Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Complete Break
Ying Xiaosi turned his head along the voice and looked, only to see that not far away, Zhu Wei was in front, those powerful people in the Lion City were behind, and even those officials who couldn't invite Ying Xiaosi were also a lot, and this group of people walked towards Ying Xiaosi's platform with such a swagger, and the surrounding people avoided it when they saw this, for fear that one would accidentally be caught and cause a big disaster.
"Who am I, it turned out to be Finance Minister Zhu, how do you know that I raised funds for charity, and I specially brought officials of all sizes to congratulate me?"
"Humph!"
Zhu Wei snorted coldly, and did not answer, but said proudly: "Win the city lord, as the lord of a city, you should have a leading role, but you know the law and break the law, which makes our colleagues feel cold." ”
Seeing that Zhu Wei didn't even talk about the most basic politeness, Ying Xiaosi also put away his smiling face, put on a businesslike look and asked, "I just don't know why Finance Minister Zhu is breaking the law by knowing the law?" I just heard what you said about the silver in the Lion City Treasury, if I remember correctly, I haven't touched a single cent of the silver in the Treasury. ”
"Untouched? I don't think so! ”
Zhu Wei smugly pointed to the advertising spaces that were erected and said: "Those poles are erected in the public area of the Lion City, then they should belong to the official of the Lion City, and the proceeds should naturally go to the treasury. ”
In the face of Zhu Wei's questioning, Ying Xiaosi did not panic, but asked rhetorically: "Oh? Then I'm strange, you said that this place belongs to the Lion City official, so there is a title deed? Are there any other instruments? As long as you can show proof that this place is official, I will immediately pay these silver taels into the treasury!" ”
Evidence?
Now it's Zhu Weimeng's turn, the official of the Lion City has always issued the title deed to the outside world, and he has never proved himself, because this is simply taking off his pants and farting - there is no need, but although it is a consensus that the land in the Lion City belongs to the official of the Lion City, there has never been anything in writing, or it is not impossible to sign a title deed, but the title deed must have the seal of the city lord, looking at Ying Xiaosi's evil smile, Zhu Wei knew that it was impossible for him to stamp a seal!
"Humph! In any case, it is not right for you, as the lord of the city, to ignore the drought and collect money privately! ”
"Joke!"
With his hands behind his back, Ying Xiaosi walked in front of Zhu Wei with a sneer, and his eyes crossed Zhu Wei and fell on the powerful people behind him.
"Am I ignoring the drought, or are you ignoring the drought! It's just that some money is allocated from the treasury to dredge the canal, and you say that you push back and block, this and that, aren't you just unwilling to pay! Then, you control the treasury and don't pay for it, okay, if I don't come out, I won't look for you, I really don't believe that a living person can suffocate urine! ”
Ying Xiaosi turned around and said loudly in front of the people all over the city: "I know, we civilians have no status, and the status of merchants is even lower, but we have never fallen behind in paying grain and taxes, these powerful people eat ours, use ours, and it is natural for them to be powerful, then I don't understand, why is it so difficult to ask them to come up with some money to dredge the canals to resist the drought!" If the crops in this field are really lost, will they not want this year's grain and taxes? ”
As soon as the conversation changed, Ying Xiaosi sneered and said: "If it is according to the practice of previous years, this tax is probably a lot of money, and it would be good to add a little bit of political achievements." ”
"Win the Little Four!"
Zhu Wei's angry voice changed, and he saw that he didn't even call the city lord anymore, and shouted directly with a green face: "Don't forget your identity!" Don't forget where you stand! I don't care what you were before, you are now the lord of the Lion City, and you represent the interests of the elite! If you act so recklessly, I will report to the royal court to impeach you!" ”
"I'll have to wait for the document of King Yan's removal to arrive in the Lion City!"
Ying Xiaosi was also angry, raised his foot and kicked over the table in front of him, stepped on it and said loudly: "From today on, the City Lord's Mansion will newly establish a Lion City Foundation, and in the future, all the income from advertising space will enter the internal operation of the foundation, and the main direction of use of the silver money is military supplies and people's livelihood!" The financial situation is supervised by the city lord's government, the chamber of commerce and the representatives of the people, and the account details are published every six months, so that the people of the Lion City know whether these benefits have been implemented on their own heads! ”
"Good!"
The surrounding people suddenly erupted into a tsunami-like shout! The cry from the bottom of his heart was deafening, startling Zhu Wei and a group of powerful people to keep retreating, and even some panic.
Cheng Xu, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated expression, he had imagined countless results, and even formulated a strategy on how to make a profit, but now it seems that it is not needed. Ying Xiaosi's actions today completely made his position clear, and then the contradiction with Zhu Wei was completely intensified, and only when one of them fell between the two of them could this matter be regarded as the end. And he, Cheng Xu, has the support of Yan Wangji behind him, and naturally belongs to the elite class, and it won't be long before Zhu Wei comes to him to discuss cooperation.
"Win the Little Four! You! You! ”
Zhu Wei was so choked by Win Xiaosi that he couldn't speak, and the magnates and officials behind him also looked at each other, they wanted to overwhelm people with power, and it was expected that Win Xiaosi would not dare to offend so many magnates, but they didn't expect that Win Xiaosi didn't have that concept at all, and they basically offended the entire elite class in a few words, they hadn't seen such officials before, but they had only one ending, dismissal at best, and death at worst!
Zhao Shuang, the head of the Zhao family, walked up to Zhu Wei and whispered: "Little grandfather, this win Xiaosi is too strong for Wang Ba to eat the scales, and we can't convince him here, so let's go back to the house first." We have a way to deal with such a stunned young man, and he wins Xiaosi and does things so without leaving a way back, offending this officials up and down, it is too easy to isolate him, and when he can't move an inch, it's not too late for us to swallow his foundation in one bite. ”
"Whew!"
Zhu Wei let out a long breath, looking at Ying Xiaosi's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man, Zhao Shuang's words are reasonable, without the support of these people, Ying Xiaosi is a light commander, what else can he do?
"I'm a little unwell, so I won't participate in tomorrow's court meeting, so you can do it yourself."
Zhu Wei turned around and said lightly to the Lion City officials who followed, and then left with those powerful people on their own, those officials glanced at each other, naturally understood what Zhu Wei meant, nodded and followed behind.
On this wide main street, on one side are the boiling people of the mountains and tsunamis, and on the other side are the lifeless magnates of the Lion City, and the two completely different momentum collide together, shooting out sparks!
