Chapter 470: Return to Luoyang

After dealing with the affairs of Gong County, Zhang Yunwen prepared to leave Gong County and inspect the next county.

On the day that Dali Temple Cheng announced the punishment decision, the people of the Wang family found Zhang Yunwen and asked for the redemption of those fields and shops. Zhang Yunwen shook his head: "This confiscation of your Wang family's Liangtian store is a punishment for your Wang family." If the Wang family redeems these good fields with money again, then where is the majesty of the Dali Temple judgment? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? ”

Hearing the news, the people of the Wang family had no choice but to return home. One is forbidden to enter the government for 30 years, and the other is confiscated equivalent to half of the property of the Wang family. Since this incident, the Wang family's power in Gong County has shrunk greatly, and the other two families in Gong County have taken the opportunity to buy good land shops from Zhang Yunwen to expand their own power. The entire Gong County is no longer dominated by the Wang family.

Those officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department had already returned first, and the 800 elite soldiers borrowed from the Tiger Prison Pass, except for a hundred people who were left as food, the rest of the people also returned to the Tiger Prison Pass in batches.

Before leaving, a person who surprised Zhang Yunwen came to the post house to ask to see Zhang Yunwen. When he heard that he was a young man with yellow muscles and shabby clothes, Zhang Yunwen was stunned, he didn't know such a person, could it be that the people had grievances?

However, after Zhang Yunwen heard this person's self-introduction, he couldn't help but change color.

"Wu Liang, the grass people, is the husband and wife of the Wu family!" The person who called himself Wu Liang looked at Zhang Yunwen with a smirk on his face and said.

As soon as he heard that this person called himself the husband and wife of the Wu family, Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered what Wang Yue said when he was in the Luokou warehouse area, this person was a complete gambler, and in order to make money, he even gave his wife to Wang Yue at a price of two yuan for pleasure. This kind of person, Zhang Yunwen looks down on the most.

At the moment, he said angrily: "Then what are you looking for this official?" ”

Wu Liang said with a smile on his face: "Well, that's the case, my lord, a few days ago, after Wang Yue said that you stopped him and my lady that day, there was ...... between you and my lady."

"Shut up, you shameless villain!" When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he immediately became angry, "This matter has already been clarified by the official, and he said that the relationship between the official and your lady is absolutely innocent!" ”

"Of course, of course, that's that!" Wu Liang said resignedly, "But my lord, when the lord stopped Wang Yue that day, he must have seen my lady's disheveled clothes." Wouldn't that be ......?"

Wu Liang didn't say anything about the rest of the words, Zhang Yunwen didn't speak, stared at him deadly, and he coughed lightly: "Otherwise, my lord, you reward the villain with a little money, and the villain will dedicate my lady to the adult's pleasure?" ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he laughed: "Wu Liang, Wu Liang, for some money, you can even give your own lady to others!" This lady of the Wu family is also a decisive person, how can she have such a rotten wood husband as you! ”

Wu Liang smiled and looked at Zhang Yunwen resignedly.

"Good!" Zhang Yunwen said in a deep voice, "I can give you two hundred!" ”

As soon as he heard this number, Wu Liang immediately showed a happy smile.

"However, you have to write a letter of resignation, divorce your wife, and have nothing to do with you from now on! Would you like to? Zhang Yunwen's eyes were fixed on Wu Liang.

Wu Liang didn't think about it, so he agreed: "Okay!" The villain writes a letter of resignation! ”

When this Wu Liang wrote the letter of resignation and pressed the handprint, Zhang Yunwen asked people to bring two gold cakes and handed them to this Wu Liang. Who knew that Wu Liang said: "My lord, you still give me copper coins, these gold cakes are not something that grass people can use!" ”

Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to ask Yang Shi to send two copper coins. Seeing this Wu Liang disappear outside the post house with twelve or thirteen pounds of copper coins, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the lady of the Wu family would not live with this bastard anymore.

However, what made him feel distressed next was that he was impulsive and returned the freedom of this Wu family lady, but how should he arrange her?

On the second day, Zhang Yunwen led his soldiers with a carriage carrying the Wu family's lady, slowly left Gongxian County and headed north of Luokou.

Along the way, it wasn't because she saw that Zhang Yunwen had a personal soldier by his side or for some other reason, this Wu family lady looked very shy.

Cross the Yellow River at Luokou and reach Licheng. The Li Cheng County Commander had already brought a group of subordinate officials to greet him. This Li Cheng County Order was transferred here before Li Shimin was appointed as the Eastern Capital Mu. However, this person is also very powerful, and he soon took all the power of the entire Li City into his own hands, unlike that Luokoucang; makes Yang Xuan so wretched.

After Licheng, he arrived at Mengzhou, stayed in Mengzhou for a day, and then crossed the Yellow River through the Heyang Bridge and entered Beibi Mountain. To the south of Beibi Mountain is Luoyang City.

When passing through Beibi Mountain, Ma Wangshan excitedly talked about the situation when he was hunting in Beibi. "Don't you know, my lord, those wild deer are very fast, and they are extremely clever, ordinary traps are difficult to work at all, and you often have to put two or three traps on them to catch those wild deer! Well, if you don't, my lord, you go first, and I'll go headhunting! Ma Wangshan became excited as he spoke, and ran towards Beibi Mountain.

Zhang Yunwen chuckled, motioned for the team to move forward slowly, and stopped at a stream to rest. Nearly an hour and a half later, Na Ma Wangshan really came back with a wild deer.

