Inside the house, Sun Yue was immersed in hard reading, and outside the house, Sun Chunming's commentary was also in full swing.

Sun Chunming and his generation grew up listening to commentaries, so they don't know what Xiao Xianrou is, and the happiest thing every day is to hear Shan Tianfang's voice when they come home from school, so he has listened to Mr. Shan Tianfang's classic commentaries more than five or six times, and when he was a child, he could even tell the Sui and Tang Romances from beginning to end.

But after so many years, I naturally forgot about it a long time ago, but after all, the cultural foundation is here, and I will make up and change the foundation I remember, and then make a secondary creation by myself, and put it in such a cultural desert in the early Song Dynasty, but no one likes it, and the applause is also higher than the wave.

Cross talk is a small segment, generally speaking, three points and five points, you are happy, you have to ask for money here, you have to ask for three times or five times, and you can almost rest after cleaning the audience's pockets.

Storytelling is different, this thing must be a long paragraph, and you can't stop it for twenty or thirty minutes when you talk about it, and the rhythm in the middle must be tense and can't be interrupted casually.

So a storytelling is much more workload than cross talk, but the number of times you ask for money is only once, although the audience's stickiness is higher, but in fact, the income is much worse than cross talk, which is why they have been talking about cross talk instead of storytelling.

Speaking of storytelling, the audience is sticky, sticky people around a lot of people, in the morning each store is not very open, the idlers on the dock will gather in pieces, so that after a while, the road will be blocked, and it is very lively.

But no matter when, it's always wrong to block the road, even if it's Nancheng, someone is in charge, and before he said how big it was, there was a big man with his arms dangling, and he came over and scolded: "What are you doing, get out of the way." ”

Sun Chunming didn't know who came, but Lao Cao did, so he hurriedly leaned up and said with a smile: "It's Third Brother Liu, are you here to collect taxes?" ”

"No, the benevolence of the official family, everything is still the same, I am still in charge of our taxes, Lao Cao, your business is good, there are so many people, my brother charges you thirty times a month, not much."

"Thirty runs? Brother Liu, you see that there are so many people around me, all of them are listening to books, and few of them give money, you can do it, take a few less. ”

"Not making money? If you don't make money, what are you doing blocking the street, scattering it, scattering it for me, in this way, twenty times a month, I have heard that this street is the best business for your family, and there are indicators on it, and your family pays a little more, which is considered to be considerate and considerate of my brother's difficulties. ”

Sun Chunming also came over and said: "This brother, you see that we are two families doing business together, there are many people in the family, and the dog still has to study, which is quite expensive, see if you can be accommodating again, and erase it a little." ”

"Reading? What kind of book do you want to read, but you still want to read a champion in this small store? ”

There are idlers next to him who can't listen to it, Sun Chunming said that it's hard to say how much money is made from cross talk, but this popularity has been accumulated, and the tax collector himself is not an official, especially at this time, in fact, it is very chaotic, but not everyone is afraid of him.

I heard someone in the crowd: "Liu's big head, the legs are long on our own, we are willing to come to listen to the book, what does it have to do with others, the new officials have not dared to oppress the people, how can you change the dynasty and change your prestige." ”

With the beginning, these idlers also complained one after another, most of these men are refugees, pulling fibers on the dock, in official terms, it is actually Diao Min, and officials are most afraid of contact with this kind of people.

When the tax collector saw the anger of the people, he had to say: "Okay, okay, then I will reduce it by five more times, okay, you people, you guys, you have blocked the road, and you are noisy like this, and you are not afraid that the neighbors will scold you for disturbing the people, and you are still studying?" What kind of book do you read like this? Am I so foolish? ”

Sun Chunming didn't wait to speak, and someone helped him, and scolded with a smile: "Big head, you are called a man who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and a dog looks down on people, and the one who reads in it is not an ordinary Lang Jun, but he is a little minister who has been praised by today's officials, don't you hurry up and please yourself, aren't you afraid that people will pick your skin when they grow up?" ”

Sun Chunming waved his hand again and again to persuade everyone not to say it anymore, the so-called Hades is easy to see little ghosts, sometimes this kind of little official is much more difficult to fiddle with than the official master, if you provoke people to hold a grudge, some will invite you to clean you up.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the administrative system was very strange, and later generations only knew that the officials overlapped layer by layer, and the redundancy of officials was seriously inefficient, but they did not know that the grassroots officials who really did things in the Song Dynasty were extremely scarce, not to mention the early Song Dynasty, even the entire Northern Song Dynasty's best Renzong tax officer system was a mess, usually only one or two small officials were responsible for collecting taxes in a county.

The village is fine, but the city simply has no regulations at all, and a city is divided into several pieces, and each piece arranges a tax collector to collect taxes, and there is a special obligation not to pay wages.

Every month, the county government holds a showdown according to the wealth of each piece according to the indicators given by the imperial court, and only collects the total amount but no matter how it is collected, it is strange that these tax collectors do not eat and take cards.

In short, this tax collector is not big, or even not an official at all, but the power is very great, at least it is not difficult for your whole family to get along in this area.

Who knows, the tax collector slapped his thigh and said: "I heard before that there is a prodigy in our Nancheng, who was not only praised by the official family on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, but also gave a royal gift, saying that it is a character like Wei Zheng, isn't it your baby?" ”

Sun Chunming was stunned for a moment, and had to say: "It's the dog, it's just a little luck, I don't dare to compare with Wei Zheng." ”

"Hah! It's this little prodigy, who would dare to collect the tax of the little prodigy? You don't collect this tax, even if I invite it, this book should be said to continue, I cover it. ”

Sun Chunming was overjoyed: "Thank you for this big brother, thank you for this big brother." ”

"Thank you, yes, what do you call my brother?"

"The surname is Sun, and his name is Chunming."

"Brother Chun, don't worry, as long as I am still a tax collector for one day in the future, you don't have to pay taxes, it's just 。。。。。 I have a reluctant request here. ”

"Speak, please."

"Can you let Ling Lang take out the imperial gift and open his brother's eyes?"

Sun Chunming thought it was a big deal, as soon as he heard such a request, he naturally agreed, in fact, such a big movement, Sun Yue naturally came out a long time ago, and when he heard this, he directly took off the iron wrench hanging around his neck, walked over and stretched out his hand and said, "Here you go." ”

The tax collector saw that both eyes were shining, and he wiped the sweat on his palms on his pants, and took it carefully, with an expression like a pilgrimage.

Although Zhao Kuangyin had just become the emperor for a few days, he did not slaughter the city and did not add endowment, only these two items, the people of the world, especially the people of Kaifeng, respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

When the tax collector had seen enough and returned it, Sun Yue happily hung this thing back around his neck, knowing that this thing would be useful, but he didn't expect it to be so useful and legally avoid taxes.
