The Qin County Magistrate shook his head repeatedly, quietly pulled Ye Xingyuan aside, and advised: "Stop the anger. Although the Supervisor Master is fair and honest, these trivial matters are ultimately controlled by the people below. The Western Army is full of snakes and rats. Even if you let Captain Li suffer some trouble, you will still release them soon.

If he holds a grudge at that time, he will cause double harm to our Qiongguan County. That would be a disaster! Even if he is the top scholar, the Western Army will not care too much."

He thought that Ye Xingyuan's famous letter was the new top scholar, Enqiwei. This title sounds glamorous, but in fact it is useless to take it out. However, what Ye Xingyuan wants to use is of the identity of the Jinyiwei hundred households. Although the Jinyiwei cannot completely infiltrate the military, the Western Army cannot be afraid of the power of the Jinyiwei.

Ye Xingyuan captured Li Zhengwei in this capacity. He knew that County Magistrate Qin did not understand the inside story and did not explain, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate, I have my own opinions."

County Magistrate Qin was helpless, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "Sir, although Li Zhengwei's words just now were shocking, but... but this is actually the case, which is very different from the Jingzhao Mansion in the court. They may not dare to really increase the number of monsters and barbarians, but dozens of evil defeated troops can also make us feel overwhelmed..."

This situation is already very serious. Ye Xingyuan sighed: "Now the monster is very powerful. The military officer should have swear to serve the country to the death, but he still has to intrigue and plot against the rear. Why is this situation so deteriorating? Since I have come, of course I have to make trouble. I must do it from now on. You don't have to persuade me anymore."

The Qin County Magistrate could not persuade Ye Xingyuan, so he could only watch Lu Shiyi Niang with the Yellow Turban Strongman, lifted up Li Zhenglong and left. He complained in his heart, and the following wine and meat were all the same as chewing wax.

Ye Xingyuan had his own plans, but he didn't care. He ate enthusiastically and enjoyed himself. After drinking and eating, he returned to the county magistrate of Qin and Fang Dianshi and went to rest.

Qin and Fang couldn't sleep day and night, worried, but the matter had been done and they didn't know how to solve it. They could only lament that the top scholar was arrogant and Qiongguan County was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.

Early the next morning, Ye Xingyuan had just gotten up, and Lu Shiyi Niang had already returned. She handed over Captain Li to the three-sided governor's office, and was dealt with by the military judge. Xingye rushed back to continue to guard Ye Xingyuan's side.

Ye Xingyuan asked, "Why are there anyone in the yamen asking more?"

Lu Shiyi Niang said proudly: "Who dares to talk too much when doing business in the Jinyiwei? The military judge accepted the man surnamed Li, and without saying anything, he beat the thirty sticks to kill the powerful stick, which can be regarded as showing kindness to the Lord."

Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "According to this kind of crime, one hundred killing sticks is enough. Only thirty sticks are needed. It seems that officials and officials in the Western Army are still very protective of each other."

Lu Shiyi Niang was speechless, with a heavy military staff. Thirty killing sticks had already hit Li Ziwei and his butt. If he really hit a hundred times, even if he had thick skin and thick flesh and had the magical powers in the army, he would have to lose half of his life. The adults were not enough. It seemed that he was really a ruthless person with extremely ruthless means.

However, for Lu Shiyi Niang, the more powerful Ye Xingyuan is, the more she feels relied on, and therefore becomes more devoted.

Ye Xingyuan said again: "Let's put aside this matter for the time being. If we deal with this Captain Li, the General of Xifeng Pass will definitely hold a grudge, but he will not attack me for a while. He will definitely leave it to the time when the demon barbarians can hunt. We just took advantage of the two months to straighten the matter in the county and make preparations."

Lu Shiyi Niang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, sir, you should still count the warehouse accounts as soon as possible, first see how much foundation we have in our county, and then add the secret card of Jinyiwei, Fang Hao's plan."

In small border counties, governance is nothing more than money, grain, prison, and public security. In the county, the county is settled and sufficient money and grain can only benefit people's livelihood. Ye Xingyuan takes over Qiongguan County and must first count the bad debts.

Ye Xingyuan sighed: "From the words of the Qin County Magistrate, you can tell that my ex-girlfriend didn't know how much money he had to fill the big hole in Xifengguan. I think Qiongguan County is really poor and there is no need to look forward to the warehouse."

Although there is no need to expect, I have to click it out first. Ye Xingyuan summoned the county magistrate, Dianshi and others, and found the treasury officials in the warehouse, collected the accounts, opened the warehouse door, and counted them one by one while the day.

There was a granary warehouse in the county, but it was empty at this time. When the door was opened, there was only a nest of mice sleeping. The sunlight shone in from the door, alarming the mice. However, they were not afraid of people, and they just moved away lazily and hid in the darkness.

Ye Xingyuan saw the mice with thin body and smiled bitterly: "Many people say that the mice in the granary are blessed, but the mice in the granary in our county are hungry. It's so pitiful."

