt it.

You can see how powerful he is, not to mention the end of the year, they are really afraid that Xinzhi County will not go well, and then let them take some monthly silver.

……

These officials who are working overtime, because they fill in the transfer department's salary, they will lose the year-end bonus at most, and they will not lose their jobs for the time being.

After Song Fusheng's meeting, what really worried people were those who didn't fill in the Luge and didn't perform well.

"Dad, what should I do? If you lose your official errand, you will make others laugh at you. ”

The officials of the lower government went back to their respective homes, and some of them were annoyed by their mothers-in-law, scolded people, beat their children and daughters-in-law, and some threw things.

Others find out the ginseng or other good things they have in their own stores and plan to give them to whom.

But he walked to the door and stopped.

To whom? Those leaders can't keep themselves, unless they are sent to the magistrate.

Some families are faced with the prospect of being laid off several times at a time.

Because the craftsmanship in the hands of some officials is traditional and passed down from family to family.

It's like a pretence, it's like cutting off your head and skinning, it's like investigating a case.

Someone hesitated and asked, "Can't we come down, right?" Who's going to handle the case? ”

Xiao Zhutou said, you really don't have a hard bar with Xinzhi County, obviously, he is not afraid.

If he doesn't bring his master, he can come with his mouth open to recite the law, and he can check the accounts of the general affairs clearly, how many people have you met.

Everything, you see that the previous governors have this ability.

How many of us are still handling cases?

I didn't hear Xinzhi County sneering when it was making trouble, and said that there was no shortage of people in these years. I even suspect that Shinchi Prefecture can even do the work.

"This is really an evil sect, chief, didn't he come up from the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Yes, the evil sect is ruthless. Did you find any? The evil spirits on several of the family members brought by the magistrate are heavier than the people we have arrested. ”

Xiao Zhutou didn't say a word, it was worse than a human criminal, and at the moment of urgency, he looked more like an outlaw.

Anyway, he was convinced.

If this time it is just to organize the inspection team, and it does not affect those of them who have skills, they will be honest in the future, manage their subordinates, and ask the magistrate for instructions.

At the same time, Song Fusheng was touching his ears while eating dumplings.

The dumplings were packed by the second brother in the morning, and the dumplings got in the car and got off the car.

He got up early and went to Huanglong Mansion without eating, and the old lady specially made another meal in the morning.

"Why are my ears so hot?"

Mrs. Ma dropped a small drop of sesame oil into the fat girl's rice bowl and said, "Someone scolded you." ”

It's called a nature.

The old lady pondered, if our baby is going to be lost by Xinzhi County, we will also be scolded by the three generations of our ancestors, right?

It's not good, not only scolding, but you have to step on the villain and stab the villain and curse it thousands of times, and then write your name and throw it into the dung pit to let it stink for 10,000 years.

But she has long been downplayed, as long as she doesn't scold her son in front of her.

Quite normal.

In these years, some people praise you, and some people will scold behind your back.

It's like a notice posted tomorrow, those poor boys suddenly have an official body, and they can't wait to set off firecrackers, and the old people in the family can't wait to kowtow to her three sons in gratitude. Naturally, there will be families who have lost their errands to see her gritting her teeth and wanting to throw feces.

Mrs. Ma was down-looking, but Grandpa Song was not.

The old man is very angry as long as he imagines that someone dares to burn paper and curse Fusheng.

He said, "It's all right."

When he turned around, he would mumble when he burned paper, so that the deceased relatives of our Song Jiu clan, your father-in-law, Mr. Qian, including the three generations of the upper and lower generations who were not alive in Songjia Village before, would bless the surrounding areas of Fusheng, and the villain would retreat.

If you don't believe in evil, you will rush to the population of our Songjia Village, and you can't do those villains underground.

Song Fuling was immediately choked by the dumplings, "Cough, cough, hehehehehe." ”

Mrs. Ma hurriedly patted her on the back, "What's the good thing?" Always have fun all day. "Then why do you love to laugh so much, how can you eat at the Guogong Mansion in the future.

She was worried that her little granddaughter would be happy regardless of the occasion, so don't spray the face of the eldest princess of the old birthday star.

At night, the officials of the front office were drinking porridge and working overtime, and Song Fusheng patiently watched his daughter-in-law change one set after another in the room.

"I see, it's still dark green, so wear this when I go to the General's Mansion. I'll also wear a couple outfit with you, wearing my dark green kaftan too. ”

"Don't wear official uniforms?"

"Don't wear it, didn't the post say it? It's a private visit. ”

Tomorrow, the two of them will get up early and go to Liufu, they should have dinner there, without Poria and without inviting children.

On the second day, when the housekeeper of Liufu and the grandmother beside Mrs. Liu came out to greet them, they were all stunned.

I only saw Song Fusheng in a dark green robe, and personally helped Qian Peiying, who was wearing a dark green skirt, to get out of the carriage.

There was no entourage, not a single maid, and the entourage was just a horseman sent by the county government to catch the car.

Song Fusheng also carried a pocket in his hand, which contained a meeting gift: two bottles of chili sauce.

Many years later, Mrs. Liu remembers this scene, husband and wife came together, and there were no idle people around them.
