Chapter XXXVII

In the Yanai of Heishui County, the county magistrate Dongfang Wei is playing with the dog.

Although he urged Wang Lanling in the morning and the farmland official at noon, he actually didn't know what to do.

If there was any way, he wouldn't be cursing all day long, he was more anxious than anyone else.

The two dogs raised next to him were both raised when they were in the army, and they had been raised for three or four years, and they were about the same size as calves, and ordinary people did not dare to approach them at all.

These two dogs can't do without meat, and if they don't eat meat, they won't have that ruthlessness.

You can't always see people, because when you see more people, it's easy to not be able to tell who is who.

Dongfang Wei has to spend more than a dollar every day to buy food for these two dogs, and he has to have a full meal every few days, and then maintain a half-full hunger state.

The two dogs are staying in the room, this room is located on the side of the yard, and it is usually locked, except for Dongfang Wei, others come in to feed the dogs.

Dongfang Wei cleaned the empty room for the two dogs by himself, and the two big dogs honestly nested aside and watched.

Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~

Dongfang Wei, who was cleaning the dog pen, heard the sound, walked out, put the broom next to the door, and bolted the door to the door.

More than ten meters away, stood his men, and there was a hand bell on the side of the wall.

"My lord! Wang Lanling sent someone to send you a letter, and the person who delivered the letter was the deputy over there. ”

Dongfang Wei walked over and took the letter.

The prefectural magistrate personally enlightened:

Lord Prefectural Commander, after returning from listening to the teachings of the prefectural government today, he meditated hard and thought about how to restore the farming.

After returning from my humble position, I was about to continue to meditate, when my subordinates heard about my concubine, and asked me if I wanted to find a house to house the concubine.

The humble was thinking about business, and when he heard this, he felt irritated, and waved his hand directly to let him go, and then continued to think about things.

I didn't want my subordinates to be clumsy and misunderstood the meaning of lowly duties, so I went to inquire.

At this time, the cloth merchant in the city learned that he had no place to live, so he paid money to bribe the lowly office, and was willing to offer the abandoned house by the river so that the lowly office could ask for a road seal for him to go to the county town to do business.

What a lowly person is the kind of person who will bend his waist for money!

Being so humiliated, when he was about to reprimand angrily, he thought that the adults were worried about the mulberry matter, so he endured it.

Heishui County needs mulberry wood, and even more needs mulberry cloth made of these mulberry silkworms, but this thing is not only available in Heishui County.

In this case, why not let these merchants find some mulberry cloth for us, as long as we do not lack mulberry cloth here, then the matter of mulberry wood can also be slowly figured out.

Now is an extraordinary time, and the lowly is willing to be a villain, do extraordinary things, and accept the gift of this profiteer to reassure his heart.

I also ask the merchant to give him a guide to the road, to supervise the matter, and to petition for supervision.

If he behaves, he is a little greedy, so why not let him have some?

If he doesn't know the proportions, if the eyes of the rats are bad for the big things in the county, then he will record them.

When the affairs of agriculture and mulberry are in order, it is the time to settle accounts after the autumn.

Dongfang Wei looked at the documents written by Wang Lanling and handed them over to his subordinates.

"I'll leave it to the county keeper."

"Yes!"

Dongfang Wei looked at his departing subordinates and smiled.

"Isn't there a way? This kid is so bad! ”

Dongfang Wei is very happy, he finally has a way!

This idea is very good, Dongfang Wei just looked at it once and felt that it could be used.

Since there is not enough meat at home to eat, then sprinkle some rice, recruit some wild boars and sparrows, and when you come in, close the cage and kill the pig for the New Year.

Dongfang Wei quickly got busy, his business ability is still very good, but he doesn't know what to do.

But if there is an order and a plan, he can carry it out well.

That's why he was able to manage a team in the army.

Officials who are selected through formal channels have their own professional abilities guaranteed, and those like Wang Lanling who join halfway are the minority of the minority.

Wang Lanling doesn't know history, and he doesn't really understand the strictness of this world.

