Tongfulou has always been a transcendent existence in Shouyang County, no matter who has an accident, Tongfulou will not have an accident.

Don't look at the tables and chairs in the building, all the things that have been carried away will be carried back as soon as this matter subsides.

Therefore, even if there is no county in the county office, the officers consciously guard the building so as not to be counted as a posterior.

Although Qu Qingyan had just arrived in Shouyang County and didn't know much about the situation here, she knew what they were planning to do just by looking at the looks of the messengers, and she turned her head to look at Feng Dianshu.

"There's a seal on this place that I can't even get into?"

Feng Dianshu laughed dryly, according to Qu Qingyan, as the magistrate of Shouyang County, there is no place in this county that she can't manage and can't go.

Can...... No matter who it is, if you are on the same Fulou, you will soon become a dead person.

They are all about to become dead, so what is there to respect.

"Quzhi County, all the furnishings in this Tongfu Building have been carried away, and there is nothing to look at in the emptiness."

Qu Qingyan took out the seal letter of the county magistrate and handed it to the two messengers: "Get out of the way." ”

They have naturally seen the seal letter of the magistrate, but they are just ...... The two of them looked at Feng Dianshu hesitantly, Feng Dianshu wanted to continue to persuade him to go first, but Qu Qingyan swept a cold eye, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Quzhi County told you to get out of the way, didn't you two hear?"

The seal was opened, and the door was pushed open by two messengers, one left and one right, and a thin layer of ash had floated on the ground in the building after being closed for a few days, and Feng Dianshu followed Qu Qingyan into the building.

The last time she came over, because the room was not enough, she had been avoiding suspicion, but she didn't have the extra heart to look at the situation in this building.

Only now, there is a lack of tables and chairs in the building, and I can't see what kind of luxury and extravagance it was before.

"Where are the tables and chairs that were stolen from the Tongfu Building now?"

"It's still in the county, but it's just taken away and detained by the people sent by the palace, and no one in the county government can go there to take stock and liquidate."

When Feng Dianshu said this, he suddenly thought of this Tongfulou This time, I am afraid that he will encounter a hard nail, the Yuwang Mansion is different from the previous prefects of the county, it is the Yuwang who has great military exploits and the entire northwest is in his hands.

If King Yu has the heart to make a move, then this time this Tongfulou is afraid that it will really hang......

Feng Dianshu's eyes wandered on Qingyan's body, and he suddenly thought that she was originally the student official that Zhu Jinrui specially brought from the capital, and now she was given the position of magistrate of Shouyang County.

Although the position of the magistrate is only the seventh grade, Qu Qingyan is already an official position with the sixth grade because he won the champion and was sent abroad, but the position of the school official is always a bit empty, and it cannot be compared with the lack of such a real lack as the magistrate.

Even the magistrate of a big county is willing to give it, this person's status in Zhu Jinrui's heart is self-evident, was he too neglectful just now......

The more Feng Dianshu thought about it, the more panicked he became, and hurriedly rushed to Qu Qingyan's side in small steps: "Qu Zhixian, although this Tongfu Building has also been raided several times before, it has not been completely confiscated this time, if it weren't for the shelf bed in this building, it is really not easy to move, I am afraid it will not be left behind." ”

Qu Qingyan hummed lightly, since it is Zhu Jinrui's handwriting, he will definitely do things according to his temperament.

He, a person who was born in the palace and has been killed on the battlefield for many years, understands the truth that cutting grass must be eradicated, no matter what the reason is, since he has already moved Tongfu Building, he will definitely not leave any way back.

In the room on the second floor, where she stayed with Yu Youtai that day, after they left, all the furnishings in the room had been copied, and even the chess pieces that were swept away by Zhu Jinrui were no longer visible.

I don't know if it was too clean, or if someone came into the building after that to clean it up.

The room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, the outer room is where she and Yu Youtai have dinner and chess, because she has been thinking of avoiding suspicion and going to the third floor to rest, she did not go in the inner room that day.

The gauze tent on the bed on the shelf has been torn off, and the bedding and soft pillows on the bed have disappeared, Qu Qingyan stood in front of the bed and looked at the pattern of fish playing with lotus leaves on it, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.

The situation on the third floor is similar to that on the second floor, except that there are no beds in some rooms, not only did they not have them in the first place, but they were carried away.

When Qu Qingyan returned to the backyard of the county government, it was getting late, and Mama Wang hired a few cooks to find her mother-in-law, and the yard where she wanted to live had all been reorganized.

