The next morning, it was none other than Liu Hui, the warden of the household money department, who came to report the summer tax. At that time, Ye Junyao was discussing with Wang Fulin about the first chapter of Master Feng's new book on Du Li, when there was a sudden gentle knock on the door outside, and Ye Junyao ordered someone to come in without thinking much about it.

"Honorable, Wang Xiaoxianggong."

Liu Hui's title is above, and he faintly has the posture of leveling Wang Fulin and Ye Junyao. However, he was a little angry at the moment, and he didn't realize his fallacy, and after saluting, he said in a hurried voice: "It stands to reason that starting tomorrow, the grain chiefs of the first few grain districts will officially start collecting summer taxes from the county government collection and transportation warehouses, but this year's summer tax is probably a bit wrong. ”

Although Ye Junyao had already received Wang Daokun's warning from Wang Fulin and Wu Siyi's reminder, he still only felt that his ears were buzzing, and people were a little unstable. He forgot that there was an outsider like Wang Fulin present at this time, and immediately asked angrily: "Paying taxes and paying grain is a matter of course, who eats a bear's heart and a leopard dares to resist the imperial court's taxes?" ”

Liu Hui glanced at Wang Fulin, and then said helplessly: "Forgive me for telling the truth, this is an old problem." Because of the annual office, military expenses and annual tribute, few of the summer taxes and autumn grains in She County have been collected in recent years, and there are a lot of debts. And this year, the county is newly appointed, according to the rules, the grain chiefs always have to give the county face in the first year, and work hard to collect the summer tax and autumn grain, and the next two years will go through the motions in a so-so way, and it is already very complete to have the best achievements. But before Fang County Zun was Ding Wei left office, he had only been a county magistrate for a year, and he had just collected all the summer taxes and autumn grains last year, but he had to collect them again this year, so ......"

Wang Fulin understood the implication of these words, and Ye Junyao also understood it. Wang Fulin thinks that today's Ming Dynasty is known as a peaceful and prosperous era. In fact, he has even dragged on the collection of taxes, and then he thought that his uncle Wu Tianbao was the grain chief this time, and he only remembered this stubble when he came back from Songming Mountain yesterday, and this time he really had to take care of his uncle. And Ye Junyao thought that he was really unlucky as a county magistrate, and he was cheated by his predecessor Fang Huan again and again! One way or another. The room suddenly became cold, and in the end, Liu Hui had to bite the bullet and continue to speak.

"Therefore, the grain chiefs of the first five districts all went to the houses to complain, saying that the chiefs in the countryside were not cooperative, and Wu Si was dealing with them at this time."

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Ye Junyao could only burst out of these few poor words. But after being depressed and annoyed for a while, he suddenly asked in his heart, "What about Zhao Sicheng's younger brother?" His brother is still in prison, how dare he, the grain chief, not do his best? ”

Liu Hui and Zhao Sicheng are the biggest enemies, after all, he almost broke his family and recharged the army at that time. But now I heard it. He smiled bitterly and said: "If you see someone, you will know that Zhao Sicheng's younger brother is an honest and honest person, and his jaw is sharp now." He has been running around in Songming Mountain, Xixinan and other places these days, and one by one the lieutenants begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, hoping to collect the summer tax this time and get his brother out of prison. But after all, they have to collect the same amount of summer tax for two consecutive years, and everyone shouts that they can't bear it, but. He is still the hardest working at all, and he is sure that he can harvest at least seventy percent, and the other grain chiefs are not as good as him. ”

Enmity is revenge. Liu Hui knew that the summer tax was the most important thing for the county government at the moment, so he did not give Zhao Sicheng's younger brother a desperate eye medicine, but continued lightly: "It is said that the Zhao family sold their two hundred acres of land and a shop, and made up a total of five or six hundred taels of silver, and compensated when the preparation was insufficient. Therefore, he must be able to pay taxes in this fifth district. The rest of the districts are hard to say. ”

"Niang Xi Pi ......"

Ye Junyao couldn't help but come up with such a word again, and then rejoiced that the government was temporarily stumped by the case. Won't notice the embarrassment on his side. Otherwise, he has just solved a big case on his side. brought the gospel to the people, and was thinking about how to educate the world, and there was a summer tax crisis over there, and the so-called prestige before became a joke?

Although Wang Daokun has already reminded him, Wang Fulin has not specifically told Ye Xianzun about the white grain of the Fei Pai. At this moment, Ye Junyao coldly caught a glimpse of Wang Fulin, who was thinking hard, and suddenly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he immediately asked, "Fulin, can you go to Mr. Nanming again for an idea?" ”

Wang Fulin had to sigh Ye Xianzun's dependence. You must know that he hasn't figured out the matter of white grain yet, and the specific operation problem is not so easy. So, he could only cough lightly and said: "County Zun, I have to sum up with Liu Dianzhi first, and rashly run to Songming Mountain again and again, which is easy to arouse suspicion." ”

Ye Junyao also knew that he was a little strong, so he pulled his beard painfully at the moment, and then said viciously: "If I had known, I would have copied the Shao family cleanly, at least that money would be more than enough to pay the summer tax of the entire county in She County!" ”

He almost forgot that the deficit on his county government account was temporarily suppressed by Liu Hui with his clever accounting skills!

