After hearing Jin Sanquan's words, the merchants nodded and agreed to this point. During the day, they saw the followers brought by Wang Ping'an. Even if this person's appetite was too small, it would be impossible to describe it as a lion's mouth. Think about it, how much money would he have to spend on just supporting his subordinates!

And wherever this money comes from, it is up to scratch the ground? Which official doesn’t scratch the ground? He doesn’t scratch it because he doesn’t have the chance to scratch it, not because he doesn’t want to scratch it!

A businessman said, "Master Jin, or you go and see how much the prince wants? We are ready if we find it out. Otherwise, as we are now, we can hold it up and down, who can stand it? Let's send filial piety early, and we will feel at ease!"

The merchants nodded again and looked at Jin Sanquan. Jin Sanquan had to nodded as well. Here he was the only one who could speak to Wang Ping'an. If he didn't ask, no one could ask. And if he left this matter to him, wouldn't it be like proof that he was the number one businessman in Qingzhou? Who dares to mess with the businessman who can have something to do with the governor?

The merchants discussed it again and then went home. Everyone sighed. They had just fed a wolf and another tiger came. I don’t know how much meat I could feed the tiger!

Wang Ping'an was not idle after seeing off the merchants. When Ouyang Li came back, he immediately asked Ouyang Li to solve Wu Meiniang's affairs, arrange a house for her, and send someone to protect her, so that she could not make any mistakes.

Ouyang Li immediately took the Ouyang brothers to do it. They naturally knew the importance of Wu Meiniang, and did not dare to be careless at all, and everything was handled properly.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Wang Ping'an was promoted to the hall. All the officials of Qingzhou came to the governor's mansion and listened to Wang Ping'an's order. The clerk also sent the account book of Qingzhou to Wang Ping'an to see it.

After Wang Ping'an named the officials, he opened the account book and frowned after reading a few pages. The account was really messy and I remember it was messy.

He raised the account book, shook it at Che Sitong, and said, "It is convenient to keep the account book like this, why embezzle it?"

Che Sitong was shocked. Wang Ping'an said this very seriously. It is obvious that he is looking for trouble. Could it be that the new official took office and that this one is going to cure himself?

Che Sitong dared not talk back, but he had a way to transfer the responsibility. He said, "When you say that, our account book in Qingzhou was not recorded like this a long time ago. It was only seven or eight years ago that I began to remember it like this. At that time, the humble official had not come to Qingzhou and had not been the chief minister. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with humble official!"

Wang Ping'an looked at him and asked, "Who does that have to do with?"

Che Sitong immediately said, "Mr. Ji has been here as the governor for eight years. If the prince has any questions, go to him to ask?"

At this time, a small official below said: "Mr. Ji left the city early this morning. He had handed over his prints and had already put up his luggage. He shook his sleeves and left with his sleeves!"

Wang Ping'an looked at the talking official and saw the man standing at the end of the team, wearing a white-washed green robe. He was about forty years old, but his face was old, with dark skin on the ground and wrinkles on it. He didn't look like an official, but an old vegetable farmer wearing official uniforms.

Wang Ping'an opened the roster and found that the man was named Cui Dawei. He was not over forty years old, but thirty-five years old. He was a recorder. At the age of twenty, he was recommended by the local government to become a recorder. As a result, fifteen years have passed, but he still has no official who has been promoted to the half-rank.

Wang Ping'an looked up at Cui Dawei, and understood in his heart that people like him had not been promoted for fifteen years. There were roughly two situations: one was that they had no ability, and they were just stumbled. Most of these people were good men and did not dare to offend anyone in order to keep their jobs. The other was that they had the ability, but they were very stinky. In order to make him do things, others could not dismiss him, but because they were bothered by him, they did not promote him.

Cui Dawei just spoke sarcasticly, and it was obvious that he belonged to the latter type of person, and had the ability to do practical things, but his mouth was too smelly and it was very annoying.

Wang Ping'an said: "Cui Dawei, right? Stand out and speak!"

The officials looked at Cui Dawei together and thought to themselves: "The person surnamed Cui, you are the one who is the last one. Oh, it's a pity. If he is driven away, then who will he look for if he encounters offending or difficult things in the future?"

Cui Dawei also felt quite regretful. Why did he talk too much about this? The family still counted on their salary to live. If there was no official position, what would the family eat? There were elderly people and young people, and there were several people!

