Chapter 20 Return the clothes
Through the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lord Wang summoned people from all walks of life to wait in the palace.
Zhu Yi also waited at the door of the government early in the morning. Like a flower holding a tray, it contains an ironed pen and a neatly folded Wang's clothes.
Xiao Si went in and passed through. At this time, Lord Wang was sitting on the top seat with a tired and speechless face, and Qian Xiucai was at the bottom left, talking nervously about his record just now, while Lord Wang listened to a black line, very helpless.
I thought that Qian Xiu was the best among several interviewers, and he looked relatively clever, but he barely remembered the point of his conversation with Boss Qian Zhuangyin just now! He squinted his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, do you want me to worry about these little things?
At this time, Xiao Si came in and asked to see Xia Tongyu Zhuyi, Lord Wang thought for a moment, nodded and motioned for Wu An to bring her over.
The people who come and go in the government are all acquaintances of Zhuyi:
"Uncle Zhang is good" and "Brother Li is good"......
"Zhuyi, your father is in the county government today, what's the matter with the black bag on your head?"
"Hehehe, I know. I was accidentally kicked in the head by a donkey......"
Wu An turned around with a frightened expression, are you sure it's appropriate to say that?
"Then you have to pay attention, the donkey's hooves are too strong, girls don't have scars"
Ruhua thought: No matter how much you persuade me, I didn't apply the ointment, and I deliberately combed my hair to show it, what should I do if I really left a scar.
......
Turn the antechamber and walk towards the middle courtyard.
But seeing that there were more than a dozen people sitting in the courtyard, they were the leading merchants in Chengdu Prefecture, and the silver boss who was coming out of the inner room had a solemn face, shook his head at the other merchants and left directly.
What is this doing? Lord Wang lost his temper again?
Zhuyi was a little cautious, took the tray, and stepped into the threshold. Sitting on it was still the noble young man, high up, deserted, and a little disdainful.
The bright black bag on the door of the head successfully attracted the attention of the person above, and all those bold words that day were drifting into his brain again. This drama spirit came back to life so quickly, and the exhaustion seemed to disappear somewhat...... Wang Jingxing beckoned and motioned for her to come to him. Zhu Yi lowered his head and bent over, with a tenacious and aggrieved look, obviously limping to death, but he still had to behave in a proper manner, and did not dare to shout and move to him......
Wang Jingxing thought, what's wrong with me, who do you feel wronged to?
He flipped through his clothes: "Why are there only four of the five white jade buttons?" and the collar has also collapsed. That's how you treat my clothes?"
This is to find my fault, Zhu Yi pounced and knelt down, his eyes were red but very hard, and said: "My lord, your clothes are only in the hands of Zhu Yi from beginning to end, I cherish it as if I cherish myself, I have never let it suffer the slightest grievance, and I have never lacked buttons and collars, my lord, look at my hands,...... "Seeing that tears are about to fall...... Wang Jingxing saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately cut it off:
"Wu An, prepare pen and paper. Xia Zhuyi, sit there and record. ”
......
If the clothes are not washed, I have to write in large letters? I can't pick up this topic...... A bunch of heartfelt words were not finished, and I felt uncomfortable, why do you want me to write, I will write.
But the body was very honest and dragged the injured leg to the side, spread out the paper and pen, and quietly waited for the next lamb to be slaughtered. Qian Xiucai on the side gave her a look of death.
Then came Liang Mingsen's father, the owner of the grain farm. After a few words of greeting, he got to the point like a homely conversation. Hold Boss Liang high, praise his business achievements, affirm his status in the industry and his achievements for the people of Shuzhong, and invite him to go to Beijing for development.
Boss Liang's nervous heart relaxed at the beginning, and then relaxed and vigilant...
Two quarters of an hour later.
Lord Wang: "Shuzhong is a place where crops are distributed everywhere, I roughly calculated, there are millions of loads of grain from your hands a year, don't talk about the price difference, just this road fee is also full of money." Why did he pay a tax of only 20,000 taels of silver? ”
Boss Liang was stunned and wiped his sweat, tax evasion is a crime. He struggled to recall which details revealed the year's turnover.
Xia Zhuyi gave his brother and his father a look: Lao Liang, Wang Jingxing deceived you, you stabilized......
Lao Liang is panicking, where can I take care of the little girl here...
Wang Jingxing's eyes flew over, and Zhu Yi immediately lowered his head and obediently took notes.
Lao Liang panicked: "Oh, although I am the general distributor, the profit is too thin." The purchase price of nine and a half copper plates is only sold for ten copper plates. ”
Wang Jingxing nodded clearly, "In this way, then plus the cost of manpower and material resources on the road, how can you be profitable, you are doing a loss-making business, you can eat enough for the people of our Shu, but you have lost yourself miserably." ”
"This and this, this is not the case, I have some advantages, some advantages are weak, and they will not lose money if they are integrated with each other. ”
"So what's the benefit?"
Well, I admit that I have evaded taxes: "My lord, please give me a chance to be a new person, and let me make up the taxes back, okay?"
"Hmm!", Lord Wang said with a sincere face, "This official is not here to oppress you, but to find a way to help you." More than you, I hope that you will make your career bigger and stronger and invigorate the economy. When the court is stable, you will have a better day to do business, so you must be worthy of the court's protection of you. You have money to make, I have performance to speak, we will do things well together, and we will all be happy"
Boss Liang nodded again and again with a layer of cold sweat on his back, what you say is what it is.
After Lao Liang left, Mr. Wang asked several key questions about the two paperwork, the type of grain, the scope of business, the purchase price and the season to get grain, and what time point was specifically mentioned when Boss Liang mentioned "there are people above".
Qian Xiucai looked confused and nervous again.
But Xia Zhuyi wrote it all down, and the answers were fluent, Wang Jingxing finally looked at her officially, and was slightly surprised in his heart.
The next salt, cloth, antiques, carpenters, construction, and bigwigs in the industry were all pulled by him one by one. But it is nothing more than to ask a few questions, whether tax evasion, whether any illegal means have been adopted, whether any violent means have been used, whether there is still the possibility of development and growth, and what is the bottleneck of the development of the industry. Finally, he told them that the emperor was also thinking about them all the time and thinking about solving their difficulties.
Zhu Yi vaguely sensed that he wanted to ask some other clues, but the question was not so straightforward.
When the conversation was over, Lord Wang asked them to leave the manuscript paper and go out.
Zhuyi didn't leave, I left, can you understand the content on the manuscript paper? She asked for a few larger pieces of white paper, and copied the industries she just asked, the prices, and the number of times that Lord Wang cared about one by one in the form of a table, which was clear at a glance, small and clear.
