After finishing speaking, Zhao Jin turned around and said a few words to his partners, and then walked down the wooden platform and walked towards the greenhouse behind the wooden platform

Ruhui and Zhou Xuezhi walked up to the guests and said with a smile: "Please sit down, and the tea will be served immediately."

These were also arranged in advance, and the guests watching on both sides also knew the weight of Ruhui and Zhou Xuezhi at this time, and they all responded quickly and politely, and walked towards the greenhouse.

Those who knew each other while walking, those who were fellow villagers, and those who had a relationship with each other in the past were talking to each other.

"I thought that this time Jin Ye didn't hide his selfishness, and he could learn some real skills when he came over, but I saw it today, these things are what Jin Ye can do, and only capable people can do it."

"I told you a long time ago, the Yiyu people of the Lin family of Tianjiazhuang are like people here, and it's nothing when they go back, it's okay to put up a formation, and it's not much stronger than before when they fight."

"Of course, Xuzhou has only produced a Zhao Jin for so many years"

"I heard that Zhao Dadao took his mother-in-law back to his mother's house, and hid from the rain halfway, the mother-in-law fell asleep at that time, and dreamed that there was a tiger in the forest rushing over, and she woke up in fright, and she gave birth to Zhao Jin, and when she saw that the head was shocked by the blood, the tiger also came out."

They all admired, and everyone who saw today's scene also felt that Zhao Jin's success was God's gift, not to mention anything else, just those rules and things made people feel unfathomable.

The canopy was so large that nearly a hundred guests from all over the world could sit down, and the companies everywhere were lined up around, and in front of Zhao Jin's hall, there were seven chairs, and they were placed on a low platform, and everyone else was sitting opposite.

The one in the middle of the seven chairs is a high-backed Taishi chair, which is larger than the other six, and it looks very conspicuous.

Needless to say, this position is Zhao Jin's, Zhao Jin is not polite and humble, he walked over and sat down directly, Chen Huang did not hesitate, and directly made the first chair on Zhao Jin's left.

And the Zhang Jixiang on the right began to want to go over, took two steps but stopped, turned his head to look at Shi Manqiang, Shi Manqiang, who was usually tenacious, hesitated, looked at Zhao Jin, and turned his head to look at the others, Dong Bingfeng was also waiting intently, and some people looked at Ruhui who was standing on the side, but Ruhui smiled and waved his hand, turned around to entertain the guests, only Liu Yong didn't look at this, but kept scanning the crowd.

"Zhao Jin, the position on your right might as well be empty, so it should be left to Wang Zhaojing's sour son." Chen Huang said suddenly.

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the seat and said: "This position is vacant, it should be left to Wang Zhaojing, the stone, you sit next to Da Huang, Da Xiang, you sit on the edge of this position, Bingfeng, sit next to the stone, Xiao Yong, you go to the one on the right, I have wronged you."

Hearing Zhao Jin's arrangement, everyone looked at each other and nodded, Shi Manqiang and Dong Bingfeng both quickened their pace and walked towards their seats, Ji Xiang stared at the position next to Zhao Jin, but still breathed a sigh of relief, walked to his seat and sat down, and Liu Yong smiled and said, "It's okay, big brother", and he sat there on the right.

Seeing that he was seated above, Ruhui said loudly: "Please sit down." ”

After shouting this, Ruhui and Zhou Xuezhi walked forward quickly, and invited the pre-determined head and face figures to the seats, gentry and celebrities like Cai Juren, of course, they had to sit in the first row, and everyone in the back of the first and second rows was also in their hearts, and the dispute was nothing more than the left and right positions, and it was decided under the mediation of someone.

Everyone's attention was not on this, everyone looked at the seats on the low platform at the front, and they were all whispering.

Since Zhao Jin's name is known, there is gradually a fixed topic on the ground in Xuzhou, that is, how are Zhao Jin's brothers seated, from the former "Little Bayi" to the current "Seven Heroes", which one is stronger, that one is weaker, Zhao Jin is the chief of course, what is the rank of others, Chen Huang seems to be recognized as the second place, but Wang Zhaojing's family background is noble and superb, and he should also be the second place, as for the other people, there are more arguments.

Talking about these things is purely interesting, just like the ranking of those heroes and heroes in the legend of the Three Kingdoms of the Water Margin, which is very useful for the people of Xuzhou to talk about after dinner.

All these arguments and speculations, today should be a conclusion, and not in advance of the position of Zhao Ziying, now this seat ranking is very clear, Zhao Jin in the center has nothing to talk about, the left is respectful, the first Chen Huang on his left is the second, the vacant position on the right is said to be reserved for Wang Zhaojing, he is the third deal, so one by one, Shi Manqiang is fourth, Ji Xiang is fifth, Dong Bingfeng is sixth, Liu Yong is seventh, and some people have mentioned, if Sun Dalei is here, I don't know how many people can rank, But no one cared.

The ranking is not according to the level of force, nor according to the family lineage, it seems to be a combination of several aspects, which seems to be very reasonable.