The status of officials, workers, peasants, merchants, and businessmen was not good in this era.

When Emperor Yanwu was not yet famous, many big businessmen had many martial arts masters under their hands, and then these martial arts masters and businessmen were suppressed.

In terms of the degree of repression, the empire can be said to be unprecedented.

The officials and businessmen of the imperial court have gone through layers of assessments, and they are businessmen with official positions, and when they sit in that position, the administration is greater than the businessmen.

There are almost no big businessmen in the people, and they are all small businessmen with intelligence.

Businessmen are mercenary and pay attention to business profits, because they can't make money by paying attention to human feelings and national feelings, and they will not last long.

These merchants did not refer to small grocers such as merchants, but to a conglomerate of merchants who had become influential.

These people resold supplies outside during the war, the men were killed cleanly, and there are still wives and children working in brothels.

It is strictly forbidden to resell materials between states, especially in states such as Shanzhou and Muzhou, which are blocked by natural hazards.

Iron tools, craftsman skills, knowledge textbooks, this kind of things are strictly forbidden to be sold, and if you catch them, you will be killed, no matter who you are.

There are princes and grandsons who saw that this matter was highly profitable, and did it, and then they were killed, and they killed more than one son and grandson, and anyone who knew about it and did not report it was guilty of the same crime.

This is not what the old emperor did today, it was done by Emperor Yanwu, and no court minister or royal family dared to do such a thing after that.

Here in the Empire, it is politically correct to kill merchants, and private businessmen should be killed as long as they are rich.

In this kind of feudal empire, where power is absolutely concentrated, there is no place for capital to grow.

The capitalists could not even think of such a thing as influencing the country's decision-making.

Dongfang Wei has already thought about killing these profiteers for the New Year.

Collect their mulberry cloth and kill these profiteers in the fish and meat country!

It's like exterminating bandits and bandits, if you report this kind of thing, it will only be meritorious, and no one will ask why there are bandits here.

Dongfang Wei wrote a note and stamped it with the official seal, which was a license for the cloth merchant to trade between the counties.

Dongfang Wei gave him permission Yes, this is a normal procedure, the empire does not prohibit the trade of cloth, and each place has a few places to trade between counties.

Where is a businessman who is not greedy, Dongfang Wei is 100% sure that this businessman will definitely use that smart little melon to make a lot of money!

It's not a mistake to have money, it's easy to use, and it's a mistake to have money.

Dongfang Wei needs such a good citizen who can buy back the outside fabric and make a contribution to himself at the end of the year, how can he, the parent official, not seek justice for the people? !

Dongfang Wei personally summoned the cloth merchant, expressed his approval, gave him a pimp, and talked to him about the fabric.

After letting the cloth merchant leave, it was almost time to get off work, and Dongfang Wei went home and told his wife about this good thing.

Dongfang Wei's wife felt that this thing was right, and the businessman should be killed, and the innocent should also be killed.

Compared with the businessman's affairs, Dongfang Wei's wife is more concerned about the affairs of Wang Lanling, who often comes to the house for dinner.

"Is Xiao Wang's official going to buy a house? In what place? ”

Dongfang Wei drank wine and said in a good mood: "On the edge of the Heishui River, fifty meters away from the Blackfish Bridge. ”

After hearing this, Gao said: "It's not far from us, it's more than ten minutes to walk, but how did you buy a house by the river, this summer is full of insects and frogs, not to mention, it will be flooded in heavy rain, this businessman is a bad heart, bullying petty officials don't understand this." ”

After living by the river for a long time, it is easy to get sick, and most people are not very willing to live by the river.

Dongfang Wei patronized himself and was happy, and he thought about it when he heard this.

"I'll ask someone from the Construction Department to come over tomorrow to take a look, and if I can live in it, I'll fix it, and if I can't live in it, I'll build another house for him in another place."

After all, it is his own person, or the only person under his command who can come up with ideas, Dongfang Wei will take care of it more.
