What no one expected was that the scribe of Guide County came to the door with a gift, and this gift was this copper hammer.

"Zhao Gongzi, such a vicious criminal doesn't know the depths, and he smears us outside to Guide Virtue, and the Gentry Guide all mean the same thing, and these people ask Zhao Gongzi to dispose of it at will!" The scribe who spoke was indignant.

The method of disposal is also very simple, and now all the heroes who came to help gathered here on Ma Muji's side, and directly slaughtered the Chang Tong hammer and hung it on the pole, which is the best deterrent.

Zhao Jin's ability, Zhao Ziying's strength, many people know the way, but now they understand how powerful it is, the leading role in Guide Mansion has not lasted for ten days, if you calculate carefully, in fact, it will be beaten in three days.

Although the hands were all done by the people of the Guide Mansion, those who had seen the team of Zhao Ziying felt that if such a team made a move, I was afraid that it would not take three days.

And Zhao Ziying is ruthless, he will kill when he says kill, everyone is not an official government after all, they are still a little cautious in doing things, and they all want to leave a line to see each other in the future, but they didn't expect Zhao Ziying to do it so neatly, which made everyone tremble, and when the officials of the government came, they ignored these things, and everyone understood that Zhao Ziying had the confidence to do so, and they were not afraid of the government at all.

As for the scribe of Guide County, he came to the door to ask Zhao Ziying to do one thing, that is, to collect taxes.

Seven counties in a state in the territory of Defu, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has not been any military disaster, although relying on the Yellow River, but the water potential here is quite normal, there has been no major flooding, there is no military disaster trouble, it can be regarded as how many years of wind and rain.

Because there was no civil unrest and famine, the power of the big households on the ground became more and more inflated, and they continued to annex land to strengthen themselves.

Over the course of a year, a large number of them belonged to Defu, and more than seventy percent of the fields belonged to less than 100 wealthy and gentry, and the rest were ordinary peasant households.

These powerful gentry concealed their land and delayed their taxes, and the yamen could not take much advantage of them at all, but the ordinary people's land was not good, and they could not knock out too much oil and water, and they exploited it too harshly, resulting in the bankruptcy of the peasant households and the swallowing of the fields by the big families, which was a vicious circle.

Therefore, the scribes and servants of all counties in Guide felt that this errand was not very meaningful, and they had worked hard and had not received much benefit.

They naturally heard what happened in Xuzhou, thinking that the situation in Xuzhou was similar to that of Guide Mansion, and even more troublesome than Guide Mansion, the gentry in the territory were strong and brave and good at fighting, and even the people were martial and fierce, and the tax collection was the same as the war between officers and soldiers, and dozens or hundreds of strong men went to the countryside with weapons, or robbed or talked.

Such a situation, after Zhao Jin took over the imperial grain tax, not only did everyone save trouble, but also shared more money and grain than before, of course, everyone knew that Zhao Jin took care of the tax, and he must have left enough of his own benefits, but now the situation of the Guide Mansion is that everyone has no benefit at all, and those big households do not pay at all or just pay a little, rather than no grain, it is better to take a fixed number.

And it is said that this Zhao Jin has the ability to make a fortune, in addition to making a fuss in the field, he can also figure out various ways to make money, and he can make a salt market out of thin air.

Everyone has heard of Zhao Jin's reputation, although the master of Zhilu Dao is young, he is a character of a promise, although he can generate and gather, but he does not take the silver money too seriously, Zhilu Dao shares profits with everyone, and he has never regretted what he promised to give, such a character is naturally worth cooperating.

The county seat, the state city, and the government are the world of the government, and outside the city is the territory of the powerful gentry, and what they want to do has to be carried out through them.

The scribes and servants are all shrewd people, of course they can figure out this truth, but they do things to get benefits, and if they don't get benefits, who cares who is assigned by whom, besides, no matter how Zhao Jin takes it, this Guide Mansion is also surnamed Zhu, in the final analysis, this package of grain is also to complete the tasks assigned by the court and Shangfeng, and it is not for rebellion.

"It's really not good to do it behind closed doors, when I come to the territory of this guide, I know who can be co-opted, who wants to suppress, those big landlords are known as loyal and good people, they are self-contained, just run the fields, when our Zhao Ziying is not there, and the other is close to Xuzhou and Fengyang, there are not too many fields here, so they can only find a livelihood elsewhere, these people rely on the salt road and the trade road to make a fortune, so they flatter us everywhere." Zhao Jin said this to his partners.

Before leaving Xuzhou, Zhao Jin wanted to win over the powerful gentry of Guide Mansion, and was ready to handle it in the same way as Xuzhou, and when he came here, he found that it was different, and the heroes of Guide Mansion, or all kinds of powerful people, were roughly divided into two categories.

