The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 240 Taking over Chang'an County

"I won't make changes for the time being. When I took over, everyone didn't know me well, which would arouse people's speculation. Small changes will lead to big changes, so as to prevent chaos. Everything remains the same. It is what it is." Tang Dai returned to the man, who got an affirmative answer and returned it.Everyone here probably wants to ask this question.

"To the county lord, what I heard from you is that after you took over Chang'an County, everything will go on as usual. Then, do you have any ideas, or ideas, to make your fief more prosperous and better? Another person who looked like a celebrity stood up. Tang Dai saw that it should be Yan Ping's father, Mr. Yan. He was standing beside Yan Ping, and they were very similar.

"Master Yan, your question is on point. When I take over Chang'an County, the first thing is to develop the economy of Chang'an County and make the people in Chang'an County rich. I want every family to have surplus food and surplus silver. In the past, everyone should You know, with the cooperation of the government, I have vigorously developed the economy in Chang'an County, and in the future, it will still be the same, and I will use the past as the foundation to bring Chang'an County to a higher level."

Master Yan got Tang Dai's reply and returned it.

"Do you have any questions? Yes, keep asking. No, everyone go. It's fine for the people from the county government to stay." Seeing that everyone was silent and there were no more questions, Tang Dai asked again.

"We have no problem. Let's leave." In an instant, a bunch of people left in a hurry, leaving only the county government's Master Qian Liang, Li Shiye, the county magistrate Xu Xiancheng, and the county magistrate Tang.

Seeing the crowd receding, Tang Dai raised her eyes and glanced at the three of them.

"Bring me the recent account book." Tang Dai ordered the three of them.

After a while, stacks of ledgers were piled up in front of Tang Dai. The county magistrate, Master Qian Liang, and Tang Jiaxiao looked at Tang Dai's tiny figure buried in a pile of ledgers, and exchanged glances. It looks small, but it's not simple, don't see the tricks they did!

Sitting there, Tang Dai was not in a hurry, nor was she intimidated by the pile of ledgers. Her pair of clear red phoenix eyes glanced to the left and right of the ledgers, then raised her head again, and observed the three books through the gaps in the ledgers. people's faces.Take a look at the ledger on the left, then look at the faces of the three people, look at the ledger on the right, and then look at the faces of a few people, look at the ledger in the middle, and then look at the faces of a few people.

After she finished looking up, down, left, right, and right, Tang Jiaxiao and the three of them had beads of sweat on their faces, and their hearts were pounding. This little county magistrate is too scary. What on earth is she trying to do? !
Tang Dai leisurely took out three books from the bottom of the left ledger, the middle of the right ledger, and the top of the middle ledger, and never looked at the three people standing there, she opened the ledger and looked at it carefully. Get up, quickly calculate in your mind while reading, take a note from time to time and put a data in the gap on one side. About two minutes later, Tang Dai put down the pen and closed the account book.

"Master, you, have you finished reading?"

The three people standing there saw that Tang Dai didn't need to do any calculations, and they finished reading the three account books in a while, all of them stared wide-eyed in surprise, Tang Jiaxiao stammered and asked Tang Dai.

"You, come here!" Tang Dai pointed to Master Qian Liang, but did not reply to Tang Jiaxiao's question.

"Yes, County Lord." Master Qian Liang didn't know what Tang Dai had discovered, and walked forward tremblingly.

"Look through these two ledgers. Last year, the amount of rice recorded in this detailed ledger was 880 and nine dans. Why did it become 870 and nine tans in the general ledger that was reported here? There are still ten Where is Dan Guzi? Where did it go?"

"This... This should be a clerical error made by the lower official. I have misremembered the data. I will definitely find it out and make it up again."

"Wrong memory?! Oh. Let's make it up together." Tang Dai casually tossed the account book to Master Qian Liang, and let him find a way to make it up by himself, without saying anything else.

"You, come here." Tang Dai pointed to Xu Xiancheng again.

"Yes, magistrate." Xu Xiancheng looked at Master Qian Liang's account book and found a problem, and walked towards Tang Dai nervously.

"This account book contains the miscellaneous taxes collected from below. Look, how much money should this amount be? The total tax collected in the last month is 20 taels. But why is it next month? The balance from the previous month is zero, and if you exclude the 950 taels handed in, there should be a balance of 20 taels that will be transferred to the next month. Why is this? Like Master Qian Liang, you also made a clerical error?"

"County Lord, this is a momentary carelessness of the subordinate official. He didn't add the balance of last month's silver taels to next month. The subordinate official will go and change it, and go now." The county magistrate's palms have begun to sweat.

In his heart, he was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, at this time, the magistrate Wang never ordered them to move their hands or feet. Instead, he would monitor whether they would move the accounts. The order is too strict.

Later, County Magistrate Tang came. Although County Magistrate Tang was a little greedy, he asked them to move a little bit, but he was a serious official, and he was afraid that something would happen and the official would be picked up, so he didn't do much. Otherwise, they would have to be handed over here today. The county magistrate has it.

