Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 44 Pfft...

With Wang Zhen leading the way, this time Guo An walked straight into the gate of Yan Palace in a daze, and there were no guards to stop him.

Seeing this, Guo An felt relieved, and followed Wang Zhen straight into the Palace of King Yan, and arrived at the Palace of Cunxin, which was already full of officials.

Guo An and Wang Zhen respectfully saluted Zhu Di on the throne.

"Your Majesty, Wanping County Magistrate Guo An, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"The last general... Wang Zhen, the official historian of Wanping County, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Get up!"

As Zhu Di's voice came from the throne, Guo An felt a little surprised. He could hear a little joy from Zhu Laosi's mouth?
"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Guo An got up, he felt eyes looking at him.

Subconsciously turned his head to look, his eyes widened suddenly!
"puff……"

On his right side, there unexpectedly appeared several unkempt, dark-skinned civil servants, looking extremely miserable.

However, after seeing his face clearly, Guo An quickly suppressed his smile, and asked with concern: "Zhai County Magistrate, Peng County Magistrate, what's the matter?"

Zhai Shanfang, Peng Shuilian and the others couldn't help but turn dark. They heard clearly just now, but the magistrate of Wanping County laughed directly at them!
Moreover, they have been inspecting under the administration of Wanping County for the past few days, and they don't believe that the county magistrate Guo doesn't know what happened to them.

"Humph!"

Zhai Shanfang, Peng Shuilian and the others kept dark faces and did not explain, while Guo An just smiled bitterly, and had no intention of asking further.

As the magistrate of Wanping County, he is very clear about what happened to these magistrates in the past few days.

However, Zhu Di from above quit, and directly yelled at Zhai Shanfang, Peng Shuilian and others.

"A group of thieves, why do you have the face to show Guo An?"

Hearing this, Guo An was startled, Zhu Lao Si was not trying to harm him, so he immediately wanted to raise his head to stop him.

However, Zhu Di scolded more and more vigorously.

"A group of abolished officials have been cultivating fields for more than two months in a row, not to mention wasting people and money, but they haven't even cultivated [-] hectares.

It's okay to be incompetent, but every one of them still has a fucking evil heart and likes to get pink eye!
Seeing the people in Wanping County borrowing food, I want to get in the way!

And everyone is full of grievances, questioning this questioning that?
The king sent the palace guards to take you to inspect the number of reclaimed fields in various townships in Wanping County. You didn't even go down for half a day, and you started all kinds of stealing, rape and trickery, complaining to the sky!
Originally it was only a two-day journey, but you were asked to wait for this group of thieves to walk for five days?

Now, you have all checked clearly, how can you still have face to show face to the magistrate of Wanping County? "

"Damn it, all the dog officials really can do whatever they want, they are good at stealing, rape and trickery!

Look at your fat head, big ears, and potbellied appearance, you are really a treacherous official, this king really wants to play to the emperor, and let Jin Yiwei thoroughly investigate you and so on! "

"Damn it..."

The more he talked, the more excited Zhu Di looked.

As for the prefects and counties below, the more they listened, the more frightened their expressions became.

In less than a moment, the sweat beads on the foreheads of every Zhizhou Zhixian began to roll down by themselves.

"Your Highness forgive me!"

"Your Highness knows your mistake, please spare your life!"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness..."

Seeing the wailing of these prefects and counties, Zhu Di was even more upset.

"Shut up, all of you, my king!"

After the words fell, all the prefects and magistrates fell silent, but all of them still stared at Zhu Di with terrified faces.

In contrast, Guo An, who has always dared to put on face with him, and even dared to play tricks and drink with him, has hardened his image in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Guo An, tell me how this king should deal with these thieves?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help being surprised.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I'm just a small county magistrate. How dare I suggest how to deal with my colleagues?"

Guo An was not wrong about the term "colleague".

Over the past two months or so, Guo An has almost gotten to know the officials of Daming.

In Daming, Zhizhou is not the fixed superior of county magistrate.

Generally, Zhizhou is from the fifth rank, but Zhili Prefecture's Zhizhou rank is higher, and it is a fourth-rank official.

However, most of the scattered states are affiliated to the prefectures, at the same county level.

Although Tongzhou, Jizhou, and Zhuozhou under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture still lead a county, they all belong to Beiping Prefecture, at the same county level, and belong to the fifth rank.

As for the county magistrates, most of them are of the seventh rank.

However, Wanping County is a subordinate county, and the official rank is one level higher than that of ordinary magistrates, which is the sixth rank.

Therefore, at the official level, Guo An is not much different from the group of prefects and counties in front of him.

In addition, Guo An is now highly valued by King Zhu Di of Yan. Even if it is to show face to these prefects and prefects, these prefects and prefects just dare not speak out.
It's just that with King Yan guarding Wang Zhen by Guo An's side, these officials have to weigh it if they want to take revenge!
At this time, seeing that the time was almost up, Nie Zishi, the political envoy of Beiping, was also afraid that Zhu Dizhen would kill or drive away these unsightly prefects and magistrates, which would make Beiping government short of prefects and magistrates for a while, so he hurriedly stood up. Come out and say.

"Your Highness, I remember that a few days ago, at the office of the Chief Envoy, these magistrates promised His Highness that as long as Wanping County really reclaimed [-] hectares of land, they would let His Highness dispose of them!

Therefore, the lower officials feel that His Highness should severely punish this group of ignorant officials. "

Hearing this, the faces of the prefects and counties changed drastically.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he looked directly at Nie Zishi.

"I don't know what clever strategy Nie Fantai has?"

"Your Highness, I feel that it is a bit overkill to bother Jin Yiwei just because of these magistrates."

As he said that, Nie Zishi turned his head and glanced aside, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at his prefects and counties beggingly, and continued: "Since these prefects and counties think that the people of one county alone cannot Within a month, [-] hectares of land were reclaimed.

But now that Wanping County has been reclaimed, His Highness might as well punish them to figure out how to reclaim [-] hectares of land in two...three months without wasting money.

If it can't be completed, or if it is a waste of people and money, causing the people under the rule to complain, His Highness can go up to the emperor and hand over all the prefects and counties to Jin Yiwei! "

Hearing Jin Yiwei, all the prefects and counties shuddered subconsciously.

And above, Zhu Di's eyes widened with joy.

"Nie Fantai's plan is brilliant!"

After praising Nie Zishi, Zhu Di looked directly at the ashen-faced prefects and county magistrates, "Would you like to be punished, you thief officials?"

"Return to Your Highness, the officials and others are willing to be punished!"

"So, this king will spare you for the time being and give you two years. If you can't figure out how to reclaim two thousand hectares of land within two months, this king will definitely report to the emperor. Hand over all of you to Jin Yiwei!
When that happens, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

"Xiaguan and others will definitely live up to His Highness' expectations!"

All the magistrates of the prefectures bowed their hands and saluted again and again, and at the same time their expressions relaxed.

On the side, Guo An looked at these magistrates and Nie Zishi, and subconsciously shuddered.

Sure enough, the more genuine a person looks, the more vicious they will be when they plan to take revenge!

Then, the person who was revenged had to thank others in turn!
