"Hey, everyone says... it's a mule or a horse, just take it out for a walk! Don't look at the new county magistrate as a good person, but his business ability is really not that good." A tall and thin man said, shaking his head.

"Don't talk nonsense! You don't want the job anymore? Our master is hiding his strength! This fat guy is still in our yamen, we have to use him when the time comes!" another short and fat man immediately retorted.

"Let alone other things, our predecessor's business ability is beyond reproach! Just in this respect, I admire him alone!" The tall and thin man insisted on his opinion.

"That's because the new master hasn't opened your eyes yet! If our new master takes action, it won't be just these ordinary small cases. Haven't you heard that the recent cases were all the result of our new master's behind-the-scenes planning!" said the short and fat man unconvinced.

"Tsk, do you believe what they say outside? You have to see everything with your own eyes to see the truth!" The tall and thin man snorted disdainfully.

"You know shit. You have to look at things carefully to see the real thing!" The short and fat man glared at him.

"Look carefully? How do you look carefully? You keep your heart in your stomach... why do you have to take it out to look carefully and then put it back, hahahaha."

"I think you're looking for a fight!"

"Yes, there's no point in wasting time talking to a man like him who is so stubborn! Cut him!"

The brothers who were originally harmonious are now divided into two camps because of the new and old masters.

Some people supported the new county magistrate, believing that although he looked insignificant on the surface, he actually had extraordinary qualities;

Others, however, missed the business ability of the previous county magistrate and were skeptical of the new one.

On one side is the camp of crazy fans who follow the new county magistrate's lead, and on the other side is the camp of the former master's followers who recognize the former county magistrate's wisdom, strategy, and hard work.

In just a few days, people from the two camps had clashed more than once, often arguing until they were red in the face, and even fighting!

The former county magistrate often went out and had never encountered such a scene, so he was not aware of it.

But the new county magistrate, who stayed in the yamen every day, felt a little embarrassed.

He called everyone to the lobby and said, "I shouldn't have called you all to this place during the New Year. But...you have become more and more confused recently, so I have to intervene!"

The people below naturally knew why the master had called them here, so they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"I only have one thing to say. I am now the boss of this government office. I will treat those who are willing to follow me well in the future. Of course, I also know a truth: a forced melon is not sweet. The gate of the government office is right there. Anyone who is willing to follow others will not be kept in my government office."

After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left.

This statement is quite obvious. Some people look down on him. Such people do not need to stay in the government office in the future.

To put it bluntly, just follow whoever you think is good.

This is obviously forcing them to take sides.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head. Now that they are receiving salaries from the government, how can they give up this job just because of someone's recognition?

Even if they are willing to leave, their families will definitely not agree.

So the beating really worked.

Besides, the former county magistrate was now doing very well in the post station.

Not only did the people at the post stations in Tang County follow his lead, but even the ferrymen shuttling between the major post stations knew his name.

Those who occasionally meet him also want to establish a good relationship with this big customer.

As a result, rumors spread that there was a master in the government office in Tang County who was gentle, kind, and a good businessman.

Some even said that he was well-connected and wealthy, and that he only held a sinecure in the officialdom to pass the time.

Besides, those officials in Puguang County have all bought the Eight Treasures Gift Box from him. Recently, they have heard more and more news about him, and they think that this gentleman is extraordinary. They even feel that there is a very powerful force behind him!

They are even scrambling to have a good relationship with him!

It can be said that in just two months, this unknown person who had been in the officialdom for many years suddenly revealed his true identity. The more mysterious he is, the more unfathomable he is. Not only should one not offend him, but one must also take the initiative to make friends with him!

Now that the Chinese New Year has passed, the sales of the Eight Treasures Box have reached a new peak!

The former Tang County leader was unaware of this and thought that Pingdingshan really had some tricks up their sleeves. He also hadn't imagined that the jewelry was so attractive that it allowed him to sell millions of pieces just through promotions!

This gentleman was so busy that he had no time to care about the people in the yamen, how they spoke about him, or how the current county magistrate tried to snatch people away.

Besides, many of those who planned to abandon their children at the gate of Pingdingshan had already been arrested and taken to the government office!

Those who were to be beaten with a stick were beaten with a stick, those who were to be sent to prison were sent to prison, and many paid silver in order to suffer less.

It not only enriched the Tang County government, but also gave the new county magistrate a good reputation!

Pingdingshan is really cruel. Gradually, no one dares to throw children at the mountain gate anymore.

Si Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth and pulled Mu Wenyin's ear: "Look at what you have done! If you didn't take the lead, would there be so many people following you?"

"Let go! It hurts, it hurts! What did I do?" He rubbed his painful ear, looking unwilling.

"You, throw Ling'er at the gate. Now that they saw that I successfully brought you in, they all followed suit and threw their children at the gate. Look, here's the list! There are more than seventy of them!"

Mu Wenyin took a stack of papers from Si Xiaoxiao, scanned it from the first page, and then flipped through a few pages at random: "This is not difficult, just take them all. Free labor, it's a waste if you don't use it! Anyway, they came here on their own initiative to be tortured, you didn't hire them. When they do a lot of work but don't get paid, they will naturally leave."

Si Xiaoxiao:......

hiss!

It seems to make some sense.

Why didn't she think of that!

But if she had the chance to do it all over again, she would still choose the current method to deal with those people.

It's better to let the government handle it than for them to take the initiative and offend others.

Furthermore, with this experience, people outside can at least realize that they, Pingdingshan, are not easy to mess with.

If we disagree, I will send you away and ask you whether you obey or not.