That night, everyone stayed in this Beibi Mountain for the night, eating this wild venison, listening to the interesting news that Mawang Mountain will rise in Beibi Mountain, and was at ease.

In the middle of spring, the entire Beibi Mountain is shrouded in emerald greenery. Countless flowers of various colors of different shades were decorated during the period, and they were distributed all over the mountains, like a little ink sprinkled on this emerald green ink scroll.

Slowly crossed the Beibi Mountain, and finally reached Luoyang.

The biggest gain of Zhang Yunwen's patrol this time was not to crack the Luokou Cang fraud case, but to have a detailed understanding of the situation in the prefecture and county east of Luoyang. Everywhere I went, I talked to officials who had arrived before me, and I was far better at getting the actual situation in the state and county than I could from the data on the record.

After returning to Luoyang, Zhang Yunwen asked people to lead the Wu family lady to Li Yu and others, no matter how they arranged, I believe that with Li Yu's kindness, he would not do anything to this Wu family lady.

Then, he summoned the three Wang Fangyi and asked them about the affairs in the palace.

Before leaving, Zhang Yunwen had instructed them to register all the shops in Luoyang City and issue business permits at a price of ten cents each. In order to allow them to complete their work smoothly, Zhang Yunwen left the Great Seal of Dongdu Mu to the three of them. And I wish Luoyang Mansion Yin Han Chengli to cooperate with the three of them.

Now, when I come back, of course, I have to check how well these people have fulfilled the tasks assigned by them. In front of the ya, he summoned these three people and smiled at them: "How is it, three, is it good to guard this mansion?" ”

That Wang Fangyi shook his head with a smile: "The huge yamen, all the civil affairs in the entire Henan, are backlogged on the three of us, this burden is really not ordinarily heavy!" ”

"That's it!" The Cambodian interface said, "Every day, there are a foot thick of documents from all over the world, and there are even cases that were pending a year ago, and they are also backlogged, let me wait to do it!" ”

"The Yamen has too few people, except for the three of us, there are only a dozen secretaries, so they are really too busy!" Then Wei Zhenzai also complained.

Hearing the words of these three people, Zhang Yunwen said solemnly: "This is self-inflicted inside!" At the beginning, I told the inside, I, the Eastern Capital Mu, am mainly responsible for business matters, and the focus should be on business, and the rest, such as criminal and civil, should be pushed to Luoyang Mansion Yin to do. It's good for you to take all these things down, and it's no wonder if you're not tired! ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally, Wang Fangyi, a slightly older man, said, "My lord's words are wrong! If the adults want to broaden the commercial tax in Luoyang, the only way to increase the collection of the family's shops is to increase the collection of the family's shops. I don't know if the lower official is right? ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded: "It makes some sense!" ”

"Since this is the case, then we can't abandon these civil and criminal! Adults must know that the Luoyang family, with the same spirit and branches, huddled together, if the adults want to increase the business tax, they will inevitably be unanimously resisted. At this time, it is necessary for adults to show their prestige in Gongxian County and suppress the arrogance of these families, and civil and criminal are the best choices! ”

"Well, that's true! Later, Zhenzai, you will hold my handwritten letter and go to Luoyang Mansion Yin to mobilize more scribes to come over! In addition, I will ask Your Majesty for some more, so that your burden may be gradually increased! ”

"Thank you so much, sir!" The three of them spoke.

"By the way, my lord, about the business license, the lower official has a situation to report!" That Wang Fangyi seemed to remember something and said to Zhang Yunwen.

Three days after Zhang Yunwen left Luoyang, the three of them posted notices in and around Luoyang City in the name of Dongdu Mu, ordering all business personnel to go to Dongdu Mu Yamen to obtain a business permit, whether you own a shop or lead a caravan to travel around, you must obtain this business license. If not, the shop will be sealed, the Luoyang caravan will be disqualified, and the non-Luoyang caravan will not be allowed to enter the Tiger Prison Pass, and will not be allowed to do business in Henan.

As soon as this notice came out, the whole of Luoyang shook.

Since the Wude period, the imperial court has been very lenient in doing business. In the early years of Zhenguan, although commerce was restricted for a period of time, it was not long before it was again re-merchant, and for this reason it was not possible to carry out a mercantile order. Merchants from all over the world looked at this notice stamped with a big red seal, not to mention how happy they were.

However, neither in the year of Wude nor in the days when the promulgation of the promulgation of the pro-commercial decree did not mention the matter of this business license. After all, the world is light on business, and businessmen are only a minority.

However, such a notice appeared in Luoyang City today, which couldn't help but shock the merchants of Luoyang. These businessmen are all worried, isn't this Luoyang going to separate the merchants from the household registration, isn't it that they won't be able to receive the imperial court Juntian in the future?

This sentiment spread among the merchants, many of whom closed their doors temporarily.

At this time, the Eastern Metropolitan Pastoral Government issued another notice, explaining the previous notice, saying that this business license is purely to regulate the business order and is not linked to household registration, so please come to apply for a business license as soon as possible.

Seeing this proclamation issued by the Eastern Capital Pastoral Mansion, many businessmen were relieved. However, most businessmen were still skeptical and decided to wait and see. Therefore, from March when Zhang Yunwen set off to April when he returned to Luoyang, there were less than 500 households in Chang'an who came to apply for this business permit.

Hearing Wang Fangyi tell him about the situation, Zhang Yunwen fell into thought, and after a while, he asked rhetorically: "Then do you think this business license is feasible?" ”
