Li Baiyi couldn't help but be very curious about this matter.
"These people are not here to do anything, so what are they here to do? Why are they so curious?"
Li Baiyi said with some surprise.
It was a surprise to him that there were more than thirty people left. He didn't expect there were other reasons.
"The reason why these people stay is because they are all candidates from out of town, and everyone is short of money."
"If they stay in the county government to work, at least they can be given money to live temporarily and have a place to live."
"If they leave the county government, none of these things will satisfy them."
Li Baiyi nodded, he finally understood why this happened.
"Are these thirty or so people enough? From what I see, the development of your county seems to be not going well."
Gongsun Long smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, sir, the development momentum of the entire county has slowed down now."
“Without so many people managing it, many of adults’ ideas would be difficult to realize.”
"And due to some practical reasons, some cases cannot be pushed forward, which makes people feel embarrassed."
Li Baiyi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "What real reason, it makes me happy to tell you."
Gongsun Long thought for a while and said: "Sir, although the idea we formulated before is very good, it may not be possible to implement it like that."
"Think about it, if we are facing ordinary people, that's it. After all, those people have no power to resist. Even if we want to deal with them, there is nothing we can do?"
"But if the other party is a small family, they may resist our ruling."
"The power of a small family may not be enough, but if the other party is a big family, then they will have greater power."
"The power of a large family like ours is still very strong, and we cannot compete with it at all."
Speaking of this, Gongsun Long couldn't help but shook his head, with a sigh on his face.
"Many cases are blocked by those big families, so they cannot be implemented at all and can only be stopped briefly."
"Now there are many people who have left because of those big families. If it hadn't been for them, maybe these people would have stayed."
Li Baiyi nodded, of course he could understand the purpose of what Gongsun Long said.
"I understand this, but this is something that exists objectively. We can't just ignore it just because of this, are you right?"
"The entire county must continue to operate, so the forces of the so-called big families must be suppressed."
Li Baiyi's words were eloquent, but to Gongsun Long's ears, they were astonishing.
How can this be suppressed? Those forces are very well-connected. Because they are very close to the capital, their connections can even reach the sky.
If it weren't for this, Gongsun Long's power to act as county magistrate would not be so constrained.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Long couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Gongsun Long's attitude, Li Baiyi knew that this boy must have something on his mind.
"You old boy, don't play silent with me here. Just say what you want to say. What's going on?"
"If anyone is blocking you, tell me."
Gongsun Long nodded and said with a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, sir, I made you angry."
"There is indeed such a person as Zhang Yuanwai. He relies on his strong background and doesn't pay attention to our county government at all."
"Their family members were arrogant and domineering and had conflicts with others. We came to persuade them and wanted to reconcile them."
"But they didn't agree at all. Instead, they were arrogant towards our county government personnel."
"Because of their family, three people from our county government have left, and the people who are trying to persuade them now may also leave."
Gongsun Long was speechless when he said this. What is this?
If it were an ordinary family, no one would be polite when meeting people from the county government.
But Zhang Yuanwai's family is so arrogant, almost arrogant.
Li Baiyi nodded and said with a sneer: "To be able to face such arrogance from the people of the county government, there must be a background. Let's not talk about this matter for now, is there anyone else?"
Gongsun Long nodded and said: "Of course there are other families. Zhang Yuanwai is just the most typical one, and the force behind it is also the strongest."
"Others are similar to their family, because they are arrogant and domineering and have conflicts with others."
"Our county government officials also wanted to persuade them to make peace, but they didn't agree. Not only did they not agree, they also beat the other party in the conflict."
"This way our people can't sit idly by and do nothing. They have to arrest people, but they still have guards at home."
"There is a stalemate between the two sides and we cannot use our people because there are not enough people and we cannot use force."
"After all, it's not just this family we need to deal with, there are many other families we need to solve problems."
"In order to handle more problems with less trouble, we can only solve the small things first and solve the problems of ordinary people and small families."
"As for the affairs of these big families and those thorny issues, we can't take care of them for the time being."
"Otherwise, if we have to figure out the reason, people from those big families may even join together to oppose our county government."
"This is definitely a very big threat to our county government, so I don't think we should wait and see."
Li Baiyi nodded, rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know this matter is not simple."
"But do you have any solution? You can't just complain to me and be done with it."
Gongsun Long smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Sir, I also want to have a solution, but no matter what problem you want to solve, you always need enough manpower."
"I can't even recruit enough people now. How can I solve such a difficult problem?"
"And those capable people basically know the details of our county. Who dares to take a trip into this muddy water."
"Basically few of the counties around the capital can handle it well. They are all a mess."
Hearing this, Li Baiyi couldn't help but nodded. This old guy Gongsun's description was quite good.
"It seems that I have to personally take action to solve this problem, right?"
Gongsun Long smiled awkwardly, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Sir, if you want to suppress these big families, you must have a strong background."
