Chapter 140 Suzhou Zhixian
"If the two of you don't have any other problems, then you will forgive the official who is entangled in official duties and cannot be accompanied." But seeing that this Suzhou magistrate didn't seem to care about what the Yu gang leader said, he was ready to give the eviction order.
Gang Leader Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. When she came to Suzhou County to inspect the salt transportation business here, she found that the business here was quite difficult, and after some inquiry, she found out that it was because the county magistrate was too upright and upright, and there was no room for flexibility at all. I am afraid that this Suzhou County is the only "pure land" in the whole of Jiangsu. But at the moment, I can be regarded as having traveled a long distance, and it is absolutely impossible to give up, and it is this that others can't do it to do it by yourself.
At this time, Prince John also understood the expulsion order of the Tang Dynasty prince in front of him. It is said that he has never been so neglected when he has come to Datang several times, not to mention that this time he came with the Yu Gang Master of the One Hundred and Ten People, so he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. Angry, but he didn't dare to write it on his face, after all, he still didn't dare to offend the court officials of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, if he angered the other king, not only would it be difficult to say whether he was dead or alive, but he was afraid that the entire Anglo royal family might be buried with him.
"Slow down, adults! In fact, the words of the folk girl just now were not finished. Looking at my Tang Dynasty, in addition to the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, the most prosperous is the Jiangnan area. There are Jinling tea ceremony, Yangzhou salt road, Suzhou weaving, the whole of Jiangsu every year these products brought by these taxes are enough to cover the sum of all taxes in any state and county. Let's just say that this Suzhou weaving, as early as a few dynasties, there was a Silk Road to foreign countries, and now there are still Persian merchants and food merchants who go back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and do this silk business. And the son of John next to me is the head of the Anglo royal family in the West. Every year, tens of thousands of silk cloths are brought back to the West from our Datang by his hands, and they buy them from Nabu Zhuang at a price that is even lower than the market price. But since these cloths are sold to the West, why don't they impose a tax on these materials that go out of our Datang Territory? In this way, it will not only protect my Datang native people, but also increase the income of my Datang treasury. took their Yi people's money to pay for the construction of my Datang, why not? Yu Gang said in a flurry of words.
The son of John on the side vaguely understood some of the content, and was about to interject with an anxious look on his face, but he met the calm gaze of the Yu gang leader beside him, so he had to give up.
"......" After hearing these words, the county magistrate fell into deep thought. I have to admit that what the woman in front of me said does have some truth. The silk silk that is shipped from the Tang Dynasty to the Yi people abroad every year is indeed not a small amount, and for those merchants, whoever sells it is the same, and they only recognize silver. However, the same price made the local materials of Datang flow to those Yi tribes, and there were some people who had hidden evil intentions and were eyeing my Datang. If she said that additional taxes would be levied, she would be able to use the money of the Yi clan to fill the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and it could even be used as military salaries or for the people. However, if such a tax is really imposed, it is a bit contrary to hospitality. After all, Datang is now a ceremonial state, and there are thousands of countries coming to the court every year, and if you act like this, it will damage the face of the society.
The official made a note of this proposal first. However, it is difficult to say whether it can be implemented. Moreover, although such trade and trade are not suitable for diplomatic relations, they are somewhat related. For the time being, I can only present this proposal to the Governor and report it to His Excellency the Governor. After weighing left and right, the magistrate said.
"What your lord said is very true. The folk girl also has some words to give to the adults here. ”
"You say, the official listens." After seeing the power of the woman in front of him, the magistrate also became a little humble at this moment.
"As the people said before, it is indeed a blessing for the people to have such ambitions as adults. If everyone acts like an adult in the entire Jiangsu officialdom and even in my upper and lower circles, my Datang will inevitably be more peaceful and prosperous. However, in this temple, colleagues like adults should be in the minority, and in this way, adults will inevitably be ostracized by their colleagues. In the officialdom, those who disagree with politics are already very easy to make enemies, and if you touch the mold of the evil forces of the local squire, there will be villains to stumble you in the future. There is a way that open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent; Rather than mess with the villain. Therefore, I hope that my lord will think carefully for my functions in the future, protect my self wisely, and never let the people of Suzhou County lose my parents like you. I saw that the Yu gang leader said sincerely.
