Chapter 208 Leaving
Miss Tian, rest assured, we will bring you the new accounts in two hours." Seeing that he had lost face, County Magistrate Liang did not want to embarrass himself here again and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Tian Xinger also wanted to see what tricks County Magistrate Liang was going to play. She had already thought of a plan. If County Magistrate Liang didn't do a good job, then he would not be able to take care of this matter. She brought so many people with her, they were not just for show. However, this was only her worst-case plan. After all, the county magistrate still needed to cooperate in the follow-up. There was no need for the two parties to end up like this, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to the people in the end.
When they returned to the county government office, the lawyer tactfully took out their original account book. He knew that the county magistrate was angry and it would be best for him not to say anything to avoid being scolded in vain.
"Master, don't you think I'm embarrassed by this? Although we agreed at the beginning that it would be fine even if something was found out, this girl has learned so much about the people in the county and villages in just one morning. We will get less money later. This is only the first batch. Will they arrange some random checks later?"
The more Magistrate Liang thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He felt that he had worked so hard for so long, but it was all in vain. He had worked so hard for the people, but what could he get in return? Just a few melons and dates. Who could he send away?
"Sir, they have only seen a few villages at most, and it is impossible for them to understand the situation of every village and town. As long as they get the things, the rest is up to you, right?
Why do you need to worry about this? She is just a little girl. What if she told the prefect? The court is in chaos right now. Who knows what will happen in the future."
When County Magistrate Liang heard this, he realized it was true. The current situation outside was hard to predict. He decided to make more money first. If anything went wrong, he would have more options in the future.
He has no hope in the North now, and making money is not as important as anything else he does.
"Master, what you said makes sense. Then we will hand in the account book in two hours as we agreed before. Don't worry about it now."
After County Magistrate Liang came to his senses, he was in a very good mood. It was not until two hours later that Tian Xing'er received the things.
"Miss, let us help you check if the county magistrate is up to anything again." As soon as Baozhu got the account book, she prepared to look at it with Baoyu.
Tian Xing'er had taught them her method of checking and doing accounts in her previous life before, so it would be less of a worry for her to let these two people look at it.
But after a while, the two of them put down the account books in their hands and looked at each other. Baozhu said, "Miss, this account is correct and there should be no adulteration. We checked our own records and they are almost consistent with what is above."
"Okay, then let's split up and notify them according to what we agreed on before."
The matter had come to an end, and there was no need for them to stay any longer. The grain was transferred to the county warehouse that same night.
When County Magistrate Liang wanted to ask something else, Xu Er replied that he didn't know and would wait for his young lady to notify him.
This made the magistrate of Liang angry again.
"What's wrong with this little girl from the Tian family? We have received the account, what does she want to do now? We have given her the grain, but where is the money? Why is she missing?"
"My Lord, please be at ease. They said that Miss Tian has gone to bed. I will take some people to block them early tomorrow morning. Let's see if they can stay at home."
"Okay, Master, I'll have to trouble you with this matter."
But Magistrate Liang never expected that Tian Xing'er and his companions would leave the city in other carriages as soon as the city gate was opened one day.
They even secretly posted notices all over the city at night, with the prefect's seal on them.
Xu Er and his friends left the county while everyone's attention was focused on the notice.
At this time, many people were standing at the city gate, and some who could read were explaining things to others in front.
"What does it say?"
"Let me take a look. Oh, it seems that it says that the people in the city who meet the standards for relief personnel issued by the previous county magistrate can live in the public housing in the town or the city. If they cannot live in one, they can go to the money house in the city every once in a while to get rice, grain and firewood for the winter, but the quantity is limited. I hope everyone can try to live in the public housing."
"It's really such a good thing, but the county magistrate also asked my father to sign up before, so can my father also live in this public housing?"
"I don't know about that, but it seems to be the prefect's seal, so it shouldn't be fake. If it was fake, wouldn't the officials have torn it off long ago?"
"Yes, but what about the public housing? I haven't even seen a trace of it."
Someone happened to be asking about public housing here, and over there, Tian Xing'er and his team had already found craftsmen who had begun to enter the villages. They paid the craftsmen according to the account book that Liang County Magistrate had previously given them, and asked them to go to each house to renovate it. However, they could not directly touch the villagers' ancestral halls, so if they were willing, they would expand the ancestral hall, and if they were not willing, they would just choose another place.
Anyway, whoever chooses first will start work first.
As for the subsequent firewood, grain, oil, salt, etc., they also found money houses to help pay for them one by one, and they would check with them later.
By the time Tian Xing'er and the others left, County Magistrate Liang had not yet figured out what they were trying to do. They left without even leaving any money, so his efforts had been in vain.
"My Lord, my Lord, this is bad. I heard that Miss Tian has entrusted the largest bank in the county to handle the subsequent expenses. The Tian family is a big customer of this bank and has waived a lot of handling fees."
"What about my money? Are they going to give it to me from the bank?" County Magistrate Liang was only thinking about getting the money and having it pass through his hands.
"This, this, my Lord, I'm afraid that won't work. They directly let the money houses pay for the expenses of each public housing, and let each village choose its own public housing manager and keep accounts. The money houses are also responsible for helping with supervision, and they do it quite well.
This money was directly converted into supplies and sent to the villages. Now all the grain shops in the town and the county are delighted.
They said that they had a stable source of income and they would not have to worry about lack of customers this winter. "The master's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"What, my money, my money, you bunch of useless people, why should I keep you? You haven't done anything for me, yet you still come to irritate me." After hearing this, County Magistrate Liang yelled and slapped the lawyer in the face.
The master was also very angry. He didn't expect that such a little girl could be so cunning and end up tricking him like this.
But he could do nothing about it. After all, she was the daughter of the prefect, and the prefect's family was connected to General Li Yun. He could only bear with it. Now he had to endure being beaten and scolded by the county magistrate.
At this time, Tian Xing'er and the others had moved to the next county. This county did not have so many problems. Like her father, it was a clean county magistrate. It took only one day to resolve the issue. However, she still handed the matter over to the money house, but asked the county magistrate to supervise it and the money house to be responsible for the expenditure.
The public housing is arranged and handled by the county magistrate.
