This is the case with many things in this world. Instead of going around the bush and going through all the troubles, it is better to be straightforward.

Li Sanjian made his identity straightforward, and immediately made everyone in Hui'an County bow their heads.

Quanzhou is a remote place, thousands of miles away from the capital. The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The court is far away from Quanzhou. Then the magistrate of Quanzhou is almost like a local emperor. Therefore, the people in Hui'an County have to bow their heads.

"Meng County Magistrate is in the county town of Hui'an County." Li Sanjian, the new Quanzhou magistrate, asked, and the official Hong had to answer according to the truth.

Hong Daguanren is called Daguanren. In fact, he is a clerk and a township official in Hui'an County, with his surname Hong'an.

The so-called township department was one of the duties of the Song Dynasty, also known as township clerks, township clerks, township officials, etc. In the early Song Dynasty, the township department did not obtain the status of county and township tax chiefs. Its main responsibility was to assist Li Zheng and household chiefs to supervise taxes.

Later, the status of the township department gradually increased, from a township service to a county service, and undertook the taxes of Song County and Township, and eventually became the general tax manager of the county and township who had the power to monopolize.

The township position is not high, but the power in hand is not small. It is in charge of taxes, taxation, promotion of second-tax registration, tax collection, tax cessation, tax supervision, etc., which can be said to be powerful among counties and townships.

Zhong Lizheng is also responsible for urging taxes, but he has to look at Hong Ba's expression on weekdays.

"So, is it because you are arbitrarily doing something like collecting autumn taxes?" Li Sanjian then lowered his face and asked Hong Ba.

"I don't dare!" Hong Ba replied in panic when he heard this: "It is indeed the order of the magistrate of Meng County."

"Why should we pay autumn taxes in advance?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"Meng County Magistrate said that this is a 'pre-borrow loan', for... For...Meng County Magistrate has long learned that Li Fuzun was about to pass by Hui'an County, to offer Li Fuzun a 'official respect'..." Hong Ba stammered.

"Official respect? I am the one?" Li Sanjian was so angry that he heard this, and he was so amazed and laughed.

After asking for a long time, the last thing was blamed on me?

It was just looking for various excuses and exploiting the people. Li Sanjian then thought of it.

If Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, was like this, then he might have to be removed from his position as county magistrate. Li Sanjian said in his heart that such an official who harms the people cannot continue to be allowed to remain in office.

You should know that Li Sanjian, who was about to take office in Quanzhou at this time, was holding the "Shangfang Sword". Li Sanjian had requested an imperial edict to appoint and remove officials at all levels from Quanzhou. He only needed to report to the court afterwards.

"It's really outrageous." Li Sanjian then asked: "It's also Meng Guangxi's fate that extra money is also the fate of Meng Guangxi?"

"This..." Hong Ba suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, and at the same time he looked at Zhong Lizheng, who was pale next to him.

"What's this and that?" Li Sanjian lowered his face and said angrily: "At this point, do you still want to hide it? Do you really think this official can't handle you?"

"Master, Master of the Mansion!" Hong Ba was so scared that he knelt down again when he heard this, kowtowed like pounding garlic, pointing to Zhongli and said, "The matter of gluttonous food is that this person covets the beauty of the daughter of Lan. He wants to force them to submit to the daughter of Lan through gluttonous food, which has nothing to do with...the younger ones!"

At this time, Hong Ba was really scared. The man in front of him was the top scholar in the new Song Dynasty and the new governor of Quanzhou.

It's just fine if you are in charge of all major affairs in Quanzhou.

The most important thing is who Li Sanjian is? He was outside Xuande Gate and killed a Duke of the dynasty and a royal family member in public... At this time, this incident had spread throughout the world. Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew it, everyone knew it, maybe everyone in the land had known it.

The most important thing is that after this incident, Li Sanjian was safe and sound, almost unscathed, and finally he was "demolished" to Quanzhou without any pain... Should he be demoted or promoted? These are still different things...

A discerning person has long seen the key to this matter, which is the favoritism of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty to Li Sanjian, otherwise Li Sanjian would not have been so relaxed.

The people of Hui'an County, who are tied together, are not as good as a Duke of the current dynasty or a royal family. If Li Sanjian can't get along with them, they will never have any good results. Perhaps dismissal from office and dismissal will be considered light.

This is true for Hui'an County, let alone a small township manager. Therefore, Hong Ba's face looked like a mortal, and he was lying on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

When the Hui'an County Office heard this, everyone looked at Zhong Lizheng, hoping to swallow him alive...

This incident was because Zhong Li was coveting the beauty of Lan Atan's daughter and Yaoyao, which triggered a series of events, and almost brought the new Quanzhou magistrate to the county jail. If this is true, then the big thing would be over...

"Hong Laoba...you're talking nonsense?" Zhong Li was turning around and kowtowed to Li Sanjian, "Master, Hong Laoba discussed this with the young man in advance. He had 70% of the more money he received and 30% of the young man. He wanted to clean up at this time? Humph, there's no way!"

