Chapter 59: The White Bone Spirit (11)

The tax police force was completed, and Hong Nanfeng looked at the neat queue with satisfaction. The regular army of the Great Song Dynasty shook the world and made great achievements. Because of strict military discipline, he participated in various disaster relief operations. Among the people, it has completely reversed the bad impression of the Great Song Dynasty of more than 300 years of 'thieves with troops'.

In addition to this army, which was resolutely obedient to the official family, the Great Song Dynasty had only three paramilitary organizations. The engineer was separated from the Song army, and the engineer was most proud of the fact that he had followed Zhao Guan's family to divert the Yellow River. The armed police and fire brigades were also separated from the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Both of these paramilitaries are inextricably linked to the regular army, the most notable being the tax police in front of them. This was an army that the Zhao family ordered to be established after the implementation of the tax reform. The initial target of the tax police was the domestic anti-tax landlords, not the ordinary poor. The 'Diao people' referred to by the tax police force have never been poor Han Chinese. The poor of the Han people are poor to death, and they dare not refuse to pay reasonable taxes.

The experience of the tax police proves the wonderful reality, and the people who dare to resist taxes are never poor. The poor with sticks in their hands had neither the ability nor the courage to resist taxes.

Walking to the front, Hong Nanfeng made a loud announcement before the departure. Although the tax police force was not separated from the Song army, most of the cadres of the tax police force had military experience, and the Song army had to explain clearly to these soldiers from ordinary families what they wanted to do before the battle. The more comprehensive the troops know, the better they will be able to face tough battles. This is the experience that Song Jun has accumulated over the years.

"Comrades, this time we are going to face a few villages that never pay taxes. The people of the village, who seemed to believe in the True God Religion, destroyed the survey datum and drove the people of the Han Chinese village away. We're going to meet these people today and see what they are all holy. Everyone should pay attention to safety, those people don't seem to take the court seriously......"

After making a simple and clear speech, Hong Nanfeng asked the troops to prepare the equipment for departure. He himself, in addition to preparing his equipment, was waiting for a call back. Since it is a paramilitary force, it has the power to use violence. Under the new system of the Great Song Dynasty, all regular and paramilitary organizations must have a strict management system. If you go out privately, what kind of guy is on top, you will be pushed to the end at the least, and you will go to court at the worst.

Before the tax police force can be dispatched, it needs the permission of several departments, especially to report to the imperial court for the record. Fortunately, there is now a telegraph line, and the news is much faster. However, Hong Nanfeng is not in a hurry, the tax police force is not a rapid reaction force, and the impact of leaving one day earlier and two days late is minimal.

To prepare here, You Yong, the director of the tax bureau, went to Hong Nanfeng's office. Seeing that You Yong was about to close the door, Hong Nanfeng smiled: "Just open the door and talk, what are you afraid of." ”

You Yong knew Hong Nanfeng's temper, so he opened the door wide, sat down in front of Hong Nanfeng, and whispered to Hong Nanfeng the news of Ma Qingchang's coming.

"Hmph. It turned out to be him. Hong Nanfeng didn't think it was particularly strange.

"That guy seems to be trying to be private." At this time, You Yong put all the responsibilities out. Dispatching the tax police force is never a trivial matter, the so-called official words are two mouths, and the officialdom is full of people, and it is unbearable to blame each other.

Hong Nanfeng is also one of the human spirits, and he has seen the trick of prevarication. Hearing Director You Yong say this, he rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "Are you afraid?" ”

"This guy has always been good at patting horses, if he says that he moves the prefect or someone else to come out and be a peacemaker." You Yong voiced his worries.

Hong Nanfeng immediately slammed back, "Don't worry. When did Da Song allow Diao Min to beat up tax officers? I have no ill will towards the prefect, but if the prefect wants to intercede for those people, I would like to ask him, is it because he instructed the people to fail? ”

You Yong grinned bitterly. Most of these guys in the society have military experience, and they are as rough and straightforward as Hong Nanfeng many times. I don't care about the rules of officialdom at all. But this straightforward style is also very enviable to You Yong. At least You Yong didn't dare to fight so rationally against the Luoyang prefect.

At such a time, if the prefect smashed down a big hat of 'destroying river crabs', it would seem like You Yong had done something wrong.

I wanted to leave after informing the opponent of the situation, but You Yong felt that it was not authentic. Before leaving, he dropped, "I've got your back." Our people don't deserve to be beaten. ”

After the internal affairs were completed, You Yong took care of some official business and prepared to get off work. I was just about to go out when there was a knock on the door. As soon as he looked at people, You Yong couldn't help but be speechless in his heart. It's really special to say that Cao Cao Cao arrived. The person who came was the secretary of Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang.

