This is the fourth month of Zhang Jian's arrival in Ren Xiaoping, and since the first day he came to Xiaoping a year ago, Zhang Jian doesn't seem to have really been idle for a day.

Zhang Jian took the risk to suppress the deficit of the treasury for Song Zewen, and then borrowed Song Zewen's hand to rectify the governance of the county officials, and now he is even more perverse and forced these squires and rich households to take money to temporarily make up for the deficit of the treasury for themselves. It can be said that everything is going well, but Zhang Jian, Han Qian and Song Zewen all know that this is just drinking to quench their thirst.

The squire of the powerful clan led by Siwang will not swallow this breath, and what is even more worrying is that there is a Du Jun who is far away in Nanzhang and does not speak, but the seemingly good situation hides a murderous intention, which makes people feel a faint chill behind them.

After more than a month, Zhang Jian and Song Zewen came to the west of the city again, and this time the two did not have the depression and confusion of the last time, because now their pockets are bulging. With money, there will be no scruples about what you want to do but don't dare to do, and with money, some impossible things will become possible.

"Song Xiancheng, the official has done what the official promised you, and now it's up to you to get it. I will see these ownerless wastelands become fertile land, and you will have to make up for the debts and infamy you owe. Zhang Jian said in a deep voice with a whip and a weak finger.

Song Zewen turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Zhang Jian's horse, and sobbed: "The grace of the county order reconstruction, the officials should always remember it, and the next matter of clearing the wasteland, the officials will do their best to make up for their mistakes." ”

Zhang Jian nodded, now that there is no shortage of money, the previous troubles are no longer troubles, but the most important thing at the moment has become how to deal with Du Jun, and Zhang Jian has been thinking about this question repeatedly in his mind all the way.

Zhang Jian, who returned to the county government from the west of the city, had always frowned, and he didn't even know when he sat on the stone bench in the backyard.

"Sir! Why are you sitting here, beware of catching a cold? Feng Si came out of the wing room and happened to see Zhang Jian sitting there.

Zhang Jian was still in a daze, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking, muttering in his mouth: "What's so good about being an official?" Do more and think more, scruple about this and that, so tired. ”

Feng Si on the side heard Zhang Jian muttering something, but because his voice was too small and he didn't hear it, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, how majestic you are as an official, those big clan heads are afraid of you, and they send things to the county government one by one, but I don't think you are happy at all?" ”

"Majestic?" Zhang Jian chuckled.

"Yes! But sir, you are inevitably too incorruptible, I see that the cart of property is pulled into the mansion, and you don't even look at it a second time, so you let Mr. Han fill it into the treasury. ”

"Incorruptible?"

Zhang Jian sighed and couldn't help but fly out of the distance, yes, he let Song Zewen sing red-faced, and made an idea in front of this gang of powerful squires, and finally these people paid money to the county government in the name of public security donations, but why can't they be interested in looking at this pile of money?

"What's the use of having money? I want to buy a luxury watch, I want to have a big meal! ”

"What? Is this antiquity? No. ”

"Then I'm going to buy electronics, I'm going to have a snack!"

"Still not."

Zhang Jian laughed self-deprecatingly: "Feng Si, do you know what is the worst thing in this life?" It's just that you have money but can't buy what you want, so what does it matter if you have more money and less money? ”

Listening to Zhang Jian's self-deprecation, Feng Si couldn't help but smirk: "Master, a character like you naturally has a lot of things and has enjoyed them." But the small one is different, the little one has been poor for several lifetimes, if he can let the old lady in his hometown live in a big house and have servants to serve him, the little one will be satisfied. ”

Zhang Jian patted Feng Si's shoulder and said, "There will be a big house, and there will be servants, when will you settle down and stop running around, hey......!"

Before the words were finished, Zhang Jian got up and walked towards the study blankly, leaving only Feng Si behind him silently staring at Zhang Jian's distant back.

A few days later, the notice of the county government to open up the wasteland was posted to the four gates, as long as the landless people in Xiaoping County participated in the land reclamation, the official uniform would provide farm tools, cattle and seeds free of charge.

Moreover, as long as every Wednesday, June and 9 days of every month, the people can go directly to the lobby to report illegal things in person, and no one can stop them, and those who violate them will be severely punished.

As soon as the notice came out, the people in the city all cheered and shouted to tell each other, you must know that according to the agricultural law of the Chu State, the land opened by the people can be tax-free for three years, before everyone did not have the energy and money to support the wasteland, and now the government has come forward to bear all, this is really a happy event that has been rare for decades, how can it not make people surprised.

But at this time, the atmosphere in the back hall of the county government was not as appropriate as outside, and Zhang Jian, Han Qian, and Song Zewen were carefully calculating the approximate cost of clearing the wasteland.

Although there is a lot of money in the account, it is always stretched when it comes to use, especially Han Qian has to be careful about the deficit that has just been made up.

"Song County, you have to check clearly, this pit wasteland is not a trivial matter, don't invade the owner's land and cause trouble when the time comes."

"The county order is assured, the lower officials are in Xiaoping from Gongcao to the county, and I dare not say that this field is familiar with the chest."

"That'll be fine."

When it came to the field, Song Zewen seemed to suddenly remember something, "Xia Guan was in a hurry and almost forgot one of the most important things, this reclamation of wasteland needs to be reported to the county summer, and it can only be implemented after the order of the county summer, if you don't report it, I'm afraid this field will be difficult to enter the register." ”

"County Summer?" As soon as Zhang Jian heard these two words, he was big, but he was working in Nankang, and he couldn't avoid this pass after all, "Song County Cheng, how much did Du Jun usually ask for bribes?" ”

"This... Xia Guan remembered that the detailed accounts were relatively trivial, but they should be five hundred yuan a year. ”

"Five hundred." Zhang Jian sighed and immediately said to Han Qian: "Mr. Han gave me seven hundred yuan, and I will go to Nanzhang in person." ”

Song Zewen was surprised: "The county order wants to go in person?" ”

Zhang Jian sighed and said: "It is a helpless move to humiliate Du Jun in the past, and this bell must be tied to the bell person, and others are afraid that it will not be successful." Now since we don't have to worry about money, why should we get along with him, everything has a priority, and now the matter of clearing the wasteland should be the first place, and I will personally go to Du Jun to compensate him. ”

Zhang Jian looked at Song Zewen and continued: "Song County Cheng, as the saying goes, 'the hall official of flowing water, the little official of iron', the previous purge in the county was too demanding of those little officials. I, Zhang Jian, am not mean people, as long as they are diligent in their own affairs and their hands and feet are clean, can you add one plus to this one, now we have to make such a big move, we still have to avoid chaos within ourselves, you have to beware of Siwang and others in the days I left, I expect that they will not give up. ”

"Rest assured, the county order will not go back and forth to Nanzhang for seven or eight days, even if there is a delay on the road, it will not exceed ten days, and the lower officials will definitely be more careful."

"Then the county bureau has Mr. Lao Han and Song County Cheng to work hard."

Han Qian raised his head and asked, "You don't need to accompany you here when you go to Nanzhang?" ”

"Mr. will stay in Xiaoping and Song Xiancheng to jointly preside over the opening of the wasteland, this time I will only bring Qinggong and a few guards."