But the words were said and could not be taken back. Cui Dawei had to bite the bullet, walk out of the queue, and bow to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an said: "According to your words, it means that the account book in Qingzhou is in chaos. Whether there is any trickyness is impossible to check, because the former Lord Ji has already run away from the wind and lightning, so I can only clean up the mess, right?"

Cui Dawei said this and said in a bad tone, thinking: "He felt angry. It seems that this fire is about to swell me, so my official position will not be able to be saved. Since that's the case, then you can say whatever you want!"

He shouted: "This is what the humble position means. The bad debts of the former official will naturally be handled by the current official. If Lord Ji is promoted or transferred, it is possible to investigate, but he is resigning and returning home. If he wants to investigate, it will inevitably be said that he is killing a donkey, which will damage his reputation from the prince. Therefore, you have to eat this mute loss!"

Wang Ping'an looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Officials of all sizes were worried about Cui Dawei, and their gloating thoughts were fading. No matter what, although Cui Dawei was annoying, no one could do many things in the state except him. If he was driven away, wouldn’t his affairs be distributed to everyone? Some things are really difficult to do!

Wang Ping'an closed the roster with a snap and said, "What do you mean... Humph, who do you agree with Cui Lushi's meaning?"

The officials lowered their heads together, and no one spoke, and no one dared to agree.

After waiting for a while, Wang Ping'an suddenly laughed and said, "Cui Lushi is telling the truth. To be honest, you should be rewarded. I am afraid that someone will miss the reward, so I asked this question. I didn't expect you to think about me so much and save trouble for me. Well, then I will only reward Cui Lushi alone."

Officials of all sizes were exhausted together, no, they actually wanted to reward them?

Cui Dawei was also surprised. He was ready to get out. He was worried about what he could make a living in the future. Unexpectedly, the new governor changed his subject and wanted to reward him!

Wang Ping'an said: "You are a recorder, from a small official under the ninth rank, so small that you can't be even smaller. Well, for the sake of telling the truth, you will be promoted to a recorder and joining the army, and from an eighth rank." After a pause, he said: "Your official uniform should be replaced, and it is almost washed white!"

Cui Dawei has been an official for fifteen years and has never seen such a boss. The former governors didn't want to talk to a small official like him who could not be even small. As for promotion and reward, he didn't even have to think about it. For so many years, he has been an official, except for the good times and the energy savings during the years and the energy savings, he has never received any rewards in his memory!

Cui Dawei's eyes were wet, and tears were almost filled with tears. He lifted his robe and knelt down for Wang Ping'an, choking and saying, "I thank you for your reward!" He didn't say much, but his expression was solemn, and he knew he was sincerely grateful at a glance.

Di Renjie stood in the team and looked at Cui Dawei on the ground, thinking: "Brother is very good at ease. It seems that he can really improve his official position after spending time with the big guys in the court. He just flipped the account book and scared a few words of casual words, which scared all the officials in the state honestly. With this reward, he immediately got Cui Dawei, a loyal subordinate, and killed two birds with one stone!"

Qiu Tingxuan stood beside Di Renjie. He also thought to himself: "If the new official takes office, if he wants his subordinates to listen to him and not to hold back, first, he must let the officials have something to ask for. What the officials ask for is just promotion. Wang Ping'an has set an example in this regard; second, he must make the officials have something to be taboo, so he must kill the chicken for the monkey. But I don't know which chicken Wang Ping'an wants to kill, it won't be the Changshiche Sitong?"

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "Cui joins the army and stand where you should stand according to the grade."

Cui Dawei agreed and stood up and retreated to the team. But he was the youngest official just now, so he naturally stood at the end of the team. But now he is not the youngest. He jumped to level three times in a row, and he is even bigger than his former boss!

His immediate boss, the one who usually suppressed him the most, saw Cui Dawei retreating, and he was embarrassed, so he had to force his smile and leaned back with a smile, trying to make room for Cui Dawei.

But the immediate boss's immediate boss, the official who usually instructed the immediate boss to suppress Cui Dawei, was stunned at this time. Cui Dawei is now even higher than him and has become one of his superiors! The official quickly smiled his face into a flower and gave up his position to Cui Dawei!