"Thank you for the kindness of the girl. The official knows how to deal with it, so he doesn't bother. Forgive this official for offending, I don't know if the two of you are gentlemen or ......"
"My lord, even if the two of us are not the open-minded sages and gentlemen, they are far from being the villains that everyone can get and condemn." Gang Leader Yu said categorically, his face was full of disgust when he talked about "villain".
"Hahaha, this official is joking with the two of you. Just what the two of them said today for the king's worries are worthy of the gentleman's behavior. In this case, the official will not be an accompaniment. Someone's coming......"
"What do you command?" In a moment, an errand ran to standby.
"Send them to the concierge for me. Also, I expected that Wang Er at the gatehouse must have received the money, and ordered him to return the money collected to the two of them, otherwise he would be swept away by the official tomorrow. "The magistrate ordered with great skill.
"Thank you, sir. So the woman withdrew. The folk girl dares to ask the adult to respect the name? Seeing this, the Yu gang leader had no choice but to get up and retreat. The son of John on the side seemed to want to speak and stopped, and finally learned from the Yu gang master and got up to retire.
"The official's surname is Di, and the word is Huaiying."
After the two left the county office, they got into the carriage and headed for the inn.
At this time, the two people in the car, not only the Yu gang leader, but even John Gongzi were a little inexplicably depressed about this visit.
"Yu, what do you think we should do with the official we saw today?"
"This man is indeed a little tricky, he is too upright, and he does not eat hard and soft. Once such a person is involved in officialdom struggles, he will either be incomplete or rise to prominence. ”
"So what are we going to do next?" Prince John asked.
"Find someone to take this Suzhou County for us. At present, it seems that it is impossible to find a family from this Suzhou County that dares to take over. I don't think it's better to leave it to Ge Gongzi, who is the rudder of Yangzhou. With his son's temperament, he will definitely block the god and rush forward fearlessly. Gang Master Yu said thoughtfully.
"I know, this is called borrowing a knife to kill!"
"Pretty much." After all, murdering a bureaucrat is a big crime, and at worst, it is a crime that cannot get along with the saints, which is equivalent to the crime of rebellion. In the previous dynasties, the first thing those peasant uprisings did was to kill the local county magistrate. Ge Gongzi of Yangzhou County himself understands, he is young and vigorous, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes, he does things regardless of any consequences, and he is a standard second ancestor. This is also why he was selected in the first place, of course, in fact, it also proves that he has indeed gained a foothold in Yangzhou by relying on this ruthlessness that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even has the momentum of overpowering a local big family in business. Therefore, it should be more appropriate to give him the words here, even if he can't get rid of the obstacle of this magistrate, it will more or less deter him. Moreover, he has already stated that he is from Hailing County, so it is inconvenient to use his own people from Hailing County to take over here in order to avoid suspicion.
"Yu, what you just told the adult about raising taxes, do I want to count it on your head?"
"Don't worry, John. If Na Zhixian really did that, he would not be afraid, and then he would be able to catch his handle. Privately opening taxes, setting up clever names, and ruining the reputation of my Tang Dynasty, these crimes are enough to drink a pot. Don't worry, if he really does this for the sake of political performance, then the extra tax money will be counted on my head. But, if I were you, Prince John, I would be counted on the head of the royal family, and you don't need to pay for the silver purchased anyway, so why not report more? Although Gang Leader Yu said this, she also knew very well in her heart that it was basically difficult for an aspiring but conformist official like Nazhi County to get into it. As long as he worries about the country and the people a little more, he may have a glimmer of hope of being convinced. At the moment, it seems that he is most likely going to play to his superiors, and then he will either sink into the sea, or be robbed of the credit by his superiors. Such an official who has just gone too far, I am afraid that he can only be a magistrate.
"Yu, I have to say, you are really very resourceful, and at the same time very humorous. It seems that this time I came to Suzhou County, I had to buy some silk to bring back. If they really listen to you, and the extra tax money will not be the same price next time. While admiring the shrewd business acumen of the Yu gang, John also felt the long-lost sense of humor, and then said jokingly.
In the city of Yangzhou, a certain Kangjia cloth village in the east of the city.