One is the so-called loyal gentry, who run the fields and estates, and they make a fortune by exploiting tenants and annexing fields, the purpose is to obtain more and more fields, and then the children of the family mainly study and study, and seek to make a name for themselves in the imperial examination, glorify their ancestors, and by the way, exempt the family from taxes and annex more fields.

The other is the so-called heroes, those big landlords can have such a situation often have more than ten generations of inheritance and management, in other words, except for the direct children of these big landlords and gentry, no one else has much chance, and not everyone can make a name for themselves in the civil and military, and if they want to live better, they have to roll on the rivers and lakes, or think of making some floating money.

Most of the people close to Xuzhou are like this, and as soon as Zhao Ziying crosses the border, those who come to greet him are also of this type.

This side because of the proximity to the provincial border, as soon as there is something to hide in Xuzhou, the government can not govern, so there are quite a lot of outlaws, plus the Yellow River is the section of the river with frequent floods, the value of the fields here is not large, on the other hand, Xuzhou strong and powerful stretched out a lot, although it is not the provincial border, it is not difficult to add land or something to transit, Yunshan Temple, Kongjiazhuang and the like are involved.

Although the two sides are not in the same province, each has nothing to do, but for the Yunshan Temple and the like, it is better not to provoke or not to provoke, so on the side of Guide Mansion near Dangshan County, Xuzhou, there is no big landlord's grange industry, correspondingly, the second kind of "heroic people" also occupy the mainstream.

These big landlords and gentry are loyal and good, and even the government can't help it, they can't collect taxes, and they even have to be oppressed, and they also lose the loyal and good gentry here to cultivate and read the heirloom, and look down on such a cheap industry as the yamen officials, unlike the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, who directly let the family have children to be officials and control the government practice.

In fact, it is the same everywhere, the top powerful landlords do not pay, the middle level pays less, and the small landlords and the peasant households below are the most squeezed and pay the most.

If Zhao Jin takes over the grain endowment, the largest overpayment, the middle level is normal, the small landlords and the farmers below naturally pay much less than before, everyone in the world is for the sake of profit, giving benefits, people's hearts, naturally controllable.

When the group of scribes and servants of Guide were summed up, some people raised doubts, saying that after calculation, the benefits that fell on Zhao Jin's head were not too much, and the entire Guide Mansion was given a grain of one percent, which was a big fortune in our eyes, but this master may not be able to see it in his eyes, after all, if he wants to subdue everywhere, he also has to use swords to see blood.

But someone immediately retorted, you don't have to worry about the rich man, you think he earns less, in fact, he has to pick a layer of skin in the middle.

After a whip law, the taxes paid everywhere, and the servitude that the people should serve, were all converted into cash, but how could there be so much silver in the world, and when paying taxes, they could only sell grain at a low price.

To put it mildly, when the time comes, I am afraid that Zhao Jin will also make a fortune on the official face of the Guide Mansion, but it is not a bad thing to let him earn, he can't ask someone to do things and not make people rich.

On the other hand, Zhao Jin is subdued and returned to all parts of the Defu, so that those local tyrants who sit on the ground can pay taxes, and they will naturally be able to control them everywhere, and all kinds of businesses will definitely flourish when the time comes.

Knowing that there are interests that can make Zhao Jin tempted in this matter, everyone dares to come to the door to talk, if not, rashly come to the door, if Zhao Jin unites with those big households, they will die without a place to be buried.

As local natives, they consciously think well, but they have been in one place for a long time, and their vision is still very narrow.

After sending off these scribes, Zhao Jin and his partners said: "The benefits of the grain endowment of the Guide Mansion are good for us, but it is only good, we can control this territory in our hands, we must be careful to beware of the government, we must spend effort to suppress the combing, the profit of the tax and the dividends on the silver to buy grain, it is nothing compared to this hard work, if we spend the same effort through the Huai'an Mansion, we will get more benefits than this, but this Guide Mansion must be taken down, what do you say it is for?" ”

Zhao Jin rarely has this kind of school examination partners, he has been in charge of everything over the years, and the partners have become accustomed to listening to his assignments to do things, when he asked, Wang Zhaojing was okay, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong's expressions were formal.

"Guide Mansion is close to the Yellow River, and this waterway is valuable." Yoshika spoke first.

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, the most essential part of the Yellow River waterway is in Henan, from Shaanzhou to Guide, flowing through Henan, Huaiqing, Kaifeng, and Guide, this section is the rich core of Henan Province along the way, Kaifeng and Luoyang, two big cities in the world are not far from the river, and they are transported on the waterway, which can be imagined.