The secretary smiled and said to You Yong: "Director You, the prefect of the Wang Mansion invites you to dinner at night." ”

"Good. Hehe. You Yong laughed dryly, "Let me go home first and tell my family." ”

Entering the eighth month of the Song calendar, it was dark earlier. After going home and explaining, I rushed to Wang Quanle's prefect's mansion again, and it was already dark. Wang Lequan did not invite dinner at home, but invited guests to a restaurant in the Tang Pavilion in Luoyang. The Tang Pavilion is the hall of Luoyang's characteristic water seat, and when I arrived at the door of the private room, I saw Wang Quanle sitting on the main seat inside, and Ma Qingchang sitting next to Wang Quanle.

Now You Yong already knows what will happen. It must have been Ma Qingchang who said that Wang Quanle was moved to be a peacemaker, and wanted to uncover the previous Liang Zi of Ma Qingchang and the Taxation Bureau. Seeing You Yong coming in, Ma Qingchang immediately stood up, and even Wang Quanle stood up.

You Yong smiled and confessed to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'll go back and tell my family today, I'll keep you waiting for a long time." ”

Wang Quanle asked You Yong to sit next to Ma Qingchang, and after everyone sat down, he smiled and said: "It's good to let the secretary say a word about such things, why bother to say it yourself." ”

"Haha. I don't have a secretary. You Yong replied with a smile. It is true that he does not have a secretary like Wang Quanle's prefect, but he does have guards. However, the reason why You Yong didn't let the guards report this time was because he wanted to come later.

"Now that you're here, the people are here. Open! Wang Quanle said with a smile.

You Yong didn't say anything, and he was sure in his heart that these people didn't invite Hong Nanfeng, the senior of the tax bureau. Although there was no expression on his face, You Yong felt a little contempt for Wang Quanle in his heart, and he didn't know that he didn't dare to invite Hong Nanfeng, who was in charge of the tax police force, or went to invite Hong Nanfeng, but was refused. With Hong Nanfeng's character, there are two possibilities. The reason why You Yong had to delay a little time was to wait for everyone else to arrive first, if he came early, when he politely 'talked very happily' with Wang Quanle and Ma Qingchang, Hong Nanfeng walked in. How embarrassing that is.

With Wang Quanle ordering the banquet, the water banquet officially began. Luoyang water banquet is a characteristic traditional banquet in Luoyang, Henan Province, which belongs to the Henan cuisine. Because of the war, this Tang Pavilion was of course not opened from the Tang Dynasty to the present, but a newly opened store after the Great Song Dynasty recovered Luoyang. The reason why the name 'Tang Pavilion' is given is that it is borrowed from the strong Han people in the Tang Dynasty, and the other meaning is that because Luoyang Water Seat began in the Tang Dynasty, this name is given to indicate the authenticity of this shop.

The water mat was served very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, eight cold dishes were served. The eight plates are made of meat and vegetables, with a total of 16 different ingredients.

After the cold dishes were served, Wang Quanle picked up the wine glass and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the official family has rules to put an end to the bad habits of the wine field, and it is not allowed to pour alcohol and persuade alcohol, everyone is free." Here, dry this glass. ”

This logically contradictory remark made You Yong laugh secretly in his heart. He picked up his glass, stood up with the others, clinked glasses with each other, and drank the wine from the glass. The waiter who served next to her waited for everyone to sit back on their seats, and immediately picked up the wine jug and added wine to everyone.

Wang Quanle took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and the others took the dishes in front of them. There were rotating trays on the table, and Ma Qingchang gently turned the wooden swivel tray, so that the dishes in front of everyone changed positions. Wang Quanle likes the crispness of water chestnuts in sugar water very much, and when he saw the snow-white water chestnuts after peeling in front of him, he sandwiched two in a row and put them in his mouth.

"Director You, I didn't expect you to like to be a vegetarian." Wang Quanle said with a smile.

"I like sweets." You Yong responded.

"Then eat a few more." Wang Quanle said in a warm tone.

If someone else said this, You Yong probably thought that the other party was just talking nonsense. Hearing Wang Quanle say this, he began to doubt in his heart how rich this Ma Qingchang must be to be able to move Wang Quanle to come forward. So You Yong turned the turntable himself and quickly transferred the dish in front of him to the next one. If you don't do this, I'm afraid that someone will dare to leave the dishes for You Yong. Although he likes to eat water chestnuts, You Yong also knows the saying that there is no good wine and no good banquet.

