Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight new officials took office three fires
Liang family.
In the backyard, the head of the Liang family and the head of the Huang family, Huang Meiliao, sat opposite each other.
On the table are two steaming cups of tea.
Liang Kai picked up the cup, took a sip, and said: "Brother Huang, there is news from the county government that the newly recruited officials have not received their salary for several days. Huh, it's one hundred yuan a day. I heard that the county government
The government has recruited more than 80 people this time, and the daily salary alone is nearly nine guan, plus food and drink and other expenses. Added together, the county government's coffers are already empty. As a result, it will not be able to support it for long...
I am afraid that the 120,000 yuan donated by us will soon be used for personal use..."
When Huang Meili heard this, he immediately said unhappy: "This is really unreasonable. I donated a full ten thousand yuan at the beginning, and I promised that the money would be used to repair the city wall, but now it seems that there has been no progress in the repair of the city wall.
I'm surprised. I didn't expect that Du He had this idea. No, we must unite and go to Du He to ask for an explanation. If he doesn't give us an explanation, the matter will not be over."
Liang Kai smiled happily: "Brother Huang, to tell you the truth, I have placed three of the newly recruited officials in the county government, and they are all looking at Du He. As long as Du He dares to touch the money, we will
The nobles can gather together and ask Du He for an explanation. They can even spread the matter. On the one hand, Du He will be ruined, and on the other hand, the court will know. Du He will be taken away as soon as possible. This broom star will be beaten by himself.
When he came to Hu County, people became panicked and life was difficult for everyone!"
Since Du He came to Hu County, these nobles have discovered that things are completely different from when Qiu Wanjia was here.
In the past, the gentry only needed to bribe Qiu Wanjia, and they could do whatever they wanted in Huxian County, but now, Du He didn't buy it at all, and the county government officials were all from Chang'an, and they would arrest people if they disagreed.
To save face, life for this group of nobles became increasingly difficult.
Huang Meili slapped the table: "Brother Liang, what a great idea. To be honest, I have also placed a son of the Huang family in the county government. Du He has no money now and is desperate. He will definitely use the donation. As long as he
If he dares to take action, this is our opportunity!"
After saying that, a cold light flashed in the guy's eyes.
Immediately, the two raised their heads and looked at each other with a smile.
At this moment, I saw a boy running in hurriedly, saying in a loud voice: "Master, it's not good... Just now, someone from the county government sent news that the county government suddenly became rich."
Liang Kai and Huang Meili's expressions changed greatly, and they asked in unison: "Where does the county government get its money?"
"I heard that it was borrowed from Wudi Bank, a total of two million guan. Even the loan agreement has been written and signed by the county magistrate Du He personally. The first batch of money, totaling 500,000 guan, has been sent
When we arrived at the county government office, the money warehouse of the county government office could not hold it anymore and was piled up in the yard. Many people saw it. Box after box of Kaiyuan Tongbao was all money..." The boy was dancing as he said it.
, very excited, as if he had gotten so much money.
Have money?
Huang Meili and Liang Kai were both dumbfounded.
The two of them had been planning in the backyard all morning. They drank more than ten cups of tea and were just waiting for lunch. They were even gearing up to deal with Du He, but they didn't know that such news suddenly came.
"What kind of scheme is this Invincible Bank? Why are you so wealthy that you took out two million yuan at once?" Huang Meili asked in surprise.
Liang Kai shook his head: "I have never heard of it before, Wudi Bank, Wudi..."
Not much time.
The news that the county government of Huxian County borrowed two million yuan from Wudi Bank spread throughout the whole process.
Everyone in the streets and alleys began to talk about it.
Some say yes, some say yes.
Some people are happy, while others are worried.
All this has nothing to do with Du He.
…
County government.
Office center.
The people from Wudi Bank have left, leaving behind half a million dollars and a bunch of agreements.
There are loan agreements, repayment agreements, mortgage agreements, etc., which are dizzying to see.
But one thing is true, that is, everyone here knows that the taxes paid by Hu County for the past twenty years belong to Wudi Bank, and they may not even be able to repay them. The mortgaged items, in addition to the taxes from Hu County, also belong to Hu County.
Although Qiu Wanjia died innocently and sold a large amount of land to the nobles, there are still tens of thousands of acres of land belonging to the officials in Hu County to the south of the county seat.
Another point is that this invincible bank that suddenly appeared was established by the Dream Group.
Everyone present was a little surprised.
Many people wanted to object, but they all shut up when they saw the men from the city management team standing in the corner of the conference room, who were looking at him eagerly, and the murderous King of Shu, Li Ke.
Du He glanced around and said: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Hu County is a mess. Without money, nothing can be done. Now, I have got two million strings. You can use them with confidence and boldness. As the saying goes
It is said that the new official has three things to do when he takes office, and I also have three things to do!"
ah?
Everyone was stunned.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there are three things to do when a new official takes office.
However, this is not a compliment.
It means that whenever a new official comes to a place, he will definitely cause trouble, either for the people or for the officialdom.
In short, everyone will not have a good life.
Now that they heard that Du He was going to bring three fires, many people's expressions changed.
But I heard Du He say calmly: "These three fires are easy to say... The first fire is to build a road. I will lead the people of Hu County to build a road to connect to Chang'an City. From now on, I will go to Chang'an.
The journey is not far, but because the official road is in disrepair, it will take a whole morning. If a smooth road is opened, the journey from Hu County to Chang'an by horse-drawn carriage will only take half an hour at most..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone has one thought in their mind: Impossible!
Du He, this is a waste of money and people!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, Du He, you are lying..."
In the corner, someone suddenly exclaimed.
Swish.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person speaking was none other than the well-known county magistrate Dai Jinyun.
Du He's face turned cold, "I am giving orders, whoever is making noise, come, drag him out and hang him up!"
Li Ke glanced at Dai Jinyun with disgust: "You bitch, how dare you disobey the teacher? Where is the city management team and you haven't taken him away yet."
The two Guancheng officers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and took away the yelling Dai Jinyun one from the left and the other from the right.
Seeing that someone else wanted to speak, Li Ke slapped the table and said: "You guys, whoever dares to oppose my teacher is opposing me. Don't blame me for being rude then!"
Everyone was silent and looked at Li Ke sadly.
You are His Highness the King of Shu, and you have become Du He's lackey?
