Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 112
"Magistrate of Chu County, Xiapi County now has about 160,000 registered households, with a population of about [-] and [-] people. This is the household registration file. This is the number of households a few years ago, and it has changed a long time ago. The magistrate of Chu County has just taken office, so if you want to know the situation of the county, you need to know the household registration." In the yamen office belonging to Xiapi County, the county asked people to carry up the mountain-like files, and smiled at the somewhat dazed Chu Nan .

"Heh, being able to serve as Xia Piling at such a young age? It's not because of the relationship of the slaves of the three surnames, but the county magistrate is not so easy to be, you should teach him to suffer."

On the main seat, looking at the humble county magistrate, Chu Nan nodded and said, "That's right, the magistrate Wang has worked hard."

"The next one is the county magistrate's assistant official, some small things are the job of the subordinate officials." The county magistrate said with a smile.

The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant are officials at the county level. Others, including the master book and thief Cao, are all officials. But the county magistrate has no right to directly deal with the county magistrate. Of course, given the relationship between Chu Nan and Lu Bu, he can report to Lu Bu and directly remove the county magistrate.

But relying on Lu Bu for everything will make him appear incompetent, and over time, it will make people doubt his ability. Even the people under him can't handle it, so they can expect to do great things?Secondly, there are official rules in the officialdom. People treat you respectfully at least on the surface. If you don’t exceed the etiquette, if you get angry for no reason, it will be even more difficult for someone to do things for you in the future.

"How many of you are all masters?" Chu Nan nodded with a smile, looked at the people behind Wang Xiancheng, and asked with a smile.

"Exactly." The six people bowed and said, Xiapi is now the Xuzhou government office, and the county magistrate has a full six masters, and the specifications are quite good.

"Huang Kou is a county magistrate, it seems that life will be much easier in the future."

"He is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Lu Bu will definitely not be stingy in allocating property to the county. Hehe, Huangkou is good."

Chu Nan looked at the six master books, listened to their thoughts, got up and walked to the boxes of files, picked up a few volumes and opened them to read, and asked after a while, "Is this something that must be done?"

"The county magistrate of Chu is newly appointed. If he wants to govern well, these must be done." Wang Xiancheng said with a smile.

"That's right." Chu Nan nodded in agreement, then frowned and said, "However, these files are messy and disorderly. They are divided into categories, how many people are in a household, what kind of business they are engaged in, and the property of the family must be listed one by one, and they are sorted and filed separately according to the differences between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businesses. Be quick, and don’t delay the time for the official to check. "

Although he has never been in the officialdom, he has been in the workplace, how to use the power in his hand, how to divide and disintegrate the people who are united under him, he knows it too well, the new official has three fires, this is the first , since you came to the door yourself, let's burn you.

"Chu county magistrate, this..." Wang Xiancheng looked at Chu Nan in astonishment, but the eyes of the six masters fell on him.

"Why, isn't this what they should do?" Chu Nan looked at Wang Xiancheng, still with that kind expression on his face, "There's no reason for me to turn on the lamp to read at night, but the master book has nothing to do, right?"

The smile on Wang Xiancheng's face was a little stiff, and he nodded silently without speaking.

"Do well, if you do well, you will be rewarded, if you don't do well, I will reward you all with a big meal." Chu Nan patted Wang Xiancheng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The county magistrate, chief secretary, and Lie Cao belonged to each family, but the county magistrate was in charge of Wei Yue after Chu Nan asked Lu Bu to ask for it, and the board was in his own hands.

"Let's go, let's go to the county prison." Chu Nan ignored the six hopeless masters. Sometimes PUA in the official world is better than PUA in the workplace, especially for a man with a background like himself who has power in his hands. , There are people behind, these people want to bully their youth?If you don't clean up, who do you clean up?

In the county jail, there was almost no empty cell. A prisoner looked numbly at Chu Nan who came in. In the dank and dark cell, Chu Nan felt not only despair, but also despair.

"What did these people do?" Chu Nan asked as he walked.

"Probably because he refused to pay the tax." The jailer followed Chu Nan, carefully explaining that this is the new county magistrate, Lu Bu's son-in-law, Wang Xiancheng is a member of the Wang family, and the Xiapi family, neither of them dare offend ah.

"Refused to pay taxes?" Chu Nan stopped and asked, "When were you arrested?"

"Most of them were arrested in the past six months." The jailer said.

It's not intentional, but after Lu Bu took office, in order to raise military funds, he raised taxes several times. In this chaotic world, even if the situation in Xuzhou is better than other places, the people have little surplus food. The arable land is handed over to the local wealthy family to be a tenant farmer. Not only does he not have to pay taxes, but his life is better than before. However, in this way, Lu Bu has fallen into a vicious circle. The less money he has, the more taxes he has to pay. The heavier the weight, the more people will go to the gentry and the powerful.

Chu Nan solved the salt problem for Jin Caoshi before and allowed Lv Bu to control an economic line. With this, Lv Bu gradually gained some financial autonomy.

