Chapter 264: Speaking of Taxpayers

The county wants to come to the new county order, soon spread in the county, the people have heard that the new county order is a young man of the same age as the king, everyone is looking forward to the new county order can be the same as the king, to bring new vitality to the county, early the next morning, Wang Anshi and the Yuanze brothers sent Wu Chong out of the city, and finally sent away the chattering "Tang monk", the king breathed a sigh of relief, on the way back the three of them walked and chatted, the shops on both sides of the road were open, and when they saw the king, someone would always greet him,

Yuan Ze and Yuan Ze next to Wang Anshi were left and right, Yuan Ze said: "Fortunately, we sent Professor Wu away, otherwise he should nag his brother again, the young man is too ambitious to be lucky, and small tricks are difficult to achieve big things." ”

Wang Anshi walked in the middle with his hands behind his back, seeing that Wang Bei's popularity was so high, he couldn't help but be proud of Wang Bei, but he said: "Actually, Wu Chongqing's words are also reasonable, and Bi'er's debut has been relatively smooth, maybe in his opinion, people who used to be three-grade officials, have more ways to solve the corruption of Zhu County's order through normal channels, such as reporting to the imperial court, especially like this Zhu County's order, not our county, but now the good local officials are a minority, all like the side, in case the fire is not well controlled, When the people make trouble, it will not be easy to deal with this matter. ”

Wang Bian knew that his father was defending himself, so he said with good intentions: "What my father taught me is that our Great Song Dynasty has inherited the shortcomings of five generations, and various systems have demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, just like this errand law, the government will catch strong men at will, which will inevitably cause a waste of manpower and material resources." ”

Wang Anshi looked at Wang Bian in surprise: "That's according to the side's opinion." ”

Wang looked at the shops on both sides, and thought of one thing in his heart, in the era he once lived, there was a word called taxpayers, and there was a classic story, that is, a suspect pointed to the policeman and said: "Remember, I am a taxpayer, and it is we taxpayers who are supporting you." Thinking of this, he said to Wang Anshi: "Father, these people are taxpayers, the officials of the court rely on these taxes to live, if you harm the people again, it is a corrupt official, the people pay taxes, and they should enjoy the services provided by the court when they fulfill their obligations, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the servants are for the court, the court should allocate money from the taxes, and the magistrates use the money to recruit officers, and they will be restrained." ”

Yuan Ze asked: "Then if the officials are still squandering, and increasing taxes in order to squander, won't the people still suffer the same." ”

Wang Anshi was interested in looking left and right, it was very interesting for the two children to express their opinions, Wang Fang disagreed: "Everything has two sides, what you are talking about is the use of taxes, of course, there is also the issue of collection and supervision, the way of collection must be changed, and the supervision must also be changed, so that unity can play the greatest role." ”

"That's a good point." There were suddenly a few clapping high-fives behind them, the father and son stood and turned around to look, a young man in a light cyan robe stood behind them, the man arched his hand and said: "Hello Mr. Wang, student Li Ding to meet Mr., if not, Yuan Ze, you are good." "The person who came was Wang Anshi's student, the new Linchuan County Commander Li Dingli senior,

Although Wang Anshi said that he taught many students, he might not remember his name at first glance, but when he saw it, he naturally recognized it: "Senior, we knew you were coming yesterday, and it was really fast, you are." Wang Anshi saw that he was in the dust, and he was still carrying a package.

Li Ding said: "I also just entered the city, I wanted to go to the county government to report first, and then go to visit Mr., who knew that it looked like Mr. from behind, and I was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so I followed a few steps, and heard the three talking about taxes and servitude, what they said was simply too exciting, so I couldn't help but high-five, no, it alarmed Mr. and the two sons, hehe" Li Ding said, smiled embarrassedly,

Wang Anshi saw that this student was very decent in his manners and respected himself so much, so he was naturally happy in his heart, and hurriedly said to Li Ding: "I'm not in a hurry to visit, you go to the government office first, and then come to Yanbupo after you finish your business." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the county government first, if not, Yuan Ze, you two wait for me, we won't sit down for a while." Bidding farewell to Wang Anshi, Li Ding greeted Wang Yuanze again, and seeing that Wang Yuanze happily agreed, he hurriedly walked to the county office.

"Not bad." Wang Anshi nodded and muttered to himself, Wang Pan and Yuan Ze both knew that Wang Anshi felt that his student was not bad, "Hey, next to you, didn't you say that you were going to leave in the next two days." ”

This is a big deal, Wang Bian did not leave for a long time, because he now knows that he has not been able to find the lost volume in the south, and there are many articles in the volume to be checked, and he has been in Linchuan for two months, Wang Bian has already felt that there is something to discuss with Hou Shuxian, and let him help with advice, but this matter has not had time to be discussed in detail, Wang Bian said to his father: "Soon, Cai Jing has asked people to bring letters these days, and he is going back to the capital from Jianzhou, I want to arrange some things for him, let him return to the capital to deal with it, and then I will go on the road." ”

"Didn't that brother take Cai Jing with him on this trip?" Yuan Ze asked on the side,

