In the evening, Chen Shiyan was in the back hall and walked onto the terrace of his residence.
There are thousands of lights at the foot of the hill.
"Xiaoya."
"Yes, sir."
"Let's go to the restaurant in the county town, order some special dishes, and then come back here to have a few drinks with the master."
Xiaoya is the maid arranged by Fan Chixiu. Her cultivation is average, at the eighth level of Qi Linking.
He also enjoys being served.
He took out some spirit wine from the storage ring and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling quite heroic.
No wonder some of those in high positions have big minds and broad minds.
It was just a small county, and he hadn't yet fully controlled it. But just sitting in this position, he already had some pride.
This official is amazing.
After a while, Xiaoya came back with some dishes.
Chen Shiyan just drank wine, ate food, looked at the lights, and thought about his things.
It is said that the first thing you do when you get ashore is to kill the person you love.
Who will he kill with this first sword?
After thinking about it, I decided to use my best skills.
Let’s check the accounts.
By the way, let’s take a look at the economic situation in Qianyuan County.
Now that I have an idea, drinking this wine becomes more interesting.
......
He opened the formation and walked to the front yamen.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate."
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate."
There were monks on duty greeting us along the way.
I arrived at my office, which was just behind the lobby, across a patio.
He waved his hand and called a clerk.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate."
"Well, go and call Wu Guiming, Li Zhigui, and Yin Shiqing to come to me."
"Yes, sir."
Soon the three of them landed on the large square in front of the county government office on their flying swords.
"Oh, the county magistrate is looking for the three of us." Yin Shiqing said with a smile.
"Haha, that's normal. After all, we have spirit stones in our hands."
"I'm afraid that if I give it to you, I'll start a new fire." Li Zhigui said.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. Let's go." Yin Shiqing took the lead and walked into the yamen with his hands behind his back.
The three of them came to the familiar back hall.
They said in unison, "Sir."
"Today, the three of you will accompany me here to check the accounts. I will also check the family's financial situation to avoid making a fool of myself in future administration."
The three of them were obviously not used to the way the new county magistrate spoke.
So straightforward.
Seeing that the three of them didn't move, he continued.
"What? What's the problem?"
Yin Shiqing was the first to answer, "No problem, the accounts are all in the mission hall at the foot of the mountain, I'll go get them now."
"No need, I've already arranged for someone to go."
"What about you guys?"
Wu Guiming and Li Zhigui said in their hearts, you have arranged everything, how can we not agree?
Then they looked at each other.
Li Zhigui's eyes seemed to be saying, look, these three fires are coming.
He thought to himself that nothing would be found wrong.
All the accounts were done by the old accountant in the family.
Wu Guiming was sweating a little.
A cultivator at the third level of foundation building with sweat on his forehead can naturally be easily seen by others.
Yin Shiqing quietly moved two steps to the side, two steps away from Wu Guiming.
Li Zhigui was still calm and composed, as if he was upright and aboveboard.
Chen Shiyan held a cup of tea and watched the actions of the three people.
I laughed in my heart, "You must be sweating profusely, little brother."
"Please sit down. Everyone, please come and serve tea. Eh? Sir Wu, are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah, I'm fine. No, I'm fine. I reversed a meridian during my training yesterday, and now I'm in pain."
"When it comes to cultivation, you can't be impatient. When moving the Qi around, you have to be neither hasty nor slow, just like walking. You have to walk on the bright and glorious road and not make any mistakes."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, sir."
Soon, several yamen runners came into the courtyard with several minor officials.
"Your Excellency, the accounts of the three departments, the Construction Supervision Department, the Land Tax Department, and the Mission Department, have been brought to you."
"Okay, present it, and you guys go do your work."
"Yes, sir."
The first thing Chen Shiyan picked up was the accounts of the Mission Department.
He also asked some questions in the middle, and each question hit the point.
Wu Guiming was even more panicked.
Li Zhigui was getting a little restless. It seemed that this county magistrate really understood the accounts.
He knew that there was most likely no problem with the accounts of Yin Shiqing's mission department.
The Mission Department's secret income does not rely on any deductions.
Their way of playing is to take on some tasks that are either easy, or reward contribution, or reward some rare treasures.
The big families in the county made private offers to buy it.
There is no problem on the surface.
Even so, the county magistrate still found some minor problems.
He felt lucky that he could be like this.
"Okay, Yin Sicheng, the question just now needs to be clearly stated when we go back. It doesn't matter if we have a little more or less here, but for those casual cultivators, it may be a world of difference."
"As officials, we must be kind."
"I will follow the instructions of the county magistrate."
"You should go do your thing first."
After saying goodbye, Yin Shiqing walked out holding the account. When he passed by the two people sitting at the seats, he gave them a look.
It seems to be saying, wish you good luck.
Chen Shiyan took a sip of tea.
He reached out to the accounts of the Industrial and Manufacturing Department.
He first looked at the general ledger recorded in the jade slip, and then immediately took out a paper account book.
While watching, making sounds with his mouth.
The sound of "tsk, tsk" continued to be heard.
There was disdain between his brows.
"Li Sicheng, who did this accounting?"
"Your Excellency, these are the accounting records of the company."
"Go back and chop it up. It's bullshit and full of loopholes. Even I can't pass it. If the prefecture and county conduct a random inspection, won't we all suffer the consequences?"
"Sir...sir..."
"Go back and redo the accounts and present them to me. If I find any loopholes again, you must spit out as many spiritual stones as you ate."
"Understand?"
"I understand, I understand. I understand."
"Well, go ahead."
Li Zhigui put away the accounts and walked out.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the government office.
Just at this moment, a foundation-building cultivator came riding a sword and landed beside him.
"Second brother, what's going on? I heard the county magistrate wants to check the accounts?"
"Brother, you are late. I have finished the investigation."
Seeing that his second brother seemed somewhat relaxed.
"It seems that no problem was found. I will reward those accountants generously when I return."
"No problem? It's all problems. Go back and take people to take away the accountant of my factory and chop him up."
"Cut it off?"
"Yes, I cut it off."
"How many people are there in our family?"
"Hmph, keep it. We still need to redo the accounts."
Only then did Li Zhiyou react.
"Just like that?"
"I don't care what he thinks. I'm not checking the accounts for any reason."
"What's that for?"
"What else could it be? Spiritual stones, spiritual objects, natural treasures! Let's go and do our work."
Li Zhiyou muttered secretly, "It's better to have spiritual stones, it's better to have spiritual stones."
At this time, Wu Guiming had hope and yet no hope.
Hopefully, he also understood what Li Zhigui had just been scolded for.
This County Magistrate Chen is a wise man and kind to others.
What I don't hope for is...
His hole got a little bigger.
Chen Shiyan watched Li Zhigui go away and shook his head.
Let's collect some money first and use their spirit stones to improve my cultivation.
Wait until you reach the peak of foundation building before dealing with these families.
Now let’s just fish out all the fish in a sustainable way.
He picked up the account of the Land Tax Department.
The more you look at his face, the darker it gets. The more you look at his face, the darker it gets.
At this moment he understood the words in Bullets Flying.
This damn tax has been collected until 2024!
Wu Guiming looked at the county magistrate's face and knew that if he didn't do something, he would be in trouble.
"My lord, my lord, I am deeply troubled."
Chen Shiyan, with a gloomy face, laughed.
"Bitter? I don't think you're suffering enough."
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a big seal appeared in his hand.
"Sir, please wait, sir, please wait, I can explain it, I can explain it!"
"Can you explain?"
"able."
"Then tell me."
