After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

The palace two days later.

Recently, the people serving in the Qinzheng Palace are very cautious, fearing that they will be punished if they are not careful. The news that Duke Li Guo left the capital just after returning to the palace could not be concealed, although no one knew the reason why Duke Li Guo left the capital.

But the Duke entered the palace as soon as he returned to Beijing and left the capital the next day. Soon the news spread that Duke Li Guo was heading to Jinzhou. Since it was no longer a secret, the ministers involved in Jinzhou could not sit still.

In recent days, there have been a lot of stories about Li Guogong. Why did the Duke of the country abandon his majesty before he came to the court? What about abandoning His Majesty when the dynasty was just established? Also, it is against the etiquette and laws of our court to observe filial piety for my wife for three years.

It started with just a few people, but in the end Li Hansheng really offended too many people over the years. Every day, the emperor received baskets of zhezi written by Li Hansheng, each with more intense words than the last.

The final conclusion is that this son is unfaithful and unfilial, harbors heresy, and deserves death.

The emperor has been in a bad mood in recent days. He is not angry with these ginseng Li Hansheng. He was angry that the news was not kept secret. These people only dared to make a few exaggerations and write some vitriolic words in the capital.

But once they leave the capital, these people look well-dressed, but their tactics are dark. While the emperor sent people to keep an eye on the Liu family, he also sent a group of secret guards out of the capital to protect Li Hansheng.

Li Hansheng originally conducted the investigation in secret, and did not even send a letter to the capital in order to keep it secret. In the past few days, the emperor had not received any news, and his mood became even worse.

At this time, I received a letter from Sichuanzhou in the northwest. Eunuch Li, who was waiting in front of the palace, had been with the emperor for many years. He glanced at the bamboo tube and saw that he was from the northwest. My heart couldn't help but tremble, and I prayed silently that nothing would happen.

The emperor opened the bamboo tube and read the spy's letter. After a while, he actually laughed. He felt that the magistrate of Qu County was a wonderful person! He was able to get money from Li Quanyong.

The emperor had long known what Li Quanyong had done. In fact, not only Sichuan but also many other states had similar problems. However, the emperor turned a blind eye. The reason is also very simple.

First of all, these people don't dare to go too far. There are spies from all states watching, and they all know that the emperor personally killed the world, and the smell of blood in the capital has not yet dissipated.

Secondly, the imperial court really needs more food, so every year when the food tax is collected, soldiers transport it. Therefore, they only dare to covet the spring plowing subsidy for the second year. The emperor also did not want to increase taxes so that the people would feel that taxes were as heavy as in the previous dynasty.

Third, these are pigs that will be killed in the future, so raise them first. After oppressing the people so hard, the emperor issued an order to inspect and confiscate their homes. The money was not lost, and the people's support was improved.

He actually has little hope for the Asia Scholars officials elected this year, especially those students from poor families. This year they have less time to actually study, and their knowledge and talents cannot be counted on.

The emperor originally asked them to help occupy some positions, and he could not let aristocratic families fill up the positions of grassroots officials. Unexpectedly, there were a few good ones.

The news that came from Ningzhou a few days ago is that there is a county magistrate named Chen Shaoang, which is not bad. Both are officials from the northwest, which is good. This Xiao Qingshan's name is somewhat familiar.

Qu County, Chuanzhou.

The main hall of the county government office was full of people. Today was the day Xiao Qingshan had agreed with the village chiefs. Mainly the villages near the county seat. The more remote villages may not even know that the county magistrate has come.

These few days are enough for Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan to perfect the plan. There are 6 towns in the county, with a total of about 100 villages. The specific figures have not yet been calculated.

Larger villages have dozens of households and a population of about 300. In a small village, there may be only a dozen households, with a population of no more than 5-60 people.

Taking into account the estimated population of the county, 150 taels of silver is quite good, one copper per person. When distributing money, you can also do a county census.

If someone else were to serve as the county magistrate and seek the opinions of the village heads of each village on whether to use the money for other things or to use the money elsewhere to achieve better development in the county in the future, it is estimated that all the village heads would choose to settle down.

However, Magistrate Xiao's approach in coming to Qu County won the favor of the nearby villages, especially the trust of the village chief. They all want to hear Mr. Xiao’s thoughts first.

In fact, Xie Boyuan did not understand the matter of soliciting the village chief's opinion at first. He felt that the county magistrate was the largest official in the county. Just give the order what you want to do.

But Xiao Qingshan knew that he had no close confidants and no one in Qu County. If he wants to manage Qu County well, he needs to gain the trust of these village chiefs first and let them see the benefits.

I have seen too many villages under the leadership of the village chief obeying and disobeying the county's orders. A strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes, not to mention he is not a strong dragon. This was the method he came up with when playing chess with Xie Boyuan.

The whole meeting lasted for almost three hours, and no one felt tired, but very excited. Especially the village chiefs, they don't know whether Mr. Xiao's plan can be realized, but their villages are the first experimental villages, and no matter what, they will be the ones who benefit.

After the meeting, the village chiefs hurried back to select people and sites. I was afraid that if I were too late, other villages would take advantage of me.

On the second day, Xiao Qingshan's family and Xie Boyuan officially moved into the county government office. Xiao Qingshan's county magistrate also began to officially take office. Three announcements were made that day that shocked everyone.

The Quxian county government will recruit 20 government officials, 4 of whom are county residents, and each city can elect them. The remaining 16 people were selected from various villages, one person from each village. Those who are in good health and literate will be given priority for admission. Seven days later, the county government will conduct an open selection, and the people can watch.

The county government in Qu County wants to recruit five scribes, including one accountant and four ordinary scribes. Priority will be given to scholars who have merit and reputation. Those who perform well in addition to monthly silver can copy a book from the county magistrate's collection.

Quxian County Government will recruit 100 workers to build warehouses and ice cellars. Relevant technical personnel will be given priority for admission. Those who are interested can submit their application to each village first, or they can register at the county government on their own.

The county government provides payment for the above three positions. Survival of the fittest, registration is accepted from now on.

The announcement was posted at the door of the government office, and the fourteenth person was responsible for beating the gong and reading it loudly at the door of the government office. He answered all the questions patiently, and the whole county was in a state of excitement.

Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan discussed and planned to make a separate account book for the spring plowing subsidy and make it public. In this way, we can gain the trust of the people in the county as quickly as possible and mobilize all the manpower and material resources of the county to the greatest extent.

County government work is in full swing. In the backyard, Mrs. Dong, as the matron, is in charge of the family's finances. Ms. Dong is considering the tax-free quota of 100 acres of land in her husband's name.

Although it is already mid-May, it is already a bit late to plant food. But as long as you take good care of it, you will still gain something. It is enough for the family to eat.

Mingjun and Mingjia were also discussing something.
