Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Jia Huan continued to give instructions: "Captain Xing, you are responsible for maintaining the order of Ping An County. During the reform period, I don't know what ghosts and monsters will appear. You must ensure that there is no trouble in the county."

"Jiaoyu, you are responsible for publicizing the benefits of the new law to the country and the people to the students. The effectiveness of the publicity will be included in the evaluation, and I will personally evaluate it."

"The rest of the people, please cooperate fully with the reform without making any mistakes. Can you understand me clearly? If you understand me, I will act according to the order without making any mistakes. If you don't understand something, please ask me now."

"If anyone does something wrong, don't blame me for holding you accountable!"

As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, he heard Master Song say loudly: "My lord, the county magistrate, I cannot complete the task of this official in one month. Please be careful."

One month is indeed a short time to measure all the acres of land in the county.

But if we find more manpower and work overtime, it can still be completed.

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "You can find more manpower, and all expenses can be recorded in the county government expenses, but within one month, the measurement task must be completed."

Secretary Song said: "I want you to know that firstly, our county government office does not have much silver left. Secondly, even if we find more people, one month will definitely not be enough."

Seeing that Chief Song was quarreling with the county magistrate again, the remaining officials stood back and watched the show.

Jia Huan asked calmly: "How long will it take Master Song to complete the task?"

Chief Song said loudly: "It will take at least one year. This is not an excuse from my subordinates. If you don't believe me, ask someone to inquire. If this matter is done in another county, I am afraid it will take two years!"

After Master Song finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Jia Huan said with a straight face: "Since you can't do it, then I will remove you from your post and replace it with someone who can do it."

"Secretary Song, you will prepare the handover matters today. After I have selected the candidate and completed the handover with you, you can leave your job and find another way out on your own."

Master Song sneered and said: "I want you to know that although you respect me as the county magistrate, your subordinates have never committed any serious crimes. Even your Excellency, you don't have the right to remove your subordinates from their posts at will, right?"

Jia Huan sneered: "So this is what you rely on? Do you know that before I took up my post, I was summoned by the Holy Father?"

"Your Majesty allows me to act expediently. I have the right to kill you first and report later. If you are dismissed from your post, I only need to give a memorial to Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Song Wen couldn't help but feel terrified.

He was originally a pawn who was pushed to the stage to compete with the new county magistrate.

What he relies on is that as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, even the county magistrate has no right to remove him.

It was precisely because of this that he opposed the new county magistrate at every turn and danced so happily.

If he had known that the new county magistrate had the emperor's authorization to act cheaply, he would not have danced so happily.

At this time, Song Wen was really afraid that Jia Huan would take off his official clothes, so he hurriedly looked at the county magistrate Cao An.

Cao An secretly cursed a loser. Although he was asked to come out and compete with the county magistrate, he was not allowed to dance so happily!
Now it's good, but it's not going to end well if it angers the county magistrate.

But he still had to keep Song Wen. If he was really removed from his post by the new county magistrate, it would be more and more difficult for them to do it later.

Thinking of this, Cao An couldn't help but said: "Master Jia, Director Song made an unreasonable statement and should indeed be punished."

"But since he took up the post of Chief Registrar, he has been conscientious, hard-working and never made any mistakes. Now is the time to employ people, why not let him serve his crime and make meritorious service? If he really does not do well, it will not be too late to punish him?"

Jia Huan sneered and said, "Why didn't I ask him to do something? It's just that he admitted that he couldn't do it. Since he doesn't have the ability, let someone with the ability do it."

Cao An hurriedly said: "Master Song, Mr. Jia has said this, you have to express yourself whether you can complete the errands assigned to you by Mr. Jia on time!"

Song Wen bent down in humiliation and said: "Go back to the county magistrate, Mr. Cao, if we recruit more people, it is not impossible to complete this errand on time."

Cao An said: "Master Jia, how about giving Master Song another chance?" Jia Huan said solemnly: "Today, I will give Cao County Cheng a face. If you can't complete the job after one month, I will be dismissed. You, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”

Song Wen whispered: "Yes, I have remembered it."

Song Wen is no longer as arrogant as before.

In fact, Jia Huan could have dismissed Cao An's face and dismissed Song Wen.

But that's not what being an official does, and he couldn't just dismiss Song Wen with his disrespectful words.

How can you convince the public by acting like this?I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult to carry out work in the future.

The rest of the people saw that the prickly head Song Wen was being punished by the new county magistrate and bowed their heads in submission. Naturally, they did not dare to make any mistakes.

What's more, the errands assigned by the new county magistrate were Song Wen's heaviest errands, and the errands they carried out were not difficult to complete.

After giving instructions, Jia Huan ordered everyone to do things.

There was nothing going on at the county government office, so Jia Huan simply went back and changed into casual clothes. He took Mo Da and four other Mohist disciples with him and left the county government office, preparing to experience the customs and customs of Ping'an County for himself.

Ping'an County has convenient transportation and is a large county, so the county is quite prosperous.

Although it cannot be compared with the capital city, as a county town, it is quite good.

Jia Huan was like a rich boy who had never been out, very curious about everything he saw.

No matter what product you see along the street, you should go up and ask about the price.

After walking a few streets, Jia Huan had a rough idea of ​​the prices in Ping'an County.

Prices in Ping'an County are not high. Not only are they much lower than those in the capital, they are almost the same or slightly higher than some poor counties.

Jia Huan's understanding of prices in other poor counties also benefited from the many reports he read in the Hanlin Academy.

For a prosperous county, this price is really low.

Jia Huan has probably guessed the reason for this situation.

That is, Ping'an County is actually quite wealthy, but the people here are not wealthy.

The vast majority of money is in the hands of a very small number of people.

The vast majority of people are poor, and because they are poor, their consumption is very low.

If consumption is low, market circulation will be low, and prices will inevitably not rise.

The Ping'an County market is polarized.

For example, there are only one or two high-end restaurants, and the rest are almost all snack shops.

There are very few mid-range restaurants.

The same goes for entertainment consumption, with the highest-end brothels and the lowest-end ajar doors being the busiest.

After getting a general understanding of the situation in Ping'an County, Jia Huan knew what was going on. He bought some gadgets and prepared to go back.

At this moment, Jia Huan heard the noisy sound of horse hooves and wanton laughter from behind.

Once bitten by a snake, Jia Huan was immediately frightened after being afraid of well ropes for ten years. (End of chapter)
