The matter of levying commercial tax was already in Li Yanqing's calculations. The four major jobs of the county order, the tax money and grain should be ranked first, what did he do if he didn't have money.

The Ming Dynasty weighed agriculture and suppressed business, and the result was actually that the agricultural tax plus various mentions, salaries and so on were scary, and the commercial tax was thirty taxes and one other, and there were only a few stalls left that could be collected, and the tooth tax was far lower than the agricultural tax. What's more, it is those who open their storefronts and refuse to pay taxes by all means.

From the bright side, the business of Xiangshan is very good, with three streets and six lanes, and many large and small shops. But in fact, these shops have not contributed more than half of the money to the Ming economy, so what is the significance of whether it has or not?

Li Yanqing can't talk about being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but since he is an official of the Ming Dynasty and eats the Ming Dynasty's Yulu, he has to sit on the side of the Ming court. Eating meat in a bowl, scolding his mother in a bowl, this kind of non-human deed, he still can't do it.

With his current status, he is still a miscellaneous stream from a very good background, and it is beyond his power to reverse this phenomenon of overcharging agricultural taxes and undercharging commercial taxes nationwide. But in Xiangshan County, he is the only official, so who else can have an opinion on the collection of business taxes?

And in addition to the absence of Zuo Er, Xiangshan also has an advantage, that is, the style of writing is not prosperous. There are only a handful of talents in this place, and there is no one who lifts people or jinshi. Those masters who were in the Jinshi, such as Yuan Sanjie and others, all moved to the provincial capital, and the clan was not here. Huang Zuo's home is here, but he himself is dead, his son is not a word, he makes friends at home, he has no intention of career, he only has a show of talent and fame on his head, and the great master still takes care of him in front of his father.

Such a social environment makes his tax collection behavior lack a lot of resistance, not many people can interfere with him, and the only thing that affects him is his reputation. These merchants will definitely poke him in the backbone and even spread rumors against him, but he cares about this?

Raising hope for this kind of thing, that is what the talents in Shilin Qingliu need, what kind of hope do you raise as a miscellaneous official? He has no scruples at all, he can do whatever he wants, he has the posture of Xiangshan County, he wants to collect taxes, who can stop him?

If we didn't dare to accept it in the past, we still considered the problem of insufficient force, but now we don't even have this problem. Jin Yiwei cooperated with the county yamen, and its military guarantee was enough to support the entire operation.

At the same time, due to the powerful combat effectiveness and brilliant results of the yamen in the previous series of battles to recover the county seat and restore the majesty and economic order of the Xiangshan Yamen, the ruffians and idlers in Xiangshan County appeared in the darkness and went to the yamen one after another, asking to serve as helpers.

Unlike regular service, there is no formal establishment and no formal expenses. The money and grain spent are raised by the localities themselves, and they are a supplement to the local administrative forces, and the amount of money they want to recruit and what kind of treatment they want to give are all decided by the magistrates themselves. Anyway, it's also spent from your local finance, and the top doesn't bother to care about you.

Looking at the group of helpers below of uneven length, Li Yanqing didn't bother to say anything, just ordered: "In the hands of this official, there are still three places to be transferred to regular service." In addition, there is no canonical history in this county, and these positions are reserved for people who are energetic and clever enough. As for who can do it and who can't, the official hasn't decided yet, it's all up to you. ”

When the government was dispersed that day, one of the servants sent a roast goose over, and two helpers brought a girl who couldn't raise her head shyly, saying that it was her own sister, who came to clean up the bedding for the old man and be a rough girl. When they were blasted out, the third one to come in was the secretary of the military room of Benya.

"Master, my lady was born in a scholarly family, can read and write, and is a good cook. Although the master has tried the nine big dishes, this small jasper, home-cooked side dishes, has its own flavor. Today is the villain on duty, and the eldest man can come to my house and try the craft. ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help but pat the secretary on the shoulder, "I wanted to take you as a confidant, why are you like this?" ”

The clerk plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Master, this is my lady's nod, as long as the villain can do the history, I don't care about anything else." ”

Li Yanqing naturally wouldn't go to this subordinate's house to taste the taste of home-cooked side dishes and small jasper, if he wanted a woman, it would be good to take 700 Wen to master Xiangshan. What is important at the moment is to get the hearts of the people in the yamen in hand, and at the same time let them act according to their own arrangements, so as not to make trouble, and shout and beat the embarrassment of the people below but no one does it.

These new helpers were led by the old servants, practiced for a few days, and went to the streets to fight several times, and they were really suitable. They are the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods on the ground, and when the people see them, they must first be terrified. This time, with the official clothes to protect him, he is even more powerful and domineering, and he gradually has the potential to be invincible in the world.

Especially when they are not on duty, they will be dismissed if they commit a big deal. Anyway, the lord has something to say, start the revolution today, and recover tomorrow, what are you afraid of? As a result, the gains obtained from one expedition can be compared to the gains from three expeditions.

Seeing that the strength of the army was cultivated, Li Yanqing gave an order and ordered Zhang Yuande to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and the team swore to go on the expedition. On the right day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining, and Li Yanqing shouted a few times, "Good omen, good omen." Today, the sky is beautiful, and our army will win this battle. ”

A cadre of officials and people in brocade clothes and guards all drank Zhuangxing wine and brought a handy guy. During this period of time, the county yamen has achieved a lot of results, and there are savings in the hands, and the armament in the yamen has been greatly improved.

As soon as they got out of the yamen, some people shouted, "It's not good, this time the county master personally led the team down the mountain, everyone run." ”

The hawkers, who have been frustrated by the gangs these days, shouted and dispersed. The helpers had no choice but to say, "This matter has nothing to do with you today, don't run around, and if you run again, you will be fined." Stay honest, we're dealing with the shops today. ”

Before I went out, someone asked whether to start with a pawnshop or a restaurant first. Li Yanqing shook his head: "Let's find Chunfeng downstairs first." ”

"Sir, Chunfeng Building is not a place to mess with. He had the support of Liang Yuanwai behind him, and hired more than a dozen young and strong bodyguards from Wuhumen, Foshan. Back then, there was a sword that shook southern Fujian, known as the ninth master in the heavenly list, and went to our Xiangshan to want the overlord female ticket. As a result, more than a dozen people from Wuhumen plus Guigong and Teapot went up together, beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, and did half a year of hard work in Chunfeng Building before he was released. Whether we are opponents or not? ”

Li Yanqing naturally can't let this fear of difficulties spread, if he doesn't even dare to do a small building clearance, how will he do big things in the future? He led the brigade without saying a word, and went straight to the Chunfeng Tower. I saw that this team of people and horses had a murderous face, acting like the wind, and there were a few brocade guards behind them, they were really like tigers going down the mountain, and they were like dragons going out to sea, and their momentum was almost impossible.

As soon as the team arrived in front of the Chunfeng Building, they saw the windows on the second floor open, and several figures leaped out, and some people shouted: "What a powerful eagle claw grandson, he actually knows the whereabouts of his grandfather, but he wants to catch him, and wait for the next life." ”