Cui Dawei stood in the team, and his colleagues were smiling at him with kindness. But he turned to see that his bosses just now stood behind him, even bent down slightly, trying his best to please him!

A sense of spirit filled Cui Dawei's chest. He thought to himself: "I have heard that as long as you have something to do with the princes in Chang'an, you can get benefits. I don't expect that after the prince comes to Qingzhou, I will be the first person to get benefits! Follow the princes and have a bright future!"

Wang Ping'an said to the officials: "Mr. Ji is gone, he didn't take anything away, right?"

Che Sitong hurriedly said, "No, Lord Ji didn't take anything away. If you had to say there was, it would be just a clean and honest person!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "But he left a lot of bad debts. How do you calculate this? Otherwise, you can calculate it for him?"

The officials' faces suddenly turned green, and they were the same color as their official uniforms! What a joke? All the benefits were taken away by Ji, but we wanted to wipe his butt. Why? He is not our boss now, why should we take responsibility for him?

Che Sitong quickly gave his colleagues and excused him for himself. He said: "The lowly officials are not very clear about the issue of unclear accounts. It is better to send someone to catch up with Lord Ji and ask him to explain clearly. Prince, do you think this is OK?"

Wang Ping'an looked at Che Sitong and said, "How do you let him explain the account clearly? You can tell me how to explain it clearly first, and then how do you let him explain it clearly?"

Che Sitong grinned and looked back at his colleagues, thinking, "God, this is really hard for me. You guys think of ways, you can't just train me!"

All the officials lowered their heads and wanted to change to other officials. They ran to Qingzhou to be the governor. Now they were sitting in the hall and playing with killing chickens for monkeys to see. Then they must find a way to mention their backers to Wang Ping'an, scare Wang Ping'an, and tell him, don't look at our young officials, but there are people above us.

However, the trick "someone above" is not good for Wang Ping'an! All of them have less support than Wang Ping'an's official position. What kind of backers are not as good as Wang Ping'an's official position? In Wang Ping'an's eyes, their backers are just a small amount of land, not enough for Wang Ping'an to step on one foot!

No one dared to raise his head and talk to Che Sitong. Who told him to be the chief minister? If he had anything to say, he would do it. If he didn't take the blame, he would not take it, and if others would not take it, they would not take it!

Seeing that no one was talking, Che Sitong had to turn his head and make a fuss. Anyway, Governor Ji had already stepped down, and there were no officials among his descendants. At best, Governor Ji would be a rich man and a rich man in the future. It would be better to investigate him than to investigate himself!

As long as he is determined, he dares to say something. He said, "Duke, for the purpose of being a humble position, Lord Ji has also been an official in Qingzhou for many years. It is inappropriate to investigate him here, which damages his face. Why not report this matter to Chang'an and ask the Ministry of Personnel to send someone to Lord Ji's hometown and hold him accountable there. I wonder what the prince and Gong would like to do?"

Wang Ping'an said with a oh, saying, "What do you mean is to let Lord Ji be embarrassed and not to throw him in Qingzhou, but to his hometown?"

"I... this..." Che Sitong almost cried. It would be too difficult to bring someone like this!

Wang Ping'an said: "Your idea is good, very good, I agree. OK, sirs, whoever agrees and who opposes? If you agree, don't move, and if you oppose, go ahead!"

Officials, look at me, I look at you, no one touches the place. Who is willing to object to this moment? Whoever opposes is a fool!

Wang Ping'an waited for a while before nodding, "It's great that all of them agree. This shows that all the officials in Qingzhou are united and are actually a model for local governments! Cui Chengjun, you will write to the Ministry of Personnel to report this matter."

After saying that, he no longer checked the account books or repaired the officials. Instead, he took a group of officials out of the governor's mansion and inspected the city.

When the governor went on a tour, he naturally rushed to the front and back. After seeing the people on the street, they had already avoided them from afar and no one dared to come.

Seeing this, Wang Ping'an thought to himself, "The officials and the people here must have a bad relationship. The people are not close to the officials and have no trust. It is estimated that the officials of Qingzhou have never done anything for the people except collecting taxes and enhancing men."

The people on the street were all avoided and there was nothing to see, so he had to take people out of the city. Out of the northern gate of Qingzhou, there was a piece of farmland in front of him. Unfortunately, there were few seedlings, not like the farmland near Chang'an. Looking around, there was a green area.