Not to mention that Ye Junyao thought so, even Wang Fulin thought of the Shao family's big bank tickets of 1,21,000 taels. Before he could speak, Liu Hui immediately shook his head into a rattle: "County Zun, this idea is unthinkable, although it is a county order to break the family, destroy the door order Yin, and the head of the county and county break the house and destroy the door in a fit of anger, this is not uncommon, but if the family wealth is really copied to fill the hole, it will definitely cause a shock in the township, and the disaster is not trivial." Besides, the matter of returning the stolen goods is not over yet, and the Shao family's lawsuit for property has already begun. It's not without benefits, at least no one has the time to pay attention to the summer tax issue on our side. ”

It can't be used to pay taxes, and it can be taken back to fill the deficit at the beginning, why did you forget this stubble!

Ye Dacang thought that his reputation for being fair and selfless in the sky had been spreading for several days, so he could only wave his hand listlessly and said, "Okay, you go and ask what is going on first, and then come back to report me!" ”

As soon as Wang Fulin came out of the study, he asked Liu Hui about his uncle Wu Tianbao. He didn't know if he didn't ask, but after asking, he learned that Wu Tianbao, the grain chief of the fourth district, was indeed in the house right now. Moreover, compared with Zhao Sijie, the younger brother of Zhao Sicheng, who made up his mind to smash the pot and sell iron, he also had to collect the summer tax this time, Wu Tianbao was in the most embarrassing situation among the five grain chiefs this time, because he was running around, and now the summer tax that can be implemented is only 30%, but now there is only one month left before the deadline for the summer tax to be shipped!

Liu Hui didn't know that the middle-aged man who was trained by Wu Si in charge of the case was actually Wang Fulin's uncle, and he was a little embarrassed. Secretary Wu jumped from a white-clothed clerk to the position of secretary, but he succumbed to it, but the two still maintained a good relationship on the face, at least the idlers could not see that they had any suspicions. Besides, now the real person in charge of the affairs of the entire household is him, and Secretary Wu is just a good person, so he is not very easy to fall into the ground, so he can only explain: "Chief Wu didn't make it clear in advance, and Secretary Wu and I didn't know about it......"

"Uncle is such a character." Wang Fulin thought that when Wu Tianbao had a heavy burden, he also left money for himself, and after he cleaned up this fraud case, he forgot to ask about this uncle, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart, "That's it, the state has national laws, and it is inconvenient for me to go to the house." You turn around and say to Commander Wu, put on a tough posture, send the grain chiefs back first, and then send a letter to my uncle, asking him to meet me at the gate of the county office. ”

In the house, Wu Si was putting on a shelf with a straight face to train people. He is very old, and his seniority in the yamen is twice as long as that of Liu Hui, but he has never met the officials who appreciated him before, so he has always sunk into subordinates, until there were two drastic changes in the household, he soared to 90,000 li, and he actually became the head of a house, the official in charge of the case. Therefore, in front of Liu Hui, who lost the position of secretary but became a county celebrity, he was polite, but at this time, in front of the grain chief who came to complain, he would not be polite at all, until after knocking lightly on the door outside, Liu Hui flashed in, and he immediately put away his mean look and showed a warm expression.

"Liu Lingshi is back."

This was originally just a greeting, but what Wu Siyi didn't expect was that Liu Hui walked quickly to his side and whispered in his ear. He thought that the county lord had some instructions, but when he understood it, his face immediately changed. The county government has been in the office for a long time, and he is used to seeing the ebb and flow of the people, and Wu Siguan thinks that he is very normal, but this ordinary heart will come to naught after sitting in the position of the boss. It was precisely because he knew very well that Wang Xiaoxiu's recent murderous reputation was true, not a rumor, and he even met quietly and tried to show goodwill, so he broke out in a cold sweat when he thought that he had just scolded his uncle for a bloody head.

And Liu Hui now wants him to use tough words to drive away these grain chiefs!

Secretary Wu almost wondered if Liu Hui had deliberately harmed him! can think that the two of them have not torn their faces at least these days, he can only take a deep breath of the letter suspiciously, and then slapped the table and said: "Okay, the summer tax is a national tax, how can you bargain!" This official is in charge of the household, where can I have so much time to grind my teeth with you, come here, send you out the grain! ”

The grain chiefs of the first five districts are all honest people, and none of them are country bullies who use the grain chiefs as a means of fishing, so at this time, when Wu Si turned his face and drove people away, they had no choice but to get up and leave humiliatingly. Liu Hui sent the person to the door of the house with a smiling face, and only whispered a few words to Wu Tianbao when he passed by.

This time the grain harvest was not going well, Wu Tianbao was in an extremely heavy mood, but after hearing Liu Hui reminding him, he went out of the county office and saw Wang Fulin standing under the tree waiting for him, he only felt that his heart was wide.

"Shuangmu." Seeing Wang Fulin hurrying up, he shook his head and said, "I said about this grain chief, you don't have to worry." ”

"A family doesn't speak two words. Uncle come home with me first, Erniang and little sister are waiting for you! (To be continued)
