Chapter 50 The Beginning of Trouble

After a night of decision-making, Zhang Jian finally persuaded himself to suppress this matter for Song Zewen first.

Speaking in his heart, Song Zewen is not the kind of bad official in Zhang Jian's heart who is insatiable and misleads the country and the people, as Han Qian said, how much pure air can there be in the turbidity, how can people not bow their heads in such a general environment, and say that their women's benevolence is indecisive, just with Song Zewen's honesty a few days ago and those heartfelt words yesterday, Zhang Jian's decision to send God gave him a chance, if he dies and does not repent, he does not have to cover up for him, if he can change his evil and return to the right, it will not be in vain that he has not slept all night.

Today, Zhang Jian called Song Zewen to the back hall early, and there were many big truths in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, but on this occasion, Zhang Jian felt that he needed to say something.

After holding it for a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "What is Song County's origin?" ”

Song Zewen was stunned and replied: "Xiaguan was born in a poor family, studied hard since he was a child, and he was nearly forty years old before he became a county minister, and he was ashamed and ashamed. ”

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Then Song County is a hundred times stronger than me, half a year ago I was still in Fuzhou to escape the disaster and eat leaves, maybe God has mercy on me today." We poor people do not seek to be rich and rich, but to be fed, clothed, warm and happy, I hope that Song County Cheng will remember the promise made in front of me yesterday, worthy of the learning of the saints he has studied, and worthy of the hope of thousands of ordinary people. ”

Of course, Song Zewen heard the deep meaning in Zhang Jian's words, and he already had the idea of dying, and he couldn't help but feel relieved and fell to the ground at this time, "Xie County ordered forgiveness, and the next official will not be a good official before he changes." ”

Zhang Jian nodded: "From now on, all the miscellaneous taxes in the county will be abolished, and the officials of the government should be severely punished if there is any more clever name for corruption and perversion of the law, you don't have to worry about other things, as long as I am in Xiaoping, Du Jun will not be able to press your head." I'll give you ten days, and after ten days, I don't want any more people to come to the county office to complain about the lawlessness of the county officials. ”

Song Zewen said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely clean up the lawlessness in the county within ten days and give an explanation to the adults." ”

Zhang Jian stood up and pulled Song Zewen to the front hall, and whispered as he walked: "Song Xiancheng, it's not that I saved you this time, but I need you to save yourself, understand?" Ha ha! Let's discuss in the front room. ”

As soon as the discussion was dispersed, Zhang Jian returned to the backyard and repeated the conversation between himself and Song Zewen to Han Qian, Han Qian did not show much surprise but reminded Zhang Jian with a smile, the adult has done a good job, but he has caused a lot of difficult things to himself, how should the deficit of the treasury and Du Jun's difficulties deal with the adult?

I have to say that Han Qian's basin of cold water is just right, in the final analysis, the matter of this treasury is a matter of money, but he can't rob it, and there is really no good way to get so much money in a short period of time.

As for Du Jun, Zhang Jian couldn't help but think of a way to relieve qi that he had seen in his previous life, he asked Lu Qinggong to get a big wooden box with a height of one person and pulled it back to the backyard, Han Qian looked at the big box pulled back by Lu Qinggong and asked with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Jian smiled and silently picked up a big brush and wrote a few big characters on the wooden box, and then asked triumphantly: "What does Mr. Han think of my words?" ”

Han Qian circled around the wooden box a few times and said worriedly, "This ...... Will this work? ”

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that this Du Taishou will hate us to death." ”

Han Qian laughed dryly: "Not only do you hate death, if I am Du Jun, I will have to fight with the county order for you to never die." ”

When Han Qian said this, Zhang Jian couldn't help but hesitate. But the facts are here, he definitely can't bow his head to Du Jun, firstly, because he has no money to bribe at all, and secondly, if he is like Song Zewen who makes a living by exploiting the people, it is better to roll up and roll back to Linchuan now, and save people from pointing at the backbone and scolding his mother in this embarrassing situation.

"Mr. Han has been well-informed in the state and county for a long time, if I report this matter to the state capital, what does Mr. think?"

Han Qian smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that the county order already has an answer in my heart, if I persuade you to stop now, will you listen?" Now that the treasury is empty, Song Zewen is the first to bear the brunt, and his words alone are not enough to move a county Taishou, not to mention that the county ordered you to sue Du Jun for bribes, can you have a certificate? It was Song Zewen who gave the gift, Song Zewen who embezzled the treasury, and it was Song Zewen who raised taxes, even if the county ordered you to sue the state capital, what can you do? ”

In fact, Zhang Jian hadn't thought about this path before, and just as Han Qian said, there was little hope, and now asking is nothing more than making Han Qian completely break off this thought.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing to scruple about, anyway, you have to tear your face with Du Jun, and it doesn't matter what method you use. Now the top priority is what way to open up the source and enrich the treasury, just thinking about throttling is not a way, after all, the county office still needs to operate, even if I am not short of money, I can not do it, the officials below must support their families, I can't shout to obey the law on the one hand, but on the other hand force them to embezzle and take bribes, I can't do such an unkind thing. ”

Han Qian smiled and said, "Don't be anxious about the county order, this is not an overnight thing. Seeing that the year is over, it is better to wait for the end of the year and then think about it in the long run, and let the county government have a good year first. ”

Zhang Jian smiled coldly: "Have a good year? Hehe. ”

He first called all the gentry and gentry in the county to the county government in the name of Zhang Jian, announced in front of Zhang Jian that all the previous tax increases had been cancelled, and strictly ordered all officials not to engage in corruption for various reasons.

And Zhang Jian's purpose is also very clear, he can not blame the past for the previous things, but from today on, if anyone is caught with unclean hands and feet, he will calculate the old account in the new account, and he will vomit out twice as much as he eats.

For a time, there were four notices in the county, and the officials headed by Song Zewen finally put down their burdens, and a vigorous county office anti-fraud campaign began.

In just a few days, dozens of county and township officials were arrested, and three officers from various departments of the county bureau were to be recruited. All the officials involved posted notices to deal with them, and all the officials who refused to change their teachings were dismissed and never hired, and all the stolen goods were filled into the treasury.

Just when Zhang Jian wanted to show his strength in Xiaoping, an old friend was like a shadow, but Zhang Jian was finally able to have a good Chinese New Year's Eve.
