Guo Zhiyuan looked at Sun Liren with a sad face, and then looked at the people around who were wearing vegetables but even the elderly, weak, women and children holding weapons. He suddenly felt a sore nose. He suddenly made an action that surprised everyone. He saw him tidy up his official robe, bowed deeply to Sun Liren and the people around him very seriously, then straightened his waist and said loudly: "The bandits in Gutian are rampant, and nine out of ten families are empty, which is the government's dereliction of duty! I am here to apologize to the villagers on behalf of the government. I am here to swore to all the villagers that I must clear the bandits in Gutian, so that the people in Gutian can live and work in peace, and give the people in Gutian a bright world! If you violate this oath, the sky will be struck by thunder!..."

Sun Liren and the people were shocked. For thousands of years, there was no reason why the county magistrate bowed to the people to apologize?! Although Guo Zhiyuan was just a simple action, they felt the difference between Guo Zhiyuan and the noble official in their previous impression. Especially Guo Zhiyuan actually made a poisonous oath of thunder in front of them, which made them feel Guo Zhiyuan's determination to make decisions for the people!

"Master Qingtian! God finally opened his eyes and sent us Master Qingtian. The people of Gutian finally had hope!..." Sun Liren knelt down to Guo Zhiyuan again. This kneeling was very different from the kneeling when he first met Guo Zhiyuan. This was a kneeling of convincing heart! As his kneeling, the "Master Qingtian" sounded one after another, and the people around him also knelt down one after another, shouting "Master Qingtian!", with tears of excitement and joy in their eyes.

Guo Zhiyuan hurried to help Sun Liren, but Sun Liren insisted on not getting up. In the end, Guo Zhiyuan could only continue on the way to Gutian County on their knees. Along the way, Guo Zhiyuan was in a heavy mood and silent. Chu Wan'er, who liked to quarrel with him, felt bored, and glanced at him, deliberately searching for trouble: "Guo Zhiyuan, you are so powerful just now, but have you forgotten what Mr. Xu said just now? The bandits here come and go like the wind, and it is not easy to wipe out. If you can't do it, you will break your promise. Do you really want to be struck by lightning?..."

In fact, Guo Zhiyuan was also thinking about this matter at this time. He looked at the situation in Gutian County and was angry and swearing to the people to completely eliminate the bandits. In fact, he was not sure. Although he had the advantage of time travel, what he heard since childhood was the story of the Red Army's revolution and fighting guerrilla attacks, which made the reactionary government frightened. Now he has become an official army, and his position has been adjusted. All the tricks in the story are useless. After thinking about it, he has never thought of any good idea.

Now that Chu Wan'er said this, he became more and more upset. He looked at Xu Guangqi, who was sitting in the carriage and pondering, scratched his head and said, "Do you think we are too hasty just now? I am really..."

Xu Guangqi waved his hand and said, "No, I think the young master did a good job just now. Since the young master was appointed as the magistrate of Gutian County, it is the young master's responsibility to protect the country and protect the people. If the young master wants to establish a foothold in Gutian County, he must eliminate the bandits. This cannot be avoided. To eliminate the bandits, we must first win the hearts of the people. The young master just exchanged the hearts of the people with his oath, which is half successful. As for this specific strategy to suppress bandits, we need to wait until the young master officially takes office to understand the military situation of Gutian County and the distribution of the bandits' forces before making plans..."

After hearing what Xu Guangqi said, Guo Zhiyuan was much more contented. He stopped thinking about it and urged everyone to speed up and strive to arrive at Gutian County earlier.

After traveling dozens of miles, I finally saw Gutian County. This Gutian County is at the intersection of two inland official roads leading to Fuzhou. The geographical location is very important, so the scale is quite large. Perhaps because of the years of bandits, the city wall has been built quite thickly.

According to the official rules of the Ming Dynasty, a landlord like a county magistrate took office, the original assistants of the local area must have brought local gentry out of the city to welcome him, but now Guo Zhiyuan didn't even see a shadow of a person outside Gutian County! Although Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about the red tape of the officialdom that came and went to see him, and also thought that the original officials of Gutian County might not catch a cold, but they did not expect these guys to do so too much. Today is his first day to officially take office, and Gutian County has no one to welcome him as a person, which means that the current officials of Gutian County do not take him seriously at all!

Seeing this situation, Guo Zhiyuan was in a bad mood even worse. He waved to everyone and said, "Let's go directly to the county government!" As he said that, he headed straight for the city gate!

I found a commoner at the gate of the city to ask about the general location of the county government. Guo Zhiyuan, who was so angry, led everyone straight to the county government. Before the county government gate, I saw a large group of people gathered in the middle of the county government gate, and excitedly surrounded the few officials at the county government gate clamoring for something.

Guo Zhiyuan was stunned when he saw this situation. He was so familiar with this scene! He had never seen such things when he was a secretary for the mayor in his previous life. It was clearly a group incident! If he put a few more banners like "Repay my hard-earned money", Guo Zhiyuan would have thought he had traveled back again!

This group of events has always been the most troublesome problem for officials. Why? Because this group of events is the most uncontrollable. As the saying goes, one person can make a fortune, three people become tigers. Once there are more people, one person has an idea, everything will be messed up. If you can convince this and not convince that, a small accident may completely lose control. At that time, the scholar will be indecisive when he encounters a soldier. Moreover, if this group of events is handled well, others will not think that you have made contributions. If you don’t handle it well, it will cause the situation to expand. Instead, they will say that you are incompetent. So even the mayor who Guo Zhiyuan followed in his previous life will be able to hide if he encounters such group events. If you can push it, you will never come forward easily and cause trouble!

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan could not escape like the mayor he had followed in his previous life, and he was indeed unavoidable. He had already vaguely realized that this incident should be for him, and it was a "unique welcome ceremony" created by someone for him, the new county magistrate. Of course, Guo Zhiyuan would not recklessly deal with such a difficult group incident before he understood the situation clearly. Isn't that the same as jumping into the trap set by others?

Guo Zhiyuan was about to call Zhang Cheng over and ask him to go over and find out what was going on. A small official standing on the steps in front of the county government found his figure from afar. His face was happy, and he pointed his fingers in the direction of him, saying a few words to the crowd of black people surrounding the county government. Then the crowd of black people rushed towards him like a wolf pack that had discovered a new target!
