Chapter 62

After Wei Magistrate Gao sat on the chief's case on the lobby of the county government, two assistant officials sat on the side of the lower side, the county magistrate Feng Ping and the chief clerk Wang He, and then there were a group of officials, three yamen runners and servants on both sides. A hundred county government officials gathered together, which was a gathering. Naturally, the magistrate who sat on the top suddenly felt the pleasure of being in power.

This is why Paiya can be secretly called a small court. This feeling of being high above people, giving orders, and calling for a hundred promises is actually not much different from the emperor's court and the general's promotion to the tent, which can satisfy people's desire for power to the greatest extent.

A few years ago, there was a joke in the officialdom, saying that the Beijing officials and local ruling officials met and bragged each other. The Beijing officials said that I was closer to the emperor, and the local officials said that I had a Paiya; the Beijing officials said that I had a charcoal in winter, and a Bingjing in summer, and the local officials said that I had a Paiya; the Beijing officials said that we could not mention the Paiya. The local officials just smiled and said, "I don't have to bow and bow and salute when I see people, and then the Beijing officials lost their temper. Let's talk about Paiya."

Although this joke has the sour grapes of local officials, it can also be seen that the local officials in charge of the Paiya are quite envied by other officials. Li Ling is at the forefront of the team, and when Wei Liang said those grand and grand scenes, he can also clearly feel the solemnity and grandness of the Paiya scene.

Finally, after the polite words that were not nutritious at the beginning, Wei Magistrate looked up, his eyes swept across the faces of all the subordinate officials, and said in a deep voice: "Although I am new to the office, I am also determined to build some achievements in my Jiangcheng County and seek welfare for the people. I hope you can do your best to help me and not let the previous unhappiness reappear again."

"I am obeying the orders of my lord." Everyone agreed in unison.

"Very good, so let me talk about some arrangements after the New Year. One is taxation. Last fall, there were some people who owed taxes last fall. Now, in the past few months, they should collect the taxes and grains they owed. You have always been responsible for this part, so let's do it. At the latest by the end of March, the taxes and grains they owed must be in place."

Feng Ping wanted to say something, but when he met Wei Liang's eyes, he was afraid to speak, so he could only bow and agree: "The official will receive the order. Next, I will do my best to collect tax arrears."

"Secondly, I have checked the incoming and outgoing money in the yamen, but I always can't match the account. This is the responsibility of the household house, Li Dianli..."

Li Ling hurriedly folded his spirits and responded with a step: "I will definitely sort out all the relevant accounts in a short period of time without leaving any questions."

"Well, it's best to sort out the accounts within this month, so that you can report them to the government office in time." Wei Liang nodded with satisfaction and added.

Li Ling said it again. Then Wei Magistrate mentioned the major matters such as urging the training of agriculture and sericulture after the beginning of spring, as well as the imperial examinations in March, which were all matters that the county government must handle in the next period of time, and the relevant people naturally received the orders one by one.

As Wei Liang kept arranging errands, Li Ling finally realized how many responsibilities he was as a county magistrate. This is not what some films and TV shows see. It seems that when a county magistrate is doing nothing except for hearing a few cases from time to time. In fact, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in a county have too many big and small matters that need to be handled, but now all these responsibilities are on him, a county magistrate. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an important task.

It was not until after giving all these trivial but important errands that Wei Liang's face darkened again: "There is another most important thing that must be stopped quickly, that is the Zhuang Hong case. Do you have any suggestions or further evidence?"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere at the scene became a little stiff. Almost everyone looked at the nose and nose, as if they had not heard the county magistrate’s problem. There were a few people with poor concentration, and the flesh on their faces trembled a little.

Li Ling knew very well why they had this reaction. After all, there were various interests in the county government, and no one dared to say whether he would involve himself when convicting Zhuang Hong. Seeing that almost everyone stopped making a sound, Wei Liang's face turned dark again, but it was not easy to attack on the spot, so he could only snorted: "I will investigate this matter to the end, and I will continue to be tried soon. Okay, the yard will be over today, and everyone will be dispersed."

