"What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised and asked.

Wu Guofu looked at Ge Daniu and said, "These people are aware of these people."

Then, Wu Guofu pointed to Ge Daniu: "If I remember correctly, his name is Ge Daniu. Last year, the county has a flood. They are all righteous people who actively save people and things, especially Ge Daniu, who saves the most people! Your Majesty, why did you catch him now? Isn't this the wrong person?!"

"Rightist people?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Ge Daniu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have another identity now."

"Along the way, we can make money by moving goods for business travelers. We are considered a good citizen who is hardworking and rich. He charges the fees on the road, which is no different from bandits. He actively saves people and things when disasters occur. He is also a righteous citizen. The same person can actually divide all kinds of good and evil. This citizen really doesn't know how to manage it."

Lu Xiangsheng said at this time.

Next, Zhu Youxiao asked Yang Tinglin to explain to the magistrate Wu Guofu why Ge Daniu and others were taken to the county government office by the Imperial Guard Camp.

Wu Guofu was also surprised after hearing this.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, "It is said that the magistrate is a civil servant. Now it seems that even the magistrate is difficult to know the details of the people!"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong again!"

Wu Guofu replied directly.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao became angry on the spot.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng asked in anger for Zhu Youxiao: "Minister Wu! You are arrogant!"

Wu Guofu ignored Lu Xiangsheng and continued: "Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside. Although I was a magistrate, I could just follow the magistrate established by Taizu to govern the affairs. Why do I need to understand the details of the common people?!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked angrily: "So, even if you, the magistrate, will you sit down and watch the people below do this gangster?"

"If you know it, it will be different, so you will naturally have to issue a notice."

Wu Guofu replied.

"Why not arrest the person who committed the crime?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

Wu Guofu looked disdainful for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why did you say it wrong again!"

"you!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wu Guofu and gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty calms down! This person is obviously a person with a bad temper, so there is no need to have a general understanding of him."

Wen Tiren hurriedly followed him to turn off the fire, and then scolded Wu Guofu: "Minister of Wu, if your Majesty asks you, you will answer truthfully, even if your Majesty has something wrong or something you didn't expect, it should be to guide your Majesty, not to anger your Majesty. Do you think your neck is too hard?!"

"It's true! What laws can the common people understand and only know how to make profits. As a county magistrate, I can only guide and educate them in sequence. Do I really have to be severely punished and severe? In that case, even if I am not exhausted, I will be executed by Your Majesty for causing civil rebellion!"

"Besides, even if you want to do this, if any offenders have to be arrested and questioned, the government's power is not enough!"

"Even if there are many patrol stations now, one station usually has to be responsible for the public security of several villages, and the registered officials are only about ten. In addition, the non-registered white guards have only twenty or thirty people, but they have to manage the public security of several villages. However, these villages have thousands or even tens of thousands of people in total! They can't control them at all! Sometimes, when there are conflicts between the two villages, the government dare not even stop them, and they can only wait until the matter is over before dealing with them."

"Your Majesty, do you understand the situation in the county?"

Wu Guofu asked arrogantly as he said that, and glanced at Zhu Youxiao with a provocative expression.

Zhu Youxiao's breathing was a little rapid, and his face was naturally unhurried, especially when he saw Wu Guofu's expression was good, but he had to admit that what Wu Guofu said made sense, and said:

"I forgot that a new prefecture and county-level official adage should be introduced as a guideline for civil management of people-friendly officials."

"First of all, the imperial power must be changed if it does not go to the countryside. The magistrate must go to the countryside to see it. For example, this time, although the people's lack of legal awareness is one aspect, your magistrate must also learn to organize and mobilize the people and allocate special funds as an incentive to encourage the people who actively report illegal deeds! Don't do anything like before!"

"Your Majesty, you are a big mistake!"

Wu Guofu suddenly said another sentence, looking excited.

Zhu Youxiao asked with a cold face: "How could I be so wrong?"

"The county magistrate went to the countryside to disturb the tranquility of the people, that would be of no use!"

Wu Guofu said with certainty.

"If you don't understand the people's conditions, how can you be a magistrate in a district?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

Wu Guofu said: "If you want to understand the people's conditions, you can only visit privately, but it is clear that the magistrate must be prohibited from going to the countryside to disturb the people at will! Why doesn't your Majesty understand? Because after a member of the official comes, the burden will be increased by the people below!"

"You also think that I'm coming is causing you trouble?"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wu Guofu and asked.

"Your Majesty knows it yourself!"

Wu Guofu replied.

"you!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wu Guofu angrily, thinking about issuing an order to execute him directly, but thought to himself: "Reasonablely, even if a normal person despises me, he will not be so obvious. Could it be that he was deliberately concealing something?"

After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao also deliberately said: "Let's go! Leave Ge Daniu and others to the county government."

After Zhu Youxiao said that, he threw his sleeves and left.

"Your Majesty calms down. Although this magistrate Wu is arrogant, his words are not mediocre. We do not understand the affairs of the county very well. Now that we think about it carefully, some of the reasons he said are not unreasonable."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

Unlike in history, Lu Xiangsheng first joined the army after graduating from the martial arts lecture hall, and later became a civilian, and he also directly appointed the government officials in the Ministry of War. So he started to say this at this time.

Wen Tiren, who was a Hanlin official and was an official of the Ministry of Rites when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, also said: "My ministers have never been close to the people, and they don't know whether the county magistrate went to the countryside to disturb the people or benefit the people."

Zhu Youxiao sneered at this time: "That's right, you two have never been people-friendly officials, so you are not confident in this regard. Although I don't know, I don't think that he, a county magistrate like Wu Guofu, who does not go to the countryside, really understands the affairs of the county better than me!"

As Zhu Youxiao said, he ordered Han Zanzhou: "Let the people from the East Factory be watched quietly from behind to see if anyone is following."

...

"County Master, is your Majesty really angry with you?"

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's back as he was waiting for him to leave, the studio clerk Hu Zhaolong asked with a smile.

Wu Guofu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous! This official called swordsmanship. If you don't use any seemingly loyal and insightful words to leave him, will he not be able to turn over the county?"

"What the county master said is that when I saw them escorting Ge Daniu and others here, I was really worried that they already knew that Ge Daniu would pay for the road and share the money with our county government. It seems that Ge Daniu hadn't told him yet, otherwise this would be the case."

Hu Zhaolong said.

"First take Ge Daniu and others to the county government office, and then send someone to follow him to see if His Majesty and the others will come back."

Wu Guofu smiled coldly and gave an order.

"Okay!"

...

Half an hour later.

Han Zanzhou came to Zhu Youxiao: "The emperor, there are indeed some followers, we have caught them! We also interrogated them. It was sent by Wu Magistrate, saying that we should see if we really left."

"Sure enough, there is a ghost!"

Zhu Youxiao General threw away the memorial in his hand and ordered:

"The county magistrate Wu was convicted of the county government's intent and sent someone to monitor the sages, and strictly examined all officials of the county government, and removed Wu Guofu from his official position. Yang Tinglin temporarily served as the county magistrate, and interrogated the specific whereabouts of Ge Daniu and others for the road blocking charges."
