Chapter 359: The Shanyin County Magistrate Is A Good Herdsman!
And Huang Long also knew very well that this county magistrate was just a small official, and it was difficult to see a real high-ranking official in this small county.
After all, most of the real local officials in the entire Ming Empire gathered in the capital or some more important places.
It is impossible to raise a real dragon in a small pond.
And a place like Shanyin County is obviously a small pond~.
The person who is the county magistrate in this place is obviously not a powerful person.
But no matter what kind of role you play, as long as you are an official, you cannot escape the Donglin Party.
In the officialdom, the Donglin Party seems to be a behemoth.
But now that the county magistrate was able to come over to meet him, it was beyond Huang Long's expectation.
This is politics.
Even if the Donglin Party and Dongchang are on the same level, as long as the other party's officials are one level higher, no one will openly oppose them. At least these sesame officials don't mind being the first to bow their heads.
What else can you do without bowing your head?
Could it be that Dongchang found a reason to take it down and then became a victim of Dongchang's stigmatization?
The Donglin Party can get some benefits from this, and can even suppress Dongchang's momentum, making Dongchang's crimes even deeper.
But so what?
If the price is their own lives, few people would do this.
The Donglin Party is not full of fools, there are still many smart people.
Huang Long didn't expect that this county magistrate who was just hanging around in Shanyin County had some brains.
"County magistrate?" Huang Long glanced at him lightly, "Are you the county magistrate of this county?"
"Your Majesty is the magistrate of Shanyin County!" Although the old man was a little frightened, he still said bravely, "Your Majesty, please visit the factory! May I ask your name?"
"You don't need to know my name!" Huang Long said calmly, "I'm just passing by, don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"
Although he said this, the county magistrate was already sweating on his forehead.
What the hell is not nervous!
In the past, any place where thousands of households in Dongchang passed by would not be searched for?
This has almost become common sense.
Within the Donglin Party, many thousands of households in Dongchang are regarded as three feet of melon land.
And now, this guy actually calls himself the Governor!!!
At this time, Zheng Yuchuan's heart began to feel sad.
Originally, he prepared 30,000 taels of silver and planned to give it to the Dongchang masters who came to fight the autumn wind at once.
Although it feels a little distressing to do this, at least it can gain Dongchang's favor, and maybe he can take the opportunity to rise to a higher level.
For people in the officialdom, as long as they can be promoted, the price is nothing.
Moreover, Dongchang is famous for its stupid and powerful people.
As long as you are willing to take refuge with them, you will definitely have a successful official career.
Of course, Zheng Yuchuan never thought about completely turning to Dongchang. After all, if he turned to Dongchang, his reputation would be lost, and he would be reviled by thousands of people.
Zheng Yuchuan was able to manage Shanyin County in an orderly manner, which was considered to be somewhat capable. Naturally, he was unwilling to ruin his lifelong reputation like this.
But he felt that he could grasp the boundaries and use Dongchang's power while maintaining his reputation.
But when he heard Huang Long calling himself the governor, Zheng Chuan was almost stunned.
There are only five chapters like this!
When was the governor of Dongchang not protected by hundreds or even thousands of masters?
Why are there only five fanzi?
If it weren't for the genuineness of these fans' waistbands, Zheng Yuchuan would even want to check their identities.
At the same time, Zheng Yuchuan had also begun to think that he could only suffer from bleeding!
Or just don’t pick up a dime at all.
Either don't pay a penny and continue to maintain your Qingming, or increase your efforts and make greater use of Dongchang's power.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand! I understand!" The county magistrate said while wiping his sweat and nodding, "I didn't know that the governor was here, so I'm guilty! Do you want the governor to show your favor and take a rest at the county government office?"
"Forget it, I just want to see what Shanyin County has to offer." With a smile on his face, Huang Long took the lead in walking towards the county government office.
Perhaps ordinary people who have never been to Shanyin County still don’t know where the county government is, and they need someone else to show them the way.
But Huang Long obviously doesn't need it.
He walked towards the county government office easily, not looking like a newcomer to Shanyin County at all.
Zhou Yangsong and others naturally followed Huang Long closely, not because they were afraid that Huang Long would be assassinated.
But he was afraid that someone would offend Huang Long if he didn't have good eyesight.
The county magistrate quickly trotted to follow Huang Long. At the same time, he was trying to please Huang Long and ordered the people around him: Why don't you quickly order the Population County Office to make preparations!?"
Naturally, his subordinates rushed back to the county office to prepare, but Huang Long simply slowed down and waited for Zheng Yuchuan.
……Please give me flowers…………0
"Shanyin County is a good place! It seems quite wealthy. Mr. Zheng is a good herdsman!"
Huang Long praised him as he walked.
The closer you get to the center of the county, the neater and cleaner the houses are. Even if they are not high-rise buildings, they still have a unique flavor.
I have to say that this Zheng Yuchuan is a capable official.
Yes, in Huang Long's view, Zheng Yuchuan is just a small capable official, a mere seventh-grade sesame official, not really an official at all.
Zheng Yuchuan smiled proudly at this time: "Thanks to the governor's praise, the subordinates are frightened. Shanyin County now has a population of 100,000! The annual tax revenue can be 30,000 taels of silver."
"Moreover, Shanyin County is not far from Huashan, and my subordinates are preparing to join forces with Huashan County to hold the World Martial Arts Conference. The top of Huashan has been famous for decisive battles since ancient times. If it can be used well, it will generate more than three million taxes every year. One hundred thousand taels!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yuchuan couldn't help but his eyes almost lit up.
What is the purpose of being an official thousands of miles away?
Is it really to help the people and become a great master?
No one is that boring, at least Zheng Yuchuan came to Shanyin County just to make money.
But he is different from many ordinary corrupt officials, who only think about how to plunder the land.
After working as a county magistrate for several years, he worked so hard that he could only earn one hundred thousand taels of silver.
But Zheng Yuchuan would not do this. After coming to Shanyin County, he actively investigated, and finally he discovered some unique industries in Shanyin County, and then used them.
For a small county town, the annual tax revenue can actually be 30,000 taels of silver, which is already extremely outstanding.
After all, the county magistrate has to collect another level. If you include the 170,000 taels he himself received, the annual tax revenue will most likely exceed 200,000 taels!
A small county with a population of 100,000 can generate 200,000 taels of tax revenue a year.
Huang Long glanced at the chubby Zheng Yuchuan next to him, and his evaluation of him couldn't help but rise a little higher.
It's a pity that such people are born at the wrong time!
In today's era, talents like him are no longer talents.
Neither the Donglin Party nor the Dongchang Party needs such people at all.
You can develop the economy? So what? Who cares!? What they need is people to help them fight for power and intrigue. .
