Chapter 63: Zhang Shicheng's "snail's dwelling" mentality

After listening to the report, Su Zedong nodded with satisfaction, and secretly laughed that this Feng was really forced by himself, and even the rescuers from his hometown moved out, so this game would be fun, and laughed: "Haha, come on, sixth brother, brother, I'll toast you again!" ”

"Hall Master Su actually called himself Sixth Brother!"

Although Su Liuliang's face has not changed, he is already excited in his heart! This has never been heard of before!

Although his age is a few years older than Su Sanda, in terms of force, intelligence and other abilities, Su Sanliang is still a step higher, plus he is the identity of the hall master, and now he actually put down his body and called himself the sixth brother, it is estimated that he noticed that when he said the word "brother", his voice was a little choked!

As Su Zedong spoke, the wine glass in his hand was also raised high, and after clinking glasses with Su Liuliang, he drank it all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Liuliang knew that this wine glass was too small for Hall Master Su, and according to Hall Master Su's usual drinking method, it should be drunk bowl by bowl and pot by pot, but since he was willing to drink with himself and called himself the sixth brother, then this is too much to value himself!

Su Liuliang thought secretly in his heart: Even if he knew that the other party was using himself and buying himself with affection, so what? Have people ever treated themselves badly? Is the salary less than yourself? Have you allowed yourself to be wronged, and have you been like Xiang Feng, showing off your might?

Since there is none, then you have to do your duty, even if you are really being used, so what? Living in this troubled world, don't people survive by exploitation? And Su Zedong is by no means one of those people who value profit and forget righteousness, he works hard for him, but he is his own blessing!

Thinking of this, Su Liuliang really wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Su Zedong to thank him, don't look at his usual few words are ruthless and unrighteous stuffy green, in fact, his heart is enthusiastic, and now it is just because there are many people on this occasion, so he will definitely repay the favor with his actions afterwards!

Just between the words of Su Zedong and others, the organization of this banquet, King Wu of Gaoyou City came to the restaurant, exchanged a few words with everyone, and encouraged a few words politely, and at the same time, he announced his Minister of Finance eight months earlier than expected: Su Zedong.

Subsequently, several of Zhang Shicheng's cronies, on the grounds of Su Zedong's identity and family, obstructed and said a few words, but Zhang Shicheng used these disadvantages to say that this was a benefit, anyway, he was the king of Wu, he was the number one, and now he still holds real power, of course, he said one thing.

Moreover, Su Zedong has also done a lot of hard work, most of the officials in the restaurant have drunk with him, and they can't drink him, and they have also taken some fees from him, and they have multiplied every month, so they dare to do it against those cronies, and more than a dozen people will extinguish their words in a few words.

After the overall situation was decided, Xiang Feng left the banquet in the middle of the banquet, and he left with Zhang Shicheng's cronies and Zhang Shide, naturally after they became Zhang Shicheng's cronies, where did they still suffer this kind of hardship? It seems that King Wu is interested in suppressing their spirit.

But they are not afraid, after all, they still have Xiang Feng in their hands, and besides, they still have a certain amount of power and prestige in the army.

Everyone who left knew this result, since the moment Su Zedong entered the palace yesterday, they had guessed in their hearts that there might be this result, because Su Zedong in Xiang Feng's mouth was a flamboyant guy with no real skills, that is, he could only gain a foothold in Gaoyou City by relying on the forces in the sect.

As for why Dongzhen Company made money, Xiang Feng deliberately avoided this topic, but said that the decision was related to the power of Mingjiao, and it was very likely that it was forced to buy and sell, or even kill for money!

When those cronies heard the news, they were both angry and happy, angry because Xiang Feng told the lie too much and hid the truth too well!

I am happy that even if I have gone too far, I connived at my subordinates to rob the people's daughters, demolished the people's houses privately, and if there was resistance, I would kill all the other people's families in the name of rebellion, and with the help of Xiang Feng's relationship, in Taizhou, Gaoyou and other places where the joint venture purchases casinos, restaurants and other places are prosperous, all the money used is military expenses and taxes in advance, and if it is not enough, I will ask the local officials and Xiang Feng for it.

The local officials were always asked for money by those who wore the uniforms of the rebel army, and they knew that they were sent by Zhang Shicheng's cronies, so since they were famous, when they overcollected taxes, they also thought about making another fortune for themselves!

Then the official tax may only be one tael of silver, and the cronies will add it to one tael or six cents, while the local officials will actually collect two taels of silver! Anyway, as long as it is less than the Yuan court charged, it is one penny, and one less copper plate is considered less, so why not charge more? Besides, Zhang Shicheng, who is the king of Wu, can he not know what small actions these people under him are doing?

