No matter how distressed the old people were, or how worried Ning Deyou, Qinong and others were, Guo An still went to Ning Daguang's house and checked the farm tools one by one.
They chose to turn a blind eye to the relatively wealthy situation of Ning Daguang and others' families!
At the same time, it took another half a day to understand the basic situation of Jiali where Ning Daguang, Wang Shilai and others were located.
After that, Guo An took the worried Ning Deyou, Qinong and others back to the county government.
After rushing to the evening hall, Guo An left the office on time.
After Guo An left, the six-room clerk, the third-shift leader, and the patrol inspector in Wanping County Yamen gathered together.
"Ding Hufang, what did the county magistrate and you guys do today when we took the yellow book and the fish scale book out of the city?"
"Inspect the household registration of the fields one by one, look at the farm tools used to cultivate the land, and then ask about the conditions of each household..." Ding Deyou said with a helpless look.
"What is the county magistrate doing?"
"Yes, King Yan just ordered me to wait for the states and counties in Beiping Prefecture to reclaim 10,000 hectares of fields. As a dignified county magistrate, this man didn't care about such a big thing. He actually stooped down and condescended to ask about the situation of some households in Jiahu. What good can it be used for?"
"Ding Hufang, you are the one who has the most communication with Mr. Guo County in the whole yamen. Do you know what Mr. Guo County has planned?"
Ding Deyou smiled bitterly, "Ding is ashamed. I was almost paralyzed from exhaustion during this journey. I didn't even have the time to think about what the county magistrate wanted to do. Maybe only he knows!"
"Hey, does this county magistrate want to thoroughly investigate the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book?"
Suddenly, Qinong, the clerk in the workshop next to him, seemed to notice something and looked surprised.
"What, a thorough investigation of the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book?"
Suddenly, the expressions of all the scribes changed drastically, and their eyes were full of worry. They quickly looked around and gathered together again.
"Is it possible that this county magistrate heard something when he was in charge last year?"
"It's absolutely impossible. Last year, no official in the county government got close to this boss!"
"So this county magistrate wants to establish his power through a thorough investigation of the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book?"
"This is not right. I heard that this county magistrate seems to be from a wealthy squire family. He should be aware of the intrigue between these yellow books and fish scale books. Moreover, he has just been promoted to the county magistrate and has no confidant foundation. How dare he do this? Break up with us?"
"What does this county magistrate mean?"
"Are you warning me to wait?"
"It's quite possible..."
"..."
No matter how many officials in the county government speculate and discuss, the entire Wanping County government office has not yet filled up its county magistrates and governors. They are all a group of officials, and he is the only official.
Every day, Guo An took different officials out of the city to inspect various areas.
Afterwards, in the fields of Goljiagoli, chatting with the li chiefs, Jia chiefs and grain chiefs who came over, it felt a little leisurely!
After half a month, Guo An already had a general understanding of the entire Wanping County.
Similarly, all the district chiefs, Jia chiefs, and grain chiefs under the jurisdiction of Wanping County also had a vague impression of Guo An, the newly appointed magistrate.
However, many people still don't understand Guo An's actions.
Yanwang Palace.
After listening to Li Wang's report again, Zhu Di had a dark look on his face.
"It's been half a month, and Guo An is still wandering around in various places under the jurisdiction of Wanping County, ignoring the ten thousand hectares of farmland requested by me. Does he still want to be the county magistrate?"
"Your Highness, it is indeed abominable that Guo An dares to ignore His Highness's orders. I will bring someone here to fetch Guo An and let him give His Highness an explanation!"
Li Wang handed over his hand and asked for the tassel.
Zhu Di glared at Li Wang below, then looked at the great monk on the side, "I wonder if Master can guess what Guo An wants to do so much?"
Hearing this, Dao Yan frowned slightly and subconsciously stroked his beard. After thinking for a moment, he held his hand towards Zhu Di.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the monk guessed that the magistrate of Guo County should be doing this to know all the officials in Wanping County. As for the fact that there has been no movement for so long, it should be to wait for the imperial court to fill up all the official positions in Wanping County. !”
"The officials in Wanping County haven't been filled yet?" Zhu Di turned to look at Li Wang below.
Li Wang quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, not only the county magistrates and governors of Wanping County Yamen have not been filled, but even some magistrates of Daxing County, Miyun County, Huairou County, Tongzhou and other prefectures and counties have not been filled." together!"
"What do the officials do? It's been so long, why can't we even fill the ranks of people-friendly officials in these prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture?" Zhu Di was furious.
Li Wang hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Your Highness, I heard that it seems that because of the Guo Huan case not long ago, many members and officials felt that the court was unfair and innocent people were killed indiscriminately. Others were afraid of becoming officials. .
Therefore, after so many days, not only the official vacancies in Beiping Prefecture have not been filled, but even many official positions in the capital have not been filled! "
Zhu Di's expression became even more furious, "How brave are they to be dissatisfied with my father?"
"Amitabha!"
On the side, the great monk Daoyan could not help but close his eyes and chant the name of the Buddha in a low voice!
"Humph, no matter what other places are like, Beiping Mansion is not only my vassal state, but also shoulders the important task of fighting the Northern Yuan Tatars and supplying hundreds of thousands of Northern troops, so there can be no delay.
Tomorrow, Zhu Xiangguo once again conveys the king's order to the Chief Envoy of Beiping. No matter what, the magistrates of the prefecture and counties in Beiping Prefecture must be replenished within one month. "Zhu Di said coldly.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhu Fu responded hurriedly.
…
at the same time.
Throughout the Beiping Mansion, rumors spread that many students were unwilling to be officials and officials were unwilling to be promoted.
On this day, Guo An took Guo Erniu to the county government office. Ning Deyou, Qinong and other six-room clerks were already waiting.
Although they didn't understand why Guo County Lord was so self-inflicted and ran out of the city every day regardless of wind and rain. However, over time, they all fell in love with the behavior of Guo Xianzun.
The county magistrate only cares about running away every day and does not interfere with the government affairs of the county government for several days in a row.
So as long as the county official leaves the city, the entire county government will be completely up to them.
However, what puzzled all the officials in the county government was that after the county magistrate finished his meal early in the morning, he had no intention of calling them Liu Fang out of the city.
Before any of the six clerks came forward to ask, they heard words that were both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar to them.
"Today, ascend to the throne!"
"Shengtang?"
All the officials were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were filled with astonishment.
Then, when he remembered something, he was shocked.
All magistrates of counties and prefectures in the Ming Dynasty were basically promoted to morning, noon and evening classes. This was the main job of magistrates of counties and prefectures in the Ming Dynasty.
The morning hall is from Mao hour to Chen hour. At this time, all the grain chiefs, li chiefs, and armor chiefs under the rule must stand on both sides of the corridor in order of their status, and report matters to the county magistrate and prefecture magistrate.
In the middle hall, from noon to noon, it is mainly for the magistrates and magistrates to inquire about lawsuits and conduct official business!
In the evening hall, from Shen Shi to You Shi, the magistrates of prefectures and counties still clean up lawsuits, interrogate prisoners, and then summarize the day's official duties. After the completion of the work, they can beat the drums to disperse!
However, since Guo An took office as the county magistrate, after finishing the Mao order every day, he would take the six-room clerk to wander around the Jiali countryside and would not go to court at all.
Therefore, under Guo An's influence, the Jia chief, li chief, and grain chief these days were all used to waiting for the Guo magistrate in their fields!
…
