"I don't know if Patriarch Gong represents your personal suspicion of my ability to represent the government, or on behalf of all the people of your Jincheng?"
"What's the difference?" Gong Zhenghai scolded angrily: "Jincheng is obviously a fief given by the emperor to the four princes, you are just the abandoned concubine of the four princes, why do you govern Jincheng on behalf of the four princes?"
"Of course there is a difference, if you are representing you personally, Patriarch Gong, I tell you, you have no right to question me!"
Mu Xiaoluo smiled and stretched out her hand to point at the few pedants: "If you are representing the people of Jincheng, you don't have this right...... Because they won't agree!"
Gong Zhenghai looked at Zhu Min, a little dumbfounded, silent for a while, and squeezed out angrily: "Anyway, you are in charge of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you have to give me an explanation, you don't care about this thief?
"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court?" Mu Xiaoluo sneered: "Patriarch Gong, you are too forgetful, how did the soldiers of the former county government run away, you stayed in Jincheng longer than me, you should know better than me! The imperial court has never taken silver to distribute their money, how can they still be regarded as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court! Now they eat with my surname Mu's offerings...... Whose soldiers do you think they are? Since they are my people, why should I let them do things for nothing?"
"You want to blackmail!" Gong Zhenghai gasped and looked at Yang Xi for help, he was already out of words, he didn't expect Mu Xiaoluo to be so difficult. Please search (product @ book ¥ net) to see the most complete!
Mu Xiaoluo smiled: "Blackmail? Patriarch Gong, you are confused, no matter how poor my surname Mu is, I haven't reached out to ask you for a tael of silver, how can this blackmail begin? Be careful to speak, the people here are all famous people in your Jincheng, don't say it and make people laugh ......at it."
Yang Xi received Gong Zhenghai's request for help, but it was not easy to interject, Mu Xiaoluo's every word was implied, he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into her trap and be coerced by her to make an unequal treaty......
Gong Zhenghai was angry for a long time, pointed at her and scolded: "You ...... What kind of attitude do you have? Human lives are at stake...... Do you want to take human life?"
Mu Xiaoluo smiled: "Human life is at stake?" Hehe, Patriarch Gong, 50,000 taels of silver is not a difficult thing for you at all, why don't you hurry up and hand it over to Lu Zhong? I think, Ling Gongzi will not be worth the 50,000 taels of silver in your eyes! Hehe...... Mr. Zhu, you can't compare this person with a human being, right? You are so worried that you are dying of a few thousand taels of silver, but the patriarch of Gong will not feel distressed if he takes out 50,000 taels of silver!"
Zhu Min and the others looked at Gong Zhenghai with some disdain, shook their heads and didn't answer.
A Xiangkun who came with Gong Zhenghai spoke for Gong Zhenghai dissatisfied: "Third Miss, you can't say that! Patriarch Gong also made this decision out of desperation for his son's life...... That's white silver, who wouldn't feel distressed!"
Mu Xiaoluo nodded: "Yes, I said the wrong thing! Accompany Patriarch Gong here, silver and life are equally important, and losing anything is the same sad...... It's just that Patriarch Gong ...... I want to ask, you should not worry about no one to rescue Ling Gongzi if you raise your own escort team, right? And you give the kidnappers silver once or twice...... Then why don't you come to me this time with the same money for the kidnappers?"
"Aren't you representing the government, if the people are in trouble, who will the government look for?" But it can't be recovered......
I saw Mu Xiaoluo stand up, "snap" and slammed the booklet in her hand on the table, smiled coldly, and said: "Very good, you admit that I am the government, and you also admit that you are the people, then today I promise on behalf of the government that as long as the government should do something, I will take responsibility and not shirk it." That...... Do you dare to take up your responsibilities and be law-abiding—good citizens?"
Those Xiangkun were silent, and they all swept their eyes to Yang Xi and Gong Zhenghai, what this promise meant, who doesn't know!
Mu Xiaoluo didn't want them to answer, and said with a cold smile: "You can not say anything, but there is one thing I want to tell you, my patience is very good, and I have always been safe with everyone when I first came to Jincheng, that is because I like Jincheng very much, and I want to stay here with you for many years or a lifetime." If you give me face, then I am happy to maintain a cordial friendship with you. If you don't give face...... That's something you can't force on......"
