Chapter 42: Xu Shentong
Old fox!
Jiang Jun smiled and didn't speak, just waiting for Qu Jing to speak.
"Of the five hundred and thirteen cases, three hundred and twenty-four were fights and brawls, one hundred and three were thieves, and the rest were petty cases. There were 296 cases submitted in the four counties, and only 200 and 7 cases were filed in Rongdan City itself. Most of the offenders are people from the west of the city, and most of the industries are dock cargo workers. These cases are all recorded in the archives, if the city lord doesn't believe it, he can go and check it now, if there is any omission, I Qu Jing will deal with you. ”
After speaking, Qu Jing took another sip of tea and nodded, probably because he thought the tea was good. It's just that after Jiang Jun heard this, he had other thoughts in his heart.
That's really good, this business ability! If I really have this level, I can still accept it. I'm just a bare board now, it's not a big deal. Talent is always the first, and Jiang Jun is too short of this kind of internal affairs talent, if he fights, he has enough people and a good level.
Jiang Jun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay! Good! Uncle Qu is worthy of being a person that my grandfather values, with such ability, he is a junior Meng Lang. After speaking, Jiang Jun got up and gave Qu Jing a bow and said, "I'm sorry! Please also ask Uncle Qu to forgive Chengjun! This made Qu Jing a little embarrassed, he hurriedly supported his fat body, and also got up and said: "What is the city lord doing, I am the one who should apologize, I still spoke a little rushed, and I hope you will forgive me." "The two sides fought each other, and the atmosphere eased.
After both of them sat down, Jiang Jun also took a sip of tea, looked at the fourth person on the lower left, and asked, "Grandpa Dong, you are the head of the household department, what is the problem with the household registration?" ”
Dong Ye just took a sip of tea, and suddenly seemed to be choked, coughing vigorously, and Gao Lao hurriedly patted him on the back next to him. After a long time, Dong Ye said: "Xiaojun, you have to recruit more people, there is no one left on our side of the household, and there is only an old man like me, where can I deal with it, it's already messy." ”
Jiang Jun was shocked: "How serious is it?" ”
"First, it has been nearly half a year since there was no one in the household, and the new and old households could not be renewed, and there were no newborns who were naturalized. Second, the subordinate officials of the four subordinate counties have not been registered with our household division since the beginning of the year, which means that what we have recorded in the household division is only before last year. Third, there is no silver in the household, the paper can no longer be used, and there are even many that are about to fester, and the urgent need is to replenish new paper. It's just that paper is expensive, and we need a lot. Fourth, it is still a person, and all the case files of the household division must be reclassified, the newborn, the dead, and those who want to be eliminated, as well as a large number of people who have not been put into the case, which requires a large number of people. Xiaojun, I'm old, I'm about to go into the ground, you want to recruit people, I'll hand over the matter, I'm going down as an old man, you know what I mean, right? ”
Feeling that something was wrong, Jiang Jun hurriedly said: "Grandpa Dong, don't worry, this paper is not a big problem, and it will be ready immediately." I am preparing to recruit this person again, I will do it to the greatest extent possible, Grandpa Dong does not need to be in a hurry, drink tea first, and moisten his heart and lungs. After Dong Ye heard this, his chest was still a little uneven, probably because he was too anxious, he took a sip of tea, and his mood slowly calmed down.
This tea is really good!
Jiang Jun asked the other people in charge again, and found that the problem of the entire Rongdan City was too big, whether it was money, grain, paper, households, Cao, agriculture, etc., all of them were problems, and this person was also a problem. These grandfathers were invited out by their fathers one by one at the most difficult time, what has become of this Rongdan City, it is conceivable that these grandfathers are absolutely affectionate to Jiang Jun's father and Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun felt that he owed them too much, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the elders: "Chengjun would like to thank you elders for helping my father and Chengjun in such a difficult time, thank you again!" When they saw him like this, they also got up.
After Jiang Jun sat down, he looked at the old man on the top right.
Xu Lao!
In his grandfather's time, he was in charge of the taxation of Rong Dan City, with strong ability and high prestige, and he had already retired before Jiang Jun was born. At such a difficult time, Father Jiang Jun actually invited him, which was already a great face, and the others also saw that Xu Lao came back, so they were willing to come out.
Xu Lao, formerly known as Xu Shentong, is a native of Rongdan City. Since childhood, he has been extremely intelligent, and he is familiar with the world's learning and miscellaneous conversations, and he was once specially hired by Zhou Guolinglu Academy, the head of the Tianxia Academy. It's just that later, because of his admiration for a person, he was willing to come to Rongdan City as a tax collector, which made people sigh.
But Xu Lao, Xu Lao, he is too old, he is over seventy years old. In this era, in this world, it is extremely difficult to live to seventy, and there are even fewer people who can still live with their legs and feet. In the tax industry, Xu Lao can really be counted with his eyes closed, and he is too proficient.
For Xu Lao, Jiang Jun did not dare to be disrespectful. It's just that before Jiang Jun could speak, Xu Lao spoke first.
"Jun!"
Jiang Jun hurriedly got up, bowed down to Xu Lao, and said, "Sir, Chengjun is here!" ”
Xu Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are the master, I am the genus, why do you want to give me such a big gift?" ”
"Chengjun doesn't dare, Mr. is both an elder and a person with great ability, there is nothing wrong with Chengjun's move."
"Little kid, he's not very old, and he still knows a lot of rules, haha. Alright, sit down first! ”
When Jiang Jun heard this, he was not hypocritical, so he sat down directly. Xu Lao took a sip of tea and said to Jiang Jun: "The tax can't come up!" ”
Although he had expected this, Jiang Jun still felt a little abrupt in his heart.
"What's going on? How serious is it? ”
"In the tax line, in addition to your Jiang family, only Zhenyulou, Fule Lou, and Futaifang pay taxes, and the others have not been paid for three years, and even have not been paid for five years. This is not like before, since the stalemate with the Baoling Mansion, the prestige of the city lord has been declining, and now, people are only superficially recognized, and their hearts have long lost their awe. ”
When Jiang Jun heard this, he was surprised and delighted. I was surprised that there was such a person who dared to cause the country's tax revenue to be nothing, and the happy thing was that the people of the Jiang family paid the tax, which made Jiang Jun look at it differently.
OK! The biggest resistance is gone!
"Old Xu, I still have questions. If so many people have not paid their taxes, it is understandable that the treasury is empty. It's just that the taxes paid by our Jiang family should not be a few, and the treasury should have a surplus, why is there not a single or two lines of silver now? ”
Xu Lao paused, and then said: "Yesterday, Sanshan came to make trouble, what was it for, don't you know? ”
???
The trouble in the three mountains seems to be for some kind of silver, as if it is a protection fee, and it will be fine if you pay it, similar to Nagong. It's just that the government is too shameful for the thieves to do such an operation.
Jiang Jun was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, and asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the tax paid is to be handed over to those thieves?" ”