"Oh? Is that right?" Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this, "He is 70% and you are 30%? It turns out that 10% of the money has been spent in your pocket? But the Duke's Mansion can't get a penny?"

"Zhong Cheng!" Li Sanjian then shouted to Zhong Lizheng: "You have changed the orders of the government and exploited the people. You should immediately take the punishment. However, the official has just arrived and does not know much about some things. Therefore, I will send it for the time being. After the investigation, I will be punished together. Then I will be removed from the position of Zhong Chengli, and Lan Atan, a villager of Meiyu Village, will be appointed as the position of Meiyu Village."

Li Sanjian's words are the truth.

Li Sanjian had just entered Quanzhou and arrived in Hui'an County. He encountered such a thing. Although Li Sanjian had asked a lot, he still had to act carefully and not listen to one-sided words. Therefore, Li Sanjian only waived Zhong Cheng's position as the official, and would not pursue the rest of the people for the time being. At the same time, this was already a blessing.

As for the appointment and removal of the village, the local county government decided to decide, but Li Sanjian happened to meet it, so he overestimated his affairs, which was reasonable.

As the governor of Quanzhou, Li Sanjian appointed and removed a small Li Zheng, so no one else would gossip. Who dares to gossip?

At the same time, Li Sanjian's move was a reward for Lan Atan's kindness to give all his care and entertain his group.

"Thank you for your kindness..." At this time, Yuan Meiyu was in the village, and Zhong Cheng did not continue begging for mercy. Instead, he snorted and left with his subordinates in disappointment.

Li Sanjian ignored Zhong Cheng and looked at Hong Ba and said, "As for you... the same is true. I ordered you to be punished and continue to be your village chief. But I have a saying for you, that is, you should not know others. Unless you don't do it yourself, I hope you can stop the horse in the future, otherwise I can't save you.

.”

Li Sanjian was sincerely admonishing Yu Hongba at this time.

Li Sanjian didn't want to take care of the previous incidents, nor could he do it. This was a disadvantage of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom. Even if Li Sanjian wanted to take care of it, he was still willing but not capable enough.

What Li Sanjian can do is to manage his own acre of land, not now, but in the future.

The reason is that the Quanzhou officialdom must continue to operate normally, and tax collection must also proceed normally. Otherwise, Quanzhou may face a paralysis. If the Quanzhou officialdom needs to operate normally, at present, it is necessary to rely on these people, so Li Sanjian has to continue to remain as this person.

If Hong Ba continues to do evil, then Li San will definitely take him down and punish him without hesitation.

For Li Sanjian, who was the first to be the governor of Quanzhou, stabilizing the overall situation is the most urgent matter.

"You are the same, I hope you will be admonished in the future." Li Sanjian then said to the people in Hui'an County.

"I thank you, the emperor, for your public kindness!" The people from Hui'an County and the county yard were overjoyed and bowed one after another. Even the several yamen runners who were injured before also said thanking Li Sanjian.

"Thank you, my dear husband!" Hong Ba said in admiration and cried.

At this time, Hong Ba also sincerely thanked Li Sanjian.

The reason is that Li Sanjian's words have been made clear. Li Sanjian will no longer pursue Hong Ba's past affairs, which is what Hong Ba's most at ease.

As a township department that urges the county and township to supervise taxes, Hong Ba must have a lot of money. Previously, Hong Ba was inevitably involved in it.

In fact, although Hong Ba made a lot of money in it in the past, Hong Ba was not crazy and still had some concerns.

At the same time, under Li Sanjian's warning, Hong Ba couldn't help but secretly warn himself that he must be careful in this kind of thing in the future and that he must stop when it is time to stop, otherwise his life might be lost in Hui'an County, Quanzhou.

How old is this person? Is he skilled in maintaining his appearance? He looks extremely young, but in fact he is not young anymore?

Li Sanjian beat and pulled, and his experienced handling methods made Hong Ba and others feel extremely puzzled.

Li Sanjian is so young, no one would have thought that he would be the magistrate of Quanzhou... At the same time, his skillful means of dealing with things make people feel that he should be a politician who has been scattered in the officialdom for a long time...

How could he look like a young official who had just entered the officialdom for about a year?

"Hey, A Tan, why are you still standing stupidly? Why don't you thank the magistrate?" At this time, a neighbor pushed Lan A Tan who had been standing blankly.

"Liar...untty...I, I...I...Thank you, Master Magistrate..." Lan Atan just woke up and said hurriedly.

Lan Atan was excited and was a little incoherent.

Just a few hours ago, Lan Atan was still a villager who was too ordinary, but at this time he turned into a civil servant in Meiyu Village... At this time, Lan Atan was still in the clouds and had no idea where he was.

But don’t underestimate this little inner archery. In Meiyu Village, you look like a local emperor.

Zhong Lizheng used to be just a little rich man with some wealth. Because he became a Lizheng, his family business flourished and he became a famous official in Hui'an County.