She pondered for a moment, letting everyone understand what she was going to do after she was "reluctant", and when Gong Zhenghai's face was uncertain and conjecturing, Mu Xiaoluo smiled meaningfully: "I like a principle pursued by your family very much...... Strength is the ...... Hehe, it's hard for you to get our barracks around on weekdays, otherwise, let General Yu take you around, experience our barracks life, if you don't dislike it, just have lunch here! I'm tired, let's go and rest first...... Everybody's forgiveness!"
After Mu Xiaoluo finished speaking, she naturally walked out, leaving everyone to look at each other. Some people wanted to leave, but when they saw Gong Zhenghai and Yang Xi, they didn't move, and they didn't dare to move.
Zhu Min snorted and said, "Patriarch Gong and Patriarch Yang, you guys go around with General Yao, a few of us come often, so we won't join in the fun!"
Jiang Yu quietly walked up to Gong Zhenghai and stretched out his hand: "Patriarch Gong Patriarch Yang, please ......"
Yang smiled, pulled Gong Zhenghai, who was stunned, and said, "Go and see it!"
As a group of people walked out, Zhu Min coughed lightly, and said with some meaning: "A few people look good! I am very emotional when I see it, there are no dog girls in the gate, what I said is really good! As a citizen of Jincheng, I am very emotional that there can be such a team to maintain the peace of Jincheng, and I hope that this peace can continue to be maintained...... Don't do anything, this is something that everyone and the common people are happy to see!
"yes...... Yes, and for your ......," several other pedants nodded in agreement.
Yang Xi and Gong Zhenghai followed Jiang Yu out with a calm face, and the people of Jincheng didn't want to see the civil war? Could it be that Zhu Min was hinting that they didn't listen to Mu Xiaoluo's words, this was the inevitable result?
The two of them sneered disapprovingly, and after Jiang Xi turned around the barracks and looked at the soldiers who were in strict training, they were completely gone, replaced by a shock and palpitations......
People who do business have not traveled from south to north, and Yang Xi is also a person who has seen the world, and the shock brought to him by this circle is unprecedented. He has seen the Imperial Forest Army, and he has also seen the elite divisions of other countries, if he wants to compare the team he has seen with Mu Xiaoluo's team, then he will say four words: incomparable!
It is indeed incomparable, in terms of military appearance and military discipline, not to mention the seemingly unbelievable training, as well as the fighting shown to them...... Wait a minute......
Yang Xi didn't want to admit that this was strength, after all, they were just very shallow 'eyes', but such unconfirmed 'sights' made them frightened, and they paid for whether the guards formed by their own oolong could withstand the fight in the hands of others......
And looking at each other, the ashes on each other's faces made them clear about Zhu Min's hint just now, "Harmony is precious", and the aftermath behind Mu Xiaoluo's "reluctantly......
Could it be that he was so shocked that he obediently became a good citizen from now on, paid taxes conscientiously, and obeyed the dispatch of the government? Gong Zhenghai was still unwilling, but the merchants and people in Jincheng all regarded him as the head of the horse, and when he fell, did he still expect others to carry the banner against Mu Xiaoluo?
Letter to the people
After a turn in the barracks, Gong Zhenghai and Yang Xi both looked worried, and those villagers were also silent.
Gong Zhenghai had the heart to say goodbye, but he had the heart to take a chance, such a team shot, his son would definitely be able to come back safely! It's just that the thought of compromising and paying taxes made his flesh hurt again, this is the bottom line, and he can't back down!
Paradoxically ate a lunch that was "pig food" in the eyes of the rich gentry, and when he returned to the "conference room", he didn't see Mu Xiaoluo, but saw Xie Weihong, Luo Linhai, Yan Junlang, and some other common Jincheng tycoons.
What kind of drama is this singing? Gong Zhenghai had an ominous premonition, this Mu Xiaoluo invited everyone here, did she want to use the momentum of the military camp to deter everyone and coerce everyone to pay taxes?
Everyone looked at each other, Luo Linhai was very calm, sitting alone and not communicating with others, looking at his nose and nose like an old monk.
Yang Xi sighed, also pulled a chair and sat down, today I sent it to the door, if Mu Xiaoluo didn't take the opportunity to solve this contradiction that had existed for many years, she wouldn't be worthy of surviving in Jincheng.
When everyone was shocked, Jiang Yu came in with Master Qian Shuang from the original county government and Yuan Ming beside Mu Xiaoluo.
