Du Sheng knew that this guy wanted to be crooked, he didn't come for a mere two thousand taels of silver, but for the 100,000 taels of silver that had been handed over to the treasury.

Now that winter is about to begin, the year's tax silver will be handed over to the imperial court at the beginning of spring every year.

During this period, the 30% of the tax that needs to be paid every month is deposited into Taifeng Qianzhuang in the joint name of the county government and the Hou government.

After the beginning of spring, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and the county government sent people to escort the silver tickets to Qinjing, and the silver was brought out and handed over to the imperial court at the Taifeng Qianzhuang General Account in the capital.

Taifeng Qian Zhuang is the largest and safest money bank in Qin State, and the silver can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles when it goes from the bank.

The joint supervision of the county government and the Hou government can effectively guarantee the tax revenue account.

The monthly deposit is mainly for the commercial tax. Of course, due to geographical factors in Ninghai County, there is an off-season after winter, and the commercial activities in this season are also the time for those commercial houses to make money from local people.

Most of the necessities such as cotton clothes, cotton cloth, salt, and grain for the winter need to be purchased from other places. Ninghai County and even the entire Lingnan County do not produce these things.

Therefore, in the next three months, according to the practice of previous years, there are still nearly 50,000 taels of silver in taxes that need to be handed over to the state treasury.

Since Ninghai County developed into an important commercial town, the total annual tax revenue is about 45 to 500,000 taels. The part handed over to the imperial court is about 150,000 taels.

Such a large sum of silver, even compared to the county town, is not much worse.

Such a big piece of fat, who doesn't have hot eyes!

Even the one sitting on the dragon chair can't be ignored!

"There is no need to audit the accounts, and the reputation of the Taifeng is still guaranteed. Shopkeeper Wu, I came today to bring out all the money deposited in your money bank in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. ”

Du Sheng didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and directly said what he meant today.

"No problem, I'll get people ready. Zhang Gui, why don't you go and withdraw the 28,000 taels of silver that Hou Ye has deposited in our bank?! ”

Wu Fatzi nodded without hesitation and agreed, and immediately beckoned the people below to take the silver.

"Yes, I'll pick it up right away."

One of the guys said yes, turned around and walked briskly towards the backyard.

"Wait."

As soon as the guy took a few steps, Du Sheng's voice rang out again.

When the guy heard Du Sheng's words, he subconsciously stopped, and looked at the shopkeeper with a look of invitation.

"It's not 28,000 taels, it's 128,000 taels!"

Du Sheng stood up with a horsewhip, walked up to Wu Fatzi step by step and said.

"What? 128,000 taels !! ”

The fat on Fat Wu's face shook, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Isn't the amount of money deposited into your bank on time every month the Hou Mansion's deposit?"

The corners of Du Sheng's mouth hooked, and his voice was three points colder.

"This ...... Master Hou, aren't you embarrassed villain, the silver has to be handed over to the imperial court, and it needs to be signed and sealed by you and the county lord before it can be proposed. ”

Fat Wu's face changed drastically, and he stared at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

If it weren't for seeing that there was no smile on the other party's face, Wu Fatzi would definitely think that Du Sheng was full and had nothing to do, and deliberately joked with him.

Moving the silver of the imperial court, isn't this looking for death?

"You just need to know that this money was deposited by the Hou Mansion, and now I have to bring it up!"

Du Sheng's face turned cold, and he looked at him lightly and said.

A beautiful maid happened to carefully bring two cups of tea and soup, Du Sheng took one cup and sat back on the chair again, crossed Erlang's legs to open the lid and added, "Give you a cup of tea time to prepare silver." ”

"Master Hou, I ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Wu Fatzi looked anxious and wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was suddenly stepped forward and glared angrily, and Wang Lao Liu, who had pulled out half of his waist knife, shouted and stopped in fright.

Wang Lao Liu really came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, he usually looked fine, but once he was angry, the strong evil aura on his body instantly came out.

Not to mention a pampered businessman like Wu Fatzi, even Du Sheng, who was about to drink tea next to him, was shaken by his right hand that was suddenly frightened, and almost spilled the tea soup on his hand.

"Yes, yes, the villain will go and prepare the silver immediately."

Wu Fatzi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and he knew that something was going to happen when he saw this posture, so he had to agree to come down first.

Du Sheng is impulsive and reckless, he has long been famous in Ninghai County, and Wu Fatzi doesn't want to anger this little marquis.

Wu Fatzi, who retreated from the hall to the backyard, immediately found two henchmen and ordered: "You go and prepare silver for Hou Ye immediately!" Ah Qi, you immediately go out through the back door to report to the county lord and ask him to come over quickly. ”

"Master, that's the tax money paid to the court. If something goes wrong, you'll be killed! ”

"Lao Tzu knows! The virtue of the master outside, don't you know? Didn't you see all the knives drawn just now! ”

Fat Wu lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, glared at the person on the left, and walked towards the silver vault with sweat on his forehead.

", what the is this?"

Du Sheng picked up the teacup and was about to moisten his throat, when he suddenly smelled a strange fishy smell, and he almost didn't vomit it when he smoked it.

Now Wang Lao Liu, who was on the left, leaned forward, looked at the teacup in his hand, swallowed enviously, and said suspiciously: "Master Hou, this is the best tea soup." ”

"What's this thing floating up there?" Du Sheng asked in disgust as he put the cup on the table.

"Judging by the color and fragrance, it should be boiled out of the best mutton fat and precious herbs."

"Oil?! ...... vomit"

When Du Sheng saw the thick layer of grease floating in the cup, he only felt a tumbling stomach and almost vomited out his morning in disgust.

He subconsciously recalled the tea soup in this world in his mind, and it was really like what he was looking at.

The tea soup at home of the rich and powerful is generally boiled with good mutton fat and some herbs that are intentional to the body, and according to the weight of each person's taste, more or less some refined salt will be added to it.

The tea soup of the poor is made with lard and one or two cheap herbs. The salt is also coarse salt, and I am reluctant to put more.

Like the cup of tea soup with old ginseng in front of Du Sheng, it is equivalent to the best Longjing that Du Sheng loved to drink in his previous life.

"Wang Lao Liu, this cup of tea is rewarded to you, hurry up and drink it, I look disgusting."

Du Sheng quickly turned his face to the side, and wanted to vomit at the thought of that thick layer of oil.

"Thank you, Lord Hou."

Wang Laoliu's eyes had already quietly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and as soon as he heard Du Sheng's words, he took a big gulp of the teacup and drank it. I'm afraid that someone will rob him.

If Du Sheng saw the satisfied look on this product, maybe he would really spit it out.

He never thought that the tea in this world would be such a thing.

For a person who has been drinking tea for more than ten years and loves tea, it is a terrible thing.

"I don't know if there is such a thing as tea in this world, if only I could find a tea tree!"

Du Sheng's favorite tea in his previous life was Wuyishan Da Hong Pao, in order to drink the most authentic Da Hong Pao, he also personally went to Wuyi Mountain to visit a ninety-year-old roasted tea master. The master saw that he loved tea so much, and passed on the skill of roasting tea to Du Sheng.
