The county government of the county

Qin Ling looked at Li Le, who came to the county office, and had some thoughts in his heart, although the hundred people were all miscellaneous soldiers, they were also ready-made soldiers! The weapons and equipment are complete, and what is lacking is training.

Now General Zhuang has just occupied the county seat, and there are only a few hundred people in his hands, and he can barely control the county seat.

So Qin Ling smiled and said to Li Le: "Brother Li, the younger brother came out here with the general, there are many things that are not familiar with it, Brother Li is a local, and he is naturally very familiar with this place, and now the general treats the people well and recruits talents, I don't know if Brother Li is willing to serve under the general, so that the general can better govern the county and do more good things for the people, what do you think?" ”

Li Le was a little moved when he heard this, it was okay to listen to Mr. Guo, but he was a little unwilling to just dismiss and go home to stay.

Seeing Li Le's hesitation, Qin Ling knew that there was still a play, so he continued to persuade: "Brother Li! The eldest husband should be ambitious in all directions, my general's ambition is to sweep the world and build a beautiful home in the world, Brother Li is also a dignified seven-foot man, is he willing to nest at home?

Now the general has less than a thousand people, and the younger brother is only a centurion, and the strength of the general will grow in the future, so naturally Brother Li's promotion will be indispensable, right? ”

Li Le listened to it and longed for it, the Liaodong region is a bitter cold place, the folk customs are simple and strong, and he has no concept of loyalty to the imperial court, only knowing that the imperial court has not done anything good except for conscription and taxation, but he did not have the consent of Mr. Guo, and did not dare to make his own opinions.

So he said: "Brother Qin, this matter is a bit hasty, I still need to go back and discuss it with my brothers." I'll reply to Brother Qin later, can I? ”

Qin Ling smiled when he heard this: "It's easy to say!" ”

In the administrative hall of the county government, Zhuang Shaoyou and Wu Liang sat there talking, Qin Ling came in and reported the situation just now, Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed when he heard it, but then frowned and said:

"Now we occupy this county, but how to govern the county and stabilize the people's hearts next, what do you think?"

Wu Liang said solemnly: "General, governing county government is nothing more than people's livelihood and military, and people's livelihood includes clothing, food, housing, transportation, and criminal lawsuits;

Military is recruitment training and military, and I have learned the name of punishment for a few days, but I am not very clear about the rest. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou felt justified when he heard it, but the specific operation is really a bit troublesome, and the military aspect is okay, but he doesn't know anything about people's livelihood?

Talent is scarce! That's right! Careers! So he asked: "Brother Decai, I just don't know if there are capable people with good names in this county?" ”

Wu Liang said without thinking: "Speaking of sages and celebrities, it is naturally the first to recommend Mr. Niguo!" In addition, it belongs to the next, hehe, of course, there is not a small gap with Mr. Guo. ”

"Kunizini? Why is it so familiar? Could it be him? Ah, that pedantic scholar I met today??

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", haven't you heard much of this person? It seems that this romance is really harmful

Maybe this Mr. Guo is just a celebrity, and there is still a gap between him and those great talents, after all, this place is too deserted and remote. ”

Wu Liang paused and then said: "General, Mr. Guo is a great talent, he is the master of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, who came to Liaodong from Shandong to take refuge at the beginning of the year.

At the beginning, they worked together with Gongsun Du in Liaodong, but because Mr. Guo was too upright, Gongsun Du was upset, so he sent Mr. Guo to Yu, and now it has only been two months.

However, Mr. Guo is already a celebrity, the blue sky of the people, the adults of that week did nonsense, it was all up to Mr. Guo to support him, so the people did not rebel, or they would have made trouble long ago. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou heard it, this Zheng Xuan had naturally heard of it, the famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty taught many famous disciples, but he really didn't expect that this Guoyuan was also Zheng Xuan's high feet, and it seemed that he was lonely and unheard. Well, you can't let it go!

"Qin Ling, you inquire where Mr. Guo lives, I will visit in person. Oh, Brother Decai, you said that you have learned the criminal name, and then the county government will be responsible for the criminal name lawsuit, how about it? ”

"It is an honor for subordinates to serve the general!"

The west of the county

A dilapidated thatched mud house, Zhuang Shao wandered on this messy street, looking at the poor people on both sides, and felt a little sad in his heart, when will they all live a good life!

Zhuang Shaoyou took a few people and walked to a hut, which was a little dilapidated, but it was still quite tidy, much cleaner than other houses around.

A man in the yard was feeding chickens, looking dark and thin, wasn't that Guoyuan?

Zhuang Shaoyou knocked on the firewood door in front of the mountain and asked loudly, "Is Mr. Guo at home?" ”

Guo Yuan stopped feeding the chickens, turned his head to look at Zhuang Shaoyou, frowned and said, "What is the general doing here?" I've already handed over all the official warehouses to you, haven't they?

Zhuang Shaoyou said humbly: "The people of Xia Di County came to invite Mr. Guo to come out of the mountain!" ”

"Impossible, you go!" Guoyuan refused without hesitation

"Hehe, Mr. Guo, now that General Ben has just arrived here, many things are not smooth, and General Ben and his subordinates are all reckless men who go into battle to fight, where do they know how to govern the people's livelihood, so I took the liberty to come here and want to invite Mr. Guo out of the mountain for the benefit of the people!"

