The existence of human beings is really hard to explain!

The people who had just fled now have a backbone. When they saw officials in charge of the city defense, they also saw "official soldiers" taking over the city gate, they entered the city to settle down.

Anyway, I originally ran out of Qingxing City, but I just went home.

And this time, they were not going to attack the Tartars, but defending their own homes. The strong men who had their own thoughts were all eager to try and become proud.

He assigned people to look closely at the city gate and was not afraid of people running away. Hong Jing came and tried to get some shoulder poles and sticks to send them to the strong man, and prepared to control the whole city.

Even Qingxing City, which was empty before, suddenly saw the people returning, and officials and officials entered the city, hiding in the cellars, beams, and attics, as well as the people in the attics were brave enough to come out to watch.

We witnessed the "official army" that organized the patrols to patrol the streets and relieve the people. We also saw the county government raise the flags and set off firecrackers and whips. Some local officials entered the city to preside over the presidency. Then we came out one after another and visited carefully.

Qingxing was slightly settled, and the first thing Hong Jing did when he came to the city was of course inspecting the official warehouse, and his 450 people under him wanted to have a meal!

Just as he was about to take Choi Zhengji to inspect the official warehouse, Choi Zhengji sat on the threshold without moving.

"Don't go and see it, it's meaningless. There's a lot of mice running away in the official warehouse. If there were money and grain, could the county supervisor not take it out to recruit brave men?"

"The treasury has not accumulated any reserves in the border town of Qingxing?" Hong Jinglai's expectations were actually not too great. It would be enough to be able to eat for a few days after these hundreds of mouths.

"Even if there is, I've moved into the county magistrate's private house long ago. How could I stay in the official warehouse?" Cui Zhengji took off his shoes and began to rub his feet and pinch his legs.

"Gelang walked back, and the moon gate on the right side was the official warehouse. If there was no lock, you could go in directly."

Hong Jinglai didn't believe in evil, so he looked at the official warehouse behind the yamen. There was no grain pile and the warehouse was really not locked. No matter whether it was money or rice, it should have been vacant from the spider webs in the house.

As a result, in addition to the kitchen in the backyard of the yamen, there were dozens of stones of rice, wheat beans, and it was clean as if it had been washed by a powerful drum washing machine.

"Gelang, you are a Jinshi, and you have been appointed as the first to Tanhua. You are a newcomer to local affairs, that's how it is."

Choi Jung-ki finally had the opportunity to secretly mock Hong Jinglai, and patted Hong Jinglai on the shoulder as if he was a person who had passed.

"Then Cui Zhizhang knows where there is food?"

"I'm afraid there's not much in the city, but there are only some rice shops that can still have food. As for outside the city, there is one place, which is always available for four or five hundred stones."

"Don't keep it a secret! Which village house's granary is it?"

"Hahaha, it's not true! It's Zhuangtiancang in Changqing Palace in Hanyang City."

"Miyata of this age?"

“Yes!”

You have the courage to steal the king's food? You don't dare to borrow ten or eight courages!

"So, Gelang should take the whole city and raise food and fodder." Seeing Hong Jinglai's slightly crappy look, Cui Zhengji laughed in his heart.

"No! The whole city is safe at the beginning. If the city is found, the people's hearts will definitely be very bad!" Hong Jinglai also hoped that the people would be strong and the number of people to defend the city and "fight" was added.

At this time, Han Que, who was sitting in the shade under the eaves and shaking the palm-leaf fan he got from somewhere, raised his head.

"Gelang dared not take the rice from now on, and Suocheng was afraid of bad things. The subordinates knew about a place of money and food, but it was hard to say how much."

"Han Cheng said it."

"This county government is really not rich, but it actually seems rich, and it is very rich!" The old man looked around the county government, as if he had some memories.

"Where is it?" Hong Jinglai left Cui Zhengji, took two steps at a time, and walked to Han Que.

The old man smiled, did not answer, and signaled Hong Jing to wait.

A few people sat in the yamen. After a while, several of the original yamen's servants came in to pay their respects. They all fled before and now entered the city, or were hiding in the city waiting for the chaos to pass.

I saw an acquaintance Choi Zhengji sitting in front of the hall, surrounded by a young, heroic and extraordinary man in the center of the crowd. Several books and office workers all came up to kneel down and shouted "Sir".

It is better to be in charge of county officials now. Since Qingxing has been "restored", the county supervisor who abandoned the city must be punished. If the adults ask for resignation, they naturally have to be purged.

One day the emperor and another day the minister are nothing more than this.

The young man in front of him may be the next county magistrate or county magistrate. They will show their loyalty first, which means that they will burn half a cold stove and will have a great future.

"This is Hong Gelang, the new Tanhualang, and he is the nephew of Hong Empress Huiqing Palace. He is even considered as the uncle of the current generation. You can weigh it yourself." Han Que told the others not to speak, and he would ask questions.

.

When several servants heard this, they immediately lowered their bodies. Hong Jinglai was indeed a huge background. They should not "blam too much" in dealing with money, grain and civil affairs in the future.

"The little one understands, the little one understands!" One of the middle-aged men came over.

"The young man is willing to pay 80 taels of money and ask for the right middle rank (there are divisions in Li Chaocheng)."

"I don't want your money. Now the court's ambassador recruitment is coming. You can pay the food! There are still eighty taels, more than two thousand entries on the right side, and there are still thousands of entries six miles outside the city, at least one hundred and twenty.

Two!" Han Quei was so powerful.

"The little one understands, the little one understands, let's take it!" One hundred and twenty taels can definitely make money for three years, and the price is very fair.

When they saw this person succeeded, others were rushing to go, some asked for taxes and some asked for repatriation, but they all paid their own food.

One afternoon, I sold more than a dozen servants one after another, but I actually got 700 stones of grain and filled the warehouse.

"Prime Minister Han teaches you, every word is a pearl!" Hong Jinglai was aware of it.

He asked the officers and clerks to collect "respond bribes" or "respond debts". The yamen changed the chief officials every three years, and the yamen's clerks naturally changed the officers every three years.

If you want to continue to stay or move your butt to a rich place, you have to pay the head official in exchange for the head official's permission to serve you.

When they give money, they naturally have to try to make a profit and exploit the people even more. But nowadays, no matter how they do they do, how can there be officials who do not exploit the people?

Instead of letting them get away with it and not spend a penny, it is better to let them spit out some of the money and grain they have exploited first.

Someone always has to do things. For the sake of the present, what else can I do besides relying on them?

So Han said that the government office is very poor, very poor, but very rich. If this wealth comes to office, you can earn thousands of taels or even thousands of taels of "bribes" when every chief officer takes office.