"Tang county magistrate, Xu county magistrate, Master Li." Tang Dai coldly called out the three people.

"I'm here." The three immediately knelt in front of Tang Dai, their heads were sweating and their bodies were trembling.

"There used to be a county magistrate in Chang'an County. How did he die and why did you all know about it?" Tang Dai tapped her finger on the table and asked the three of them in a cold voice.

"The lower official knows." The three replied at the same time.How could they not know? !It's not because the heart is too greedy.

"It's good to know! What happened to the three of you today, I will temporarily record it in my account, and I will not pursue it, but you must know what is due, make up for the previous account, and give me what is due. Yes. I don’t have any other advantages in this person, but I don’t even think about the slightest loophole in the accounts. Moreover, when I look at the account books, I can see ten lines at a glance. Well, it’s fast. This fast, for me, even if the account books of ten years are placed in front of me, I can read them accurately and clearly in three days. So, for me, the account books, you guys It's better not to take chances." Tang Dai glanced at the three people indifferently, and said slowly, although her tone was calm, but it hit the three people's hearts with a thousand catties of force.

"County Master Xie doesn't want to pursue it. Let's go check the account right away and make it clear. There will be no mistakes again." The three of them lay on the ground, thanking Tang Dai a thousand times, and kowtowed like garlic.

The reason why Tang Dai didn't pursue it was because she found that the accounts were still very clear and true. Occasionally there would be one or two sums, but the amount was not large, which showed that the three people's corruption was not serious.What's more, Tang Dai knew the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, so she only warned the three of them, and let them go this time to see the effect.She had just taken over Chang'an County, and she didn't want to cause a storm. She wanted Chang'an County to transition safely into her own hands.If she commits a crime again in the future, she will not be so polite.

"Well, the two of you go, move the account book away, and give you a week to change the account book. I will thoroughly investigate after a week. Magistrate Tang will keep it."

Xu Xiancheng, Master Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly called for help to remove all the account books piled up in front of Tang Dai.

"Magistrate Tang."

"The subordinate is here."

"I hope you can supervise them well and manage the affairs of Chang'an County for me. According to the seniority of Tangjia Village, I have to call you uncle. For the sake of the third grandma, I will not pursue this matter, but it does not mean that I'm always so talkative. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand, I understand that I must supervise them, correct all the books, make up all the deficiencies, make up for the food, and make up the money with the money."

"Well, it's good that you understand my painstaking efforts. How is Third Grandma doing in the mansion recently? Are your eyes better? How's your mood?" Tang Dai no longer talked about official business. Turn to private matters.

"Little girl, your third grandma is very good. She just came back from living with my sister and aunt Xiaomei for a while, and now she lives in my house. She heard me say that you came back from the capital, and she has been talking about you, saying that it has been a long time. Seeing you, I miss you very much." As expected of Tang Jiaxiao, who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, after listening to Tang Dai's topic, he turned to private matters, and he was busy and obedient. He stopped calling Tang Dai the county head, and changed her nickname. To show that he is an uncle, to show kindness.

"Oh, that's good. When I'm free, I'll visit her next time. I just came back and I have a lot of things to do. I don't have time to see her today. Uncle, please bring me a message to the third grandma. Let her take care of herself and don't miss me, I will visit her soon."

"Okay, uncle will definitely bring it." Tang Jiaxiao hurriedly agreed.

Just kidding, can he not? !He has no relatives or relationship with the county magistrate. He has a ready-made relationship now. He has to make a good offering to his wife when he goes back. As long as his mother is here, his relationship with the county magistrate will not be broken, maybe In the future, I will have to rely on the county head to rise up!
"Well, then I'm leaving. The matter of the county government, how it was before, how it is now, you do things well, don't worry that I don't need you, I will drive you away. As long as things are done well, I always give clear rewards and punishments .” Before leaving, Tang Dai gave Tang Jiaxiao another word of advice.

"The lower official understands, and I respectfully send off the county master."

Tang Jiaxiao sent Tang Dai to the county government office, watched her get into the car, then turned around and returned to the county government office, wiped the sweat on her head, and patted her chest. I really want to thank my old lady for her kindness and kindness to the county magistrate. Let the county master be grateful, otherwise today's affairs will be difficult.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiaxiao went to ask the county magistrate Xu and Mr. Li to make the bills and spit out everything that should be vomited out. Fortunately, the amount was not large, otherwise the three of them would be sent to jail by the magistrate today. He really didn't expect Tang Ergui's little girl to be so powerful!

After exhorting the two of them, he greeted them and said that he had something to do when he went back to the mansion.After finishing speaking, he hurried back home, called his wife into the room, and told her about today's events in detail, saying that the county magistrate made a special trip to ask his wife, and he must honor her in the future and confess her Only by getting up can he ensure that he, the county magistrate, can sit securely.