Jiang Yu calmly stood up at the table and said, "The third lady has long wanted to invite everyone to sit down, but she has never had the opportunity. Today, I just met Patriarch Gong and Patriarch Yang who came to the military camp as guests, so I wanted to take this opportunity to invite everyone to gather. It's not a big deal, just ask you to visit our barracks, and let Mr. Yuan give you a lesson by the way......"
He stretched out his finger and pointed at Yuan Ming, and introduced: "This Mr. Yuan is a well-known bookkeeper in the capital, and he has unique features in business and accounting. Everyone is in business, in order to help everyone's business get bigger and bigger, Miss San specially invited him to exchange experience with everyone. Let Mr. Yuan talk first...... If you don't want to listen, you can go, we don't force it. ”
They were all invited, and there were soldiers standing guard outside, who dared to go easily, and see that everyone was not moving, they only had to listen honestly.
Yuan Ming**** has a straight and round Beijing accent, and the things he tells everyone have nothing to do with the government, they are all business talks, such as how to settle accounts, how to open the market, and how to control costs......
These people here are all businessmen, even if they are almost some, they are all worthy, they will all be what Yuan Ming said, but it will be one thing, and being proficient is another.
The truth may be decent, but many people have never heard of such a systematic and advanced method. With your years of experience in business, you all understand that Yuan Ming's words are not empty rhetoric, but a really effective method.
It is related to their own vital interests, and everyone listened with great interest, and it is estimated that they have never studied with the teacher so seriously back then. Even the treacherous and cunning Yang Xi nodded frequently, appreciating Yuan Ming's point of view to his heart.
Yuan Ming announced that he had finished speaking for two pillars of incense, and these wealthy businessmen were rising when they heard it, and they were shouting for Yuan Ming to talk more, Yuan Ming coughed lightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Today, I am just communicating with you on the orders of Miss San, and if I continue to talk about it, it will delay everyone's time, if everyone thinks that the things in Yuan Ming's belly are valuable, there will be opportunities for communication." Yuan Ming promised the third lady that when the school in the development zone is built, she will serve as a teacher of business science, and everyone is welcome to give advice when the time comes!"
Yuan Ming left the scene after speaking, which surprised everyone, especially Gong Zhenghai, who thought that Yuan Ming would use this to say something like asking everyone to donate money to build a school, and people with this idea seemed to be the majority.
Yuan Ming left, Mu Xiaoluo came on the stage, and everyone who was still talking just now suddenly calmed down, understanding that this was the main event.
Regarding the matter of paying taxes, Mu Xiaoluo has always advocated cold treatment, so she has not used force until today. It is true that with their current strength, it is easy to coerce several major families to pay taxes, but the effect achieved in this way will also bring negative emotions, she wants a united Jincheng, not a divided and independent Jincheng, so she would rather spend more time for these people to pay taxes willingly than use force.
Now, she felt that it was time to take back the power of the government, and she was not polite, she swept around the crowd lightly, without missing anyone, and then said: "You have already listened to Mr. Yuan's cost calculation method, and you are very emotional, right? I don't have anything new to teach you, so let Master Qian, who you are familiar with, discuss this issue with you again! If you have any objections, you can also discuss with me, and we can learn from each other!"
After all, he was an official of the county government, Qian Shuang's discussion was not as gentle as Yuan Ming's, he stood up and handed out a booklet to everyone one by one, Yang looked at the names on the booklet, and was a little surprised, what is this?
When it was sent to his hand and opened it, Yang Xi was stunned, and first stared at Mu Xiaoluo contradictoryly, and then lowered his head to look at it. This look of cold sweat began in the palm of his hand and spread to his back, and this booklet is estimated to be no more detailed than this by his bookkeeper.
It records the Yang family's industry, large and small, without omission. The number of workers in each industry, the number of people in the family, and the monthly expenses of the guards are all clearly registered on it, and finally the taxes that the Yang family should pay every month are calculated, and the comparison between these taxes and the expenses of the Yang family's guards is calculated......
According to Yuan Mingjiao's cost calculation method just now, the silver that the Yang family should pay taxes is only one-tenth of the guards!
Yang Xi looked at this list in a daze, and in addition to his heart palpitations, there was a kind of doubt, how could he do such a loss-making thing by himself? Is it to see that everyone is raising it, and he is also raising it, or is he already accustomed to such a way of life following tradition?
Looking at the other people in a blink of an eye, the expressions that were similar to him were all palpitating and dazed. The palpitation is that Mu Xiaoluo has mastered so many situations, but they don't know anything, if people want to attack them, it is many times more terrifying than those bandits!
