It is said that there are three stakes for a fence, three stakes for a hero, three gangs for a hero, and one emperor, and one minister. Su Zhiyuan also has a group of county magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks and others who are following him to do business.

The difference is that they are all old people. In fact, the county magistrate is not very old, but the age of being an official can be considered an old person.

Su Zhiyuan was young, but he had no scholarly spirit or a scholarly airs. He didn't want other officials to handle official duties in the county government, but went out to run around. He always felt that it was not like what a county magistrate should do.

The chief clerk and the county magistrate are all older people. Although Su Zhiyuan is a county magistrate, sometimes they still look old-fashioned in front of them, which makes Su Zhiyuan very unhappy. Su Zhiyuan decided to show his authority and let people know his domineeringness.

The county is very complicated, there are many messy things, and there are many things that are not worthy of being promoted to the church at all. Anyway, Su Zhiyuan is in charge of what happens in the county. In fact, the most important thing for the above is tax collection. Every once in a while, the governor will come to inspect the work situation. It is no problem to have delicious food and drinks.

Generally speaking, sometimes people will send notifications for things like conscription. The only one who maintains public order is the yamen runners of the county corps. In fact, the county corpses also have a group of people who specialize in maintaining public order. However, they do not stay in the yamen. If there is not enough manpower, they will also draw the prison guards out.

When it comes to collecting taxes, no matter what you do, you can collect taxes, and there are detailed records in the official document book.

But as a county magistrate, he has an account book. Besides, the county magistrate does not collect taxes from door to door like a water charger. They are collected by the people below. Su Zhiyuan can say that as long as he is willing, he can live a comfortable life and nothing has to be done.

But who is Su Zhiyuan? He is a person who likes to make trouble from the future to the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, deep down, Su Zhiyuan is not a very honest person, but the taxes collected are problematic. He can't stand the people behind him's backs and are stupid.

What does this mean? It means that the people below do not take him as a county magistrate seriously.

Anyone who is an official doesn't find a way to get some money, even the yamen runs a lot more leisurely. Originally, Su Zhiyuan thought that the people below would come over to pay the benefits and would deliberately respect him. Unexpectedly, they were eating alone outside and forgot him completely. There were hundreds of taels of silver on the tax account book, but Su Zhiyuan, as the county magistrate, did not see a tael.

Hua Wushang was his accountant, but after she checked the money, she put it in the warehouse. The key to the warehouse was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. After Su Zhiyuan came, he never thought that he had mentioned this matter.

This Lin'an County Magistrate is considered the second-in-command of the county government, but Su Zhiyuan has been in his house. It can be said that if Lin'an County Magistrate is considered the first, he will be the second. This is just a house and no other things are counted.

There is so much water in the small counties, and I don’t know how deep it is. What is certain is that they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Although they can’t see anything on the surface, they may just be just watching.

Su Zhiyuan came from Hangzhou, not far away, so it was actually not difficult to inquire about his news. Su Zhiyuan was easily touched clearly, but he didn't know what these people under him were thinking.

The initial road digging project was almost done, and the initial village had already been completed, but the encouragement of opening a bathhouse was ineffective.

Lying in the bathtub of his own, with the redwoods added hot water through the bamboo tube outside, Su Zhiyuan was very comfortable, thinking that the outside world's views on the yamen were very bad, and he should not come in without money, or anything else, but he should change this trend and establish a new image of the Qingtian yamen. The people below actually dispersed their rights and obscured a lot of his rights, and they also did a lot of corruption in money. I guess there were many stains on it. It seemed that he should investigate. Anyway, these people could not go with him. If Su Zhiyuan wanted to confirm the county magistrate and hold them all in his own hands, he must be a group of people with the same heart as him.

After thinking for a long time, Su Zhiyuan felt that he should go straight to the point. In fact, he was just a mediocre person who disturbed himself. After all, he was the best at his official position. Who dared to turn against him on the surface? Besides, there were such a group of people around him. Although they were all women, there were also some who could fight and talented people. Why didn’t he worry about not being able to disturb these people?

