Fang Xiaoyue did not refuse the request to meet. In any case, although Taoyuan Valley is isolated among the mountains, it cannot escape contact with Suping County.
Whether it is salt, cloth or other substances, Taoyuan Valley cannot produce it on its own now.
Fang Xiaoyue walked at the front, followed by a group of strong men.
After practicing sword skills in Taoyuan Valley, going out for hunting, and eating well every day, Zhang Ping'an's young and strong body has become much stronger. Following Fang Xiaoyue, each of them carries a knife and a gun, and they look a bit murderous.
That official was actually the new household official Dian of Suping County.
The so-called household official is the official in the county government who is responsible for household registration, tax collection and other matters.
In addition to the household official code, there are also five official officials, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers. They are all heads of departments under the county magistrate. Under each house there is a group of yamen servants who are responsible for all aspects of the entire county government.
Operation.
Although these officials are not serious officials, their status in the county government is very important. Most of them are passed down from generation to generation. In many cases, they can unite to defeat the newly appointed county magistrate.
No matter how clean your official position is, it will be hard for you to escape from being as slippery as oil. The official in the sentence refers to the six-room official code.
No matter how honest the county magistrate is, it will be difficult for him to get rid of the officials who try to manipulate the county government for personal gain, because in ancient times, whatever the county magistrate wanted to do, he could not do it himself and had to go through these officials.
For example, when it comes to tax collection, it’s impossible for the county magistrate to go door-to-door to collect taxes in person, right?
For example, repairing river embankments, recruiting civilian workers, etc., it is impossible for the county magistrate to do it himself.
At this time, the first-line sky stone wall has been demolished.
There was a good potato harvest before, but if this stone wall is not demolished, it will be too difficult to transport potatoes.
The household official Dian and several government servants were standing in front of the sky.
The household official Dian is a little fat, and his predecessor was killed by the Beiyue Army long ago. This person may be a confidant brought by the county magistrate.
However, looking at his complexion, I can tell that he probably couldn't eat too much in the past, and he was able to grow meat in such a short period of time, which shows that the position of household official is still rich.
Fang Xiaoyue had already arrived in front of the house official, but the group of strong men behind him could not help but feel weak in the legs of the government servants behind him.
Even Hufang Lidian, an official in front of the people, subconsciously took two steps back.
"Bold! Kneel down quickly when you see me!"
Hufang Lidian noticed his cowardice immediately, which made him very angry. Unfortunately, the government servants he brought with him were all newly promoted and had no ancestral skills at all. Otherwise, at this time,
, several government officials should have jumped out to help and threaten.
Of course, this is not a problem for the household official Dian. He can speak for himself or directly intimidate the other party.
But the problem is that in Fang Xiaoyue's world, there is no such thing as kneeling. Everyone is equal. Why are you superior to me and asking me to kneel down?
After descending into many planes, he never knelt down.
Well, it's not that he has an arrogant character and doesn't know how to advance or retreat, but it's just that there is no need to kneel down.
Now, a newly appointed household official actually dares to ask him to kneel down?
This made Fang Xiaoyue think of the commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army. I wonder if this man is living well in the underworld?
Fang Xiaoyue thought about the commander of the Beiyue Army, and the smile on her face fell into the eyes of the house official, who was considered to be looking down upon and contemptuous of herself.
Well, that's actually the case.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't care about a mere household official code. He never thought about being loyal to the imperial power and official authority of Pinggui Kingdom.
Well, if you kneel down and show allegiance to the imperial power and official authority of Pinggui Kingdom, what kind of paradise would you call it?
"The old man has a bone disease in his knees and can't kneel down. Why don't you ask Mr. Li Dian for help?"
Fang Xiaoyue replied with a smile, seemingly not at all irritated by the words of the house official.
But the housekeeper, Dian, felt an inexplicable chill on his back. He had a hunch that if he answered the call like this, the situation might be very bad.
The guy who can serve as the confidant of the new county magistrate is not a fool after all.
So he smiled coquettishly, as if he had never said those words before: "Is this Mr. Zhang Dadao, the village chief of Taoyuan Valley?"
In the blink of an eye, the household official Dian changed from an arrogant and domineering person to a humble gentleman, which really opened Fang Xiaoyue's eyes.
With this ability to be both hard and soft, I'm afraid you can be at home anywhere.
"The little old man is Zhang Dadao. I wonder why this Lord Lidian came to our Taoyuan Valley?"
While Fang Xiaoyue was talking, she was also muttering in her heart, has the situation in Taoyuan Valley been spread to the county government just like this? It seems that there is something wrong in the valley.
Of course, he didn't want to chat too much with this guy and just got straight to the point.
The house official, Dian, first praised the new county magistrate's care for the villagers of Taoyuan Valley, and then said that he came this time to register for a household registration in the valley.
Due to the ravages of the Beiyue bandits in Suping County, the residents of Suping County were destitute and even the household registration documents in the county government were burned. Therefore, the entire county had to be registered in order to facilitate the allocation by the court.
Money and food for disaster relief.
What the household official Dian said was impeccable, which made the villagers behind Fang Xiaoyue burst with joy.
The imperial court actually wants to allocate money and food for disaster relief?
This is a great thing!
There are even some villagers who are thinking about going back at this time, saying that if they don't go back, their fields will be deserted.
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but sigh a little, she was careless.
He didn't expect that the housekeeper Dian was so talkative.
He would never believe the words about the imperial court allocating money and food for disaster relief.
When he went to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army, he saw along the way that almost half of the Pinggui Kingdom had been affected by the war and was desolate everywhere, with the most tragic situation near the capital of the Pinggui Kingdom.
Fang Xiaoyue believes that the imperial court has allocated money and food for disaster relief, but this money and food will probably be given priority to counties near the capital. For places like Suping County that are close to Beiyue Kingdom, let alone allocating money and food, it is a blessing that it has not been collected again.
.
The big bosses of Pinggui Country are not stupid. Although they have driven out the Beiyue Army, places like Suping County are still under the threat of the Beiyue Army's front.
If we allocate money and food for disaster relief, doesn't that mean we are sending food to the Beiyue Army?
Besides, after this war, how much food Pinggui can still afford is a question.
According to Zhang Dadao's memory, there has never been any disaster relief incident in Pinggui country.
But the problem is that the villagers in Taoyuan Valley believed it.
Trouble is coming!
In view of the mentality of the villagers in Taoyuan Valley, Fang Xiaoyue did not directly conflict with the house official, but just used a Tai Chi push hand to drag things out.