Since King Wu, who represents the law, morality, and providence, has turned a blind eye, then the words of their cronies represent morality and law, so no matter how much they loot, the officials will all obey the morality and law of their cronies to do things, and they will not have any worries at all!

Besides, a large part of them are officials in western Zhejiang are officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and they are still in place as officials after Zhao'an, so they all have a certain prestige and means, so what to do before and how to do it now, but the object of service is different, and the waist can be straightened when paying the money, and they will no longer be beaten and scolded by their superiors into dogs, so they must resolutely and firmly complete the tasks of their superiors!

It's just that when they took that set of practices to collect Dongzhen Company's silver, according to Zhang Shicheng's previous preferential policy of halving taxes, all the industries of Dongzhen Company only need to collect 500 taels of silver per month, but the person who collects taxes just said: "This silver can be more or less, it all depends on the mind!" The heart of King Wu, as well as the business of being an official with us. ”

Then you will get a thousand taels of silver!

The big proprietor of Dongzhen Company is really good at being a person, and he collects it every month, and delivers the silver to his hand without waiting for the opening, and the weight is heavier and heavier every time!

This can frighten the household officials who are responsible for collecting taxes in Gaoyou City, and the household minister Meng Changfei is Zhang Shicheng's cronies, so it is not his original intention to collect excess taxes, but others do this, and they must follow suit, and they also know the meaning of Dong Zhenguan, so they say good things about Su Zedong in front of Zhang Shicheng.

Otherwise, Zhang Shicheng is not a philanthropist, how can he know that Su Zedong will make money and have no second thoughts about himself? Therefore, depending on the "silver" paid, the identity of the other party's Juyi Hall master is counted, and the name of the most profitable silver in the entire Gaoyou City is counted!

It's not morality, it's common sense.

Let the people above be comfortable, and the people who work and help can be comfortable.

Of course, in the eyes of Zhang Shicheng's few cronies who eat people and don't spit out bones, Su Zedong's behavior is just playing tricks and shamelessly clinging, but considering that he also got a lot of silver from Dongzhen Company's taxes and "service" fees, even if Xiang Feng asked them to make a move many times, they all refused for various reasons.

They are not fools, they believe that as long as they keep this Su Zedong, Xiang Feng will not be able to get rid of them, in this way, Su Zedong will get three hundred taels on his side, and Xiang Feng will get two hundred and fifty taels on his side, and what they have to do is to balance the forces of the two sides, as long as Su Zedong does not stand in line, does not deviate and does things in a measured manner, they will have to earn!

But this time they can't bear it!

Su Zedong not only became the Minister of Finance of King Wu, but also directly chose to go to Zhang Shicheng's team, now they don't want to leave this scourge, so they think about how to empty King Wu to earn more benefits and authority, and at the same time, they also want to support Xiang Feng to do it to Su Zedong!

Therefore, Zhang Shide and others agreed to take Xiang Feng at the instigation of Wu Shicheng and other cronies.

However, Zhang Shide is not a henchman of a few cronies, and he does not need to rely on them to make money for himself, but in the face of temptation, he and his brother Zhang Shixin will inevitably make a few mistakes and will never be able to withdraw.

After those cronies got Zhang Shide's permission once, they did evil again and again, and in addition to putting Zhang Shicheng in the air, they also had the meaning of putting Zhang Shide and Zhang Shixin in the air.

Although Xiang Feng and a few cronies left, Wu Shicheng couldn't go, because his direct boss was Lu Zhen, and those cronies were only Lu Zhen's sworn brothers Liu, Chen Xiu, Zhou Yan and others, and their prestige and power were not as great as Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen is Zhang Shicheng's confidant, his position is unshakable, then he and Pan Yuanming, Ye Dexin and the betrayal of Zhang Shicheng and Li Baisheng later, although they will either die in battle or surrender, but these are all later words, now they are in a "warm" period with Zhang Shicheng, after all, it is only when the world is fighting, this cake has not become bigger, where is the corruption?

After they worked hard to knock down the rich land in the south, there were more Diao Chan, Xi Shi, Yang Yuhuan in front of them, and there were many gold and silver mountains of jewelry, and they were naturally lingering.

They have no intention of fighting is the aspect, and they are willing and good at fighting in the nest on the other hand, the south of the rich world is the right time and place and people, just two Song Dynasty and three hundred years in this "snail dwelling", no matter how persecuted by foreigners, the camel is bigger than the horse, the place is here, you continue to fight outside, and you don't fight.

But this gold, silver, and woman, if you don't enjoy it, it's no longer absolutely yours!

If they don't have absolute ambition, they will think that as long as they nest here, they will be the world!
