As soon as Zheng Jian's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became solemn, and even Gong Jing's face became grim, with such a huge number, it is indeed difficult to guarantee that no one will have evil thoughts, not to mention Liu Ze's words are unbelievable, if you don't send heavy troops to escort you, you can guarantee the tax without losing it, how is this possible?

Liu Ze smiled calmly: "Zheng Zhi suspects that the lower officials will swallow up this money?" Hehe, Zheng Zhi is too worried, before getting the palindrome of the court, the lower officials will not leave Linzi City an inch, once this tax is lost, the princes can take Ze and ask for it. ”

No one dared to joke with their lives, Gong Jingyan's face softened slightly, and said: "The cost of escort tax is fixed at one percent, and the official will add half a percent freight to Runde, I hope Runde is trustworthy, and the official is waiting for good news in the Assassin's Mansion." ”

Fifteen percent of more than one billion dollars is not a small amount, how can Liu Ze let go of this fat on his lips, and he didn't shirk it at the moment, and responded with a smile. However, Gong Jing was more satisfied, knowing that if the Qingzhou Mansion really asked the Qingzhou Mansion to escort these taxes, I am afraid that the cost of 20% would not be enough.

After the banquet, Liu Ze received the billions of taxes from Bo Cao, loaded hundreds of carts, Liu Ze did not go back to the pavilion, but went straight to the Linzi branch of Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang.

As soon as he saw the lord coming, the shopkeeper Wu of the Qianzhuang branch and Yu She, the dart head of the Linzi Dart Bureau, hurriedly greeted him in person.

"I have long heard that the lord was appointed as the commander of Pingyuan County, but his subordinates did not dare to leave their posts without permission, so they could not go to the meeting and ask the lord for forgiveness." Shopkeeper Wu and Yu She.

"Shopkeeper Wu and Yu Dart are loyal to their duties, what's wrong?" Liu Ze didn't mean to blame at all.

Enter the shop and sit down. Liu Ze asked in detail how the business of Qian Zhuang was. Shopkeeper Wu reported one by one that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qianzhuang's business has been in a booming state, and business is booming.

Liu Ze said that he had contracted more than one billion yuan of taxes for Gong Jing, the Thorn of Qingzhou, and although the shopkeeper Wu was slightly surprised, he still said as usual: "Although the amount of this amount is huge, there should be no difficulty in redeeming it in Luoyang, and the subordinates can handle the bills of exchange." ”

Although the amount of more than one billion is huge, it can be regarded as the largest business that Linzi Qianzhuang has ever taken over, but for Qianzhuang. No matter how large the amount is, it's a business. It's just a piece of thin paper, so the shopkeeper Wu is still not surprised.

Shopkeeper Wu immediately sent his men to collect the billions of money and issue a bill of exchange. Liu Ze wrote another letter to Jian Yong, asking him to pay the same amount of money to the Dasi Nong Mansion immediately after receiving the letter. Attached to the letter is the official document of the Qingzhou Assassin Mansion. Subsequently, Liu Ze handed over the official letter of the bill of exchange to Pan Feng. asked him to immediately arrange for Jin Yingwei's right-hand man to be sent to Luoyang Jian Yong.

For the Golden Eagle Guard. Liu Ze has a hundred and twenty hearts, and there is no doubt that these elites of his are loyal or capable. Not to mention asking them to send a letter in the midst of the chaos, even if it is a task ten times more difficult than this, they will complete it neatly.

Pan Feng promised, did not say a word of superfluous nonsense, and immediately arranged it.

Liu Ze sat idle in the money village for a while, told the shopkeeper Wu and Yu She, and then returned to the pavilion to rest.

In the middle of the night, Guan Hai, who was on guard, came over to report, and his voice was solemn. "My lord, there have been a lot of officers and soldiers outside the pavilion post suddenly, and the open posts and secret posts seem to be unfavorable to the lord!"

Liu Ze laughed. "It's okay, with these soldiers standing guard for us, we can sleep peacefully." Seeing that Guan Hai was still hesitating, Liu Ze said: "Since someone is standing guard for you, you don't have to go to patrol the sentry again, go back to sleep." ”

Guan Hai saw that Liu Ze was as stable as a mountain, and thought that the lord had always been like a god, so he didn't say anything more, and left.

It seems that this Gong Jing is still cautious, and sent people to guard against death, for fear that Liu Ze would escape with the money. I can't blame people if I think about it, more than a billion dollars, it's really not a small amount, once something happens, it's not just the official hat that is lost.

Liu Ze was in a good mood and slept until dawn. The next day, they simply moved to Tian Kai's school captain's mansion, one of which was that the conditions in Tian Kai's mansion were much better than those in the pavilion, and the other was also reassuring them.

Tian Kai naturally responded happily, Gong Jing's order to him was to be optimistic about Liu Ze, don't let him run away, originally Liu Ze stayed in the pavilion, Tian Kai was not easy to obviously send someone to monitor, only to increase the power of the dark whistle to star. Liu Ze automatically sent it to the door this time, and they tacitly understood each other, which made Tian Kai admire Liu Ze.

In the past ten days, Liu Ze was happy to be leisurely, traveling in the mountains and rivers all day long, cooking wine and tasting tea, and being at ease. Tian Kai never left an inch, accompanying each other.

At the end of the month, Gong Jing held a banquet to entertain Liu Ze, compared with Liu Ze's calm and calm chatter and laughter, a group of officials in Qingzhou Mansion were worried and frowned. After all, this is closely related to their net worth and life, and it is strange not to be nervous. What's more, today is the last day deadline set by the court, and I don't know if the people sent by Liu Ze have paid the taxes to the court's Dasi Nongfu, who is in charge of taxation.

