Chapter 35: Salary Refund
The people cheered and shouted long live.
The master bookkeeper on the side reminded Luo Hui: "My lord, pay attention to the fraud!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Hui felt very reasonable: "Yes, this matter should indeed be considered carefully, in your opinion?" ”
The main book: "If you are a little foolish, let them come village by village, and everyone will have a picture to prevent fraud!" ”
Luo Hui nodded: "Your attention is very good, let you temporarily replace this magistrate!" ”
The main book: "The old man is a showman, and there is also the county lord, where it is the turn of the old man!" ”
Luo Hui looked at the county Cheng, and his greed was 85: "He is also unclean, Li Qianhu, also send someone to copy his house!" ”
The county man collapsed to the ground: "My lord spares his life, and his humble duties are all forced by Chen County's order!" ”
This person threw the pot on a dead man like this, Luo Hui was very disdainful: "Oh, he actually forced you to embezzle."
The county man knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, spare my life, I still have old and young!" ”
"You are old and young, others are not old and young, right" Luo Hui was very angry: "Your matter will naturally be investigated clearly, as for how to convict, it depends on how many things have been committed!" ”
The county was soon dragged away and sent to prison.
Deputy Li Qianhu instructed the military household to deal with the aftermath, so he walked up to Luo Hui and showed a flattering smile: "My lord, when I was copying the county house just now, I found that there was still an unused table!" ”
This kid is quite good at sycophants, and a few people have been on the road for a day, and they are indeed tired and hungry. However, when he saw the two skinny children, he immediately felt some pity, so take these two children with him!
The woman holding the child hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Qingtian!" ”
The master reminded him: "These two children should not eat too meaty things directly, and it is best to use some porridge to pad their stomachs first, so as to avoid accidents." ”
Luo Hui looked at this old man, he had indeed heard of the example of a vicious person eating himself to death before. If something really happened to these two children, the ministers would definitely seize this point to blackmail and attack him. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little ashamed of myself, my 81 strategy shouldn't be like this, and I still lack some experience in the end.
This old man is really not simple. Although the strategy and overall situation are not high, but the life experience is very rich, it is like a living fossil, and every step is thought of.
He didn't know how many things this old man had to go through before he became the master book, how rich his life experience was, and what he could say that he had experienced everything.
······
A group of people returned to the county office and sat on the table set by Chen Zhengze. Luo Hui and the four of them, plus Li Qianhu and the old master.
Looking at the table, Luo Hui was really angry: "That dog thing, it's really innocent, and the two of them eat so luxuriously!" Did the owner of the rice shop handle it lightly? ”
After Wan Bi passed the county order, he couldn't help but admire him a little: "My lord, Tang County still needs that rice shop owner, just let him spit out the money!" ”
The old master's book: "What Master Wan said is reasonable!" ”
Luo Hui pointed to a whole roast chicken: "Yaowu, wrap this chicken and wait for a few of them to finish drinking the porridge before sending it over!" ”
Zhou Yaowu: "Humble obedience!" ”
The old master's book: "My lord really loves the people like a son!" ”
Luo Hui sighed: "If you don't clean up the hearts of the people, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" ”
Wan Bi and the main book were shocked, they didn't expect Luo Hui to dare to say such a thing, he was really bold enough.
After the six of them finished eating, Luo Hui took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Li Qianhu: "The brothers have worked hard today, we can't eat fragrant and drink spicy food, let the brothers drink the northwest wind!" ”
Li Qianhu took the silver two: "Thank you for the brothers!" ”
As for Chen Zhengze's family, where the county government originally lived, Luo Hui asked Li Qianhu to arrest the guilty and release the innocent, and the county government was empty. Now that the county order has been beheaded, Luo Hui and the others have also occupied the magpie's nest and are ready to live in the county office.
······
The news about Luo Hui's beheading of Zhixian soon spread throughout Tang County. For this kind of thing, it is definitely an after-dinner conversation. Although the people of Tang County are living in great hardship, it does not delay them from talking about this.
"Do you know, our county lords have all been beheaded!"
"It's really fake, Chen Shadi was beheaded, it won't be King Chuang who entered Tang County!"
"No, it seems to be a minister sent by the emperor, it is really majestic, just like the song in the play, he slashed Chen and scraped the ground!"
"There is something more important, it doesn't matter if you cut Chen and scrape the land or not, that minister is going to return the Liao salary to us!"
"That's great, you can sell a bucket of rice!"
"Hey, don't be too happy, you don't know if it's real or fake!"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out tomorrow!"
······
Early in the morning, the entrance of the county government was crowded with people. The chief bookkeeper took an account book and registered the refund of the people for the salary.
"Hey, don't panic, come from village to village!"
When Luo Hui learned that a county in Tang County had levied 30,000 taels, his face darkened. According to this levy, more than 1,000 counties across the country are not allowed to levy 30 million taels.
It wasn't until the master explained to him the Tao in it that Luo Hui understood.
It turns out that the imperial court gave the provinces a task of collecting 100,000 yuan, so if there are ten prefectures in the province, the task of each prefecture is 20,000, if a prefecture has ten counties, then the task given by the prefecture to the county is 5,000 taels, and the task is 5,000 taels.
This is also the bulk of this person's wealth, no wonder this person has collected more than 200,000 taels of silver when he was the county governor for nine years.
Therefore, the abolition of Liaoyu has played a greater role than imagined, and it can even be said to be one of the keys to saving the Ming Dynasty! But this is based on the fact that the local government really no longer levies salaries.
Only then did Luo Hui realize that this matter was far more important than negotiation. If we do not completely eliminate the scourge of Liaoyu to the people, it is meaningless to negotiate peace.
He asked the acting magistrate to walk in front of the scribe who had withdrawn the salary, and his voice was like a bell: "Ladies and gentlemen, in view of Chen Zhengze's exploitation of everyone in the past nine years, this official has decided to triple the salary refund at one time!" ”
The people were stunned, it turned out that the salary refund was already unimaginable to them (her), but they didn't expect it to be refunded three times at a time! Each person can probably have one tael of silver, and this three times the salary plus the price of 200 wen can make a family barely survive for three months.
The people knelt down one after another, with tears in their eyes: "Lord Qingtian, what a Lord Qingtian!" We are all saved, and we are saved! ”
The county government is in full swing on this side, and there is a long queue at Wu Ji rice shop on the other side. 200 yuan of rice, people in Tang County don't know how long it has been since they have eaten such cheap rice.
Each man had a tael of silver in his hand and was ready to put five buckets of rice. And these five buckets of rice happen to be a bag, so you don't need to take the bucket, you can directly weigh it, and refund more and make up for less.
