Those helpers were originally from the village, and everyone was familiar with them, and it was much more convenient to do things.

For example, Dai Wang is the mayor of Bali, and his reputation in Bali is high, but when he speaks in other places, others may not buy it.

This management method is very effective in the management of later villages, and Song Wenjian used this.

Wu Guanhai heard Song Wenjian say this, and was secretly worried.

When he first came, Song Wenjian said that he only had a few dozen taels of silver, and he had to save some flowers.

But if you recruit fifteen helpers, or pay them now, it will cost more than seven taels of silver.

In the township, I still have to run errands, eat and buy things for ordinary life, and I have to spend a lot of money, I am afraid that in a few days, the young master will have no money to run the township.

Song Wenjian bowed his head and said: "Dai Wang, you go to the other fourteen lieutenant chiefs now, they can be willing to be helpers, or recommend someone from the village to come over, you must be neat and honest." ”

"Okay, young master, I'll go look for them now." Dai Wang said as he looked at Song Wenjian.

Song Wenjian scolded with a smile: "What's the matter, are you still afraid that I will lie to you and not give you money?" ”

"Hehehe, young master, if I go over with my salary now, they will believe it even more. You must know that I, Dai Wang, believe in the young master, but they may not believe it. Dai Wan smiled shrewdly.

Song Wenjian gave Dai Wang this month's salary, and Dai Wang ran out excitedly.

The old man Hong next to him had big eyes, Dai Wang, they were five hundred wen a month.

Song Wenjian saw that Old Man Hong was emotional, and asked with a smile: "Old Man Hong, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No, no." Old man Hong didn't care about saying that he was uncomfortable. He is an old man from the former township, and it is good that Song Wenjian can invite him.

"Old man Hong, you are different from other helpers, your work is easy. But if you can find out what is useful to me, I will reward you with another money. Song Wenjian said.

Old man Hong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to know how he made money.

Jian Yuping went out to buy some food and came back, and Song Wenjian saw that Old Man Hong was about to cook, so he also asked him to come over and eat together.

"Township Chief, can I eat?" Old man Hong screamed in surprise. Even Mo Weibao didn't give such a good treatment to the helpers, and he still took care of the food.

It seems that others are not wrong, this township chief is really a second fool.

Song Wenjian smiled and said, "If there are no special circumstances, I will take care of your food, but it may not be a big fish and meat." ”

Song Wenjian has calculated, if he buys meat and vegetables by himself, he will not be able to make a few dollars.

Now when he wants to employ people, give a little favor and a small favor, and the helpers in the township will remember his goodness, and of course they will work hard and don't want him to step down.

After eating, Dai Wang rushed over with the other lieutenants. They heard that they had 500 yuan a month, so how could they let someone else do it?

No, all the fifteen lieutenants arrived, and they promised to be helpers in the township.

Song Wenjian looked at the smiling lieutenants, and asked Wu Guanhai to pay them this month's salary.

The village committees were set up, and Song Wenjian asked them to go home and prepare for it, and come over early tomorrow morning to respond.

In addition, when they went back today, they wanted to count how much tax and grain the villagers in each village could pay and how much they still owed, and Song Wenjian had to find a way to pay them all within this month.

Song Wenjian is not afraid that the villagers will hide their own food, because if they want to borrow, they will have to pay one and a half times the interest a year, and ordinary people don't want to borrow.

The other lieutenants went back, Dai Wang stayed, and Song Wenjian wanted him to accompany him to take a look in the polder town.

Today is the polder day, people come and go, and small traders and vendors have a lot of goods on the street, attracting many people to join in the fun.

There are also some small shops on both sides of the street, some selling food, some selling clothes, and some selling fun...... Everything you need.

"Yangqingwei Town is still quite lively, how can it be so poor?" Song Wenjian said sincerely.

After hearing this, Dai Wang scolded angrily: "These merchants are cunning and treacherous, they don't have to pay any business taxes, and most of the taxes and grains in the township are paid by our farmers. ”

Wu Guanhai was surprised: "How can this be?" Isn't it true that everyone pays taxes and grain together? ”

"Lord Guanhai, do you know that more than half of the merchants who set up stalls here to do business are businessmen from the county seat, they are not locals, and the business tax is not paid here." Dai Wang said angrily.

Jian Yuping said: "Do they pay their business taxes in the county?" ”

Song Wenjian shook his head and said, "I don't think they will pay at all." ”

There are no businessmen and no traitors, how can these businessmen be so good to return to the county and take the initiative to pay business taxes? They will say that Yangqing Township is very poor, and they lose too much money in trading there, and they don't want to go.

One is that there is no need to pay business tax, and the other is not to allow other competitors to do business in Yangqing Township.

"I don't know if they pay commercial taxes in the county, but I have seen businessmen give money to Mo Weibao in the past." Dai Wang whispered. "Although the other half of the people are from their own township, they are attached to the county or township gentry, and they do not have to pay taxes."

Song Wenjian and the others understood, like Song Wenjian's family, if there is a businessman's business in their family's name, there is no need to pay taxes.

Although it is said that the commercial tax of the Moon Dynasty is not high, generally one out of thirty, but the accumulation of more is also a sum of money.

"Look at that Yunbao restaurant, it was opened by Mo Weibao." Dai Wang pointed to the right. "The guest shop diagonally opposite is opened by the boss of Subo."

Song Wenjian looked at these shops with interest, the rich people were all rich lords. Whatever their family is, they should be able to afford this year's tax grain for the peasant households.

However, they can't afford to make a profit, and they won't do practical things for farmers.

Song Wenjian walked around the town, and Song Wenjian listened to Dai Wang's constant introduction, and also had a certain understanding of Yangqing Township.

Yesterday, he looked at the information in the yamen and found that it was much worse than reality.

Fortunately, he knew Dai Wang, a local, so he was able to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation in Yangqing Township.

Back at the Yamen, Song Wenjian smiled at Dai Wang and said, "Dai Wang, you take a break, let's go to Master Su Botong's house to sit down after a stick of incense." ”

"Young Master, do you want to borrow money from Master Su?" Dai Wang's eyes lit up.

Yangqing Township, except for Mo Weibao, only Su Botong is wealthy.

If Su Botong agrees to borrow money, the problem of tax and grain for the farmers will definitely be solved.

Song Wenjian said: "Well, I looked for him in the afternoon just for this matter." You also have to tell the people in your village that in a few days we will start farming. ”

"What? Farm now? Dai Wang was taken aback. Young master, this must not be, we have no such rules in Leizhou Mansion. ”

"Why is there no such rule?" Song Wenjian asked. "Don't you want to harvest ten stones of grain a year from one acre of farmland?"

"I want to think about it, but I can't break the rules left by my ancestors, otherwise I will be punished by God." Speaking of which, Dai Wang, a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, actually showed fear on his face.