"Young master, you were so busy when you first arrived in the county, don't be tired, let's eat first."

Mama Wang stepped forward to serve her to change out of her official uniform, changed into a half-worn cotton robe, Qu Qingyan sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, closed her eyes, and her mind was still a mess in Tongfu Building in Shouyang County.

This mess was cut by Zhu Jinrui's quick knife, and now it is all threads, which one is useful, and she can touch the secret behind it, and she can't find it at all with her current understanding of Shouyang County.

Can't find ...... Then it's better not to look for it.

If this Tongfulou is really involved in Beijing, Zhu Jinrui has taken a good move, and if he and Qu Wenhai come to deal with the aftermath, he really wants to be beautiful!

In the next few days, Qu Qingyan completely threw away everything in Tongfulou and only concentrated on understanding the situation in the county.

As a parent official, the people of the county have to survive under his wing, thinking that in the past, Qu Bozhong would pull her every time she was drunk and talked about the difficulty of being a county magistrate, she was very puzzled at that time, and now she has walked on the old road of Qu Bozhong to know what is not easy.

It is already about to enter winter, this year's autumn harvest has already ended, and the taxes have been harvested, but this year there is a drought in the northwest, and only two rains have fallen in the whole summer, and the crops are only about to die in the ground.

Without a harvest, the county government will not be able to collect taxes from the villages and towns, the tasks of the state government will not be completed, and the county government will not have a source for the expenses for the coming year.

Qu Qingyan looked at the extremely bleak account books, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Pingxian County is located in Shandong, not to mention the perennial wind and rain, the year of drought and flood is really not much, only encountered a year of continuous rain, the result of Qu Bozhong also had an accident was hit by a falling rock.

"Quzhi County, this is the situation in the northwest all year round, it's useless for you to worry." Feng Dianshu walked in with the account books of the previous years, and saw that although Qu Qingyan was expressionless, his brows were tightly locked, obviously worried about the situation in the county.

"In previous years, how did the county deal with this situation?"

"In previous years," Feng Dianshu smiled, took out an account book from front of him and handed it to Qu Qingyan: "My lord, you will understand after reading this." ”

Feng Dianshu smiled mysteriously, Qu Qingyan took the account book and turned a few pages, and the pain was even worse.

She only knew that the situation of the county schools in each county was extremely inconsistent with the reality, but she didn't think about how the money would be misappropriated.

What should she do if it was money for relief?

The yamen of the prefectures, counties, and towns of the previous dynasty were ordered to prohibit it at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, and Taizu strictly forbade the government offices at all levels to do this again, but this northwest ...... It has been nearly 100 years since the founding of the country, and it still retains the old habits of the previous dynasty.

Does Zhu Jinrui know about this?

Qu Qingyan shook his head secretly as soon as he surged up this year, although Zhu Jinrui is not a fool although he has few cold words, he has been in the northwest for a year, how can he not know such a thing.

No wonder he had already refused Emperor Jing's summons, and he was not going to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but he still entered Beijing at the last moment.

What he wants is someone who can be the knife in his hand, and bring all the problems hidden in the northwest to the surface, and then whether it is rectification or amnesty, he can go to Emperor Jing to ask for an explanation.

Qu Qingyan leaned back in his chair, and suddenly thought that if she and Yu Youtai hadn't left Chang'an Mansion that day, what would he have found to get her to this Shouyang County?

Thinking that day on the official road, Zhu Jinrui forced her to give an answer like that, and she felt extremely ridiculous.

This kind of man's scheming is unfathomable, and she can only stay away from it from now on.

She clutched the account book tightly, and suddenly raised her head to look at Feng Dianshu: "Most counties and towns in the northwest do this kind of thing to put money in print?" ”

"Yes, almost all county officials will privately put money to make up for it, and you also know that the turmoil in the northwest is not a day or two, and it is just a land of fish and rice that is generally the same as the south of the Yangtze River.

"You also see how poor it is here, the court doesn't give subsidies, and there are a lot of copper plates every year, isn't this also urgent. Everyone knows that this is a head-off thing, but if you don't do it, you can't do it. ”

Feng Dianshu's words seem to be extremely reasonable, but Qu Qingyan turned the account book to the end, and it was already found that only part of the whereabouts of the Yinzi money were subsidized to the county government, and the other part was divided up by these officials in the county.

Qu Qingyan closed the account book, and the sigh in his heart couldn't be stopped: "Will the Chang'an Mansion also put the money in private?" ”

"It's not clear about this little one, but this matter has been going on for a long time, and no one has come to check it, and I'm afraid that I will secretly put some of it in private."

