"What do you mean?" Xiao Han felt more and more confused after listening to the words of the fat county magistrate. He frowned and said, "Even if Ningcheng is expanded, you will still be the county magistrate! When the time comes, you can still do it.

Continue to stay here, be your magistrate, and protect this land? Why do I listen to you? If Ningcheng gets bigger, you won’t stay here anymore?"

"Master Hou, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to stay even if I want to!"

Seeing this, the fat county magistrate shook his head and smiled miserably at Xiao Han and said, "Master Hou, you are in a high position and you don't know the difficulties of our subordinates! When Ning Cheng was young, he had no prospects, no money, and naturally nothing.

A person will take another look here, so I can live like a fish in water here!

But once Ningcheng expands and becomes a big city, then, Lord Marquis, do you think I, who have no roots, can continue to stay here? If nothing else, Lord Marquis, you have newly recruited King Luo Bin into the city.

, isn’t it just a ready-made example?”

The fat county magistrate stopped here and did not continue to speak, because he knew that if he continued to speak, he would violate a taboo.

However, even when he said this, Xiao Han understood clearly what he meant.

In fact, after so many days of getting along with each other, Xiao Han found that aside from his stupid body shape, the fat man was not bad at all in terms of his wisdom as an official or his skills as a herdsman!

This can be seen from the resettlement of the refugees outside the city and the comfort of the people inside the city!

Not everyone in this world has the ability to arrange tens of thousands of refugees in a clear and flawless manner!

If you can do this, let alone a small county magistrate, even if you bring a magistrate over, Xiao Han feels that what he does may not be better than the fat man in front of him!

Moreover, in addition to ability, what is even more rare is that

The fat county magistrate in Ningcheng was able to avoid corruption and at the same time blend in with the wealthy people in the city. There was no trace of any barriers between them.

This is really rare!

Because in the Tang Dynasty, there were officials who were neither corrupt nor corrupt, and there were many of them, such as Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng!

But compared with these "honest officials" who are just annoying and want to avoid them as soon as they meet, the fat man's integrity is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making people not feel the slightest discomfort.

Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!

Sitting in the position of Fat County Magistrate, not accepting bribes is a more difficult task than collecting bribes!

It is almost an impossible task to do your job well without taking bribes, unite big households, win over small households, and take care of the people. But the fat county magistrate did it!

Thinking of this, Xiao Han suddenly understood why the fat county magistrate resisted Ning Cheng getting bigger!

Because as he said, when Ningcheng changes and more people and forces settle in it, it will probably be extremely difficult for the fat county magistrate to have the same influence as he does now!
