Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Reversal!
This kid really found fault again!
Zhao Sicheng already felt that his whole face was tense, if it weren't for the fact that this was the court, if it weren't for someone behind Wang Fulin, he couldn't wait to rush up and scold, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth and ask: "What else does Wang Xiaoxianggong have to teach?" ”
"Don't dare." Wang Fulin casually spit out four words, and suddenly changed his words, "Secretary Zhao, do you think I'm a fool, I don't remember the numbers from the past?" Silk and tea aside, the summer tax of the right wheat, consumption wheat, foot wheat, all have a fixed number, why this year than last year? You don't mean to put all of last year's arrears into this year, do you? ”
As long as all the grain chiefs listened to the drawing in the court, these numbers became a task that must be completed, Zhao Sicheng did not expect that in Fang Xiancheng's anxious and fast recitation, Wang Fulin would still be able to distinguish the numbers, and looking at the situation, he had already inquired about the amount of last year's summer tax, and he sighed in his heart. After listening to the construction of the first bookstore, he deliberately added an extra 20% to the grain area where Wang Fulin was located, which completely made him unable to turn over, and even if the people in the countryside were noisy, he could use it to fill the arrears, but he didn't expect to be heard from the beginning.
He understood that Wang Fulin was purely a-stirring stick when he came here today, so he simply tore his face and said: "That's right, last year's arrears were settled this year, and it is justified!" ”
Only then did Wang Fulin arch his hand to the other grain chiefs and said, "Justified? Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that it is natural that the summer tax and various annual expenses to be collected in each grain area will be increased by 20%? Nowadays, the grain chief is a round a year, each in charge of a year, regardless of the past, who wants to carry the black pot for the predecessor, and let the villagers and elders point to the backbone and scold the mother? ”
Boom -
Even the bullies who had nothing to do with themselves before were quite suspicious in their hearts when they listened to the numbers just now, and they couldn't help but change their faces at this moment. By rubbing oil when collecting taxes, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and they are familiar with the road, but one or two silver is charged an extra six or seven cents or even eight or nine cents, the problem is not big, and there will be an extra two percent at once, and the township is going to blow up the pot, and where is the room for themselves to take the opportunity to send more? No matter how ruthless their methods are and how strong their background is, I am afraid they will not be able to resist it!
"Secretary Zhao, what's going on?"
"When will the summer tax be collected, it will be linked to last year's arrears!"
"There is no such reason!"
Zhao Sicheng really woke up at this time. Where could he be so stupid as to add last year's arrears to the fifteenth grain area, but he made a little move in the grain area where Wang Fulin is located, and the amount of summer tax in the rest of the grain areas is still the same as last year, but at this time, he was instigated by Wang Fulin, and it was actually one person who exploded! He was only concentrating on Wang Fulin's words and deeds just now, and he didn't pay attention to the numbers of Fang County Cheng Nian at all! In an instant, he set his eyes on Fang Xiancheng on the throne, but he didn't want to follow him all the time, and suddenly slapped the startled wood hard, and actually shouted angrily.
"Secretary Zhao, what the hell is going on! Is what the food chiefs said true? ”
Zhao Sicheng rushed to the right position in three steps and two steps, didn't even ask, and snatched the pile of words and papers full of numbers from the big case. This is what he handed over to Fang Xiancheng, and several corresponding numbers for each grain area are clear at a glance. It was written by his own hand, but the handwriting is still familiar, but the numbers are completely wrong. Except for Wang Fulin's grain area, the remaining fourteen grain areas have all risen by two percent compared to their original numbers!
But these words and papers full of numbers, he handed them to Fang Xiancheng by hand, how could they be completely different from what he wrote at the beginning!
He looked at Fang Xiancheng, who was sitting like a clock, and finally understood, and shouted in shock and anger: "You dare to ......"
"What you! Judge Zhao, you are simply bold! Fang Xiancheng knocked down the shocking wood for the second time today, and said viciously, "What a big deal this summer tax collection, how can you change the ancestral system without authorization!" Someone, pick up his robe for me! ”
Seeing that the two wolf-like soaps pounced on him, dragged himself away from Fang Xiancheng's side, and took off the proud robe and green shirt after dividing five by two, and pressed him to his knees, Zhao Sicheng only felt that his temples were about to explode, full of fishy sweetness, and his chest was also tingling and unbearable. He looked up viciously at Fang Xiancheng, who he thought was completely controlled in the palm of his hand, but it was still a little unbelievable that he had been planted in the hands of such a little person who had never looked down on him.
And Fang Xiancheng directly picked off Zhao Sicheng's official robe with an order, and then solemnly bowed his head to the stunned many grain chiefs and said: "The ancestral system is unbreakable, and the amount of summer tax this year should remain the same." It's just that there is such a mistake in the house today, and the amount of the previous summer tax has to be reorganized, so please stay in the county seat for a while, and you will be summoned before the evening application time to re-announce. ”
Whether it was the cowering villagers who served as the grain chief for the first time, or the old oilmen who already regarded this as a way to make money, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They don't care what the officials Zhao does, as long as the amount they are responsible for is not too much higher than in previous years, they can barely cope when they go back. Therefore, one by one, the grain chiefs saluted Fang County, the acting county commander, with a smile on their faces, and then retired without saying a word.
Wang Fulin also saluted and left with Wu Tianbao. Just out of the lobby, he smiled apologetically at Wu Tianbao and said, "Please uncle go first, I still have some things to do." ”
Wu Tianbao was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Wang Fulin, who had no intention of leaving at all, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step to leave. Because he instinctively felt that staying here didn't seem to do his nephew any good, but would get in the way. It's just that when he left the county government from the long road, he couldn't help but glance back.
But I saw that under the steps in front of the lobby, although Wang Fulin's standing figure was not tall, his back was straight!
At this moment, he remembered the reminders and teachings he had given to his nephew before, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The child's father, have you seen it, Shuangmu has grown up!
The idle people and others were all gone, and Zhao Sicheng's henchmen who stayed in the lobby faced such a big reversal, and at this time someone finally came back to their senses. Just now, the grain department warden who was sent by Zhao Sicheng to investigate actually shouted at Fang County: "Fang Er Yin, you are just because the county is sick, and you have only been temporarily acting for a few days as the county order, why do you dare to dismiss Zhao Sicheng!" ”
"Just rely on you saying that I am acting for the county order, and I will get rid of a history of the green shirt order, naturally it is just a sentence!" It was the first time in his life that Fang Xian Cheng was so strong, he only felt that the taste was really happy, and he couldn't help but slap the shocking wood on the big case again, and then pointed at the warden who jumped out and shouted, "On the contrary, it's you, a mere warden, who dare to roar the court like this?" Someone came, and he also picked up his shirt for the county, and this county yamen can't tolerate such a fanatic who doesn't understand the distinction between upper and lower! ”