He told his wife to be good, and went to the third grandma again, and asked her warmly, absolutely sincerely.Tell the third grandma what Tang Dai asked him to pass on to the old lady in detail, and the third grandma grinned with joy, saying that the little girl is a good girl, and she is grateful. Well done.He also told Magistrate Tang to do the work of the county government well, not to cause trouble for the chick, and not to be arrogant just because of this relationship.For the first time, Tang Jiaxiao listened to his mother's words seriously, and assured her that he would do things seriously and be a good and honest official.

After Tang Dai came out of the county office, she went to Aunt Xiaomei's shop and asked about the situation of the third grandma. She was relieved when she heard that what Aunt Xiaomei said was similar to what Tang Jiaxiao said.After leaving Aunt Xiaomei's shop, he wanted to stop by to see the second sister, so he asked Xiaobai to drive the carriage to Baifu.

The gatekeeper of the Bai mansion heard that the county lord was coming, so he hurried to report to the mansion. Master Bai, Mrs. Chen, and Bai Ci all hurried out of the mansion after hearing the servant's report, and went to the gate of the mansion. meet.Tang Dai got out of the carriage and saw that the three of them were about to kneel down to her as a courtier, so she hurriedly bullied the three of them to not kneel down, saying that she was on the way to see the second sister, so that they could not see each other.

Surrounded by everyone, Tang Dai entered the Baifu, went to Tang Hua's courtyard, walked in Baici behind Tang Dai, and looked at the county magistrate's dress Tang Dai was wearing. Hanging on the body, it feels indecent and inappropriate!

Beijing.

In the study room of the imperial palace, Feng Qianjun looked at the Taoist in front of him lightly with a pair of phoenix eyes. His beard and hair were all white, and his face was hale and spirited, giving him the appearance of a fairy.

"Father, this is the Taoist master Yiyun with profound metaphysics that I told you about." The second prince Feng Rongye saw that his father was silent, and hurriedly opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere in the study.

"Well, I don't know how Daoist Yiyun will prove to me that you know the unique art of shielding armor and profound metaphysics? I don't raise useless people here, let alone a high-ranking national teacher." Feng Qianjun's expression and words were full. dull.

Ye'er said that both Fengbei Kingdom and Dahua Kingdom have people capable of metaphysics as national teachers, but he does not necessarily need such talents in Fengnan Kingdom. The country has been established for decades without a national teacher, and Fengnan Kingdom is still prosperous and prosperous as usual.That Fengbei Kingdom, Dahua Kingdom has a national teacher, but it is not and cannot avoid occasional floods, droughts, and snow disasters!The national teacher can only prophesy, but he can't call the wind and rain.

"Reporting to the emperor of Fengnan Kingdom, Pindao will not boast to the emperor. It is understandable for the emperor to ask Pindao to prove that Pindao is advanced in metaphysics. But Pindao just listened to the request of the second prince, and the current kings of the Three Kingdoms , Your Majesty is the most wise emperor, and Pindao has the thought to contribute to my lifelong learning. The Emperor may not believe me now, but within a month, Pindao will be able to see my talent if he believes the Emperor." Then Daoist Yiyun had already seen that Feng Qianjun had a dispensable attitude towards his arrival, his competitive heart was aroused, he changed his usual arrogance, and explained to Feng Qianjun.

"Oh? How did you get me to believe you within a month?" Feng Qianjun couldn't help feeling a little curious when he saw that Yiyun was speaking so confidently.

"Within one month, on the day of the full moon, there will be visions appearing in the sky! Your Majesty, at that time, you will be able to believe that I will not speak false words." The old Taoist Yiyun looked straight at Feng Qian without hiding his eyes. Jun, full of confidence.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you for a month. But what does this vision indicate?" Feng Qianjun was worried after thinking about it, and asked.

"At that time, Pindao will report to the emperor." Yiyun replied with a light smile.

Feng Qianjun asked this sentence, which means that he never believed in him, and when he believed in him, he will let him know his talent and reuse him. He will be the national teacher of Fengnan Kingdom, use this position, When he found what he was looking for, he had already seized it, and the things and people were in Fengnan Kingdom.

"Ye'er, go and arrange the daily life of the Daoist Priest, and I'll just wait to see what this so-called vision is!" Feng Qianjun let go, meaning that Yiyun should stay.

"Yes, Royal Father, I will make arrangements now." Feng Rongye listened to Feng Qianjun's order, and walked out of the imperial study with Yiyun Laodao, and walked towards his own palace, his face was full of complacency. The smile on his face shows that the mother and concubine understand the father. Today, the father did not drive Daoist Yiyun out of the palace. His plan has been half successful, and it shows that the father has moved his mind.

Then it will be up to the Taoist priest. As long as the Taoist priest convinces his father step by step, he will have a lot of help in the court if he takes the position of the national teacher. Conquer and use it well, and he will have more help outside.

That position doesn't seem so far away from him anymore!
　Fairies, today's second watch will be updated around nine o'clock in the evening.