I will take all those powers back tomorrow!!!

"Mr.com, give me the keys of the county banknote and all the tax account books."

The county magistrate was stunned by this sudden order.

"Sir, why did you suddenly want this? I didn't bring it with you?"

"Oh? Then go back and get it right away. From today on, I will keep the keys of the county banknote by myself."

"Yes, sir!"

"County lieutenant, I want the roster of prisoners in the prison. I have had any cases in the past. Take the file and let me see it. I cannot let go of unjust, false and wrong cases."

The county magistrate didn't know why Su Zhiyuan suddenly wanted to see these things, but the unquestionable tone made him have to agree and do what he did.

He continued to call the yamen runners over and said to Xiaoju: "From now on, you must listen to her. She is now the constable here."

The yamen runners were all confused, and Xiaoju was also confused.

"Why did you let me be a constable? If I don't do it, I have to follow you." Xiaoju stared at him fiercely, thinking that Su Zhiyuan was playing tricks to divert her attention.

"Who stipulates that you can't follow me if you become a constable. Not only can you follow me, but I will let you experience the feeling of being an official too. How about it? Isn't that good?"

Xiaoju thought about it this way and thought it was quite good. Anyway, she had never been a constable before. Since it did not affect what she was doing now, she might be able to be promoted to a higher position in the future. It would be even better if Sister Wushuang met her, she would probably be very happy.

"You said you like following me so much, do you like me? If you like looking at me so much, I will let you see death. Can you?"

Xiaoju snorted coldly: "You turned me into a constable, don't you just want me to help you? Don't worry, if the superiors ask me to help you, I will naturally not stand by."

After taking the previous file, he turned around and gave it to Hua Wushang for storage.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to keep the keys of this warehouse for the accountant to keep?"

Su Zhiyuan slapped the table: "Do you still need to teach me how I do things?"

The county magistrate's mouth trembled: "I dare not." His face turned pale.

"You all go and do your own business. I will call you if I have something to do."

It was not easy to disperse this group of people and check the past case files and the previous tax collection books in the warehouse. Su Zhiyuan, Hua Wushang and others were busy reading it. They had not left the county government gate for several days, and even the food was prepared by Sequoia every time.

Taxation is actually about taking out some of the money you spend in the tax bank you handed over to, and there are some fake accounts in the account book. As long as you calculate the number of shops and farmland in Lin'an, many places of this account will be exposed. The premise is to be familiar with the environment here in Lin'an, so Su Zhiyuan was too busy to be busy and also asked a accountant to help him.

Needless to say, taxes are needed, you will know that there is a problem when you are halfway through the investigation. Who knows whether these cases in Lin'an have been wronged? If there is no trace of them in the past for a long time, it would be fine. But in his spare time, Su Zhiyuan went to the prison and imprisoned many people. Although no one called for wronged, he always felt that there was something tricky inside.

The three county magistrates and chief clerks were sitting quietly in the private room outside restaurants at this time. This was a point where they often gathered here. Today, Su Zhiyuan took a lot of their things on hand, and they felt a little panicked, but their years of experience of being domineering in Lin'an told them that the new county magistrate could not do anything to them.

When the old county magistrate was there, they would collect money in various ways. The old county magistrate could only turn a blind eye. Once they were removed and no one worked, Lin'an would be in chaos. What's more, the people in the county jail, the yamen runners, and the local geniuses in various places were promoted by them, or they were also people who had something to do with them. If the county magistrate investigated their affairs, they would find someone to secretly stumbling over the county magistrate, and some even went to the prefect of the city to sue the county magistrate, so that he could not afford to take it.

I have to say that the officialdom is really a very strange field of knowledge. Some officials who cannot suppress their subordinates are, not to mention the emperor who cannot suppress their ministers. I think the county magistrate is just a microcosm, which is normal.

However, things like Guanwei have to be cultivated since they were small officials. Without official power, people cannot be suppressed. If they reach the status of a high official, they have no official power, they can only become puppets at the mercy of others.

Su Zhiyuan realized this, so he had to cultivate his official power instead of just pretending to be x.
