239. Strict law and discipline

Cheng Jae underestimated Seo Wonzuo's appetite, or ambition. He only thought that Xu Yuanzuo was cutting the meat of the old Yuan family, but he didn't expect that Xu Yuanzuo was going to cut the meat of all the people who ran tooth shops in the entire Tanghang Town.

The Yuan family's tooth shop has the largest number in the Tang line, occupying a great advantage. When they saw the county government taking the Yuan family's knife, those who opened the Xiaoya Warehouse laughed.

When they saw that Yuan Zhengchun had aged ten years overnight, why didn't they have a sense of happiness in their hearts? I hope that Old Man Yuan will go west so that they can carve up the vacated market.

In the eyes of these people, the so-called crackdown on private teeth is just that the Yuan family is not in place and was slaughtered as a fat sheep by the government.

However, on the night of June 12, the gate of Tanghang, which was originally closed, suddenly opened.

Under the leadership of the local officer, the fierce and vicious county government officials and the archers of the inspection department began to "entertain" with the roster.

To say that the number of county officials and archers in the inspection department is actually not much. That is, two officials and four archers. The reason why no one in the entire Tang Xing dared to compete with them was probably because behind them, there were seventy or eighty strong men with long and short weapons standing.

The leader of these strong men is Gan Chengze.

The Xu family's family can only hold wooden sticks, but with the banner of the government servant and the inspection department, they can take weapons as a matter of course.

The guest is naturally Yuan Zhengchun.

Mr. Yuan was still enthusiastic about local public welfare in his sixtieth year, and donated 30% of the dry shares of the dental bank under his name to Renshoutang.

"I invite you to come tonight to announce this, and I hope you will testify." Yuan Zhengchun sat in the main seat and announced loudly.

It was Cheng Zai who started with Yuan Zhengchun, and then Hu Chen, just like the seat of Renshoutang. A few already knew the news and were not surprised. But more often than not, it's still ignorance. Not sure what happened.

"Renshoutang aims to support the township and benefit the township party in the future, so the old man is willing to donate." Yuan Zhengchun continued.

"Gong Yuan caught me and waited for this?" Someone in the hall asked angrily.

Yuan Zhengchun glanced at him, stroked his beard and said, "It turned out to be Friend Li." ”

If someone calls a student a friend, then Li Xiucai is naturally not afraid of Yuan Zhengchun, an unofficial person.

"Friend Li also knows. Renshoutang is not privately owned by my Yuan family. Yuan Zhengchun said: "Then my family donated 30% of the dry shares, and the others took my family's property for nothing?" ”

This makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. If you want to benefit the township party, why do you donate to Renshoutang? Play on your own!

Everyone thinks so, but no one says it. Not to mention the circle of villains on the periphery, even if you want to fight against the Yuan family, you have to think about your strategy.

"Yuan Gong is right." Hu Chen got up and said, "My ship's dock...... also donated fifty percent of the dry shares to Renshoutang. ”

Hu Chen's family only has one dock, and the volume is too small, so he donated an extra 20%.

Everyone took a breath in unison. secretly said in my heart: You are obviously forcing us to donate!

"After donating it, Renshoutang will get a big license, and you will be able to make a living legally." Cheng Zai sat on the Taishi's chair, pronounced clearly, and popularized the law for everyone: "The national law is very clear: for those who privately fill the tooth shop and the dock, the weight of the rod is sixty, and all the tooth money obtained will go to the official." For those who have private teeth in the official tooth port, fifty flogging. Dismissal is optional. ”

Cheng Zai said, looking at Li Wenming beside him. Said: "Mr. Li, what do you say?" ”

Li Wenming slowly stood up, put on a majestic posture, and said: "The old man's surname is Li, Li Wenming, and he is a friend of the county lord. This time, I am here to meet all the virtuous people. It is to pass on the teachings of the county: if you have the heart to turn back and donate your illegal gains, you can still get a license, and you will not be blamed for the past. If there is a stubborn person, he will be arrested and returned to the county government today. Strict law and discipline. ”

"I'm a student in this county, and I want to see the teacher talk!" Then Li Xiucai said loudly.

Li Wenming showed a cruel sneer on his face: "It's okay, take Li Xianggong to see the county honor." However, his family property, private business, his hired hands, and his servants must be taken care of first. ”

Li Xiucai was still not afraid, and said toughly: "You should be careful!" ”

Li Wenming didn't pay attention: "Does anyone else want to see the county honor?" ”

As the saying goes: If you are born and you can't enter the yamen, you can't die in hell.

I'm afraid it means that both places are almost dark, and it will be torture to enter.

There are about a dozen large families who have been invited, and those who have meritorious names are still not afraid, and they have to talk to the county officials. Those who have no fame are cowardly first, following in the footsteps of Master Yuan and Master Hu, and voluntarily donate shares of Yaxing, just to settle down and not blame the past.

Cheng Zai had already prepared the deed documents and asked them to come up and sign the pledge. In the end, it wasn't too much of a bully for them, and the people who originally had no place in Renshoutang also gained a place and naturally became shareholders of Renshoutang.

Li Wenming waved his hand and said, "These people are either operating private teeth, or hiding and sheltering private teeth, and they are all brought back to the yamen!" ”

The servants swarmed up, chained them, and pulled them out in the wail.

The wailing gradually faded away, and the Yuan family finally quieted down.

