Dedicate the county seat and the county government hall.
Li Baiyi smiled and looked at Gongsun Long in front of him, and said: "You don't need to think about the salary issue for the time being. It will be solved naturally after you recruit people."
"This is what I have to consider, and you just have to do what I ask you to do."
Gongsun Long saw that Li Baiyi was so sure about the salary matter, and after thinking about Li Baiyi's background, he immediately believed it.
Thinking of what Li Baiyi had done before and after, Gongsun Long suddenly looked suspicious: "Sir, do you dare to say that I didn't do this just to be a hand-off shopkeeper?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but glare angrily to cover up his guilty conscience: "What are you talking about? How could I be just to be lazy? You have forgotten what I just said."
"How to deal with the salary of those officials is what I have to do."
"In addition to finding ways to make money, you also have to ask the court for money. This is not an easy task. Can you do it if it's you?"
Gongsun Long quickly shook his head and said respectfully: "What your lord is saying is that there is really nothing that lower officials can do about these matters. It all depends on your best efforts."
Li Baiyi rolled his eyes and said: "You know what my abilities are, Xiaolong, follow my footsteps closely. You will have many opportunities to develop in the future, you know?"
"As long as you perform well in this position of deputy county magistrate, I will tell your majesty that one day you will be able to join the court as an official."
"The premise of all this is that you achieve results, you know?"
Gongsun Long couldn't help but look at Li Baiyi with some confusion. How did this kid's head grow? Does he really think I like eating big cakes?
But on the surface, he still took care of Li Baiyi's face and said with a smile: "What the adults said is that the villain must try his best to do things for the adults."
Li Baiyi saw Gongsun Long's perfunctory attitude at a glance and couldn't help but get angry: "Xiaolong, your attitude is unacceptable. Do you know what it means to stand on the shoulders of giants and pick apples?"
When Gongsun Long heard this, he immediately looked confused. Li Baiyi pointed at himself and said: "I am the giant, and you are the child who stands on the giant's shoulders and picks apples. Do you understand?"
"Originally, you can only pick apples less than one foot high, but if you stand on a hundred-foot-tall giant like me to pick apples, think about it, how high can you pick apples?"
Gongsun Long's eyes were full of confusion, and he seemed to understand a little bit: "Sir, I seem to understand what you said, but I don't seem to understand anything."
"What is an apple? It sounds like a fruit. Are there any fruit trees that can grow a hundred feet high?"
Li Baiyi couldn't help but want to slap him: "You!"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. What you said are just minutiae. You just need to know what I mean."
Gongsun Long quickly raised his hands and said: "I understand what the adults said about the villain. That is to say, with the support of the adults, the villain can achieve achievements that he would not otherwise be able to achieve."
Li Baiyi nodded and said: "By the way, that's what I said. I told you before that we would recruit five hundred people. Remember, you must take an assessment. Only after you pass the assessment can you take office."
"This case is just to evaluate and solve the mystery. The requirements for literacy are not very high, but at least 30% of the personnel must be literate."
"After all, you still have to read the petition. After all, you need someone who is literate."
"These are just the people who will investigate the case. We will also recruit traffic officers later to divert traffic. At the same time, we will give warnings and fines to people who violate traffic rules."
"Also, we need to recruit street sweepers, especially those who defecate everywhere on the road to clean up in time."
The more Gongsun Long listened, the more confused he became: "Sir, what are you doing? Aren't those things normal? It costs a lot to clean up those things. We have to use our money wisely."
Li Baiyi said firmly: "How can this be done? Everyone has to walk on the road every day and can see the road every day."
"If you can't clean the road, you won't even have a good mood every day."
“It’s strange to want to develop the county in this situation.”
In fact, Li Baiyi had a little selfishness here. In the era he lived in, the roads were clean and tidy, at least there wouldn't be so much feces.
This is different in Dakun. There are often such things on the road. Ordinary people who work normally don't care that much. However, dignitaries or rich people come and go in carriages, so naturally they don't notice it.
But Li Baiyi kept this in mind.
"Everyone walking on the road is an ordinary person. Only by keeping the road surface clean can the people feel motivated."
When Gongsun Long heard this, although he didn't understand the meaning of what Li Baiyi said, he was also somewhat infected by Li Baiyi.
"Sir, since you think this matter is so important, I will naturally do my best to handle it."
"As for the required expenses, it depends on whether you can raise enough silver. In short, I can do whatever I want, and do my best."
Li Baiyi laughed and said, "You don't have confidence in my plan, so let's just wait and see."
Gongsun Long nodded and said, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Baiyi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No more at the moment, that's all."
"By the way, you have accepted your position now?"
Gongsun Long nodded and said: "Your Excellency thinks so highly of the subordinate officials, how can the subordinate officials not know how to commend them?"
Li Baiyi was overjoyed and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, you go ahead and go to the Duke's Mansion if you have anything to do, or ask me to send a message. I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
When Gongsun Long heard this, he couldn't help but be confused. The county magistrate had just taken office, was he going to run away?
Looking at the direction he was walking, he turned out to be towards the back of the courtyard. What was going on?
...
In the teahouse, Yelufang said to Liu Yufei with bright eyes: "I didn't expect that a joke that day turned out to be our life-saving straw."
Liu Yufei looked confused and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean, why can't I understand you?"
Yelufang smiled and said: "When the literary fight is over, do you still remember what Li Baiyi said to me?"
Liu Yufei thought for a moment and said, "Although I was present that day, I didn't hear what Li Baiyi said to the princess, but the princess complained to me afterwards."
"Li Baiyi said that he wanted to take the princess as his apprentice, but the princess refused at that time."
At this point, Liu Yufei couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "Your Highness, are you really planning to become his apprentice?"
Yelufang blinked: "Why not?"