Gong Jing has asked Liu Ze several times in the past few days, and each time he replied, please rest assured that he will receive a return in the near future. Gong Jing couldn't sit still today, and was about to ask Liu Ze again.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Gong Mansion hurried in, and behind him was Pan Feng. Pan Feng handed the letter to Liu Ze, Liu Ze opened it and looked at it, and smiled at Gong Jing: "Gong Envoy, the tax has been handed over in full to the Dasi Nong Mansion, this is the palindrome written by Dasi Nong Zhang Tao." ”

Gong Jing was stunned, how could this be possible, just according to the fastest escort speed, at best, he could only just arrive in Luoyang, and after receiving the reply, it would be at least seven or eight days later. He took the official document and looked at it, and there was nothing wrong with it, there was the autograph of Dasi Nong Zhang Tao and the seal of Da Si Nong.

"Runde is really a god, and in just ten days, he not only paid the tax but also got the palindrome, which is indeed a practical thing for my Qingzhou. Come on, come on, and borrow this glass of thin wine to toast Runde with a glass of gratitude. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Gong Yuanjun is polite, it is really an honor for the lower officials to solve problems for Gong Yuanjun." ”

Tian Kai and all the officials raised their glasses to congratulate each other, since Liu Ze had solved the great difficulty of paying taxes, the haze on everyone's heads dissipated without a trace, everyone was full of interest, and the originally dull banquet was also cheerful.

When the banquet was about to disperse, Liu Ze said goodbye to Gong Jing: "Gong Envoy, it has been more than half a month since the lower officials left the plain, and since the matter of Qingzhou has been completed, I should resign today." ”

Gong Jing said with a smile: "It's rare that Runde has come to Zizi this time, how can I spend a few more days in the future, so that the official can do his best to be a landlord." ”

"Xiaguan stays in Linzi these days to travel in the mountains and rivers, eat all day long, have nothing to do, Gong Zhijun gives a banquet every day, treats each other warmly, and the lower official is already begging for mercy, not to mention that Xiaguan is the order of the plain, how can he waste political affairs and waste the people."

Gong Jing was a little embarrassed, although Liu Ze was treated well every day, but it was like house arrest. Gong Jing thought about it for a while, this time he paid taxes, Liu Ze made a lot of contributions, and he had to show something.

"With the talent of Runde, it is really aggrieved to succumb to the governance of a county. In this way, the governor of the plain country is vacant, and Runde will take this position, and now the yellow turban is back in chaos, if Runde can quell the rebellion and make meritorious contributions, the official will recommend it to the court. ”

The state assassin has the right to appoint and dismiss the following official positions, and Liu Ping, the governor of the Plains Country, has just been removed by him, and he just happened to be a favor and gave the position of the governor to Liu Ze, as for seeking a higher position, it is up to the court to decide.

The captain of the national capital, which is exactly what Liu Ze dreamed of, is in charge of the military of a country, which will undoubtedly lay a good foundation for his next development, not to mention that Gong Jing let him concurrently lead the governor of the plain country, that is to say, the post of the county commander of the plain is still held by him, and the military and political power is in his hands, which is really good.

However, although he was happy in his heart, his face was still as calm as water. "Thank you Gong Envoy Jun for your support, and the officials will do their best to break through the yellow scarf. It's just that the Pingyuan County soldiers have been in charge of Liu Ping for many years, and Liu Pingsu is not at odds with the lower officials, and the lower officials are afraid that it will be difficult to dispatch them. ”

Gong Jing pondered for a moment and said, "This official has handed over the appointment and dismissal authority of officers below the rank of lieutenant to you, and you can act cheaply in the army, how about it?" ”

"Thank you, Gong Yuanjun." Only by grasping the power of reward, punishment, appointment and dismissal in his hands can he firmly control this army, and Gong Jing delegated the power of appointment and dismissal to him, how not to make him overjoyed.

"Runde, the burden of this lieutenant is not light, in today's troubled times, the heavy responsibility of surveying and suppressing bandits is much more difficult than acting for the political affairs of a county, you can do it yourself." Gong Jing kindly reminded.

"Gong makes Jun rest assured, but he will make Ze in the plain for a day, and he will never make the yellow turban disturb the plain." Liu Ze swore that he said.

Liu Ze shouted in his heart, this time he came to Zi to be regarded as making a lot of money, not only making a lot of money, but also getting the position of the captain of the Plains Country, and good things came in pairs.

The next day, Liu Ze bid farewell to Gong Jingtian and returned to Pingyuan City.

Lin Hai, the prime minister of the plains, seemed to have received the report that Liu Ze was also the governor of the plain country, and congratulated Liu Ze very politely, but Liu Ze could still feel the trace of unhappiness revealed in his body. Lin Hai is a person who is very deep in the city, and sometimes he really can't figure out what he really thinks.

However, Liu Ze didn't bother to pay attention to him, and the first thing he did when he returned to the plain was to reorganize the county soldiers in the plain.

Although Liu Ping was removed from his post and investigated, since Lin Hai escorted several death row prisoners to Linzi pretending to be Yellow Turban bandits, the Qingzhou Assassin Mansion did not hold him accountable. New hatred and old hatred are intertwined, how not to make him angry. Liu Ping instructed several Sima Junhou in that army to deliberately embarrass Liu Ze. (To be continued......)
