In this regard, Guo An did not think that these officials were bullying him for being young and collectively stumbling upon him.
The bloody smell of thousands of human heads has not dissipated yet. He does not believe that these surviving officials dare to act like monsters in the wind!
"I have just taken office, please wait for them to come one by one!"
Guo An smiled slightly, pointed to the housekeeper who came in first and said, "The housekeeper is the first to come. Let me introduce the land, household registration, taxation, and financial situation of Wanping County in detail. The remaining five houses.
Let’s go back and deal with our respective government affairs first, and come back when the house is finished!”
"I will obey the order of the county magistrate!"
The clerks in the third class and six rooms quickly obeyed the order.
Immediately, only Ning Deyou and Guo An, the clerk of the household, were left in the public house!
Guo An opened the book directly and asked while reading: "It's embarrassing to say that I have been here in Wanping County for a year, but I still know nothing about Wanping County's government affairs.
Sorry for bothering Ning Hufang!"
"The county magistrate is so polite!" Ning Deyou said with a sneer on his face.
The six-room scribes in a county are all directly appointed by the county magistrate, and there are no unranked scribes. They are generally called scribes or scribes.
The fate of these six-room scribes is directly connected with the magistrate of a county.
In turn, the county magistrate also needs to rely on these six clerks to do his work.
The six clerks appointed by the previous county magistrate were all implicated in having their homes confiscated and beheaded.
Ningde You and the rest of the five-room clerks were all selected by the Chief Envoy of Beiping Prefecture to take charge of Wanping County affairs. They were still temporary workers. As long as Guo An, the newly appointed magistrate of Wanping County, had a little ability
If you are dissatisfied at all, you can propose to the Chief Envoy of Beiping Prefecture to replace the clerk!
Therefore, Ning De Youzi did not dare to delay at all regarding Guo An's request. He bowed respectfully to Guo An and quickly introduced him.
"Reporting to the county magistrate, there are currently more than 16,500 households and 75,000 people in our Wanping County. However, our Wanping County only has more than 800 hectares of farmland..."
"etc!"
Guo An frowned and stared directly at Ning Deyou, "According to what you said, there are more than 16,500 households in Wanping County, and each household has five acres of land, or even five acres of land?"
Hearing this, Ning Deyou was shocked, "The county magistrate is wise!"
If the fields under Wanping County were divided evenly, each family would indeed have less than five acres of land.
However, these numbers were calculated by household officials who were proficient in arithmetic and took a whole day to calculate. How could the county magistrate know the general idea just by hearing what he said?
Although he didn't understand, Ning Deyou still put away his contempt and started to respect Guo An unconsciously!
Guo An didn't notice any of this, but the more he listened to Ning Deyou's report, the more his heart sank.
Wanping County is such a mess!
Such a large Zhili County has only more than 16,500 households and 75,000 people under its jurisdiction!
There are only so many people and only a few acres of land, so he can accept it!
However, the summer tax that needs to be paid makes Guo An feel cold!
"Ninghufang is just a summer tax, but we, Wanping County, have to pay so much food and materials?"
"Hui County Lord, that's true!" Ning De replied.
According to regulations, more than 800 hectares of fields require a summer tax of more than 3,600 kilos of grain, although rice, wheat, silk, linen, cotton, silk, and linen cotton can all be used together.
However, the people in Beiping Prefecture are really poor!
The grain produced from more than 800 hectares of land is not enough to feed the people of Wanping County, and taxes must be paid. Moreover, once taxes are paid, various losses will occur.
Therefore, if we pay according to the tax set by Lao Zhu, we will definitely not only prepare 3,600 shi of grain, but also dozens of shi, or even hundreds of shi of grain to cover various losses on the road!
The key is that the common people not only have to pay summer taxes, but also have autumn grain after the summer taxes. They also have to perform equal service and work as gangs according to the situation in the ding every year!
Once you start working, it is still a voluntary labor that lasts for several months and you bring your own dry food.
In this way, there may be many men who will delay the farm work at home!
trouble!
Guo An, who had just been promoted to Wanping County Magistrate on his first day, felt a headache!
“Are you ready for this year’s summer taxes?”
"I would like to inform you, Lord County, that the land tax that needs to be paid can barely be prepared, but after the payment is completed, the food tanks in the people's homes will be bottomed out!"
Ning Deyou quickly replied.
However, Ning De didn't have much worry in his eyes.
Although they, the household servants, do not have any rank, and their family is not a powerful family. But they are officials after all! In terms of paying land tax, it is not their turn to pay.
As for not collecting enough land tax, you will be punished by the superior officials and the court!
But how could it be possible to collect not enough?
"call……"
Guo An let out a long sigh of helplessness. He was just a social loser who wanted to work nine to five and live a miserable life every day. How could such a big burden be placed on him?
"Okay, I already know about this matter, you can handle it in the same way as before!"
"Yes, County Lord!"
Ning De felt relieved and responded quickly.
"As a county magistrate, I don't have an idea! It seems that this little county magistrate is also a mediocre person, and he is not worthy of their caution. Anyway, under the county magistrate with this temper, their future life will be
It will be easier."
After Ning De went out, the clerk in the office came in with a book in his arms.
"Reporting to the county magistrate, Feng Fuchun, the clerk in the office of the villain..."
"..."
Then, in turn, the clerk of the military room, the clerk of the execution room, the clerk of the ceremony room, the clerk of the work room, and the heads of the three squads of police officers came to visit Guo An one by one, reporting things and showing their loyalty.
From beginning to end, Guo An also had the same attitude.
Finally, after sending these subordinates away with a gentle look, Guo An slumped down on the chair with a helpless expression.
For him to be the magistrate of Wanping County, it was definitely Zhu Laosi who was deliberately trying to harm him!
Although all of the three six-room officials who had just come to report to him about Wanping County's government affairs all seemed to be very honest and respectful to him, the county magistrate.
However, absolutely none of the records in that book are true!
It's a pity that his original body only served as the boss for a year, and he still landed in the air!
I don’t have any connections, and I don’t have any trusted confidants at the moment. Let alone any masters and secret friends who are proficient in punishment, money and food!
Although those subordinate officials have a humble status and will rely on him as the county magistrate for some matters, if the situation becomes urgent, these subordinate officials will directly hug each other, and it will definitely be him who suffers in the end!
He is just a small county magistrate who has just taken office. He is not so desperate or...
Sitting on the official chair, after sorting out my thoughts for a while, it was time to leave the office.
Guo An didn't stop for a moment, and walked back directly with Guo Erniu.
…
Yanwang Palace!
As soon as Guo An returned home, Zhu Di had already received all the information about Guo An's day at the county government office.
"Then Guo An only summoned everyone one by one to inquire about the situation of Class 3 and Room 6, and did nothing else? Didn't say anything?"
Zhu Di found it difficult to understand Guo An's actions, and even looked angry as if he hated iron.
"Is it possible that I have misjudged this person? Is this person really just a nerd or a coward? Even if I make him the magistrate of Wanping County, he is still so mediocre and incompetent?"
