37. Assassination

Prices in the town immediately went up quite a bit.

The poor are very sensitive to prices, especially the displaced people who have just settled here, they can tolerate the world being fake, but they cannot tolerate money becoming "fake".

Everyone was a little restless.

As the nominal mayor of the town, Liang Qishi was the most irritable, and the office put pressure on him to implement the Northwest currency and ban the Beiling currency, while the people below were complaining and disagreeing, and he was caught in the middle.

"It's all a bunch of white-eyed wolves," Liang Qishi complained to Ji Mo in the town's town office, "It's better not to miss my past!"

Ji Mo spread his hands and said, "People's hearts are like this, if you beat him and make his face hurt, he will ask you why you hit him."

You give him candy, but he doesn't ask anything, or even say thank you. ”

Liang Qishi said, "You kid can't think of a way?"

Ji Mo said, "The 200,000 troops of Beiling went south, and there was a shortage of materials, so the price naturally rose, and the account was money, and in the face of huge military expenditures, it was easiest to open a money printing machine." ”

Liang Qishi glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "I didn't expect you kid to understand this." ”

Ji Mo said with a smile, "There are brief introductions in these books, but if this battle is won, the territory is expanded, and when the time comes, Nanyang Province will also use the banknotes of the Beiling Bank, then all of them will be earned."

If you lose, then Northridge has to pay. ”

Liang Qishi said, "The banknotes of Nanyang Province in the hands of the common people are all waste paper."

I still have a big box of military tickets issued during the Liang period, and it's hard to wipe my buttocks. ”

Ji Mo sighed and said, "I just don't have any money, if I have money, I will exchange it all for gold bars and hoard it, and I will make a steady profit when the time comes." ”

Gold in troubled times, no matter what era it is placed in, what time and space will never be wrong.

Liang Qishi said, "What did you just say?"

Ji Mo said, "I said hoarding gold bars." ”

Liang Qishi patted his head and shouted, "Oh, you said that my brain, all day long, thinking about something useless." ”

Without waiting for Ji Mo to respond, he picked up the hat on the table and hurried away.

The Dadongling Public Office officially set up an entry checkpoint at the southern end of the Dadongling Ridge and began to collect toll tax.

And only the currency of the Northwest Province is accepted.

The Dadongling gentry, especially the businessmen, who never paid grain or taxes, complained.

This is to rip out their hearts.

Including Liang Qishi, they also scolded three times a day, they have five or six big cars to and from various places every day, transporting leather goods, tobacco leaves, and mountain goods, and they don't smoke much at a time, but they accumulate over time and grab money!

The most important thing is that this has a beginning, so land tax, fishery tax, salt tax, mining tax, business tax, slaughter tax, deed tax, car donation, ship donation, dock donation, is it also fast?

In order to cope with the toll tax on the road, the shopkeepers and rich men of each family sent their men to the town office to exchange the northwest banknotes.

Without Northwest banknotes, their goods can't go out and can't come in.

Counting the ocean in his hand, Ji Mole sighed a lot.

However, a few days later, the Northwest Office sent another official letter stating that all towns and villages must speed up preparations for the establishment of security teams.

This money is not hot.

The cold air from the northwest is coming urgently, and the temperature drops three times a day.

But it still hasn't gone down because of the heat caused by taxes.

Ji Mo wrapped He Ran thickly early in the morning, revealing only his two eyes.

"Uncle, I'm not cold. He Ran protested, her hands couldn't come out with such long sleeves.

"I think you should be cold, and it's right to wear thicker. Ji Mo still insisted on wrapping the scarf around her.

After a period of getting along, he felt that Xiao He Ran obviously relied on and trusted him a lot.

After he sent He Ran to school, he didn't delay inside, turned around and came out.

As soon as I got out of the school gate, I ran into Qiu Ling who was squatting at the door.

"Something is wrong!" Qiu Ling saw Ji Moteng jump up.

"Nothing but death. Ji Mo said disapprerovingly.

Qiu Ling said impatiently, "Ying Lifei was assassinated, this is not a big deal?"

"It's really a big deal," Ji Mo twisted his eyebrows and asked, "No, what are you nervous about? Does it have anything to do with you whether you die or not?"

Qiu Ling said, "If he dies, won't my security team be yellow?"

He, the captain of the security guard, has always been the commander of the light pole!

is preparing to recruit troops, if Ying Lifei is gone at this moment, he thinks that he, the security captain, is probably useless.

He hasn't experienced the feeling of holding the whole book in his hand and being majestic!

Ji Mo smiled and said, "You kid, hey, being a Shangguan is not a good bird." ”

Qiu Ling said, "Old pimple, don't worry, I'm a big official, I'm not greedy, I'll just wait for others to send me money." ”

Ji Mo said angrily, "Corruption and bribery are connected, what's the difference?"

Qiu Ling said, "I'm no longer a human being, and I can't be greedy for your money, I take other people's money into my pocket, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Liang Qishi couldn't look down on the funds of the town office, and he didn't have the time to manage it, so he was appointed as the deputy mayor.

The deputy mayor of the town, who is also an accountant, has taken that money seriously since the banknotes of the Northwest Bank can be exchanged for the ocean, and he also accused Qiu Ling of spending money indiscriminately.

Qiu Ling interpreted it as Ji Mo's private property.

He certainly can't be greedy.

Ji Mo actually felt that what he said was reasonable, and he was speechless.

This kid is a fucking talent!

Ji Mo then asked, "Is Ying Lifei dead?"

Qiu Ling said, "No, last noon, Ying Lifei's wife had her eightieth birthday, and before she had eaten the meal, three guys popped out, click, click, just a few shuttles, Ying Lifei's brother Feng Dadao blocked a shot for him, and he choked on the spot."

If it weren't for his brother standing in his way, it would have been cold. ”

Ji Mo sighed and said, "It's a pity. ”

If Ying Lifei dies, it is estimated that he, the deputy mayor, will no longer have to be involved, and he will not have anything to do with it in the future, and he can live his own life in peace.

Qiu Ling nodded and said, "It's a pity, Feng Dadao is the second leader of Laotou Mountain, a very righteous person, and if he says no, he will be gone." ”

Ji Mo shook his head, and the two went back to the town office.

Liang Qishi also got the news of Ying Lifei's assassination, and said to Ji Mo, "Hurry up and build a security team, otherwise you will definitely be angry at us when you turn around, and we won't be able to get better." ”

Ji Mo smiled bitterly, "This amount of money can't be collected for twenty people." ”

"Then recruit from among the outcasts. Liang Qishi thought about it and said, "Give a piece of ocean a month, is there more." ”

Qiu Ling was puzzled, "This is too little." ”

Liang Qishi glared at Qiu Ling, and said angrily, "Do you know that in the south, you can't get a piece of ocean for three months when you are a soldier?"

Eating empty salaries and even drinking soldiers' blood is the norm in the army.

Ji Mo said, "The homeless people are not stupid, and they won't be happy. ”

Liang Qishi slapped the table and said angrily, "They dare not listen to it! Otherwise, they won't have to stay in our ancient town!"

The people in this township are all villagers, and he can't lose that face, so he has nothing to do.

But can he still deal with the outcasts?
