Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

"Oh, what's the use of this?" Su Mulan was only interested in real money. This account book really gave her no idea, so she said casually.

"It's useful, it's very useful! Mulan, come and see. This Guo Xuan sold his official position for more than a thousand yuan last year alone, and received a total of 157,300 taels of gold in bribes! What a traitor!" Xie Chengan said, the more he looked at it, the angrier he became. .

"Ah, so many?" Su Mulan was also shocked.

"Moreover, it's only August this year. Although I haven't done any accounting yet, I took a rough look and found that there are nearly one hundred thousand taels of gold! There are also old accounts from previous years, involving one million taels of gold!" Xie Chengan said with trembling hands.

"This..." Although Su Mulan didn't understand why Guo Xuan dared to be greedy so much, she was greatly shocked.

"Sure enough, Mr. Xie is also on the account book, but he spent one thousand five hundred taels of gold to buy the official position of governor of Qinghan Mansion!" Xie Chengan exclaimed, his whole body trembling.

Su Mulan was not surprised. Although she had never met Xie Zhizhou, she knew that he had reached this position only because of the Jiang family's money. Naturally, he did not rely on any real ability.

It turns out that he followed Guo Xuan's path and spent gold to buy the official position.

"Can this account book bring down Guo Xuan?" Su Mulan was somewhat interested in this.

"I'm afraid the normal way won't work, but if it happens by chance, this is the ironclad proof that he will never be able to turn over again!" Xie Chengan gritted his teeth.

"Well, then this is the straw that breaks the camel's back." Su Mulan nodded and said something that Xie Chengan had never heard before.

"Camel? Straw? Oh, I understand. That's exactly it." Xie Chengan was stunned when he heard this statement for the first time, and then he understood the meaning.

"Since there is nothing we can do about Guo Xuan for the time being, not even Qu Yuan. But we can cut off his wings first. For example, these belongings." Su Mulan raised the house and land deeds in her hand.

"How do you say it?" Xie Chengxin felt something, but still asked.

"These houses are nothing more than that. But there are 400,000 acres of farmland here. I must have used a lot of shady means to get it, and use it for the people." Su Mulan pondered for a long time.

"Mulan, do you mean to divide these lands?" Xie Chengan asked in surprise.

"No, sell these lands and exchange them for money and food. I told you that there will be natural disasters in the next two years, and if not handled properly, there will be man-made disasters. Food is the magic weapon to stabilize people's hearts." Su Mulan said calmly.

"That's true. It's just that the county government has no money, so this matter has never been completed." Xie Chengan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when she heard her mention the matter of collecting grain.

"Even if the county government has money, it also collects grain. However, if there is a disaster, I'm afraid you won't have the power to open a warehouse to release grain." Su Mulan shook her head and smiled.

"What do you mean?" Xie Chengan's eyes lit up and he understood what she was thinking.

"I will collect the grain, and when it is needed, I will donate it free of charge. However, for things like trading fields, I still need your county government to cooperate with me." Su Mulan said with a crooked smile.

"You have the means to deposit and withdraw materials out of thin air. It is indeed more suitable for you to operate it. I love Mulan, you have gained benefits and gained fame!" Xie Chengan also smiled.

"What, the county magistrate doesn't allow it? You can take this account book, take one hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and leave the rest to me." Su Mulan pointed to the dozens of bundles of banknotes on the ground.

"What do I need so many banknotes for?" Xie Chengan asked in confusion.

"Money can make the world go round. You are a wandering official. If you want to really conquer those county officials and servants, how can you do it without some real money? You need to use kindness and power at the same time." Su Mulan explained.

"Hey, other people can make money by being an official, but I use the money in it. Don't you love money very much? Why are you willing to..." Xie Chengan said a little shyly.

"A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. These are purely ill-gotten gains, so naturally they must be taken from the people and used for the people. If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." Su Mulan looked at Xie Chengan teased.

"I want to benefit the country, not wealth." Xie Chengan felt that he was in the same mood as her, so he smiled.

"Exactly, exactly. But Zhao Jingzi hasn't been found yet?" Su Mulan suddenly remembered something.

"Lin Xu said that he already has some clues, but he hasn't found them yet. However, I don't know if he will cooperate. I'm more worried that innocent people will be implicated in this." Xie Chengan said hesitantly.

"Then you can send people to investigate one by one, and then take action after obtaining evidence. This Anlan County is managed in a monolithic manner, and conventional methods are really difficult to work." Su Mulan said calmly.

"Mulan, if you were a man, I'm afraid you would be a decisive and killing general." Xie Chengan also understood that she was right and couldn't help but sigh.

"The elimination of Zhao Jingzi's thousand households must be Guo Xuan's method. Therefore, you have common enemies and interests. He will not disagree with cooperation." Su Mulan said confidently.

"But it's easier to invite gods than to send them away..." Xie Chengan said still a little uneasy.

"So, the hundreds of government officials in the county government and the people in the inspection department are your capital. The one hundred thousand taels of silver can be used to persuade these people to work for you." Su Mulan spoke more clearly.

"This is their duty." Although Xie Chengan understood what she meant, he still said unwillingly.

This is not because Xie Chengan is reluctant to part with money, but because he feels that it is contrary to the books he has read.

"A gentleman is a friend of those who share the same ideals, and a villain is a friend of those who share the same interests. Yamen servants are just making a living, who would be willing to work hard if there is no big profit?" Su Mulan said helplessly.

"I understand what you're saying, but this is your money." Xie Chengan was taught a few words by her, and then he spoke his true feelings.

"These are all obtained from Qu Yuan. I am borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Don't worry. Besides, the purpose of using this money is for the people here." Su Mulan looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, it's my duty to ask for orders for the people. Mulan, I'll take the money." Xie Chengan pondered for a long time, but said firmly.

"That's right, I don't know much about the county government, but having money will make it easier to smooth things over. Don't be too rigid in your ethics. The way of officialdom is not the way of sages." Su Mulan was worried and warned again.

"Mulan, although I know you have superpowers, things like Qujiazhuang cannot be separated. I don't want you to take more risks. I regretted it when the convoy left last night." Xie Chengan said seriously.

"No wonder you have so many dark circles under your eyes. It seems you didn't sleep well last night." Although Su Mulan stayed up late, she still caught up on her sleep. She saw that Xie Chengan was a little haggard, and she felt a little distressed knowing that he had been worried about him.

"If the fewer people know about this, the better, I really want Lin Xu to bring some confidants to support you. You must never do such a thing again, understand?" Xie Chengan gently touched her shoulder.

"Okay, okay, I promise you. You are so verbose, you don't look like a county magistrate!" Su Mulan smiled, feeling warm in her heart, and it felt good to have someone caring about her.
