As soon as Zhao Jin revealed his identity, he took the lead in setting fire to the court.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.
At this time, everyone has not yet figured out what Zhao Jin's character is, and they dare not act rashly for a while.
It's just that everyone knows Zhao Jin's identity as the abandoned son of King Liang, so everyone doesn't take Zhao Jin very seriously.
Especially Zhao Jin directly set fire to the Chen family.
Many people laughed at Zhao Jin for being so bold, and were not afraid of being punished by the Chen family and making a fool of himself, even if he was not guaranteed an official position.
A few people who were bright-hearted knew that Zhao Jin had been lurking in Yunzhou for half a month before revealing his identity. They realized that Zhao Jin was not easy to deal with and changed their strategy.
After Zhao Jin revealed his identity, he moved directly into the government office, followed by Yang Xu and others.
But Zhao Jin did not let Chu Weiqing and Old Man Chu live together. Now that he has not taken control of Yunzhou, the government office is too dangerous and he cannot expose Chu Weiqing.
At this time, Zhao Jin was looking through Yunzhou's account books.
He asked the county magistrate for these.
The county magistrate had little power in Yunzhou, and was suppressed by the local gentry and county lieutenants in every possible way. With his cleverness and skill, he stepped on the bottom line of these people and managed to deal with them in Yunzhou for three years.
If it weren't for the fact that Jun Cheng had been interfering with it, the current situation in Yunzhou would have been even worse.
Or maybe Zhao Jin was not afraid of the behavior of the Chen family and the county captain that day, which was a warning but a secret threat, and the county magistrate cooperated with Zhao Jin quite well.
Zhao Jin looked at the account book, and his brows furrowed more and more.
He threw the account book he had read aside and picked up the next one.
Jin Quan was waiting beside him, taking these things into his eyes without saying much.
He didn't understand anything about these things, so Jin Quan was very sensible and just took care of the internal affairs of the county magistrate's house and didn't touch anything else.
Seeing that Zhao Jin was upset, he carefully made a cup of tea beside him.
An hour later, Zhao Jin finished reading another book, but when he reached out his hand, it was empty. When he looked closely, he found that it was gone.
Zhao Jin leaned back on the chair, took a long breath, and rubbed his eyebrows.
Judging from the account books alone, the situation in Yunzhou is already a mess. The rest of the places...
Zhao Jin felt a little headache. He would rather go to the battlefield and fight than work hard here, dealing with those old foxes.
Of course, Zhao Jin could only think about how to settle down here and protect the people he wanted to protect.
These are inevitable.
Zhao Jin picked up the tea cup and took a few sips to feel relieved.
"Jin Quan, call the county magistrate."
"yes."
After a while, Li Qing walked over quickly and said, "Sir."
Zhao Jin pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit."
Li Qing sat down as ordered, cupped his hands and asked, "I wonder why you have called me here?"
"What's going on with Yunzhou's account books?" Zhao Jin raised his chin towards the pile of account books, "Every year, we can barely make enough expenses, almost not even a penny."
"It's such a coincidence every year."
Zhao Jin looked slightly cold, "Besides, this tax, in my impression, there are more than just these people in Yunzhou, right?"
He stayed in Yunzhou for half a month and sent people to secretly check the population of Yunzhou. Compared with the tax revenue, it was actually 20% less!
"My lord, I must have noticed that the taxation is wrong." The county magistrate hesitated for a long time and then spoke with difficulty.
"One of them is because they concealed their household registration, and the other is that they concealed their land."
Zhao Jin had already made a guess, and Li Qing's words confirmed his guess.
"It's those wealthy gentry."
This is an affirmative sentence.
Li Qing nodded. He looked at Zhao Jin, took a deep breath, stood up and faced Zhao Jin, clasped his fists in front of his eyes, bent down deeply, and his broad sleeves fell to the ground.
"Sir, Yunzhou has been rotten to the core. The lower officials have been trying to deal with it for a long time, but they can only maintain the situation like this, and they can no longer push forward even half a step."
"I beg you, sir, to save Yunzhou and save the people!"
Li Qing was a little bit more embarrassed when he said it later.
He had only been in Yunzhou for three years, and dealing with these people almost exhausted him mentally and physically.
Even so, he has no power and power, and there is nothing he can do against these people.
He didn't know what kind of person Zhao Jin was, so he could only make a last-ditch effort based on the fact that Zhao Jin punished Chen Shirong angrily on that day.
Zhao Jin quickly stepped forward to help Li Qing up, "Master Li said something serious. Since I am now the governor of Yunzhou County, this is my responsibility."
"Sir, the first thing is to collect Yunzhou's army." Li Qing looked solemn.
"The lower official did not mean to slander his colleagues, but Xu Yongshen colluded with the wealthy gentry, especially the Chen family, whose army and financial resources were all in their hands, so the situation was so passive."
Zhao Jin nodded, "Master Li, don't worry, the military side..."
Zhao Jin smiled lightly and said, "I've already taken action."
"Since Lord Li trusts me, there is another matter that needs to be handled by Lord Li."
Yang Xu looked coldly at the people in front of him.
He was originally a military cavalry officer. When he came to Yunzhou, he naturally joined the army and was considered a military attaché.
Yang Xu airborne, and it was Zhao Jin's people. Of course, Yunzhou's army did not welcome them.
After the others failed to win over Yang Xu, they became direct targets.
However, Yang Xu was always cold-faced and taciturn, which made more people dislike him.
"Hey, isn't this a Martial Cavalry Lieutenant? Where are you going?"
Yang Xu glanced coldly and turned around to avoid them, but they were here to find trouble and couldn't just give up.
"Where are you going, Mr. Wuqiwei, in a hurry? I heard that you are very powerful, but I don't know what is so powerful about him?"
Four or five soldiers stopped Yang Xu and made rude remarks.
"Hahaha, I don't know if it's powerful or not, it just looks like an embroidered pillow."
"Isn't it because he's just a talker?"
"You guys are really good at talking nonsense. Mr. Yang Xu is like a gourd with a saw-shaped gourd. He can't say a word for a long time."
Yang Xu remained calm. When he saw that they were standing in front of him again, he softly uttered one word, "Get out."
"Master Yang, what you said is wrong, isn't it?" Upon hearing this word, the faces of the soldiers changed instantly.
Takeda saw it from a distance and ran over, "What do you people want to do?"
"Hey, what does it have to do with you?"
Everyone didn't take Takeda seriously. Even Yang Xu couldn't do anything to an ordinary little soldier, let alone a mere Takeda.
"Sir Yang, you can't do this even if you are a Martial Cavalry Lieutenant, right?"
Takeda roughly understood what was going on.
Probably because these people were itchy, they came to provoke Yang Xu again. After being slapped, they felt unhappy.
"You are really funny." Takeda crossed his arms and clasped his fists, "Mr. Yang is your boss, not to mention that he is not such a person, even if he really insults you, so what?"
Liang Qian looked at Fu Fu from the side. Takeda's words not only attract hatred, but also make others hate him.
"Aren't we going to help?"
Liang Qian had a headache, "Of course I'm going to start a fight."
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel." Liang Qian stepped forward and grabbed several soldiers standing opposite Yang Xu.
