Chapter 466: Paving the Way (Five Watches)
"Miss, you can't do anything illegal!" He Zhizhou couldn't help but persuade. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master Feng, I'll just say it, you asked me to help, but this person will definitely think that it is our Lin family who has taken advantage, otherwise, I will forget this matter. Lin Xi said helplessly.
"No, you can't forget it! My lord, you don't know, this eldest lady is pitying our Feng family, our Feng family's feng shui is not good, and we have to find a place to build another courtyard before we can transfer it. Now, our Feng family begs the eldest lady to sell the mountain, and the eldest lady is really for our good. The old man of the Feng family said, almost crying, he was nervous, a critical step, and he couldn't let people stir it up.
At this moment, all the heads and faces in the yamen came, and they were all curious about the Feng family's desire to buy the mountain, and they were even more curious when they heard that they were asking for such a high price. Until, after listening to the explanation of the Feng family's master, they only had one feeling, Feng was crazy!
"Master Feng, you have thought about it!" He Zhizhou reminded him kindly, he felt that for this reason, it was incredible, no, you could change your house, can you go to this extent?
"Think about it, think about it. Master Feng wiped the sweat from his head and said. He Zhizhou asked the master to continue writing.
It wasn't until the two sides signed and drew the pledge that Master Feng's heart fell, and he took the title deed of the mountain and looked at it again, and his heart was very happy. And Lin Xi was also happy, holding the mining rights of the river, and his heart was relieved.
She didn't fancy the gold in this river, she was just happy because she took their support from the Feng family. Taking other people's paths, so that others have no way out, Lin Xi feels that he has done a good job.
She promised Boss Tan to avenge him and make the Feng family's father and daughter ruined, she had to do it, and now, she feels that this goal is probably about to be achieved.
"Master Feng, now that the document has taken effect, your river is mine, in that case, within today, you can remove the person who manages the river. Also, pack up and go, don't take anything with you. Lin Xi said without any emotion.
"Naturally, naturally, the eldest lady can rest assured, it will not be entrained. The old man of the Feng family said this, his demeanor was very peaceful, and he didn't pay attention to Lin Xi's deliberate troubles.
"That's good, my people will go and watch it now, and you can know it yourself. Lin Xi smiled, but it was the kind of cold smile, and the people who watched it were very uncomfortable.
"Yes, yes, the eldest lady did a good job. "The master of the Feng family has Jin Shan in his hand, so he can't get angry.
The old man of the Feng family thought that he was about to have a golden mountain, and he was so excited that he turned his head, and said goodbye to Lin Xi and He Zhizhou in a humble and polite manner, and turned around and went home to gather people. He Zhizhou looked at such a Master Feng, and always had a feeling that he had taken a big advantage.
"Miss, why do I think this Master Feng has calculated on you? In that case, it seems that there is something hidden from us?" He Zhizhou said puzzled.
"He Zhizhou, I heard that the tax revenue of our Tiger Peak City has been very urgent recently?" Lin Xi said lightly.
"Yes, the eldest lady doesn't know, this year's weather is dry, the grain harvest has been reduced by two percent, the tax revenue is not good, and the people's life is not easy. He Zhizhou pretended to say, but it was true that the harvest was not good.
"Oh, in that case, let's see, is it exempting the people from part of the tax!" Lin Xi said, and a sentence made He Zhizhou stunned.
"What, eldest lady, this can't be done, this is an order from the imperial court, I don't dare to disobey it!" He Zhizhou sweated in an instant, how can this be done, how can it be done.
"He Zhizhou, the people of the world are the emperor's people, the people are difficult, the emperor is worried, you, as a courtier, won't you think of a way to relieve the emperor's worries?" Lin Xi said with a smile.
"What the eldest lady said is, but I don't know what the eldest lady means?" He Zhizhou asked puzzled.
"Okay, let me ask You Zhizhou, how much silver is the grain tax in this Tiger Peak City in a year?" Lin Xi asked.
"About six or seven hundred thousand taels. "He Zhizhou used the tax standards of previous years to calculate.
"Even if 700,000 taels is good, the situation of the people is not optimistic now, we can't let the people starve to death, in this case, why not let the rich families in the city think of a way. They have money in their hands. Lin Xi said with a smile.
"This, this is a good idea, but can everyone be willing to pay this money?" He Zhizhou was a little skeptical.
"If you are willing or not, it doesn't depend on what He Zhizhou says. Now it's for the emperor's worries, where can the subjects be unwilling. You must know that helping the people pay the money for food and taxes can also reflect the spirit of the people of Hufeng City uniting to share their worries for the saints. Lin Xi then persuaded.
"What the eldest lady said, I think it's okay. He Zhizhou thought about it, in this way, he can not only collect the tax money, but also exempt the people from paying taxes, and the people will repair for a year, and they will definitely have a good harvest in the coming year. Moreover, the extra part of the money collected is ...... Hey, hey, hey.
"I don't think there is more than one family, 10,000 taels, which means that. If you don't have enough, make up for it with the gold from this golden river. Lin Xi continued calmly, making He Zhizhou stunned.
"What do you mean, Miss?" He Zhizhou asked puzzledly, there were still people rushing to deliver money?
"My meaning is very simple, my Lin family is willing to take the lead in donating money to exempt the people from paying taxes this year. My Lin family is willing to take out the amount of gold withdrawn by Jinhe for three years, and pay taxes for the people in the next three years!"
Lin Xi said very angrily, and even He Zhizhou was stunned. Don't look at Lin Xi's gold production for three years, that's hundreds of thousands of taels a year. You know, this river of gold looks powerful, but there are a number of gold, and if it is mined for a few years, it will be just an ordinary river. Therefore, Lin Xi can really be called a big deal in doing this.
"Miss, you can think about it, your Jinhe may not be able to mine gold in two years. He Zhizhou couldn't believe that Lin Xi would do this.
"Naturally, I thought about it, it was originally sent by the Feng family, I don't care, I can do something good for the people, why not do it." Lin Xi said with a smile.
He Zhizhou: "......" If Master Feng heard you say this, I don't know if he would vomit blood, anyway, it was sent by someone, and it was cheap to pick up for nothing anyway, right?
"Hehe, the eldest lady is really broad-minded!" He Zhizhou said.
"I'm not broad-minded, but don't Lord He have to tell the court about such a good thing? Come to think of it, the court will also express it!" Lin Xi said with a smile, He Zhizhou suddenly realized, yes, such a big thing, I have to tell the court! The focus should also highlight the leading role of the eldest lady.
"The eldest lady reminds me, reminds me that I will arrange it. When the matter is done, I will report it to the imperial court!" He Zhizhou said excitedly, as if he had seen the scene of his promotion.
Lin Xi smiled faintly, she was not willing, nor was she broad-minded, she was just paving the way for herself.