But having money in the state capital doesn't mean that the common people can feel much easier. Most of Lu Bu's money and food are used to support soldiers, but the common people's taxes have not been cut.

After learning the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Nan chose to be silent.

"Is there any other way? Huangkou Xiaoer, even if I don't deal with you, this place of Xiapi is not something people like you can control." Wang Xiancheng thought with a sneer in his heart.

Chu Nan looked back at him.

"What are you looking at me for?" Wang Xiancheng was a little guilty, Chu Nan's gaze always made him feel like he was being watched, which was not a good feeling.

"Let's go." Chu Nan didn't say anything, and left the prison directly. The work of the county magistrate is not too much. He is in charge of people's livelihood. Da, the township head and Lizheng below are mostly local clans, and they are usually held by local respected people. You will not recognize them if you appoint them casually. In this era of underdeveloped information, it is an iron law, and it may not be the case in modern times. It can be done, let alone now.

For these local clans, they are more willing to believe in powerful families that can bring them benefits, especially now that Lu Bu imposes heavy taxes, and local violent resistance to taxes is not uncommon.

If there were no external threats, Chu Nan would have suggested that the family should be allocated to the mu, but now that this policy is being implemented, it will definitely force all the big and small aristocratic families to the opposite side.

After getting acquainted with county affairs with Wang Xiancheng, and roughly clarifying his rights, Chu Nan sent him away.

In the government office, Chu Nan played with the official seal of the county magistrate, frowning in thought.

160,000 more than 8000 people In a county with nearly 170,000 people, it is not without reason that the daily luck provided is less than [-]. Although the household registration is still being sorted out, Chu Nan can imagine that most of the population has already entered the pockets of wealthy families , and the rest either do not recognize Lu Bu or are extremely resistant to Lu Bu.

Before becoming a prefect, one must sort out Xiapi County first.

After staying in the government office for a while, Chu Nan came out and looked at the cloud sea of ​​luck that belonged to Xuzhou above his head. Not to mention covering the sky and sun like Xuchang, it couldn't even completely cover the area of ​​the government office.

There is a long way to go to strengthen this luck within a year.

Chu Nan left the government office and went straight to Mi's house. To resolve these matters, he still needs to make a profit in the end. He can't offer benefits now. Generally, this benefit needs to be obtained from the big family, and the Mi family has a ready-made one. When will the money man not wait any longer?
After voting for Lu Bu, Mi Fang became the prefect of Pengcheng. Later, Chu Nan went to Xuchang as an envoy, and Mi Fang was transferred back to Lu Bu. There was really no one around him, and Lu Bu was not good at government affairs. People help him deal with it.

Now that Lv Bu has the official position of state shepherd, he directly appoints Mi Fang as his assistant, who specializes in helping Lv Bu handle various government affairs.

"Zi Yan, a rare visitor." Seeing Chu Nan coming in, Mi Fang smiled.

"Brother Zifang, I came here today to find Brother Zifang to help." Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and smiled.

"Oh?" Mi Fang signaled the servants to serve drinks, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Zi Yan has just made a great contribution and was promoted to county magistrate, so you don't mean to ask me to help you with county affairs?"

After all, Chu Nan is too young, even if he has already shown a lot of ability, but the lord of a county is different from what Chu Nan used to do. After all, Chu Nan is young, and the officialdom may not be easy to play.

"The county affairs are not bad, and I'm competent, but it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and I have no food in my hands, so I can't use people, so I want to ask Brother Zifang for help."

"Borrowing food?" Mi Fang said straightforwardly, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"It's not borrowing food, but land and people. How many tenants does the Mi family have in Xiapi?" Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and smiled.

"Can I borrow this cultivated land?" Mi Fang looked at Chu Nan, a little confused.

"Aside from his wife and life, what else can I borrow?" Chu Nan sighed, and roughly explained the problems he saw: "I can't do anything about it, if the people's taxes are not reduced, even if there is no foreign enemy, they will collapse on their own. It is possible to reclaim new fields, but at least someone needs to be in hand, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mi Fang nodded and said, "Most of the children in the clan were taken away by their elder brothers. If we talk about tenant farmers, there are only 7000 people in Xiapi, and the land is about [-] mu. How much do you borrow?"

"It's all borrowed." Facing Mi Fang's astonished gaze, Chu Nan said, "I'm going to cultivate new crops, and the harvest shouldn't be too bad. [-]% of the income from farming is considered as the rent amount, which goes to Mi's family, [-]% to the tenant farmers, and the rest The remaining [-]% will go to the government treasury, the land is too little and not enough, Brother Zifang, without your help, this matter will be difficult to accomplish, if this matter is accomplished, there must be a big thank you."

Only [-]% of the income is really cheap, but Mi Fang can't refuse when Chu Nan asks, after all, he has today, so he should ask Chu Nan for help to settle the matter, that's all, help him once, and he has the right to repay his kindness.

At that moment, Mi Fang nodded and said, "Okay."