Everyone ate all the dishes, Wang Quanle picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, have another drink." ”

Everyone drank the second cup, and the atmosphere began to relax. The so-called three rounds of wine refers to three rounds of toasting. You Yong felt that Wang Quanle would probably say something next. Just like Wang Quanle just said that Zhao Guanjia's statement about persuading alcohol, Zhao Guanjia is a cheerful person, so the regulations made are very interesting and straightforward. In the past, eating wine was a very expensive thing, and it was not uncommon for a banquet to cost 40 yuan. But forty dollars is not something that anyone can take.

Since such a large sum of money is used for eating, if someone does not drink, the main family, which is already bleeding in his heart, will inevitably be unhappy. For the sake of 'etiquette', the guests just don't like to drink, and they can only drink until the glass is dry in order not to be rude. And then there was the case of drinking and drinking the dead.

Just when You Yong was thinking wildly, he heard Wang Quanle continue: "Everyone, let's all serve the imperial court. Something will inevitably happen to each other, do you hold on to it at this time, or take a step back? ”

Of course, the people who came to accompany the wine were not fools, but they didn't know the conflict between You Yong and Ma Qingchang, and they knew that they had to echo it at this time. So they expressed their stance one after another.

You Yong didn't say a word, and at this time, one of Ma Qingchang's backers was Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang. That's it, You Yong still didn't say a word. If You Yong just knew that the people from the tax bureau were beaten, Wang Quanle would immediately go out. Ma Qingchang's idea may succeed. At this time, Hong Nanfeng of the society had already intervened, so there was no other way.

The people at the table all spoke, only You Yong didn't say a word, and Wang Quanle asked, "Director You, what do you think?" ”

"It's good to take a step back." You Yong replied.

Listening to this slippery answer, Wang Quanle could only continue to ask, "I heard that your people from the tax bureau were beaten, of course we won't let the tax bureau suffer such things." It would be good to leave the matter to the public security department to deal with. Director Zhang is here, Director Zhang, what do you think? ”

"Dare to beat our tax bureau people!" Director Zhang didn't know whether he was deliberately pretending to be surprised, or if he was really shocked by the news, in short, he said loudly, "Don't worry, we will never let the comrades of the tax bureau be wronged." After these boys are caught, let the people from our tax bureau teach them to relieve their anger in person. ”

When You Yong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. These people are very right, if they deal with it immediately when the matter first comes out, You Yong will not refute everyone's face. But at this time, it was too late, and with Hong Nanfeng's temper, he wouldn't let it go so easily.

What's more, this time the matter was ordered to be investigated by the above. You Yong didn't even want to refute the face of Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang, how could he fight against the people in the court.

So after smiling bitterly, You Yong picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, I also think that everyone should help each other, come, please drink this cup first!" ”

Except for Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang, everyone else raised their wine glasses. Wang Quanle didn't serve a wine glass, and You Yong didn't care. After all, Wang Quanle is the biggest official here, and he has the right to do this. Drink the wine first, and when everyone else has drunk it, You Yong said: "Everyone, it's not that I don't give face to everyone. It's just that we're here to collect taxes. According to records, there was a place where no taxes were paid after the recovery of Luoyang from the Great Song Dynasty. Do you think you should be taxed? If there is a fight, the matter is over, it is just a conflict. Our tax department was beaten, not once or twice. In Jiangnan, there were also comrades from the tax department who were killed. So this incident has nothing to do with the fight, so please forgive me. ”

The atmosphere at the banquet immediately cooled down, and Wang Quanle said unhappily: "Director You, are you deliberately not in charge?" ”

"I didn't mean to, I had to do it." After You Yong finished speaking, he stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

When he went out, You Yong regretted it in his heart. There are a total of 24 dishes for the whole table, including 8 cold dishes, 4 large dishes, 8 medium dishes, and 4 pressed table dishes, which are hot and cold, meat and vegetarian, sweet and salty, sour and spicy. The order of serving is very exquisite, first serve 8 cold dishes as an appetizer; Wait for the guests to drink for three rounds and then serve hot dishes: first serve 4 large hot dishes, each one is followed by two medium dishes (also called foil dishes or seasoning dishes), which is called "belt on the court"; Finally, there are 4 dishes on the table, including an egg soup, also known as send-off soup, to show that the whole table is full. Hot dishes must be served with soup water, chicken, duck and fish, fresh goods, mushrooms, seasonal vegetables are all included in the food, silk, slices, strips, blocks, dices, fried, cooked, fried, fried, and roasted, with endless changes.

He didn't get it, he lost it.