Xu Yuanzuo slowly walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "In this way, Tang Xing will be clean." In the future, wouldn't everyone be happy when they made money legally? ”

Yuan Zhengchun looked at Xu Yuanzuo, and his heart was full of feelings. At first, he thought that he had cut a large piece of flesh, and his heart was bleeding, and he almost died. Who knows that in the end, instead of losing, he made a profit - he is also a shareholder of Renshoutang, and Renshoutang took the shares of various dental stores, so he can naturally share dividends.

"I don't like to eat alone." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "I hope to do some good deeds with Master Yuan, Master Hu, and Cheng Xianggong." ”

"You're polite."

"It's a blessing for us."

The three of them said one after another.

Xu Yuanzuo walked towards Yuan Zhengchun again and grabbed his arm: "Yuan Gong, I admire you very much. If you take 30% of your dry shares, you won't take it for nothing. ”

"Jing Lian ......"

"Let's unify Tang Xing first, and then there are towns." Xu Yuanzuo said lightly: "Please also ask Master Yuan to transfer some people out, and everyone will get rich together." ”

Yuan Zhengchun's body stiffened, and his beard trembled: "The town of Quanhua Pavilion? ”

"The port and tooth shop in Huating County should listen to the words of the county." Xu Yuanzuo said as a matter of course.

"Is it for our private family? Or into Renjutang? Yuan Zhengchun asked.

"Enter Renjudo." Xu Yuanzuo said: "The company should have the appearance of being a company." However, as the founders, the shares of a few of us cannot be divided too much among them, and Yuan Gong must understand this truth. ”

Since Jiajing, private partnerships have become more and more common. Originally, two people partnered, each accounting for fifty percent, adding one person to come in became three into three, and adding two people to come in was two into five, which would be counted by anyone. Now listen to Xu Yuanzuo's meaning, the people who will be added later may not be able to discount the capital and count the shares.

"Let's take the shares of Renshoutang, let's say one or two shares. While increasing the share capital, they should not take it at our original price. At the very least, it has to be five or two to be fair. Xu Yuanzuo said: "This premium is earned by our hard work and hard work, presumably no one will object, right?" ”

"What if they refuse?" Hu Chen asked cautiously.

"Catch the county government." Xu Yuanzuo was a little surprised, do you still have to ask about such a simple matter?

Hu Chen frowned and said, "But it's not a felony after all......"

"Serious crimes still have a chance to escape, but misdemeanors are inescapable."

Li Wenming suddenly sighed. He received one thousand taels of silver from Xu Yuanzuo, plus a pair of blue and white vases from the previous Yuan to Zheng periods, and only then did he know the magnitude of Xu Yuanzuo's scheme. I thought I was using Xu Yuanzuo to help with things, but now I know that I and the county lord are the ones who are being used.

But fortunately, I also made a lot of money, and if I want to accumulate a thousand taels with curtain gold, I really have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. What's more, with Xu Yuanzuo's sensibility, this silver will never be the last one.

……

Of course, Xu Yuanzuo couldn't just stuff Li Wenming with silver.

The clerks and three shifts of errands in the county government, from top to bottom, are more than hundreds, and some are counted two, and each is very comfortable.

It just so happens that these people are experts in the whole person.

Li Xiucai entered the county government, and because he had a meritorious reputation, he could not be tortured, but being imprisoned for crimes was not among the preferential treatment.

Looking at the cell full of rats and fleas, Li Xiucai wanted to cry without tears, and began to regret that he did not know the time to hand over the shares.

What made him even more sad was that Zheng Yue had already sent a message to Ti Xuedao, asking for his fame to be removed.

If the protective umbrella of fame is removed, it will naturally be possible to use punishment.

Da Ming law, open private teeth, sixty rods, and recover the tooth money into the official; Conceal your private teeth, flog fifty, and chase the money to enter the official.

If you just beat a person to death with a light punishment like a cane, it will be too ugly to eat.

Fortunately, in this era, there is no principle of "no two penalties".

At the beginning, the document said that he had opened a private tooth store, but Li Xiucai was still a little lucky, thinking that the government had not found out. Who knew that after the fine was paid and the board was beaten, the person was arrested again before he could get out of the yamen.

After an inspection, Li Xiucai originally had a private tooth warehouse.

So he subscribed to another fine and slapped again.

Li Xiucai reacted at this time, it turned out that the people didn't leak it, and they obviously wanted to beat him up one by one!

"Small move! The small one still has five warehouses doing that private thing, and the small one confesses! Li Xiucai's buttocks were blurred with flesh and blood, lying on the court and crying.

There were a total of four students who were imprisoned in the county jail, and one of them saw that the news was not right, so he hurriedly asked his family to make money and came out early. Although the flesh hurts, I managed to keep my school status.

The other two had the same heart as Li Xiucai, but as a result, they were naturally expelled from school and became ordinary people.

Finally, they were lucky, seeing that Li Xiucai was beaten again and again, they spent money to leave the relationship as soon as possible, and finally pleaded guilty and were fined. Although his vitality was greatly damaged, his family property was almost confiscated, and his life was finally saved.

The hapless Li Xiucai returned home and finally died young due to serious injuries.

The news of what happened in Tanghang Town blew all over the Jiangnan Water Town with the wind.

Zheng Yue Zheng Zhi County, the limelight is unique for a while.
