Suzhou, Taicang County.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office.

But since the new county lord came to Taicang, he has been running blindly every day, which has made everyone under his command scratch their heads.

"You say, our lord won't be in a relationship, right?" The county man frowned and said to the main book.

The implication is obvious.

If the other party didn't come through the back door, how could he be so out of tune?

It's been half a month since I took office, but I haven't been to the hall once!

If it weren't for their old team support, the entire Taicang County would be in chaos!

The master bookkeeper shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense! Our lord is the top of the current branch of the Spring Circle, and was personally promoted by His Majesty! Could it be someone who walks through the back door? ”

Yes, the current county master of Taicang County is Zheng Yuan, who said goodbye to Qin Fan and ran away.

"You want me to say! Wouldn't it be better if the county magistrate had been like this all the time? The prison on the side said this.

"What do you mean by that?" The county man touched his head and wondered.

"If the great master ignores mundane things! Isn't it all in the county? And my Taicang is the land of fish and rice......"

At this point, the prison guards also understood.

The county magistrate doesn't care about things, and they, the adjutants who originally assisted the county magistrate, have become a real shortage of stewards.

At that time, if someone wants to do something and asks to come to the county, let alone do a little bit.

Don't look at the dots once and divide them down, everyone can't get much.

But I can't help that Taicang is a big county!

Even if it takes ten cases to come out of such a "sensible" person.

A few people can also make a lot of money.

However, the master book hesitated:

"If we do this, if the master finds out, won't it be the end of the calf?"

Hearing this, the prison waved his hand and said: "It's a big deal to pull the master into the water when the time comes, he will take the big head, and we will drink the soup, will he still agree?" ”

Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up.

"Okay, that's it!"

In fact, that's what they've always done!

This is a huge Taicang, and there is a lot of oil and water.

Except for the stable income from the time the case was heard.

There are other places to loot.

Let's put it this way!

After serving as a county magistrate in Taicang for three years, his net worth is comparable to that of a small clan.

In this way, you can know how much of it is boring.

The county magistrates take turns to take office, but the county officials and other adjutants are local village sages, or other meritorious or meritorious people serve as them.

And it's a lifelong career.

As long as you don't make any major mistakes and your body is fine, you can hold this position until you die.

Therefore, these people have long relied on the money they have scavenged in recent years to establish a small family in the local area.

And most of the previous county commanders were also in the same boat as them.

There are a few who can't see it, blocking the way to wealth.

They were also squeezed away, or framed by design.

Just like the previous Taicang County Commander, he only took office for less than three months before he contracted a disease and went west.

What is the disease? The few people present were very clear.

Zheng Yuan didn't know the plans of his subordinates at all.

But he could feel an extraordinary aura in Taicang County.

It stands to reason that Taicang County is the land of fish and rice.

The soil is fertile and the water conservancy conditions are good.

The grain is abundant, and the people do not worry about eating and drinking.

Moreover, this place is rich in sericulture, and the people raise silkworms and sell silk, which can also make life worry-free.

It's just that on the way to office, most of the people he saw were unclothed and skinny.

It stands to reason that it is normal for such a situation to occur once in a while.

After all, not every family can live a good life.

But if nine out of ten people are like this, then it is a strange thing.

Those who know understand that this is Taicang, the land of fish and rice.

At first glance, those who don't know think that they have entered a refugee village!

Therefore, at the beginning of Zheng Yuan's tenure, he did not (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 157: Taicang is a Qingming!

interfere in any affairs of the county, but walk in the fields every day.

I don't ask anyone, I just observe silently by myself.

Master Qin Fan once said.

The simplest and most brutal way to find out what the people need is to live their lives.

Of course, experiencing people's lives is only one of them.

Zheng Yuan also found the files of Taicang County over the years for reference and calculation.

Although he is not a general arithmetic candidate.

But Qin Fan has been teaching Cui Yao all along, and their brothers have also learned a few hands.

At least some taxes and the like are calculated, and there is no problem in the slightest.

However, at this glance, he found out some clues!

"How can the price of this raw silk be so low?"

You must know that silk, as a luxury item that can only be worn by clan disciples and wealthy elites, is very expensive.

Although weaving a silk garment, it also requires a lot of other costs, such as weaving, such as embroidery.

Then there is cutting, escorting and so on.

But in any case, the price of this raw silk is too low.

So low that Zheng Yuan doubted whether Sang Min could make a living by raising silkworms.

Write down this matter for the time being, Zheng Yuan continued to look down.

I saw that not only the price of raw silk is low, but the price of the rice produced is also 30% lower than that of other places!

You must know that Taicang is the land of fish and rice.

The rice produced is full of grains and crystalline, and it is a high-quality rice!

How can you sell the price of old rice and inferior rice?

Page by page of accounting, Zheng Yuan was shocked.

No wonder those people look like the walking dead!

After a whole year of hard work, the money that can be earned can't even maintain the food and clothing of the family.

Can you not be hungry all day long?

Where did all that money go?

Zheng Yuan didn't know, but he didn't plan to lift the stage directly.

You know, as a disciple of the family, he knows it clearly.

There can be such a means to reduce the various incomes of the people in a county.

It's definitely not something that a single family can do!

Therefore, if this matter is only revealed, if there is no evidence other than the amount of the accounts, I am afraid that no one can be helped.

And he exposed this matter and cut off the financial route of others.

I'm afraid it will be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh!

It will be eliminated soon.

Even if he is the top student in this department, even if he is from the Zheng family.

But who can guarantee that there will be no "accidents" in the champion?

For example, swimming in the lake and falling into the water, or falling on horseback.

Don't have too many surprises that can be created!

Silently closing the ledger, Zheng Yuan fell into deep thought.

I thought that I came to the place to experience three years of training and accumulate experience as an official.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I came here, I would encounter such a tricky thing.

If you don't get your worth, your life will be buried here!

Master, Master!

You chose Taicang for me as the place to be an official in the first place, was it to test me like this?

Thinking of Qin Fan's earnest teachings, Zheng Yuan's gaze became three points firmer!

If you are afraid of losing your life, you will hesitate and even join the stream.

Then how can I, Zheng Yuan, be worthy of being a disciple of Master Qin Fan?

Master, you are optimistic!

Look at how I can return Taicang to a Qingming!