Wang said: "Brother, won't you go back to the capital for the time being, when you leave, take Rou'er and Guan'er, I'll let Wazhuang lead the way, Mr. Hou and Chen Kang will go with me, I'll make an appointment with someone, and I'll go to Shudi." ”

"When you go to Shudi, what are you going to do?" Let Yuan Ze continue to ask like this, he can't finish asking when he gets to the house, and this is not a sentence or two that can be explained clearly to Yuan Ze, Wang said to his father: "Father, you go back to the house first, I'll go around the street, brother, do you want to come with me." Yuan Ze hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, my homework has been delayed for too long, I want to go back to read." ”

This nerd, I knew that he wouldn't go, Wang Bian said so, and his father and brother parted ways, Wang Bian went around a big circle in the county, more and more people on the street, and there were more people who greeted Wang, and some people asked Wang Bian if the new county order arrived, whether Wang Bian knew it, Wang Bian smiled, just saw Li Ding walking in simple clothes, and did not bring any entourage, this person is still relatively low-key, maybe he also wants to be like himself, where he goes, he will first understand the folk customs in private, so Wang Bian said that he doesn't know if he has come,

Wang Bixin walked down the street, weighing the pros and cons of finding or not finding the scroll, and just walked to the door of Ruyi Restaurant, he heard someone beckoning inside: "Wang Gongzi, you can be idle today, come in and sit down, it just so happens that our shopkeeper is also there." ”

It was Zhang San who spoke, since the punishment of Zhu County's order, these people have also been much more honest, especially every time they see Wang Bian, they are respectful and polite, the Jiang shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant has not helped much this time, although he was a little domineering before, and he was indispensable for bullying and dominating the market, but this person is quite righteous, and he was forced to do so by the government's heavy taxes, and he will do whatever it takes to survive, although it is not advisable, but isn't there a saying called turning back is the shore, not to mention after this incident, The buying and selling shops on the street saw that the shopkeeper Jiang was not like the eyes of the bandit bully when he saw it, and the shopkeeper Jiang himself was much more restrained.

For such a person, Wang Bi still didn't mind associating with him, he stepped into the restaurant, and Zhang San shouted inside: "Shopkeeper Jiang, Wang Gongzi is here." ”

Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly greeted him from the counter, there were not many people eating in the restaurant, he instructed the man to bring good tea, and the two of them found a place to sit quietly: "Oh brother, I just knew that you are the king of the capital, why didn't you say it earlier, I have something to ask you for." ”

Wang looked at him with a sincere look, and asked with a smile: "What do I have to promote, Brother Jiang can tell me if he has anything, don't ask for anything." ”

Shopkeeper Jiang glared and said: "How dare you not ask, is there anyone else who doesn't know about your Jinxiu Building in the capital, if you want to talk about this restaurant business, who is better than your prince, I, hehe, just want to ask for advice." He said and pointed upstairs with his finger: "Your restaurant business is so good, how did you ** these girls." ”

This shopkeeper Jiang doesn't study the dishes, how can he use his brains on this: "Haha, when I have the scenery of the splendid building, I don't use these girls." The shopkeeper Jiang scratched his head when he heard this: "I'm a rough person, I don't understand this." ”

Wang said: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I'll call someone over when I go back, help you become a chef, and make some fresh dishes that are not available here." ”

"Hehe, that's good, that's good, brother, you bother more, by the way, I heard that the county is going to have a new county order, and it's quite young, I have paid special attention to the faces of our county in the past two days, don't say, there was really a young man yesterday, living in this store, hey, he still looks really good, just like your brother, and he is extravagant, and he has a few followers, do you say it will be a new county order, do I want to entertain it."

Every time Wang Pan saw Jiang Shopkeeper, he remembered Jiang Menshen in the Water Margin, but he was also surnamed Jiang, looking at his five big and three rough looks, Wang Fang felt funny, and he had just met Li Ding, knowing that Jiang Shopkeeper was talking about someone else: "You person, why do you make old mistakes again, instead of treating him well, it is better to do business in your own right, you see, this time you will calculate, is it still appropriate to pay taxes according to the rules." ”

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head: "Not really, this is a brother, you have exposed the matter of this county order, otherwise we would not be a bamboo basket to draw water." ”

Wang thought about it, and what he said made sense: "Even if it is a new county order, it is not an overnight thing for you to entertain him, besides, if the new county order is in office, just go directly to the government office, how can you still live in a sharp store here." ”

Shopkeeper Jiang patted his head: "Yes, I have to say that you are smart brothers, why don't we partner together, this restaurant is half of you, and you can help your brother think about something in the future." ”

When Wang heard this, the shopkeeper Jiang really didn't see it: "Haha, forget it, Brother Jiang, I can help if I can, as for the restaurant, you still have to do it yourself slowly, and besides, you don't do it very well." ”

Shopkeeper Jiang was laughing, and the two of them were laughing, when a voice behind them said, "Shopkeeper, check out." Shopkeeper Jiang stood up: "Brother, you sit first, and I'll be back soon." As he spoke, he walked towards the counter, and while settling the money for the house, the man asked, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you if there is a family surnamed Wang in this county, and this family has a son named Wang." ”
