The owner of the house saw a group of people clamoring and didn't say anything for a while.

It was not until these people calmed down and looked at him with a gaze, and then said, "I can't tell the authenticity of you IOU for a while. Let's do this, you can register first, and I'll see how many of them are. Then go to Xinfucheng and ask the magistrate of Jinxi County."

The leading fat man said carefully: "Then, can the warehouse be unblocked? Can we take away our food and money?"

The others were also staring at each other, with expectations and uneasiness on their faces.

The owner of the house was plain and said, "How do I know the authenticity when you hold these IOUs? Besides, the warehouse was ordered by the Duke. There is no definite news, so I cannot open the warehouse..."

"How can that be done? It's all our hard-earned money. You can't block it..."

"This chief, I can't seal it. Our family can't get rid of the problem..."

"You can be eased and untie it, just day by day, day by day..."

Dozens of people, waving their IOU, started to yell again.

The owner of the house didn't care and waved his hand and said, "Go and register."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the yamen.

"You can't leave, listen to us..." a creditor shouted.

The owner of the house ignored it and went to the yamen to find Ge Linjia.

"Come with me and go to register. If you don't want to register, you should leave quickly and make trouble in front of the government office. That's a serious crime!"

A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and they had to do this.

In groups of three or three, every word you say, you are full of sorrow and bitterness.

The owner of the house entered Ge Linjia's room, looked up at Ge Linjia, and then stepped forward and said, "Main Lord, it's certain that Jinxi County deliberately borrowed money and grain from the gentry to deal with the inspection and wanted to return it after the inspection. Such a method is not uncommon in the local area."

Ge Linjia put down his pen and said, "From the moment, Fuzhou Prefecture is not suffering from serious disasters and cannot pay the money and grain in full, but officials at all levels have filled their pockets and all of them are in their pockets."

The owner of the house said: "It's not just about filling your own pockets, but also exploiting them layer by layer. This is a common problem in our Song Dynasty. Moreover, the tax they collected was a few percent higher than the court's regulations. Each of them was rich and wealthy, and they didn't care about the lives of the people."

Ge Linjia closed the written official documents and said, "I have already written them to the governor's yamen. The government needs to be rectified, and this tax is also an urgent task."

The head of the Ministry of Revenue said in a slight manner: "The Lord of the House, the Governor's Office cannot not know about this kind of thing. The reason why it is not made public is that the problem is too complicated. First, these officials do not fail to reach out, and second, the relationship is too complicated. Just like today, even if the magistrate of Jinxi County is taken down, the money and grain cannot be returned, and it has been divided up long ago. All officials of all sizes cannot be arrested and confiscated, right? Furthermore, the money and grain in the treasury may not be all borrowed by Jinxi County. Not to mention that our Fuzhou Prefecture cannot replace these corrupt officials. There are so many in the entire palace, and the Governor's Office cannot... The Lord of the House, this problem is very complicated..."

When Ge Linjia heard this, he frowned deeply and said, "You have to cut the mess quickly, you can't drag it..."

The head of the Ministry of Revenue said: "This is the problem. How to kill the mess with a quick knife? Where to kill it? Our Jiangnan West Road is already full of criticism. If this is not handled well, it will offend the gentry of the entire Jiangnan West Road. At that time, all officials of the entire Song Dynasty will have to write a letter to impeach us..."

Ge Linjia seemed to have seen some scene, and his expression became more and more solid.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were all relatives, friends, teachers and friends. The gentry on Jiangnan West Road would definitely affect the whole country. If you really want to write a letter to impeach them, the pressure would be that Grandpa Zhang and even the officials would be frightened and had to give in!

Sitting there thinking for a long time, Ge Linjia didn't think of a solution.

In Kaifeng Prefecture, all policies come from the Government Affairs Hall and come to Kaifeng Prefecture. When they implement them, the pressure is on Kaifeng Prefecture. Although there are some difficulties, there are ways to deal with it.

But this is not Kaifeng Prefecture, nor is it the former magistrate.

Seeing that Ge Linjia didn't speak for a long time, the owner stepped forward and whispered: "Master, these things can only be temporarily suppressed, but the official felt that it would not be able to suppress them for long."

With so much money and food, how could the gentry give up easily? They are already struggling to implement the "Shaosheng New Policy" and angering these local tyrants, the situation will be even more difficult. For the present and future, there will be many disadvantages.

Ge Linjia nodded slightly and said, "We have to find a way to solve it. Leave it to the Governor's Office for a headache. Let's do the current one first."

The owner of the house raised his hand and answered.

That's all.

Their current priority is that those magistrates were still under house arrest in Hongzhou Prefecture, taking the opportunity to complete institutional changes and grasp the actual power of the prefectures, prefectures and counties.

Almost at the same time, Hongzhou Prefecture, a newly built governor's yamen.

Liu Zhiyi and Zhou Wentai accompanied Zong Ze and were inspecting. The newly built governor's yamen had a rough outline, but if they wanted to complete the construction, they had to start spring.

Liu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Governor, is this speed OK?"

Zong Ze was serious and walked, saying, "I heard that there was a large group of people who wanted to go to the city to ask for debts, but were you blocked?"

Zhou Wentai nodded and said, "It's Ganzhou Prefecture. It's too nonsense there and deducted 50% of the money and grains given to the tribute students. Later, because of the city lockdown, they simply detained them all, angering the tribute students. They were going to go to the prefecture to ask for an explanation, but Ganzhou Prefecture had no choice but to send someone to Hongzhou Prefecture. They said they were looking for it, so they asked the governor's yamen for it."

Zong Ze said: "What do you think?"

Liu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Now, these people have pushed all the dirty things they had done to the governor's office. In this case, they can still be sent here. The people behind them have extraordinary means."

Zhou Wentai said: "This is obviously intentional. If it is handled inappropriately, I don't know how many tricks are waiting for us behind it."

Zong Ze looked back at the two of them with his hands behind his back and said, "I mean, what should we do with these tribute students?"

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi paused, looked at each other again, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Since ancient times, scholars have been the most difficult to deal with. These tribute students come to ask for money and food. If they give them, they will be cheaper for those corrupt officials. There may be more people who will flock to them, and this end cannot be opened.

If they don't give it to them, these people will start to make trouble and do anything. If something happens, they will be unable to argue, and the court can only beat them up.

Maintaining scholars all over the world is an unwritten rule of the court and a consensus among the world.

After a long time, Zong Ze saw that they didn't speak, and turned around and looked at the two of them.

Zhou Wentai looked moved and said softly: "Governor, tomorrow will be the imperial examination."
