Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 201 Resignation and Bad Debt

Officialdom is not a battlefield, and not everything can be solved with a long gun. Meow, no wonder the Xun family thought they couldn't solve it, so they sent Xun Biao over.

It's just that Li Ming was a little skeptical. After all, he had never heard of Xun Biao, and he seemed to be inconspicuous in the history of the Three Kingdoms!
In the next three days, Xun Biao taught Li Ming several coping methods, telling him how to deal with Yun Yun whenever officials used these tricks.Li Ming's memory is actually pretty good, and he will know if he doesn't know how to recite it a few times.

Finally, after a bumpy journey, the group finally came to Kuaiji County.If there is any change, it is that Huang Xu's spirit is getting better and better all the way here, and he can start to walk around for a while yesterday, which made Huang Zhong and his wife burst into tears with joy.

"Shi Guyan, Chief of Kuaiji County, I have seen the prefect!" When he arrived at Shanyin, he might have heard the news a long time ago, and a group of officials came to welcome him one after another. Gu Yan.

"Lieutenant Wei Xin of Kuaiji County, I have seen the prefect!" Then a man dressed as a military officer stepped forward, but it was Wei Xin, the county captain mainly in charge of military affairs.

The counties of the Han Dynasty have prefects, but Kuaiji is already considered a border county, and only a long history is needed.And because of Shanyue's frequent rebellions, there was a post of county lieutenant.These two positions are appointed by the central government, and Li Ming has no way to decide.The subordinate county officials have a team of more than 20 people, and these can be appointed by Li Minglai.

Originally, there was a team in Kuaiji County, and everyone was here, and they visited Li Ming one after another.For this group of people, they can be retained or replaced by another group. The specific decision is up to Li Ming, the prefect.

In addition to the officials of the county government, there is also a team of Shanyin county magistrates. Of course, this is not something that Li Ming can appoint.It is said that three lives are unlucky, the county magistrate attached to Guo, and served as the county magistrate under the county government, but this 40-year-old man has a big heart and a fat body. It seems that the young life is quite nourishing? !

"From now on, we will be colleagues. In terms of government and military affairs, as well as in Shanyin County, please take care of me!" Li Ming cupped his hands, "Li is new here, and I still have a lot to learn from you!"

"We are all under your lord's command, and it is also our duty to help you manage Kuaiji County!" Gu Yan handed his hand, and the surrounding officials also responded one after another, but Li Ming was keenly aware that in the eyes of Gu Yan and Wei Xin, he saw Kind of contemptuous.

Xun Biao touched Li Ming lightly, and the latter nodded, knowing that it was not good to entangle here, so he signaled everyone to take their places.Immediately, he led everyone into the government office.

"Although there are many lands in Jiangnan, most of them are in the hands of wealthy families. The Xun family bought a manor outside the city at a premium of 50%, and bought two properties in Shanyin County. One of them is the sheriff of Riyao The other one is for three or four families to live in. The guards can leave [-] people, and the rest can be transferred to the manor outside the city to rest." Entering the county town, Xun Biao, under the guidance of Xun's servants, put Li Ming brought it to the Sheriff's Mansion.

This is a big house, and it is in the most prosperous part of the county. The price is definitely not cheap, let alone a [-]% premium!The other place is relatively remote, and it is not too far away from here, so people can be sent to support at any time.

According to Xun Biao's wishes, Zhang Mo, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Dian Jie, and Xu Huang stayed, while the rest were led by their servants to stay in a manor in the suburbs.

"As for maidservants, we need to buy a few more. There are many people fleeing southward, and there are also many people selling their sons and daughters." Xun Biao suggested.

"Where does eldest brother live?" Seeing that Xun Biao was about to leave after speaking, Li Ming couldn't help being a little curious.

"Someone is here in Shanyin, so naturally he also has a house!" Xun Biao smiled, turned and left gracefully.

"Damn rich man!" Li Ming looked at Xun Biao's leaving back and complained silently in his heart.At the same time, I have to admire the influence of the Xun family, who can directly buy three houses and a manor in Shanyin County in such a short period of time.

The environment of the house is not bad. Compared with Shanyin, the scale is even smaller than Luoyang Li's Mansion. Fortunately, there is a huge study room, which seems to have been urgently remodeled.The Xun family knew very well that the most precious thing about Li Ming was not his physical strength, but the loads of books behind him!
"On this scale, Xiaotao and Xiaocui are enough!" Xun Cai looked around, and finally said slowly.With this amount of space, more than 20 people are enough for daily maintenance. If it weren't for protecting those books, 50 people would have seemed a bit crowded.

"When I came in, I saw Wei Xin and Gu Yan entering two mansions, at least twice the size of ours!" Xi Zhicai walked in slowly, and said playfully, "I'm afraid their origins are different. Simple!"

"I've heard about Jia in Jiangnan!" Jia Xu is very clear about what it means to be both prosperous and humiliated. "The four big families are Gu, Lu, Zhang, and Zhu. General You Cheqi was born in Kuaiji and his surname is Zhu. But it's just from a humble family. If you guess correctly, Gu Yan comes from the surname Gu, and Wei Xin... I'm afraid he is also one of the wealthy families in Kuaiji County!
The key point is still the original county officials. Although they are adults, their eyes are more on the two of them.Wen He wouldn't believe it if he said it had nothing to do with it!Even Zhang Dui, the magistrate of Shanyin County, was afraid that his background was not simple! "

The next day they went to the Yamen, accompanied by Xun Biao, Zhang Mo, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu.Listening to the officials below report on the situation in Kuaiji County, the result is not optimistic.According to Gu Yan, there have been many rebellions in various places this year, and there have been several times when the mountains have gone downhill in Kuaiji County, and a large number of refugees have flowed into the south of the Yangtze River, and many of them have come to Kuaiji County.

In order to quell the rebellion and appease the refugees, the treasury has been completely empty, and it owes several wealthy merchants five thousand guan.They have an IOU issued by the previous sheriff with the official seal on it, so it is considered a legal loan.

In addition, there is the problem of mountains and mountains. Kuaiji County extends to the south, and the area of ​​a county is equivalent to that of Yanzhou.It is also because of the vast territory that the mountain is the most noisy, and it goes down the mountain from time to time, which has led to a significant reduction in local production this year.

Judging from the situation reported in the county newspapers, I am afraid that this year may not be able to collect taxes, and as for next year... it is hard to say!To put it simply, the mountain is getting more and more uneven, so don’t expect any tax revenue in the past three years, but the salary and the maintenance of the army also need money and food. Gu Yan said that if Li Ming needs it, he can come forward on his behalf and borrow [-] guan from a wealthy businessman to support it for a period of time. time……

The implication: Do you want to take the three thousand pens and run away?
Li Ming only spent [-] guan to buy an official, so it is considered a [-] guan for nothing. You can see that after traveling, he earned [-] guan, which is a good deal!As for this bad debt, leave it to the next eunuch to settle it!

Li Ming smiled and said: "I know that Kuaiji County is difficult... Fortunately, it is not too outrageous! In the next three years, you and I will do our best to make up for the shortfall!"

"The eunuch has a far-reaching ambition, and his subordinates admire him!" Gu Yan smiled and bowed his hands in admiration, but secretly said in his heart: Let's see how you plan to clean up this mess!So what if you have far-reaching ambitions, can you still fill your stomach? !

Seeing all the officials leave, Li Ming also felt a headache, so he thought about Xun Biao and said, "Sure enough, it's not what you expected!"