As the county magistrate walked out of the lobby, everyone relaxed. After going out, several close friends gathered together to whisper and talk about something. Almost all the officials in the six-household office were like this, but only the household house seemed a little deserted. When they saw Li Ling sitting back in their seats, Zhao Han and Fang Zhiyuan secretly turned their eyes, and then Fang Zhiyuan took the lead and came to Li Ling with a smile: "Li Dianli."

"Hmm? Are you doing something?" Li Ling had just taken a copy of the account book left last year and wanted to take a look. He looked up and asked after hearing the greeting.

"There is something wrong with my young family. My mother is ill and needs to be sent to the city for a famous doctor to treat her. So I want to take a leave of absence for a few days. I wonder if the Dian Jie can be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to do so?"

Li Ling looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then smiled and said, "Since you are filial to your mother, it is natural and accurate. In this way, is it enough to give you five days?"

"Enough is enough." Fang Zhiyuan nodded quickly and responded, turning around, his face full of smug smile.

He had just returned to his seat, and Zhao Han walked to Li Ling again, looking embarrassed: "Li Dianli, I am very uncomfortable recently. The doctor said I need to rest at home, so I am afraid I can't come to the county government office these days..."

"Is that so? How many days do you need to rest? Is five days enough?"

"It should...it should be almost done."

"Accurate, we must take care of our health even if we are on the job."

Zhou Linyuan came up again after leaving, with a slightly crappy reason. He also took a few days off, but Li Ling did not make any trouble and nodded in agreement with him. Finally, when Li Ling turned his eyes to Lin Qing, the latter's slightly plump body twisted until the three of them went out for something and came up.

"Why, are you sick or have something at home and need to take leave?" Li Ling simply asked without looking up this time.

"No, no. Everything is fine. The young man just thinks that Dian Li, you are too generous to let them take leave like this. They clearly agreed that they want to push all the chores after the New Year to Dian Li for work." Lin Qing reminded in a low voice, "Don't look at us not having too many important things here, but at the beginning of the year there will often be several days of busy work. When eight people were in the house, they were too busy. Now there are only Dian Li and Xiao, so it is even more difficult to get the job done."

Li Ling smiled, "I know, but I think it's not good to deal with the problem sometimes. Without the time to argue, the progress can be faster. If you don't believe it, you can watch it here." While speaking, Li Ling's writing was not stopped, and he was writing something.

"The young one naturally has to obey the arrangements of the Dian official and help the Dian official get the job done." Lin Qing immediately showed his loyalty, but his eyebrows were still a little light. This new Dian official should not think too simple. The errand here is really complicated, and it is not something that can be handled by just knowing the account.

Of course, Li Ling would not explain to him how many tasks he had to do in a large company at the beginning of the year. That was why he was so busy that he had to run around to go to the bathroom. Compared with that, some of the errands in the county government houses are really a bit of a problem.

At the same time, he knew better that Fang Zhiyuan and the other two had to ask for leave at the same time, and wanted to use this trick to force themselves to recognize their position, thereby suppressing, and even abdicating themselves voluntarily. After all, Li Ling had no foundation in the county government, and he did not have the endorsement of the court like Wei Liang, so the people below naturally could not be convinced.

Since this is the case, let yourself first show some means to shock them, and then try to take the entire house in your hands.

While they were talking, the three of them came back one after another, but they each got a set of pens, ink and paper, and then sorted them out one by one, and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Li Ling spoke at this time: "You guys go slowly."

Several people looked at Lin Qing standing beside him and were obviously dissatisfied: "What are the instructions of Dian Li? Did you change your mind and refuse to let us take leave?"

"Of course not. But the yamen has its own rules. Since you have filed a leave, you have to submit it in writing. In this way, I can give the county magistrate an explanation, right?" Li Ling smiled and took out the three fake notes, "You can get one each and sign it on it."

The three of them took the fake note with confusion. They had never encountered such a situation before. However, after carefully looking at the contents above, they didn't realize anything wrong. At the same time, they couldn't think of the profound meaning of Li Ling's actions. So after exchanging glances with each other, they picked up their pens and signed their names.

Li Ling took the three fake notes and his face was filled with a warm smile: "Then you go back, remember to come back in five days."

The three of them always felt something was wrong, but they couldn't think of something wrong, so they finally followed the plan and quickly flicked. Lin Qing was watching it a little dazed, and he really let them leave so easily? Then there were only two people left in the house, but some of them were busy.