Talking below, the few people sitting on it were also unstable, Ji Xiang, Shi Manqiang and Dong Bingfeng all looked left and right before they were calm, while Zhao Jin, Chen Huang and Liu Yong didn't feel anything.

It didn't take long for Zhao Jin to signal to the side, and it was ringing again, the scene was habitually quiet, someone had already sent tea to each guest, Zhao Jin and a few of them also had a coffee table at hand, Zhao Jin picked up the tea bowl casually, raised it like a toast, and said: "Zhao Ziying's private affairs, but I am tired of accompanying you, you have worked hard"

He didn't get up in his seat, but the guests sitting there got up one after another to return the salute, and said gossipily: "Master Jin is polite." ”

"Since Zhao came to this He Jiazhuang, you are enthusiastic to help, the last rescue of Xuzhou, but also to help each other, the last few things will not be said in detail, everyone is kind, Zhao will not forget, will not owe you, the past few days everyone has discussed very clearly, Zhao is here to say the articles of association one by one, if there is a regret or the like, do not say it today, do not say it in the future." After Zhao Jin put down the tea bowl, he said indifferently.

The people sitting in the back row all leaned forward, wanting to hear Zhao Jin's words clearly, the distance was too far to hear clearly, and Zhao Jin didn't need to shout like outside when he spoke.

"First of all, I will tell you good news, such a catastrophe in Xuzhou this year has hurt the vitality, Lord Zhizhou decided to report the disaster, please go to the peak, and ask the imperial court to reduce our money and grain in Xuzhou for three years." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

The people in front were stunned, some people in the back stood up directly, and the rows behind were in a hurry to ask because they couldn't hear clearly, and they couldn't sit down after they understood.

Seeing everyone's faces full of surprise and expectation, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "Looking at everyone's appearance, it seems that they are all good citizens who pay taxes according to the rules, and they are actually happy to be like this."

Everyone is happy, but they all want to hear the following, they are all keeping quiet, the room is still silent, and when Zhao Jin says this, everyone can't hold it anymore, and everyone laughs.

Fifteen taxes per acre of land, positive taxes, exacting taxes, miscellaneous taxes, apportionment, the law of the Ming Dynasty, local taxes, the benefits of the yamen and the servants themselves, all aspects add up to far more than the fifteen taxes one, the production of this acre of land, almost one-third of the collection, this is still a regular practice, and the people who do things still have a conscience.

This one-third of the harvest often has to be exchanged for silver, when the autumn grain, the silver is expensive and the grain is cheap, and it cannot be sold at a price, and when the silver money is handed over, it is more than one-third, and sometimes it is difficult to consume half of the harvest.

After a year of hard work, a third of the harvest is taken away at once, and the following days will be very tight, if half of it is gone, there will be big trouble when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the life of the common people and farmers will be very hard.

However, if you can enter this greenhouse, there is a seat for the characters, you don't have to worry about this, they have a large amount of land hidden in their hands, and they don't have to pay taxes at all, so they naturally don't have to worry about this, and some people have land and property in the register, but they have knives and guns in their hands, and they have backers behind them, and the servants don't dare to come to the door to collect them.

"Master Jin, are you sure about this? I heard that it is very troublesome to get free food in the local area now. Someone asked below

Zhao Jin replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, Tong Zhizhou's side is just a line, and the old Mr. Wangshan will write a letter to persuade the relevant bigwigs, the displaced people from Shandong come to our Xuzhou to cause trouble, there is no reason, only Shandong is relieved, we have nothing." ”

As soon as Wang Zhaojing's father Wang Youshan came forward, everyone's suspicions were dissipated, the local disaster occurred, the imperial court's relief was often not timely, and the amount was far from enough, and it was up to the local gentry and people to work hard, and the only thing they could do was to exempt money and grain and reduce the burden on the local people.

Being a Jinshi in Zhizhou is the most unpromising, no one will give this face, but Wang Youshan was born in the Qingliu of the capital, and there are really many people who can sell face in the past, and the possibility of this thing being successful is much greater.

When everyone below almost digested the news, Zhao Jin smiled and said: "A few days ago, we discussed, in addition to the government's taxes, my side will ask for one percent, and the bulk of the conscription will be borne by my side, and now since the money and grain are exempted, what was said at that time must be changed, if it is exempted for three years, then I want three percent in the first year, and two percent in the second and third years, and the conscription here is still borne by my side." ”

The people in the seats were quiet, and then they were in an uproar, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhao Jin, so they could only exchange glances with each other and talk in a whisper.

Cai Juren, who was still in the first row at the end of the day, stood up, and he said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, the rules have been agreed on that day, and the imperial court's exemption from money and food should have nothing to do with this rule, Zhao Gongzi, you are successful, and everyone is still."

"Zhao blocked a lot of things for you, but if you don't say it, everyone thinks it has nothing to do, just yesterday someone came to Zhao and asked Zhao to take care of the grain difference, and Zhao can take half of the taxes collected, which is one or five or two percent." Zhao Jin said leisurely.
