Chapter 216

With a matchmaker with a bull fork to "match", Yang Shangjing will definitely not be able to run away from the "happy marriage" in the future, but it will take some time for this messenger to arrive in Nanjing, so at this time Yang Shangjing is waiting for the results at the same time, and he has played a step in Huangyan County, in order to prepare enough materials for granulated gunpowder, he wants to attract merchants to sell eggs, so as to promote egg production.

"Hey, any of you who can read, come over and help take a look." A man with five big and three rough men shouted loudly, "Why is there such an official document at the door of the chief prosecutor's yamen?" ”

Although the man doesn't know how to read, he still knows the big red official seal, and although the big seal of the household is much smaller than Yang Shangjing's county official seal, it is also quite eye-catching, so with the shouting of this man, the door of this small courtyard was soon surrounded by people eating melons.

Because of the limited space inside the county office, such a newly established yamen could no longer be placed in the county office, so Chen Bin simply found a small courtyard behind the county office, and placed his office here.

Since the official position of the chief prosecutor of Huangyan County fell on Chen Bin, this small courtyard has become the most frequent place for various merchants to enter - after experiencing several "gang wanters" smashing and robbing, all the businessmen in Huangyan County know that if you want to make money in Huangyan County safely and steadily, you have to serve the chief prosecutor of public security, not to mention one-fifth of the tax, you have to donate a little bit of meaning.

I saw a soldier in a long robe come out of the crowd, standing at the bottom of the list, his lips squirmed a few times, obviously he was also very difficult to watch, and there was a person who couldn't bear it, and shouted at the public security officer next to the list: "This poor master, what is written on this list?" ”

"It doesn't matter what it's written, it has nothing to do with people like you." The errand rolled his eyes, that is, a glare, the way to distinguish between poverty and wealth in these years is very simple, just see that others don't know the words, if you don't even know the words, a quasi-mud leg, for the mud legs, this errand is a fart.

The man's face turned a little red with an "ah", but after looking at the long knife on the soldier's waist, he didn't dare to say anything after all, so he could only wait there with his neck stretched.

After a long while, the scholar finished reading the above text and said aloud: "It is written on this notice that if there are merchants in the city who sell poultry eggs, regardless of what kind of eggs, duck eggs or goose eggs, the security expenses of the shops will be reduced by one percent, and the larger the number, the more the security fees will be reduced, and the maximum can be reduced by fifty percent." ”

"Oh." The common people let out a voice of sudden realization, and then slowly dispersed, since it was to collect the security fee of that Laoshizi, it had nothing to do with their gang of non-businessmen, and if they had the time to look at this, it was better to go home to see the children, but they dispersed, and there were a few excited little guys, but they ran away and went back to tell their owners.

Since the launch of the chief prosecutor of public security, the security in the city has improved a lot in an instant, large-scale gangs have been uprooted, and the remaining petty thieves are also silent one by one, and there are one or two who are hungry and crazy, and want to fill their stomachs with some wild food on the street, and they are immediately pressed to the ground and beaten severely by the passing public security officers, and the most unlucky ones have to go to prison for a few days to eat prison food.

After all, there is a lot of manpower in the current security department, that is, the elites in the various gangs back then, who are very familiar with these things such as beating stuffy sticks, setting white wolves, taking out money bags, and shooting flowers.

For ordinary people, this is of course a good thing, but for merchants...... Then we'll have to look at it separately.

Those big merchants, standing behind them, are the big households in Huangyan County, that is, the village sages, the original gang members just ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they didn't dare to find trouble with this kind of merchant, after all, ...... Behind them are also these big households, if they touch it, they must be the first to die on their side, and they can shout and kill Xiao Qisan Street can be recruited with copper coins at will, but this can settle accounts, especially those good account owners, even if they spend money, they can't be invited, but the security department is the county order Yang Shangjing's push, and the big households don't dare to say anything, this money, pinch their noses, and hand it over.

For those low-end merchants, it's nothing, it's just that the protection money handed over to the green-skinned hooligans in the past has been turned into a security fee, and it is handed over to these poor masters of the public security department as it is, and there is no loss.

However, people's hearts are wonderful and unpredictable, it seems that the government will not compete with the people for profit, very reasonable, a few of the small landlord's shops simply refused to pay this public security fee, and one or two said the vibrating words, Chen Bin of the Department of Public Security smiled, not at all with this group of people to argue, with the official uniform swaggering away, not at all not forced, so that day, the number of merchants who paid the public security fee instantly decreased by more than half.

The next day, the shops that did not pay the security fees were smashed by the green-skinned hooligans, and they wanted to beat the drum to complain, but they were stopped outside the county office, and the officials in the torture room politely pointed to the direction behind the county office, showing a shy smile: "Now that the county has ordered, all the cases of merchants in the city are under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Department, you can go to the campus behind the yamen, find Chen Bin Chen to check the pleadings, and there will naturally be a document in the torture room to accept your confessions." ”

So these small landlords just shook their hands, how can this Nima play? Obviously, those people who smashed and robbed were some of the officers of the Department of Public Security who did not wear official uniforms, and if they went to hand over the paper, it was basically Chen Bin who was shocked and shouted "Who is the person in the hall, sue the official", so one by two people took the paper in frustration, prepared the money and sent it to the Department of Public Security.

The cost of security is two layers of the store's profits, that is, equivalent to 20% of the commercial tax, which is quite reasonable, and now as long as you sell eggs, it can be reduced by at least half? It's simply ...... It's just a matter of morality, and I don't let my shopkeeper buy some eggs from the surrounding prefectures and counties to sell, what are you waiting for?
