"Did you hear that? Zhou Changshi went out and wanted to copy the family property of several corrupt officials to use. ”

"I heard that we are going to raid the house of the head of the farmer."

"Tell me?"

"It's not that last time, the main tax on land rent was more than last year's, and he was rewarded by Fan Changshi. At that time, Zhou Changshi was in charge of industry and commerce, and the tax collected was less than last year's, and he was evaluated by Fan Changshi. ”

"I heard that Zhou Changshi wants to arrest Dongcheng Ling, and Dongcheng Ling is the richest man in Xihai County."

And the real richest man in Xihai County is naturally not an official, but a wealthy businessman in Xihai County. In an agrarian society where the status of merchants was low, it was death for merchants to show off their wealth, so the rule that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin could not be more supportive of sensible merchants. This is a big way to pretend to be poor.

In addition, bribes to officials at all levels, begging for mercy, and seeking protection are also a science.

Every time he bribed the officials, Yang Youcai always faintly revealed a little painful expression, but he happily gave the money out in his hands. Most of the officials believed that he was really struggling to keep his business afloat - after all, this guy looked rather stupid.

However, businessman Fu Lan does not see it that way. He is a young talent like Zhou Cong, but unlike Zhou Cong, Fu Lan is from a famous family and has a noble status. At first, he was not optimistic about this boss who was born in a broken household, but when he learned that he was using Chunhua, he looked at his boss differently. When the tax is collected, he treats the small people leniently, and when he focuses on the big businessmen, he admires the boss's thinking even more - how much can the small stalls of the small people collect? It also increased public resentment. But if a big family takes a bite, it will save effort and produce oil and water, and besides, big businessmen often have a reputation as profiteers, and arresting them will not attract public anger.

Alas, now that he is acting as an agent for the Department of Industry and Commerce, the old boss is forced to ask for money from above. I had to help him, so this time I saw Yang Youcai, a dirt bun, sending money to his housekeeper, and he went directly to stop it: "The family has taken bribes, and the master will also be convicted." Then he went back to the house without looking back.

"Shopkeeper Yang, I'm sorry. Please come back. ”

"Alas, Fu Yuanwai. Small ......"

"Shopkeeper Yang, please go back, it's not mine, you shouldn't talk nonsense......"

When I came home dejected, I thought that bribery would not work, and it would not be as simple as paying heavy water.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Daughter Yang Xuening went to give gifts to the Ling's family, but she was also rejected. The main person who came at the end of last year, and Zhou Cong, who has been a long history this year, is really not a thing, and he is much harder on the wrists of large and medium-sized merchants. The actual burden is one or two percent more than in previous years.

"Fu Yuanwai scolded me for bribing."

"My lord, how is this good? A shipload of cargo capsized, waiting for the government to raise its hand. ”

"Zhou Cong. This guy is so powerful that he can make the officials of the Department of Industry and Commerce not take money. Alas, what will this business do in the future! ”

"Don't hurt yourself, sir. Let's think about it in the long run. ”

"You go and see if there are any other things that can be handled cheaply, and if you deal with them, you can exchange them for as much as you want. I went to check how much money I had left at home. ”

Zhou Cong himself didn't seem to be worried about raising money at this time, but wandered around the street, and bought some melon seeds while walking.

Seeing that the street was relatively deserted, he knew that someone must have let him out if he was short of money, so both the shops and the ordinary people began to pretend to be poor. He didn't care about the big guy pretending to be poor, anyway, he estimated that his reputation as a cool official in Chunhua would be spread. In the past few days, in addition to the Department of Industry and Commerce, other departments and subordinate counties have rumored that they want to be cool officials again, and they plan to raid the homes of 100 officials to be satisfied.

"It's only been ten days, and from the first day it was rumored that Lao Tzu was going to copy a few people's homes, and it was spread to a hundred houses. Hehe, continue to pass on, and pass on Lao Tzu to the god of death. He was talking to himself when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting, "Get out of the way!" "Well, it sounds like a woman......

Unfortunately, Zhou Changshi committed Tai Sui this year, and was hit in the finger by Sun Yu with a whip a few days ago, and was hit by a horse today.

Damn, it's all Sun Yu's fault, I don't know where I learned that Lao Tzu was interested in that little official prostitute, and directly stuffed Lao Tzu into the palace chief Shi Duty Room as a servant. Alas, I already knew that this long history was not appropriate, these bastard colleagues were afraid that Lao Tzu would raid his house, and they didn't dare to make up their minds no matter how big or small, and they were so tired of a bunch of official documents that Lao Tzu couldn't go home.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, Childe." Zhou Cong, who was hit by a dog gnawing mud, only heard that the woman who hit him in the back was in a hurry. Do you want to extort her a sum of money for nutrition? After all, Lao Tzu is short of money.

"Don't move! Hurt my waist. Find the door panel and carry me to see Lang Zhong! ”

"Childe, don't worry, I'll let someone find it." Then run to his head and see if he hit his face.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it: this person's face was sludge, although he didn't fall and his face was swollen and broken, but this foul-smelling sludge splashed his face, and people didn't want to be private, but it would be troublesome. That living god Zhou Cong is short of money! What should I do if I arrest myself in a downtown area and go to prison for a female person?

"Childe, I'm really sorry. There is indeed an urgent matter under it. This urgent matter is entrusted to someone else. This accompanied Gongzi to see Langzhong. After that, he took out a coarse cloth handkerchief and wiped Zhou Cong's face. confirmed that the phase was not broken, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Childe, you can carry this son to see Langzhong."

"Okay, six people carry it together, you must lift it steadily."

Let's take Zhou Cong to the door panel and send it to Lang Zhong.

"There's a lot of people today." Yang Xuening saw that the hospital was full of people, and she didn't know what time it would be when she was queuing. Busy everyone, let go and cut in line.

It's just because she is not good, whether it is the servant she brings, or Zhou Cong who climbed the door panel, they are all wearing cloth clothes. What did the other people find out about it? Ignore her together.

"Good luck guys. The patient was hit by a horse and hit on the waist. ”

"We are also people who lack arms and legs, aren't we also honestly queuing?"

"That's right."

"Isn't this Miss Yang of Yongfa? Rich is amazing, huh? ”

"That is, can you do whatever you want if you have money?"

"I don't dare to go into the meeting. Zhou Cong has been short of money to spend recently, and when the time comes, he will catch you and make you bleed. ”

"Why are you telling her this? What if Zhou Cong can't catch her? ”

"No, isn't Zhou Cong's tax collection to catch and release small fish? You and I can't do it. ”

"Where, where? Zhou Papi is so hungry, who knows if he will eat it all? ”