"How? Miss Kang. Presumably, these clothes styles should be very interesting, right? Li Tianyu saw that Miss Na Kang was staring at her masterpiece and pondering, so he said very proudly.
"Whew! Brother Tian, you are embarrassed to say. I don't even know what you've been putting in your head all day, even the intimate clothes that other women wear. Cui Hao sat aside and just took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but say to his brother Tian's smug look.
"You kid knows a fart! Art! It's called art. You shouldn't look at it with a pair of critical eyes, with the eyes of dialectical materialism. Maybe you'll love it in the future, too. ”
"To be honest, there is no big problem with the materials used in these things you paint, that is, I also made those shoes from the Kang family. It's just that I think your drawings are too exaggerated. Nothing else, no one would have been able to wear such a short skirt. It was Kang Yibing, the eldest lady of the Kang family, who spoke, but seeing that she frowned slightly at the moment, she looked at those Li Tianyu's design masterpieces with a slightly red face and said seriously.
"Well, it's up to you how you operate and promote. Besides, now my Datang clothing itself is a little open, you look at the previous days, where is the previous Hanfu and the current clothes look sexy. Do you dare to guarantee that your clothes in the future will not be made of less material than they are now, and they will show off your figure more? Good things always need to be accepted. Our Kang family itself is the boss of the entire Datang clothing industry, so naturally we want to lead the fashion trend, is it possible that you don't even have this bit of courage, right? "Damn, now the folk customs of Datang are so open, although the open-chested clothes and pomegranate skirts in the movie have not yet reached the level of being visible on the street, but I am not uncommon to see the kind of women's clothes that can show off their bodies and show their curves. I think everyone's receptivity is still relatively strong.
"Phew! Who is with you our Kang family. Don't think that if you have a stake in my Kang family, you can talk nonsense. What you say is not unreasonable, but since you came up with these ideas, you can't sit idly by. This promotion will also be entrusted to you. Kang Yibing remembered that his property was taken away by the person in front of him for no reason, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth like this.
"Isn't it? Then I don't want your Kang family's shares, okay? These works are my friendly gift to you. ”
"You think beautifully! Since it is up to you to start the matter, it is naturally up to you to solve it to the end. However, if it weren't for Daddy's insistence, I wouldn't mind if you returned that stake to my family. ”
"Yes, Tianyu, the so-called capable people work harder. Others don't have the opportunity to show off their skills even if they want to. I think you'll be gone. Chen Youliang also gloated on the side.
"Then why don't I give you this share, and you will be in charge of this?"
"Forget it, Tianyu. I'm not as knowledgeable as you, and I can even find a lot of ways to find that woman's clothes. Chen Youliang sincerely admired.
"Poof-ha-" Cui Hao on the side was caught off guard and squirted out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, which happened to spray on Li Tianyu's body, and then he laughed again.
"Xiao Hao, your uncle's. Do you know how valuable this piece of equipment is on your Brother Tian? This is more precious than the orange equipment that you can farm from dungeons, so you kid will tarnish it like this. It's really a Tibetan mastiff. Li Tianyu gritted his teeth while picking up the tea leaves that were sprayed on his body. Seeing this, Kang Yibing couldn't bear to laugh "poof".
"Well, here's for you." saw Kang Yibing handing Li Tianyu a silk handkerchief.
"Thank you. But I advise you not to rely on a handkerchief to buy me, and I will return you when I run out. Li Tianyu took the handkerchief and wiped his clothes while saying solemnly.
"How shameless are you? It's embarrassing to say that. I don't want this veil, to borrow your words, this veil has been defiled by you. ”
"Hey, I didn't expect that I, Li Tianyu, would be the one who gave people this life. Anyway, I don't remember who I owe a lot of money in my last life. Li Tianyu sighed sadly. Anyway, I really didn't owe any money to any classmates and friends in my last life? Moreover, even if he borrowed money from others, it usually did not exceed 200 yuan. But at the moment, I really owe this chick a lot of money, after all, the headquarters of her Tianyu League has occupied her family's old mansion. Thinking of this, Li Tianyu felt a little guilty.