Judging from the open accounts, the county should have had 3,000 stones of miscellaneous grains for emergencies. However, from another secret account, these grains had been supplied to Xifeng Pass, and the former Magistrate Wang had moved around and racked his brains to almost level the deficit. Only the gap of 3,000 stones is worthy of later generations.

Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "It's hard to worry about Lord Wang so much. This account will be cancelled, so as not to be worthy of the name."

He picked up the red pen and wiped the three thousand stones of grain on the account. Qin County Magistrate Fang Dianshi was dumbfounded. If a strong magistrate was, he would sometimes erase small accounts like this, but he was so domineering as Ye Xingyuan, as he had just arrived at the first time.

He is not afraid that the few people present will secretly participate in his book? You should know that the county government's accounts correspond to the warehouse. If the magistrate operates like this, it means that he can embezzle and cheat at any time.

Even if Ye Xingyuan was just kind enough to eliminate trouble for his ex this time, this behavior was enough to make him unable to take it. County Magistrate Qin had a small plan in his mind, but he couldn't make up his mind how to deal with himself.

I heard that the top scholar came from exile and offended the entire cabinet, but I was afraid he would never be able to turn over again. But some people said that he asked to guard the border, which was highly appreciated by the emperor and had a deep background.

From Ye Xingyuan to Qiongguan County, he first captured Li Ziwei and then deleted the county government account. Both of these things were done with great courage. It was impossible to tell whether he had something to rely on or was a naughty person.

County Magistrate Qin thought for a while and thought it would be better to wait and see the direction of the wind.

Since the granary is empty, there is nothing to count. Ye Xingyuan just wiped out the accounts. After checking the warehouse, it was Ye Xingyuan's turn to laugh and cry.

In the entire Qiongguan County warehouse, there were only forty or fifty taels of silver and dozens of moldy copper coins left. This silver was just paid for this season's salary from the provincial capital, and it was not deducted. This dynasty's scholars were re-study, and it was a serious crime to deduct the salary of officials, so the money could not be misappropriated.

In other words, a county has a total of about a few hundred yuan in finance, and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The granary was empty, as Ye Xingyuan expected. After all, tens of thousands of soldiers in Xifeng Pass were going to have a meal, so they must have squeezed Qiongguan County without any trouble, and Magistrate Wang could not stop it. But the silver treasury was not even a penny, which was really challenging the bottom line.

This Qiongguan County is really as its name suggests, so it can be changed to "poor" Guan County.

The Qin County Magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "The county's finances have always been tight. These hundreds of dollars are just placed in the treasury. In fact, there are still a lot of bad debts outside. Every year, someone comes to the county government to ask for the debts, and the magistrate Wang is in trouble..."

Ye Xingyuan was still in debt outside? He was speechless. He realized that no matter how poor Qiongguan County is, normal work must be carried out. All the expenses in the yamen must be used.

The salaries of officials were directly allocated by the court, but the minor officials below had to eat county finance meals, plus travel, banquets, official supplies, soap and clerk clothes, charcoal, food and other items, and a total of 0,000 yuan a year.

The situation in Qiongguan County is complicated. First, the population is not large, and second, the tax is difficult to collect. The tax collected every year is not enough for the fiscal expenditure, and Xifengguan has to ask for a part of it. Of course, life is tight.

Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "The county government does not have enough cost. Can you ask the provincial capital to allocate part of it?"

The county government is about to go bankrupt. The province and the government can't ignore it at all, right?

County Magistrate Qin shook his head, "What kind of person can get money from the province? The county master may be able to try it now. Lord Wang never succeeded when he was there. When he asked for debts at the end of the year and couldn't force him to force him to pay a portion of it, and barely fool him."

The county magistrate was really frustrated, Ye Xingyuan sighed. But when he turned around, he realized that this was not the case. The county government has no money, which does not mean that the county magistrate has no money.

In such a poor place, if you have the will, the magistrate can still get money. Even if you can't "100,000 snowflakes in the Qing magistrate in three years", it is enough to make a fortune. Therefore, magistrate Wang is willing to take out a part of it to pay the debt for the county government, otherwise he would never be able to become an official for the past nine years.

The Qin County Magistrate said this sentence specifically, which should be said to Ye Xingyuan. It means that he also asked him to follow the old rules and pay the debt for the county government? Ye Xingyuan did not have the idea of ​​a surrender.

He himself would not shave three feet of the ground, and of course he would not recite the financial accounts by himself. He just nodded calmly and said, "The county is really poor, so I should think of a way."

The Qin County Magistrate thought to himself, what can you do? In theory, a poor county may apply for subsidies. But Jianmen itself is a poor province, and the cost of savings is also inconsistent. Who has the ability to dig out money?

In addition, we either ask the gentry in the county to raise funds. This method was used once or twice when Magistrate Wang first came, but the money was not blown by the strong wind, so he was willing to subsidize again and again. Now all the gentlemen in the county are just crying and poor. Last time they wanted to rebuild county school, they refused to pay even a penny, which made Magistrate Wang vomit blood.

Ye Xingyuan encountered the second big problem again. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. In such a large county government, he could not do anything without a start-up capital.
