Chapter 293: County Magistrate Fang Arrives
The county magistrate Fang said so, if you don't answer the topic and don't get straight to the point, you will inevitably look a little childish.
But Wang Shihua is Wang Shihua, although he is not polite to County Magistrate Fang, how can he let the initiative of the conversation be in the hands of the other party.
"Don't dare to be... However, I really have an urgent matter here, and I want to ask the county magistrate to make the decision for us. ”
Asking for help~... Naturally, he couldn't be strong, seeing that Wang Shihua not only didn't answer the topic, but wanted to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to join his army, although Fang Jue was a little unhappy in his heart, he was stronger than others, so he could only say with a smile: "Please speak." ”
"Some time ago, some bandits disguised themselves as victims to make trouble in the town, and I beat them out twice in succession, I don't know what the county magistrate thinks about this?"
You are too small-bellied, I just wanted to add fuel to the fire to write that letter to you, I didn't expect that it would be more than half a month, and you would mention it when you met. However, Fang Jue really didn't care much about this question, and replied casually: "Master Wang, there are no outsiders, and I will give you a real idea: this is the business of your four major families, even if I want to, I can't manage it..."
I don't want to think about it, that's support for me, at least for now.
Wang Shihua smiled and picked up the teacup, saluted the other party, and drank the tea.
Fang Jue just politely picked up the teacup, didn't drink it, but said with a straight face: "Speaking of this, I remembered something. Master Wang, yesterday I received an order from above: Now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have reconciled and unanimously dealt with the Japanese devils. Therefore, if your detective team discovers the communist guerrillas again, they must not arrest and kill them again, lest they take on the overall situation of undermining the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party...... The prefectural notice will be posted today. ”
"What kind of time is this?" Wang Shihua was shocked by this shocking news, but he didn't take it to heart, because he felt that such a war was too far away from him...... On July 7, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party announced their solidarity and cooperation, and it has only reached here today.
"The decree sent above says it looks like July 7."
"In the future, wouldn't the Communist Party be able to walk openly on the streets of the party-state, and even more mobilize the masses to fight local tyrants and divide the land?"
"It's okay to walk on the street, but if you want to fight local tyrants and divide the land from before, do you think it's possible?" Speaking of this, Fang Jue became a little interested, put down the teacup, leaned closer, and whispered: "I heard that they seem to be under the command of Chairman Jiang now, and they have specially established the Eighth Route Army, referred to as the Eighth Route Army. ”
Wang Shihua pursed his lips and said: "The two sides have been fighting for so many years and so many people have died, I didn't expect to reconcile when I said reconciliation." Tut... Tut... It's really impermanent. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? But there's no way around it. The Japanese devils and wolves have ambitions and want to annex our whole of China, and if the two sides continue to fight, the Japanese devils will be cheapened in vain, and then the country will really be destroyed. For the sake of the overall situation, the previous grievances and grievances have to be put aside. ”
Wang Shihua couldn't figure out whether his last sentence was a tactful reminder to cooperate with him, or whether he was nagging. But judging from the current situation, it is okay to cooperate with Fang Jue in private, but to cooperate publicly, the Wang family has not yet reached the strength of one to three. Of course, he didn't pay attention to the Japanese devils' delusional attempt to annex China: If you have the ability, you come to Xiangxi to fight with me?
"By the way, County Magistrate Fang, what advice do you have for coming to the door this time?"
Seeing Wang Shihua change the topic, Fang Jue was very pity: he also wanted to take the opportunity to fan Wang Shihua and establish the Jiangyin County Salvation Association. This salvation society is really different from the previous Freemasonry, which can be declared to the top and officially recognized by the government. When the time comes, if you become the president, you will be able to use the excuse of saving the country, not only can you break the blockade and high pressure of the four major families on you, but you can also get a lot of political capital, and you can also take the opportunity to do some practical things for the people. For example, if you use the excuse of saving the country to requisition some food, and then turn it into disaster relief materials, the people can get a few more bites...... Of course, this is a question of personal ability and vision. Wang Shihua later became the president, and he said a very beautiful and practical, but also quite domineering shameless words: country, country... If you don't even love the country, you refuse to donate food to the country, and you don't support the War of Resistance, you are a traitor and an enemy, and it is natural for Lao Tzu to kill you, and it is reasonable to rob your family's food.
It's just that in his opinion, Wang Shihua, who is the most open-minded of the four major families, is not interested in this, and the other three families don't need to think about it.
"Advice is something you don't dare to do." Fang Jue said with a smile: "It's just that now that the disaster has risen, there is a tendency to spread dramatically, and you also know the food situation in the county, which is really a drop in the bucket." Therefore, I hope that the lord of the royal family has helped to save the people from fire and water...... I will definitely report it, and let the above give you an official and a half-position, and set up a monument to pass it on, so that the people will remember your righteous deeds forever......"
Fang Jue said a lot of beautiful words, which can be summed up in four words: donate food for free... What kind of official and half-position, Wang Shihua can't even look down on the position of county magistrate, how can he care. As for the rest, for Wang Shihua, who only wants to fight for the benefits of the Wang family, it is even more nonsense.
As an aside: that is, the Wang family is strong, and Fang Jue does not have a large army in his hands, otherwise, with the two-pole character of the square pole and the temper of the cow, he will definitely find an excuse to go to the door to grab grain and distribute it to the people for Wang Shihua's extremely bad behavior of hoarding grain and strange goods.
