Chapter 0294: Towards Officialdom [2]

Luo Yunxiao looked at the two officials from the state capital, showed a very helpless expression and said, "Then Luo Mou reluctantly took the position of county leader." But the ugly words are in front, I am only responsible for the economy and finance of the entire Jinyang County. In other words, as long as Luo meets all your requirements, the others will not participate and will not be responsible. In addition, I will not run errands in the county government, and I will not have contact with those officials, and I will not interact. Especially the current Shangguan, Luo will not have anything to do with him. I hope that the two adults will communicate with him first, otherwise there will be some unnecessary situations, in case there are any unexpected results, the two officials don't blame Luo for not reminding. ”

When Luo Yunxiao put forward some conditions that seemed unreasonable and somewhat arbitrary, it immediately made the two mansion lords feel very embarrassed. In particular, Zhu Tong's judgment was really puzzled and dissatisfied. How can there be an official who doesn't go to the yamen on an errand, what kind of official is this? But people are rich, powerful and capable, even if you are his official now, you don't dare to reprimand him casually. It's not good, he hasn't taken office yet! I'll just pick and don't do it. Where do you think you should reason if such a situation happens?

However, Yang Ziqing, who was on the side, quickly understood the meaning of Luo Yunxiao's words. Because Luo Yunxiao did this, he was not arrogant and had no one in his eyes. His original intention was to avoid unnecessary embarrassment and trouble as much as possible. For the top boss of the county order, if the two sides work together, it will inevitably be a situation that makes both parties uncomfortable. If you have Luo Yunxiao's current identity and status. Not to mention the county order, even the people of Futai will feel that Yali Mountain is big. He didn't go to work in the yamen, because he didn't want the county magistrate to do things under pressure, which would make the two sides more and more estranged, and eventually cause everyone's relationship to break down, resulting in a breakup.

Let's talk about those subordinates again, and they will be suppressed by this deputy county magistrate-level Jianghu madman. The county magistrate didn't dare to look directly at him and fight with him. What's more, these people under them will only become more unbearable.

Luo Yunxiao put forward his unconventional requirements in order to avoid these unconventional situations. Yang Ziqing saw that Zhu Yuan was still a little unwilling, and even wanted to say something to Luo Yunxiao, so he hurriedly interjected and said: "Zhu Tongju, we might as well agree to Luo Xiancheng's request!" If there is anything, we can talk about it in private on the way back! ”

Zhu Tongju looked at Yang Ziqing's eyes as if he was hinting at something, knowing that he had already seen the doorway. He didn't insist on anything anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay." That's it. Then the official will first tell you some data about Jinyang County, you can refer to these data, according to your pace, the grain and taxes in the second half of this year will be completed. If Jinyang County does not count the fields of those rivers and lakes, there are a total of 260,000 mu of paddy fields, which can produce about 1.36 million stone of grain a year. Of these, only 170,000 stone fell into the official treasury. There are still more than half a year left, and it is no longer realistic to plant two more seeds. Therefore, we only ask you to hand in 80,000 stone of grain by the end of the year. ”

"Then there's the issue of taxes. Each county is divided into five grades: extra-large, large, medium-sized, small, and tiny. There are 7 extra-large shops in Jinyang County, and they pay 80 taels of silver per house every year; 24 large shops, each paying 45 taels of silver every year; There are 90 medium-sized shops, each of which is called 18 taels of silver per year; 196 small shops, each paying 5 taels of silver per year; There are a total of 769 small vendors, each of whom only needs to pay 2 taels of silver a year. And in the time you take over, you only need to complete half of all the taxes. This is the errand we are going to entrust to you. I hope you don't want to let me down! ”

Luo Yunxiao roughly calculated, 170,000 stone of grain per year is really not much. In one year, all the shops and vendors paid less than 6,000 taels of silver, which is not as much as the income of the Yunxiao Restaurant opened by their own in half a month. Alas! I really didn't expect that this official mansion is really Qingshui Yamen! It's really not a lot of oil and water.

Luo Yunxiao sighed a lot in his heart, and after being merciful for a while, he began to send beef again: "Two adults, this is not okay." Although there are less than seven months left this year, at the end of the year, when I, a new official, take office, although I will not burn three fires, there is still no problem in adding firewood to the fire. Luo can make a guarantee here, I will hand over 200,000 stone of grain and 20,000 taels of silver to the official treasury at the end of this year. Never a penny in arrears! What do you think? ”

For every big deal in the past, Luo Yunxiao's beef this time is really small and a little pitiful, and he even feels that he can't give it away. However, listening to the ears of Zhu Tongju and Yang Zhubo, it was like pie in the sky. If the officials of the entire Jiaozhou County, everyone only needs to pay half of Luo Yunxiao's efforts. Then the life of the government will not be as stretched and difficult as it is today.

Zhu Tong asked with a slightly puzzled look: "Is what Luo Xiancheng said just now true?" The old man can't have heard it wrong, right? ”

Luo Yunxiao said with a straight face: "The words of the lower officials are true, and they will never be slandered." If the two adults still don't believe it, so be it! You can send someone to Duxiu Mountain now, and I will immediately give you the matter of cashing in the money and food, so there will be no problem, right? ”

When Zhu Tong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was about to nod his head to say yes, but was stopped by Yang Ziqing on the side. And grabbed the head and said: "We all know that Luo Xiancheng has always spoken like a mountain. How can we not believe you? Then we'll wait for you at the end of the year. The official and Lord Zhu still had to rush to Jinyang County to inform them of this personnel appointment of the imperial court, so they would not bother. This is the farewell. ”

After that, he pulled Zhu Tong and was about to leave. Luo Yunxiao hurriedly stopped them: "The two adults should stay, let Luo and the adults go to Jinyang County together!" By the way, you can go to our Yunxiao Restaurant to eat, which can be regarded as Luo Mou picking up the wind and washing the dust for the two adults. Come on, go and call Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang to Luo. ”

It didn't take long for the deputy chief of staff of the army, Jiang Shui, to come in. Luo Yunxiao took special care of him, and asked him to accompany the adults from the state capital to Jinyang County, and entertain the two adults in the Duxiu Restaurant there. Jiang Shuichang happily accepted the order, and then sentenced to Zhu Tong, Yang Zhubo had a brief exchange, and then left Duxiu Mountain together.

inexplicably became a parent official, which made Luo Yunxiao immediately have a sense of being separated from the world that I didn't understand, but that the world was changing rapidly. However, having this official position also has certain benefits, at least no one in the rivers and lakes dares to come to find fault for no reason. This will give Duxiu Mountain a buffer time for development.
