"Please wait!" Miao Dalang got up.

Lu Ning seemed to have been just drinking tea quietly, and he heard that Miao Dalang had gone to the back house, but he told Miao that he wanted to redeem her.

Miao seemed to be taken aback, and said no, under the pressure of Miao Abshi, she just cried.

In the end, Miao Dalang had no choice but to turn around.

But he looked at Lu Ning's eyes, but he was not as friendly as before, I think he thinks his sister is beautiful, needless to say, this maid is actually a maidservant, but she is not a real concubine, she is the lowest status among the maids who have a physical relationship with the master, and the maid is actually a kind of maidservant, from a certain point of view, it is not as good as a real maid.

Lu Ning took out a silver ingot, "Oshi, this is ......"

Before the words fell, Miao Dalang had already snorted coldly, "I heard that you have this little belongings, so keep it, come to me again the day after tomorrow, and I will take you to the Yasi." Obviously, the Department of Commerce and Taxation has just been established independently, and the personnel are not neat, so he can naturally recommend it with some strength.

Lu Ning nodded, he already played the role of being withdrawn and didn't like to talk, and he didn't save too much falsification between words, flattery, etc., which was not his character.

In his previous life, he mainly carried out all kinds of violent secret affairs.

"I don't know why Sixth Sister is afraid of you here! I will check slowly, from today onwards, if you don't treat the sixth sister well, don't regret not listening to me today! When he said this, Miao Dalang's expression was extremely grim.

He didn't know that in terms of identity, he was an official, but his sister was already an eight-rank official.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, this Miao Dalang is a character, and he felt something unusual from the trembling appearance of the Miao family when he mentioned himself, but he was free to check it.

In the future, he will be in the yamen of the commercial tax department during the day, and he will become a leprosy master at night to strike iron, they are two different characters, and those apprentices in the military iron shop have no contact with the outside world at all, and Miao Dalang can't find out anything at all.

……

The Yamen of the Commercial Taxation Department is not far from the Chunhe Tower, so Lu Ning has become Wen Ada, a clerk of the Yamen of the Commercial Taxation Division, who rents in the Chunhe Building, during the day, and has become a leprosy master who works in the military iron shop.

A few days after Lu Ning entered the yamen of the Department of Commerce and Taxation, the two-story small wooden building he rented opposite the Chunhe Building, there was a few Qingpi led by the steward of the Liu Mansion to inform him, because of the new policy of King Qi, the rental money was increased to six times a year, and the green skin was even more verbally threatening.

Sure enough, two days later, the eight-product inspector of the Commercial Tax Department also came to visit, entered a few households, and the result of the inquiry was naturally the cost of renting a house, which was the same as before.

In the Commercial Tax Division, the prices of various industries in the Daimyo Prefecture began to be registered at this time, which was used as the basis for taxation.

But needless to say, for example, the hundreds of houses rented out by the Liu family in Guangning Fang are a little higher than before.

Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg, but it is conceivable that many of the high-ranking mansions of the Daimyo Mansion are like the Liu family, who deceive and transfer all taxes to civilians, hired workers, etc., and take advantage of the new policy to make money.

There were many complaints, and even in the Chunhe Building, there were few guests, who talked about it after drinking, and also scolded the new deal.

These guests naturally didn't know that they had all walked around the Hades Palace, and if it weren't for King Qi's strict orders, their heads would have been twisted off one by one by the bull-like shopkeeper.

……

The Yamen of the Commercial Taxation Department of the Daimyo Mansion is on the street where the Chunhe Building is located, which was originally the house of the former imperial family, and now the imperial family does not know where it went, and its land and real estate are all levied for public use, and a set of three-entry courtyards has been slightly renovated and has become the Yamen of the Commercial Taxation Division.

The Department of Commercial Taxation is probably the only one in charge of the officials but with a separate government office since the dynasties.

The director of the Commercial Tax Department is surnamed Deng, and the deputy director is surnamed Ma, except for an unsociable Liu Zhusi, Miao Dalang is obviously the first among the rest of the charges, and he has a very close relationship with Deng Zhi.