"How can he be in Xia, General Dare Lao came in person, and I am grateful in my heart, but I also ask the general to forgive me for being powerless!"

Zhuang Shaoyou saw that Guoyuan oil and salt did not enter, and said with a solemn face: "Mr. Guo is also a person who reads the books of sages, and he should put the common people in the world first, can Mr. Guo bear to watch these people suffer and the people's livelihood wither and ignore it!" Do you clean yourself? ”

Guo Yuan sighed and said: "General, please go back, I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou frowned, he wanted to have a seizure, but he still held back, so he turned around and walked out of the courtyard and left.

When Zhuang Shaoyou returned to the county office, it was already dusk

Wu Liang was sorting out the backlog of case files in the county, and when he saw Zhuang Shaoyou with a displeased face, he hurriedly came over and asked:

"General Zhuang, but it didn't go well? Mr. Nakuni is notoriously stubborn! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been assigned to the city. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou took a sip of the tea bowl and sighed: "Yes, I am so stubborn that I want to use a knife to cut open his brain to see what is inside!" ”

Wu Liang felt the evil aura emanating from Zhuang Shaoyou's body, and his heart trembled, and he hurriedly explained:

"It's not impossible, but it's a compromise."

"Oh? Do you have a way? ”

"You can try, since this morning, the people in the city have known that the county magistrate has fled, and many rich families have also fled

Therefore, the whole county is now very chaotic, prices are soaring, and the price of grain every hour has tripled compared with yesterday.

If you don't stop it quickly, it will have to skyrocket tomorrow, and when the time comes, the county will really be in chaos.

There were many other people who took to the streets to make trouble, and some ruffians took the opportunity to smash and loot, and the people complained about this, and so on. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's head suddenly became big when he heard this, why is it so troublesome, governing a small county town is like this, so he must not be tired to death in governing the whole country in the future?

Frowning, he said, "So many questions? So how do you fix it? And what is the relationship with Mr. Guo? ”

Wu Liang smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Guo is the most upright, dedicated to doing things for the people, and always can't help but take care of those bad things, but as a result, he offended Gongsun Du and was assigned to Yudi, and this is also the case in Yudi, Lord Zhou hates him so much that his teeth itch, and my lord can do this tomorrow." ”

Wu Liang muttered in Zhuang Shaoyou's ear for a while, and then the two looked at each other and laughed together.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Shaoyou was dressed in a messy manner, his face was not washed, and he ran to the city in a panic with a few rolls of things that Wu Liang had organized.

Qin Ling and the others were very puzzled, but Zhuang Shaoyou had ordered them not to mix, so they didn't dare to move.

In the hut of Guoyuan in the west of the city, Guoyuan gets up before dawn to feed the chickens and ducks, and then recites poetry and books and eats breakfast.

Just after breakfast, Guo Yuan looked at the rising sun, feeling a little bored and a little empty in his heart.

Zhuang Shaoyou ran to Guoyuan's hut in a hurry, and did not say hello, but retreated from the firewood door and entered the house.

"Mr. Guo!"

Guo Yuan saw that Zhuang Shaoyou was coming, and his brows furrowed, why did this person still come? Annoying?

"Why did the general come to the humble house again? Didn't I say it all yesterday? I won't go! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't pick up, but hurriedly ran to him, opened the paperwork in his hand, and said:

"Mr. Guo, the big thing is not good, the price of rice in the county soared yesterday, the price of rice tripled, and it has continued to rise since early this morning, and the price of vegetables, meat, cloth, firewood, oil and salt are all uncontrollable!

I sent people to suppress it, but people didn't pay attention to it at all, I can't smash and rob it, now the people in the county are panicking, and in a few days the people can't even afford rice, and then it will be troublesome if they rebel, what do you think should be done? ”

Guo Yuan was originally very unhappy, but when he heard Zhuang Shaoyou's words and looked at the paperwork again, he was even more annoyed, and asked loudly: "Why didn't you say it earlier, open a position at a flat price!" The price of rice has fallen, and the rest of nature has fallen! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said innocently: "How do you get it?" My men are all big bosses, and they won't! ”

Guo Yuan glared at him angrily: "What are you talking about sweeping the world, and what are you talking about building a beautiful home for the people?" Let's go, go to the county office! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou hurriedly agreed

The two of them rushed to the county office in a hurry, and Guoyuan skillfully drilled into the government hall, quickly found some things from the stack of documents, and then began to deal with them.

Zhuang Shaoyou was happy in his heart, quietly retreated, and then told Qin Ling a few words, just let him do everything according to Mr. Guo's words.

Qin Ling smiled on the side and said: "General, you are really a good strategy, isn't this fooling the donkey to pull the mill for nothing?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou glared at him and threatened: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut your tongue!" Let's settle the new accounts and the old accounts together! ”

Qin Ling smiled wryly, but didn't dare to speak

From early morning to dusk in the afternoon, the prices of the grain market in Qiqi County fell back and gradually approached the normal level, and Guoyuan issued several official documents to let people go to the market to stabilize prices.

Within one day, the county was decided.
