readx;?♂,
The new magistrate is called Gu Zhutong, and he is also an alternate official, who has been in the capital all these years, is the material for helping, because the calligraphy is well written, and some words are sold in the capital, and the life is naturally relatively poor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEspecially the candidate to the god county, but the average person can't get it, without the filial piety of 1o million taels of silver, it is almost impossible to wait for the god in the county. But Gu Zhutong is lucky, several bigwigs in the ministry have their own candidates, and if they don't give in to each other, Gu Zhutong will be wiped out, and even Gu Zhutong himself didn't expect it.
Gu Zhutong also heard in the capital that Shenwu County is a rich county, and it is the benefit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to know the county in a year, and it is said that there can be 1oo taels of silver. Gu Zhutong is a candidate for Shenwu County, and his heart is happy, that is, several Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials have handed over the words, as long as Gu Zhutong takes office, don't forget to honor himself, Gu Zhutong will be full of promises. ===Breaking the Sky Comics/CX16/===.
Before coming to Shenwu County, Gu Zhutong went to Hu's Qianzhuang in the capital to borrow 1o thousand taels of silver as his own entanglement, and spent money in the capital to hire a copywriter and a money and grain master, and brought his family members to Shenwu County happily. Then it was handed over to the original magistrate Lu Yanshou, Gu Zhutong hit the master to hand over, and the master was happy as soon as he handed over, and the yamen of the magistrate of Shenwu County really did not have a penny deficit, and there was a surplus of 500 million taels of silver on the books, and the annual fire consumption of silver was 5o thousand taels, and the fire consumption in the second half of this year has not been collected, which made Gu Zhutong happy to death.
The handover was very smooth, and Lu Yanshou soon took office, so Gu Zhutong invited the master of Shenwu County and asked, "Lord Xing, there are 500 million taels of silver in this county, what's going on?" Why is it that there is only a number, and there is no actual cash, and it is not in the treasury of the county? Xing Mantang saw that the county magistrate asked, and returned respectfully: "Lord Gu, that's the case, because Lord Cheng of Longxian County advocated the construction of a new city, the area of the city has expanded several times, and there are a lot of idle homesteads, and Longxian Cheng advocated selling them to businessmen in the county, and the homestead in the county was sold out, and it was sold for 500 million taels of silver, so much cash is not safe in the county, and the original Lord Lu of Zhixian County was deposited in Hu's money village."
Gu Zhutong has a thought, this fetish county, there is also a powerful person is the county Cheng, although he saw himself in a hurry when he came to take office, he did not have a deep friendship, it seems that he wants to have a lot of contacts with the county Cheng, otherwise his own county will not be able to carry out his work. However, Gu Zhutong still didn't understand, so he asked Xing Mantang: "Master Xing, these 500 million taels of silver belong to the county yamen, how did they save it, whether it is current or fixed, can it be taken out?" ”。 Xing Mantang: "The original Lord Lu, what he saved was a dead period, a five-year period, and he could only take out 100 million taels a year, which is okay", Gu Zhu listened to it, and his heart blossomed, my God, 100 million a year, that is a huge amount of money, and he is a powerful flower, and he can't spend it.
However, Gu Zhutong's money and grain master poured a scoop of cold water on Gu Zhutong after his words: "Lord Gu, this Shenwu County is really very rich, and some things are silver, but this is all official silver, and it can't be moved, my lord should think of a way to hurry up and replace the silver borrowed from the capital first, after all, there is a percent interest." When Gu Zhu heard this, he felt that this was also the first priority, so he discussed with the chief bookkeeper whether to collect the fire consumption in the second half of the year, and the chief bookkeeper Xing Mantang naturally heard from the county, so he arranged for someone to go.
The most important thing at present is to find a way to exchange 1o thousand taels of silver, first plug the hole in the Hu family's money village, although it is a term of borrowing for more than a year, and the interest is 10,000 taels, but if you change it earlier, you will be relieved, and you will be debt-free and light. Gu Zhutong invited Xing Mantang to his home and let his family get good wine and food, Gu Zhutong wanted to get close to Xing Mantang, trying to get the master bookkeeper to come up with some way.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gu Zhutong spoke: "Master Xing, you are also the old master, right?" When Xing Mantang heard this, he was very proud: "Yes, Master Gu, I have boiled five governors, plus you are sixth, I am the master of iron, the magistrate of flowing water, hehe." Gu Zhutong put on a high hat for Xing Mantang: "Master Xing, you are also an old man, this county is a newcomer, and you need a lot of advice." Xing Mantang saw that the new magistrate valued himself so much, and his heart was also happy: "Lord Gu has won the award, as long as the adult has something to ask, I know everything and say everything."