Lu Ning, a clerk, is also Miao Dalang's relationship, and no matter how Lu Ning hides it, but since he didn't wrap himself in rags and disguise himself as dysentery, he just looks different from others, clean and refreshing, which makes people like it when they look at it, and they will give birth to a close heart.

In the yamen, although Miao Dalang didn't care much about Lu Ning, everyone else thought that Miao Dalang was avoiding suspicion and was the head of Deng, and he always had a smiling face when he saw Lu Ning.

Nowadays, in the territory of Qi State, each yamen is still two yamen, but it has been changed to morning and afternoon, the morning is basically about eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, and the afternoon is from about three o'clock to six o'clock.

This evening, Lu Ning did not expect that Lang Qiukui, the supervisor of the department, came to his study and said with a smile: "Ah Da, I invite you to eat and drink!" ”

Speaking of which, this Qiu Kui is an eight-grade official, and the head of this government is a non-grade official, but under the new policy of King Qi, each government department has its own responsibilities, although Qiu Kui is a high-grade official, but in the Department of Commerce and Taxation, he only has the right to supervise, and as an outsider, no one pays attention to him at all.

Lu Ning looked at this young man in his twenties, and smiled slightly in his heart, he was quite clever, and he saw himself as a breakthrough Ah.

Logically speaking, this Qiu Kuixuan's breakthrough is absolutely correct.

He belongs to his own people in the Commercial Tax Division, Miao Aisi is his own backstage, and Director Deng is very kind to him, but on the contrary, he is also an outsider, he does not have so many interests entangled, and he is not very old, so he should have a common language.

The three inspectors of Shandong Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Daimyo Mansion, Lu Ning has seen the detailed information, and it can even be said that Lu Ning appointed them, but they don't know it.

They are all literati with some personality, and they are all a little cynical, but they learn things quickly, and they can accept new things.

Even Lu Ning gave them a lesson in disguise.

Of course, in fact, the three-month so-called crash course basically belongs to catching ducks on the shelves, but now it can only be done like this.

This Qiu Kui, among the three people, is the most perceptive one, now, this is not learned from the crash course, how to find a suitable breakthrough in supervision affairs?

Choosing the right person is the most important thing.

"Okay!" Lu Ning also ignored the eyes of others and smiled at him.

Qiu Kui was overjoyed, "Okay, good, then big brother, I heard that you live in Chunhe Tower, just in Chunhe Tower, brother can drink a few more glasses, and it will not prevent brother from resting, foolish brother drinks, like not drunk and homeless!" ”

As an eight-grade official, he is called a brother and sister to an ordinary scribe, which is really a broken handover.

Lu Ning smiled and said okay.

……

Chunhe Building, there were no guests at all, Lu Ning and Qiu Kui were sitting in the private room on the second floor, Qiu Kui obviously didn't expect that the price of the dishes in Chunhe Mansion was quite high, so he gritted his teeth and ordered some hard dishes such as fish and meat.

Qi officials are old, although the income of low-level officials has increased significantly, but the difference in grade is not so big, and there is no idle meal for the time being, the entire Qi country, the only lord is the Penglai County Marquis of this famous mansion, and the personnel are streamlined, and the overall financial situation is healthier than any dynasty, after all, according to the previous system, a second-class nobleman is enough to support more than a hundred low-level officials.

Such as Qiu Kui, an eight-grade official, because he is directly under the Beijing Division, belongs to the Beijing official, a hundred stones per year, and the monthly salary is about five times, although the current price is higher than that of the previous dynasty, but Qiu Kui's annual salary, a wife and a concubine can also live a good life, but such as Qiu Kui, he was obviously a poor scholar before, and his life has just been on the right track, and his life will naturally be tighter.

Seeing Qiu Kui gritting his teeth and asking for good wine and food, Lu Ning was relieved, in order to inquire about information, you also worked hard.

I have a lot more affection for this young man, after all, there is no entertainment expense for him to reimburse now.
