Two days later.

All the grain chiefs and district chiefs in Wanping County were aware of Guo An's plan.

Suddenly, all the grain chiefs and li chiefs' faces were red with excitement, and their beards stood straight up.

At the same time, summon the elders from various armor rooms.

After the old men understood the plan of the little county magistrate, they began to summon the young men from various armors.

In the end, things were simple.

After the heads of each family returned home, they simply gave instructions.

No matter how confused they were, the women from each family still kept this matter in their hearts.

So, five days later.

Complaints began to spread throughout Wanping County. Any merchant or hawker in Wanping County would hear complaints.

For example, there is not enough food at home, and there is no energy to cultivate wasteland... Or, the wasteland is overgrown with weeds and densely covered with jungle, and one acre of land cannot be cultivated in a month... Furthermore, there is no iron tools at home, and the land is hard... …

Anyway, it was just all kinds of complaints about the difficulties of cultivating the fields.

After a few days, all the merchants with ulterior motives were satisfied and left Beiping Mansion with glowing faces and happily headed south.

However, Nie Zishi, Zhu Di and others, who had been paying attention to the reclamation of wasteland in Wanping County, were a little anxious.

Naturally.

Guo An was invited to Nie Mansion again!

"In the past few days, can you go down to each Lijia to see for yourself how the reclamation of wasteland is going?"

As soon as Guo An sat down, Nie Zishi asked directly.

"Back to uncle, Guo An went down for inspection. There were complaints from every village, and many people were even scolding me!" Guo An replied slowly.

"Hmph, then why are you still so calm? Could it be that you think that because of the bet with His Highness King Yan, the Inspector and the Inspector will not do anything to you?" Nie Zizhi looked furious!

"Uncle, don't worry, these things are all planned between me and the people in Lijia!"

With that said, Guo An quickly explained the whole story to Nie Zishi.

"What a cunning boy..."

Nie Zizhi smiled and cursed, now he was relieved!



Prince Yan's Mansion.

Under Zhu Di's instructions, Li Wang and Zhu Liang personally took people down to the entire Wanping County, and then walked into the palace with angry faces.

"How?" Zhu Di asked eagerly.

Li Wang and Zhu Liang quickly handed over their hands and reported: "Reporting to Your Highness, the entire Wanping County, and even the people in Wanping County on the streets outside, are full of complaints. There is no common person who does not complain about the difficulty of reclaiming wasteland! "

"There are even some people who are scolding the magistrate of Wanping County!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard Guo An has failed more than accomplished anything. In just a few days, he dared to cause public resentment over a matter of reclaiming wasteland!"

"You will quickly go and capture Guo An and bring him to the palace. If this bastard doesn't give me an explanation, I will chop him up and feed him to the dogs without waiting for my father to issue an order to punish him!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Wang and Zhu Liang responded, turned around and left.

Seeing this, the great monk Dao Yan on the side frowned slightly, but did not say anything to stop him.

And in Wanping County Government Office.

Guo An was sitting upright in his official chair, frowning after reading the account book in his hand, and couldn't help but look angry.

"In just one mile, one hundred and ten households lacked a hundred iron bars, a hundred iron shovels, and a hundred iron axes...

The entire Wanping County is short of more than 10,000 iron hammers, shovels, and axes each. Even iron plows, orange peels, and waterwheels are listed. Are you going to Yanwang Palace to purchase them? "

In the hall, Ning Deyou, Qinong and others all had flattering smiles on their faces.

"My lord, the county, forgive me. I have already reprimanded the villagers for this matter, or else there will be more?"

Hearing this, Guo An cursed angrily, "Don't you think His Highness King Yan is a big dog? It's not sure whether His Highness King Yan can handle so many iron tools!"

Even if they can get it, they may not give it to the people of Wanping County for free! "

"Don't worry, your Majesty, we will save the money and we will definitely not embarrass the County Majesty!"

Ning De replied honestly.

"This is not going to embarrass me. Let's take a look at what you cunning people wrote in the account book..." Guo An pointed to the account book in his hand with an angry look on his face.

There is a feeling that after digging a hole for a long time, you suddenly realize that you are about to bury yourself.

Ning Deyou and Qinong lowered their heads with sarcastic smiles on their faces.

After a few days of getting along, they both discovered that they were lucky. The little county magistrate in front of them, although young, is enough to be their nephew.

However, there is endless talent in the belly, and strange words often come out.

The most important thing is that this little county official is the kindest official they have ever encountered in their lives, and his character is as good as a sage!

However, in the past few days, I have come into contact with many elders in various villages, and I have actually learned some vulgar curse words!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the door.

Guo An, Ning Deyou and others turned their heads subconsciously and couldn't help but tense up.

The door of the public house where they were located was kicked open by several burly soldiers, and at the same time a group of soldiers came in with a crash.

It was under the orders of Zhu Di that Li Wang, Zhu Liang and other guards from the Yan Palace came to arrest Guo An!

"Guo An, Magistrate of Wanping County?"

"It's me, who are you?" Guo An asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You don't know me?"

Li Wang looked at Guo An and smiled contemptuously, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but His Highness King Yan has ordered me to take you for questioning!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

The guards on the left and right came up directly and dragged Guo An out of the official chair.

"Two generals, don't you know what I have committed?"

Guo An asked hurriedly.

"Humph, it will become clear when you get in front of His Highness Prince Yan!"

Li Wang snorted coldly, walked up to the table, picked up the account book that Guo An just held, took a look at it, and once again glanced coldly at the number of people in Ningde below, and then they went straight out.

Outside the house, all the officials from the third class of the county government also knew the guards from the Yan Palace next door, so they did not dare to step forward to stop them.

Guo Erniu, on the other hand, was held tightly by a group of government officials, preventing him from moving at all.

It wasn't until Li Wang and other Yan Palace guards took Guo An out of the Wanping County Yamen, and Ning Deyou, Qinong and others were in the public house that they came to their senses, their faces full of panic.

"Everyone, His Highness King Yan must have misunderstood the county magistrate. What should we do now?"

"For the current plan, we can only inform the grain chiefs and li chiefs of each Jia li to go to His Highness King Yan to intercede?"

"Yes, yes, this time the county minister tricked himself!"

"well……"



Guo An had already figured out why he was arrested after he was taken out of the Wanping County Yamen by King Yan's guards.

Therefore, Guo An was ruined.

As long as Zhu Laosi doesn't chop off his head, he can defend himself.

Wanping County Yamen is only two squares away from Prince Yan's Mansion.

In less than half an hour, Guo An was escorted to kneel in front of Zhu Di.
