"His Royal Highness King Yan?"

"Is it really King Yan?"

"A few months ago in Chai Shikou, the old man saw the dignity of His Royal Highness King Yan from a distance, and it seemed that it really looked like ......"

"Grass people, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"The grass people see His Royal Highness King Yan......"

Suddenly, one by one, the lieutenants knelt down to Zhu Di with panic on their faces.

Zhu Di glared at Li Wang, Zhu Liang and the others, and said to the elders with a gentle face.

"Alright, elders, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

After the group grew up, they hurriedly pleaded with Zhu Di with a panicked face.

"Caomin and others implore His Royal Highness King Yan not to blame the county honor, the county lord sometimes acts differently than ordinary people, but what he does is sincere, never greedy for ink, he is definitely a Qing official!"

"Yes, please don't misunderstand His Royal Highness King Yan, the county has never been greedy for ink and the people have not been a penny, and they are still thinking about the forehead everywhere......"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Please rest assured, this king just happened to pass by here, and when he saw the elders gathered in front of the county yamen, he asked curiously!" ”

Hearing this, the elders couldn't help but smile with a smile on their faces, "Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to forgive me, you are all waiting here to sign the verification IOU!" ”

"Sign a verification IOU?"

Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, it is an IOU for taking the amount of grain from the county honorable!" An elder explained in a low voice.

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Then you guys wait a while, this king will go in and take a look!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Di walked directly to the county office with a curious face.

When Zhu Di walked all the way along the crowd corridor to the largest public house in the county office, the door of the public house opened, and five or six old people walked out, each of whom hugged a wooden box tightly, and didn't look at Zhu Di, and directly said hello to the old people around him, and hurriedly walked out.

A few old men who were already sitting at the door and waiting hurriedly walked in.

Seeing this, Zhu Di took two quick steps and quietly followed.

"This son ......"

On the side, several old men who were waiting glared at each other and wanted to catch up.

Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others behind him hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and whispered Zhu Di's identity.

The eyes of the old men suddenly widened, but under the attention of Li Wang and the others, they had to continue to sit down!

In the public house, Guo An had already been surrounded by a group of old people, and he didn't notice that in his strict county government mansion like an iron bucket, an uninvited guest had already mixed in!

"Thirty stones? Old man Wang, even if you add up your two little grandchildren, there are only seven people, and you dare to ask for an IOU of thirty stones? Even if it's given to you so much, can you eat it all? Or can you take it back? ”

"If you don't give it, twenty stones at most!"

"Huh? Old man Wang, you old man made a special trip to find the happiness of the official today? The official remembers that there are only two people in the Wang family, Wang Ada, and his mother, and you dare to ask the official for an IOU of eight stones, at most six stones! ”

"And ......"

As he spoke, Guo Anxin's anger rose upward, and the table slammed angrily.

"You all remember to this king, even if a person lets go of his belly to eat for a day, he can't eat a stone's grain for a month, the official is still young, he is not old and confused, and he will not give the official an exaggerated reward!"

"If you give the official an exaggerated report, the official will drive you back, calculate the number carefully, and come back to find the official tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

"Scribe Ding, tell the officials all the words of the officials outside, if anyone wants to fool the official again, he will give the official back to learn how to keep accounts, and after learning it, he will fool the official again......"

"Yes, county honor!"

"Hmph, just wait for a bunch of old men, and you still want to fool the official on the accounts? The official has no other skills, but no one is afraid of bookkeeping and accounting, even if he goes back to practice for a few more decades, he is not the opponent of the official! ”

The old people in the township are all laughing.

At this point, they are really convinced by the little county in front of them!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Guo An flipped through the account book in his hand again, his face was directly gloomy, and he slowly stared at the old man in front of him.

"Wang Lichang, may I ask how many households are there in your township? How many people? ”

Seeing that Guo An suddenly became so polite, the old men suddenly quieted down.

Especially Wang Shoushi, his face was full of anxiety.

"Qiqi County, there are a total of 110 households in Caomin Township, 560 people, and 30 widows and lonely people who can't afford to do bad work!"

Guo An said directly: "In this way, that's five hundred and ninety people!" ”

Wang Shoushi said: "Back to the county, that's exactly the case!"

Guo An asked lightly: "Five hundred and ninety people, how much food do they need to eat in three months?" ”

"This ......"

Wang Shoushi's face was full of shame, "The county respects and forgives sins, there are so many of them, and the grass people have not counted them!" ”

Guo An sneered: "Really? The official will calculate for you, even if a person can eat two catties a day, it is sixty catties in a month, and only one hundred and eighty catties in three months, even if it is two stones.

Don't say 590 people, just according to 600 people, it will be 1,200 stone in three months!

Why is it that your account book is counted to be 1,600 stones?

Wang Lichang, since the official took office, he has never treated the chief of the army and the chief of grain harshly!

Moreover, on weekdays, I see that the chief of the village and the chief of the grain have to work for the people of the entire township, and they will try to give you some benefits!

Even, even if he borrowed grain, the official would allow the chief and the grain chief to borrow two or three more stones!

The official really doesn't understand, why does the official tell you thousands of times, why do you want to do something on this account book?

Treat this official as a fool and force an extra 400 stones? ”

"The county respects the sin, the grass people definitely didn't mean it, it should be that when the villain registered, a few more families were registered!"

Wang Shoushi hurriedly argued.

Guo An asked lightly: "How do you know that you have registered a few more households, instead of registering a few more stones of grain for each household?" ”

“……”

Wang Shoushi's face suddenly turned pale, "The county respects the sin, the grass people are hungry and afraid!" Half of the thirty widows and lonely people in Caomin Township died of starvation!

County Zun, you haven't starved?

I don't know how afraid these hungry people are!

It's icy and snowy, and the cold at home is like standing in an ice cellar, not to mention, there is not a single grain at home to feed your stomach.

Even, the bark and grass roots ten miles away from the village were stripped naked by the villagers and entered their stomachs.

However, it is still not enough for the villagers to eat!

In just one winter, more than 20 people starved to death, and as for those children who were starved to death and froze to death, there were even more ......"

Hearing this, several old people around seemed to think of something, and their eyes were red!

It's a pity that Guo An has never seen this situation, let alone experienced it, and he doesn't eat this set!

smiled coldly, "Old Wangtou, this is not a reason for you to make fake accounts to deceive the official!" ”

"Did you know that the more food you borrow, the more you will pay back next year? Moreover, when you have borrowed all the grain, where will the people of other villages borrow it? ”

"The grass people know their mistakes!"

"If there is a mistake, you will be punished, you go back and sort out this account book for the official, and find the official tomorrow!"

"Thank you, county!"