"That's it. You can go and come up with a few samples of these costumes first, and let's figure it out together when we go back to the promotion. Since this is the first time that everyone has tried to reform the garment, I suggest that we adopt a marketing strategy of made-to-order production. In this way, there is no risk to be taken even if it fails. ”
"Aren't there still those samples? Brother Tian. ”
"You, shut up! Those samples are counted on my head. Li Tianyu said viciously.
Kang Yibing couldn't bear to laugh when he saw the situation. She only felt that there were three people at the moment, and there was no shortage of joyful voices.
"It's not like you, Tianyu. Before it even began, you thought of a way out for yourself. Shouldn't you do whatever it takes to succeed? ”
"Well, he deliberately said that to reassure me. Rest assured, my Kang family will not be down to this point. The styles of women's clothing you drew are not a problem, but there is another style that I am a little curious about. What kind of garment is this? Why do I see that there are so many pockets on it? And what color does this camouflage refer to? Kang Yibing asked, pointing to the rather puzzling work.
"Bananas! Thanks to your reminder, I would have forgotten about it. This suit should be called military combat equipment to be exact. Theoretically speaking, it is equivalent to the night clothes in the rivers and lakes, which is the kind of artifact necessary for home travel, murder and arson, and house robbery. I'll tell you the truth, I'm in a bit of a hurry for this thing. Hey, I said don't look at me like that. I'm not in a hurry to kill people and set fires. Besides, this style of clothing may become a popular style and set off a fashion trend. After Li Tianyu saw his masterpiece, he quickly remembered his special team plan. Anyway, after reviewing the special forces in the gang today, I always feel that something is missing. After inadvertently seeing the masterpiece in his hand, he realized that it was a lack of hardware - combat equipment. No wonder I didn't feel much difference between looking at them and looking at the ordinary little brother. The dare is that the equipment is not in place, and it cannot bring out the temperament. So Li Tianyu also gave the order to the people of that team to shave their hair short before leaving the gang headquarters. After all, he really planned to use that team to carry out the difficult task of killing and setting fire.
"Brother Tian, you're embarrassed to say. You are a ...... yourself" Cui Hao just said a while, and then Chen Youliang beside him held down his hand, handed over a color, and stopped abruptly.
"It has nothing to do with me whether you kill or not, whether you set fire or not, and I don't care about that. I'm just concerned about what kind of material you said you would have to make of this dress? And what color is camouflage? Kang Yibing hurriedly dissociated himself from Li Tianyu as if he was hiding from the plague god and said.
"The material is better to be strong and wear-resistant, and at the same time, it should also be easy to wear. In fact, you can make it with the material of that night suit. ”
"How do I know what the nightwear is made of?" Kang Yibing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Anyway, let the tailor look at the material. Anyway, these are the two requirements, if it is difficult, follow the latter requirement. In my experience, it's better to use a material with some toughness. As for the pockets on the clothes, try to do it according to the drawing, but you must pay attention to the ergonomic design of the place where the pockets are placed, oh, that is, how to use the position of those pockets conveniently. In terms of color, in addition to camouflage, there must also be black and gray patterns. The so-called camouflage color is actually a graffiti that mixes the green of the leaves, the earthy color of the loess, and the black. ”
"The three colors you mentioned are no problem, and there are no less than ten large and small dyeing workshops in my Kang family in Datang. But what's going on with this graffiti? Sounds like scribbling on it? ”
"Isn't it just scribbling! In short, try to scribble as much as possible, and never draw it in a regular way. And those three colors are better if you have me and I have you, rather than a pattern of green here and yellow there. Li Tianyu danced and gestured.
Chen Youliang and Cui Hao also heard this camouflage explanation for the first time. After the two of them heard Li Tianyu's explanation, they had the effect of the color of the clothes in their minds.
"You say that, do you have a template?" Kang Yibing asked with some confusion.
"There is no need for a template at all, how to come casually, don't be pressured, it doesn't matter if the clothes are right or wrong. Anyway, you just remember one word - do whatever you want. ”
It's noisy, anyway, this dress is currently specially for my special squad, even if each graffiti is different, then it is even more individual. If it really becomes popular and mass-produced, let them professionals figure it out on their own. But then again, if this thing can also become popular in the Tang Dynasty, it will not be far from the Internet era.
"These are obviously four words, Brother Liang."
"That's right."