Wang Shihua listened with a smile on his eyebrows, and nodded from time to time, but he thought disdainfully in his heart: Fang Jue, Fang Jue... You're taking me for a fool. I thought that with your two mouths, I would send you food in a hurry. You don't want to inquire about me, who Wang Shihua is? If you really want to be so fooled, you will have been swallowed by the other three families a long time ago, and there are no bones left...... Hey~... That's not right... This surnamed Fang obviously knows that I am not easy to deal with, but he still wants to come to pat me on the back, and he will definitely not have no backhand. Then, with a little persecution, I will know what he is exchanging for food.
Of course, for Wang Shihua, who is planning to put some grain in, but is thinking about how to use the grain to get greater benefits other than money from the big guys, this is really someone who sends a pillow if he wants to sleep, so he is naturally very interested in talking about it with the other party.
"County Magistrate Fang, you are right, it's just that my Wang family doesn't have any surplus food in their hands... I am going to help the people, so who will save the children of my royal family? They are going to starve to death, and I, Wang Shihua, as the head of the family, will not only have to be poked in the back, but also have no face to go to the nine springs to see the ancestors of the Wang family after death. ”
Even the ancestors have moved out, which shows that Wang Shihua does not see rabbits and eagles... But for Wang Shihua's answer, Fang Jue didn't feel strange at all, he had already prepared, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you and I are just here to get straight to the point?" ”
"Good..."
"How much food can you take out?"
How could Wang Shihua be willing to fall for this, and asked with a smile: "How much money can you come up with at most?" ”
Everyone knows that the main sources of financial revenue in the county are divided into three parts: the most important is the tax revenue of Shendao Town and the county seat, followed by the county's tax revenue outside the territory of the four major families, and finally the annual tax paid by the four major families: the taxes in the territory of the four major families are collected by the four major families, and how much they collect is their own business, and the government will not ask, and each of the four major families pays a tax of 1,000 oceans to the government every year...... This is a rule set ten years ago, although the price has risen now, that regulation has long been out of date, but because the county magistrate Tian is a member of the Tian family, he will naturally not raise taxes, and now the county magistrate Fang dreams of raising taxes, but he does not have the ability, so although the county magistrate Fang has mentioned several tax increases to the four major families, no one has paid attention to him, so he has not followed.
Wang Shihua's question is really to the point, because even a three-year-old child knows: the government has no money... In addition to handing over and all sorts of public and private personal interceptions, the rest can barely maintain the salaries of government workers on time every month.
Fang Jue smiled, and he didn't smile embarrassed.
"Master Wang, if the government wants to be rich, I won't slap your ass."
Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fang Jue to speak so funny, and immediately burst out laughing.
"County Magistrate Fang, I also give you a word of truth, I have the grain, but the problem is that the grain in my hand did not fall from the sky, but I bought it with the real ocean. For the sake of your willingness to bow down for the people, if you want me to take out the grain, yes, as long as you give cash, I will definitely sell your grain happily, and I will never embarrass you. ”
"Master Wang, I really don't have any money."
"County Magistrate Fang, you are not kind, you obviously have money in your hand, but you ran to my head of the family to cry poor." Just when Wang Shihua was about to continue to force Fang Jue to come up with the bottom line, he saw Uncle Jiang walking in quickly with a smile.
"I've seen the head of the family, and I've seen the county magistrate." After Uncle Jiang saluted the two, he smiled at Wang Shihua and said, "Family master, there is an urgent matter, the old slave was about to ask you to take an idea, and when he walked to the door, he just heard you talking with County Magistrate Fang, but he didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”
This is just a polite explanation, if it weren't for the intentional eavesdropping, Tie Niu would have used a stick to drive people away, how could he let you eavesdrop for a long time?
"It's okay, sit..."
"Don't sit down, master, there's an urgent matter outside, please go and take a look."
"Didn't you see that I was speaking to the county magistrate? If there's something urgent, you can just watch and do it. ”
Uncle Jiang smiled very well and said nothing, with a posture of 'you have to go in person'.
Wang Shihua was very 'helpless' to get up and hug his fists at Fang Jue, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Fang, I'm really sorry, you can do it for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
The matter has not been negotiated yet, and County Magistrate Fang will naturally not give up halfway.
After leaving the study and walking around the corner, Wang Shihua asked with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, what kind of trick are you playing?" The surname Fang is obviously not rich, why do you have to say that he is rich? ”
"Master of the house, forgive the old slave for being bold, the old slave doesn't dare to agree with what you say." Uncle Jiang showed that smile like an old fox again, and said confidently: "The person surnamed Fang is really rich, and besides, he has a lot of money. ”
"Oh~... Is he willing to take out his private money for official business? Even if there were, it was probably not much. ”
"It's not his money, it's the government's money."
"Okay, Uncle Jiang, don't go around in circles, tell me quickly: where does the government have money?"
"The head of the family, the government doesn't have cash, but they have the power to tax in their hands, this thing is much better than cash~..."
Wang Shihua's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Now that the people of the whole county have suffered disasters, what is the use of this?" ”
"The whole county has been devastated by the disaster, but there are two government industries that are still thriving." Uncle Jiang smiled confidently: "One is Shendao Town, and the other is the county seat. These two taxes are not a small amount. ”
Wang Shihua's eyes instantly lit up like lights, shining brightly, and his whole body exuded an aggressive momentum......