It's all connected from top to bottom......

What is she going to do, is she going to be in the same league or pretending to keep the character of a scholar to expose the matter directly?

Thinking of the so-called scholar's backbone, Qu Qingyan suddenly slapped the bookcase and stood up, no wonder Zhu Jinrui has always emphasized that he must be a truly learned person, but anyone who gets the first class will definitely have an arrogance in his heart that he does not want to go along with the dirt.

If she is a native of this time and space, I am afraid that at this time, she will have already delivered a letter to the Yuwang Mansion or directly to the capital.

What Zhu Jinrui wants is for someone to expose this matter openly, and no longer hide in the shadows at all levels of the yamen to make private accounts.

She had cold sweat on her back, but her heart was already a little happy, and she figured out the key to this, Zhu Jinrui's abacus was afraid that she would not be able to dial it out here.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow, I will go to the streets and the countryside to count the number of seowon and private schools and the specific number of students, and it would be best if I could find out the specific number of students in the county."

Whether it is Tongfulou or the private accounts in the county government, she is ready to suppress it like this first, as long as Zhu Jinrui doesn't ask her, she just doesn't find out.

"My lord, the number of scholars in our county is still the most among the neighboring counties, so it is really wise that you choose the location of civilization here."

Feng Dianshu was very old-fashioned to avoid why Qu Qingyan came here, only if this was her voluntary coming to Shouyang County to practice.

"Once you have a talent and fame, you won't be conscripted, and your family can also reduce taxes, why are there still very few people in the northwest who are willing to study?"

Go to Qingyan, you don't know why this Feng Dianshu has become so good, but he is obedient and easy to use, and she doesn't bother to explore the reason behind it.

Although this position of the bookkeeper can be held as long as she has a talent and fame, but people will have selfishness and small abacus, and she has no foundation here, so why bother to do this.

These words seemed to have asked Feng Dianshu's heart, and as soon as he opened the conversation, he said again: "My lord, everyone knows the benefits of Xiucai, and when you go out, you can be called Master Xiucai, which is already a great joy in the northwest."

"But this Xiucai is really more difficult to take the test than lifting people, there are four county exams, and there are government exams, and many people have to be screened out at each level, and adults, you should know that you can't copy the Zhu scroll when you take the Xiucai."

If you don't copy the Zhu scroll and only make a name, there are too many things that can be done behind it.

Qu Qingyan was able to get Zhongxiucai at the age of twelve, which was inseparable from Qu Bozhong, and as the chief examiner of the county exam, he let Qu Qingyan get the first of the four exams.

Feng Dianshu didn't say Qu Qingyan clearly, but he already understood that Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi have always had rules, and if one person wins, it is very likely that others will be squeezed out.

If anyone uses some dishonorable means......

Qu Qingyan suddenly thought of the academy in the town, and the steward swore that he could help them get talented.

"This is part of the open source in the county government?"

She asked very politely, which made Feng Dianshu a little embarrassed.

"My lord, you also know the situation in the county, and all the brothers in the county government also have to eat, which is also something that can't be helped."

The amount of information she got in the past half a day was really a lot, Qu Qingyan waved her hand to signal Feng Dianshu to leave, she stood in front of the window, thinking about this one by one, and suddenly shook her head and laughed.

It is said that it is rare to be confused, that is, in front of Emperor Jing, Qu Wenhai and the elders of the pavilion have their own careful thoughts, but it is just a northwest county, why should she be too careful and serious.

Feng Dianshu also had his intention to have such a simple showdown with Qu Qingyan, the situation in this county is like this, it has never changed over the years, and the previous governors of the county have not thought about rectifying it.

It's just that the result of remediation is a compromise.

In such an environment, with no one behind him, how can his arms be twisted over his thighs.

He would tell Qu Qingyan like this that he also had the intention of letting her make her own decisions, and it didn't matter if she wanted to toss it or not.

Qu Qingyan naturally wants to do something to save face, the entire northwest is in Zhu Jinrui's hands, if she is so irresistible and directly in the same stream, it will seem that she is too undisciplined.

And she always has to give herself a little time to cope.

So in the half month she took office, she was like a headless fly in everyone's eyes, going east and west, her heart seemed to be very big and wanted to change everything, but her ability was too limited to change anything.

Yuwang Mansion, in the palace.

Mr. Liu stood in the hall and asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, why hasn't Shouyang County heard the news for a long time?" ”
