Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 871 Taoyuan County magistrate, professional analysis

Seeing Emperor Jing's fists clenched tightly, Guo Tianyang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him in a low voice: "Master, this troublemaker is like this. He does three things all day long, scolding the imperial court when he eats and sleeps, but his own people can scold them. If outsiders scold the imperial court and them I still favor us in my heart, I saw a lot of slaves when I was young, so don't take it to your heart."

Zhang Biao's ears were sharp, and he added angrily: "Whoever said it, I never scold the court."

Guo Tiannuo pulled his face and gave him a gouging look.

"Are you a troublemaker? Say you!?"

You big meatball, why don't you just stay honest, what are you talking about!

However, when Zhang Biao opened his mouth, Emperor Jing became inexplicably cheerful, and looked at Zhang Biao with admiration.

"Great wisdom is like foolishness."

Guo Tianyang: "..."

Hearing that Wang Erzhu said that the imperial court was wrong in front of Emperor Jing, Fang Zhengyi also became anxious.

Your kid is dying?Although the old father-in-law is generous and kind.

But I'm obviously in a bad mood today... Why are you talking such nonsense? I even made up a conspiracy theory myself.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The war has nothing to do with Xinzhang County. Xinzhang County is not good, but our great scene has been developing rapidly over the years. How can we say that the court is not good?" Fang Zhengyi said seriously.

Wang Erzhu was annoyed: "Damn, I don't know if the day is good or not?"

"The imperial court sent an idiot to make a mess in Xinzhang County. Could it be possible that people still don't speak their minds? Why don't you explain to me, if it's not the imperial court's fault, whose fault is it?"

Fangzheng looked back at Emperor Jing, saw that his face was a little dark, and said calmly: "This is only a problem in Xinzhang County. Besides, don't you have land, how can you not have enough to eat if you work hard?"

"I have worked very hard to live!"

The two muttered to each other, and Emperor Jing heard that his face was getting darker and darker.

"Okay, stop complaining." Fangzheng said convincingly: "We are both ordinary people, of course I'm on your side, but we have to be fair in everything, you can just say how things have been going well these years! Isn't Your Majesty not wise? Is it martial arts?"

When mentioning His Majesty, Wang Erzhu was stunned for a moment, and then said coyly: "That's...Your Majesty is wise, but I haven't had a good time, so Your Majesty is not Bai Yingming?"

"Hiss... I said, why don't you eat oil and salt!"

But at this moment, Emperor Jing came over, and Fang Zheng said, "Okay, you don't have to argue. Come out with me first, Zhang Biao is waiting in the room."

Emperor Jing's tone of voice has already become the master of the house.

Wang Erzhu didn't dare to refute, seeing the three of Emperor Jing walking out, he cast his eyes on Zhang Biao.

Zhang Biao basically didn't speak much, making it very non-existent.

Wang Erzhu took a closer look and was shocked: "Oh my god! Why are you as strong as a cow? How much food do you have to eat? Master Huang seems to have a lot of money..."

......

Outside, Emperor Jing hadn't spoken yet.

Fangzheng was the first to catch everyone's attention: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect such a vicious incident to happen during His Majesty's tour!"

"When did the deceitful wind in the officialdom end?" Fang Zheng said with a broken heart, beating his chest.

As he spoke, he sneakily glanced at Emperor Jing, seeing that he was not looking at him, the corner of his mouth flickered quickly.

Guo Tianyang captured this scene for the first time, with extreme contempt on his expression.

Emperor Jing heard the words and sighed: "Sun Sheng seems to be open-minded, but I didn't expect that he has a human face and a beast's heart! I also have misjudged times, thanks to him being able to pretend so well."

Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty, I feel that it might not be Sun Sheng's intention to cheat..."

"how do I say this."

"The minister has been observing him all the way here. If it's really good since we entered the city, it's best to find some people to perform in front of His Majesty. Why did we come here outside the farmland?"

"I heard just now that when Sun Sheng came to the government for the first two months, he made great achievements in governance, but why did his style change suddenly after two months? This change is a bit big."

Emperor Jing asked doubtfully, "Let's talk about the main point."

"It's very simple. Sun Sheng was deceived. After entering the city, Sun Sheng has been telling His Majesty about his governance strategy, and I feel very clean after listening to it."

"Now that I think about it, this may be the problem. His methods are too ruthless and straightforward, and his actions are rigid, and there is no room for change."

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people come to check, there will be no disciples. He has just arrived, and he has no team in Xinzhang County. At first, everyone will be afraid of the three fires when the new official takes office. They can tolerate a temporary concession, but it will take a long time. Even the people in the county government cannot accept it, they have worked in the county before, and they have already formed a relationship with the gentry."

"If everyone is dissatisfied with him, they will unite. At the same time, they are afraid of his background, so they coax him and lie to him."

"However, how can Xinzhang County's annual income increase be explained?" Emperor Jing asked.

Fang Zheng said together: "I'm afraid this is because the wealthy households have united and are willing to give up part of the benefits and report them to the imperial court."

"Compared to the profits they get from jointly exploiting the common people, these [-]% are just drizzle! As long as Sun Sheng can be stabilized, they can always monopolize the whole city and suck the blood of the people in the whole city."

"Even if things happen in the future, Sun Sheng, the scapegoat, can be pushed out, and they will get away with it."

Emperor Jing nodded thoughtfully.

Fang Zhengyi continued: "At the end of the day, I think Sun Sheng is good in nature, but he has a common fault of a scholar."

"What's the common problem?"

"He doesn't get muddy on his feet, and his understanding of the people's sentiments is far from deep enough. If everything is as envisioned by the minister, then he should rarely walk around among the people. As for all the situation and plans in the city, it is up to the subordinates to report one by one before making decisions. , otherwise you won’t be deceived by others. It’s understandable if it’s the center of the imperial court doing things like this, but for a county, if you can’t go down to the ground to talk to the people in person, then there must be a major omission in the governance. I still have some experience in this area .”

Seeing that Emperor Jing listened seriously, Fang Zhengyi's expression gradually showed nostalgia and emotion.

"At the beginning, when I was in Taoyuan County, I had to do everything personally. Every street and every building must be personally visited. I can't rest until the fortifications are completed. As for the public opinion survey, I also check it once a month. I must personally ask about important events. All these documents are clearly recorded, and then they will be carefully verified according to the map."

"The most important thing is to mediate among the interests of all parties, and strive to achieve the satisfaction of the majority, and be fair, just and open. This is how Taoyuan County is today."

As soon as Fangzheng finished speaking, he raised his chin slightly, waiting for his father-in-law to speak kindly.

Emperor Jing was in a daze, and it took a while to realize, hesitatingly said.

"You...you still have time to be so diligent?"

"???"

......

(Say something positive!)