Gu Zhutong saw that it was almost over, so he asked: "Shenwu County is a rich county, with a large number of businesses and shops, I heard that there are only 15oo Qinglou, and there are more than 10,000 shops, so many shops, there are always some taxes and regulations." That's how they are charged? ”。 As soon as Xing Mantang heard it, he knew that Gu Zhutong wanted to ask for his own words, the tax was in charge of himself, and it was more than 1ooo taels every year, but it was all the imperial grain and national tax, even if the county was awesome, he didn't dare to use it, only those rules and regulations were the small treasury in the county, but they were all in charge of Longxian Cheng, so it was not up to him, if he was careless and offended Longxian Cheng, it was not fun, Longxian Cheng had a relationship with the sky.
Xing Mantang smiled: "Lord Gu, the tax is in my charge, there are more than 1ooo every year, which cannot be moved at all, the money is in the hands of Lord Chenglong in the county, how much is it, it is not within my jurisdiction, you have to ask Lord Long." Gu Zhu heard the same thing, and saw that Xing Mantang was vague, so he was a little dissatisfied: "Master Xing, how much is the annual silver of Longxian Cheng, you should probably know, is it public, don't you know this master book?" ”。 Xing Mantang saw that the county magistrate was a little dissatisfied, so he hurriedly explained: "Lord Gu, Long County Cheng is a figure who stands up to the sky in Shenwu County, the three elder brothers are martial arts champions, the general of the imperial town, either a concubine or a county horse, and there are even more powerful, Lord Long has a very close relationship with the backer prince, to say something unpleasant, don't talk about the county, it is the governor of our Dalu County, and when you see Lord Long, you are also respectful, but don't say that I didn't remind you, Lord Gu, you still have to discuss with Lord Long, don't have anything wrong."
When Gu Zhu heard this, he was surprised for a while. When he was in the capital, he just knew that Shenwu County was a rich county, but he didn't expect that there was such a character, but he had to be cautious. Seeing that the main book didn't dare to say how much money the county had in the specific regulations, Gu Zhutong knew that the power of Long County Cheng in Shenwu County was the highest in the sky, and it was not something that his own county could control, so Gu Zhutong had an idea.
A few days later, Gu Zhutong asked his family to get wine and food, and invited Long Xiao to his father's office. When Long Xiao saw that the new magistrate was inviting himself, he knew that it must have something to do with money and food, so he asked with a smile: "Master Gu, it should be the lower official to invite you to the banquet, you will have a banquet for me first, the lower official is a little scared", Gu Zhu saw that Long Xiao spoke very kindly, and his heart was relieved, as long as there was a discussion, he would have a way to do it. Gu Zhutong said very modestly: "This county has a seven-grade county order, which is really not enough to worry about, new arrivals, some things are not very well understood, and please ask Lord Long to give me advice."
Long Xiao saw that Gu Zhutong was very humble, and he knew it in his heart, so he didn't hide it: "Master Gu, did you borrow silver taels in the capital and are in a hurry to repay the debt?" Gu Zhu was embarrassed for a while, and said the truth: "Yes, I am a new official, and I want to invite the master, and I want to ask for money and food, which can't be beaten without tens of thousands of taels of silver, so I borrowed 1o million taels of silver from Hu's Qianzhuang, and the term is one year, I'm not afraid that I can't afford to change it, but if I exceed the deadline, it won't sound good, and I ask Lord Long to think of a way for me."
Long Xiao smiled: "Well, it's a little meaning, as long as I put it, I will first allocate 2o thousand taels of silver to you from the regular regulations of the county yamen, and you will also replace the arrears, and you are cleaning up the housework, okay?" ”。 Gu Zhu heard the same thing, and before he could open his mouth, he was given 2o thousand taels of silver, and he was also happy in his heart. However, in the blink of an eye, it was also Longxian Cheng who was powerful, and he blocked his back road all of a sudden, and he originally wanted to set up Longxiao's tone to see how much oil and water there was in the county, and he would share a little more in the future, but it seems that it is not possible now, and he needs to think about it in the long run. Long Xiao took out 2o thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Gu Zhutong, Gu Zhutong was not polite, so he put it away, and then he sincerely toasted with Long Xiao, and the two of them drank a drink.
