Lin Haoming waved his hand and said: "Shixian Cheng, I am now the parent official of Lishi County, and this is what this county should do!"

"What your lord is saying is that the subordinate is confused and thinks of you as the patrol officer. Please don't blame me, Lord Lin!" Shi Tingjian deliberately laughed at himself.

Lin Haoming also showed a smile and said: "If you have other things, just tell me!"

"Sir, although I know that I shouldn't say this at this time, I really have no choice but to do so. The city guard has been running low on military expenditures for thousands of years. The armor and weapons of the soldiers have long been broken, and they are still damaged.

He owes a lot of military pay. Since Qiu Zhi was captured, everyone has been waiting for the repayment of military pay, but now there is no movement at all, and I, the county captain, can't stand it anymore!" Gan Delu said helplessly at this moment.

"I also know about the withholding of military expenditures. Is there any statistics on the specific amount? What is the matter with the military hall?" Lin Haoming asked directly.

"I'm here!" Nian Kun, the director of the military building, immediately stood up and said.

"Tell me, how much is missing from the specific accounts?" Lin Haoming asked.

"According to the current verification, there are a total of six large battalions of the City Guards in Lishi County, plus two independent small battalions, with a total of 20,000 people. The actual number is more than 15,500 people. The vacancies are empty pay.

, Excluding these, for the remaining soldiers, almost every one of them has been deducted for no less than ten years on average. If all are converted into time crystals, it would be almost 400,000." Nian Kun said.

"Four hundred thousand, haha, it's really not that little!" Lin Haoming's face darkened a little after hearing this.

Before he could say anything else, Nian Kun continued: "Sir, in fact, weapons, armor, etc. also need maintenance and replacement. If you include these, it will cost at least 400,000 yuan!" After saying that, Nian Kun stepped out of his arms.

He took out an account book and said: "It is all calculated by the official, and the official has verified it. The basic situation is indeed true."

Looking at the account book in his hand, Lin Haoming asked someone to pass it over.

After briefly flipping through it, Lin Haoming knew that there shouldn't be any major discrepancies in what was recorded in it, and Nian Kun might have deceived himself. At this moment, he could only sigh and said: "Eight hundred thousand, plus what the county government owes."

The 200,000 yuan is exactly one million. If you have any more, please report them. Anyway, I went to Dishang City to ask for money and I only have to come back once!"

As soon as Lin Haoming finished speaking, another person stood up and said: "Sir, my humble position is Shi Chi, the commander of the Tianmu Division. Last year, during the riots, the people burned down the spiritual fields. Now, to restore the spiritual fields, money is also needed, plus the damage and replacement of farm tools.

, I made statistics from my humble position and found that at least 200,000 hour crystals are needed!"

After Shi Chi finished speaking, he also took out a ledger, handed it to Lin Haoming respectfully, and then returned to his original position.

Lin Haoming also looked through it again. Compared with Nian Kun's, this book has more detailed records. It even clearly states how much damage was done to each acre of land and the extent of the damage. It is obvious that this account book cannot be false, and this

Shi Chi also has some abilities.

After Lin Haoming closed the account book, he looked at everyone and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"Sir, there are two big rivers in Lishi County, Beichuan and Nanchuan. Over the years, due to Qiu Zhi, there have been problems with river management. Thirty-three years ago, the Beichuan River overflowed and the water poured into Beichuan City, killing millions of people.

In the disaster, all the spiritual fields were destroyed, and sowing could not be done for several years. However, most of the funds for river management were later embezzled. If there were another flood like that, I am afraid that not only millions of people would die, but not only

Beichuan River and Nanchuan River are also at risk, and the dams along the river need to be reinforced!" Fang Wenkong, the owner of the workshop, finished speaking and took out a statistical account book.

Next, several more people reported in the same way.

Lin Haoming looked at these people and the account books they handed over. It was absolutely impossible to say that they were not prepared, but there was nothing wrong with what was stated in it. From a certain point of view, they were so conscientious.

.

After these people reported and dispersed, Lin Haoming planned to summon a few of his subordinates who had arrived earlier to ask for details, but Long Xian took the initiative to talk to Lin Haoming.

Long Xian, the Prime Minister of Zuoxian County, can be said to be the second person in Lishi County. If he wanted to talk to him, Lin Haoming would naturally not refuse.

So, Lin Haoming asked a few of his men to wait while he invited Long Xian to the study room of Houya.

Lin Haoming came in for the first time in the study room of Houya. When he arrived yesterday, he only knew the approximate location.

Now that I walked in, I found that this place was quite elegant, but it was slightly smaller than the study room of my patrol officer's office.

"Brother Long, I haven't seen you for many years. I'm so happy that you have advanced to the level of Shenxuan!" After coming in, Lin Haoming greeted Long Xian first.

When Long Xian heard this, he was somewhat flattered and said, "Mr. Lin, you are too polite. Now that we are both in Lishi County, you are the county magistrate and I am the county magistrate. Naturally, I respect you."

Lin Haoming saw that Long Xian was like this. The breeze that he had when he was at Taimiao Lake was completely gone. It was obvious that at the bank of Taimiao Lake, Xu Qianyun defeated several Heavenly Kings of Tianhe Realm, and Gao Fangfang defeated Ji Xingnie and took away the position of East King.

It really shocked him too much. As a disciple of Xu Qianyun, he was naturally equivalent to the status of a prince. Not to mention that he knew very well what happened between him and Gong Xinlan. This was considered normal.

Lin Haoming was also convinced at this time that Long Xian was probably sent to assist him under Gong Xinlan's plan. He simply asked with a smile: "Does Gong Tongpan have anything to tell you to bring to me?"

Lin Haoming asked this question, and as expected, Long Xian immediately smiled and said: "I don't dare, Master Tongpan just told me that some people who followed your orders when I was in Taimiao Hall, it was because of Zhang Xingyuan's order that they caused trouble to you.

…”

"Oh! It turns out to be Zhang Xingyuan. No wonder, when I first entered Taimiao Hall, I did have some conflicts with his son. I didn't expect this man to be so narrow-minded!" Lin Haoming did not let Long Xian continue to apologize. Long Xian's changes were real.

It was so big that he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Master Zhang has been transferred now, and Master Tongpan is not very satisfied with this person!" Long Xian still agreed and continued.

Lin Haoming didn't like to continue like this, so he simply changed the subject and asked: "You came here a while before me, what do you think of this place?"

"Qiu Zhi is excessively greedy, and so are the people he appoints. The entire Lishi County can only be described as miserable!" Long Xian told the truth this time.

"What do you think of what happened in the lobby just now?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.

"Although I came here more than ten days early, I don't know much about it. However, from the places I visited these days, it should be mostly true... It's just that these people were like this when you first arrived, and it was obviously intentional!

"Long Xian said with some hesitation.

Lin Haoming smiled when he saw that he was afraid of saying something wrong after thinking about it for a few times, and said directly: "Actually, you don't have to be shy, they are just giving me a blow!"
